My COLD BEER - Heffe -
Ron M.

Went to Fredericksburg for a couple of nights with friends. Ate dinner at Fredericksburg Brewing Company. We all have here before and Loved their Food, Service and Cold Beer. I ordered their "Oma's" Meatloaf, which I have had before. This time I think someone forgot to mix it up because the first bite was Super Spicy that it felt like my mouth was on fire. After a couple of bites, the Heat was much less, with no spiciness the last couple of bites. Everything else on the plate was absolutely delicious. The others ordered the same thing, the Reuben, and they all said it was the Best Reuben Ever. Lots of Corned Beef and very, very tasty. The Beer was Cold and the Wine was a decent-sized pour. For dessert, we shared their Peach Cobbler. It was served Heat Hot, had a crunchy outer crust, and Very Fresh Peaches. Gaelyn was our Server, and she was the Best. Funny, checked on us at the right times and earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. We also had her before several years back and she remembered us. Fredericksburg Brewing Company ROCKS every time we have been there. It's a must Go-To when visiting Fredericksburg. Their prices are below the norm anywhere in town - and they have COLD BEER.

What do mean the jagerschitzel isn't served with spaetzle? Food was OK. Place kinda looks like a beer hall. Just wasn't overly impressed. Oh, it really is a brewery, and a transfer pump ran during the entirety of of meal. Did not like this either. Next time I'll head a little further east for a beer.

Great place for brew and food. Good selection and atmosphere. Service great. Lots of tourist snd thru were getting food out fast. Lots of shops around this area.

Stale pretzel and bland cheese/mustard
Mike H.

Brewery #374 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.

3 Sample Beers  Peach Pipe pale ale  Honey Cream Ale Harper Valley IPA
Yvonne V.

Food was ok. We started with the fried pickles which were very good had a little crunch and it was fried perfectly. As for the our entrees I had the Jager Schnitzel not a lot of flavor and the Bavarian style mushroom sauce was bland and as for my sides the German potato salad was delicious and the breaded fries were good. My friend ordered the Oma's Meatloaf he said it was ok as for his 2 sides mashed potatoes and a side salad. I also ordered the sampler beers and those were very good really enjoyed the taste the beers I ordered was the peach pipe pale ale was my favorite I also tried the Honey Cream ale and Harper Valley I.P.A.

Bratwurst Sandwich
Zach H.

Pretty cool German themed brewery right on Main Street. We went for lunch as a large party and had a decent experience. Service and food was just okay. Beer was solid. I got the bratwurst sandwich with German potato salad. Brat to Swiss cheese to bread ratio was kinda off but it still tasted decent.

Daniel Z.

Food gets a "5". Pepper sausage was incredible as was the pretzel and bun that came with the sausage. Great mustard and cheese sauce for dipping as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was an absolute miserable man trying to be a tough guy. It was two in the afternoon and we were on vacation just stopping for a beer and apps. This man wouldn't have a job if it weren't for people like us so maybe the entire business industry in town should think about that. Wouldn't return.

Jagerschnitzel???
Devi M.

Jagerschnitzel???German Potato Salad???? My husband says no, it's overcooked pork with boxed or packet gravy. Very dry. Potato Salad was hot potatoes in vinegar. Ewwww. He lived in Germany for 6 years and NOTHING here tasted like more than b average and below average bar food. Go for the beer Hefeweizen was "not bad". Waitress was sweet, tea was weak. I don't recommend.

Beer flight

Stopped by on a Friday around lunch time & had a great experience sitting at the bar. Gaelyn was very nice and attentive, as well as informative about the beer flight! The Rueben Fritters were amazing too!! We will definitely be back.

Half grill chicken sandwich.
Raquel L.

Ewww, what happened? Granted we haven't been here in 6-7 years but man! This food has gone down hill! The scotch egg was drowning in coleslaw and the sausage was so thin. We got the grilled chicken sandwich the chicken was so thin. I was looking forward to eating here but we won't be back.

Artichoke dip
Scarlett T.

First time here and when we entered we were greeted and seated. We had not the best impression for first time dining because we were seated but no one came to take our drinks or food order. We waited for a while until a waitress came and then told us, " i don't know where your waitress is because she is no where to be found so i am going to step in to help. What drinks would you like?" We ordered for 2 waters and a honey cream ale. That waitress left and then a while later our waitress that we never met came with waters and put it on our table and told us one moment and walk away. We were baffled because there was like only 3 other tables (including us) that is seated. Our waitress didn't seem happy and then after a while later came back to take our order. We had ordered: 0/5 stars: the artichoke dip it was all cream and lacked salt and flavor. It just taste like cream of mushroom consistency and bland. It wasn't cheesy and just cream. The tortilla chips were not fresh and stale. 0/5: sausage sampler the grey sausage was uneatable. It was dry and just didn't taste good like it was bad. The pepperwurst texture was not bonded together and was way off. One of the sausage was ok but it wasn't anything special. Our order of sides were wrong. The side of sauerkraut was very salty and acidic. The red cabbage was super sweet. 0/5 JAGER SCHNITZEL the pork was dry and under seasoned. I felt ill after having a couple of bites of my meal and stopped. The German potato salad was bland and unappetizing. The potato tasted like it was from a can. Onion rings were drenched in oil and super greasy. Under seasoned as well. 0/5: peach cobbler: we were excited anout the peach cobbler since Fredericksburg was known for their peaches but we received raw pie dough that wasn't entirely cooked. It tasted like raw flour and the strangest thing is the vanilla ice cream doesn't taste like normal vanilla ice cream. It's not sweet and bland. I have no idea how that can be possible. 4/5: honey cream ale - this was the only item we enjoyed. Hint of honey and it was smooth. Do I recommend this place? Maybe just go for the beers. The service and food is not recommended unless you prefer bland food and a tummy ache.

Salmon with onion rings and mashed potatoes
Nichelle R.

I have came here two separate times and I've had a great time each time. There's a lot of reviews about the waiters forgetting and such but each time I've came they have been so sweet and attentive. I got asked several times what else we needed and just regular check ups. They do have brewery stickers since I literally bought one. This place needs more love I swear! The food and drinks were delicious especially the salmon. The onion rings were done nicely as well. The overall place is clean and is very welcoming.

Biergarten located
Sara M.

A stop in Fredericksburg usually means enjoying the shops, having some coffee with delicious German dessert, and enjoying some German food. So this is exactly the intent when going to Fredericksburg Brewery. Fredericksburg brewery brews its own craft beer, has a beergarten and also a bed-and-breakfast. For this visit, luckily, it wasn't very full. I ordered their Wurst Sandwich, which is a choice of sausage in a toasted hoagie with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut and a side. It was pretty good, and at $12, an ok price. The other person in my group ordered a club sandwich which came with a side of fries. The service was good but not extraordinary. The place has a very comfortable feel and they brew their own beer, so it certainly worth a visit.

No. The outdoor area is actually enclosed and is part of the restaurant (only a little separated).

Is there a dog friendly area at this location?

I saw a dog in there while I was eating so I think so.

Are we able to sit down for drinks or only curbside?

Unless it has recently changed you should be able to go in for drinks and food.

Sauerkraut Balls. The perfect opener. Five golden spheres with a shattering panko crust give way to…read morea savory filling of sauerkraut and sausage, tangy and rich at the same time. A whole grain mustard crème fraîche is drizzled over the top and pooled underneath, and a swoosh of bright herb oil around the plate cuts through the fried richness. It's bar food elevated, and it pairs well with a cold beer. Duck Schnitzel. This is the dish people drive to Fredericksburg for, and it earns the reputation. A hand-breaded duck breast is fried to a deep golden crust and crowned with a sunny-side-up egg, its yolk begging to be broken. Underneath is a hearty plate: käsespätzle on one side, sweet-tart braised red cabbage on the other, and a glossy kirsch demi-glace studded with whole dark cherries tying it all together. Duck and cherry is a classic pairing, and here it gives the schnitzel a depth you won't find in a standard pork version. It's rich and generous, and it's best shared with someone hungry.

Lots of natural lighting. Candle on the table and nice dishware elevated the ambiance. Started with the sauerkraut balls for appetizer. Lovely. I'm a skeptic with fried foods and the breading was light with a large portion of kraut and sausage inside. The mustard crema balanced it nicely. If I come back, I'll ask for a couple of pickles with it. Entrees: we ordered a wurst plate and a duck schnitzel to share between two adults. It was the perfect balance of richness with homemade vinegar sides to balance. Service was warm and professional. Exactly what I expect for the price point. Waiter was knowledgeable about the food and pleasant without being too involved (given that we were the only table at the time). Waters were never dry and the seating was comfortable. We didn't drink but it would be a nice place to hang with a cocktail. Impressive drink menu.

I ended up with catfish and red cabbage, and it was so delightful no crumb was left behind. I was told the burger is also a must try. Our waiter was kind, professional and attentive. You can tell there is pride in the people who work here for what they do. They go above and beyond and make it a great expereince. After dinner, we sat at the beautiful wooden bar with interesting statues and old beer steins galore and met the bartender. He seemed very knowledgeable and showed us some secrets as to why the margaritas there tasted a touch above the rest. I adored the old extravagant clocks on the walls and the feeling of being in an ancient tavern in a far away land where you may run into a mage who wants to get lost in margarittaville for a few laughs.

The carrot and cabbage soup was amazing too. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes off their menu

A must-stop on Main Street if you're in Fredericksburg for breakfast. I had the German pancakes…read morewith a ham and two eggs. The pancakes are the thin, crêpe-style kind, served with fresh lemon and powdered sugar the traditional way, and they hit the spot. We also ordered homemade bread and biscuits with a bowl of sausage cream gravy, a great Texas-German combo. The bread is clearly baked in-house, hearty and fresh. Save room for the bakery cases on your way out. The selection is huge: almond bows, poppy seed danish, apple strudel, sour cream puffs, turnovers, soft pretzels, kolaches, sausage-jalapeño rolls, cinnamon and nut rolls, and stollen already out for the holidays. The $7 box of day-old pastries is a great deal if you want to take a variety home. The atmosphere is old-school and unpretentious, exactly what you want from a German bakery in the Hill Country. Highly recommend for breakfast, and for stocking up on pastries for the drive home.
