    Pretzel & Beer Cheese ($11)
    Wendi K.

    Underground, low key spot in downtown Leavenworth. I ordered takeout from here. Pretzel & Beer Cheese ($11) - giant pretzel, I wish they gave more beer cheese but it was delicious. Cup of Soup ($5.75) - I got the Ham & Pea Soup. I liked it :) Came with a roll, butter, and crackers.

    The Banger ... :/

    It was a cold day so the idea of a 'Soup Cellar' sounded amazing... after looking at the menu we realized that this place only has 3 soup options and then a chefs choice... we settled on 'The Banger' which was advertised as a German sausage with melted swiss cheese on a hoagie roll. It was subpar- what we received was a greasy ballpark quality hot dog with a slice down the middle that they shoved swiss cheese into. The workers were very friendly but the food was not worth the visit and we would not recommend this place if you're looking for authenticity.

    We have a favorite restaurant in Leavenworth but we thought we'd try something different this time around. We walked along Front Street and chanced upon The Soup Cellar. The place is located in the basement, but is well-lit and busy when we walked in. The staff was welcoming but when it started to get really busy, service went downhill. The food was okay (nothing to rave about). Fish n Chips were good, but disappointed with the sausages. This restaurant is great for families. Too bad we were done with our meal when they told us about their pretzels. Maybe next time.

    About a 1-1.5: While we were roaming around Leavenworth, we decided to give The Soup Cellar a try for lunch. The menu offers burgers, brats, sandwiches, prime rib, baked potatoes, a salad bar, chili, and various Bavarian plates. A few things caught our attention, such as no other patrons were choosing this place to dine-in, and the place itself was a little dingy and had a funky smell. I think we should have saw these as signs to change our minds and find another place! We sat in one of the booths, and we ordered the following: +a Mushroom and Swiss Burger +a Sausage Sample Plate +White Chili with Chicken +and, a Reuben The food was just not great - they were either soggy, had no seasoning, super bland, came out room temperature, or just inedible. The chili, which I was looking forward to try, tasted like a combination of bad cream of mushroom with shredded chicken and milk. It was super thin and watered down. Eeks! Service was also spotty - we were never checked upon, as we were missing beverages, silverware, condiments, etc. It was just a pain. I wished we would have gone to another eatery, but, at least now we know not to return! +avoid the food +spotty service +funky odors

    Bland sausage platter with a dinner roll (not brotchen), average sauerkraut.

    This restaurant is searching for its identity while trying to serve substandard food. It's an odd mix of American/German food served on Mexican style food dishes of the 1990s. We ordered a sausage platter and a german beer. Disappointed to see my German beer served in a BudLight glass. Food was of poor quality and nothing inspirational. Walls are awkwardly covered in American dollar bills as decoration. Felt the food was very overpriced, food was of low quality, and the design/atmosphere of the place was quite boring. Avoid this place until they redo numerous parts of this business.

Get your base bratwurst, pick your add ons and choose your condiment. Big bob bratwurst is a must get. Really delicious with good flavors and perfectly cooked. You have the option to do add ons on the bratwurst. We liked the caramelized onions but there's option to add on beechers cheese, cream cheese, or chili. The condiment section is insane. There's 20 sauces and over 10 kinds of mustards to try from. We loved the garlic aioli and smoky garlic/onion mustards! But so hard to pick a favorite out of them. Must add on the apple cider sauerkraut and relish. Great ipa selection as well. Good vibes and plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant.

Since we had to make the almost 6 hour trek home the next day, we went for an early dinner and were the first party in. Service was kind and quick! Everyone was super friendly. Only thing is with it being just freshly opened for the day, it felt a bit like we were intruding on the staffs prep time - no one made us feel that way there was just a lot of work and chatter going on. I assume with the name Mozart usually there's some form of music (I would assume classical) that maybe just hadn't been turned on yet. But no bother. Food was fantastic. The fondue is not to be missed - the sausage and broccolini were clear standouts with this dish. I got the hunters schnitzel which was great but my husband got the Käsespätzle which is one of the absolute best things I have eaten out in a really long time. Like an oniony cheesy spatzle Mac and cheese. YUM. Should we be back in the area, we would go back again for sure!

Unfortunately, the restaurant was already running about 45 minutes behind and no one communicated this to the long line of guests standing on a steep staircase waiting to be seated. Given that the evening was reservation-only, it was surprising how unprepared they seemed for the exact number of people they knew were coming. The space itself is quaint and charming, and the food was reasonably tasty once it arrived. But the service left a lot to be desired. The hostess was uncommunicative and initially tried to seat us at a shared table in the middle of heavy foot traffic. When we asked about an empty private table that had been sitting open the entire time we were waiting, we were told it was for "VIP" guests. Our server seemed overwhelmed and not very attentive. She had to ask for and repeat our orders multiple times, still brought the wrong dish to one person, and served three meals while the fourth person in our party waited another 10-15 minutes for theirs. When we asked about the delay, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. Overall, it was disappointing. The restaurant has a lot of charm and potential, but the lack of communication, organization, and basic hospitality made for a frustrating experience--especially on a night that was clearly planned around reservations.

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 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.

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.
