The food here is pretty good, but the service may be the best I've ever had. Within a minute of sitting down our waitress was ready to help. After we placed our orders, I kid you not, our food was brought out in 5 minutes. Hot and fresh. Even the cash out process was as soon as we were ready. Astounding how efficient their restaurant was last night, highly recommend. read more

We were visiting Leavenworth today and walked into the first place we could find that didn't have a long line to put our name down for a late lunch/early dinner. Luckily, there was no wait and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is upstairs and the atmosphere is cute and cozy. Our server was really sweet too. I was looking for a schnitzel and they had three different schnitzel options. We ordered the jager schnitzel, rahm schnitzel, and the bratwurst platter. Unfortunately, both of our schnitzels were cold when they came out so we asked if they could be reheated. After they were reheated, our food was still not hot and barely warm which was very disappointing. The schnitzels were sadly very very bland, I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to it and even after adding the seasonings and drenching it in gravy didn't help much. Parsley spatzle was just okay, nothing special and bland as well. The bacon and mushroom gravy that came with mine was really good. Not the worst food I've had but definitely below average. Sadly not a place I'll be coming back to. read more

Colchuck's - Jager Schnitzel - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Colchuck's is not anything special, and I would not go back. We got the Bavarian sausage platter, Jager, and Rahm schnitzel. The food overall was bland, and the food came out cold. We asked them to heat it more, and it took another 5 minutes just to take our plate. Then it took another 10 minutes to bring it back for us to eat, and to our surprise, it was still not warm. The best part about this place is the lovely view outside their windows. You can get that at other places, though. Overall, the food and service were not very good. If you would like to eat cold and bland food with a nice view, this is the place to go too! read more

The food is not only beautiful, but elevated & delicious! DJ gave us great service & made sure our meal was perfection. If in Leavenworth, WA or nearby this is a must stop for a meal. You will not regret it...I promise! Both the Jager schnitzel with Portabella mushrooms and the Thai chicken schnitzel or absolutely heavenly. We give our meal a 10! read more

I wasn't all that impressed in my visit to Colchucks but it wasn't necessarily a bad visit. Maybe the puffing it was getting from the folks I was hanging with made my expectations a bit high. I kept it simple with the Bacon cheeseburger. I was told by a fellow Yelper; this is where I went wrong. I should've gone with a schnitzel or a sausage. Maybe they're right, but the place is called "Colchucks Burgers & Brews" after all. The burger is a single 1/2 patty with White American cheese, and a nice cut of bacon. The usual lettuce, tomato, onion with a squiggly squirt of comeback sauce. Now the comeback sauce is the best part of this burger, or any burger you can get I can tell. I'm not sure what is in it, but it was very good. The Burger was alright. An average tavern burger that didn't hold together that well. It tasted kinda dry to me and huge pieces of lettuce that I'm not a fan of much preferring it being chopped a bit. Tomato and onion were fresh though. Tried to get extra comeback sauce. Came up on the bill an additional $0.50. A surprise that pops up every now and then I'm not a fan of. Had the 'Effen Good TIme' Cocktail, also alright. Thought it would be a bit stronger. The setting is cool here and fits right in with the other restaurants in the area, including live music. The staff were pretty nice but the food on this visit came up a bit short for me. read more

First off, we did not eat here.We just wanted to come in and have a drink. We were met by an older lady, presumably the manager or hostess. Although the bar was full, she sat as all the way in the back.I asked about a table nearby and she said they're all reserved.This was a lie. As we sat there in a half empty restaurant, at the back. The bartender was nice and professional. The beers were cold and good. A little over price, but that's expected for tourist town. But what ruined the experience was the hostess and her condescending manner. She did the same thing to another group of African Americans. I've come to realize she probably doesn't like anyone except for her own kind. I know leavenworth is germantown , but this lady takes it to another level. read more

This is a really nice, yet casual sit down restaurant good for families or as a casual date spot. We had a large, walk in party if 10 and they were able to seat us without waiting on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 PM. Servers were young but knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. I had never had schnitzel before so I was excited to try that and spatzle as well. I had the Jagerschnitzel which is pork vs. the veal dish they also had on the menu, it was served on a bed of deep, rich Demi glaze with big chunks of Portobello mushroom in it & topped with freshly pickled red onions & flat leave parsley to brighten the heaviness of the dish. The spatzle was lightly crisped & tossed in a simple sage & butter sauce but also paired well with the Demi glaze. My husband had a brisket dip sandwich that was served on thick sliced, grilled sourdough bread. It also had some caramelized onions inside with the brisket which gave the sandwich good flavor. It was served with a small cup of au jus and your choice of fries or salad. My SIL wanted a salad & it was huge...mixed field greens tossed with roasted golden beets, goat cheese, carmelized onions & toasted pecans in a light vinaigrette with a strong Dijon mustard taste. It was pretty tasty & very shareable. My other SIL split a burger & fries with her husband, portions are ample. My nephew wasn't that hungry so he ordered the Bavarian pretzels and shared some with the entire table...you get 2 pretty good sized ones with 3 different sauces for dipping, white melted cheese, stone ground mustard & a pimento cheese dip...served warm. One of my daughters had a chicken schnitzel sandwich with no arugula or tomato confit & she was very satisfied, although I thought it was kind of tasteless...but good for kids. The rest of the kids had chicken schnitzel strips & fries from the kids menu and they were also very happy with their meals. Food came out fresh & made to order so it took about 15-20 minutes but it was so tasty, it was well worth the wait. They have a full bar too so my SIL's had some cocktails while we waited for our food. Colchucks was a perfect restaurant to come in out of the rain & get a hearty, sit down meal. I would definitely recommend this spot & return on another visit to Leavenworth. read more

Colchuck's - Cheeseburger with fries - German Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Visited Leavenworth for the past 5 days and decided to try out Colchuck's for our last meal before heading home and it was by far our favorite spot. Staff were very friendly and accommodating on arrival and our server Chris M was the best. Both friendly, with a dash of awesome awkwardness and knowledgeable of the menu with great recommendations. From photos I saw previously they have upgraded and curated their menu. They had a thaischnitzle i wanted to try but went with a veal weinerschitzel as I can't resist capers! Searched photos on yelp looked meh at best but the new presentation and version was great and I love the capers, sauce, and leaf forward salad accompanying the protein. The schnitzel was great, crispy but still juicy not dry inside seasoning was good too. The kaesespaetzle was also amazing! Had spaetzle at many other restaurants that looked like beat up moosh lol. But the noodles here were still uniform and the cheese pull on their cheesy spaetzle was insane. Had to use two utensils to wrap up and get the cheese off. Best part was the portions are big, he did say it was family sized portions but we both ordered a dish anyway and we had lots of left overs. Highly recommend they deserve a much higher rating. If I come back with the whole fam this will be a spot we return too. read more

We came here for dessert after our dinner at a separate establishment SUCKED. It was just the breath of fresh air we needed in terms of service, appearance, and menu. Alissa, our server, was amazing. Friendly, open, and efficient. We told her our woes about the dinner we'd just had and she gave us the rundown about the chef/baker who was going to make our German Chocolate Cake. I liked how instead of the coconut frosting on top the chef used a warm coconut topping instead. We also grabbed a beer. That's all we sampled but just the smiles on everyone's faces made this the highlight of our evening. read more

Yummy Bavarian style food here with lively music on a Friday night. We at in the bar at a table in the corner. We had to try the Schnitzel and sides so my wife had the Jager Schnitzel while I had the Rahm Schnitzel. Each was served with pickled red cabbage and Spatzle. My Rahm order had a bacon herb cream sauce while the Jager had a mushroom bacon gravy. I also had a large stein of German Kolsch beer. Great service by Kryn and overall a fun place to try. As they say, "it's worth the climb"! read more

I had the Le Royale burger, for my overall meal (no drink included and tip included) I payed almost $30! This is surprisingly pricey for a burger. I think the burger was one of their better options but I found it to somehow be more sweet than it was savory, I know, surprising for a burger. The fries were very stale, I advise anyone who's ordering from Colchuck's to get their sweet potato fries instead, they were very delicious (minus points for some much needed salt). The service at Colchuck's definitely brought up my experience here but I just wish the food was a bit better. My friends and I were seated near their window booths and I loved the experience that it brought to our time at Colchuck's, their seating options are great for friends and family! read more

Our first time to Leavenworth! It was worth the trip and the food here made it an even greater experience! Waitresses were very friendly!

Came here for dinner on Saturday and really enjoyed the views and the food. Our table was right next to the window looking out onto the main strip where you could see everyone walking and the live music they had playing. Our waitress was super sweet and made great suggestions. I enjoyed the Harvest Burger, and my husband loved the Kobra Kai burger. I highly recommend getting their onion rings as they are super tasty! Cool vibe and lots of fun goat theme items too! read more

Had a quick lunch at Colchuck's. Bavarian Pretzel caught my eye and of course a sausage is not to be missed in the German town. Bavarian Pretzel is served with beer cheese! Never had it and not sure if my palate appreciates this. It was neither good nor bad but not used to this kind of cheese. I asked the lady what it is and learned that it was made from a roux. Interesting isn't it? Classic Bratwurst : loved it! I especially liked the sauerkraut. It's made fresh and one can tell it's not from a jar from a supermarket. Yummy yam fries was a perfect complement. read more

This restaurant is on the second floor . We went in search of schnitzel....I ordered rham schnitzel and my hubby got jager schnitzel. I was truly looking forward to my $19.95 meal. The cabbage had some sort of cinnamon seasoning that was very offensive. The spatzel was green and bland. The schnitzel itself was not very appealing. Maybe it was the overpowering smell of the red cabbage, I'm not sure . I actually had to leave as I felt so nauseous. Service was mediocre...I had to get up and get water to refill our glasses as server did not. It was not busy so there was no reason for this. Overall...a HUGE disappointment read more

Colchuck's was a surprise for me. The menu looked like it would not be vegan friendly at all (pretzels ARE without butter and cheese,) but it also seemed like the atmosphere wouldn't be that pleasant. Totally wrong. First off BIG thanks for the hostess staff for enforcing the mask requirement of Colchuck's AND the state, with firmness and a smile (and free masks to anyone who didn't have one.) I waited for about 10-15 minutes for a table and saw at least 5 people who were rude to them. If they get 20 people an hour with that kind of an attitude they would see about 100 in an 8 hour shift. Big big shouts of praise to those ladies for keeping it professional and kind. I wouldn't be doing so well at the end of a shift! We needed a place to warm up, have a good drink and maybe carb up a bit. Colchuck's didn't disappoint. The drinks were delicious, atmosphere relaxing and the pretzels were carb-y. Oh and the rest of the staff was extremely friendly too. We had to use the restroom while we were there and despite it being an hour before their closing, it was clean and stocked. It was a nice place to warm up and wind down after being out in the ice cold on the town hills sledding! read more

The name may have changed, but the menu (and the quality) have not! Colchuck's, formerly the Bavarian Bistro, is a strong contender for the best restaurant in Leavenworth, and possibly our most-visited. Whether we're stopping in just for the bar, to enjoy some of their fabulous cocktails, or sitting down for lunch or dinner with friends, we've never left this place disappointed, whatever you want to call it. This last time around, we had drinks with friends the night before, then turned around and popped in right at opening, for lunch. Our favorite table is in the corner at the front of the building, overlooking the bustle of Front Street, but someone had beat us to the punch; we still ended up with a window table elsewhere, though. I ordered their Bloody Mary to start, because it comes with a pepperoni stick, among other things, and that's just too awesome to pass up. My wife had her favorite beverage, Snow White's Demise (a Hot Toddy-adjacent drink), that morning and the night before, as it is delicious and warms you up in a hurry! The only poison in this apple drink is the whiskey, and it ain't gonna kill ya, but it might make you sleepy, if you have too many! The menu is a mix of American and German standards. Colchuck's boasts they have the best burger in the valley, and lemme tell you, I've had the Cobra Kai before, and they're not just boasting: it'll Crane Kick you in the chops, and have you running back for more, like Johnny Lawrence running head first into Daniel LaRusso's foot! The Yardbird is another favorite of mine, with a massive cutlet of breaded chicken that's almost like a slab of hot and spicy Nashville schnitzel, which needs to be a thing on its own (Colchuck's owners, take note)! My wife ordered the other thing I wanted, the Huner Schnitzel, with its ridicu-licious miso mustard sauce! Between my sandwich and being unable to keep my hands off her schnitzel (wink wink), I left Colchuck's fat, happy, and in desperate need of a walk down Front Street, to burn it all off. Service has always been stellar here, despite one server's proliferate use of the word "dope" as a response to just about everything. Although, in retrospect, everything about Colchuck's *is* pretty dope, so maybe that guy is onto something! read more

Every year I come back and it's an amazing as I left it last time. I tried the Thai schnitzel this time and it is ridiculous. I'm just going to go make this thing at home every week! I told them they should make this into a schnitzel sandwich. Please come and try them out. read more

Traditional German food, done well. We shared the Bavarian Sampler (three sausages with mustards) and the Chicken Schnitzel. Both were very good, and came with good accompaniments.

Stopped for lunch during our Leavenworth visit. Cute place with excellent customer service and good food. We three shared the harvest salad with chicken breast added, pretzels with three dips and sausage charcuterie board and Randy also had a brat. The harvest salad was so full of flavor and fresh tasting. Loved it. I loved the grainy Dijon but the other two sauces with the pretzels were only ok. The sausages and cheeses on the board were good. Randy liked his brat and ordered fries with them. He had the truffle aoli with them and really liked it. Would definitely go back. read more

I would highly consider coming here again while in Leavenworth. It is one of the few places in Leavenworth that actually has good food for the price. They have a variety of beers and German fare, but also some just really good food in general. The place is pretty cute and the service was great. It doesn't seem super kid friendly, which I also appreciate :) A little more upscale, but not anything you need to get dressed up for- or you can! read more

As someone with a culinary background, I found the food to be pricey compared to its quality & taste. However, considering it's Leavenworth, I understand it's part of the "tourist experience".

Colchuck and the brewing company are in the same building, go upstairs for Colchucks! We ordered the Yardbird and the Impossible Caprese Burger for take out. The Impossible Caprese Burger was little dry. The Yard Bird had good hot sauce, pickles but no friend Jalapenos. Also, the Chicken cutlet was deep fried in an oil which left a bad taste with the fry and also the chicken was super dry and did not taste well!

The service and ambiance was great, but other than that the food we ordered we did not enjoy. You could tell that the umami Kobe beef burger was actually a frozen patty, so it was not worth the $21 it costs. The schnitzel was also paper thin and the carrots were not julienned and were just quarter cut carrot sticks. Would not recommend coming here for the food/dinner portion. Just come up for a drink and enjoy the ambiance. read more

This place used to be called the bistro. And they had a Jager schnitzel that was so good. It inspired us to make it at home, but unfortunately it has changed into something that is completely terrible and I didn't have the heart to return my plate the only thing that made me eat my food was it had some really fat mushrooms on it. It had a really sweet demiglaze which is not correct for this style of dish and you had to pay an extra $18 to get the red wine cabbage and the Spatzal. And the pork was so thin and so hard it was like the soul of my shoe !! Completely ridiculous. read more

We had the deviled eggs, Bavarian pretzel, oysters, Hunerschnitzel, Weinerschnitzel and all were amazing!

This was my first time coming to Colchuck's, and my experience is very positive! We were sat at a table with a nice view, which was a nice bonus. I ordered the Sojaschnitzel, which was delicious! If I had anything at all to complain about, it would be that it's quite salty. The Bavarian pretzel is also worth getting! A giant pretzel with beer cheese, stone ground mustard, and another dip which I thought was pimento cheese. The service alone makes it worth coming here.

I've been to Leavenworth many times but never visited Colchuck's until now. It was very busy in town, being the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, and we were having a hard time finding a restaurant that wasn't already packed. Luckily, they had a table for 4 available even though they were also very busy. The server was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave us great recommendations. The food came out very fast, which was amazing due to how busy they were. We had a couple of the special burger of the month plates as well as the Jeager Schnitzel and all tasted delicious! Plus we had some German beer to wash it all down and overall had a great experience. Despite being packed, it was not too loud and we were able to talk normally, which was nice.
