Mr. Dunderbak’s is more than just a restaurant it’s a time capsule of authentic German heritage and flavor. From the first bite to the last sip, every dish carries the same old-world quality and attention to detail that made their original University Square Mall location such a Tampa landmark. The sausages, the sauerkraut, the fresh-baked pretzels, and that unmistakable aroma of imported beer and grilled goodness instantly brought me back to my childhood.
The staff are friendly, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere feels like stepping into a cozy Bavarian tavern. It’s rare to find a place that stays true to its roots while still evolving with the times. Mr. Dunderbak’s continues to do just that serving up memories as rich as the flavors on every plate.
If you grew up in Tampa and remember the old location, you owe it to yourself to relive that experience again. A truly authentic gem that stands the test of time.

This is another restaurant in our neighborhood that we frequent, its German cuisine and beer. Living in Germany for 8 years and having a German mom we are always looking for German places to eat. Dunderbak’s has a beer haus feel and decor, they have all kinds of things to see and buy there. You can buy beer, souvenirs, cookies, food products and this time of the year Christmas cookies and candy. Our daughter was visiting so we took her for dinner. We started with a big pretzel and my wife had a small Oktoberfest beer. For our meals we had a jaeger schnitzel and a sour cream schnitzel both with spatzle, one with pomme fritz and the other with German potato salad. The staff was nice and professional and it felt like we were in Germany. Since their portions are huge we shared two entrees and didn’t finish them. If you like German food and beer we recommend Dunderbaks!

This place is incredible! We started off with the cheese board well worth it, the chive sour cream spread to the ginger mango white stilton amazing five different cheeses. We follow the lineup with Spätzle and a Leberkäse sandwich with an add on of Nuremberg sausage. The mustards oh my god the jalapeño, cranberry and the house mustard a must try. All washed down with a few different styles of beers from the bar. Everything came out in great timing and was such enjoyable.

Food is always good and the atmosphere is amazing. Feels like you’re really in Germany. They have a deli case and offer a variety of chocolates and gummies plus various groceries like seasonings and pudding mixes. You can buy bottles of wine and beer too. They even had trvia night while we were eating. It was so much fun.

There is celebrated history for my family aligning with German culture as my oldest daughter was born in Bavarian Germany. So naturally, we try our best to find the local German cuisine and festivities everywhere that we travel and live. Luckily for us, we discovered Mr. Dunderbak’s, which wasn’t incredibly too far from Lutz.
We came mid-afternoon on a Sunday and the parking lot was full – fortunately, we were able to find some spots without waiting too long. As it was the end of September, Mr. Dunderbak’s also hosted some Oktoberfest observations and festivities. This meant a bit of a wait for our family of four to be seated inside, but it was worth it!
As you walk up to the restaurant, you are greeted with the unique Bavarian-esque calligraphy of its name in bold, golden hue. There was still outdoor seating available when we went in the form of tables and benches that situated in the parking spaces in front of the venue. Approaching the entrance, you will encounter a set of oaken doors that set the stage for your welcome. The doors then open up to a short corridor that which is adorned with wall hangings and lined with cases of beer along its walls, while the incandescent lighting contribute to the tone and ambiance of the restaurant before opening up to the immersive dining space.
Immediately, we were reminded of our time spent living in Germany, as well as our travels to Austria. The noise-level was definitely suited for the space and environment that you find at a Biergarten. While the lighting was somewhat dim, the atmosphere was lively and vibrant which didn’t rely on the light musical faire playing in the backdrop. There was a playful arrangement of seating areas – from biergarten benches and tables to formal tables with even a dining table under a gazebo centered in the dining space – making Mr. Dunderbak’s even more festive. Flanking either side of the main dining space were two smaller rooms, with a full bar.
What makes Mr. Dunderbak’s even more unique is the mini-store that lines around the main dining space, along with a fully operational deli, offering an assortment of German meats/sausages and groceries (comparable to the Cracker Barrel concept, but better and without the negative media).
As for the food, we definitely were able to satisfy our German-cuisine cravings. The menu was rather robust offering a variety of schnitzels and wursts (yes, they have currywurst), while offering a unique American flare with their other menu items. While I did not get any beer to accompany my meal, my wife ordered a Radler – and a grapefruit one at that – which arguably made her day. The jagerschnitzel, sauerkraut, and potato salad were solid, while the nurnberger (wursts) and spatzle were a hit with my kids.
Overall, we had a great experience at Mr. Dunderbak’s and will definitely be back again. This is a great place to go with groups and to simply enjoy company! Prost!

Mr. Dunderbak’s is a hidden gem that transports you straight to a cozy German beer hall the moment you walk in. From the warm wood-paneled interior to the long communal tables and shelves stocked with European goodies, the atmosphere is both authentic and inviting.
The food? Outstanding. I had the Jägerschnitzel and it was cooked to perfection—crispy, flavorful, and generously portioned. Their selection of craft and imported beers is unmatched, with over 400 bottles and drafts to choose from. If you’re a beer lover, this place is paradise.
Service was friendly and relaxed, and the staff seemed genuinely passionate about the menu and the experience. Bonus points for the live music nights and the adjacent market where you can grab German snacks and ingredients to take home.
Whether you’re craving schnitzel, sausage, or just a great pint in a lively setting, Mr. Dunderbak’s delivers. I’ll definitely be back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars… and honestly, I’d give it more if I could
If we’re anywhere near Tampa, stopping at Mr. Dunderbak’s Restaurant and Brewery on Bruce B. Downs is a must. It’s not even a question—it’s a tradition.
James, Melea, Kelly (rookie visit), and I had another absolutely incredible dinner, and this place just hits every time (missing Jon, Rebecca, Lila and Corn). The sour cream schnitzel? Unreal. Crispy, flavorful, comfort food at its finest. The pierogies are the kind that make you slow down and actually enjoy every bite. And the pretzel… I mean COME ON — it’s AMAZING. Warm, soft, perfectly baked, and impossible not to fight over.
And let’s talk about the beer
Because wow. A fantastic selection, brewed right, and the perfect complement to everything on the table.
Great food. Great beer. Great memories. This is one of those places that never lets you down and always leaves you saying, “Yep… that was worth it.”
If you haven’t been—go.
If you have been—you already know.
