    Fried chicken with mushroom gravy, broccolini and spatzel
    Jack G.

    Stopped in here when in town and had a hankering for German food, cause you know... when in Rome! It was a really good experience, the beers were great and they had live music. The food itself wasn't the best I've ever had but it definitely scratched my itch for German food. The Rueben sandwich I got to go was really good also. If you are in Fredericksburg and need a Biergarten, I recommend this place!

    This is such a cute place right on Main Street with indoor and outdoor seating. We were a little nervous after speaking with the hostess as she wasn't very friendly and almost rude. She did warm up when we were leaving though. The waiting area is small but luckily we weren't there for long. We waited about 10-15 minutes for a table and our server greeted us immediately. He was super friendly and helpful. We ordered the sauerkraut balls, the pork cutlet with capers and the bacon wrapped meatloaf. The sauerkraut was good but the mustard sauce made it that much better. You definitely have to be a lover of sauerkraut though, my husband didn't love them. The cutlet with capers was freaking amazing! Perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. I wanted more capers but honestly there's never enough on anything in my opinion. The meatloaf with gravy hit the spot for me. I love meatloaf! The spaetzle didn't really taste like anything but was a great side with the gravy mixed in. I love vegetables so much and the broccolini was cooked to perfection. I really appreciated that! The place was pretty packed but we seemed to be seated fairly quick. Excellent service and the food came out FAST! We will definitely be back.

    We showed up around 1:15 p.m. on a Saturday, just in time for the live German band -- and wow, they were loud. Let's just say the singer gave "enthusiastic karaoke energy," not "Oktoberfest headliner." The veggies were solid beer snacks, and the beer itself? No notes -- just order it and be happy. The schnitzel was okay, but the gravy tasted suspiciously like it took a shortcut through the canned goods aisle. Spaetzle did its job, and the red cabbage (Rotkohl) was the star of the plate. Then there was the water... let's just say if you enjoy a strong hint of swimming pool, you'll love it. At this point, I realized I've become both a water and music snob -- and I'm oddly fine with that.

    Beer tasting!

    One of the best German food and beer we had in TX! We came from Dallas to visit Fredericksburg and learned about how the small town had German settlers and infused with the culture. We came here for the wine but went back also being a fan of German beer. Love the vibe with live music and definitely beer!

    Great restaurant "off the strip" that is totally worth the extra walk to avoid the crowds and get imho better fare than what most other places are serving, and prices are great. Went on a Saturday early afternoon for lunch and it was very quiet inside; we were sat immediately and our servers were all great. Their menu looks similar to most other places but their food was much better than I've had at other restaurants in the area. Portions were large - we took home leftovers and enjoyed them later. We sat inside where you can check out the glass-covered well in the center of the building, but they have a patio with music outside if the weather isn't too hot.

    This is the second time I've been to Fredericksburg. I looked up restaurants and Altdorf Biergarten was my choice. I'm not much of a German food fan but the hockbraten caught my eye, which was tasty bacon wrapped meatloaf.

    We had such a great experience at Altdorf Biergarten! The food, atmosphere, and service all hit the mark. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel, and it was absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and comforting. I do wish I could have subbed out the side for fries, but the default option was still very tasty. My mother-in-law had the Greek salad and loved it. It was generously topped and super fresh--definitely not your average side salad. My husband went with the Reuben, and he swears it's the best in Fredericksburg. High praise coming from him! We couldn't resist trying dessert, and I'm so glad we didn't. I had the apple strudel, which completely blew me away. The homemade ice cream and caramel drizzle took it to the next level--truly a standout dish. My husband had a rich chocolate cake, and it was equally indulgent. The atmosphere is another major plus. The outdoor patio is shaded and beautifully done--it was so nice to enjoy our meal outside without baking in the Texas sun. Don't miss the hand-dug well inside either. It's a cool historical touch that makes this place feel like a true Fredericksburg landmark. We'll definitely be back!

    Went with some ladies on a girls trip up to Fredericksburg! Needed some food and loved the Ruben sandwich with fries. The bread was so fresh and paired well with the filling. Cute restaurant, the inside has plenty of seating, air conditioning, and some windows for people watching outside. Our waiter was nice and super responsive to changes for food when another meal came out incorrect, he had it fixed quickly. Will need to return when back in town.

    Loved the food! Everything we had was delicious. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and it was 3 loaves of pretzel bread. Not the traditional shape but they were delicious and served warm. Also beer cheese and grain mustard (slightly sweet). Very tasty! I had the Haus Salat- mixed greens, goat cheese, golden beets, pickled onion and candied pecans. And a mustard vinaigrette. Overall I liked it! The mixed greens were alright. I would've liked more of the goat cheese and vinaigrette. The salad was a little dry and I wasn't given any extra salad dressing on the plate. It was served already with vinaigrette on it. I also had the Weinerschnitzel - pickled onion, capers, lemon, with sides rotkohl (warm pickled red cabbage) and spatzle (I call it German pasta). Everything on the plate was delicious! I ate it all! Another in the party got The 'Frankfurt'. It's a half pound of sausage! It's the width of the plate. It was way bigger than expected! Tasty. The pretzel bread it came with was a little soggy from all the sauerkraut on top (and then drizzled with mustard). And a side of fries. Overall a good plate. Bang for your buck! Someone else ordered the chicken 'pikant'. A sandwich, with a grilled chicken with cayenne on it. They claim it wasn't spicy but I don't know. Served in a brioche bun and fries as a side. They finished their plate. The inside entrance features a natural well that goes at least 25 feet deep. Impressive! The restrooms are far away from the restaurant which is great - keeps away any odors, but...it's far (haha). The restaurant does not take reservations. It's first come first serve. The staff were very nice! We would return for sure. And the desserts sounded lovely!

    The secret sauce made the brauts even better.

    The food was delish! Beer was delish! Tip: order dessert with dinner, they might run out! We ate on the patio, and listened to live music by Austin Autilio. Clean restaurant, excellent service. They were so kind to let our Princess Annie of Yorkshire sit under my chair.

    The food came out quick and the best thing we had was the pretzel and chicken salad. The presentation was pretty.

    Bavarian Goulash

    Nice spot in Fredericksburg for traditional Bavarian fare. We visited with a large group and shared a variety of plates. We tried the pretzel and sauerkraut ball appetizers, the broccoli cheddar soup of the day, and the wurst plate, Jagerschnitzel, and Bavarian goulash entrees. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and we found the sauerkraut balls and pretzel especially tasty. It was the perfect day to sit on their patio, which is covered by fabric tarps, and the service was quick and friendly. This is a great spot if you are looking for traditional German food while in Fredericksburg.

    The service and the ambiance of this place definitely win over the food I got...BUT, my friends really enjoyed their food and they got more traditional German food than I did (just got a club sandwich for lunch) so this review is really based of the vibes and service. They had live music playing which was a nice touch and were able to seat our large group outside with no reservation on a Saturday. Our waiters were very attentive!

    Delicious and staff was attentive. Dog friendly place and recommend!

    What are they doing in terms of covid precaution and procedure?

    As of 3/26/22, no more COVID precautions. Masks are optional. No social distancing.

    Any gluten free alcoholic beverages and food available?

    The menu has clearly marked gluten free food. I drank water as I am not able to drink alcohol so I can't answer that. I did not have any kind of reaction to the gluten free food. I'm gluten sensitive but not celiac.

    With the new menu - do they still have the wonderful Hot and Sour potatoes?

    Yes

    I genuinely wanted to like Nurys on Main. I really did. Hope springs eternal, especially in…read moreFredericksburg, where good food is usually a sure bet. Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

Right away, the service felt off. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks before jumping straight to, "Are you ready to order food?" Then she disappeared for long periods, even though we were basically her only table besides one other couple. The food was extremely underwhelming -- basic, barely warm, and nothing memorable. On top of that, there were so many flies inside that we were nonstop swatting them away. And to make matters worse, there was a bug in my drink when it was served to me. That was pretty much the final straw. Overall, a very forgettable and disappointing experience. We probably won't come again, and I would not recommend it.
