Gustav's

Gustav's Grill & Beer Garden has been a beloved Leavenworth institution since 1981, serving casual excellence in the heart of Washington's Cascades. This family-friendly restaurant and tavern offers an outstanding menu featuring their signature Gus Burgers, mouthwatering German sausages including bockwurst and bratwurst, and the famous bratwurst burger that has earned a cult following among locals and tourists alike. The breaded pork cutlet sandwich with crispy fries and onion rings is another customer favorite. What sets Gustav's apart is their own Icicle Ales, brewed specifically for the restaurant and available on tap alongside an impressive selection of craft beers. In summer, guests gather on the spacious deck to soak in the majestic mountain views, while winter brings a magical atmosphere with the warm glow of pine surrounding a stone fireplace. One of Leavenworth's few restaurants that can accommodate large walk-in groups without reservations, Gustav's readily handles families, parties, and intimate gatherings. The diverse menu ensures something for everyone, complemented by visually stunning drinks and generous portions. Located at 617 US-2 in downtown Leavenworth, this Bavarian-themed village gem combines German heritage with American casual dining. Open daily from 11am, with extended hours on weekends until 9pm.
