Service was great. Food was tasty. Beer was refreshing. Ambience was on point. What more could you ask for.

Great welcoming service. Nice German decor. The best German potato salad comes with the okay schnitzel. We so enjoyed the lunch!

Andreas Keller German Restaurant is an absolute MUST for me and my family. The Schnitzel Cordon Bleu will change your life--no exaggeration. I'm not usually someone who finishes a big plate, but somehow I manage to clean this one every time...including the Käsespätzle with the homemade mushroom sauce (no regrets, ever). My guy usually goes for one of the sausages or wieners, and he's just as happy with his choice. The food comes out fast, which is great--but do yourself a favor and check out the menu ahead of time to better prepare you and your family (especially if you have kids). I can't even count how many times I've overheard full-on family debates at the table trying to decide what to order. Whether it's lunch or dinner, this place is always worth it. Be prepared for a wait--it gets busy--but that's how you know it's good. Trust me, you'll forget about the wait the second your food hits the table. The atmosphere is fully traditional and honestly just so much fun--it feels like a little trip without leaving the country. read more

I've finally found a place in the States serving truly excellent German cuisine! Andreas Keller sits right at the start of the main block in downtown Leavenworth and has been a family-run business since 1989. They serve authentic Bavarian classics -- pretzels, schnitzels, schweinshaxe, spätzle, sausages, and of course, German beer. We waited about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all given how popular it is. The atmosphere immediately transports you to Bavaria. Servers wear traditional attire, and the walls are adorned with German beer steins, murals, and lush greenery. It feels festive yet cozy. - Schnitzel Cordon Bleu -- perfectly breaded and not overly oily, layered with salty cured ham and melted Swiss cheese; served over spätzle, it was savory, rich, and indulgent - Jägerschnitzel -- topped with a mushroom gravy (Jägersoße) that was my favorite part; deep, rustic umami flavor with tender pork and a light sprinkle of thyme; crispy on the outside, juicy inside The vibes are warm and homey -- a great spot whether you're visiting in summer or winter (I can only imagine how magical it feels during the holidays). Next time I'm definitely trying their Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälderkirschtorte), which comes from their sister bakery upstairs, The Gingerbread Factory. My only gripe is the pricing -- $34 for the Cordon Bleu and $30 for schnitzel is on the higher side especially compared to the equivalent in Germany. But honestly, the authenticity of the food reminded me so much of my last trip to Germany that I can't be too upset about it. Overall, a bustling yet cozy restaurant filled with families and travelers alike. Absolutely worth a visit if you're craving classic Bavarian comfort food. read more

Classic German Cuisine Will Leave You Satisfied! Not knowing our exact arrival time in Leavenworth due to a Thanksgiving snowstorm, we skipped making dinner reservations. No worries--I had already checked out Andreas Keller online and saw reviews saying walk-ins were usually doable. Sure enough, we stopped in, gave our name to the host, were handed a pager, and told the wait would be about an hour. Perfect--time to shop! When we returned, we were seated at the last table in the back near the small bar. Even though the restaurant was full, the location was ideal--we could actually hear each other and enjoy a real conversation . Major kudos to our waitress, who mentioned she had driven over an hour in the snowstorm just to work the dinner shift. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant (I wish I remembered her name). My son ordered the Chicken Oktoberfest--and got the last one! That alone tells you how popular it is. It came with warm red cabbage, potato salad, and grainy mustard and was absolutely worth it. My daughter-in-law ordered the Bavarian Beef Goulash with spaetzle, which unfortunately was a miss--the meat was quite dry, even with the gravy. I went with the Sahne Schnitzel topped with gravy and served over spaetzle, and it was tasty and comforting. Portions here are generous and easily shareable. For drinks, my son enjoyed a craft beer, while my DIL and I each had two Glühweins--served hot with a cinnamon stick. Sweet, warming, and a true German classic. All in all, Andreas Keller is a solid walk-in option with heavy portions, festive drinks and a cozy atmosphere. BTW, Keep a lookout, You can miss the entrance to Andreas Keller, as you need to walk down the stairs. read more

So after three visite over the years, always excellent food. My wife's favorite is the Cordon Blue Schnitzel, which is stuffed with smoked pork and swiss cheese. A unique entree to say the least. Be careful because that cheese is still moten HOT when you eat. Flavors are great and the dish is more filling that you expect. I like the Beef Goulash, with a side of German potato salad, it's the right size entree. Seasoning is just right, and very tender pieces of beef, my second favorite item I finally tried the seasonal smoked bratwurst plate. This was a little lighter then the beef goulash, so I had room for dessert. This smoked bratwurst had a thick skin, so a knife was deployed to cut it, but the flavors were on point, just a little smoke and great flavor. Now the best of all part, dessert. The black forest cake was incrediable light and brandy infused cherry tasty. Towards the end I ate more of the cake then frosting, but a delicious dessert. So far the only one I have tried. The seating in the "wine barrels" is a bit of a unique experience, and the second night they have live music. He was singing in German a variety of songs on his accordian. The staff was great, they answered all of our questions and had helpful suggestions, and very accomdating. Great food and consistent excellent service read more

I picked Andreas Keller as my lunch option as the food options were more diverse but honestly, I would've been happier at Munchen Haus. Andreas Keller is located downstairs right by the gingerbread factory. The ambiance was nice and there's two unisex restrooms that were clean. The biggest advice is to pre waitlist on yelp as the wait can get very long. When checking in with the hostess, she was rude and gave off the feeling that she didn't want to work there. I tried a few items and overall there were okay. I really liked the dessert but it was actually from the gingerbread factory. pretzel with alpine cheese: the pretzel is unsalted and doesn't have much flavor. the add on of alpine cheese (+$6) was necessary and the cheese sauce was very cheesy and flavorful. fried potatoes (side): the potatoes weren't crispy and just okay. It paired well with the alpine cheese though. bavarian beef goulash: the beef was tender and overall light in flavor. it was a good dish and was reminiscent of my time in Europe. Jägerschnitzel swiss style: i would avoid this dish as there was really no flavor at all. it tasted like a bland pork cutlet. Black Forest cake: straight from the gingerbread factory, the cake has 3 levels and has great chocolate cherry flavor throughout. the bottom of the cake also had a thin layer or crisp which was nice. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! They have the Bavarian vibe down with their warm, cozy atmosphere. My partner and I each had the sausage plate. Lots of different sausages to choose from and both of ours were good. Delicious sauerkraut and German potato salad on the side too! Friendly, fast service rounded out our great lunch. read more

We decided to try this place that has been recommended by many locals/tourists! We got to Leavenworth at around 10 but they don't open until 11:30am, the line started forming at around 11:00 and we were lucky enough to be the first batch sat. We originally had a bad rep of schnitzels bc of the first schnitzels had at another restaurant last year... let me tell y'all... the cordon bleu schnitzel here did not disappoint! It was crispy, the Spatz was amazing. And the gravy was great. It was REALLY pricy though for the portion I'd say. The small pretzel was enough to share between me and my partner and it was pretty good! The service was great, prices were up there, and the overall cozy ambiance was top tier. Def. A go to whenever we visit during the holidays. read more

I went a a few minutes before this place opened since it always had a long wait whenever we passed by. Overall not extremely worth the hype in my opinion. We got the sahneschnitzel and schweinshaxe. The schnitzel was delicious. The batter is super crispy and the sauce was very flavorful. But it was comparable to Mozart's schnitzel (the sister restaurant upstairs with less of a wait) though i guess it's a tad cheaper at Andreas Keller. The schweinshaxe was tender and delicious as well but just kind of tough to break through the skin. The ambiance is quite cozy and the outfits of the staff here are cute! One problem we had though was that they kept messing up orders. We were around the 5th party of the day to be seated but didn't get our food until more than a half hour later while everyone in the restaurant was already served. Turns out they accidentally served our food to the table behind us, compensated them for the mistake (even though they kept the food), but not us, probably thinking we didn't notice :/. Then when our food came out it came with a pretzel that we didn't order which belonged to a table next to us so we told them immediately. It felt like a whole domino effect of wrong orders. Otherwise it was overall pretty good food, just an unlucky experience. read more

Visited Leavenworth for the first time and was looking forward to trying Andreas Keller. Due to the busy holiday season, there can be long wait times if you put your name down through the Yelp app. I do recommend either calling the day of or go into the restaurant first thing when they open and putting your name down on their waiting list for the time that you would like to come and dine in. They'll ask for your name and phone number. I got a text notification and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was cozy and inviting. Our waiter was super welcoming and answered all of our questions. We ordered the Bavarian Beef Goulash and Breaded Pork Sahneschnitzel. The Bavarian Beef Goulash was tender and the spatzle noodles helped to soak up the rich flavorful sauce. The Breaded Pork Sahneschnitzel was hot, crispy, seasoned well and tender. It paired well with their homemade gravy. Overall this is a great place to enjoy cozy Bavarian food. read more

I love this cute place. The pretzel was enormous and the schnitzel was so yummy and so was the different sausages we tried but I think I like their knackwurst the best. The portions are large and the vibe in the restaurant is great. The wait is long but it was worth it. The staff was attentive and friendly. Their live music was great and interactive absolutely loved the entertainment. read more

This is my favorite restaurant to stop by whenever we're in town. The best course of action is to get into the town, put your name on the wait list, and then go explore. the wait list tends to be a few hours on busy days, especially if it's snowy. They also don't take reservations so you can't call ahead. I love the chicken schnitzel here and the pork leg is iconic. It's kind of crammed but it's the best schnitzel that I've had in Leavenworth and the entertainment is very enjoyable. read more

It was a Tuesday when my husband and I decided to come here. When we arrived, we were notified that there is a 2.5 - 3 hour wait. The restaurant was packed and lively. We decided to put our names down and walk around the promenade to kill time. Exactly 2.5 hours later, we received a text that said our table was ready. We walked back to the restaurant and was quickly seated to our table. Our server came and took drink orders and quickly came back to get your food order. My husband ordered the Class Pork Weiner Schnitzel and I ordered the Chicken Oktoberfest. Everything was very flavor and delicious. We ordered the chocolate cake to-go as well. read more

Came in here for dinner and opted to sit outside since i had my dog and to enjoy the weather and people watching. They have an outdoor patio directly across fro. The park with was perfect for my kiddo to play while we waited for our food. The service great as they checked on us often. I ordered the Giant Style "Muinch Atyle" Pork hock. It was huge! And the skin was crispy, however, very hard to chew. The meat also was not seasoned and lacked flavor. The red cabbage it came with tasted delicious. We also ordered the schnitzel and it was crispy and delicious. Overall, for the cost of the Pork hock was pricey and needed seasoning. But the restaurant and customer service was great! Highly recommend. read more

We had such a great experience at Andreas Keller--this place nails the cozy Bavarian vibes and delivers on flavor, too. We tried a little bit of everything: - Glühwein was on the sweeter side for my taste, but still a fun seasonal sip. - Pretzel was perfect--definitely eat it while it's warm! - The rotisserie chicken was super flavorful, and the side of potatoes deserves its own shoutout. - We ordered the Jägerschnitzel with grilled chicken instead of the traditional version and it was still delicious--really well done. - And wow, the Black Forest cake. I've had plenty of modified versions over the years, but nothing comes close to this authentic one. Rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Service was great--friendly and efficient. And the ambience? Loved it. It felt warm, festive, and charmingly old-world. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Leavenworth and want a solid Bavarian meal in a great setting! read more

The restaurant's interior was very cute and cozy. We had a larger party (9) and they were able to accommodate us at ~12 pm on a sunday and we did not have to wait. I tried the goulash and schnitzel cordon bleu. I expected the beef in the goulash to be more tender and flavorful. There was also no textural contrast. The schnitzel was more flavorful (although very salty) I enjoyed it more than the goulash, but I also don't think it was great. Every bite tasted a bit different because the ingredients on the interior weren't spread out well. I also thought that this was pricey for what we got. read more

We stopped in for a light dinner which is probably very funny given German food seems to be a bit heavy. We were greeted with some friendly hosts and an accordian player that was playing for what seemed to be a bachelorette party. It was definitely a lively atmosphere which we loved. We started off with beers on draft and a schnitzel salad. The salad was so light and fresh. The dressing was to die for. It seems like ranch but consistency was lighter. We also had a few sausages to finish off a low carb dinner. It was a good finish to an already gluttonous weekend. read more

I'm not able to write much of a review on Andreas Keller unfortunately. I called to be put on the waitlist around noon on Saturday. They where very kind and offered to put me on the list if anyone canceled as well as the waitlist for later that evening. An hour before our time I got a text canceling our waitlist. Its unfortunate they don't honor the waitlist they advertise. read more

Andreas Keller felt like family 8 years ago. Today, it is a rush of people, lack of family feel, robotic motion by front house, and sadly has lost its German welcome which is sad. Food is still good but it feels like a cafeteria. Room for a warm welcome upon entering (yes that is hard to do after a long night of patrons). More wait staff and less bussers. And cap your reservations vs taking people way past closing. Would be great if the host or owner once more walked around the table to get to know your guests. Finally, the staff that are doing the waiting are the ones keeping it together. Would like to see improvements so the review can change! read more

Super packed during the winter if you plan to go. Once we were seated service was fast and our waiter was very friendly. Reminiscent of a beer hall in Germany, it was a bit chilly cause people kept opening the door. Food was good, a little over priced. For example, ordered a big pretzel and to have the side of cheese sauce it was an extra $6 and not very big. Goulash was very tasty. Might try somewhere new next time. read more

My partner and I wanted to try Schweinshaxe during our trip to Leavenworth and so we headed to Andreas Keller. We joined the waitlist on our way to the restaurant and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. I love the vibe of this place. I find their booth seating quite charming. We got the Schweinshaxe for sharing. It was pretty good. It wasn't as crispy as it should be but it wasn't bad at all. We wished they had a bigger serving of the potatoes. I would say it's still good to try but you're not missing out if you decide not to. I'd love to try their other items next time. Our host and our server were both lovely. read more

Our waiter was really nice as well, and didn't hover which is always a plus. It's only not five stars because while the food was good, I felt as though there could've been more flavor. It was cooked well, just needed a little more! But generous portions. The German potato salad was perfect! read more

Very good schnitzel!!! Both fried and grilled. The Beef Goulash was also absolutely delicious. Giving props to our waiter for being able to bring out a small dish of it with some rye bread on the side even though it's normally offered as a large main dish with sides. I was going to give it a perfect 5, however, we did have utensils and food dropped on us twice. Had it happen once, I would have just said ah forget about it, especially since we were accommodated very well in the beginning. Twice with stains on our shirts though, not the best. Totally fine if you need to make multiple trips to bring stuff back! Otherwise highly highly recommend!! read more

Great restaurant in a cute Bavarian town that felt pretty authentic. The ambiance and vibe felt very German. The menu had lots of German offerings. Our service was friendly and decently attentive. And the food was good. We feasted on a variety of tasty sausages. Would defeat here again. It was also, oddly, one of the least crowded restaurants on a day in this town that was hugely packed. This might have to do with it being downstairs off the street and not super flashy? It was one of the highest rated on Yelp with an authentic menu. And it definitely did not disappoint! And for a party of 5, we didn't need a reservation (which they don't take) or have to wait or anything. read more

Came here as we heard it is one of the two big places to eat in Leavenworth. It was underwhelming. Host wasn't very friendly and didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Ambience is nice and homey and the service and our waitress was great but the food was incredibly bland.. maybe our American palettes are too used to rich salty foods.. UPDATE: I GOT FOOD POISONING FROM HERE. Definitely as terrible as it sounds being hours away in the mountains without the comfort and privacy of home to be sick and anxious on a terribly long drive back to the city. Had to change my rating. It literally ruined what we were trying to make a very magical day. Dine here at your own risk! read more

We came here on a Friday evening with no reservation and was able to be seated within minutes. It is "off season" so it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. Ambiance is great! There was live music being played and still a good amount of people around. We ordered the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, Jägerschnitzel, both were delicious and in huge portion that we had left overs. Our server was great and attentive. We did order a dessert to go, which was the black Forrest cake - unfortunately no picture was taken but it was a solid 3.5/5 for us. It was too moist that it was more wet. But the flavor was there- not so much the texture. Overall good experience read more

Holy cow!! I'm obsessed with sauerkraut so to make a soup out of it...chefs kiss. Once again we had amazing food here. I guess this is our go to spot now. read more

Every time we come to Leavenworth, we always come to this restaurant for a reason. Their food is definitely a step above the other nearby places, so for us it's worth the wait. They do a proper giant pretzel, it's actually big and fluffy with dipping options like mustard and cheese. They accommodate small children very well too, so for our family have been a great experience before and after having little ones. They're centrally located in town, and has a nice Bavarian feel inside. Highly recommend. read more

This is an amazing German restaurant in downtown Leavenworth. We had the creamy kraut soup to start. It comes with bread and butter for dipping. The flavors were amazing and ordered another cup.

We haven't been to Leavenworth in 2 years. It's really good to see that the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu is still just as flavorful as ever! I have been looking forward to this dish for over 400 miles and it did not disappoint. Thankfully we are here now, which seems to be the off season for tourism, so lucky for us there was no waiting. The Schnitzel was breaded well and stuffed with layers of ham and Swiss. It was fairly large and tender, easy to cut. The sauce and spätzle are a magic combination of flavors. Seriously, this dish is addictive and I will be back tomorrow for another. read more

Unfortunately the main of the dish I ordered, the chicken, was overcooked, dry, and didn't have much flavor.

The Bavarian pretzel was good, but I felt like the alpine cheese sauce was overpriced ($6 for just the sauce). $19 in total for the pretzel and cheese sauce read more
