Dunes Brewing is excited to announce it will now have food available for guests provided by a local favorite that has been a fixture in the community for almost 50 years. Mr. Dunderbak’s, currently located in the Volusia Mall, is expanding for the first time with a satellite location at Dunes Brewing in Port Orange. The new concept, “Dunder Down Under”, is aiming for a target opening date in late Summer of 2024.

“We are eager to grow Mr. Dunderbak’s to a second site,” said Doug Martin, co-owner of Mr. Dunderbak’s. “For half a century, our spot in the Volusia Mall has served as a staple for the  residents and visitors of Daytona Beach. I know our loyal customers will join us in our excitement of collaborating with Dunes Brewing on this new venture. We hope to use Dunder Down Under to not only enhance the Down Under District but also reinvigorate the spirit of Dunderbak’s and welcome a new community of customers.”

Dunes Brewing owner, Michael Benedict adds “The partnership with Mr. Dunderbak’s was a no brainer. One thing that Dunes Brewing had been missing is the food element. Now, with the delicious menu Dunderbak’s is known for paired with the craft beers Dunes has on tap, guests will be able to experience a match made in heaven.”  

Longtime Local Favorite, Mr. Dunderbak’s to Open New Satellite Location in Port Orange

Mr. Dunderbak’s, a Bavarian restaurant and delicatessen, has held its spot in the Volusia Mall for  nearly 50 years and counting after opening in 1975. The eatery offers German sandwiches, deli  meats and cheeses, assorted beers, gifts, and more. The famed local business has remained family-owned since its inception and will continue that legacy with the recent purchase by Doug and Matt Martin in 2023. 

Dunder Down Under will offer the popular German cuisine of Mr. Dunderbak’s at a deli counter inside of Dunes Brewing and a pickup window in the kitchen for takeout orders. The kitchen portion of Dunder Down Under is currently under construction and will be 10 times bigger than what is currently offered at the parent location, allowing for accommodation of third-party delivery orders and catering orders. Dunder Down Under will continue to serve a majority of the  same menu items as well as offer some new dishes. 

Dunes Brewing is a coastal brewery in Port Orange, FL built on the historic dunes between the  Atlantic Ocean and Halifax River. The taproom offers the chance to sit back and enjoy the coastal lifestyle with rotating beers brewed in-house along with an assortment of wines, champagne,  seltzers, snacks, and more. Dunes Brewing is the brainchild of co-owners Michael Benedict, Bobby Zitzka, and Chris Thompson, who dreamt up the idea about 25 years ago when they were  attending the University of Florida together.
