Mader’s Restaurant is an old-school food spot in downtown Milwaukee offering classic German cuisine served by traditionally attired waitstaff amidst classic Bavarian décor. Not many restaurants in Milwaukee, or in Mid-America for that matter, have as rich of a history as Mader’s. Mader’s Restaurant was founded in 1902 when the majority of Milwaukee’s population were German immigrants and as such, beer was typically the drink of choice.

Mader’s Restaurant was forced to reinvent itself in 1920 due to the prohibition. Mader’s wife Celia, a German immigrant herself, began churning out some of the favorite dishes from her homeland, such as Sauerbraten, Weiner Schnitzel, and Pork Shank. Their new business plan succeeded and it kept Mader’s open long past the prohibition. Today, they are still serving America's finest German cuisine. Their menus are filled with German dishes that raise the standards of fine dining in Milwaukee. In order to make the most of your experience at Mader’s we recommend ordering a sampler, that way you can enjoy many of the finest dishes that Germany has to offer. Their Rhine Sampler is delicious, coming with Wiener schnitzel, spätzle, and Hungarian goulash.
