2 for 1 burgers on Monday's. Great deal. I recommend the southern burger. Good spot for a drink to watch a game read more

The League Tavern is a gastropub. "Gastropub". That word is so 2010's. A decade ago calling yourself a "gastropub" was the coolest thing in the hospitality industry. Now, it is a lost artifact of another decade, along with Swedish House Mafia and Britney Spears. The League calls itself a retro reminder of the eating clubs of the 1920's and 1930's. It is pretty damm good as a gastropub. It would not really want to be an eating club of the Prohibition era. Menus in that era could be pretty awful. Mashed parsnips. Liver and onions. Greens that have been cooked to death. Tough steaks. Low quality lager beer. The Indian Puddings were all right. The fish was great if it was fresh. I wish they would bring back Welsh Rarebit. But the League sticks to a contemporary menu ... And I am glad they do. Their contemporary dishes are just great. I had a faro salad with grilled shrimp on top. The faro salad was everything I would want a grain salad to be. (I have had some awful tabboulehs and quinoa salads in my time.) The shrimp were completely lovely. Prices are high - but that is what comes with being a gastropub. The concept is: Pay more. Eat higher quality. The Lakeway market will certainly support the League in the prices it wants to charge. The selection on the menu - and for that matter the selection at the bar - is fairly restricted. Having a small menu is not a necessary correlate of being a gastropub. Some gastropubs offer you an expansive range of choices. But careful management of the menu choices means that each and every dish can be polished to a high degree of execution finesse. Practice makes perfect. My guess is that the League envisions itself as a neighborhood place - albeit a rich neighborhood place. Their customers are likely to be regulars. The regulars order their favorite dishes over and over. I myself like my bars and grills to be Cheaper, Funkier and With bigger selections on the menu and at the bar itself. So the League is not exactly my style. But what they do, they do well. They are expanding, opening more branches in more locations. They can do this because the League fills a real need in the Lakeway-Bee Cave market. If a Lakeway resident were to invite me to be their guest at the League Tavern, I would be happy to accept that invitation. Especially if they were picking up the check. read more

I placed an order online to pick up in the restaurant. The online ordering was easy. I scrolled through the menu, added what I wanted to the cart. I placed macaroni and cheese and brussels sprouts in the cart. Placed the order. I got a text message and an email of my recipe. 11 minutes later I got a text saying that it was ready to pick up. I walked in to the restaurant. It wasn't very busy. I waited not even a minute when a nice women came up to me. She asked if I was picking up an order. I said yes. And said my name, I was trying to get to my text message with my receipt, she already had my bag and was walking back to me. Super quick service. By the time I got home, Urg, traffic on 620, seriously!! The food was warm/hot, so I heated it up for a couple minutes in the toaster oven. The macaroni is actually big shells, and I love that cause the cheese gets inside of the shell and it's cheesy gooey. Cheese was fantastic. Really enjoyed the Mac. Brussels sprouts I feel were just steamed. They didn't have that chard crispy outside. Just plan steamed sprouts. My small meal was delicious. Hoping to actually eat inside and have a cocktail. read more

Was my husband and I's go to place to eat every week on our date lunches. Excellent options with great staff to help out with all your questions and a quick refill of your drink. Plenty of televisions to come watch the game at the bar or in a booth. Definitely recommend coming for one of their special events that they host as it comes with some different food options that makes it even more special! read more

I was in the area and a friend recommended this place; they told me they have a great club sandwich and that was all I needed to hear. New to TX coming from SoCal and getting a great club sandwich in SoCal is pretty easy but I haven't had great success here in TX so I thought I would give this place a try. I walked in and because it was early in the week and not quite lunch time, I had my choices of places to sit. Because I was dining alone, I figured the bar was going to be a good choice. The bar seems to be "sports" oriented with several flat screens playing some live sporting event. As a note to the management, one was an interview I'm guessing was with a sports figure. However, there was no closed captioning so unless you can read lips, it seemed pointless to have this on. And with all the games you could replay, just seems you could have shown something other than two people talking with no way of knowing what they are saying. I ordered the club but noticed it was served with "aioli" and I was VERY specific with the server that I could not have aioli. Seems simple... but I guess not. I received my sandwich and the bread seemed fried instead of toasted. I could be wrong but I would have preferred toasted. Fried toast is just too greasy. It came with a white cheddar cheese which I debated leaving on. I had no idea it was melted (not stated in the menu) and had I known it was melted, I definitely would have opted to leave the cheese off. A traditional club does not come with any cheese and this is mostly supposed to be a cold sandwich and cheese is just too much when it's melted. It comes with shredded lettuce like you would find on a taco instead of a crisp piece of lettuce. Because the lettuce was shredded, the lettuce was really soggy. The tomato was minimal but not as minimal as the bacon. Instead of strips of bacon, this was more like bacon bits you would fine on a wedge salad. And to really add insult to everything else... it had aioli on it! Despite emphatically asking for NO aioli... not even on the side, and definitely not on the sandwich, there was an overwhelming garlic taste which ruined the entire sandwich and made it inedible. I tried eating one quarter of the sandwich but it was simply revolting. Worst of all, when I looked at the bread, you could see where the aioli had been spread on the sandwich, but someone apparently later realized it was supposed to be without, and removed it. But what that person doesn't seem to understand... it's too late. Once you have put that on the bread, as much as you might try, you are not going to remove that garlic taste. It was almost as if it was intentional because I ordered something special. How hard is it to start over? Toast new bread and start over? But no... they had to use the bread that aioli had been slathered on and then they tried to remove it. This just screams to me how little they care about the food they serve and how little they care about their customers. I really don't know if this would have been a good sandwich if it didn't have the aioli because I really couldn't stomach another bite. And the pleasure of a club sandwich is all the crispness that comes with it. Crispy toasted bread, not greasy fried bread. Fresh crisp lettuce, not shredded wilted lettuce. If any cheese, it should be cold, not melted. And use some actual bacon, not little bacon bits. For a $20 sandwich, I was certainly expecting much more. On the positive side, the french fries were quite good and my server, Dillon, was great. I assume Dillon took the correct order since even though there had been aioli applied to the bread, it was removed. I assume it's the kitchen where the problem exists. Again, I came during a very slow time; actually there was only one other customer so they weren't overwhelmed. I was dining alone and ordered a simple sandwich and just asked to hold the condiment and they couldn't get that right. They weren't being slammed with dozens of orders and people lining up out the door to get in. So, it really makes me question the quality of the rest of their food. Can't think of any reason to ever come back. read more

Older part of Lakeway, this location is situated conveniently off of 620 S. First time visiting. Upon walking in, the place looked cozy with plenty of room for patrons. Slight smell of cleaning agent instead of the aroma of fine dining was a bit disappointing. No hostess when walking in but eventually came to our attention. The waitress was courteous and attentive during dining. I had the southern burger which was way way overpriced at $19 making lunch an incredibly expensive hour. With this said, the chef and cooks did execute the burger meat (thick medium) to perfection. Two negatives with the construction of the burger. The bacon was hard to bite through. Very strange. The fried onion strings were greasy and clumpy which I had to remove altogether. Side of fries were hot and crispy. The two slices of pickles in a cup was an odd duck. Yes, I will return to try many other menu items. Would I recommend, not really. The restaurant sort of straddles that fine line of good and me too. For the price, one might consider walking across the parking lot to Santa Caterina which is exceptional for Lakeway. read more

So, OK - the food here is just totally world class. My sister & BIL & I ate here tonight, and everything we had was flipping amazeballz. I had the Adult Grill Cheese, sourdough with avocado added & tomato basil soup. Delish. My BIL had the bone-in Pork Chop special, which came with tasty Brussels sprouts & he loved it. My sister had the shrimp lime salad, & she is north of her 50th decade, & she said it was THE BEST salad she's ever had. And she's eaten a lot of great salads. First-time visitors are offered a free chocolate dessert. Very top notch touch! The drinks were creative & delicious also. Unfortch, we are just in town for a wedding & can't come back; but if you live in Austin, this place is worth going out of your way! See my 4 pictures! read more

It's been a minute since we've been to The League, but I'm not gonna wait so long for my next visit. The coconut shrimp appetizer was REALLY tasty... hot & crispy (not sitting under a heat lamp) and the tuna tacos stole the show for me I'm a pescatarian & it can be challenging to find new & tasty options other than salmon (not that I don't love salmon, but sometimes I want something different.) The tuna tasted fresh, not chewy, cubed perfectly. Of course my daughter loooves the Mac & cheese. And their crème brûlée was a nice way to cap it all off. Our waitress, Olga, was super sweet & attentive. A+++ read more

The service was fast and burgers were good, however the chicken Diane was pretty mid.

This is one of my favorite pubs you can grab good food and GREAT cocktails! I've tried fried chicken, sandwiches, burgers, salad, mac n cheese, spinach cream, etc. and my favorite was fried chicken. It came with super crispy chicken, some biscuits and it's just SO delicious. I also love their cocktails, I always get long island iced tea and the one comes with cucumbers. You should definitely try this cocktail, it's really refreshing, just perfect for Summer! read more

3rd time to eat here. Food has been good not exceptional but good. Artichoke spinach was very good. Sat us in the loud bar. We went with it. lol Bartender was our waiter also. We sat in a booth. He did pretty good keeping up with everything. No complaints really. Just average. read more

For the past three or so years, we have been going to both the Cedar Park and Lakeway locations every few months and love both the environment inside and taking out togo. Nearly every time, we have left satisfied and glad we went. Unfortunately, this time was not the same. While we almost always get the burgers since they are fantastic, we decided to switch it up and I ordered the Truffle Honey Chicken Biscuit. I'm not sure if the photo on the site is a total lie or if they simply ran out of supplies and gave us kids chicken tenders but it was definitely a bit of a shock. Still going for the 4 stars since I've never written a review from all the previous times where we enjoyed our meal but was bummed after this most recent trip. read more

The League Kitchen & Tavern - Very Sad Truffle Honey Chicken and Biscuit. (Picture on left is from the online menu) - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

We used The League Kitchen & Tavern to cater for our professional women tennis sports event this past week. With all the rules and regulations that we had from the governing body of WTA, they were able to adapt and give us food that looked good and also tasted very good. They came to us onsite and set up and served and they were amazing to work with and very nice. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who caters for events. read more

The place was very cute ! The service was amazing . My server nick was so sweet and attentive . Definitely will be coming back !

I have eaten at The League in Lakeway for years and always loved their fried pork chop. I have raved about it and suggested this restaurant to others because of it. Last night I took out-of-town relatives there to eat specifically because of their fried pork chop. Two of us ordered the dish and BOTH came out overly fried to almost chocolate brown and so dry we could hardly cut them much less eat them. Plus, the mashed potatoes were dry and barely warm. We told the waitress we simply could not eat them and sent them back. She asked if I wanted them to make mine again and I agreed to try again. My relative opted for a salad (which is hard to mess up) - I should have done the same. Again, when the "new" fried pork chop arrived it was not much of an improvement and the potatoes were even colder and dryer. I ate a few bites and then lost my appetite. I will never go back to The League again nor will I recommend it. I don't know what has happened to this once great restaurant BUT it appears they have a cook that is seriously inexperienced or just plain doesn't care. read more

Stopped in for beverages and a quick snack. We visited the Tavern side. Lots of TVs to watch Olympics and some locals hanging out made for a great atmosphere. Our waitress Karen was awesome!!Gave us great advice on apps and specials. Beer was cold and cocktail was tasty. Food came out fast, hot and delicious. If the Hawaiian slides are still on the specials list....GET'M! I would recommend trying for a casual date or drinks with the guys. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Good service and food. Established restaurant. Convenient location. Dine in or carry-out.

this was our first visit and everything was wonderful! I had the meatloaf and my husband had the southern classic burger. they were both delicious and the service was perfect since it was our first visit, they gave us complementary chocolate cake and ice cream with powdered sugar coated nuts- It was the perfect ending to a five star experience. We definitely recommend this place! read more

We had the burger and the pork chop. Burger was over cooked as i requested medium rare and fried were cooked in old oil making them taste terrible. The pork chop came with about five full Brussel sprouts and the rest was leaves. Place is not worth the price for the quality of food. read more

The people that served us were super nice! Not to mention, their meatloaf bites were amazing. Would definitely recommend!!!!

The League Bee Cave has been one of our regular places to dine, however the last previous visit was one where we had horribly bad service, so we had not returned until tonight after 6 months or so. We brought friends as we wanted a casual but a very comfortable experience and it was their first visit. I just want to say the service by our server was good. Unfortunately the dining experience fell extremely short in multiple ways. First we ordered the Meatloaf bites and artichoke. While the dip was semi ok (you know people really do not find it delicious when there is almost half left on the plate), the meat-loaf bits were extremely bland and dry. The main course meals were not much better. Two orders of fish and chip's, a fish special and the grown up grilled cheese. The fish and chips were not very good. The fish was over fried and the batter tasted burnt and brittle, which also made the meat of the fish shrink and dry. The french fries were not very good either. Having worked in the food industry, I would say that the shortening used in the frying was old and/or not filtered or cleaned properly. Maybe this is why the fish did not turn out well either. The grilled cheese was just ok, however the tomato soup was described as tomato paste with sprinkled basil. Of all the main dishes, the fish special was one that did not have a complaint, but it also did not have a compliment either. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was after the meal, the manager stopped by to inquire how the meal turned out, so we wanted to provide honest feedback seeing that the manager wanted to know how his team performed. He listened intently and responded with a thank you for the feedback. Also, when discussing the meat loaf bites being very dry and tasteless, we were advised that they should have had a tomato sauce topping which we advised was not present of our order, as well as showing him the one left on the plate which no one would eat. What made it as the icing for us was that there was no offer to make it better or impact our experience by any means. Nothing but a thank you for the feedback. With this latest experience, I doubt we will be back to the League or any of the affiliated restaurants. read more

Lilly is the best server! She does a great job and has a friendly smile! Our friend needed help picking out a nice tequila and she knew what to do. Great potato skins I just wish the beer was colder. Fun bar scene, nice choices, another Ciola's winner. read more

Been a regular customer here since they opened. Usually a solid 3-4 star experience. Recent meal was a 2. Would be 1 if not for the friendly waitress. The food quality was bad. Two of us had the Brussels sprouts, usually broiled and seasoned to perfection. These were mushy with no apparent seasoning. Inedible. The burger was OK, but the homemade pickles are now thin, mass produced dills (still in a fancy metal cup though). Son got the anytime breakfast, usually a favorite. The "thick cut, sugar cured bacon" is now regular thin cut bacon. The eggs are smaller. And the biscuit came with a couple of tablespoons of jalapeño gravy (still in a fancy metal cup too). Wife got the grown up grilled cheese with tomato bisque soup. The cheese had an odd consistency. Seems like The League has increased prices more than most local restaurants. Subpar food isn't with it. Plenty of better options in the Lake Travis area. read more

We love Karen she's one of the best food here is great great location we enjoy the food enjoy the atmosphere close to home

Been coming here occasionally for years. Last visit, we went at a fairly slow time. TVs were very loud in the bar, so we opted for dining room, which had 2 servers and plenty of open tables. Took forever to get a waitress to give us water and take our drink and food order. Food was just OK; had the crawfish etoufee special, which was very bland, and beer battered fish. Asked for hot sauce and never got it until we were finished. The place has been around forever, and food and service has always been better than this visit. Their menu hasn't changed over the years, and it is comfort/home cooking food. Probably best to stick with the burger. read more

i dropped by for lunch since i work close by. i enjoyed the pork sliders and thought they were tasty. i couldnt try the drinks since i had to go to work, but i plan to go try one. the bartender joseph was exceptionally nice, and the manage brough some very good chocolate cake over since i was a first timer. read more

Great place for brunch on the weekends or lunch/dinner during the week. The food is always excellent. I love the fish and chips!!

I am a BIG fan of the League Kitchen & Tavern and my family enjoys it too! We love the new Bee Cave Galleria location and they have some fantastic outdoor seating! The service is always great and they offer a nice selection of craft beers on tap and a solid cocktail and wine list. My favorite dish is the Meat Loaf. My wife loves their deviled eggs and they have some gluten free options for her which is great because she has a gluten allergy. The kids usually get burgers and are always satisfied with their food! read more

Not very good food, expensive drinks and lousy service. Will not go back. Nice building good view.

Great food and service. I love going on Thursday nights for the prime rib. I recommend the league read more

This Lakeway stalwart should be retired. I went last night and was thoroughly disappointed. The place was moderately busy but more than staff could handle. I ordered a Chicken fried pork chop and got a half portion! One ice cream scoop of mash potato and half a pork chop. My friend got a half portion also. For 20 bucks apiece?? C'mon! Their dining room is worn and last night the thermostat was at 85! Very uncomfortable! As in all it was a miserable experience. A few months ago we heard from a realtor the place was going to be renovated. I would say it's overdue! Til then save your money. There are better options. read more

I went here two days ago and was very impressed with the quality of the food, the atmosphere and the cleanliness. the service was good, but the food preparation was a bit too long.... not a huge deal. This new location is really good and I would encourage anyone to patronize this place. read more

Have been going to The League a while now living so close. Reviewed a while back and must have had a few not so great experiences in a row. Started going back and it was night and day difference. The food and service has been impeccable since. Have tried most of the dishes on the menu and can only nitpick one thing. The deviled eggs can do without the truffle oil on them. At least that's what we think is a bit off with them. The chef is very creative with the two for one burgers on Monday's. They are usually so delicious. read more

We had our office Christmas party here in a private room. We can be a loud group so having separate space was necessary. We had a group of 35 and keeping everyone happy is usually hard; but this place got positive reviews all around. We had a preset menu of great choices with appetizers and dessert. It didn't seem like "banquet" food so much better! read more
