Attention
hungry shoppers: Just beyond Macy’s perfume counter
in the Lehigh Valley Mall awaits the smell of
…sauerkraut?
For the most part, Allentown seems to have forgotten
its rich German heritage where dining is concerned.
Dunderbak’s is one of the very few exceptions. It’s
often overlooked since it’s one of many options at
the mall, and the dining area itself is hidden behind
a gift shop (where you can choose between ten
different kinds of sauerkraut) and quick-service
counter (great for a sausage on the go). Your first
impression once you wander back: Beer. It’s
responsible for most of the interior decorating—it
lines the walls on shelves and in coolers—and for
filling out a very lengthy drink list. (Just try to
name their more than 200 varieties.) Whether you’re
drinking or not, try the food for a real taste
of
Deutschland.
Try the griebenschmalz or dogs with wurst, or their
signature grilled reuben. The service is quick but
don’t look to the servers for much additional
assistance. While it isn’t stellar, Dunderbak’s is a
great reason to skip the food court during your next
trip to the mall. (Open during mall
hours.)
