I guess I don't like German food. I came here with my girlfriend because of the many great reviews and we were pretty disappointed. The sausage sampler wasn't very good either. I acknowledge that I'm...

We came here for dinner and before I begin this review, I have to admit that German food is not one of my favorite ethnic cuisines. It's very heavy on the potatoes and meat especially sausages, which...

Mader's has some of the best German food in the midwest. Order the German sampler and the bratwurst but especially if you like duck do not pass up the duck a' la orange and also if you are a pork fan...

Do yourself a favor and avoid Maders. The German food does not compare to other restaurants in the city (Karl Ratzsch's). However, the ambience in the facility is excellent.
