J J Hills Fresh Grill Restaurant in Leavenworth

Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the experience and won't be going back when we visit Leavenworth. Over ten years ago, I stayed at the hotel and they had a marvelous Thanksgiving dinner buffet. What a difference and not for the better. Very limited options and certainly not a lot of effort went into the menu. Lots of food on the plate but the dinner was certainly not worth $100 for the quality. Had to ask multiple people to bring us bread that we saw served to others and refills on our beverages because our server didn't come back until he brought us our turkey dinner. Certainly not sliced turkey from a bird. The restaurant had zero ambiance and very noisy. We ate the night before at a local German restaurant and certainly enjoyed that far more

FYI: We don't eat out on Thanksgiving very often, and I think that does change the overall experience. We chose the turkey and dressing as our main courses and then we each selected a different dessert so we could try the apple pie and the pumpkin pie. Everything was fine. It was served fast, and the staff were all friendly. Thanks for working so hard on Thanksgiving!!

The food was good but unfortunately our waitress wasn't. She wasn't friendly and we had to ask for more water, our kid's dessert. We were still eating our main dish but she brought our dessert. She brought the bill when we were eating our dessert. She mentioned “no rush” to pay but 2mins after, she came back and asked my credit card. Like I said, good food but not the service

Great food

It was ok. I thought we were going to a steakhouse. It was just a hotel restaurant, the Gifu's and pretzel was good. But not as expected.

The food was amazing. We tried the chowder which was some of the best I have had. The fondue was also a fun treat and the burger had great flavor as well. The service was sadly not the best. Our waitress was wearing leggings which for the price point of this restaurant is inappropriate attire and she seemed annoyed with our presence. The noise level was fine when we got there as it was not busy but I did notice as it filled up it got louder. The train however fun was dull humm that added to the noise when the room started to fill up. Over all I would recommend and will visit again.

Great service and a family friendly ambiance. My toddler really enjoyed watching the toy train that circles the restaurant along the wall near the ceiling.

Nice food with a view of mountains

We all loved our meals, and each was different. One of the great things about JJ Hills is that there is something for everyone, no matter what your taste. Large portions and all very tasty at a great price, especially in a resort area. Very friendly, cheerful, and and helpful waitress. Highly recommend it.

Food was very mediocre, especially for such a high cost. Several places within walking difference are significantly better quality. Staff was nice but slow and had difficulty understanding basic requests or questions. Food was extremely slow getting out. Staff (or cook) made mistakes on order.

Restaurant opened when we arrived for our 5pm reservation. We were promptly seated. Waitress took our full order about ten minutes later. We ordered two “happy hour” appetizers, pretzel and bruschetta(3 small pieces) they arrived 20 minutes later, 5:30pm Main meal: came 5:50pm, 40 minutes arfter we ordered, we even noticed other tables sat after us already served their main meals. Wurst two -6” links, weird tasting potato salad, sauerkraut was ok. $28 seems pricey for the dish. Salad Special, ordered and receipt stated “on the Side”, but too much dressing was “On” the salad. Good Hamburger special- decent burger, with pickles on a roll, plus lots of French fries. We like good food, we were disappointed here! Brian

The food was delicious 😋

Our waitress was the best part of the experience. The food is mediocre at best. The place was empty so word has certainly traveled.

Wasn't overly impressed with their fondue and a bit surprised by the price, definitely not the worst place I ever ate though. I saw some prices from the menu posted on a review and I thought I would update as they have gone up quite a lot since then...

The steak (in the steak salad) was over done, the kids burger was burned, and the short rib pappardelle was basically beef stew and noodles. The service was fine (she was very courteous) but food was slow. Skip this restaurant if staying at the resort and go into town instead.
