Dunderbak's Market Cafe

Dunderbak's Market Cafe, tucked into the lower level of Lehigh Valley Mall next to Macy's, has been a Whitehall Township staple since November 11, 1977. The original 65‑seat eatery now boasts 145 seats, including a dedicated Oktoberfest Bar where patrons can enjoy German classics like schnitzel, bratwurst, and the famed "Ultimate Pierogies" alongside a rotating roster of twelve draft beers—Hofbräu HB, Paulaner, Spaten, Weihenstephaner, and even local Yuengling. The menu, expanded to five food pages, highlights hearty sauerbraten, pretzel‑softened potato salad, and seasonal specialties such as sauerkraut‑topped pork chops. Open Monday‑Friday 11 am‑8 pm and Saturday 11 am‑8 pm, the café serves a Sunday brunch from noon to 6 pm. Prices sit in the moderate range, making it a family‑friendly spot for both locals and mall shoppers. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables with vintage German beer signage, creating a warm, communal atmosphere reminiscent of a Bavarian tavern. Dunderbak’s also runs a Royalty Rewards program, offering coupons and discounts to repeat guests. With over 100 bottled beers, a non‑smoking policy since 1992, and a 2025 Food Safety Award, the café delivers a reliable, authentic German experience right in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.
