    Ok, the root beer is incredible. The beer list is solid and diverse, the food is great, service is friendly and quick, and it's a great location. Highly recommend.

    Always our first stop when we visit. Fantastic service with Crystal, ideal location & food is always so good! Their customer playlist is a loop of all my favorite music which makes our stop here that much more enjoyable.

    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!

    I loved the schnitzel burger here! Bratwurst burger was also really good. Our server was so friendly and attentive; overall we had a great time!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fries snap in half and are dry and hollow inside.

Even though you are in Leavenworth and there is a theme throughout the town, this place just feels like you're in another place. From the walk down the stairs to the entrance, to the decor, there's not a whole lot that was missed here. Our seats were tucked back at the back of the restaurant in a little nook that had only one side to the table. It was optimum for people watching. The servers were slammed constantly, but they did a great job of consistently stopping by and filling our waters with a smile. My wife got what she came here for. The schnitzel and spatzel. Let it be known that after our first venture here we decided that we needed to learn how to make schnitzel and spatzel at home. In that time I'm pretty sure we perfected it. The schnitzel this time around was good, but not what we remembered. The breading consistently fell off the meat which was a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, it was still tasty. One of the gravy's that we ordered(we ordered both), came out more like an au jus. Very thin with little flavor. Spatzel hit the mark and accompanied the schnitzel very well. I ordered a sampler a knockwurst, the seasonal sausage(it was smoked, that was the only description I got). I don't remember the name of the other one. Both the nameless sausage and the seasonal smoked ones were good, but not memorable. The knockwurst was the one I remembered the most, but not in a good way. It came out looking like a hot dog on steroids and just did not have good flavor at all. The sampler came with a couple slices of pickles, onion and mustard. The mustard did help, but I feel that a side of sauerkraut should have been apart of the presentation and would have elevated the flavors of the plate very well. We did also order a pretzel that was accompanied by a cup of cheese which we utilized to the fullest. While not as satisfying as our first visit, I feel that we will probably give this spot another go next time and hope for the same results we had the first time we came here. There were many other plates that passed us by and I would be more than willing to explore the menu.

The staff was excellent, humorous and attentive, we enjoyed a wonderful meal outside under a beautiful sky. Mom ordered potato pancakes and had a huckleberry mule.

We're in a little Bavarian town and no German music, I understand they used to have a band on Fridays and Saturdays play polka, and traditional music. What's up with that? As our dinner came toward the end, another outdoor restaurant had an overly loud duo, singing, contemporary music not such a great thing. Go to Ludwig enjoy the food,, enjoy the attentive staff, and you will not be disappointed.

We had a large group of folks so a good variety of sausages were ordered. The kids ordered the curry wurst and seemed to like it for the most part. For those that ordered the bratwurst we had a tough time eating cause the shell seemed to be incredible thick and hard to bite. Taste overall was okay, a bit on the salty side but not horrible. Just really hard to physically chew is where I struggled with. Also ordered the soup which was very broth and simple. Since there was potatoes I was thinking it would be a bit thicker but it hit the spot nonetheless. Overall impression, not a bad place with a nice place to take a rest. There are tastier places near by but I do enjoy the thought of supporting something more local. Just with the food wasn't so tough to consume.
