Tldr: this place is a hidden gem for a great view to watch the street and the park across. Tables ar wonky for groups of 4. Happy hour sweetened the deal. Must order the fries and the pretzel bites! Ambience: cozy bar vibes lots of seating and a great view of the main street with the park, make sure you ask for the tables facing the street. These tables look like they only start 4 Service: was really good, was asking about which bears taste what and she was very helpful. Also checked on us before happy hour last call. Food: really good!! We were only here to snack, but I loved both the fries and the pretzels, the pretzel dips were really good too. If u made me choose which to order next time, my answer is both. read more

The two stars reflect upon the food. The staff were amazing and were very kind. The restaurant was very clean as well and it was easy to get a table for a party of 8. However, the food was terrible! I almost didn't eat my entree, and some of my friends didn't eat much. The food was WAY too sweet for our taste. I ordered the cowboy burger, but it was dripping in some sweet sauce that made it hard to stomach my food. read more

Visited here shortly after Christmas, Leavenworth, WA is a must see around the holidays. The lights and decorations are exceptional. After checking out the town we decided to get something for dinner. We settled on Colchuck's and boy we were not disappointed. The beer selection was excellent and the German food was delicious. Our waitress and the staff were friendly and very thoughtful. The service overall was great. This is definitely a must return for us in the future! read more

Colchuck's - Inside - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

In Leavenworth for the weekend with a group of friends who possessed a diverse pallet. We chose this restaurant at the recommendation of an individual working in a local wine tasting room and one of our travelers wanted German food. One member of our group is vegan and the menu's entrees possessed limited vegetarian options, salad or grill cheese. Our server was outstanding! He had to managed 5 different checks at our table. We started out with ordering drinks and upon arrival our main dishes. We were there for dinner, it was not busy, low season. The restaurant is on the second floor of a Main Street building. It is modern and airy. Our table was in an alcove with windows on one side, our view was a hotel. I ordered the seasonal vegetable salad, no protein added- vegetarian! I ate the whole thing! It was good. I believe the roasted vegetable was sweet potato. My friend ordered a side of Brussel sprouts, they were wonderful! I added them to my salad, very nice addition! The brussel sprouts tasted sweet like they were drizzled with honey, they were cooked perfectly! Two friends ordered a German dishes, one cleaned his plate and the other ordered a sausage dish, more than she could eat but delicious. Another friend ordered a brat paddy sandwich, delicious! All and all we were satisfied with our experience! Worth visiting! I love the option of the QR code on the receipt to make payment, wish all restaurants used this option. read more

This is a hidden gem hiding right on Front street. The happy hour is excellent: $5 off cocktails, pitchers, glasses of wine and appetizers. From 3:30 to 5 I believe. The inside is slightly upscale without being pretentious. I was in shorts and a T-shirt during a hot summer day, but would also come here on a birthday or anniversary. Also, kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree from 12-3pm, so there are great deals to be had here. The service was also friendly and attentive. read more

We get up the stairs and are greeted and offered to pick a table. We grab a good window seat up here on the top floor. Service is immediate, friendly and helpful. Jägerschnitzel is very flavorful and breaded well. The portobello mushrooms and pickled shallots are a perfect accompaniment for that delicious flavor profile. The gravy is exceptionally well done. We also have a side of the Smashed Rosemary Spring potatoes... they are a good addition to the schnitzel. The potatoes appear to be a yellow potato variety and have a unique flavor. They are seasoned, they are cooked well and lightly smashed then baked. They are buttery delicious and as a side dish, the portions are generous enough to be an entree themselves. The Spätzle is very cheesy and has a sweetness from the onions, another delicious side. The portions here are generous and you will not leave hungry. 5 Star for Service and Quality of food read more

I finally made it to Leavenworth this past weekend and after browsing a ton of menus, I landed on Colchuck's and I'm so glad I did! The restaurant is located on Front Street which was within walking distance from where we were staying, ultimately making it an easy, convenient, and relaxed choice for dinner. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Sunday evening and were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. I later realized they have a popular happy hour that ends before then...note to self for next time!! Despite missing that, the experience was still great! Our server, Danielle F., was friendly, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu and even the surrounding area despite only recently moving to the PNW. She made some great suggestions and checked on us frequently without being overbearing. I started with the Pretzel Bites, which I expected would come out as an appetizer/starter, but they were delivered alongside our entrees. Not a dealbreaker, just something to note for those hoping to space out their meal. For my entree, I ordered the Weinerschnitzel and it was fantastic. The veal was incredibly tender and the combination of brown butter, arugula, lemon citronette, shaved parmesan, and capers added the perfect contrast of richness and brightness. Every bite was incredibly balanced and flavorful. The sage spaetzle served on the side was another highlight and I certainly could've eaten an entire bowl of it on its own! The ambiance was cozy and slightly dimmed, perfect for a chill dinner with friends or a more intimate date night. Prices felt fine for the quality, portion sizes, and location. My only disappointment was that they had already sold out of oysters by the time we arrived. I was really looking forward to trying them but I guess that just means I'll have to come back earlier next time! Overall, Colchuck's was a memorable part of our Leavenworth trip and I'd absolutely return - especially for the schnitzel and spaetzle combo and of course to try the oysters! read more

Colchuck's is easy to miss in downtown Leavenworth as they are located on the second floor with just a flight of stairs that takes you up. But it's so good, you must not miss it! They are mid street just past the gazebo. Take the stairs up and the main dining room is to the left and some 4 tops on the other side face the street with beautiful views of downtown. Colchuck's is family friendly with a nice open layout, but there is bar area for 21+ too. The full many offers several types of schnitzel and all are fantastic. I tried the jager schnitzel with spatzel and cabbage and it totally hit the spot. Kids menu is reasonably priced and had options they liked. They have a good beer list and make nice cocktails too, especially some hot ones to warm up after a day out in the snow. The servers were kind, the hostess went out of her way to show our kids a great view of the holiday lights downtown. Definitely recommend this as a great place to grab some awesome schnitzel or as a family friendly restaurant in downtown Leavenworth. read more

We are visiting family in Washington, and decided to visit Leavenworth on a day trip. We visited Colchuck's for a quick beer and snack when we arrived in thr area at 1pm on Friday, December 27th. This spot is located up steep stairs, and is a pretty good size restaurant. We were seated quickly at the bar and greeted by the bartender, Eric, who was super friendly and attentive while we were there. He asked us about our visit and got us our beers and put in the order for the Bavarian pretzel. The Bavarian pretzel was enough for 4 to share! It comes with 3 sauces and my favorites were the beer cheese and stone ground mustard. Eric ended up leaving and introduced us to Jessica who was taking over as bartender and even more wonderful! We were talking with her for a bit and she was fun and knowledgeable about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and its definitely a must visit for a quick bite and some beer!!! read more

Came here for dinner on a busy Saturday and got seated within 20 minutes. Our server and hosts were super nice and service all around was great despite how hectic and busy the town was. The overall vibe is cozy. We ordered some drinks and they weren't very strong and we could barely taste the alcohol. The sausage sampler was alright. And the schnitzel was pretty thin and nothing too spectacular. read more

Colchuck's - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

On Sunday night the week before Christmas, Leavenworth was absolutely packed. My group of 5 called several German fare restaurants and were told the wait would be a couple hours. Colchuck's also had a couple hour wait, but luckily they had space in their bar for all 21+ groups and seated us right away! The menu was a bit expensive, though I was pleasantly surprised with the generous servings and how delicious everything was. I ordered the jager schnitzel. Sadly, it doesn't come with spatzle but they did have a side order option which I ended up ordering. The schnitzel was $25 alone, and the spatzle side brought it to $35. My meal was absolutely delicious and nostalgic of eating German food in Leavenworth as a kid. I was also pleased to see that the spatzle side was very large. It could easily be shared as a side between several people, I brought leftovers home. My sister ordered the braised brisket and was raving about it. Overall, Colchuck's has great German food, but is quite expensive. Though Leavenworth in general is pretty pricey, I would guess most restaurants in the area are the same price range. read more

Colchuck's - Demi baguette and herb compound butter, truffle fries - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

So, this was a lot of fun because wow the Leavenworth food scene is finally getting somewhere! We wanted a traditional schnitzel made of veal and not pork and we found the perfect spot. So we went at an odd hour but caught the end of their happy hour and so glad we did. The place is actually quite big, we were seated away from the bar near the windows were we go to see the beauty that is Leavenworth, service was quick and friendly. Lets talk food! Truffle fries 4/5 these were on their happy hour menu and were delicious as we dug into them as a little drizzle hit downtown Leavenworth, it was a great cozy vibe. I got the Weinerschnitzel 4/5 and it was awesome, I believe it's the first time I tried it and wanted a little more sauce or something to bring the spaetzle together, but hubby explained that is the traditional way of serving it. We also ordered the Hunterschnitzel 5/5 which was a chicken variation that had a miso mustard cream sauce, honestly both dishes were great and I would absolutely recommend you come here read more

Absolutely obsessed with this restaurant! The food and service are spectacular! Our server also gave us the best suggestions. The Thaischnitzel was insane!! I will be dreamy of this dish forever, I loved sauce so much. The harvest salad and smashed potatoes were good too! I just wish the smashed potatoes were just a bit crispier. They did bring us out a truffle aioli and man, was that good for the potatoes! read more

First time trying Jagerschnitzel and I ate it all up! It's like a chicken Kari's but with gravy. Food tasted really good. I will say that for a Saturday in Leavenworth they were pretty busy and we had to wait about 15 min for a table of 3 so keep that in mind when you're thinking about where to eat. There's also a good deal of stairs coming up here, not sure if there's an elevator option so also keep that in mind. Ambiance was pretty lowkey. I liked that because all our tables were kinda spread out so you can hear the person in front of you. read more

The food, service, and ambience were all a solid 3. Nothing stood out to me at all because everything was lacking in some way. If you like German food prior to your visit then maybe you would think different but my expectations were not met based on the reviews I read before coming. Everything was just alright. Server did not know anything about the menu and was thrown off by simple questions regarding the menu items, and was not attentive throughout our dinner. The best thing was probably the sausage platter. I ordered a lamb/beef burger and it was just gamey and lacked flavor except pepper. It tasted like slightly smelly meat doused in pepper. I also don't think the other components meshed well. The tomatoes were just falling out everywhere and just made it mushy. read more

Cute little place with traditional German fare (and a few Asian inspired items). We went for the traditional dishes - veal schnitzel (served with arugula and lemon - very refreshing) and red cabbage. Cabbage is cooked with the mulling spices and it was amazing. They have rotating cider in tap and I loved their current selection - lavender! Not overly sweet, but hint of honey flavor in the tail note - lovely pint. Service was warm yet attentive, not overly catering - it was just right. We visited Colchuck's on a busy summer weekend, but we were not rushed to finish enjoying our evening meal either. Reservation is highly recommended (especially during the peak season) if you want a great view of the town. read more

Food was delicious. Happy hour food was plenty for me. I had the schnitzel, and arugula salad. The Happy Hour menu changes. The server/bartender was exceptional, friendly, and also deftly dealing with a boisterous group of drinking friends. I asked for something hot to drink- with a little alcohol. Nothing from the menu but he made me something which I greatly appreciated. It wasn't a "little" alcohol however- I will sleep well. It's clean, well lit, woodsy decor, windows, casual and pleasant. There are several stairs to get up to Colchucks in case anyone has knee issues. We had an excellent experience. Thank you for exceptional service and tasty food! read more

It was a girls' trip and we hiked Colchuck Lake a 9 mile hike! Afterward, we had to stop by Leavenworth, and of course, it only made sense to eat at a restaurant called Colchucks . We got seated right away and ordered their huge 8oz cheeseburger and mountain margaritas. And we made it to happy hour which was $5 off cocktails! The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the service was great. Definitely coming back! Thank you! read more

The German dip is the best item on the menu but it's only served at lunch (this should be corrected asap cause it's too good to only have at lunch time). Overall the food was good but the the German Dip is the best thing to eat in the entire town! Service during our first visit was top notch. During our second visit it was far from top notch which is odd considering we had the same server (male bartender). During our second visit an item wasn't brought out with our meal. My wife asked for it and the bartender apologized then retrieved it and set it in front of my wife firmly and gave off some bad vibes. Then after we ate we sat for a bit and finally the bartender came back around and my wife asked for a check. Once again the bartender reached past me and our other guests to slap the check down in front of my wife. Middle of the table or to one of the men would be preferred. If you aren't sure where to set it try asking next time. Overall this is a great spot maybe more so for lunch than dinner. We had hoped to watch Sunday night football in the bar since we saw they had a tv on our prior visit. Upon arrival we were told they didn't have a TV even though one was hanging to the right side of the bar. Maybe they meant it doesn't work or they don't pay for service but they do have a tv. Either way would be 5 stars but due to rude service I'm going with 3. read more

Climbing up the stairs was no problem at all. I was here to try my 5th Jaegerschnitzel of my trip; the review is mixed. The cutlet was tender, well-breaded and easy to cut, and the demi-glace was also served with mushrooms... but not enough mushrooms. No spaetzel, no cabbage, and it cost me $7 for 4oz of extra demi-glace - wow! The service was attentive, but the dish doesn't give enough value, compared to other places in town. read more

3.5 Stars. Spot serving German fare in downtown Leavenworth. We tried: Pretzel ($10) - this was fine Sausage Platter ($19) - The spatzle with the mushroom cream sauce was a winner. I didn't get to try the sausages. Reuben ($18.5) - Delicious and filling, but was also oddly sweet Cute, cozy interior. We were given a booth near the window. Staff was so kind and cheery. read more

First time we are coming here since the remodel. We were looking for something slight different than others but we don't want bar food. We found the menu offers some fusion German cuisine. Sounds very interesting and we decided to give it a try. We did not disappoint. The Thai chicken schnitzel comes with two pieces of chicken cutlets. Peanut sauce just like eating Thai food. It was done perfectly. We also tried the rock fish schnitzel. The portion is not as big as the chicken but it is so refined the tomatoes side cooked just right and balanced between sweetness and sour. They also serve traditional schnitzel and other dishes. They all sound good. Really hard to choose from. The remodel looks great. I think it is classy. The hostess and the waitress are very nice to us. We will definitely come back next time in town. read more

Located upstairs above Stein's across from the main town square/ Front Street Park. They have burgers, sandwiches, German fare and some appetizers. You're pretty much limited to burgers and sandwiches here so do make sure your party is aware. I had the "Le Royale" specialty burger ($23) which came with a 1/2lb total of Kobe beef patties (sourced locally from a ranch in the Okanogan Washington region), melted brie, bacon jam, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and a balsamic glaze. The burger was out of this world delicious with the heaping of ingredients; a mix of sweet and savory. It did taste better than it looked. They could have used different breading for the buns, but I digress because the burger DELIVERED. The white truffle aioli sauce used the dip the crunchy fries was unique. We rounded off by sharing a Bavarian pretzel served with Beecher's Cheese Sauce. It came out piping hot and was so fresh and glazed perfectly. I was comforted immensely and triply with the addition of a cold German Pilsen in hand to wash all that yumminess down. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon at 1pm which was a godsend because we were ravenous! Cannot recommend a post-hike burger or sandwich here more! I was grateful they were open when they were on Sunday for our exit from the wilderness, but disappointed to learn they were not open on Monday-Wednesday. They have the most unique goat graphic memorabilia which was priced fairly and, unfortunately, is not available online. Sad to have missed out on this merchandise! Colchuck's, like many Leavenworth businesses, pay homage to locations within the Enchantments. As such, the business is named after the famed Cholchuck Lake which is located at the base of Aasgard's Pass. You will find many a mountain goat near the upper portion of this lake especially near the boulder field before the pass hence all the goat memorabilia! DO wander up the steps here not only to enjoy a burger, but to grab the most unique merch in town! read more

We had a short wait but were seated relatively quickly in regard to the busyness of the weekend. Opted on some schnitzel and some clam chowder as well as a pretzel. Portions were fair and food wasn't bad. Prices a bit high, but that's every where in Leavenworth really. Schnitzel gravy tasted bacon-y, the spatzle was a bit bland. Pretty basic German food for Leavenworth. Clam chowder had good flavor and consistency, but could have used more clams. Pretzel was good. Nothing really stuck out about the place. Ambiance was pretty casual. All in all, just okay. read more

Colchuck's - Bavarian Pretzel - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Let me start by saying staff was amazing and the ambiance, sitting on a little balcony watching the events, was wonderful. THAT being said... The food.. buddy.. no... First off, the schnitzel... Had this weird teriyaki flavor and you did not really get anything besides the Jager schnitzel. Like, I eat at my local German deli frequently where the woman serving you is using her grandmother's recipes. So maybe I am spoiled, but this just wasn't good! My wife had a hamburger and fries, that was good, but the German good just wasn't German, no slaws, no potato's, no spatzel, no red cabbage... I think they really need to just go the other way and be a burger bar, I would rate them much higher if they did. read more

We came here on a weekend evening and the wait was short, around 5-10 minutes. The hostess and our waiter were all kind and helpful. We ordered the bbq chicken sandwich, Nashville chicken sandwich, and the original bratwurst, all with fries. The food was pretty good but there were a few things that were not as good. The bbq burger, which I substituted chicken in for, could have used some more sauce. Like the Nashville chicken sandwich, there were two chicken Patties, although on the thinner side, it made the sandwich feel much bigger than it should have been. Because only one patty had sauce on it, the other chicken patty tasted bland. The fries were really tasty and fresh. Apparently the Nashville sandwich had too much hot sauce in it. My partner enjoyed his bratwurst and especially the mustard with seeds. read more

Colchuck's was really good, and we genuinely enjoyed our visit. My wife and I split the brisket, which was delicious, and the drinks were easily the highlight of the experience. Everything we had was well done, and it's definitely a place we wouldn't avoid going back to. That said, with so many great dining options in Leavenworth, it's not one we'd feel compelled to prioritize on every visit -- more of a solid, reliable choice than a must-stop. read more

The ambiance is very nice. The staff are wonderful mostly. One man was walking around on his phone a lot. The Brussel sprout appetizer was awesome! The chicken schnitzel was not good!

If you have been to Leavenworth anytime around Christmas you know that getting a seat at any of the popular restaurants is a fight . we tried a few and then came in to try our luck here -luckily they just had a table of four open up and we were seated immediately. The ambience is very casual but has a cozy small pub in a village vibe . The place was extremely busy but they ensured to check up on us multiple times and gave suggestions and recommendations when we asked for it . They have a wide selection of Pacific Northwest and coastal craft beers and ciders, as well as a variety of German and European ones. We got a stein of couple German Beers and cocktails and loved them all . The food was delicious ,greasy and just the thing we needed on a cold cloudy day . The staff was just a joy to be around -they were sweet , accommodating and despite being slammed with customers ensured we had a great time . read more
