I’d never really tried German food before. I came into this thinking meats and potatoes and low expectations. I was delightfully surprised. The flavors were really good! I didn’t realize I could enjoy ham, sauerkraut, and mustard that much..but I did! All three is us...thoroughly enjoyed our experience and I can honestly say I have cravings for the food!!More

Mader's is a beautiful restaurant with a rich history, and I was hoping that the food would have lived up to the atmosphere. I lived in Germany for three years and fell in love with Wiener Schnitzel, so I was immediately inclined to order it...at Mader's. I ordered it in the Jäger style and was immediately disappointed by the taste. The breading was soggy and the Jäger sauce barely covered any of the schnitzel (not a generous portion). The Spätzle was missing the "it" factor that is common in authentic German Spätzle. I was hoping for an immersive German experience at Mader's, but was left disappointed by food that did not taste German at all.More

The restaurant has very authentic German food and atmosphere. Great food and drink choices! The only downside is I think the food is slightly over priced but that wont stop me from visiting again.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Mader's in late August and we were so very pleased with everything. Because of Covid-19 and our party size, they allowed us to take over the main dining room which was totally awesome. We had a...German buffet including all of our favorite Mader's dishes and the food was fabulous. The service was top notch! Our friends and family are still raving about how phenomenal the reception was. Thanks to everyone on the Mader's staff for making our wedding day enjoyable and very memorable.More

My husband kept telling me about this restaurant and hoped I would like it. I love it! We ordered the Rubin fried egg roll appetizer (and could have stopped there), then the sampler dinner for two. Two helpings of sauerbraten, two schnitzels, two slices special...smoked ham, and in the center a pork shank, cooked slow with great spices. Also sauerkraut, red cabbage, German potato salad, and spaetzli. All of it was wonderful, each with its own unique taste. You would think we would pass on dessert, but no. We took the apple strudel to go. Actually, we took quite a bit of the dinner to go and enjoyed it in our hotel for several days. Don't visit Milwaukee without eating here!More

The restaurant has some very authentic items and some newer, interesting options. Everything is presented well and tasted good. Chef was very nice also and came out to chat.

Had a party of 25 and everything from the service to the food was outstanding. A huge thank you to Amanda and I forgot the gentleman's name (sorry) for superb service From the opening drinks, appetizers, main courses through dessert; simply outstanding. Food was timely...and delicious. No idea how they did it. Mader's is a must eat when in Milwaukee.More
