Totally lived up to expectations! Great atmosphere. Food is top notch. Duck Liver Dumpling soup is a must. The Weiner Schnitzel was perfect. I ordered it Holstien Style (eggs, capers, anchovies) Strange as that combination sounds, it works and tasted amazing. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More
Iconic Mader’s serves traditional German food in a huge space including a white table cloth dining room & adjacent bar that add up to a great atmosphere. I came for lunch and my server Dan was the man. He brought my 1/2 liter beer out quickly and took me through the menu. I grabbed some Potato Pancakes & Apple Sauce to start. They were crisp and flavorful and the apple were a great contrast. I ordered the lunch portion Wiener Schnitzel (veal) with Spaetzle, Sauerkraut and a rich Mushroom Jaeger sauce. A blast of lemon brightened things up and the food came out piping hot. The Apple Streudel was a risky call at lunch since I had places to be in the afternoon. It was delicious but I could have used a nap. As au mentioned service was super friendly, helpful and fast. There is a parking lot to the side. If you need authentic German food, head to Mader’s.
Very warm & welcoming atmosphere. Went for a very special wedding anniversary. Everything requested was honored (Note: made sure to have a 2nd option in the event that primary option was unavailable). Our waitress was top notch & the food (including desserts (not pictured)) melted in our mouths. Huge shoutout to Kristen Mader for continuing her family's legacy into its 4th generation (now into its 122nd year) & continuing to maintain/preserve such a unique piece of German heritage & culture for well over a century.
