The League Kitchen & Tavern

We had great dinning experience here. We got started on the spinach dip and warm pretzels with cheese dip. For entrees we got Chicken Diane and their October special meat pasta. We were informed prior to ordering that Chicken Diane will take 20 mins to prepare. The appetizers that we ordered kept us occupied and full until our entrees came. The chicken Diane was crispy and juicy with a great mushroom sauce. The only negative was the potato mash it came with was cold and a little dry. The pasta was alright but our favorite of the night was chicken Diane. As first time visitors we got complimentary dessert. We got rhe grandma cake with ice cream. It wasn't our favorite, but really enjoyed the cake with pecans on its own. I would definitely come back to try some items on their menu

A great find and a great first visit. Honestly. Delight to find on the “way out” of Austin, on the way home. In a world of homogeneous chain restaurants, here is a hand made, pleasant sit down restaurant, that doesn’t require a trip to downtown. My lovely wife and already decided we will return. Great food (check out the pics and comments), friendly service from arrival, to service, to departure. Great food and atmosphere. Enjoy your visit too!

Nate was legit! Good was spectacular and we got a free desert. Food was pricey. It it was worth it. Best Arnold Palmer I’ve ever had. Pork chop was amazing. Wings were great. Can’t wait to go back.

Marshall and Stacey at the bar are great! Best cocktails and amazing service. We had the shrimp cocktail and shrimp cilantro salad, so fresh and light. Ruby Red martini is my new favorite!

The food (apps, meal, desert) was tasty. The service was great. Indoor outdoor eating choices with indoor booths and a lot of TVs. We sat in a comfortable booth in the bar area and had a great waiter/bartender-Marshall.”

This has become my go to spot because of the exceptional experience with the staff. Last time I visited, Marshal took the time to make an off menu cocktail - I call it the Marshal Special but it’s the best cocktail I’ve ever had (picture below). Every time I stop by, the bar staff is hustling- they treat the customers exceptionally and it makes the experience exceptional. There’s not a bar / restaurant in South Austin that I’ve ever seen bustle and stay customer obsessed like the bar team at the League Beltera.

Marshall is my go to bartender. So skilled, my Drink is PERFECT every single time. I don’t even need to tell him what I want… he knows, he’s THAT kind of bartender. I also have my fav apps which he knows as well. If you want to walk into a place with a familiar face and hear, “would you like your usual?” Or a place for solid food and a stellar cocktail… this is your spot!

Jared was a wonderful waiter. Attentive, professional and kind. The food was delicious. We had the meatloaf bites and split a burger. The atmosphere was pretty chaotic. Tables super close to one another. Too hot to sit outside or we would have sat there instead.

I've been a few times and am finally getting around to posting a review. We went with friends this time and we ordered the southern burger, fish n chips and the grilled chicken sandwich. Food was ok, but nothing that stands out that would draw us back soon. The southern burger needed more bbq sauce. Was dry. Fries were fresh and good! Very expensive for what you get. My husband and I got out of here paying about $75 for the burger, fish n chips and a 22 oz beer. The ambiance is nice. We nearly had the place to ourselves on a Sunday evening. Hardly anyone dining. Service was good - although our server kept interrupting us - felt kind of rushed to order when NO ONE was in the place and they weren't busy.

My husband decided he wanted to try something different. He thought we should give tavern style food a try. He ordered our food online and was notified quickly when it was ready. We drove up, he picked up our food and we headed home. My husband and one of my sons ordered the fish and chips, my other son got the prime steak sandwich with just meat and bread, and I got the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich. My husband and son said that the fish was okay. My son said that it was a little soggy. My husband liked the fries. I tried them and they had that potato flavor but they were very floppy and greasy. My other son liked his prime steak sandwich. I was very disappointed with my sandwich. The bread was super soggy and burnt and inedible. The chicken and pineapple were decent. The onion rings were super greasy. The outer layer was too soft and not crispy at all. They were not the kind of onion rings I expected. I actually removed the outer layer and ate the onions from inside with ketchup. But I couldn't finish them. They were too greasy. Overall the ordering and pickup process was easy but the food wasn't what we expected. Most of the meals were a little too greasy for my family.

Usually I come here and get the coconut shrimp. But this time it was really dark. Like the grease hasn't been changed lately. And my granddaughters chick tenders were really dark too and she wouldn't eat them. I love this place and haven't had any issues before. So maybe it was just this one time. But I do have to say the dump cake is the best thing ever! Our server was very nice and helpful. Just wasn't impressed this time with my favorite coconut shrimp.

We enjoy The League. It has a great diverse menu, good presentation and flavors. The service is always excellent and we prefer to sit in the bar area where Stacie works. R had the Tuna Tartare Tacos and a draft Sierra Nevada. I had a draft Electric Jellyfish and a Prime Teak Sandwich with Fries. R loved her dish as I did mine. I was expecting to eat half and bring the rest home. Wrong. The Prime Steak sandwich with Au Jus was not to be left on the table.

The adult grilled cheese is still fire here! Can't go wrong! Recently discovered their happy hour M-F...3-7pm half off all their appetizers and drink specials! The tuna tacos are legit! Crispy with sweet and salty , perfect combo! Their bar setup is so inviting , a great spot to grab a drink or great food! Consistency is key and the League continues to be a go to spot for me!

Came in after a morning spend Christmas shopping in Dripping Springs. Got seated right way. Frank our waiter explained the menu recommended several dishes. We stared with the fried pickles, and they weee very pickly, just the way we like them. I as the steak and eggs, which was delicious with the sauce. Daughter opted for the fish and chips with truffles fries, equally delicious, perfect batter to fish ratio and the fries were not over truffly. As we were getting ready to lay, Frank remembered it was our first time I and surprised us with a free desert - G-Ma's Old Fashioned Dump Cake. OMG it was to die for. We'll be back soon

From the moment we sat down, our experience at The League was amazing. Our server, Kyle, was incredibly polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. He walked us through the specials in detail and gave us some fantastic recommendations -- every dish he suggested was spot on and absolutely delicious. The manager, Brooklyn, stopped by our table to personally check in and even surprised us with a birthday dessert since it was our first visit. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare these days and really made our night extra special. We also loved the cozy yet upscale ambiance and the cute, well-thought-out décor. It's the perfect spot for a casual night out or a nice dinner with friends and family. We're already planning to make this one of our regular go-to places -- probably twice a month! Huge thanks to Kyle and Brooklyn for making our first visit unforgettable.

Excellent food. Great atmosphere and the different menu items make for a great selection of types of food

Tonite we had dinner at the The League. The food was delicious, but the service was even better. Our waiter, Dillon, was an outstanding server. Courteous, engaged and efficient. The hostess was a sweetheart too.

We were promptly seated and the dining room was pretty full. They have a long list of beer on tap so it took a minute to choose. They also have a good selection of wine by the glass. We had onion rings ($7) as an appetizer and they were thickly cut and quite good. I had the Southern burger ($15.99) and enjoyed the toppings. The fries were brown and too done for my taste. Hubby had the tomato basil soup which was tasty and served with a grilled cheese sandwich ($12.99) which had cheese oozing out the sides. TJ, our waiter, took good care of us. I enjoyed the League and would dine here again.

We have been going to The League over the past 2 yrs. In Beltera. We have always enjoyed the food service and ambiance. Today Monday we went for there delicious hamburgers. Our waiter Daniel C. was great on everything we ordered.

Update to my latest review as of June 6, 2024: So tonight is prime rib night at the league. And again, let me tell you, they do not disappoint. We had the coconut crusted shrimp appetizer to begin with, and it was divine. We split a 16 ounce prime rib, dinner, because they are very generous in their serving. And the mushrooms, that come with the prime rib, are to die for. If you like mushrooms, then this is something you will certainly think is candy. The server, Isabel, is amazing, and if you get the chance, ask to sit in her section. The manager, Kris, is super attentive to all of her guests, and make sure everyone has an extremely wonderful experience. She will not disappoint. So if you're in Dripping Springs, and you want prime rib, give the League a try. I give it five stars.

Fantastic service by Steven! Lots of wine options and reasonable prices. Food is Ok, certainly not great. The herb chicken was dry as was the chicken Diane. Green beans were a big hit.

Always a great atmosphere and even better service. Menus never disappoints, love stopping in whenever I get the chance.

When I walked in I thought to myself "It looks like a bar, it sounds like a bar, it's probably a bar" it quite literally looks like a classic bar from a movie, but there's football. My waitress Aaron was very kind and understanding of my brother's allergies. The ribeye was a perfect medium The meatloaf was delicious The coconut shrimp with the sauce was one of the best things I've ever eaten and I don't like sauces.

Solid place! Was here on Thursday night and the place was busier than I thought it would be. We made reservations, which was a plus! Seated immediately and our waiter (Fred) was great! Social, helpful, and all around funny guy! We started with a few French onion soups and spinach and artichoke dip. Soup was on special for the night and the broth was so rich and tasty. Not watered down at all. The dip was enjoyable. The all of us ordered a variety of things. The southern burger was huge! We of course, upgraded to truffle them. Burger also heated up well during leftovers. Ordered aa few more of the specials for the night (stuffed pork chop and seafood étouffée) and then a salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal! But hands down, the winner of the night was the deep fried apple pie. Two of us weren't big apple pie fans but this thing was mouth watery good. Really enjoyed the ambiance and dinner. Will absolutely be back!

I was browsing Yelp for dinner ideas and came across The League. The menu looked good so my parents and I decided to give it a try. We had a difficult time finding the restaurant because we didn't realize it was in a suite down by the movie theater. We were greeted immediately by the host and were sat at a booth in the bar area. The bar area was a little cramped, but the booth itself is pretty large. Service was a bit slow at times, but both of our servers were so nice and attentive! One of our servers was also tending the bar and the bar area was busy so they were holding it down. Smoked Avocado Margarita - Recommended by one of the servers. It was good and had a slight kick to it. Truffle Deviled Eggs - I really enjoyed the flavor of these! I could have done without the piece of truffle potato chip, but I did enjoy the scallions and tobiko. Cobb salad - My stepdad ordered this. It's actually considered an entrée, but he ate it as an app and enjoyed it. Herb Rotisserie Chicken - The chicken was huge! The seasoning was good and it was served piping hot. I subbed the sweet potato with mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were lukewarm and the gravy was a bit congealed. It would have been better had it been served hot like the chicken. I also wish it would have been a larger serving since the portion of chicken was large. I didn't have enough potatoes for all of the chicken. Grilled Atlantic Salmon - My parents both ordered this. I had a bite of salmon and ginger broccoli and immediately wished I would have ordered it instead. The flavor was so good and the fish was tender. Dessert - We were able to get a free brownie and ice cream on the house since it was our first time visiting. We ordered it to go since we were full from dinner. I tried a bite when we got home and was underwhelmed. The brownie was like any ordinary brownie and the ice cream tasted more like vanilla bean instead of homemade vanilla. It was okay, but at least it was free!

Great service! Yummy food! Wish I lived closer so I could go back! If you're new, you get a free small dessert that was SO GOOD

The food here is so good! I've been twice and both times had great quality food. Brunch is the best with a bloody mary. And the wait staff is awesome. Highly recommend!

So freaking good - the adult grilled cheese was amazing!! The ambiance was so cool and cute!! The club sandwich and Cobb salad were amazing g as well!!! Highly recommend - try this place for sure!!

Great evening revisiting the League Kitchen where we lucked into happy hour. Great drink specials and 1/2 price apps. We will definitely be going back to try other menu items but really enjoyed the meatloaf bites, shishito peppers, artichoke dip and fish and chips. Great service by a very personable server with a lot of personality. Give it a try!

Stopped in to give this place a try since their menu sounded pretty solid, and it was great! Located in a convenient shopping center, this place is upscale casual and has a creative menu that tastes as good as it sounds. Our server was also fantastic - very knowledgeable and sweet. We tried a variety of things and enjoyed it all. I'll admit the pricing is a bit more than I'd say the food is worth, but it was still good, and nothing disappointed. The fries were delicious and tasted homemade! Everything was made fresh and delivered on flavor and generous portion size. Overall, I'd revisit this place again!

Was looking forward to tonight's visit to the League in Belterra for their Oktoberfest celebration. Had been to one pre-Covid, and it was stellar. Polka bands playing Ein Prosit every five minutes, small but very decent selection of traditional German dishes, choice of German beers. Beer Maidens!! Totally fun evening. This year the opposite. They advertised "German Inspired Fare," but that amounted to one schnitzel burger which was their burger of the month anyway. That was it! No pretzels, no sauerbraten, no wurst, no spaetzel. No band. No beer maidens. They'd run out of the Alstadt Oktoberfest beer before 6pm, so they substituted a Sierra Nevada attempt (fairly bland), but I got to keep the glass anyway. We should have left then and finished ahead of the game. But we ordered anyway. Two orders of the crab cakes from the chefs special menu. They left something out of the mix. Egg maybe, or cornmeal. The cakes were spongey and fell apart too readily. The spicy ailioli was fine, but the cakes were a bland mess. There was a credible amount of crab meat, but the recipe was not well thought out. We decided to share an order of the fried catfish, again from the chefs special menu. The pictures on their e- newsletter showed a massive hunk of fried catfish on a plate. I should have known better. One problem with catfish is that the larger fish produce cuts that are mealy and bland. That occurs even with wild caught catfish. It certainly occurred with our order. They sacrificed quality for size, perhaps unknowingly. The breading was acceptable, but the fish was egregiously subpar. You can't make up for that with a mountain of French fries. The only two highlights were our server Isabelle and my companion's Spicy Passionfruit Margarita. Isabelle was cheerful, prompt and attentive. The margarita was spot on and refill-worthy. League, this is Central Texas with a long history of German immigration dating back close to 200 years and an embedded culture around things Teutonic. And pride in that. To put on so poor a show and call it Oktoberfest in this locality is a major strategic mistake. Add to that a substandard meal and you get reviews like this.

We've been to the league a few times now! Our first visit wasn't the greatest as my grilled chicken sandwich came out with soggy buns and was super messy but still good so I didn't want to leave a review about that. Since then we have been and enjoyed each visit! It's usually chilly inside, so I would suggest taking a jacket. The staff are always polite, and try to keep up. Sometimes they can lag a bit, but that's anywhere you go. We love the decor inside, very cute/cool. They have a bar you can sit at and indoor/outdoor seating. Overall would suggest you stop by! The pictures of food are from our last visit!

I'll give them a solid four. The food was pretty good but the service was slow. I really like the overall experience though. Food: I got the meatloaf and it was pretty good. Lots of flavor. I would like to try other things off the menu. They have quite the extensive menu here. I also got some banana pudding to go that was absolutely amazing. But they were not on the ball and they forgot to put a fork in the bag so when I go to the hotel room I had to get a fork. People please put utensils in the freaking bag. It's not that hard. With these prices I expected To get at least a Fork or a spoon. Next time in I'm in the area I will definitely stop by and try more things after menu. Once again and the service was very slow to get our ticket. So that was kind of a letdown. Other than that I will definitely give them four stars for sure. If you're in the area I suggest you stop in and give them a try.

Yummy! This place never disappoints. We enjoyed our dinner and couldn't leave without taking our leftovers home because it was that great!

Overall this experience was lackluster. I was told there was no more chicken then lo and behold, about 30 minutes later, the table in front of me gets chicken. The Mac n cheese was so bland, and overall the food was very meh. I've eaten at most of the Ciola family restaurants and had mostly great experiences. Also, all male photos in the ladies restaurant? Not really into it. The League needs work.

Great service, good and ambiance!! Good job!! Was really impressed with the service and the taste of the food. Came here with two others and they loved it as well!

We're new to town and we're looking for something other than bbq or Mexican food. This spot had a nice menu. We both tried the steak sandwich, one with fries and one with onion rings. It was all delicious! The onion rings were huge and crunchy! We'll be back!!

Oh my gosh! I got to share the love for this place! The food is excellent and the service is really wonderful, too! The two-for-one burgers on Monday are worth the trip for me. Don't forget to ask for your free dessert if this is your first time to the League. Great atmosphere with lots of big screen TVs and sports in the bar area.

What an amazing experience! We randomly stopped with a group of 6 people and the place was so welcoming. We happened to be there at happy hour and 1/2 off for all the starters. We got almost each one and tried family style. Everything was incredible. My favorite was the coconut shrimp. The tuna tacos were up there. Frank got our drinks and orders efficiently and was very nice to meet and chat with. He asked us each where we were from and we all talked about stories from our places. We told him we were going to Austin and he gave us some awesome recommendations for music joints. So happy we stopped here to get some excellent food, drinks and conversation.

Great food selection. Great service. Highly recommended place for the family whether just casual dinner or a event

Everything we ordered was delicious! The service was amazing! our server Frank was so kind and so funny, and gave us information about what to do in town. We got the coconut shrimp, truffle deviled eggs, tuna tacos, chicken wings, truffle fries, brussels sprouts, lime shrimp salad, and the ribeye to share, and everything was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place!!! the appentiezers were on happy hour too!! amazing place, and the desert dump cake was off the chain!!

We haven't loved the food here the last few times we tried it. My go-to is the chicken with sweet potato and sometimes it's great and sometimes it's so dry you can't eat it. The spinach artichoke dip has no flavor, and the last time we got the coconut shrimp the breading was wet in some spots like it wasn't cooked. What's happening over there.

Was a little expensive but they give a lot of food and was very good. But for as it being expensive I will need to cut back into going

Knocking the stars back for our local League Kitchen. My last meal there was sub par. I ordered a club sandwich and requested soft bacon; when it arrived it was well done. Our server clearly explained she added my request to the order ticket. The manager refused to speak with me. Server came back and told me they removed the charge from the bill. I appreciate that, but it doesn't change my complaint. "Everything is homemade and prepared to order, so it takes just a little longer" is on your menu!!!! I reached out via social media. They were also apologetic, and said a manager would contact me quickly. Yeah, that was months ago now. Zero from League since that day March 6th. Regular diners since the Belterra opening; guess I'll take my business elsewhere.

The league has really great food! I've experience a few kitchen mishaps, but nothing worth holding against anyone. Sometimes the bar gets a little busy and you might feel ignored, so just speak up and get that drink, girl! The interior is very bar-chic, so the food might seem pub style but I promise you it's "classed up" and super tasty.

The food was okay - nothing bad but nothing great. The service was slow but all service is slow these days. Sat in the bar area - it was loud as bars are, just a weird set up. So many good places to eat in the Austin area - hard to go back to just average at best.

Great experience for National Margarita Day. Our server Maryanne was amazing and so fun! She really made our night special.

Delicious food, great service, friendly staff. My boss and I had dinner here recently and shared a salad and a few appetizers. Everything was delicious and our server checked on us regularly. - The Shrimp salad with char grilled corn and black beans w/ cilantro lime dressing was fantastic! The flavors all worked really well together and the char on the shrimp and corn added another dimension. the dressing was delicious as well. - Smoked Salmon deviled eggs were just okay and I'd skip those next time. - Meatloaf bites were fantastic. A bit of a crust on the outside, soft inside, over a pillow of mashed potatoes. A unique and super tasty appetizer that's big enough to be a meal. - Chicken and cheese stuffed jalapenos were incredible. What a pleasant surprise! so tasty and the dipping sauce was so, so good. I highly recommend this place is your out near Dripping Springs!

New Review: The League Kitchen & Tavern, Dripping Springs I am an interior designer and have to say, this is one of the cutest restaurants I have been to in a while! My sister and I lost our father so had to go down the street from this location to make final arrangements. We were hungry and ready for a drink and the League Kitchen and Tavern totally delivered. The inside Decor is very well thought out, had the most comfortable bench seating, and club chairs in a beautiful turquoise color. I love the mural wall moment. The bar was well appointed and the chairs looked comfortable. Our server was extremely friendly and very quick service, she had great follow-up. To start with we ordered drinks from the bar menu which had some delicious options. I got the shandy and my sister had the blood orange prosecco. These things are dangerous! Perfectly crafted. We order the smoked deviled eggs but subbed bacon instead of the smoked salmon. They were amazing, we gobbled them up! My sister ordered the Green Chile Chicken Macaroni and I ordered the Chipotle meatloaf. The macaroni was creamy with the perfect balance of flavor, the meatloaf was tender and had fried onions on top. The gravy was a fabulous. It was an absolutely impeccable experience. Speaking with the manager who stopped by, he mentioned there are several throughout the Austin area. I'm looking forward to trying those as well. Great job!

Another good lunch in the Austin area. It's in a new shopping center with lots of other popular retail, so I can see where parking can be a challenge in the future. They have a bar area and a sit down restaurant area. TVs all over the bar area with sports on - also they have a nice outside sitting area. I had the steak salad, perfect choice very tender cut, sirloin steak, cooked to order. This was piled next to the artisan greens (arugula, romaine), bleu cheese crumbles, pickled baby beets, topped with a pile of Tabasco shoestring onions, served on the side was a mustard vinaigrette and a triangle of cheese toast. Nice bar area - with a big selection of beers on tap. See pic. I will be back.

This was my first time to dine at the League Kitchen & Tavern and notice first some nice outdoor seating. It was a bit cold so went inside. There were some people already in here for lunch. We headed straight to the bar to sit at a booth. Turns out the seating at the bar is reserved but since not too many people here we were allowed to stay. There are a lot of flat screens here showing sporting events. It definitely a place to go to watch your favorite team. I decided to enjoy brunch today and ordered a mimosa. We had a very nice waitress serving us and performed an excellent job. I decided to get Buttermilk Pancakes. The place is really nice. Our food arrived and I had two huge stacked pancakes with butter and maple syrup. The pancakes were very tasty and enjoyed it. My mimosa was fine. I tasted my wife's Chicken Fried Pork Chop and it was delicious. There is a lot of parking available. This place will definitely be on our minds after being impressed to decide where to have lunch in the future.

The staff at this restaurant is fabulous. They are personable and they made my dining experience one to remember. My waiter Frank was so kind and chef Rob came to see how me and my friend Chloe enjoyed our meals. For starters me and Chloe ordered fried pickles and coconut shrimp. The fried pickles are sliced thick and battered to perfection, with a surprisingly sweet taste. The coconut shrimp was crispy and very juicy. Probably some of the largest coconut shrimp I have ever had. For our main courses we tried the shrimp salad and herb rotisserie chicken. Both are very healthy portions and will leave you highly satisfied. For dessert 10/10 G-ma's Old fashioned dump cake. The chocolate icing is creamy, the chocolate cake is rich and pairs perfectly with the vanilla bean ice cream.

First time here a couple of months ago on our way to a football game in Dripping Springs. Incredibly good food. We set outside on their patio which was wonderful because the weather was so good. I had their prime rib sandwich, which was prepared perfectly. Bread tasted homemade, side sauces were fantastic. Fries had a seasoning on them that was addictive. Pickle slices were a nice addition and had a wonderful flavor.

I guess this place doesn't know the concept of curbside!I guess this place doesn't know the concept of curbside! I ordered this to be picked up at 5:30, notified them I was there, I waited 25 minutes during that time I called them three times kept getting hung up on till I finally decided to go inside and ask for the manager he said he would make it right he would have them redo the order. he apologized which I appreciate but I think all that he had them do was put it in the microwave (he came back out too quick) because look at this mess who do you think you're fooling? Fish was all soggy underneath the fries were hard and rubbery. They didn't put any mayo or mustard or ketchup in my husband's hamburger the meat was dry I'm sure that was because they reheated it! Rotten customer service and food!!! If you want to throw away your money and eat shitty food this is the place to come.

The League is nicer than Chili's but not that much for the price. The bogo burgers on Monday's are cool and so is the pork chop. Tall beers and meatloaf apps is my thing but only if you can handle how noisy it is! To me it seems like a really great concept then they got busy and didn't adapt well, experience is always the same. Wait, mediocre food with the hope of consistency followed by a late take home box and a ticket I feel is too high.

Love this place! Sometimes drinks come out slow, but service with Frank as our server is always top notch and personalized.

Nostalgic American Ambiance, leather booths, great oldies, and navy blue walls with black and white photographs. Somehow, they are able to balance this romantic setting with a couple TVs by the bar airing sports- your experience in this versatile restaurant is genuinely what you make of it. They pride themselves on "comforting" American cuisine, and they do it well, with filling but reasonable portions executed with modern culinary savvy. I got the stuffed pork chop off the specials menu and it was lovely. The bar menu is expansive and the cocktails are very solid. I'd come back.
