Mader's Restaurant

Tara Konya★★★★

We wanted to love this place because Bavarian food is one of our favorites, but overall it felt more touristy than authentic. It’s also incredibly overpriced. While, the portions are huge, $40 per plate is a bit stiff for comfort food. Also, there’s really no need to order an appetizer, the meal is plenty. My husband went with the pork shank, and I ordered the Rhine Sampler. The spaetzle was good, and while the goulash had nice flavor, a few pieces were tough. The schnitzel was smaller than expected, especially with the $9 veal upcharge, and not quite as thin and crispy as we prefer. The side

We visited this place during our trip from Southern California, and it is definitely a cool place to check out at least once if you’re in Milwaukee. The restaurant has so much history, and there are photos throughout the restaurant of famous people who have visited over the years, including actors, celebrities, and presidents. The decor, artifacts, and overall atmosphere almost make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, with a medieval-style vibe that makes the experience unique. Our server was really nice, and the food came out quickly. We ordered the German sampler and the pork shank,

First time visiting from out of state and we had the best experience! Food was outstanding and we suggest ordering the Tour of Germany, if you would like to try a little of everything this is it! The Pork Shank was so tender, fell right off the bone and we upgraded to the Veal Schnitzel , Delicious! What made our night was our server Daniel , he was so helpful with answering all our questions and very knowledgeable about the menu and we enjoyed all his stories he told us of the restaurant and all the famous people who have walked through the doors, showed us pictures too! We will come back jus

I was acknowledged and seated quickly. The atmosphere was both relaxed and "old world", which I really appreciated. I've had a ton of German food, both in the US and in Germany and prefer southern German to northern German cooking. Most of what I had (German sampler plate) had a Southern German twist and it was all really good. I would really recommend this place to others and I'm looking forward to a return visit if work brings me back to Milwaukee.
