Who knew you could order lunch at Dunderbacks?! We’ve been here many times for dinner and it’s always great. They serve authentic German food and a huge beer list. We went for lunch on a Thursday and they were busy but not crowded. Food, beer, and service were all great as usual. Check out the back of the menu sometime, you’ll thank me. In addition to their regular menu they offer about a dozen special sandwiches or you can make your own from the deli. Highly recommend stopping for lunch

Authentic German beer house! Sit at the bar and you can find at least 33 beers on tap. I ordered the Yeager schnitzel mushroom gravy, warm German potato salad and a rattler which is a fruit beer. Lucky for me I came early enough to get the first tap on the keg! My husband always goes for a light wheat beer. The accordion player has been there for 20 years, he is delightful. I have a European background so I’m excited to go there often. They have cookies, cakes and candies for my childhood as well as many beers from my youth. The little ladybugs pictured are made of marzipan. I have several favorites and each time I do bring them home. Service is always great. Don’t forget to visit the beer room where you can look through all the authentic beers in bottles for purchase. Usually we sit inside, but there is outdoor seating as well.

OMG! I haven’t visited since they were in the University Mall. Why? I have no clue but we will be back way more frequent.

Visited on a Sat and it was FANTASTIC! Decor is wonderful, service was impeccable & the food was AMAZING!

After we ate, we did some shopping for some sweets. They have so much to choose from!

Beer cheese soup, pierogies & the New Yorker were amazing. The food was even better than I remember.

Jared was in our server who was fantastic.

Parking can be tight so plan ahead. We parked right in front with no issue during our visit.

I visited for lunch again. This popular spot near the USF Tampa campus has a pretty good selection of beers, especially Europe and German ones. I had the JÄGERSCHNITZEL  with Hunter gravy and sauerkraut and SPÄTZLE as sides. The service was quick and efficient. The drinks came out right away and the food wasn't a long wait either. The food is good and dependable. I will be visiting again soon.

Dunderbak’s has been a local staple for years and there are reasons for that:

- Beer. But not just beer— beer in giant glass steins.
- Some of the best German/Austrian dinner offerings. You can get seven variations of schnitzel here, and that’s not even a quarter of their menu. There’s so much to choose from.
- The vibes here are nostalgic and welcoming. Yes, the interior is cheesy to some. But I happen to love cheese, so pile it on. To me, the German decor and density in the room makes this feel like a place where you can always find a friend or have quality time with the ones you came with.
- And so you don’t leave empty handed, they have all sorts of imported candies, cookies, and culinary accoutrements available for purchase.

Something I’d like to note here, because I see it as a common complaint: This place gets very busy— even parking, so keep that in mind. And when it gets busy you may have to wait for your server. I suggest that this is the sort of place you’ll want to come to when you have plenty of time to sit and enjoy your meal & beverages.

Also, if you are not a social person, this place will not be for you. The open seating and long tables are inherently designed to encourage interaction. It’s abuzz with joviality, music, and casual banter. I personally love the atmosphere but I know this is not the case for everyone.

That being said, please come and have a great time, be patient with your servers, and enjoy the live music. It’s like Oktoberfest every day!
