Onmilwaukee.com September, 2006 review of Mader's Restaurant

Mader's caters to its clientele with time-honored décor and home cooked German meals that easily usurp anything those who grew up in Deutsch households ate as children. While traditional, the dishes at Mader's were comforting yet complex, and we found dining here to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience on three separate occasions. We were also pleased to discover that Mader's offers one of the most affordable and satisfying lunches in the city, for both business and social luncheons.

Lunch options at Mader's come with your choice of soup of the day or a house salad with their signature hot bacon dressing; both were superb.

All three of our lunch options were also outstanding. A beef and mushroom strudel ($8.50) came with sauerbraten (a German beef dish in which the beef marinates in a combination of spices and vinegar for a number of days and then is browned, simmered and served with a gravy, usually flavored with ginger snap sauce) in a light and flaky phyllo dough crust with Emmenthal cheese (a type of Swiss cheese). Sauerbraten ($9.95) as a standalone dish truly exhibited the wonderful flavors of a ten day marinated sauerbraten and was topped with sour cream, golden raisins, and toasted almonds. Hungarian style goulash ($9.25) was also a favorite, with tender braised sirloin, lots of Hungarian paprika, and spaetzel (German dumplings, similar to a very heavy flour-based pasta).
