The League Kitchen & Tavern

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 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!

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!!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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.
