Very much enjoyed our lunch which reminded us of our many visits to Germany! Outstanding service and delicious fresh food! So rare these days to have expectations surpassed!! read more

Sorry- I used to love this place. Cheesecake is good. I miss the owner- the food and sauces are not authentic anymore. Old review: Wow!!! Authentic German food. Love the decor too! Enjoyed their schnitzels, red cabbage, and potato salad. If you can, leave room for their Black Forrest cake. Enjoy! read more

I won't save the best for last on this review. If you come here you HAVE to get the cheesecake, it really does live up to the hype. The food is overall great quality and the service was good... other than the fact that they basically told us it was okay to not have masks on, and tried on multiple occasions to get us to eat inside when it was pretty packed-- we were just trying to be more covid cautious before the holiday seasons. Other than that it was great! read more

I wanted chicken schnitzel but they only make pork. So, I chose the Reuben. But, they weren't serving sandwiches anymore that day. I ordered a piece of Black Forest Cake. It is blah. Tasteless. Not sweet. A disappointment. read more

Best food, service and beer. Prices were comparable trivia and decorations fun. Definitely a return restaurant

We have driven through Lampasas many times over the years but just discovered this German gem. Very good traditional German food and sides. I had the brat with grilled onions, fries and red cabbage. My hubby had the rahmschnitzel, spaetzle and red cabbage. All very good. Will make a stop here going forward for good German food. Highly recommend! read more

Authentic German fare deep in the heart of Lampasas. This quaint cozy family-owned restaurant is located right on the town square. Just look for the folks waiting on the patio. This is authentic homemade German food so don't expect to be in/out in 30 minutes. Enjoy a pint or two of good German beer and have an appetizer. My schnitzel dinner brought back memories of my trips to Germany. Portions will not leave you hungry but try and leave room for their cheesecake. As I said at the top the food is great. Service is amateurish at best as I sat with an empty beer stein in front of me throughout my meal. Only one time did we have an interaction with our server, at the end of our meal. What I did notice if you are a regular well they will hover all of you. Not an issue as the food is king here. One last nit I had a "wonderful" conversation with the owner as we were waiting. I told him this was our first time and we were really excited to eat here as I've been to Germany a number of times and I miss the food. He informed me that Eve's is the only German restaurant for 200 miles. Huh? Georgetown, Fredericksburg, and New Braunfels would like a word with you. Also at the end of our meal, the owner did stop by and sarcastically said: "So Mr German food connoisseur how was your meal"? It was wonderful thank you... Great interpersonal relationship skills pal! Hopefully, your regulars will keep you afloat as we are one and done... Go for the food it's great! read more

Great Food! Fantastic Service! Very cool place! The ambience of the restaurant is fantastic.

Yes! Yes! Yes! This place is worth every second of your time! Hardest job is deciding what to order! We had the schnitzel salad and sandwich. Both delicious!! Make sure to order the apple or cherry strudel for dessert!! We ordered 2 bratwurst dinners to go, they did an excellent job packing them up so nothing got soggy. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Will most definitely make a reason to come back to visit!! read more

The service was great. The food was above average. Great atmosphere. But, I think we will try other restaurants in the area the next time we visit. read more

Oh my gosh, stop here and eat. On the square in Lampasas, it kind of off the beaten path(highway) so you have to actually go "downtown" to find this jewel. Certainly not a hole in the wall, but probably a mom and pop place that everyone loves. Glenda got a sandwich and I got schnitzel with a side of spätzle. German heaven. The food was definitely 4 star, but now it's dessert time. The apple and cherry strudel were definitely 6 star. The best I have ever had. I'll go back just for that. When we left, we took some of the large soft pretzels to the kiddos. Crispy, yet soft and warm, they were great. More please! See you there. read more

Best lunch I have ever had! So fresh! So delicious! We got the weiner style fried pork with cheese noodles and fries and a chopped salad. North tastes amazing and were very high quality. Very sad we were only passing by, I could eat this everyday! Service was also very good! read more

Last time I went , 3 weeks ago, I was so pleasantly surprised that I could get in, eat at my leisure, the food is great, and not listen to griping. The owners husband wasn't there, so people were seated, there was no yelling, and he didn't tell you to get out so others could sit. An unpredictably nice experience. read more

We come to Lampasas quite often for hunting season ... today is the first time we've really ventured off to try restaurants. We are SO GLAD we stumbled upon Eve's! It is cute and quaint and a full menu! The beer is ice cold and the sandwiches are to die for! The French is what I got ... I could have ate five of them - the Ruben is what my mother in law got, perfect amount of meat and TONS of flavor! It is kid friendly - my son got a HUGE grilled cheese and ate every bit of it! This will definitely be a place we come to every time we are in town ....... I have a feeling I will be craving this sandwich! read more

Eve's Cafe - The French - melted brie with ham on sourdough. Comes with a side of Dijon mustard and may. - German Near Me - Lampasas, Texas

What a hidden gem in the little town of Lampasas. Fantastic German food - like schnitzel, spaetzke and strudel to name a few incredible things on their menu. Service was outstanding, friendly and hospitable. It is off the beaten path but is well worth the visit. The dining room is small so that may be the reason for the reservation link on the main yelp page. read more

Eve's Cafe - German Near Me - Lampasas, Texas

Stop looking. Go to dinner here. My parents, my boyfriend and I came to dinner here earlier tonight, and it was the best German food I've had all year (and I went to Germany in March!) I got the Jager schnitzel and it was delicious. My boyfriend and dad got the cordon bleu special and I was sneaking bites off their plate when they weren't looking. The red cabbage is very authentic and tasty. One final thing: Don't Stop reading. The marshmallow cheesecake is to die for. It is SO good. The whole thing tasted just like toasted marshmallows! We asked for the chef to come tell us how it was made and our waitress told us the owner and namesake, Eve, makes it and that she's got the recipe under wraps. Eve came out and talked to us, thanked us for coming, and didn't divulge her recipe! After we complimented the perfect amount of Graham cracker crust, she did say: "well, you're paying for a cheesecake, not a crust-cake!" So true Eve- and I'm glad you get it!! Seriously. Get it if they have it. read more

Eve's Cafe - Marshmallow cheesecake - German Near Me - Lampasas, Texas

The best spaetzle and schnitzel in ALL of Texas. My sister said the Ruben was awesome too. The cheesecake options were plentiful and so were the pieces. The place fills up fast but well worth the wait. Service was friendly, helpful and quick. I'll be back often. 4 1/2 stars if possible. Maybe even 4 3/4 stars. read more

Okay. I'll say it. This place is flat out amazing. I've been in hot pursuit of an excellent German restaurant since moving to Texas 13 years ago and finally found it. So good it'll have you at "dinner salad" but so amazing from start to finish you'll be pining to come back. read more

Nice little restaurant on the square in Lampasas. The restaurant - clean and just a bit dated. It felt kind of dark and a bit old. The service - very good The food - Not comparable to what you'll find at your German grandma's house, or even in Fredericksburg, but decent enough. The schnitzel was ok but a bit dry on the edges. The spaetzle was wonderful. Potato salad was ok, and the green salad as well. The gravy for the rahm schnitzel was much nicer than the one for the weiner schnitzel. Personal preference, I suppose, but I felt like the both had a bit of a strange after taste. The cheesecake is to die for. Take some to go, and I promise you won't be sorry. It was truly the highlight of the entire meal. I'm looking forward to trying the bratwurst next time. I'll probably avoid the schnitzel since I'm quite spoiled on the real, authentic thing. Ahh, the benefits of having a 100% german in laws, and some very good German friends. read more

Living in Texas...Lampasas Texas. Want authentic home made German cuisine? Eve's Cafe on the Square downtown is your answer. The place is quaint and the food is absolutely delicious. The food selection is vast and the Cheese Cake is beyond delicious. You can't go wrong with Eve's. Stop on by read more

The town square was a bit dreary when we visited and many of the nearby stores are closed and this is several blocks off the main highway so we wouldn't have found it without Yelp. Not a fancy place and has a fairly small seating area. A wonderful selection of schinitzels and deserts. The tossed salad is served with a house salad - a creamy dill. Large portions - including that of the Red Cabbage. Deserts are all made here as well. Very reasonably priced for authentic German fare! We found the service to be good and owners friendly ... read more

A wonderful little restaurant with great food and service and a nice cozy atmosphere!

This is a still a required stop when I am in Lampasas. The food is always great, love the schnitzel. The desert selection is always awesome and deserves it's own review. If you are in the Lampasas are and looking for a great place to dine, look no further. Caveats: Dining area is small, so don't bring too large a group. Although the decor is nice, some of the chairs can be painful for some people to sit in for the duration of the meal. read more

This place is a good local restaurant with German decor and food. Clean, large portion and food served hot . Nice staff and quick.

Eaves Café is a quaint little restaurant on the square in Lampasas Texas. It is a classic German restaurant like the kind you would find in Fredericksburg and other German settlements throughout Texas. I stopped here on my way between Austin and San Angelo Texas. It was a Friday night on December 1, 2017 and Lampasas was busy. I ate the Kase Schnitzel. It was topped with ham & melted provolone & gravy. I had the red cooked cabbage. While I am sure many people like the red cooked cabbage, it was just a little too much for my pallet. The service was good, with young people primarily doing the serving. I had a piece of chocolate cheesecake that I took with me for dessert. It was excellent as was the entre. I drive through Lampassas on the way to the oilfield in West Texas and will stop here again. I just might not eat the red cabbage! read more

Best schnitzel in Texas. So glad we used yelp to find this hidden gem in the heart of Lampasas!

Absolutely fantastic!! The food and service = A++ The house dressing, the aged pork loin, schnitzel salad....Best German food ever. Steve the owner was so friendly and informative. read more

I was in Lampasas on some business out of Cedar Park and hungry around lunchtime. Ran across Eve's Cafe A little bit before the normal lunch crowd. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the decor was comfortable and just what you would expect in a small café on the downtown square of any central Texas town. I ordered a schnitzel and the waitress was kind enough to give me suggestions on a couple of custom enhancement and I decided to add a fresh bratwurst to my lunch plate. The food was truly delicious, and I knew when I ordered that I wouldn't be able to finish it all and I was right. I will definitely be back next time I am in Lampasas. read more

We drove down to this place from Killeen area, heard some very complimentary comments about this restaurant. Well, it was differently worth the drive. There was 4 of us in the party, not a one of us had any complaints. Each one of us got a different kind of Schnitzel. Sides we had between us were French fries, Red Cabbage, Cucumber salad, Spatzle, and a side salad with homemade German House Dressing. All of us were so full, BUT we all got a dessert to take home. Wait staff was good and when a table was empty they jumped to it and got it cleaned up immediately so the next person on the list could be seated. All an all great place to eat. We will be back! read more

Love their food! Amazing cheesecake! 10/10 recommend! Service can be great or good depending on how busy the place is but it's always great food! read more

We have had German cuisine in Fredericksburg, Fort Worth, and the surrounding areas and this is some of the best we have enjoyed. We will drive the over 100 miles to enjoy this food again. Cute setting, sweet wait staff, all was just perfect! read more

Ugh I can't believe I'm just now finding out about Eve's!! So good! Warm and home cooked!! Nothing like it in the area. I was full and still had enough for leftovers. You can taste the freshness and love when you eat it!! I had the pleasure of meeting Eves husband while waiting for my food. He was out greeting customers and socializing. That made my visit 10 times more amazing! I love that they take the time to talk to customers and know the community! You can tell that they enjoy what they do! I sat at the outside patio while I waited. The vibe of the whole place was amazing! you could just tell that everybody was comfortable and content. If I could give them 10 stars I would! read more
