Beautiful restaurant, great service, and great food! Our waitress, Trinity, was amazing and made sure my wife and I were well taken care of and went above and beyond for us! Thank you for the amazing experience!

Excellent food and prices, only complaint would be the small drinks for the price..... the Moscow mule was good but mostly ice and wasnt even filled to the top. Other than that,.... highly recommend the food.

Like others, we went to leavenworth to see the winter lights and found this place for a quick dinner. The food was good. Loved the grilled chicken sandwich. Overall, the atmosphere is okay. Will visit again for the sandwich.

Awesome German food in Leavenworth! Not overcomplicated or overmodernized food! Great Schnitzel and Wurst, both are highly recommended. Servers are very attentive even when slammed. Keep an eye out for open tables in Trinity's section. She rocks and is very friendly.

We randomly went in here because we were hungry and even got a table within minutes. Fortunately they had a vegetarian burger with mushrooms on top which tasted very good surprisingly. Their burgers are served with some fries which also tasted fresh. We ordered a german chocolate cake and a cheesecake. Both of them were heavenly! The chocolate cake is uniquely good and the cheesecake was smooth. Do try out this place if you are in Leavenworth!

Got here right when they opened and they didn’t have any pretzels left. Got the cheese pizza and that was yummy. Service was really good, even gave me a soda for the road.

I literally came in because of the sign, and I'm super glad I did!!! The food is beyond phenomenal, authentic, and hearty. The different flavors were ridiculously delicious. I went with some friends and we ordered just about all the dinner platters no regrets! I mostly drank ciders, and my friends got their IPA's, and all were very good. I highly recommend this spot. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very tourist friendly. There wasn't really a wait, surprisingly, so definitely go!

Really good, casual spot to get your German cuisine fix. Had a really good schnitzel & reuben sandwich while we were there. And a delicious, ice cold German beer. Service was speedy & waitress was attentive. They got us in during the last hour of service & treated us well & everything was good. No complaints. Recommend!
