Andreas Keller Restaurant

​If you’re looking for authentic German food in Leavenworth, Andreas Keller is a must-visit. The atmosphere is fantastic—the "old school" decor and vibe really transport you. ​The service was excellent; the staff were both attentive and friendly throughout our meal. As for the food, everything was spot on. We ordered the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, red cabbage, fried potatoes, and a Knackwurst sausage, along with a pretzel and German mustard. To top it off, the Hefe beer was easily one of the best I've ever tasted. ​I highly recommend stopping here if you want a fun environment and a great meal.

This was such an amazing accidental stop. My husband and I were getting hungry, happened to stop on the street, read the menu, and decided to head downstairs and immediately felt wrapped in cozy, low lighting and old-world charm. Our waitress was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. I can’t have gluten, eggs, or dairy, and I was still able to enjoy the seasonal sausage with cold potato salad and sauerkraut, all of it was amazing. We also shared the fried potatoes, which were perfectly done. My husband ordered the schnitzel cordon bleu, served over spätzle with gravy, and absolutely loved it. To top it off, he had the Black Forest cake for dessert, which was such a treat not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and honestly flawless. Everything about this meal was delightful. I feel like I’m already planning my return just to eat here again.

Worth the long wait. Great atmosphere and delicious food. If you are visiting in Winter, be sure to grab a glass of their spiced hot Cider. It absolutely hit the spot and felt so good after a day out in the cold. Two major things stood out to me. 1. If you get the breaded schnitzel, make sure to add a cream sauce on the side. Their cream sauce was out of this world amazing. 2. The entries are pretty straightforward and simple fare. I got a pork schnitzel and it came with potato salad. I wish they would have also given me a small side of something like cabbage/sauerkraut. The meal just seem to be lacking a small side dish.

My wife and I visit Bavaria several times per year to visit our daughter and her family, and I have no hesitation in stating that Andreas Keller serves dishes that are tastier and more generous portions than nearly any of the many restaurants where we have dined while in Germany. We had delicious, meaty, pork schnitzel with a crispy breading and heavenly cream sauce, served with freshly made spaetzle. A side dish of red cabbage was the best I have had anywhere. The schnitzel cordon bleu was equally spectacular, and there was a variety of sausages offered for those interested in wurste. Numerous German beers were available on tap or by the bottle, and the decor is so authentic that I forgot for a moment that we were in the Pacific Northwest and not in Bavaria. This is not a place to go for a cheap meal, but the prices were absolutely reasonable for the quality and quantity offered. We are already looking forward to trying more of the menu the next time we visit Leavenworth! We had the opportunity to chat with the friendly Culinary Director (chef) Anita Hamilton, who grew up in Germany and has been at Andreas Keller for nearly 35 years.

Classic German Cuisine Will Leave You Satisfied! Not knowing our exact arrival time in Leavenworth due to a Thanksgiving snowstorm, we skipped making dinner reservations. No worries—I had already checked out Andreas Keller online and saw reviews saying walk-ins were usually doable. Sure enough, we stopped in, gave our name to the host, were handed a pager, and told the wait would be about an hour. Perfect—time to shop! When we returned, we were seated at the last table in the back near the small bar. Even though the restaurant was full, the location was ideal—we could actually hear each other and enjoy a real conversation 😉. Major kudos to our waitress, who mentioned she had driven over an hour in the snowstorm just to work the dinner shift. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant (I wish I remembered her name). My son ordered the Chicken Oktoberfest—and got the last one! That alone tells you how popular it is. It came with warm red cabbage, potato salad, and grainy mustard and was absolutely worth it. My daughter-in-law ordered the Bavarian Beef Goulash with spaetzle, which unfortunately was a miss—the meat was quite dry, even with the gravy. I went with the Sahne Schnitzel topped with gravy and served over spaetzle, and it was tasty and comforting. Portions here are generous and easily shareable. For drinks, my son enjoyed a craft beer, while my DIL and I each had two Glühweins—served hot with a cinnamon stick. Sweet, warming, and a true German classic. All in all, Andreas Keller is a solid walk-in option with heavy portions, festive drinks and a cozy atmosphere. BTW, Keep a lookout, You can miss the entrance to Andreas Keller, as you need to walk down the stairs.

Delicious German food in the downtown area. Great service, atmosphere, and a wide range of authentic German foods. They also give you a lot for each dish, although it’s not on the cheaper side. Great place to unwind and drink some beers with your family and friends.

We arrived in Leavenworth on Thanksgiving and were excited to enjoy something other than the traditional holiday meal. Andreas Keller had over a two-hour wait, which is understandable for such a busy, tourist-heavy town, so we spent the time exploring the area before returning to a cozy spot for the two of us. I’m very familiar with German cuisine, and we enjoyed the sausage sampler, a perfectly made German potato salad, and a thick Bavarian pretzel. The alpine cheddar is pricey but honestly a must-have with the pretzel, even if it brings the total to over $20 for bread and cheese. Still, we enjoyed it. The food overall is good with average portions, but as expected in a tourist town, it’s the most expensive German meal I’ve had in my travels. Despite the Thanksgiving chaos, the service was very good and attentive, which we really appreciated. It’s a solid stop if you’re looking for classic German comfort food in the heart of Leavenworth.

During our trip at Leavenworth, we stopped by at Andreas Keller Restaurant. You must make a reservation at 11:30 am in the morning for the day. They are always so packed.. However, the customer service is super! They're very fast in service and the servers are really top notch. We ordered the Cream of Kraut soup - yummy! We loved it. The Bavarian Beef Goulash is one of their top selling dishes - a must try! The fried potatoes were nice too :)

The food was excellent. The service was great. the entertainment with the man playing the accordion was fun entertainment. I feel like we got the best overall German dining experience. Will definitely recommend and definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.

Food was great and it was such a relief to find something other that sausage and bratwurst after two days in Leavenworth haha! The interior was very cute, german, and cozy! My oldest son and I shared half a chicken with sides and my boyfriend had the cordon blue. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was so accommodating to my son with ASD and food aversions and helped us all decide what to pick as far as food wine and beer. Also the man singing the accordion really made the night for us. He was so interactive with my family and we all left so happy and full. Great experience. Oh also we had no reservations, came on a weekday around 5/6pm and waited 40 minutes for 4 people. I'm glad we waited.

Visited Leavenworth for the first time and was looking forward to trying Andreas Keller. Due to the busy holiday season, there can be long wait times if you put your name down through the Yelp app. I do recommend either calling the day of or go into the restaurant first thing when they open and putting your name down on their waiting list for the time that you would like to come and dine in. They'll ask for your name and phone number. I got a text notification and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was cozy and inviting. Our waiter was super welcoming and answered all of our questions. We ordered the Bavarian Beef Goulash and Breaded Pork Sahneschnitzel. The Bavarian Beef Goulash was tender and the spatzle noodles helped to soak up the rich flavorful sauce. The Breaded Pork Sahneschnitzel was hot, crispy, seasoned well and tender. It paired well with their homemade gravy. Overall this is a great place to enjoy cozy Bavarian food.

I'm not able to write much of a review on Andreas Keller unfortunately. I called to be put on the waitlist around noon on Saturday. They where very kind and offered to put me on the list if anyone canceled as well as the waitlist for later that evening. An hour before our time I got a text canceling our waitlist. Its unfortunate they don't honor the waitlist they advertise.

The restaurant's interior was very cute and cozy. We had a larger party (9) and they were able to accommodate us at ~12 pm on a sunday and we did not have to wait. I tried the goulash and schnitzel cordon bleu. I expected the beef in the goulash to be more tender and flavorful. There was also no textural contrast. The schnitzel was more flavorful (although very salty) I enjoyed it more than the goulash, but I also don't think it was great. Every bite tasted a bit different because the ingredients on the interior weren't spread out well. I also thought that this was pricey for what we got.

Super packed during the winter if you plan to go. Once we were seated service was fast and our waiter was very friendly. Reminiscent of a beer hall in Germany, it was a bit chilly cause people kept opening the door. Food was good, a little over priced. For example, ordered a big pretzel and to have the side of cheese sauce it was an extra $6 and not very big. Goulash was very tasty. Might try somewhere new next time.

Very good schnitzel!!! Both fried and grilled. The Beef Goulash was also absolutely delicious. Giving props to our waiter for being able to bring out a small dish of it with some rye bread on the side even though it's normally offered as a large main dish with sides. I was going to give it a perfect 5, however, we did have utensils and food dropped on us twice. Had it happen once, I would have just said ah forget about it, especially since we were accommodated very well in the beginning. Twice with stains on our shirts though, not the best. Totally fine if you need to make multiple trips to bring stuff back! Otherwise highly highly recommend!!

Great atmosphere! I got the Classic Pork Wiener Schnitzel and my husband got the Bavarian Beef Goulash. We also got an order of fried potatoes to share. It was all great!

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere; however, the food did not meet expectations. It was quite dry, and the pretzel appeared to be several days old. Additionally, the service was slow.

We had such a great experience at Andreas Keller--this place nails the cozy Bavarian vibes and delivers on flavor, too. We tried a little bit of everything: - Glühwein was on the sweeter side for my taste, but still a fun seasonal sip. - Pretzel was perfect--definitely eat it while it's warm! - The rotisserie chicken was super flavorful, and the side of potatoes deserves its own shoutout. - We ordered the Jägerschnitzel with grilled chicken instead of the traditional version and it was still delicious--really well done. - And wow, the Black Forest cake. I've had plenty of modified versions over the years, but nothing comes close to this authentic one. Rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Service was great--friendly and efficient. And the ambience? Loved it. It felt warm, festive, and charmingly old-world. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Leavenworth and want a solid Bavarian meal in a great setting!

Cute little restaurant with great German vibes. There was a man playing accordion and singing German songs which was a nice touch. Service was very fast. We got Schnitzel Salad with chicken breast fried which was good, Käsespätzle was different and quite good maybe a little under seasoned. Cream of sauerkraut was also pretty good!

Came in here for dinner and opted to sit outside since i had my dog and to enjoy the weather and people watching. They have an outdoor patio directly across fro. The park with was perfect for my kiddo to play while we waited for our food. The service great as they checked on us often. I ordered the Giant Style "Muinch Atyle" Pork hock. It was huge! And the skin was crispy, however, very hard to chew. The meat also was not seasoned and lacked flavor. The red cabbage it came with tasted delicious. We also ordered the schnitzel and it was crispy and delicious. Overall, for the cost of the Pork hock was pricey and needed seasoning. But the restaurant and customer service was great! Highly recommend.

This is an amazing German restaurant in downtown Leavenworth. We had the creamy kraut soup to start. It comes with bread and butter for dipping. The flavors were amazing and ordered another cup. We also had the beef goulash which was so tender and the beef gravy was so delicious. We also ordered the Jager schnitzel that came with kraut and spatzle. It was cooked perfectly and very delicious. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance is German theme and they have some cute nooks to sit in. It is very cozy and inviting inside. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want awesome German food!

Great restaurant in a cute Bavarian town that felt pretty authentic. The ambiance and vibe felt very German. The menu had lots of German offerings. Our service was friendly and decently attentive. And the food was good. We feasted on a variety of tasty sausages. Would defeat here again. It was also, oddly, one of the least crowded restaurants on a day in this town that was hugely packed. This might have to do with it being downstairs off the street and not super flashy? It was one of the highest rated on Yelp with an authentic menu. And it definitely did not disappoint! And for a party of 5, we didn't need a reservation (which they don't take) or have to wait or anything.

The ambiance is perfect for this cute little town. You feel like you're in a Disney movie . Service is friendly, very kind. The food was alright , not amazing . We ordered the German brat plate with sauerkraut and German potato salad - not great at all. We also ordered the kids schnitzel plate with fries and that was tasty. Overall it was a good experience with good service

Quaint German restaurant located in the heart of Leavenworth! I enjoy coming here for the ambience. I've gotten the sausage sampler several times, and the pickled herring and giant pickle is delicious too!

BEST RESTAURANT IN LEAVENWORTH! We always go here first and have dinner. I have just one thing on the menu that is my absolute favorite....Schnitzel Cordon Bleu! Hands down one of my favorite things ever. I sub out the spaetzle for the fried potatoes. I LOVE great food, and its late right now while I'm writing this and I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. It's going to get worse for me once I start adding the food pics :) You guys can't ever close, you can't ever take this off the menu ;) And let me add, WONDERFUL people there! Always friendly and everything comes out perfect and timely. Bathroom is always clean. And just look around at the decor! It all adds up to a PERFECT MEAL! My pics are from Octoberfest 2025, we go every year!

We stopped in for a light dinner which is probably very funny given German food seems to be a bit heavy. We were greeted with some friendly hosts and an accordian player that was playing for what seemed to be a bachelorette party. It was definitely a lively atmosphere which we loved. We started off with beers on draft and a schnitzel salad. The salad was so light and fresh. The dressing was to die for. It seems like ranch but consistency was lighter. We also had a few sausages to finish off a low carb dinner. It was a good finish to an already gluttonous weekend.

YUM! We had to call to add our names to the waitlist (5 hour wait, be sure to call ahead of time) and it was well worth the wait! This place is a must when in Leavenworth. The waitress was amazing and the pretzel with the mustard was a favorite from everyone at the table. The food came out fast and hot. 10/10!

My partner and I wanted to try Schweinshaxe during our trip to Leavenworth and so we headed to Andreas Keller. We joined the waitlist on our way to the restaurant and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. I love the vibe of this place. I find their booth seating quite charming. We got the Schweinshaxe for sharing. It was pretty good. It wasn't as crispy as it should be but it wasn't bad at all. We wished they had a bigger serving of the potatoes. I would say it's still good to try but you're not missing out if you decide not to. I'd love to try their other items next time. Our host and our server were both lovely.

Holy smokes. My wife tackled the Bavarian Beef Goulash - I stuffed the Knackwurst in my face hole with taste buds and didn't disappoint. Awesome environment. Very authentic and great service. 100% recommend. We had dinner at 445pm on a Thurs, but even if you have over an hour on the waitlist I still recommend. You won't leave sad, you'll want to go back and try the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu like we do. Go. There. Now.

This restaurant is on the main street and very popular. Get on the waitlist before you arrive, they'll text when your table is ready. The service was excellent despite being very busy and under staffed. The accordion musician was quite entertaining. The food was phenomenal and I wish I could have tried more. I had the schnitzel cordon bleu. So good! This place is a bit pricey but to be expected in a touristy location. I can definitely recommend this place, fun and delicious.

I KNEW we had been here before! Once again the pork hock got us. Once we walked in we both said "I think we have been here before?" And then the closer we got to the bar the memories all came back. Once again that pork hock is fire. We get it and split it. This time we passed on the pretzel and instead got a sausage sampler and the cream of kraut. Both were delicious but the cream of kraut!? Holy cow!! I'm obsessed with sauerkraut so to make a soup out of it...chefs kiss. Once again we had amazing food here. I guess this is our go to spot now.

Quick lunch in Leavenworth while passing through. I have been wanting to stop and get some sausage for awhile now. Very happy I did! I was told the name of all 3 of the sausages by my very helpful server but unfortunately forgot them. They were all 3 delicious, the side of sauerkraut I also made them even taste better! Exactly what I was looking for and craving! The restaurant has a very comfortable German look and lots of seating! I went right around noon and was seated immediately, but it was pretty full by the time I left.

Every time we come to Leavenworth, we always come to this restaurant for a reason. Their food is definitely a step above the other nearby places, so for us it's worth the wait. They do a proper giant pretzel, it's actually big and fluffy with dipping options like mustard and cheese. They accommodate small children very well too, so for our family have been a great experience before and after having little ones. They're centrally located in town, and has a nice Bavarian feel inside. Highly recommend.

We haven't been to Leavenworth in 2 years. It's really good to see that the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu is still just as flavorful as ever! I have been looking forward to this dish for over 400 miles and it did not disappoint. Thankfully we are here now, which seems to be the off season for tourism, so lucky for us there was no waiting. The Schnitzel was breaded well and stuffed with layers of ham and Swiss. It was fairly large and tender, easy to cut. The sauce and spätzle are a magic combination of flavors. Seriously, this dish is addictive and I will be back tomorrow for another.

Authentic German American owned. Love this place and their food. It's always super busy for a reason. Put your name in at least an hour before you want to eat. Pork knuckles are massive but authentic and delicious. Friendly service.

Unfortunately the main of the dish I ordered, the chicken, was overcooked, dry, and didn't have much flavor. My favorite part of the Chicken Oktoberfest was the sides: German potato salad and red cabbage(both were cooked well and well spiced). I had some of the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu and it was alright. The Bavarian pretzel was good, but I felt like the alpine cheese sauce was overpriced ($6 for just the sauce). $19 in total for the pretzel and cheese sauce

musician was amazing. food was mostly good. the cordon bleu was excellent. pork hock was fry and tough to cut thru. saurkraut was one of the best i've had.

Thanks Natalie for making my birthday extra special! We'll be back just for your amazing customer service!

What a fun little restaurant with delicious food! My husband and I made reservations on the morning of the day we wanted to have dinner there and they were able to add us on their list. Upon arrival, there was a little bit of a wait but nothing terrible and we were seated at a table. The ambiance is really warm and inviting. They had live music going on and the gentleman singing and playing was very talented. He serenaded us and sang a special song for our little baby on the way which was really cute and heart warming. Food was tasty and we enjoyed the drinks! - Cola and fanta mix - super refreshing and loved this a lot! - sauerkraut soup - very tasty and the perfect start to our dinner - schnitzel was tasty and well seasoned - sausage with potato salad and kraut - also very solid. It threw me off because the sausage was a very pale white color but it tasted good! Overall, I really loved this restaurant but it definitely gets super busy here so I highly recommend reservations if you come during peak season/dinner time

I hate to sound like a know it all and I'm not the authority on German cuisine but I have had my fair share of it and lived over 10 years there and most of my childhood as an army brat eating at tons of gasthauses with my family. I really wanted to like this place but found it pretty meh (same experience I've had with every restaurant I've eaten at in Leavenworth). While the food may look the part, it just doesn't hit home. I had the jaegarschnitzel and my wife ordered the bratwurst. It wasn't bad but also wasn't good. And for what we spent...over $100 for 2 people, it was pretty disappointing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I like the decor of the restaurant as it felt like being in Germany. You know it's not authentic when the brotchen they serve is you is nothing more than your average dinner roll. It certainly didn't have the hard crust you'd expect. If you are looking to authentic German Brotchen, there is a nice German deli in Lakewood, WA that has stuff pretty close to what you'd get from a real German bakery. The portions were large for the jaegerschnitzel and you could share a single order between two people. Also, the location is in a basement and there's no elevator or access for disabled people. Give it a try tho and judge for yourself.

This is our 3rd time here. We come EVERY year for our "dating anniversary" and it is great! We came over the last weekend of Jan last year and it was TOO BUSY for us to have dinner. But this year on a Tuesday we got seated right Away. Had the beef goulash and the Wiener schnitzel- amazing! And BECKY was a great waitress. On top of serving us. We ordered the The Gewurtzrameiner and got the bottle. Which was great, since we didn't finish it got to take it in a to go bag. Nice energy as the place wasn't crowded compared to any weekend night

We had our puppy with us. They have outdoor seating! Friendly staff and delicious food! So accommodating. Because they combined two dishes for us! Schnitzel and Schweinshaxe combined! Brilliant! Yes for the additional cost for schnitzel and the mushroom sauce. Sauce is must! Fun and tourist area, easy access to shops and bathrooms! FYI, tables are very narrow and wobbly. You may seat closer than you like.

Really enjoyed my meal. Pork was seasoned nicely and very tender. I shared my serving, could have easily eaten one myself. Staff were very pleasant. The wait time was a little long, but worth it. Would do it again. Cute little restaurant. Felt like was in Germany.

Went in around 1pm on a Saturday and there was a 10ish min wait to get a table. The restaurant was packed with people. Therefore, the ambiance was quite loud with strong yellow lighting and a cabin feel. The waiter was nice. Portions are quite large. We shared 3 dishes amongst 5 people. We ordered the cordon bleu, Andreas Keller sampler and the beef goulash. Everything was just okay. The cordon bleu was the best, which is why it is the most popular dish here. The pork chop on the sampler was dry. The sausages were not bad, nothing impressive. The potatoes were simple. The goulash was alright. The texture of the egg noodles was a miss for me. Overall I don't think the food was bad, but I don't think it was for me. Everything wasn't piping hot and the food came out fast, which made it seem like everything was already prepared.

When in Leavenworth, this is a must eat at restaurant. Be sure to go day of at 11:30 when they open and get your name on the waiting list, as I do not take reservations. We put our name down for 545 and we got a text message and we snapped by 5:50. We were a group of six, so this was great!! The atmosphere is nostalgic! Overall, the food was fantastic. A little pricey for what it was, but when you're on vacation in Leavenworth, getting the experience is worth it. My only downside was $7 for a soda was ridiculous. My fault for not looking at that price prior to ordering drinks. I would definitely recommend this place, the chicken Cordon Bleu schnitzel was delicious. The spetzel was also delicious. The apple dessert was tasty, but barely even warmed. Would be much better if it was hot., cars was barely warmed. Overall, make the reservation and enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food

The restaurant is in a basement and a bit hard to see from the street, but don't miss it! Having lived in Munich and Vienna, I was delighted to see old familiar dishes executed very well. I recommend the schnitzels, which used very tender meat and was delicious. The apple streudel comes from the very good adjacent bakery, but they serve it with sweat cream and whipped creamed, warmed up, with cinnamon and sugar... it was heavenly. Ambiance is fun and lively, and quite loud during busy times. There's traditional live music. It's a joy. The restaurant did their best to accommodate food allergies, which I very much appreciated. Vegetarians and vegans may find the options limited. Service was excellent for us. We came during peak meal time, and it was obvious out waitress was quite busy, but she still took time with us and attended to us well. Be aware that this is, for very good reasons, a popular restaurant, and as such there can be a wait. There's a wait list you sign up for online or in person, and you get texted when it is your time. We waited at the nearby cidery and the wait was quite shorter than quoted.

Was in line when AK opened and we were was promptly seated. Schnitzels were on our mind so we ordered a senior and a regular. Both with potato salad. Everything was great! The AK mustard, which you can buy on the way out, was really tasty and went well with the schnitzel. Service was fast. Server was very pleasant and attentive. Food was delivered quickly. Can't ask for much better! Would definitely return.

Went to this gem during Octoberfest. The food is authentic and delicious. Customer service was great as well. I enjoyed the bavarian bratswurst, sauerkraut, and potato salad. The portion size was just right. I tried the wine spritzer which was different and delicious:) Also, there was live music. The atmosphere was kind of loud, but again I was here during Octoberfest.... It was apart of the experience.

My friend and I ordered a couple of schnitzels to share- the Jägerschnitzel and the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu. Both were delicious, and we loved the spatzle noodles they came with. Sooooooo good! If you like beer, there was a good selection. However, there was only a red and a white for those who prefer wine. The atmosphere was lively with live accordian music and a few rambunctious tables who got hold of the marionettes! It was fun, but you might want to choose a different place if you are looking for something more quiet.

What a fantastic restaurant! We were starving after a long day and decided to stop for some food in Leavenworth before getting on the long highway drive home. It was later in the evening so not all of Leavenworth's restaurants were open but thankfully Andreas Keller was! When we went inside and were immediately hit with the delicious smell of food and live music played on an accordion. It was packed so we knew we'd have a bit of a wait. My husband went to put us on the waitlist and we decided to wait outside. We were originally told about 40 minutes but we were texted only 20 minutes later saying our table was ready. We were lucky enough to be sat in one of the cozy wooden booths! A few minutes later, our waiter came over to take our order. We waited about 30 minutes for our food. It was very busy so we weren't expecting it to be much quicker, plus we were really enjoying listening to the man play the accordion. How often do you get to hear that? First bite: It. Was. DELICIOUS. After hiking in the mountains all day, this was the best, most comforting meal we'd had in a long time. It was hot, and so tasty. Everything was perfect. 10/10. The last time we were here was when we were kids in high school. In general, we haven't been to Leavenworth in years. I can safely say that we will be returning to Andreas Keller every time we're in town from now on!

I didn't see an option to make a reservation, but there's an option for a waitlist. I put us on the waitlist around 4:30pm, and we were 35th in line! Around 5:30, we were about 15th in line, but we decided to go in anyway. We gave our name to the server and told her where we were at in line, and luckily, she said there was a communal table available. We are okay with communal tables, so we took it. There was live entertainment next to us. We ordered pickled herring, schnitzel cordon bleu, sahne schnitzel, and apple strudle. I definitely would not recommend pickled herring. I don't know why I was expecting something similar to anchovies, which I love btw, but cold pickled herring was not my cup of tea. Schnitzel portions were huge! I think we could've shared one schnitzel. The sauces for the schnitzel cordon blue and sahne schnitzel looked very similar. I am not a fan of the extra $3 charge for breaded schnitzel. I used to live in Germany, and all the schnitzels I've had were breaded, so I'm surprised why they have an upcharge for it. I've had schnitzel many times, and the breading here was too thick and appeared heavily friend. Still good flavor, but I'm used to lighter breading on my schnitzels. We were full, but we made room for apple strudle, and I'm glad we did. Overall, food was okay, but great experience for the Leavenworth Bavarian theme.

Andreas Keller runs on a first come, first serve basis, no reservations taken. Just call or hop online the day of to get added on the waitlist. Also, it's underground, yes, you'll have to go full Hobbit to get to your table. (Didn't spot any wheelchair access from where we entered, so you might want to double-check.) We visited on a lively Saturday evening and were immediately whisked into an old-world Bavarian wonderland. Live accordion music by Jakob Bean had me feeling like I just stumbled into Oktoberfest and should be wearing lederhosen (which the staff & Jakob were) and holding a stein. The hostess was friendly & quick to check us in, lead us to our cozy wooden stall & provide menus. If you're feeling social, the bigger tables might surprise you with some new dining companions - because nothing says "authentic Bavarian experience" like breaking bread with strangers! After a few minutes of menu browsing, the busser made his debut with water and utensils. Feel we saw him more often than our actual waitress, who popped by briefly to greet, ask if we had any questions, then disappeared into the Bavarian mist. If you're into a less is more approach to service, you'll feel right at home. The drink menu is as impressive as the pretzels are large. I went with a Helles light lager - a sensible choice, since I had to hit the road the next day. I wasn't trying to overdo it and end up polka dancing all night to Jakob's lively accordion jams. The beer? Just as expected: light, crisp, and perfect for a Bavarian evening. For food, I went all-in with the Sahneschnitzel, a breaded and grilled delight smothered in homemade cream sauce, served with Spatzle. It was a hearty portion, and I managed to conquer the entire plate. The Schnitzel was piping hot and flavorful after a quick dash of salt and pepper. The Spatzle, on the other hand, arrived at room temperature and tasted as if it had taken a detour before landing on my plate. Dessert looked amazing, but alas, there's only so much room in a human stomach. In a nutshell: Andreas Keller is great for authentic Bavarian eats and live accordion magic. The food and drinks will keep you merry, and the music will transport you to another era, but don't expect the service to sweep you off your feet. Still, worth the trip! Prost!

Yes I like this place...a lot. We go to Andreas Keller when we come to Leavenworth. I've never been to Germany so have nothing to compare the authenticity but get this....I don't care. The Jaegerschnitzel is my favorite. The grilled version vs the breaded. Pounded flat and grilled with Swiss cheese on top smothered in mushroom gravy with spaetzel and warm weinkraut. I would eat that everyday if I wanted to weigh 400 lbs. This time I tried it with a side of German fried potatoes. Mix with the mushroom gravy.....Winner Winner Schnitzel dinner! We also got the sausage sampler. You get to choose three of their offerings with mustard. We chose Knackwurst, Bratwurst, and Debreziner (smoky and spicy). My only knock (get it?) is the sausage could have been hotter temperature wise. The bratwurst especially was on the cooler side. Maybe that's the traditional way to serve them but I needed them to be warmer. Okay I can hear the warm sausage cracks! That's not what I meant and you know it! Anyway we like it. The gent singing traditional German songs playing the accordion is a nice touch.

I visited Leavenworth post-Oktoberfest, so the city was hauntingly quiet with a few tourist here and there. I had dinner at Andreas Keller around 7:30pm. It was a slow Monday night with maybe 8 or so parties, so I got seated almost immediately. The decor was delightful with twinkle lights and booths shaped like wooden barrels. The waiter was very attentive and gave some good food recommendations. I ordered the Classic Pork Wiener Schnitzel, which was perfectly cooked and traditionally seasoned. The pork was tenderized so well that I could cut it with just a spoon. The lemon wedge added some nice acidity to the breading and the mustard added tanginess. The potato salad was good, too. As a traditional German potato salad, it had an apple cider vinegar base, which was a tart contrast to the fried schnitzel breading. I'm more of a mayonnaise girlie, but it was great to try. Next time, I would definitely try the Sahne Schnitzel, which comes with a homemade cream. The food was priced typical to what you'd expect for a tourist town; you're paying for the ambiance. There was even a musician playing the accordion and singing in German. If you're looking for a traditional German dinner, look no further than Andreas Keller!

This hidden restaurant is downstairs. The exit was painted and the seating and layout of the restaurant was German vibes. I came here for a German dinner, but I decided on the Bavarian Beef Goulash. It has beef in a brown sauce, served with homemade spätzle noodles. It tasted like a beef stew with pasta. It was good but nothing amazing. The polish sausage was delicious though! I should've just gotten a sausage platter. The apple strudel for dessert was flavorful but there's not enough pastry for me. I was hoping for a crunchy texture but it was soft. Service was excellent though. Everyone is friendly, cheerful, and kind! 5/5 for service for sure.

Our favorite place to come every single time we are in Leavenworth. The black Forrest cake is also a favorite.

We couldn't leave Leavenworth with having German food. This cute little place is downstairs and they have all the classics, a great beer selection, good service, and fun music. It's hard not to have a good time while here. We started off with the pretzel which had a texture more like a roll than the chewy texture I am used but the mustard that came with it was amazing. You can even buy a jar of it if you would like, and we did. I had the beef goulash which was hearty and filling. I left there stuffed but luckily the town is so cute you can walk it off afterwards. The finished our meal with the apple strudel which was just ok. It lacked flavor in my opinion and the dough was a bit too soggy for my liking. This place is absolutely worth checking out of you want to fully immerse yourself into the Bavarian village theme of the town.
