This has been on my list for awhile and finally stopped in. Was a Saturday midday and they were…read morebusy! There is lots of outdoor seating and inside can eve a bit tight. Parking was ample as there is a side parking lot which it was full. Once inside the line wrapped around and there were many options. Ended up with a game and cheese kolache and coffee. They heated up the kolache before serving. As this was done before leaving the ordering area, it made sense why the line took a few to move. Service was friendly and great recommendations. I'd like to go back to try other kolchaes and they have a couple food trucks in the outside area if you wanted something more substantial.

Probably will not get that one again. The place is large and spacious (indoors and outdoors) and could be really great for groups. It has a large patio in the back that's used for Live music. They also have food trucks, one of which, is Paris BBQ. Therefore, you could listen to Live music have dinner or just have a adult beverage. They also feature comedy shows which is pretty cool. Their monthly calendar is posted on the wall. In addition, it is important to note they are on the pricier side. Sam, my server was super friendly and joyful. He steered me the ideal selections. Definitely will return in evening...

Dinner consisted of Cesar salad, cheesy bread and lasagna. Salad was spot on with an interesting tanginess. I enjoyed it. Just don't think about it. Get it... I'm referring to the cheesy bread. I usually don't like marinara sauce on the side. This with the bread was outstanding. Let's talk about the lasagna. The marinara was a tad bland. But the components of the lasagna come together very nicely. To be honest a very good meal. Not the best in the world. But worth having. So get in your car and give this place a chance. I've often said a server makes the meal sing. That is definitely true here. Enjoy: the fat man did!

A warning: If you eat Weinerschnitzel in Vienna, you will be ruined for life on most of the…read moreversions you find elsewhere. But I was stupid, and hungry, and ordered what looked like the specialty of the house at Eve's Café. In fact, it looked like what they called a Wienerschnitzel was the basis for all sorts of schnitzel variations with different toppings and gravy. That should've been an extra warning for me. To be fair, the description on the menu said that what you would get was a pork chop, and that is what I got. It was a little bit tough, which I suspected in advance, watching the people at the next table, sewing on theirs. The breading was weird in a way that's hard to describe. It was somewhat over-seasoned, a little bit hard, and left an aftertaste that was slightly chemical. An even worse sin by Texas standards, it was small, as in the recommended meat portion size for healthy eating, about the size of my hand, minus the fingers. My side of onion rings had the same breading. And even though I am generally a gravy hog, I didn't especially care for the brown gravy that came with my meal. The German dill salad probably had some dill in it somewhere, but it was all drowned in so much mayonnaise-based dressing, I couldn't really taste it, and the whole thing turned into soup before I finished. This all really sounds terrible, but it wasn't actually terrible. I ate all of it except for the soupy salad, but it just never rose beyond competent, when I had gotten my hopes up for some good German food. As I looked around at what others were eating, I really wished I had ordered one of the fabulous-looking sandwiches, burgers, or bratwurst. Those are harder to mess up. The restaurant itself has a nice location on the Square in Lampasas, and a charming vibe. The Thursday lunch crowd was good sized so it looks like a popular local place. The service was very friendly and pretty quick--maybe little TOO quick, as if my schnitzel might've been waiting for me under a heat lamp. Once I'd finished, I was still a little hungry, and considered ordering a slice of their Black Forest Cake. But I have had Black Forest Cake in Bavaria, and I simply couldn't bear another disappointment.

So this place was recommended, so I had to go. The restaurant is a small establishment, with…read morewonderful vibes. The inside was old fashioned, kind of a western twist.

Yesterday, Texas was under amber alerts for thunderstorms and heavy rains. In route from Austin to…read moreSan Antonio, TX I had to stop to get out of the rain (quite unusual for Texas). I stopped at Dos Gatos for coffee and also picked up a few sweet treats for later (wink, wink!) Dos Gatos, which I believe means two cats, is a shop for "on the go" folks...no inside seating and small space. The shop focuses on fast service, and fresh baked goods, with kolaches baked daily. Dos Gatos has a variety of items such as sweet kolaches with traditional fillings like apricot, poppy seed, strawberry, raspberry, and cream cheese. They have savory kolaches such as sausage and cheese, jalapeño sausage, chorizo, ham and cheddar, and vegetarian sausage options. The turkey sausage kolache was the standout...sometimes called a pig in the blanket. One downside of the sweet kolaches is they are rather small. I forget how small they were until my hubby mentioned also. A surprise bonus was their full espresso bar, which includes lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, chai, cold brew, etc. Pricing was at the low end of the spectrum. I purchased coffee, sweet and savory kolaches.

The chef toasted the English muffin properly, giving each bite a satisfying crunch. The twin crab cakes were also stellar - moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The yolk inside the perfectly poached eggs ran ever slightly, blending with the luxuriously lemony Hollandaise sauce. I decided to pair it with a classic lime daiquiri, served straight up in a coupe glass and garnished with a slice of dehydrated lime. If that's not your fancy, friendly bartender Fred can conjure up almost any brunch drink you can think of, including a piquant Bloody Mary that to me tastes of ancho.

Our server was a lovely older gentleman, who tried to accommodate us despite issues with the kitchen. The weather was nice and we enjoyed sitting outside with live music. Not so good things: Sitting outside was nice, except the musicians had their music way too loud for the size of the space and it was a restaurant, not a concert venue. We literally had to yell to hear each or the server. The kitchen was backed up so it took forever for our food to arrive. The food was also pretty expensive. We don't visit Fredericksburg very often, but I think we'll stick with Auslander when we want German food.

Honestly, the…read morebest-testing of the four was the burger, because those three plates of the German Specialties all had the same sides.

Old German Bakery & Restaurant had been highly recommended as a must-visit when in Fredericksburg…read morebut I was incredibly disappointed by the overall experience. NOTES: - Reservations: no... walk in only - Parking: a few spots in front but free street parking nearby as well - Online ordering: available on their website through PopMenu for pickup - Closed Wednesday and Thursday THE HIGHS: - Arrived around 8:00 am on a Sunday morning and got seated right away - Coffee was decent... not the strongest but good enough - Workers were all very nice THE LOWS: - My poached eggs on the Country Benedict were cold... it seemed like they had sat for a while before being served (the sausage and gravy weren't hot either but they at least had a little warmth) - I wanted to get some items from the bakery but after being so disappointed in the breakfast I passed THE PRICE: Reasonably priced for the portion size - 2 Coffees ($3 each) - Country Benedict ($15.25) - Holstein Schnitzel ($18.75) - German Pancake ($6.75) - Opa's Smoked Sausage Link ($5) BEST BITES: - Opa's smoked sausage link (flavorful and juicy) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Old German Bakery & Restaurant after seeing it recommended online by so many people but I left wishing I had eaten breakfast somewhere else. Maybe the bakery is better than the breakfast but I won't be recommending it to anyone I know visiting Fredericksburg.

For those that have issues finding parking on the Main Street, it's good to note that they have a small lot in the back for customers as well. Alstadt Peach Radler - Top of the list of what I personally enjoyed at the Auslander. This beer was a light, crisp, and refreshing beer with a hint of peach flavor. Definitely something to enjoy on a hot day. This was my happy place drink. Beer Battered Mushrooms - The shrooms here were better than most other German establishments I've dined at. Reasonably sized mushrooms with a non overly heavy batter. Portions were bigger than expected and would readily satisfy a group of four. Jägerschnitzel - A fair sized slab of fried pork goodness smothered in a red wine mushroom gravy. The pork loin was a good thickness and not an overly pounded thin cutlet. Breading was good, but didn't stick much to the protein. Gravy was just okay in my opinion and had a hint of sourness to it for some reason. Not a terrible entree but wasn't mind blowing either. Currywurst - The bratwurst with this meal was a solid portion of meat that was full of porky goodness. Curry ketchup had the spice flavoring to it, but wasn't particularly strong. It was a fair entree, nothing mind blowing, but still a good comfort dish. Sides - All the entrees came with a choice of two sides. Fries were just fries... good, but nothing special. Mashed potatoes tasted like the usual suspect, mashed potatoes. Potato salad was properly cooked and prepared with some simple vinegary and cream flavors. Red cabbage tasted like vinegared red cabbage. All in all, the sides were just okay. Everything was for the most part clear cut of what was good and just okay. In that terms, there seemed to be a strange and wildly large chasm between what was okay and good in terms of the food. I was satisfied at the end of the meal, but at the same time not unhappy nor super happy with my meal. I was just... satisfied/okay. Food felt a bit overpriced for what we received, otherwise this establishment felt more like a one-and-done type of place.
