    Brisket, regular sausage, green beans, and coleslaw
    Jarek M.

    TX BBQ rocks! Service and ambience: Backwoods BBQ is located 5min drive from the Fredericksburg Main Street which is perfect because it's away from the tourists as well as hustle and bustle of the wineries. The place is big and can accommodate many BBQ lovers. Don't worry about parking spaces either. There was a live music during our visit which made it super cool too. Food: Delicious! You must come and try it when you are in the area. All meats were moist, tender, and well seasoned. They offer good selection of tasty side dishes to accompany their tasty meats. Soft drinks, tea, coffee and beers are available to order. Pricing: Affordable and well worth it!

    Leftover fat from Brisket & Tri-tip

    I just left the restaurant so my memory is relatively intact. I ordered a combo plate of Brisket & Tri-tip at $18.50. At checkout I noticed a $3.00 "up charge". It was explained to me it was due to the price of beef .......Their menu is a chalk board.....why not change it to state "$21.50" for the combo ? Duh ! I had water and that CUP cost $0.50. Of course on the ticket , I had options ranging up to 25% for TIP ! This is a self serve restaurant...order/pickup at the counter . So I left a zip tip. The bad news was both meats consisted of 2/3 FAT. I even took a photo !2

    Pork Ribs, sausage, turkey, brisket

    Me and my Bfs favorite bbq place (and we've eaten bbq all throughout Texas) I personally love their turkey the most- he loves the brisket- everything is super tender, I've never gotten dry meat here- the ribs are amazing- nothing is to greasy, and the BBQ sauce is DELICIOUS + can never skip the Mac and cheese it's so good. 100% recommend this place.

    Pork ribs, coleslaw, potato salad, pinto beans and white bread and jalapeños
    Carolyn M.

    The barbecue is delicious and permeated with what I believe is mesquite smoke! I love their pork ribs. They are meaty and tender and spicy with salt and coarse pepper. The sausage is so good and is coarse grind and beef, I think. The beef brisket has a great flavor and I prefer the fatty cut. Backwoods also serves beef ribs and pork chops, but I've never tried them. . Thursday is the rib lunch special. Friday night is steak night is one I'm looking forward to trying. As far as I know, all of the sides and desserts are made from scratch and are delicious. The pinto beans are really good and...BONUS they are free. Soooo, every plate comes with 2 sides which doesn't include beans! Every body is so friendly and welcoming at Backwood's. It's the closest thing to the original Cooper 's barbecue in Mason, Tx that you will find. Try it ! You will be back again soon. It's like old school Texas Barbecue.

    One meat plate with brisket, Mac, and potato salad.

    Ribs were really good, very tender, as was brisket. Was pretty expensive so not sure I'd go back.

    Had the brisket today and it was dry and flavorless. So many other great places for BBQ. Pass on this one.

    Sunset Grill is one of the best breakfasts I have had ANYWHERE and I will come here every time I'm…read morein Fredericksburg! I had see it recommended by so many people and I'm happy to report that it lived up to the hype (and still impressed me)! NOTES: - Reservations: no... walk in only - Parking: a few spots on the side of the building but free street parking nearby as well - Closed on Wednesday THE HIGHS: - Our server, Kevin, was PHENOMENAL... he was friendly but fast and efficient! - Coffee was strong and refilled constantly - Food came out quickly and everything was fresh - Not a single bad bite... everything was delicious! THE LOWS: - I wish I had more stomach space to try other items! THE PRICE: An absolute STEAL for how good the food is! - Country Biscuit and Sausage Gravy ($13.50 + $1 for cheese added to scrambled eggs) - Josephine ($13) - Short Stack Pancake ($6) - Biscuit ($2.50) - Side of Grits ($4) The total was $44.50 after tax ($3.30) and a credit card processing fee ($1.20) but before tip. (We also got coffee but weren't charged for it) BEST BITES: - Josephine (biscuit was thick and soft, egg was fried perfectly, brie cheese was creamy and delicious, honey ham added the perfect savory element, and the fig preserves added a nice touch of sweetness) - Pancakes (thick and fluffy... everything you'd want them to be) - Grits (simple but delicious... I've had a lot of grits and these were the perfect texture) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Sunset Grill after seeing it recommended by so many people... it was a must-try while in Fredericksburg and it was one of my favorite meals of the trip! The service was fantastic, the prices are affordable, and the food is top-tier for comfort breakfast. I already can't wait to come back and will recommend it to everyone I know visiting Fredericksburg!

We went with The French Lady Omelette (spinach, mushrooms, bacon, Brie, tomatoes and onions) and the pancake. I asked for a side of peanut butter for my pancake which our server willingly accommodated. The food was good and the service was great. Definitely worth a visit!

To go we purchased pretzels, cookies and other bakery items. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back.

    Old German Bakery & Restaurant had been highly recommended as a must-visit when in Fredericksburg…read morebut I was incredibly disappointed by the overall experience. NOTES: - Reservations: no... walk in only - Parking: a few spots in front but free street parking nearby as well - Online ordering: available on their website through PopMenu for pickup - Closed Wednesday and Thursday THE HIGHS: - Arrived around 8:00 am on a Sunday morning and got seated right away - Coffee was decent... not the strongest but good enough - Workers were all very nice THE LOWS: - My poached eggs on the Country Benedict were cold... it seemed like they had sat for a while before being served (the sausage and gravy weren't hot either but they at least had a little warmth) - I wanted to get some items from the bakery but after being so disappointed in the breakfast I passed THE PRICE: Reasonably priced for the portion size - 2 Coffees ($3 each) - Country Benedict ($15.25) - Holstein Schnitzel ($18.75) - German Pancake ($6.75) - Opa's Smoked Sausage Link ($5) BEST BITES: - Opa's smoked sausage link (flavorful and juicy) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Old German Bakery & Restaurant after seeing it recommended online by so many people but I left wishing I had eaten breakfast somewhere else. Maybe the bakery is better than the breakfast but I won't be recommending it to anyone I know visiting Fredericksburg.
