We had a great time at Baren Haus! The atmosphere was lively and fun, especially on a Saturday night with live music. Being able to put in song requests made the whole experience even more interactive and memorable. We came with a friend from Germany and he said the food felt truly authentic, which says a lot. We ordered the pretzels, schnitzel, Sauerbraten, and the sausage platter. All were hearty and what you'd hope for at a Bavarian-style beer hall. We also had a hot toddy and mulled wine, perfect for the Leavenworth vibe and delicious. Between the food, drinks, music, and cozy ambiance, it was such a fun night. Would definitely recommend if you're visiting Leavenworth and want the full experience! read more

My cousin and I stopped by Bären Haus on a Sunday while in Leavenworth, hoping to try another German restaurant in town. We were especially excited to order the Kohl Roulade (stuffed cabbage), since we had tried it at another nearby spot earlier on our trip and absolutely loved it. When we arrived, there was about a 15-minute wait for booths and tables, but we were seated right away at the high tops. We were already starving and had plans to catch the fireworks afterward, so that worked perfectly for us. Shortly after sitting down, we were served warm bread with both regular butter and garlic butter. The garlic butter paired with the warm, soft bread was to die for, honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We placed our order for the Kohl Roulade, and it came out in about 10 minutes. As soon as it arrived, I cut into the roll, made sure to smother it in the marinara sauce, and took my first bite...then my second...and my third. Overall, it was just okay. The meat wasn't quite as flavorful as what we had experienced elsewhere, which was a bit disappointing given how high our expectations were. The plate also came with red cabbage, sauerkraut, and fried potatoes. The red cabbage and potatoes were tasty, but the sauerkraut wasn't really for me though that's more of a personal preference since I'm not a big sauerkraut fan. We really wanted to love this dish, but it just didn't quite live up to what we were hoping for. That said, you can't win them all, right? The service was good and the staff were very friendly, which we appreciated. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd definitely try a different dish next time. read more

While traveling through Leavenworth, we wanted to experience authentic German food, and this spot was a great find. The restaurant has a casual bar and diner feel, and although there was a short wait to be seated, it was completely reasonable given the busy season. The service was friendly, the portions were huge, and the flavors were fantastic. Definitely a great little lunch stop if you are looking for hearty, delicious German food in a relaxed setting. read more

One of the Bavarian-style bier halls in Leavenworth; was a bit loud and not easy to talk to one another. Our food was good and we enjoyed our time. Some other places were busy so we chose Baren Haus because we were able to get seating. read more

The service was great, Courtney is the best waitress. She knows all the food and the area SO well. It's a quiet, comfortable restaurant- great portions and fresh food. The live music on weekends here is great- we went a couple years ago! read more

We picked this place because it was the one restaurant on the main drag in Leavenworth that wasn't packed. That's not always a good sign, but we were too hungry to wait! But this place wasn't bad. I got the combo sausage platter and both sausages were tasty. It came with a ton of sauerkraut and red cabbage and potatoes. The bread was pretty dry but everything else was fine. The wait staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall, no complaints! read more

Second stop in town trying to find good German food. They advertise seasoned potatoes and fresh baked bread, so I thought we were on the right track. NOPE! Just as gross as the last place. Ordered the beef rouladen. The beef was old and dry. They covered it in a gravy that tasted old with a weird color. As far as the "seasoned" potatoes and the "fresh baked bread", both were gross. The potatoes were cold and tasted like nothing. The bread was baked somewhere for sure, likely not there. And if it was, it was from a can. Tasted like gross back of the Winco aisle buns that come in a bag. Again, such a shame. Also, the restaurant was filthy. Looked like it hadn't been swept or mopped in months! read more

This place is pretty good. They have a wide spread of food ranging from Pizza to Steak. The service was friendly and the decor and layout was not overly crammed. The one thing i did not like is the fact that they charge for refills on all drinks (except water). Which the only reason for the 4 stars. I believe that is kinda a big deal when the prices for the rest of the menu is what is it. I am not saying they are overpriced, but simply that free refills is not completely unreasonable. Overall i still recommend this restaurant, just expect then to not tell you about the "hidden" fees. read more

Fun German restaurant in Leavenworth, right downtown. It can get crowded and doesn't take reservation so get here early. Friendly staff. Fun indoor venue. Lots of good German food options and beer.

I stopped in on a busy Sunday night, but was able to get a seat rather quickly because I was over 21 and able to sit in the bar. The Jägerschnitzel was great. The breading was tasty, but the meat was a little tough to cut through. However, after having tried four Jägerschnitzel dishes in town, Baren Haus wins the prize for the most delicious and flavorful mushroom gravy! read more

One of the popular meat try places in Leavenworth for its German food scene. Grabbed dinner last week as I got couple of friends from the Bay area, got them to try my local spots. We got Bratwurst Platter, Schinitzel, Margherita and Pretzel. I love their Pretzels, so had to make my friends try it too. Food was great, the Beets with Entrees tasted so fresh. read more

Baren Haus - Schnitzel! That are not shy about filling up a plate. - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Let's begin with the food. Personally, I felt like it was a good amount of food. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium well), and the fries were good. I've got to say, the overall presentation is alright. It's not fancy, but it's also not the worse. I mean, most people here are tourists and you aren't really coming here for a fancy dinner or brunch. But, it could be better. I love the overall atmosphere of Leavenworth, and that same charming and festive ambiance translated into the restaurant. The service was good, very attentive and friendly from what I can recall. read more

I thought it started off great my group and I were helped right away, and the theme of the place was amazing! The host was wearing a dirndl costume and made it feel as if I was in Germany. Though, by the time we sat down it went downhill... after we ordered our food which I was ecstatic to try, and received mine I was disappointed. I ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel which was not the best. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be but it tasted dry to me, and it wasn't my favorite. Most likely wouldn't try that place again. read more

Went here during a trip up to town, and I was surprised by the quality to say the least. The decor wasn't exactly what one things of when the outside looks so nice, but the food was absolutely amazing. Soft bread, flavorful chicken, and crispy fries that I'd love to have again! Not to mention the service was pretty good, so I'd recommend a nice lunch here if you stop by read more

Myself and a friend went to Baren Haus during peak season on December 28th. We were unsurprised at a long waitlist to get a table for two around 2pm and ended up getting sat by about 315pm. Of note, the hostess was kind, calm, and courteous and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, prompt and managed her numerous tables with seemingly ease. Unfortunately, the food was not ideal. We started by ordering the German Pretzel with cheese sauce and were disappointed to find the cheese sauce was eerily similar to Cheez Whiz and definitely low quality. For lunch, I ordered the Sauerbraten and my friend ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. I was excited to try a new German dish and was hoping for a better experience than what I had with the pretzel, but was disappointed to find out the "sweet and tangy brown gravy" used was almost identical to a watered-down version of HP Sauce. Despite not being the most authentic or delicious meal, the portion was massive and I was unable to finish my plate. As for the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, my friend noted it was one of the best grilled chicken sandwiches she had ever had and also commented on the large portion size. Based on the food we had ordered, the best items were those that were not traditionally German, which seemed odd for a restaurant in the middle of a Bavarian village. I would likely not re-visit given the lower quality of the food. However, I would definitely re-visit to experience the high level of service from the staff, and positive atmosphere with the themed decor. read more

I've had better and hotter food at hospital cafeterias. It was probably pretty good when it was made... yesterday? I make dinner almost every night for my family and with busy schedules, it sometimes has to hold for hours. Mine still beats this hands down. Cutting the schnitzel was tough with the supplied steak knife. Everything was just above room temperature when served. Nowhere near the 140 deg health code minimum. You know how improperly reheated food cools down quicker than freshly cooked food? This was like that but more so. The potatos were undercooked yet cold after a few bites. The "in house bread" might be homemade, just not today, or yesterday, but perhaps a few of days ago. I had one bite. If your going to try to pass off leftovers as restaurant quality, at least re-warm that shit in a hot skillet, not 60 sec in a microwave. I wanted to like this place but I've found very few good options in such a tourist trap town. Unless your drunk while here and don't notice or care, great food can be had outside of town in Cashmere or at the Y Cafe. read more

1st authentic German food experience, and not sure if there will be a second. The sausages were good, but I'm probably not a big sauerkraut fan. I really like the esthetics of the place. Suits of armor and coat of arms on the walls were really fun. The service was ok. Baren Haus does not take reservations, so everything is on a notepad waitlist (no cellphone texts, etc.). Also...$$$ Overall: if you know you love German Food, and don't mind dropping serious money on it, this may be the place for you. read more

I visit this restaurant everytime I go to, or through Leavenworth. 1st of all if you've never been to Leavenworth it's a total Bavarian experience in itself! Definitely I must do. And Baron Haus is my "go to" place to get my German/Bavarian sausage & Bratwurst fix!! Lol Comfortable atmosphere, friendly service & good food! My favorite is the German Sausage and Bratwurst combination plate with Sauerkraut, Red Cabbage & potatoes. "Um, um goooooood!!!" It also comes with fresh bread & herb butter. And if I'm not driving, a German beer or good IPA to go with it! Definitely gotta try the Schintzel & Sauerbraten one day. read more

After backpacking/hiking for 3 days we met here for some celebratory food and drinks. The staff was very welcoming-- the lingering dirt in our clothes & lumps in our walks, they could tell we were ready to feast. They weren't too busy and we were able ti get a table right away. Our server was very sweet and prompt with orders and drinks. We had a group of 7 and we got a mosh-posh of menu items-- fried pickles, pretzels, sausage plates, burgers, sandwiches and a few types of pizza. Food was ok and service was outstanding! read more

I'd like to give them 0 stars and here is why: 1. Food service: we got our food after 2 hours of waiting 2. We had mosquitoes in our food: a. Reason that bitch told me was that it's an old building and therefore we have mosquitos which came in our food and drinks. b.I am a pure vegetarian and I broke my religious vows for the same reason. c. Server/waiter used abusive language while talking to us, while we were dealing with the issue. d. I'd appreciate if you'd finish eating and drinking at Icelicles instead of this this shitty place read more

There were buckets collecting water around in interior. Staff was friendly and nice but they need to repaint the side windows so it doesn't seem run down.

We were in town for the Winterfest. We almost always go to another place for sausage, but the line was ridiculously long. This was our first time trying Rhein Haus.

Fun gastropub-like place that really captures the German feel of Leavenworth. This was great to come to after some of the beauty hikes in the area, as staff was super friendly and service was really quick. The beef rouladen was decent - a lot of bratwursts are far too mild and bland for my taste but this was fairly good on that front! It was a little disappointing that they were out of almost all the beer, but staff had good recommendations for what we wanted, and I left a happy customer! read more

The hostess seems to be in the bad mood but our server was great. We had ask for no cheese or thousand island on a item we ordered due to severe allergies and we had to turn it back 3 times due to it having it every time. The portions were big.

We really wanted to try their food but the inside has no AC and was about 90 degrees and the outside seating area left a lot to be desired. Basically they just had 2 picnic tables outside with no water and no umbrellas. It was weird. Needless to say we never ate here. read more

I'm giving it 2 stars because we walking in and thought in was seat your self since we wait for a couple minutes at the front and didn't see anyone. Our waitress was nice with a good attitude. With the food I feel they need to do better on flavor and texture. I ordered their signature burger and for $18 I thought they would ask how I wanted it cooked but they didn't. My wife order grilled chicken with side salad. They need to work on TIMING they brought everything out at once, even the bread. The food looked amazing but tasted so so. My burger patty tasted like one of those sausage patties from Macdonald's and my wife said her grilled chicken was a 3 out of 5. Also there pops or soda for some people cost $5 each. All in all this place was a real let down. I wouldn't recommend coming here read more

When I read the reviews, we were reluctant to eat here. But I'm glad we did. The service was very good. We knew it was a little busy, but they were able to find us a table right away. My wife was a little light headed, and she wanted a snack as quickly as possible. We asked the person who brought us water if he could order pretzels right away, and even though he wasn't our server, it was out to use in moments! The pretzels were quite good. The cheese sauce, which could be hot or miss, was very good too! I had a kolsch beer, and it was good. I ordered the German Sausage Platter, which came with red cabbage, German sauerkraut, and German potatoes. The sausage was smoked and the taste was amazing. The kraut was good, but the red cabbage was the best! My wife had Sauerbratten. It came with the same sides, but the meat was tender, and the sauce was amazing. Maybe it was because it was mid-week, but everything was much better than other reports. I'd highly recommend eating here. read more

Baren Haus - Cabbage Rolls - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Went for Lunch Food - 1/5. Both the bratwurst and German sausage were savory, had a rich flavor, and a satisfying snap on its skin. It was packed well to form a nice bite yet tender. The mustard helped brighten up the richness with its strong flavor. The cabbages were OK. There was very little difference between the red cabbage and sauerkraut in terms of flavor with both having a hint of sweet and sourness. I would have expected the red cabbage to have a sweeter flavor, possibly with fruit notes, and the sauerkraut to have a stronger sourness to act as a palate cleanser. Both were below expectations. The German fried potatoes truly lacked anything that could make the differentiation between German fried potatoes and American homes fries. It lacked any kind of seasoning outside of salt, pepper, and fat. There were no chives, bacon bits, onions or paprika to speak of. The schnitzel was truly lacking in all the fundamentals. Rather than a crispy, juicy bite, the breading was soggy, even at the areas that weren't touching the sauce, and the meat was tough. It clearly used Italian bread crumbs, as shown by the specks of parsley, which was not the flavor profile you want in a jaeger schnitzel. The pan gravy was a standard brown sauce, which just reinforced their lack of understanding in German cuisine. Even the bread had the taste of freezer burn. It is hard to label this as authentically Bavarian or even a good adaptation; it was a poor imitation at best. Service - 3/5. Service was spotty and food came out at random times. The bread was delivered way after the entrees. Value - 1/5. German entrees are in the mid $20s price range, which is standard. They give plenty of food, but that ended up being a mixed blessing. While the menu items have German origin, the quality and understanding of the German flavor profile is severely lacking. It would be a shame if this was someone's first experience with German food. The opportunity cost of this being one of your few meals when visiting Leavenworth is severe. Parking - Municipal Lot/Street (Metered) read more
