Whenever I have friends or family visiting from out of town, this is one of my go-to spots to show off. And their apple pie is a must. Seriously, it's the kind of dessert you start craving again the minute you leave. Great food, a charming location, and a relaxing country drive to get there--what more could you ask for?

Service is always very attentive & friendly. Dinner was amazing! Everyone in my party of 4 had the surf & turf. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the shrimp were delicious. We added au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. The au gratin potatoes are hands down the best I've ever had. We couldn't pass up desserts either and shared the crème brûlée and the icebox pie. Everything was decadent. The thoughtful cards & confetti left by the staff to celebrate our milestones were a sweet touch too! Be sure to make a reservation for the Chess Club Steakhouse soon!

I've ordered from The Pastry Zone several times and Chef Stevens is as good as it gets! What I love…read moreabout her and what I think separates her from other pastry chefs is she treats her cakes and other sweets like art! They make a delightful and delicious experience to eat :) I'm excited to try all of her cakes but from the few I've had, the chocolate caramel cake stands out. It was firm, moist, and rich but not over-the-top sugary like some cakes are. If you're looking for something fun and sophisticated, give her treats a try!

The Pharmacy is one of my favorite cafes to visit when I am in down town Fredericksburg…read more I found the service friendly, the ambiance lovely, but most of all, I enjoy the quality of their flavoring syrups, the majority in which are made in-house. I hate artificial flavors and cannot eat them, which makes getting fun drinks a challenge. When I come in, I like getting an iced lavender breve, or one of their special seasonal type of drinks on the menu. Their baked goods are also created fresh daily and have been tasty and rich whenever I have eaten there. I also feel the prices are fair for what you get. I can't wait to come back soon!!

I finally made it to 85°C Bakery Cafe, and I can definitely see why it's so popular! There are so…read moremany pastries, breads, and desserts to choose from that you'll want to take one of everything. My favorite was the Sea Salt Matcha. The matcha had a rich, earthy flavor, and the light sea salt cream on top added the perfect touch without making it overly sweet. It was smooth, refreshing, and one of the better matcha drinks I've had. I also picked up a few pastries, and everything tasted fresh and flaky. The café was clean, the staff was friendly, and despite being busy, the service was quick. If you're a matcha lover, I'd definitely recommend trying the Sea Salt Matcha along with one (or a few!) of their pastries. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery.

TLDR: Was visiting my daughter, we decided to do a little road trip to some hill cntry towns. I…read morethought we would do a bbq sandwich tour/comparison. I'd earmarked Old 300 as the place in Blanco, to go up against the others. We arrived on a Monday about 1:20p. After lunch hour, and the place was packed. (that's an indicator right there. One of the slowest days for restaurants during the week, and not at peak meal time.) The line went quick. They have what's listed as a "BBQ Sandwich" - it's a blend of chopped brisket and chopped pulled pork (not in long, stringy strands) together. We were going to hit other towns & sandwiches, so for the two of us we just ordered one sandwich and a side of potato salad. We got it to-go. Sat at an empty table. Got ourselves fixins - some doctored up onions (sliced, seems like they sauté them a little in butter and then top w fresh cracked black pepper), pickles, and both their Sweet and their Spicy sauces. They brought it out quickly, less than 5 min. We opted to just eat it there instead of take it to the next town. We topped with pickles, onions, and the Sweet sauce. Oh my freakin' sweet Lord! In this small Texas town with an unassuming spot a block and a half off the main road going through town, easily one of the top 5 bbq sandwiches of all time - no joke! To break it down, we tasted all items individually. The onions are delectable - softened from the sauté, good moisture from the butter, delicious. The Sweet sauce is crazy good. A fantastic balance of sweet, tang, & slight bite. I've never said this before but it's true - told my daughter, "I could just sit here and dip these pickles in this sauce for the next 30 minutes and be completely satisfied." The sauce, yes, is that good. Daughter is not a heat/spice lover, but she did try the Spicy sauce and we both thought it was definitely tame as far as heat goes. We both thought the Spicy sauce was okay. The Sweet sauce, though, stellar! We were overwhelmed by how good it all was. When we got to the car, I said, "All the ingredients together was like a symphony." Next time I visit her, am absolutely gonna suggest another drive out to Blanco specifically, to try some other items on the menu. But I can say this, for the BBQ Sandwich, pickles, doctored onions, and Sweet sauce alone, Old 300 is worth a generous drive and you will 100 percent be happy as a lark. Thanks for fantastic meal, Old 300. Will most definitely be back.

Very friendly people. I went with the recommendation of jalapeño sausage and brisket. The brisket…read morewas nice and moist, exactly how you would expect it to be. The sausage was a little dry but not bad. The best part is, they had some very solid sides. The mashed potatoes were great! They have decent blackberry Cobbler too, something that should be required at every BBQ joint. The sauce was good. I recommend going with the spicy sauce which was really not that spicy at all. Overall, this is a decent Texas BBQ joint. I'd come back

Went on a Saturday afternoon and got a 6 pack of their macarons. They were best I've had in Austin!…read moreThey were fresh, flakey, light and busting with flavor! I got the Rose, grapefruit, lavender, Earl Gary, Orange Heaven and lemon. Each macaron I could vividly taste the flavor they were going for. They were all good, but my favorite were the grapefruit and lemon. The macarons felt a bit too sweet and are pricey, hence removing one star. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood near by and the ambience is very small cute place. Girl at the front was kind. Definitely check this place out for macarons! Will be back for their pastries!
