    The Saloon is another Albert Hotel property where takes you back to the 1800s but without the stinky smell (talking about the horses outside, spittoons and and the art of not bathing). The place is authentic and great to enjoy a seat at the long wood bar. Even if you don't drink its worth walking in to check it out.

    The bartender was friendly and made great drinks! My whiskey sour was made with honeysuckle rye and egg whites and it was so good! And she made hearts in the foam

    Cute bar on Main St that we stopped into before going to dinner. We placed our order at the bar and then easily snagged a table in the large space. We had a frozen margarita and a tequila so I can't speak to the cocktail menu but the margarita was great.

    The service was great once we were able to get a seat at the bar cause the bar was packed when we walked in. Great place to kick back, relax, have a drink, and be social.

    I love to stop by here when I'm in Fredricksburg. It may not look like much but if you are craving a queso hot dog and a frosty beer on a hot day, definitely stop here.

    Great drinks! We had the frozen margarita and frozen whisky Coke - both great on a hot summer day. They had a great array of liquor and a few bar snacks (chips, nuts and hot dogs) I think a chips and queso option or popcorn machine would be a good addition as a simple bar food to encourage more, uh, drinking! Overall great experience, great service.

    How could I rate this place anything but 5 stars?!? My great grandfather built and ran it in the late 1800s as The White Elephant Saloon. Love it's opened back up as a saloon. A special nod to Chris and Autumn!

    The menu and atmosphere were a bit underwhelming. I'd recommend this for a quick stop while on Main, and keep the orders simple.

    On a poker run me and my friends decided to try Belly Up Brew Pub for burgers. Despite the busy…read moreatmosphere the staff was attentive and ensured our needs were met promptly. We ordered the Ruben & chili and burgers with potato salad both delicious. The pub offers indoors seating (10 tables or so) and outdoor seating a bar and a micro brewery ambiance with stainless steel beer tanks. We enjoyed the food, beer, and welcoming service. We'll definitely return P.S. Your sticker is now on my cooler.

There's inside and outside seating as well as bar. You enter and they hand you the menus. Despite the red neon order here sign right next to the entrance counter, it's not readily apparent that you do indeed order there. And I noticed it wasn't just us waiting for someone to come take our order as we waited. You seat yourself so unless they tell you directly to order at the counter you could miss it. So when the red neon sign finally clicked in my head, I went over to order. But while I was ordering two more parties came up and asked if they needed to order there. So maybe some more clarity up front outside the sign haha I ordered the Cali burger, my son had a burger, and they had a fajita special that his mom ordered. We also ordered a pretzel. Obviously being a pub they had beers. Non/alcoholic was a limited assorted of coke fair. Only unsweetened tea. No lemonade. Pretzel was soft and delicious. My son's mom loved the fajitas and the beans that came with them. The burgers were also really good. Bread nice and soft. Patties a good thickness. We all enjoyed what we had. No fries though. You get chips for your potato fix. The staff was also very friendly. It wasn't too loud in there and we were able to talk easily. If you're hungry don't pass them by.

The staff were very friendly so no issues there. We went in on a Friday at 6:00 pm and were the only ones dining. Shortly after one other couple came in. Not sure if it's this dead because summer is over or because it was a hot day but we were surprised how empty it was for a Friday evening. The menu itself isn't bad. No appetizers on the menu but a decent selection of entrees so no issues there. I order the NY strip with grilled Brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. I'll start with the positive - the steak was ordered medium-rare and it was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, there was just very very little flavor or seasoning to the steak - it wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. The Brussel sprouts were huge - and I expected they would be 'hard' in the center (as often happens with larger Brussel sprouts) but I was pleasantly surprised that they were perfectly cooked and tender. Unfortunately they were also very under seasoned. One of them had an oil or seasoning on it and it was delicious but the rest had none and lacked flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were the highlight! Potato skins in them; nice rich and smooth texture and perfectly flavored. Best part of the meal! We also tried the steak tacos which had thin strips of steak in corn tortillas with corn, a sauce and cilantro and came with black beans and rice. The strips of steak were excellent - slightly charred (perfectly) on the outside and flavorful. The sauce had a wonderful flavor to it. The tortillas were very soft and moist. The tacos were very good. The black beans were black beans and the rice was rice - neither were bad and neither were great - no special flavor. Would we come back? If we were staying at the property again we might go back. The convenience is their main selling point. That said, Main Street in Fredericksburg with literally dozens of restaurants is only 3 minutes away. If The Club could 'up' their seasoning, they would certainly be worthy of 4 stars.

I had garlic mashed potatoes and coleslaw and my wife had garlic mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries. So - if we were only rating them on the chicken fried steak they would get a '5'. The steak wasn't a large portion but the gravy had a great flavor. The breading wasn't overly done and it wasn't greasy and there was no gristle in the steak. It was really good. The meal went downhill from there. The coleslaw wasn't actually bad - it was mayo based and fairly creamy - very creamy - actually too creamy. The garlic mashed potatoes were just not good. They were dry, not smooth and the flavor was definitely off. We each only had two bites. The sweet potato fries were waffle fries and they were rubbery - not crispy at all. Given all of the other food options in Fredericksburg we definitely won't be going back.

The brewery was the first place I ever had a scotch egg, my dad would get a small beer flight, maybe we'd get a brat, he made it fun. I'm pretty sure it had just opened back then. We got into town, checked in at the Trueheart Hotel, and immediately walked to the brewery because I was so excited. I probably went in to this with the unrealistic expectation that it would be the same as when I was a kid. It had a great start. The hostess was nice, and our server was, too. I wish we had gotten to sit in the back room with the long tables, We started with the beer flight and a scotch egg. The beer flight was okay. I was expecting really good German beers, mind-blowing, but these were just fine. A pale ale, an IPA, a flat porter were on the list, just not a memorable selection, although the red ale was good. The flight was a good price, though. For our appetizer, I wasn't expecting such a small scotch egg for $9. I mean, it was really small. I've been to several places around my area for scotch eggs, and they're usually $11-12 for two and they're properly sized. But we're on vacation and I wanted nostalgia so fine. It was delicious, and the creole mustard the scotch egg comes with was divine. More on that later. For our meals we tried both schnitzels. I was disappointed they don't have spaetzle, I'm pretty sure they used to. My boyfriend had the schinken and I had the jager. I don't like ham but his was infinitely better because of the gravy. The gravy on the jager schnitzel I got was heavy with some seasoning, maybe sage. It's all I could taste, and I couldn't just push the gravy off because my pork was fried to death. I barely ate any of mine. The sides we got (you get two per plate) were German potato salad, fries, onion rings, and vegetable medley. The fries and onion rings were great, especially when dipping in the creole mustard we saved from the scotch egg. The German potato salad is supposed to be sweet and sour and my boyfriend usually likes it, but this was way sweet, he wasn't a fan. The vegetable medley was good, but seemed really out of place as a side, normally with schnitzel you'd expect green beans or a salad or something, we got broccoli and squash. They did have a side salad, but it was $5. Not sure why a side salad couldn't just replace the two sides for no upcharge. I will say the rolls were awesome. At the end our server let us sit and hang out for a few minutes, he didn't rush us. We asked if they sell the creole mustard in bottles but they don't, so he said we could pay $5 for a togo container of it. We got probably a cup, so I was fine with that, I really loved it that much. We paid, I noticed he charged us $5 for tarter sauce that we didn't have, figured it was the only way to ring up the mustard. We left with our prized creole mustard. Cut to this weekend when we opened it to make a sandwich, and what we actually got was tarter sauce, so somewhere along the way he'd forgotten what we asked for. We live 200 miles from Fredericksburg, there's no fixing that, but maybe that's on me because I should have checked it. They really should sell bottles of that mustard, it's very good. Overall, it just wasn't the experience I was expecting. It's not the same, it's been over 30 years so I totally understand, and I did try to be fair with my critique. It wasn't great, it was just okay.
