It's hard to find bad BBQ in Texas. SLIMS is delicious. Chopped bbq sandwich was amazing. Tons of meat on this sandwich and the plate that my husband got. We all left stuffed. Outdoor seating only. It's a little hot to sit outside, but they have plenty of shade and some misting machines to help keep you cool. It was totally worth it. The yelp app is confused on the address.

I'm gonna bump this up to five stars even though I'm nowhere near Fredericksburg Texas. I was very impressed with the quality of their food. Adios for now Slims BBQ. Keep doing what you're doing and you continue selling out every day no doubt.

Sliced brisket plate with mac n cheese & potato salad.

This place was soo good and they gave us so much food for a good price. Everything was delicious.

Nice ribs. It's the smoke rings for me.

Wife and I got food poisoning after eating the sauce. It tasted a bit off but we thought it was their recipe. Ruined our vacation.

We ordered the brisket and pork ribs. The brisket was dry and the pork ribs were a bit chewy.

However, they will charge you for a cup of water and there is a $.40 service fee which I cannot explain. At least there was no credit card fee, but the tip screen was waiting. To be honest, their bacon and egg basic taco is pretty average, nothing special, but their red spicy sauce definitely took it up a notch. Their potato sausage and egg taco barely had any discernible sausage to it. It's the communal salsa bar that really makes the tacos extra special. They do have a fountain drink station, bottled soda on ice and a pot of coffee by the order window. You can get quite a variety of mixed drinks like margaritas along with numerous beer choices, although no local beers. Because of the value and sauces, I would definitely come back to this spot again. And just so you know, they do not have a public bathroom here and they are closed Monday. Ten informative photos to fill in what words miss.

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.

I didn't care for it. We were a large party and sat immediately, which was nice, and the restaurant…read morewas calm and nearly empty for a Sunday but honestly, there's a reason it was so dead. 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.

Hill & Vine was, without exaggeration, one of the most incredible dining experiences I've ever had…read more From the moment we arrived, everything felt special--the beautiful rustic setting, the welcoming atmosphere, the lively outdoor patio, and the genuine warmth of the staff. It has that rare combination of being polished and memorable while still feeling relaxed and distinctly Texas. The food was phenomenal. The cheeseburger was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, especially with the bacon jam. The cilantro pesto pasta was outstanding, with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked shrimp. We also loved the chicken schnitzel, the burrata, and the black bean hummus--everything tasted fresh, generous, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu does an excellent job showcasing Texas comfort food with creative, seasonal touches. And dessert was unforgettable. The croissant bread pudding and blackberry crumble were absolutely incredible--rich, comforting, and generous enough to share, although I wouldn't blame anyone for keeping them all to themselves. The drinks and Texas wine selection were equally impressive, and the peach margarita is a must-try. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our server was attentive, personable, and offered excellent recommendations without ever being intrusive. The entire team made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere--including the patio, music, and beautiful dining spaces--made it feel like far more than just a meal. I left Hill & Vine completely full, incredibly happy, and already planning my next visit. If you're in Fredericksburg, do yourself a favor and go.

Figure out which are the good ones and skip the others. Definitely order the margarita ceviche. Enough to split. Fresh fish, great flavor. Definitely order the fried pie. Enough for 3 to split. It's incredible with southern peach fried pie with flaky crust, pecan Ice cream and rum caramel sauce. The watermelon green tomato salad with goat cheese was dull. Not sure how they accomplished that given the ingredients, but I'd pass on that. The French onion soup was ok. Nothing memorable, not bad. The tri tip was again just ok. Too well-done and flavorless. A little dry. It was tender though. The carrots served with it needed salt. I'd return. Would like to try other dishes and see what's good.

There is a covered attached patio that helps during their busy times (weekends). Even though they have gotten more popular, their service and food quality have not suffered one iota. You may arrive hangry, but you will not leave hungry. Their portions are generous, and you can even order a breakfast mimosa to jump-start your day. Our Chilaquiles and Huevos Divorciados were cooked and served perfectly. The chilaquiles sauce, always red, was outstanding. Dis and Dat: They are open until 2 PM for lunch, and they have expanded their weekend hours. Verify via their website. Parking is offstreet and the lot is fairly large. Service is exceptional. Their young waitstaff are all well-trained. Don't be surprised if the manager stops by to check on you. We were bummed when Nury's on Main closed as their Pizole was 5-stars but this location is an easy 5-star review.
