I love this little corner! Autumn, the waiter, was so patient and accommodating to me. I get something new each time I come because of how diverse and hearty the menu is. So much care has been given to the setup of trinkets and flags lining the walls that it reflects the over 40 years of service and love this place has. It’s warm and comfortable, and the food adds to the coziness. There’s a lot of delicious meat on the menu, but they have many vegetarian and gluten sensitive options clearly marked. If you’re looking to get away from the overstimulation from shopping, stop by here. Don’t forget dessert!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3.5–4 Star Experience at Dunderbak’s Market Café
After exploring the Bethlehem Christmas Market, my wife and I were craving some German comfort food, so we decided to stop in at Dunderbak’s Market Café. It’s a unique little spot tucked inside a shopping mall—not a standalone restaurant—but still has a neat kind of vibe once you step inside.
The staff was super friendly, and the menu was much broader than expected. While it’s described as German-American cuisine, you’ll find everything from kielbasa and pierogies to quesadillas and even a Bavarian Angus beef burger. Definitely a blended menu with something for everyone.
My wife enjoyed all of her food, and mine was a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle.
• The Jägerschnitzel itself was decent—ok flavor, just on the smaller side.
• The Spätzle, unfortunately, missed the mark. It lacked flavor and was extremely greasy, to the point where there was a noticeable puddle of oil on the plate after scraping it aside was a little off-putting.
That said, considering this is a mall restaurant and not a traditional Gasthaus like the ones I enjoyed during my five years living in Germany, my expectations weren’t sky-high. The overall dish was a 50/50 experience, but not bad enough to keep me from returning.
Would I come back? Sure.
There are plenty of other menu items that looked great, and I’d definitely give the place another try. If you’re in the area, want a friendly atmosphere, and are looking for a quick bite with some German-inspired options, this is a decent stop—and certainly better than several other spots nearby.

Dunderbak’s Market Café is easily the best restaurant in the Lehigh Valley Mall. The food tastes fresh and authentic, and the servers are genuinely attentive, going out of their way to make us feel at home. You can truly tell there’s love in both the food and the people who work there. They went above and beyond to help us navigate the menu for gluten-free options, which was such a stress reliever. My wife had the goulash and I had the Munich Wurst & Pasta, both were absolutely delicious.

I’ve been eating at Dunderbak’s since my parents moved to PA in 1995. When I moved away 19 years ago, I always make it a point to stop and walk the Lehigh Valley Mall and grab a kraut dog. There is nothing like it. If you stop to shop at the Lehigh Valley Mall, a hot dog at Dunderbak’s is a must.

Both the service and the food were amazing. I got the Jager Schnitzel and it was fried to perfection, and their gravy is delicious. Damn near lick-the-plate worthy. Our server was also very friendly and attentive, couldn’t have asked for more.

The food is great, the selection is wonderful, the service is sub par. I have visited 2x and both times have been sat at a booth which is fine. The issues become apparent when the food order is placed. Both times, waittress staff forgot parts of the order, or just took far too long to get the food to us. I’m not sure if that is something that happens consistently overall here or if it was just something I experienced. However after all this, the food was delicious and I would still return. The staff who get you seated are always a pleasure to deal with. It’s just the waitress staff. The first waitress acknowledged the issue and even gave us something for free, the second one basically just forgot us in general.

Just a quick update 12/22/23: We’ve been here together like five times and every server we’ve had has been a total delight. Whoever trains these people should train every other restaurant in the valley because they do one heck of a job!!!
This place is just about everything a fine dining experience should be.
-Our server Jennifer V did a fantastic job. She checked on us more than once to make sure we were okay and didn’t need anything.
-The food was high quality. It didn’t taste like it cost $150/dish but it was right-off-the-grill hot and plenty flavorful.
-The atmosphere is super cute, old-fashioned, and unique.
-They didn’t play annoying pop music or anything in the background lol.
-Not to mention the prices are pretty reasonable especially for 2023. For example a lot of other restaurants nowadays are well, well over $10 for appetizers.
I’ll include examples in the pictures, as well as the menu w/prices.

So we were in today for lunch and while we were eating mice were running through the booths. I brought it to the waitress’s attention who seemed not bothered by the situation finally another waitress came and said that they come in through the mall, but no one seemed to be bothered by the fact that mice were running through the restaurant. We have come in here for years, and I was completely shocked, not only by the situation, but the response.
We got up and left we were willing to pay for our appetizer , however they covered it .
It’s not only gross but dangerous . All I was thinking about what’s happening in the kitchen. Are mice running all over the food ? We just couldn’t stay after that . Very unfortunate .
