I'd give this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the experience I just had with my friends and family. Walked in today with my people 10/15/2026 around 5:30ish and off the bat server was rude and for some reason seemed annoyed at our presence. My friend was there before me and he as well said the waitress was rude. I was denied a drink solely because of my ID being vertical instead of horizontal. Which was no issue at all for it being their business at the end of the day. The problem I had was the sourness coming from the taller waitress serving us. There was no need for the scene she caused. Nevertheless, I understand this is a family owned and operated restaurant so not much for the server to worry about. Being open for 70+ years is impressive. This is for the new incoming soldiers/spouses or even newcomers to Leavenworth that're looking to try some new places. Seems like they like to cater towards the locals and regulars more than potential new customers. I'd suggest treating all customers the same regardless if it's their first time or not, seeing the way our waitress conducted herself with us comparatively to others near us was enough said. Maybe I'll bring my family back and give this place another shot. But for now, 2 stars it is.

The décor was an homage to classic diner down to the Coca-Cola wallpaper. I haven't had a frito chili pie like Bill's often. Growing up we called that version "Mexican salad" as it was more salad-like, but definitely not taco salad. I ain't complainin', mind you. I loved what I got. Wifey got the patty melt. She's a bit of an aficionado with those, so when she tells me it's really good, I know it must be. You don't often see pickles come on a patty melt. The ones that came on the side with this were thin, sharp and crunchy -perfect. Okay, this is going to sound stupid, but the crushed ice got me. You don't get a lot of crushed ice where we're at and it's something I had all the time growing up in OKC. Two guys in the kitchen were yuckin' it up along with our server and they had us dying at our table. Just really fun humor and light-hearted digs. It was nice to be around.

The train cars were packed to the rafters when we arrived, but the wait was well worth every minute. The moment we sat down, coffee mugs were ready to roll, accompanied by a basket of warm little donut holes delivering the kind of sweet, sugary punch every mid morning meal deserves. The drinks delivered across the board. I went with the Bloody Mary, served in a classic country jar with the perfect kick of spicy heat. I also snuck a sip of a friend's Mimosa toward the end of brunch, and it was equally refreshing and balanced. The food menu features plenty of creative twists, but the standout was the Smoked Chicken Eggs Benedict. The sweet and savory smoke profile on the chicken paired flawlessly with rich hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs. Across the table, the Reuben was a massive hit--I snagged a few of the accompanying housemade chips, and they were exceptionally crispy and well-seasoned. The Chef Salad and Black Bean Burger earned high marks from the rest of the crew, proving the scratch kitchen handles classic staples just as skillfully as their specialty items. Despite a completely full dining room, our server never missed a beat. He was fast, attentive, and didn't even flinch when an extra guest showed up late to our table. Terrific food, unique historic atmosphere, and top-tier hospitality. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely room.

The chips and salsa were good that we had to ask for more tortilla chips. I ordered a Fajita Taco Salad with chicken, plus I asked for extra fajita vegetables and my friend ordered Chicken Fajitas. The lunch entrees were delivered to our table without delay. I specifically asked for additional grilled fajita vegetables and I even said that I would pay extra, but I did not receive what I asked for. Instead I was provided with extra black beans in the Fajita taco salad. I did not request for black beans. I did not want to return the entree to the kitchen and I just dropped the small issue as I just wanted to eat lunch. The Fajita Taco Salad was satisfactory in taste, but the black beans mixed in the taco salad made the taco shell soggy. My friend liked the Chicken Fajita lunch entree and the portion size was decent. I will go back to La Costa Mexican again to try other entrees.
