We stumbled across this place and were pleasantly surprised.
Loved this place. Very authentic. My husband has lived in Austria and Germany worked and traveled extensively in the hospitality business. Bier is delicious and served in the traditional way. We’ll be back for sure!
Mr. Dunderbak's has been a Tampa staple for as long as I can remember. Their food is excellent, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and now they are brewing their own beer which is excellent. If you've never been here before, this is a must visit restaurant.
I highly recommend checking out the soup of the day which they make from scratch. I also highly recommend the Kassler Rippchen and the Schweinhax which is only available in limited quantities on the weekends.
I love their beer selection and you should try their cheese plate to go along with your beer selections. Fabulous experience and friendly staff who will help you make selections if you are having trouble deciding.

Didn't know what to expect when I pulled into a shopping center, but that rapidly changed when I saw the Biergarten. This place oozes pub. All in all it was a good meal and I'll be back again.
Currywurst Berlin with Bratwurst and Weisswurst
The smell of curry hits you when it arrives, the wurst is in a tomato sauce, it's like a curry accented take on a BBQ sauce. Tasty! The sausage has a smooth consistency but I couldn't tell the difference between the two sausage types.
Saure Sahne Schnitzle, Sauerkraut, kartoffelsalat
The Schnitzel is like a country fried steak for you southerners out there. The sauce was similar to a stroganoff but with a little more . Half the veal was really tender but the other half was a little chewy. Overall it was very good.
The sauerkraut was killer! Tangy but not overpowering and not bitter. The German potato salad was vinegary, as designed, the bacon was unexpected. It was ok.
Jagerschnitzle, spätzle, and garlic potatoes
The Schnitzel had the same texture as my previous one but the gravy was the differentiator. It was a brown gravy with a strong beef flavor. It was also tasty, but of the two I preferred the sour cream version.
The garlic potato cubes were simple and tasty, they had a good crisp to the outside. They were seasoned well. The spätzle were ok, they were mild in flavor, a little too mild for my taste.
Apple streusel and vanilla ice cream
Your classic apple pie a la mode. Eat the streusel with your ice cream. I am a compartmental eater generally and at first the cinnamon, allspice and cloves(?) hit hard, but they cut through the plain vanilla and work really well together.
My buddy Jason Saltsman got the draft root beer and wished it had more bite.

July '16: Potato pancakes lacked onion or any notabale flavor(s); had the texture of mashed (hooey). Red cabbage lacked flavor.
HP octoberfest was good; the pork schnitzel w/ sour cream sauce was a superior substitute for the jaeger on the schnitzel & spatzle. It had large slices of fresh mushrooms & garlic, but Herr Dunderbak "why are you so cheap on your gravies/sauces"? One would think they're out of Ft Knox.
The pork (tenderloin) schnitzel was the best. The spatzle was very good, & Shad, our waiter, was attentive.
We've been here twice & the traffic (Bearss, Bruceby Downs, everywhere) has been ridiculously bad each time. We don't live in the area, so we probably won't be back.
Initial visit: Drove two hours (roundtrip) to experience what all the hype was about for this "legendary" german eatery. We found that the potato pancakes, schweine jaegerschnitzel, red cabbage, & hot potato salad were all excellent.
The pancakes were robust w/ onion; the schnitzel was tenderloin (nothing but lean pork, tender & flavorful) & lightly crusted; the potatoes in the hot salad were as close to being perfectly cooked as I can recall.
We weren't as high on the jaeger sauces (both brown & white lacked flavor; how about more base & garlic), the spatzle (should never be served without a good dredging of sauce/gravy in my opinion), & the chocolate cake (tasted like one of those frozen cakes). I was especially surprised by the ambiance of the dining area. It was more of a Cracker Barrel gift shop atmosphere than a "BIERGARTEN".
Our waitress (Keri) was charming & attentive. Our meal w/ appetizer, two entrees, three beers, & dessert came to $66 (tax & tip incl).
Awesome beer selection! This is where my friends and I go when we want a night out in Tampa! The food is good, and we all different favorites!
All I can say about this place is: Das ist sehr gut! Great food and excellent selection of beer. Even if you don't like beer or aren't of age this is still a good German restaurant with a unique atmosphere unlike anything else in Tampa. I recommend the Chicken a la Dunderbak's and a pint (or liter if you're up for it) of a hefty beer.
The food, as always was great. I tried the sour cream schnitzel. Delicious. My husband had the hawaiian schnitzel, which he liked. The service was great, very friendly. The is one of our favorite places to eat.
Just passing through and found this place. So very glad we stopped. Food was so very good. And the staff was very attentive. Like German food this is one of the best I have been to lately.
Food is phenomenal, it's dialed in the be precisely German with some polish thrown in, the beer selection is strong with some in house options. Service is always great, between the servers and the owner they're very friendly and they'll walk you through whatever questions you have. The atmosphere is top knotch, great little side are to grab some gems you really can't find anywhere else. Phenomenal job, I'll always come back when om in the area.

Tampa/St.Pete trip Part 1
Very much enjoyed eating at this classic and historical German restaurant. So much to look at and an extensive menu. Very busy but most things were tasty. My favorite were the potato pancakes. There were the perfect consistency and very tasty. The perogies were cold but edible .. the sandwhich were delicious and the beer was flowing. Our waiter was very helpful but very busy .. we waited for refills and items but I just think they were just understaffed.. a problem you see too often now. Will return and enjoy trying more German treats!
Super tasty and delicious food. Big portions. Great and patient service. Awesome atmosphere. Very fun place and felt as if we were transported overseas. Deli, candy, and gifts, too. Huge selection of beer. Definitely not expecting the cool ambiance inside by the looks of the outside. Big place inside with a lot of seating. Seating outside too, but inside is way cooler 😎 literally and figuratively! We will return! Parking was sparse. It's in a strip mall so you have to compete with other businesses to park.
It's been at least 4 years since my last visit to Mr. Dunderbak's & everything was just as good as I remember. From the knowledgeable server, able to make excellent drink recommendations to the delicious food & large portion sizes.
Very glad to see Mr. Dunderbak's is still here & I definitely will not be waiting another 4 years to visit again.
Such a unique gem. German themed interior everywhere you forget you’re in Tampa.
Red cabbage Reuben and potato pancakes were amazing. Mushroom schnitzel, cucumber salad, apple sauce, and pretzel roll also great

Guten Tag Y'all!
Started our day with a late morning walk through Lettuce Lake Park on the boardwalk. Had to get a small Volksmarch in before the temperatures reached boiling point.
We were referred here by a co-worker, and I am seriously happy we followed up on it.
I was stationed in Germany from 1984-1987 with the US Air Force at a place called Borfink (no longer in service). Lived in Nuebrucke and Birkenfeld.
So obviously, I spent a lot of time eating true German cuisine over the 3 year period.
We also moved here from Columbus, Ohio 5 years ago which has a very large German population that includes an Oktoberfest that is second to none in the US; and also has several German eateries that are simply amazing.
So, it is interesting that we have found an abundance of German themed restaurants down here in Florida; and all have been remarkably good.
Today was no exception. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Yes, it is cramped and not easy to navigate the on site market, but that means a packed house, right?
Food. I had to have Saurbraten. I think a good one is an indicator of the restaurants German quality. Mine was simply Wunderbar! Probably one of the best since I was in Germany.
Others in our group had Jagerschnitzle, Nuremberg Sausage Plate, and a Reuben.
We did have a Pretzel and fried mushroom as as a starter. Both good. Also had Black Forest Cake and Apple Struedel for dessert. Amazingly good.
A couple house brewed Maibocks were also consumed. Very good and true to the style with that sweet sticky mouthfeel and slightly bitter pop before relaxing into a long dry finish.
Prices were fair for the times we are in. Bartender was our server and he was excellent.
We sat in the bar and watch a little Fussball while dining and it was nice and relaxing. Out in the main room it was a bit more noisy, but that is to be expected.
As far as getting a "true" German gasthaus experience or feeling like a moment reflecting on the visits to Muchen...this does fall a hair short as most of the workers appeared to be students from nearby USF. That is to say, that there were no German accents from the staff. There's a place across the bay that has that part nailed with 2 sisters from Germany.
The true question of the day...will we come back? Ja!
Sind sie haben eine guten tag!!!! Tchuss!!!

This place was a pretty cool experience but it's not definitely not for everyone. The atmosphere is cool but it's also really cramped inside and it's super loud. The seating situation is also unique and a pretty mixed bag depending on the size of your party. Larger parties get bench seating that don't have any type of back support. It is definitely not desirable and can wear on you if you have any kind of back issues.
The food is really good and the portions are ridiculously huge you will not leave hungry. The deli and the little German specialties market are also really cool. I was stoked to find they actually have a fair amount of non alcoholic beers as well, because I have recently given up alcohol but still love beer and wanted one with my meal. Most places have no non alcoholic beer offerings. I definitely suggest you buy some German candies before you go.
Again this place is awesome but it feels crowded, the seating isn't
very comfortable, and It does get really loud. So you have been warned about that. Everything else though Is awesome. So grab Togo food if cramped and loud turn you off.
The Atmosphere was like being back in Nuremberg. Will, our waiter was great and recommended the food we needed to try. So many different beers,wine,and German foods!
Absolutely amazing atmosphere and food. Ordered the JägerSchnitzel and it was extremely tender and juicy. All of the food was extremely flavorful and I could not get enough of the potato pancakes! Service was a bit slow but it was a bit busy and they seemed understaffed which is not their fault. I cannot recommend this place enough! Amazing vegetarian options too!
We had the best experience here! The food, service, drinks, shopping, atmosphere and company from the owner was outstanding! So much fun and she made my whole day, not just my night after a very long work day. Thank you so very much. I so enjoyed meeting you, chatting and having you help me when I can’t read German(: The candy samples were delicious too! Thank you❤️
