I came for lunch... I had the Ruben sandwich for lunch. The service was great, and my server was friendly and had wonderful recommendations.. They have a small bar, and the food was delicious.. It was not too expensive, and the atmosphere is casual... Give them a try if you are in the area. read more

Love the decor! You're transported to a German lodge in the alps. The selection of beer was great and the food was yummy. The pretzels were perfection. The bratwurst had a great snap. The service was good. Not very attentive but good. read more

Gustav's - Bratwurst with added grilled onions - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Great french dip lots of fries meat very tender waiter very attentive nice ambience

We weren't expecting much from this place but this ended up being a favorite of ours and was happy to end our trip with this meal! We came for an early dinner on a Sunday night around 5pm. It was less busy and had lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I would recommend sitting outdoors as they have such a great view to enjoy your meal. The burgers were huge and ended up having to take both home for leftovers. The fries were delicious as well. The chicken wings were a little bit on the salty side but they were huge! Our server was so friendly and gave us excellent service. Would definitely come back here again if we're ever in the area again! read more

Very interesting place. We walked in around 4 pm for an early dinner and were asked if we had reservations which we replied "no". The place was nearly empty with many vacant tables so it was an odd thing to ask. The kind woman then said she would try to find us a table! lol About 5 minutes later we were seated in the half-filled room and had drinks and meals. All the food was OK, nothing to brag about or recall as memorable. Service was good and the place has a log cabin feel inside with all the wood interior. read more

We called before walking in, they said we wouldn't need reservations. He took our name and we said we would be there at 8:30 and he said that's great, see you then. We saw online that they were open until 9pm on Sat., we got there at 8 :22pm. As we walked in the door the waitress said "we are closing soon, you have 7 minutes to order, just so you know". We felt that was rude and we felt rushed, but asked for a minute to look over the menu. We told her that online it said they were open until 9. She said they needed to change that, which they now have. She didn't come back to take pur order after we asked for another minute to decide, so we had to put our order in with someone else. Not having been here since it changed hands, we were wondering if the food had changed. We were happy that the favorites we usually got were still on the menu, and ordered an extra basket of fries. The fries were tasteless and hollow! The potato inside was all dried up. We told the waitress, showed her the dry, hollow insides of the fries and to her credit she took off the extra basket of fries from our bill. However, she ruined all that goodwill by stating that "many people have complimented the fries today" My husband said his salad was good, my grilled cheese was good, but I left all the dry, tasteless fries. We were SO disappointed in the service and the fries! We grew up in Wenatchee, and Gustav's has been a family favorite spot to eat for many, many years. Their fries are always delicious, hot and crispy on the outside, tender potato on the inside. These were none of those. I doubt we will be back... read more

Stopped in during a Leavenworth visit for some burgers and fries. Huge place.... Wasn't expecting it from the looks on the outside. Great location at the end of the village. Customer service was warm and welcoming. Burgers were well seasoned. Bread was a little less desirable. Not many options for kids. Kids menu chicken strips were almost interesting texture and flavor. read more

Wow! I wish that I could give them 10 stars. The food was so full of flavor with every bite. We had a strawberry chicken salad, the pretzels & cheese, cheese curds, and I had the bratwurst burger. Our server Blake was fantastic, and very friendly. The kind of gem that you find in smaller towns, that you go back and tell your friends and family about. Eat here!!! read more

Went there with my husband in February we stopped in there for a prime rib dip I'm not quite sure what kind of meat was, but it certainly wasn't prime rib But it was certainly a prime rib Price! The aujus was lighter than chicken broth thin and flavorless And it came without a side . it was tiny and the price was unreasonable. We will never return. Really disappointing read more

We went to Gustav's for lunch. It's very cute inside. We sat in the bar. My friend ordered a spinach salad and beer. I ordered a BLT and without a word, the waitress says what type of dressing. No asking did I want fries or salad. I just thought it came with it. My friend loved her salad and beer. However, I did not like mine. I bit into a greasy fatty piece of bacon. When I lifted the bread, all I saw was fat. It was so disappointing. I ate only 2 bites. The salad had large pieces of wilty lettuce. The dressing tasted like it came from a bottle. When the bill came, I was charged $3.00 extra dollars for a side salad. A salad I never requested and only ate 3 bites. I was charged $20.00 for a greasy fatty BLT & a wilty salad. I overheard the waitress say, "they were booked for December". Beware people of what you order. You might get charged for something you didn't order. read more

I dined at this restaurant during my trip to Leavenworth and I was pretty disappointed even though the place was quite busy and ambiance was popping. 1. Starting with the food- We ordered: i) Pretzel sticks with cheese sauce : Super yum, came out piping hot with a unique cheese sauce ii) Chicken Ortega and Salmon Burgers : Below Average and priced way too much for the quality and taste P.S: a) The burgers don't come with a side of fries or anything- They need to be ordered separately b) We ordered the small french fries- Too dried out and chewy c) We asked for Chicken Ortega burger without the bacon and it still came with the bacon, which we realized after eating half of it - it was a bummer. We let the waitress know immediately and they dismissed the charge for the messed up burger. So that was some decent service I guess. But, based on the overall experience I don't think we will go back again. read more

Take my review with a grain of salt. I came with a large group of people and we only tried appetizers here. It may be possible they make some incredible burgers. We had several appetizers including sweet potato tater tots, fries, onion rings and fried mushrooms. In my honest opinion the appetizers were at best okay. Tater tots were surprisingly good. Everyone in the group tasted it and loved it. On the other hand all the other appetizers were too oily. They tasted decent but we were not expecting something so oily. As far as service goes we were served by a very sweet young lady. She really took good care of our order and totally understood that we were pressed for time. She did a fantastic job serving us quickly. read more

When visiting Leavensworth you will need to find a place that provides good food and drinks in a warm comfortable environment with a reasonable wait time. Gustav's is the place you will want to visit as it hits all the good marks with a wide arrange of choices to eat. Seasonal cocktails are out of this world whether it is summer or winter. Food is always hot and delivered with a smile. Wait staff was great everyone was. Give it a try - read more

The food was really good - the only suggestion I have is that they put lettuce and tomato on the fried chicken sandwiches! Everything else was great. Oh - and have some bottles of barbecue sauce around, not a cold container of one just pulled out of a fridge. The wait staff were friendly enough but they never did bring our check. We had to go find someone to ask for our check and we were never offered dessert. Our original waiter completely vanished; I think I heard someone say there was a party upstairs on their patio or something? Anyhow, this is all pretty minor, we'll be back again for sure, it's one of our favorite Leavenworth restaurants! read more

First time in Leavenworth. Arrived for dinner and were seated right away. Server was nice. I ordered the French dip with onion rings. The onion rings were very good. The French dip came on an untrusted hoagie roll. The roast beef was good but was served cold? The broth was good. It just seemed more like a cold sandwich? I ordered a summertime cocktail. Very good and a strong pour. My other family members enjoyed their meal. . read more

Cute and cozy restaurant with a great selection. As vegetarians, we were thrilled to see the beyond bratwurst on the menu. Drinks and food were really good. The best part of Gustav's however, was the service. Our waiter was genuinely friendly, checked in on us just enough to be present but not hovering. He was a delight. Will come back for sure. read more

Had the schnitzel burger. WOW delicious and the fries were very good. Friendly service with a clean and friendly atmosphere.

This place is your typical touristy themed family eatery with a log cabin feel on the inside. Our server was sweet and attentive, and it was a very busy Saturday afternoon. We got pickle fries, regular fries, schnitzel burger and a sausage. The pickle fries were not what I was expecting, not spears as described on the menu but more like shoestring fries. Taste was fine, just not what I wanted. Regular fries seriously lacked any seasoning, even salt. Schnitzel burger was delicious, and definitely the best thing we ate. Smoked sausage was tasty, got upsold on grilled onions but I would skip them next time. read more

Gustavs has had a special place in my heart for probably 40 years now. Whether it was after kayaking, the Wenatchee, hiking up to the Enchantments or just camping up Icycle Creek Road it was always the last stop to enjoy their fabulous burger on the open air deck looking at the mountains. So glad to see some things never change! read more

Service and the apps were great. Try the onion rings, the pretzel and beer cheese, and the sausage without the bun. So good

We were visiting the area for 5 days & wish we'd discovered this place sooner! Friendly, efficient service, great food & good prices especially for being a touristy area where prices are inflated! The Schnitzel Burger was amazing & don't pass up on the hand cut fries! read more

The Tap Rootbeer was amazing, get a huge container to get it to go! Remember to request 1 order of fries between several people, & come prepared to be full! Always great, always friendly, & always delicious! read more

We went here for an early (4 pm) dinner. We sat upstairs. Crystal was our server. Crystal was excellent. My wife and I ordered a Brat and a Weisswurst to share. The Brat was your typical Brat but the Weisswurst was really good. I told Crystal I was considering ordering the pretzel until I saw it was pretzel sticks. Crystal said, " they're so good that if you order and don't like them I'll take it off your bill." Based on that, I ordered them. My wife and I agreed; the best we ever had! I don't know why Gustav's has a mediocre rating. The Icecycle ale and the Paulaner Hefeweissen were good, too. If you go, hopefully, Crystal is working and you get her as your server. read more

Good beer selection and right temperature. The menu has just enough to find something you like. The food came out hot and ready to eat. The staff was great.

Yeah I really liked Gustavs. Lots of great beer selections and plenty of liquor. Really enjoyed the service here as well. It's a little spendy however I think that's just how it goes in Leavenworth. They could use a couple more TV's at the bar as well but overall great place. My burger was fantastic and whatever you do...order the fries with it. read more

Gustav's - Full bar and multiple taps - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Gustav's is a nice restaurant located in the center of Leavenworth, right at the beginning the Main Street. They accommodated our party of 24 people pretty easily in one of their dining rooms down below away from the main entrance. It was almost as if we had our own private dinging room. The server was very efficient and organized and knew the menu pretty well. Some of their stuff was cooked in a meat based oil/broth so some of our guests were unable to eat most of the food there. The burger I ordered was okay and the side of Mac and cheese was, to be very honest, straight from the Kraft box of Mac and Cheese. Same texture, shape, color, and taste. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their meals so not a bad choice if you have a large party but I probably wouldn't come here by myself and opt for a nicer place down the street. read more

the food was great, the server was a rude little punk. Second worst service I had all weekend.

Great German food with an authentic German restaurant ambiance. It has an extra warm an cozy feeling in the winter. Maybe its the fireplace?. Staff professional. read more

Arguably, the best preset sticks in all of Leavenworth. The beers are cold and amazing. I did, however, not like that they wouldn't let us leave our 6 month old daughter in her car seat. They made ua wake her up and take her out in order to eat for "fire safety" reasons. I argued well if there's a fire obviously we'd want her in her car seat. Much easier to carry and he head & neck are stabilized if we have to run. read more

In town on business and ended up passing through this quaint little community... Decided on Gustav's for lunch and it was absolutely the right decision! The staff were all extremely friendly and easy-going... Ambiance was pretty cool, traditional, Bavarian-Style Tavern. I ordered the Ham & Swiss Sandwich w/Long Cut House Fries... It was delicious, kind of a big portion w/6oz. of meat on the sandwich, but it was really good... My Boss ordered the Ortega Burger, it must've been good, he hardly said a word during lunch and devoured it pretty fast, Lol! I'd strongly recommend this place if you're ever in Leavenworth, WA you won't regret it! read more

The atmosphere was awesome and the staff were very nice and helpful. Very down to earth and helpful. I had the Pepper Jack burger, others had the Brat and NOC, reg cheeseburger, Mac and cheese, and all said they were very good. We had to purchase the fries separately, which I think is very un American. Everywhere you go and we ask those in our group, we always say we want a good burger and fries place. The 2 go together Joni and Potsy, ice cream and apple pie! In the end, the food was about 3.5 stars, price was set a bit higher probably due to the holidays. read more

Gustav's - delicious stout beer - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Ordered salmon sandwich. Everyone in my larty got the food except me. They told me they had to remake my sandwich because they dropped it. It took forever and when it finally came out, I was able to tell the sourdough buns, vege and sauce wasn't new since the buns were soaking wet from sauce and wilted(half cooked) vege sitting on it for too long. Salmon, though it tasted freshly cooked(hot), it was flavorless. Friendly service, but the waiter forgot to bring stuff we asked for... so yeah. Probably won't be returning even if I am in the area. read more
