A classic German dining experience. The pork shoulder, or schweinhaxe, was for tender, Melt in your mouth, delicious. As good as I remember in Germany. I was disappointed that there were no dumplings with gravy but hopefully they will return. The boiled red potatoes were delicious with the pan juices.
The beef& barley soup was rich, hearty, but not heavy. I wish I could get the recipe it was that good.
Strawberry Schaumburg torte was light and sweet, just like my grandfather used to make them for me. Justin, our server, was truly outstanding. He made celebrating 40 years of friendship a memorable experience. Complimentary valet parking is included, and Rob has a great personality and various QR codes to tip if you don’t carry cash.
Great establishment. Get there soon.

JUST GO. Incredibly good food, staff, and setting.
I got the pork shank shown, it was cooked perfectly and the meat was exceptionally tender, falling off the bone. Every bite of every component was packed with complementing flavor. I also had two beers, two of the best beers I’ve ever tried- incredible as I drink way too much and seek out new things constantly.
Allison was the *PERFECT* waitress! Immediately asking if I wanted to start with a beer, asking what my preference was, and recommending something I would have been pleased to discover after a month of searching. The dessert (shown) was also incredible, both hot and cold with soft bread and ice cream. Then of course there’s the restaurant itself! You must see it, loaded with amazing decor and stained glass.
I cannot recommend a place more highly, a real must-try.

It was absolutely amzing. We went for our anniversary. The scenery was extremely detailed from medieval times with all authenic decor. The food was top of the line and every bite was a delicious as the one before. The service was extremely nice, very attentive as well as informative about the dishes and history of the place. Was a very rememberable experience.

Excellent food with large portions. The menu said the Tour of Germany platter can feed two but it is large enough for four. My only disappointment was the liver dumpling soup was not on the menu. The potato soup I had was terrific. Our waitress Reanna was great! Do make reservations if you go after 4pm.

For as long as I’ve been in Milwaukee, I figured it was about time I ate at Mader’s. It’s a Milwaukee staple, and it’s been there since 1902. I do have family who say I was there as a kid, but I was probably too young to remember.
Anyway, my wife and I ordered the Tour of Germany. They say it’s enough for two—I think it’s probably enough for two Green Bay Packers offensive linemen. It could have easily fed four of us. Thankfully, it was fantastic, and we ended up taking a lot home in boxes.
Our server was super nice. The atmosphere is traditional German, with plenty of holiday décor, which was a nice touch. It has a great historical vibe, and the food is excellent. No surprise they’ve been around as long as they have. Danke schön.

Very good foods, good services, and the most item i like was their Black Forest cake. The amount of liquor is perfect, the texture is smooth, sweet level is just right.
The meat from Tour of Germany is very tender and juicy, the amount can feed 3-4 people, especially if you do sharing.

I went to Mader’s with some friends from out of town to show them part of the Milwaukee culture. There were 6 of us at dinner. We were seated promptly, very well taken care of by the staff, and the food was incredible.
The only item I would add that would make Mader’s even better is 1 to 2 more vegetarian dishes. I know its not the norm of German food; it would make it a little easier for those with different diets to have more than one option to choose from.
Definitely will be back.

We had an amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. Despite the city event and the place being fully booked, the service was fast, friendly, and on point. Everything was served quickly and with a smile. I would definitely come back – highly recommended!

We all had a great time at Maders! BIG BEERS, BIG PRETZELS! Service was nice and friendly, decor is old school German themed. Cool hallway of old movie stars autographed pictures on the way to the restrooms. Nice booths, plenty of room for large events, if needed.

If you’re craving a taste of Germany without booking a flight, Mader’s delivers the full experience right in downtown Milwaukee. From the moment you walk in, the medieval decor — suits of armor, stained glass, and antique wood carvings — sets the tone for a meal that’s anything but ordinary.
The menu is a celebration of classic German fare: buttery pretzels, crisp fried fish, and schnitzels that could double as comfort food therapy. The beer selection is robust, with Spaten Lager served in glass boots that practically beg for a toast. Whether you’re diving into oxtail soup or the Bavarian platter, portions are generous and flavors are bold.
It’s a great spot to hang out, indulge, and let the atmosphere transport you.
