Mr Dunderbak’s

Food was good, but nothing spectacular. The schnitzel was great. Very tender. Everything was fried so it got to be heavy. Garlic mushroom and potatoes pancake as well. The sandwiches looked good. But this is a good option when in the mall as not a lot of other unique options there.

First time there was good overall! This place looked so small from the outside but stretched back pretty far! It was also packed, we got the last table. The tables were way too small and close together. We ended up putting our condiments on the floor since the tables were THAT SMALL. I ordered the bacon cheddar hot dog. This was amazing. Cooked great and had good cheese on it!(wasn’t sure if it would be that fake yellow stuff or real cheese) my side was potato salad and that was also great. Service was a little slow as far as us having to ask for refills. I will be back but maybe when there’s room to sit more comfortable.

We were at the mall and had no idea what this place even was. We poked our heads in and surprise, surprise! It’s a great little sandwich shop and bar hidden away in the corner! It’s so quaint and charming that we immediately decided to check it out.
Mr. Dunderbak’s is a lot of fun to discover – which is how I think most people find out about it, especially if they’re not originally from the area. You’re walking around the mall and you poke your head in and it’s this giant, very long bar with terrific cheeses and meats for sale at the deli counter as well as a restaurant with a very excellent sandwich menu. I’ve gone about five or six times with my husband, I try something new every time, and I’m never disappointed. The portion sizes are just perfect; not so big that you can’t finish them but big enough to be satisfying. Good pickles and great beers, too.
There’s also a lot of German grocery food here, which is fun too. It’s a terrific little place and I really have a good time and a great sandwich whenever we go. In fact, I’ve got a craving for a Blue Max right now!
For me, it’s the only reason to go to the Volusia Mall.

It’s a whole-​in-​the-​wall kind of place that you stumble on one night and think to yourself ”yeah. why not?” It looks fun, a nice place to relax and grab a sandwich and a beer, and look at some interesting stuff they have on display.
The food was meh; bland, small portions. I paid $ 12 for 2 small sausage links and a couple frozen potato pancakes (they came out hot but you can tell they’re not made fresh). It was disappointing really. 3 stars for food.
The staff was iffy. The girl we had was nice but the guy that was working the other table by us was nasty. There’s a bunch of tables in the back by the bar and a few that are at the front of the restaurant separated from everything else and this is where we sat (the place was full, it was trivia night) Now the reason for the lonely 2 stars is simple, this guy lost us as repeat customers. Ill explain.
This place is a mall which is obviously surrounded by retail stores and chains… and they decided it was a good idea to set up shop here for some reason… a new is opening in the mall, right across from this place… H&M… which drives in tons of people of all ages and would make great business for this mom & pop restaurant right??? Well this stupid server thought it better of himself to cry & whine and curse up a storm about the ”‘f-​ing hipsters that he’s going to have to wait on soon” and how he ”hates those f-​ing prissy b*#ches so much.” blah blah blah blah .on & on & on about this nonsense. Meanwhile … the table next to this has 2 young parents and a small boy who are horrified by the language their son is learning. It’s safe to say the restaurant lost all 5 of us as guests, not to mention all the people we know who we’ll warn off from this non-​family-​friendly arrogant establishment. The fact that the server was going off like this to 2 guests is beyond me. They all seemed to agree though, that hipsters and rich b*&ches are a bad thing… apparently bringing in money is a bad thing… IDK

Their Reuben is the best that I’ve had in the Daytona area hands down! Potato pancakes are crispy and flavorful. Adorable atmosphere with hundreds of bottled beers to try! You can even buy a basket and fill with tons of international goodies. This place is fabulous!

A Teutonic oasis in an well aged mall. Good German deli equipped with numerous beers. Great place to hunker down while one’s significant other shops in the mall and drink beer. Rubens are very good accompanied by their mini potato pancakes are excellent. Been the same since the early eighties went I went here with my dad as mom shopped at Burdines. Also has a fully stocked deli case where you can stock up on land jäger and various other deli delights.

I found the best beer here! I didn’t even know Game of Thrones beer was still available to purchase. I wish we could have stayed for lunch.

Mr. D is a cute little German deli/​restaurant. It’s perfect for stopping in to grab a bite if you’ve been shopping in the mall, or if you just want to indulge in delicious German food! Personally, I always order the wiener schnitzel; it is to die for!

I grew up with a Mr. D’s in the Regency Square Mall in Jacksonville. I was pleasantly surprised to find one in Volusia County Mall when we first visited here more than 20 years ago and now that I live here it’s great to have a place to purchase specialty beers. They have some very limited brews and hard to find bottles in stock. For example, Goose Island Bourbon County usually has folks lined up when released and most places sell out in a day. Well, they had few bottles just sitting on the bar on display. They also have at least three bottles of Utopia on the shelf. Wow! I’ve never seen Utopia in person and they have three vintages for sale.
Their food is good too. I usually get the New Yorker and then pick up a few treats from the deli counter before leaving.

I work near the Volusia Mall and was pumped to find this place. A German style deli with an amazing craft beer selection! If you’re looking for a great craft beer selection pop into this little place. Not sure if you can get your beer to go to walk around the mall. Will have to ask next time.

Awesome restaurant I love coming here everytime I come to Florida the food is great services excellent

Great little place to stop in and eat while in the mall shopping. They have a great selection of sandwiches and are all very good! You can purchase food items to take home as well as meats and cheeses. The staff are all very friendly!

It must have been about, jeez, 14 years ago that I was first taken to Dunderbaks. Ever since then, if there is a mall trip planned, there are ALWAYS beers at Dunderbaks after.
I never thought one could find something so fantastic in the Daytona Mall (or any mall I guess) but this place is the real deal. One of the first places I’d found potato pancakes on the menu (delish) and the beer selection is fantastic.
Solid Reuben too… it’s been awhile since I’ve been back, but it’s comforting to now this place is still here and doing well.

Stumbled upon this place one rainy afternoon when stuck in the mall. Great food, fantastic beer, awesome cheese and meat selection… In a mall! Definitely a «hidden gem». I recommend this place highly for those afternoons when you are rained out of beach activities and want delicious food and craft beer.

One of my favorite restaurant/​bars in Daytona. They never disappoint. They have a great selection of beer and wines that are usually hard to find. They have a great delicatessen menu. I’m a big fan of the Cajun Dutchman and their New Yorker. But everything else I’ve had there has been very good. Their mini potato pancakes are awesome as a starter or a side.
The staff is always pleasant and informative with their extensive beverage selections.

This place is a Hidden Gem. Mr Dunderbaks sits unassuming nestled between an as seen on TV store and Dillards. They offer over 250 different beers and a wide assortment of german and american cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and whimsical. You can eat drink and browse all of the knickknacks and hot sauces they have. And pick up an awesome beer stein or wine glass.

Mr. Dunderbak’s is an awesome German deli, with a wide variety of sandwiches and other specialty items. Do NOT forget to order both the Foot Of Onion Rings and the German Potato Salad! If you like beer, they have what appears to be hundreds of varieties from all over the world. Then there is the deli side with cheeses and various prepared foods. And baskets… both empty and prepared with various collections of yummy tears for gift giving! AWESOME STUFF!

Great atmosphere however thin walls to cooks audible bs of the day. Had deli plate which crackers and bread was tasted and interesting but the thin salami and American and Swiss cheeses also thin sliced I can make at home from publix deli! The hot cider was delicious and the Bavarian cream puff was quite alright. I will go again and hopefully get some kind a really great sandwich or some Great veal and then adde a bunch of stars which I was hoping to do but with that deli sampler plate Im sorry three stars is the very top-​of-​the-​line
I can give. Let’s hope next visit rocks?

A great, unassuming bar/​restaurant in a mall. I never would’ve guessed this place existed and was good. I didn’t try the beers but my companions did and enjoyed them. The sauerkraut was served hot and was delicious with my bratwurst.
For dessert I actually had the cheesecake, which was not German but was still very yummy. Friendly waitstaff.
While you enjoy your beer, you can shop for sausage and spatzle. :)

Mr. Dunderbak’s is one of my favourite lunch places, and a unique little place to boot. It is a lovely haven in our bland local mall. As a matter of fact, I think the only reason I have been to the Volusia mall in years is to walk through the Sears entrance to get to Mr. Dunderbak’s, because at that point it’s only about a 5 second walk to the location and you can bypass all the distasteful mall nonsense.
All of their sausages are wonderful, and their potato pancakes are quite nice (though I suspect they changed the recipe or the supplier because they seem to be less onion-​y now). My youngest sister swears their mozzarella sticks cannot be beat, and my constant dining companions loves all of their sandwiches — the Das French Connection (ham, brie, croissant) being his absolute favourite.
They have all sorts of excellent beers and the servers/​proprietors are very knowledgeable if you have any questions. Which we did, at our latest visit. On the beer menu, they offer something called an «infusion», which aroused our curiosity. The explained it was something they added to their menu a year or so ago and was popular at the time due to the novelty but has since died down to nothing and they will probably be removing it from their offerings. There are certain combinations of flavorings — chili, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, etc. — that they will infuse into your choice of beers to enhance the flavoring, add new dimensions and nuances and so forth.
My companion ordered a Guiness + a chocolate infusion which he claimed was rather delicious. Myself, I had a diet soda. Which brings me to the main reason this is one of my preferred area restaurants…
THEY HAVE THE BEST ICE! No really, they do. I am not one of those people who says «no ice, please». I want my drink to be as cold as possible, and their ice is of the shaved/​chipped variety and it makes for the most refreshing beverage imaginable. I doubt that’s a selling point for many folks, but it takes all kinds, now doesn’t it?
