    Great food! Even if you're not a beer connoisseur, the food is worth the trip. The chili is great. Burgers a great. You can't go wrong!

    This is the best peach cobbler!! Good combo with peach beer..
    Mary Alice M.

    Service was amazing.. had hotdog and peach beer and peach beer.. the staff was amazing..

    Vanilla Porter.  Yummy
    Mike H.

    Nice place on a side street the casual passer by never goes down. I found it in Yelp and it had positive reviews so I walked a half mile there. I had a vanilla porter on tap and it was great. Perfect temperature and very enjoyable. I also had the Cesar salad with a piece of grilled chicken on top. I'm not sure what the dressing is but there was NO BITE to it. There was no Parmesan in the salad but clumps in something else kinda like crumbled feta. The chicken tasted Like mystery meat, kinda pressed like a nugget, grilled and sliced. I'm really not sure about it but it tasted ok and it was safe. The atmosphere was great, bar tender great and place was cool. I will go back but not for the same food I picked. (Guess I should have read more details on the menu) Service was solid. I was in and out enjoyably fast.

    Beer flight. Blood orange, send it double ipa, gunga, and house ipa beer flight
    Frank A.

    Was looking forward to coming here based on other reviews but was left disappointed. Perhaps I came in on an off night or shift change. The service at the start was good but disappeared after ordering two flights of beer. I'm not sure if waitress was having a rough night or perhaps just didn't want to serve us as it took at least 10 minutes to get her attention for some water. One of the glasses of water came with some floating unidentified debris in it. Might have been the conversation and bantering with the regulars. The beers were okay but I did enjoy the Send it double ipa and gunga ipa! The board itself was better looking than what it tasted. The bacon jam was good (unburned portion) but the scrapings of the griddle gave it an off taste that was not pleasant. The sauerkraut was nice and mild and complimented the pretzel. The pretzel was very delicious combined with the board but was missing salt on its own. The sausage was decent but I did not like it cut in very thin slices but that's just my personal opinion. The jalapeño sausage (only one I can distinguish) was delicious. The others were too bit burned to get full flavor from. The pickles and green beans were good. The mustard was great tasting and complimented the jalapeno sausage and pretzel nicely. The beer cheese tasted like queso but tasted okay but had a watered down thinning texture to it. The place itself is very chill and laid back and over all nice atmosphere. They do have a cool patio area that's chill and they do allow dogs in that area. The mustard, pretzel, and ipa is what helped me keep this at a solid 3 stars. Once again perhaps I came in on an off night.

    Taco Salad
    Sabrina L.

    My rating is a 4.5. While visiting Fredericksburg we decided to eat before heading back to Austin. I found this place on Yelp and we had a great experience. There were 5 of us and the weather was perfect to sit outdoors. Our server was quick and friendly despite it being busy. We ordered the French Dip, their special which was a tri tip sandwich, a grill cheese, nachos & the taco salad. The sandwiches were one of the best we have tried all 5 stars. The taco salad was a little different but my daughter said it was good, a 4 star. The nachos could have been a little better. My father had them heat it up that was only a 3 star. The server was a 5 star and the place itself was a 5 star with lovely stinging lights outside. Bathrooms were very clean. I would definitely recommend this place

    Come for the beer stay for the food!

    Great great beers! Great great hamburgers Great atmosphere Just try it you won't be disappointed!

    This was one of my favorite places in Fredericksburg! The staff is friendly. We met the owner and she was a wealth of information on what to do in the area. I had the caramel apple sangria which was delicious. My husband tried a few of the home-brewed beer. We also had the sausage platter... which left us both stuffed! Different sausages, bacon jam, bavarian pretzel, dill pickles and pickled green beans... yum! Definitely put this on your "hit list" when you're in Fredericksburg!

    Cali Copycat burger
    Cherrie B.

    Found this on yelp with great reviews so we went and tried it out today for lunch. It did not disappoint. We ordered the cali copycat burger, hill country reuben and they were tasty. The hostess was nice and accommodating. Ambiance has a chill vibe. Not very spacious inside but it holds decent number of customers. Also, there is an outdoor seating if you prefer that. Great stop for lunch.

    Brew Pub Sausage Board excellent!
    Scott B.

    Fun, new brewpub in FBG. Small interior with 3 TVs, nice sized patio. They have 4 or 5 house brews on tap + 3-4 additional area brews. Their porter had a good flavor profile. Their honey blonde was my fave. Food wise, the Brew Pub Sausage Board was outstanding. I'll be back to try their "Big Jam" burger. Our server Eric gave us the white glove treatment.

    After reading through some of the recent reviews, we were hesitant in coming here because of some…read moreof the service and food issues. Since there are no business owner responses, the problems could be persisting. However, we've enjoyed our time here in the past so we thought we'd try it again. We got here at 5 pm on a Thursday and the place was mostly empty. That usually translates into better service and likely a better prepared meal as well. Sure enough, this theory was correct. We had two craft beers on the table within three minutes followed by Ruben fritters five minutes after that. The menu here is pretty simple with the expected German twist to it. We just stuck to a salad and burger. The salad was fresh and good, but the burger was pretty average and you have to add your own mayo and mustard. Even by adding cheese and mushrooms it still fell within the three star range and the fries were just OK. The beers were correct to style, but the hoppier beers were slightly tame. It's pretty much three stars overall, but the service was great so 31/2*. I'd still come back and try something else off the menu before the weekend and before 6.

    Brewery #374…read more Ordinarily I hate giving 1-star reviews because that means I had a bad experience. A month has passed since I visited, and I am now happy to write this review. We came in sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas on a rainy night and were seated right away. After waiting like 10 mins the waiter came and took our drink order. The ladyfriend had a water and I got a flight of beer. He showed up 5 mins later with her water and took our food order. We order a pretzel as an appetizer, and each ordered a salad as an entree. Then queue the Jeopardy theme as we waited. 1st came out the salads after 15 mins or so. I asked about my beer and the waiter says, "yeah dude I asked the bartender and he said you'd get it before Christmas" and proceeds to laugh. I smile and let it go. So now I am watching the bartender and he's not busy. He actually took other people's order at the bar. Then comes the pretzel 10 mins later. The waiter says, "Can I get you anything else?" I say, "Yeah my beer. How am I supposed to eat this without anything to drink?' He says " woah dude don't kill the messenger". I then went full Karen and asked to speak to a manager who never came. Finally, after finishing the salad and a piece if the pretzel, the beer came. I got my order completely out of order. The pretzel was stale, and the cheese was cold. The salad was fine, and the beer was average. The service sucked and the bartender was an assclown. Tourist trap craphole and oh they didn't even have brewery stickers.

We came in just to get some beer, but it had more of a restaurant feel than traditional brewery. We sat in the bar area, and whenever I go to a new brewery, I always get a flight to try multiple beers. Altstadt has flights but they are prefixed, you can't make your own. Slight irritation but nothing major. I ended up getting a more German style flight with a Kolsch, Hefe, Lager, and Amber. They were all good with the Hefe being my favorite. I am usually an IPA fan, and they had one, but I was not able to try it. We weren't that hungry, so we just ordered some fries with beer cheese. These were crisp little pillows of heaven, and the cheese was a perfect dip. The menu was heaven on German food, but there's a wide range with some upscale items as well. The place was probably too fancy for me and my Homer Simpson hoodie, but they were still accommodating. Next time I will wear better clothes and have dinner but let me pick my own flight please.

Unfortunately, our service with John was not up to par. We came in between breakfast and lunch hours, which we completely understand can be a transition time.

We were first told we couldn't order an appetizer because the kitchen wasn't ready, then later told we could -- but by that time we couldn't order breakfast anymore. We were hoping to enjoy both breakfast and an appetizer, so the back-and-forth was disappointing. When my sister-in-law asked for a second glass of brut, he responded with "Another one?" and repeated it again while walking away, which came across as dismissive and uncomfortable. Similarly, when my father-in-law asked for a second beer, the reaction felt bothered rather than accommodating. To top it off, our checks were incorrect. He did offer to fix them, but at that point we were ready to just pay and leave. Again, the food was truly good and the restaurant itself is beautiful.
