This was our first visit to Mader's. We were excited, as my husband is German & our children speak German. Mader's is suppose to be the #1 German resteraunt in the USA. The building was lovely. We did not get to to look around the gift shop as they closes very early. I was disappointed. The first table we were... more

Been going to Maders for over 20 years. Went there again this week and it was as good as ever. I always get Sauerbraten, and I have not had better anywhere I have been.

We were staying at a hotel and found that there were several restaurants and bars nearby so we took a walk and would decide on a place when we got there. It was an extremely cold evening and a few blocks walk was taking... more

I love the food. I love the decor. I love the history. A must eat place if you're visiting Milwaukee. more
