There was a long wait to be seated and the server didn't bring out one of the drinks ordered. I ordered the le royale burger And overall the burger didn't have much flavor. The fries weren't quite as crispy and the sauce didn't really taste like much. The weiner sampler was pretty good, so that might of been the play. I did try a bite of my buddies brat and it was very good. The bacon jam came through on his dog a lot more than the burger. read more

This place was amazing. Our server/bartender was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food and cocktails far exceeded our expectations. Our table was great for people watching above the town! Highly recommend the various schnitzels and spaetzel. Happy hour is a really good deal! 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

Amazing service, great atmosphere and music. Elevated German food with a spin on it. Reasonable prices and everyone was really nice. We came in to dodge the freezing cold and ended up having dinner and a wonderful time. Our bartender was Kryn, and was so sweet kind and attentive. Will definitely be back when in town again! 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". The service was inconsistent, varying depending on the staff. The space was nice and well-decorated, and it was less crowded compared to other places. read more

Yeah it was one of the more recommended places in town and we decided to go to I 1st tried the same as you would expect, german food... For the price I would just not that amazed by it is good not great quality and portions arent that huge and over all I wasn't super overly impressed. I mean it was a pretty price for what we got. Went back a second time with my sister and decided to go with something not traditional and got myself I hamburger actually to and they were really amazing. So amazing them fast I forgot to take the photos before eating the both. In total we tried the peach pineapple Burger and the accardo bacon Burger I would definitely recommend at half the price of schnitzel all to go with the good old American. Call you all now you won the war because our hamburgers read more

Our server was very friendly. Had a pretzel with cheese, delicious! Also had schnitzel and the portobello sandwich. Very good and filling

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 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. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated it! read more

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. The entire wait staff was amazing and so was the food! Definitely try this place out! I forgot to take pictures because we were all starving but the portions were large and filling! read more

My 1st time to Leavenworth so you kind of have to eat at a Bavarian styled eatery right? This is during phase 2 lockdown mind you so no large crowds and this was take out only! Stuff tried German pretzle with beer cheese: nicely glistening with a fine sheen of butter and the the right amount of pretzle salt. Currywurst with fries: a bit of a disappointment and i am kicking myself for this impulse buy. The smallish portion of wurst tasted like sliced smokey links. I am no expert on curry wurst sauce but i liked versions i have had elsewhere Jager schnitzel: the pork schnitzel was okay. I think the take out container didn't help as it was not as crisp as i would have liked. The mushroom gravy helps a bit. People there were really nice and helped direct me into the place for food pick up to get through all the street closures in place for social distancing. read more

Make your way up to Colchuck's it's well worth it! We wanted to sit on the patio with our dog so we visited the hostess out front. When you sit on the patio you have the option of heading upstairs to Colchucks or downstairs to Stein. Stein had a line from the bar all the way out but when I headed upstairs there were two people in line and I quickly got a large beer. Pitchers and mugs aren't allowed outside unfortunately but they have large plastic cups. We ordered some onion rings and they were brought out to us so don't worry about having to climb back upstairs for your food! They were pretty good and a nice snack to share between 3 of us. I saw Stein had poutine though and I really considered waiting in line for some but it wasn't meant to be this time. Luckily the people up at Colchuck's were very friendly and fun to talk to. I had no idea there are goats in these mountains and I was loving their goat shirts. Be like a goat, walk upstairs for good beer and fun times. read more

Great drinks! The old fashioned was just right. The Rueben was one of the best I've ever had. The service was friendly and prompt.

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

OMG.... We so weren't planning on stopping here for dinner as we wanted to have Black Forest Cake and they don't have it (it was shockingly hard to find in tow which was weird) BUT... sooo glad the one place that had it did not offer happy hour. Soooo... we ended up here and I'm so glad we gave it a shot! First the Happy Hour Drink menu was Aaaamazing... as you can see we went a bit crazy with the Purple Rain Cocktail... to say they were great is an understatement... this was only half of what we had... and it explains why I forgot to take a photo of the Jager Schnitzel... which was great as well, the red cabbage and spatzle was delicious too. The pretzel wasn't the best in town but the sauce was great. We will dream about the cocktails until we return. Oh... their merch section is fantastic and I LOOOOOVE my sweatshirt and water bottle sticker... Jager Schnitzel read more

This place isn't bad - easily 4-5 stars - but... After being seated and greeted, our drink orders were promptly delivered. And that's all that was quick. Our server was friendly and courteous and attentive - well she wasn't really attentive to us...but she was friendly. Our meal (children's hamburger and the sausage platter seen below) arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes after ordering. Others near us had a much more expedient experience so hopefully yours will be too. Oh, did I mention when my platter arrived it had the wrong! sausage on it!! Honestly since my companion was finished with her hamburger I nearly rejected mine - but I didn't aa d it'll was DELICIOUS! Thanks goodness. 4 stars for the food. read more

Stopped for dinner here after a long day of hiking. Not very impressed. They had about 4-5 German beers and mediocre food. The spicy margarita I ordered was ok, not great. I give 5 stars for service though! We started off with beers, ciders and margarita. Brussels Sprouts, fire roasted bread and pretzels. They were all good! I got the Sweet Caroline sandwich with fries. The sandwich was huge! Didn't enjoy the filling in it though. Others in my group got the Seattle Dog with the impossible vegan dog. The kids got the marinara pasta from the kid menu with a side of fries and loved it! My two cents - the impossible plant based meat is so much like real meat that most vegetarians don't enjoy it. Would be nice to see a quinoa veggie patty or veggie dog or black bean patty. read more

This place is cute! I wish we were hungry to try the menu. I ordered a simple cocktail. The prices are a bit higher than the average bar in town, but the drink was just how I like it. The bartenders were nice except one gave feedback to the other bartender right in front of us which gave a "awkward" moment. read more

TLDR: go elsewhere. We finally decided to eat somewhere new this time in Leavenworth. We usually enjoy Andreas. But we landed here for outdoor seating and simple menu. Let's start with the service and the organization. You first climb up the stairs where they tell you to go to the patio attendant outside who will give you a number. We go back out, the guy looks completely clueless and tells us to just go up and say we got number 5 table. Then we go back up and they tell us to go inside and order there. After standing around someone finally told us that we have to order at the bar. Ok then! As we are ordering , the bartender is doing multiple things and rushing around not really paying much attention to us. Then we go back out to wait for food at our table. The food came out pretty fast. Kid hamburger was greasy and tasteless, fries were ok. The chicken tenders were very generic, like the frozen type that fast food places have. My husband was happy with the Bacon cheeseburger even though he said it was pretty greasy. I had the rahm schnitzel which tasted great but the red cabbage I didn't care for. The spatzle was disappointing, lacking any real flavor and quiet dry and boring. I wouldn't care to dine here again. read more

Colchuck's is, in my opinion, the best German restaurant in Leavenworth. Every dish there was elevated. We began with the deviled eggs--the best I've ever had. Deviled eggs with a little crem fresh and crunchy proscuitto on top, amazing. The cucumber salad was equally amazing. We tried two different schnitzels, one traditional, one non-traditional, and both were the best we had had in several days in Leavenworth. Our server was DJ, who also elevated service, being friendly and informative. It will be our go to restaurant on future stays in Leavenworth. read more

One of the many food establishments in Leavensworth serving German food. Was pretty busy for lunch on a weekend, which is no surprise given that large number of visitors that were in town. They have seating outside on the street. The main indoor area is on the second floor but is not open because of COVID, but there is a small balcony with two small tables that was open, and I took one of the tables. The menu is smaller than usual due to the pandemic, but there are a couple of burgers and German dishes. I got the sausage platter that comes with sauerkraut and spatzle. The platter includes choice of 2 sausages. Out of the plate, I think the spatzle tasted the best. The sausages were decent, but nothing really noteworthy about them. It was like $20 for the platter before tax and tip. Not cheap, but we are in a themed tourist town in the mountains. read more

We had just gotten into Leavenworth and had a serious case of the hangries. Most places were completely full and my tummy was quite rumbly. Luckily this place had space for us and was able to seat us as soon as we came upstairs. There is one main dining area and then we were seated in a long side hall with windows facing out to the street. It's a small little place but quite cozy and Bavarian themed. Our server came over and took our drink order. We had a few issues with getting what we ordered as first the cider the husband ordered was out and then my holiday margarita arrived without amaretto and we had to ask them to remake it. It took awhile to find our server to order and when we finally did we put in for a peach burger (prepped gluten free) and schnitzel. Once it arrived everything was averagely good. The husband said the schnitzel was ok but missing out on the much needed crunch factor. My burger was a good burger but I couldn't taste any of the peach flavor that it was named after. We got our bill and were charged for the cider they were out of but the server was really nice and took it back giving us a 25% discount which was very much appreciated. All in all we enjoyed our friendly service even though they were quite busy which resulted in longer wait times and the food was so so. It's a cute little spot serving up the local German favs as well as some American classics, worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Our family of eight including two small children were seated upstairs at a spacious table. Service could not have been better. We had a variety of drinks, sandwiches, snacks. I had the wiener schnitzel which was delicious. Very recommended read more

Visited on a Sunday around noon. Like the atmosphere and location is great. They have live music and good cocktails. Service was on point and this place can accommodate large groups. There is also outside seating. I got a burger cause it said they were the best on the sign outside the establishment. I would rate there burgers more a 3 out of 5. It was ok, but nothing worth repeating. The bun was thick and firm. And a bit bland. My mom got a BLT and she liked it. It came on a Focaccia bread that looked good. She said it was soft and tasty. I would probably try their salads. It looked good. I would come back for a cocktail and music. Drinks were nicely executed. Appealing and tasty. read more

Well, we came back and things have changed. Dropped to a 3 star rating. The menu has changed and I think there is now a new owner and/or manager, because the service seems different, too. No wait when before the place was always hopping. The large pretzel I loved is gone, replaced by a small one and it was tough, not yummy soft and fresh with pretzel salt like it should have been and use to be. There are things on the menu now that are not German. Asked the waitress about the pretzel to see if there was a mistake, and she said that it was changed. The cool peanut butter/coconut spread is gone as well. Too much butter and oil on the wiener schnitzel for me. Just didn't taste great. Waitress was not interested in me and/or her job. Same decor, that hasn't changed. read more

This restaurant was just what we needed to get out of the cold and rain for a bit. Had a great selection for kids. And plenty of different choices for us adults. The yardbird was on the hotter side but good, however The sweet potato fries were AMAZING. My son also enjoyed the Fire-Roasted Bread dipping sauce. Our server was super friendly and let us enjoy our meal in peace. The playlist was amazing too. A lot of good 80s hits. Definitely family oriented and worth the stop! read more

Love the atmosphere, order at counter, food delivered to table. Lots of beer options. Amazing fall off the bone ribs, lots of flavor, nice crust, and not very saucy.

Stopped in at Colchuck's during a road trip across Washington. Ambiance was a bit of a let down but I could tell there were much better places to sit. We were the only table right in the middle of the restaurant, was kind of weird. The service was good. Our waiter was nice. He made some recommendations which we took his advice on. Sadly the food wasn't very good. For the price and the experience overall we were disappointed. Wish we had picked somewhere else but it was terrible by any means. read more

Wow. After reading a lot of reviews for Colchuck's - and then having experienced it firsthand - I have to deduce that either a) our experience during the second week of January was a complete anomaly, or b) a lot of reviewers of Colchuck's enjoy substandard food and horrible service. Hopefully, our experience was just an anomaly. I'll start with service. We sat upstairs, and besides the woman at the bar on which the bartender focused all his attention, we were the only table the whole time we were there. We never were offered refills of our water; our server checked on us only once. After it was clear that we were done and ready to go, we waited at least ten minutes - in an empty frikkin' room - before I had to walk to the bar to ask for our check. I hope you got her number, Dude. Our drinks were pretty good, albeit a little over priced. $10 for a glass of house wine seems steep. I tried to order 'Bob's Buttered Rum'. Our bartender replied, "We don't have that anymore." So I ordered the Reindeer Fuel, which was really good (contributing to the 2 stars). (Note: Two days later, Bob's Buttered Rum is still on their web site. I am always amazed at how inaccurate the web sites of businesses are.) Moving on to the food, I'll start with the positives: The house salad was fresh, and a good value. And the breaded mushrooms on the fried shishito peppers and breaded mushroom appetizer were really good! The Bavarian Sampler was unimpressive - the quality of the meats was good, but at $13, I was expecting more than 1/2 a 6" link of the three wursts. The Jager Schnitzel was a hot mess. The gravy was extremely bland. Maybe we should have tried a burger? But we were in Leavenworth, not Five Guys! There's a sandwich board/sign out front advertising Colchuck's, which reads "Worth the Climb." It isn't. read more

Colchuck's has a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. The time we went wasn't busy, which was during a weekday in the summer. Our group of 7 ordered light, but the food came out fast. The food was delicious, and various items were in each meal, which was nice! I enjoyed their beer selections and their giant beer mugs, so that's a plus. This restaurant is a little pricey, but we still had a good meal and time together. read more

Came here after a hike and it was one of the few restaurants that didn't have a wait. The food came out very quickly, which was great because we were starving after the hike. I got the bavarian sampler. It came with two type of sausages. Personally, don't think there's anything special about them. They tasted like regular sausage that it's not terrible but nothing stands out. I'm not a huge fan of the sauerkraut as it is very sour. read more

The vibe inside was great, but the food and drinks were very average. The schnitzel and brats were decent, but not worth even finishing. The beer was lukewarm and served in a pitcher that couldn't pour properly. The servers were rude and impatient, and even brought the wrong beer unapologetically. The overall experience left a very sour taste in our mouth along with still wanting a good schnitzel. read more

Went here for dinner and the hostess and waitress were both incredibly kind and friendly. They were quick to help with recommendations from the menu. I ended up getting the wienerschnitzle , which came with arugula and capers and it was so good, I'm still thinking about it. It's also in a very nice little upstairs loft that gave a really cozy and relaxing vibe. I hope to make it back again soon! read more

I came here on a Saturday night. There was live music being performed inside the restaurant, which was pretty cool. I sort of expected some German music or something like that, but that wasn't what was being played. It didn't matter much to me, but it did perplex me. I ordered the "Le Royale" burger, some onion rings, a bavarian pretzel, and a lager. The burger was fantastic. I loved every bite of it and was so sad when I had finished it! The onion rings were also crunchy and light, exactly how I like them. The bavarian pretzel came with a sauce I didn't care too much for, but I had left over mustard from the onion rings I was able to use. The food seems a little pricey, but I think the quality more than made up for it. I would for sure come back and try some of the other food here if I'm in town. read more

This was quite the disappointing experience. We came in because of the stellar reviews and was hoping expectantly for a wonderful dinner. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Of course, on our part we were confused on where the happy hour took place as it said it was from 4-6 (in the bar area - which we didn't know since it was not noted on the website). HOWEVER, what was interesting was that our server was very confused when we asked and brought another server - who didn't know either. They later on found out that they don't do happy hours during the busy season... We ordered the pretzel ($8.50) and Bavarian Curry stew ($18). Both were mundane and really was quite expensive for what we got. I'm not sure what we were supposed to expect from the Bavarian Curry stew, but it was a very confusing taste - quite sweet and couldn't taste the curry at all. read more
