Gustav's is one of the first spots you’ll notice as you enter the market area in Leavenworth, and we were excited to try their vegetarian options. We were particularly interested in the Garden Ortega Burger, and ended up ordering three of them.
The burger comes with a black bean patty (nicely grilled), Monterey Jack cheese (I had it for the first time—surprisingly creamy and almost potato-like in texture!), fresh veggies, and a side of salsa. Since we're vegetarians, we skipped the mayo as it contains egg, and also requested to switch the brioche bun (which also has egg) for a baguette instead. They were happy to accommodate all our customizations.
We also chose to replace the fries, which are fried in the same oil as non-vegetarian items, with one Strawberry Spinach Salad to share. I was initially a bit skeptical, but the sweet strawberries paired with the fresh spinach made for a surprisingly delicious and refreshing combo! We also considered the tomato soup but skipped it upon learning it contains chicken broth—glad they were transparent about ingredients.
We arrived around 8:15 PM, just as the restaurant was preparing to close, but the staff—especially our server (we think his name was Jose, based on the receipt)—was incredibly helpful and welcoming. He brought out the full ingredient list, patiently addressed all our questions, and helped us build a meal that fit our dietary needs. Even though it was close to closing time, they didn’t rush us and allowed us to sit and enjoy our meal comfortably.
Overall, a great experience for vegetarians if you're mindful and ask the right questions. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and the food was satisfying and fresh. Would definitely recommend Gustav's to fellow vegetarians visiting Leavenworth!

Gustav's is a long time favorite, their menu offers choices not available in most Leavenworth restaurants. When the weather is good the upstairs deck is the place to be.

Staff was extremely friendly and the food was amazing. Kudos to our server Jose who brought his 'A' game. He added to a great experience.

Great place! I ordered the bison burger with a small order of fries and a lavender cider. Perfect dinner for a hot evening!
The staff was amazing, friendly and very observant. Our order was received in good time, served hot and so delicious. Will definitely come eat here again on my next trip to Leavenworth.

Super good food! And the gluten free bun was delish! Ordered the Gustav burger and my sister had the Bison burger. We shared the smaller basket of fries which was more than enough.

It's absolutely perfect for a Sunday afternoon! We had no wait to get seated. The other patrons there were fun! Our server, Courtney, was just a delight! The food was a perfect snack, smoked pork sausage with sauerkraut and homemade fries with a stout beer.

Food was great! They are good at accommodating dietary restrictions. Crystal was our server & she was such a joy. She was very attentive & took care of us well, and gave us some good laughs. We always love returning here over the years.
Crystal was an amazing server, from recommending food and drinks and handling the ill tempered cranky old people in the back, I would come back here every time. BEST WINGS I HAVE EVER HAD.
