Looking for German restaurant (Tampa, University: university, shopping mall, gardens)

[Floridaobserver]

My dad, who will be visiting us next month, has requested that we take him to a German restaurant. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if they serve food, but I know there's a German bar off of Waters right before you get to Dale Mabry. Right across from the Spanish shopping plaza.

Does it have good snitzel's ?

Yes, Schnitzelhaus on Waters Ave. at Manhattan has great schnitzel and the sauerkraut is to die for. It's a restaurant, not a bar, although they do have beer and wine. They are not open on Monday or Tuesday so plan accordingly.

I think there is at least one Dunderbak's location that is still open, but they are in shopping malls so I don't like the ambience. They do have a fantastic beer selection, though.

There is also a German deli in south Tampa on El Prado, I think it's called Schiller's. It has a good reputation but I have never been.

There used to be a German restaurant at Busch Gardens. The food was really good, but it's been a long time ago that I ate there. Maybe someone else here can tell you if it's still there; or maybe you could do some additional research.

There's a Bavarian restaurant in St. Pete Beach on Gulf just south of 75th.

Restaurant Old Castle Tavern

813-633-6900

3830 Sun City Center Blvd
Sun City Center, FL 33573

Pretty decent food, but the location is about 20 miles south of Tampa and it is located in a strip mall type of place. Small restaurant, but I know Germans that enjoy the food. http://www.oldcastletavern.us/

Thank you for the back up. I've just passed it a couple of times.

Dunderbaks moved from University Mall to a much bigger (and better!) location on Bruce B. Downs in New Tampa last year.

Here's their web site: Dunderbaks

Check out Creative Loafing's Bites offers, sometimes they will sell $30 gift certificates for $15. https://www.terratialce.com/tcce/cus...s&market=tampa
They don't have Dunderbaks listed on there now, but they change their offers frequently, so check back often.
