This is a destination kind of pace. Came here for a music event. They have plenty of people selling libations and coffee. It's small enough that there isn't a bad place to watch the show. read more

if visiting Fredricksburg you must drive to Luckenbach at least once. We lucked out and saw Johnny Lee. Cover was $25 each. Beer is a better choice over wine. Open air but not too bad in September. It is Just one of those cool, historic places that should be on your list. read more

Came because of the song and the place was exactly what I had expected. Loved it. We sat for some time in the shade and listened to a group of songwriters tell stories and sing songs on a little stage. Everyone we interacted with in the store was very nice. We bought some Tshirts that were nice quality and not overpriced. We visited on a quiet mid week afternoon, and I would love to come back for a dance or concert. read more

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas With Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys... If you are heading out to this way plan a side trip to Luckenbach. Yea it's kind of a tourist trap but in a good way. Grab a beer, listen to some music, buy a t-shirt, have a bite to eat, and just chill. Check out their entertainment schedule as they usually book good to great bands. People are friendly and if you give them money they will give you beer. What a great setup. There are plenty of photo Opps and if you are lucky you might even see a rooster doing the 2 step on the dance floor! read more

This was a slightly odd but charming place to visit. We stopped by and had a beer while listening to someone place music. As noted by others everyone here was friendly. I wouldn't take a trip all the way out here just to see Luckenbach but as a stop on the way to Enchanted Rock I thought it was cool. read more

Such a great venue and well worth the ticket price for the bluegrass festival!! Loved all the bands and fans!! read more

This is truly an iconic Texas venue. They have a dance hall, outdoor stage and a more intimate outdoor stage for picker's circles. There is a souvenir/hat shop, the bar and a place to order food. Beers are reasonably priced considering you have live music, and they are cold. You may want to eat before you get here as the food is just so-so. But, the music is great, the beer is cold and it's a fun time to relax and listen to some good Texas country! read more

First time here... after listening to the song by Waylon Jennings for years, I decided the first cool day in October I would drive up... just... I enjoyed the Jesse Stratton Band who performed. Wow! Those guys can play! Loved the atmosphere and it was just wonderful all around. Live Music in Luchenbach!! YES PLEASE! read more

TLDR: If you need a real taste of Texas Hill Country, you can't do better than a visit to Luckenbach. Yes, this is the place mentioned in the song by Waylon Jennings...and while it's technically a 'town', it's really a small group of buildings with a HUGE grassy parking lot outside, testament to how popular this place can be. Outside of the lively music/dance schedule, this place just oozes cool and laid-back atmosphere. There's almost always someone outside playing live music, a food truck offering local Texas fare, a funky souvenir shop/post office/bar that cries out for exploration, and let's not forget the roosters and kitty cats roaming free around the place. Yes, you can call it a tourist spot...but it's got that genuine charm that keeps me coming back. Stop by for a spell and either kick back with a cold beer, or come in for an evening of great music and dancing. Either way, you'll feel deep in the heart of Texas here. read more

We're 4 old farts traveling cross country in a van. We decided to get off I-10 and see what this little town was about. We enjoyed the scenery on the ride to get there and back. There are several buildings and a food truck. The post office/general store is the main attraction. I will say the employees in all the buildings were very friendly. We smoked one for Willey, mailed a few postcards, tried out the kissing booth and enjoyed the tranquility. read more

Population: 3! On our tour bus ride back to downtown San Antonio from the LBJ Ranch, we reached a majority vote among the passengers to stop by Luckenbach, a spot that the bus driver indicated was either fully hated or fully loved by those who visited. I'm somewhere down the middle. We spent about 20 minutes there. There's not much to it, though. There's a building with restrooms; an old-timey kissing booth where my friend and I posed for a photo; gorgeous, thick-trunked trees with sprawling branches (I wish I knew what kind of trees they were); a stage where a wig-wearing, costume-wearing troupe was performing covers of famous tunes of yesteryear; a now-defunct post office; a gift shop; and a general store that sells beer. The general store has free-range cats! There are picnic benches for visitors to sit and eat and drink as well. No cell phone reception! I had to check in for my flight but couldn't. read more

I've been here 2-3 times but probably never coming back. I ordered some beers for me my wife and daughter. My 27 year old daughter didn't have her her id. She gave the beer back but they called the cops on us. The county sheriff descended with 3 officers crazy that were on us like we were the cartel and had just machine gunned a bunch of folks. Of course nothing happened as we were 100% legal. Never coming back to this screwed up place though. read more

I was visiting Fredricksburg for work when a co-worker wanted to change it up a bit and head to Luckenbach Texas. "A place I normally wouldn't be caught dead in" is what the old, closed minded, Mikhael would've said but it turned out to be a down home country bar/store that made a fast paced city girl like me really appreciate the different music and cultures around the great State of Texas! The bartender was a sweetheart and complimented me on everything I believe I was wearing that night as he served up the cold ones. There were 2 live performers singin' of troubled relationships and heavy drinkin' that made the whole experience feel like a Johnny Cash song....and I absolutely loved it! Not, very crowded that cold October night, no more than about 20 people but it sure didn't take away from having a good time. There was a food stand in the back that I decided to check out. The name of this establishment doesn't come to me, but there was only one employee working. He didn't have a very good attitude but the food made up for it I guess. There was no salad, vegetable, semi-healthy choice on the menu, so I did the best I could. I ordered the fish tacos. The whole meal was fresh and filling...2 important things I have to have when it comes to my food! My dinner consisted of 2 beer battered catfish tacos topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado dressing, stuffed inside 2 corn tortillas and finished with sriracha sauce. Superb! Other than my co-worker in front of us hitting a deer on the way back to our hotel, the trip wasn't half bad and I'm glad to cross this off of my bucket list. Thank you Luckenbach for showing this gal an interesting, but fun time! read more

I purchased a Luckenbach brand candle (tobacco/bay leaf) from the Luckenbach gift shop on E. Main Street. Unfortunately, the candle wick was not long enough to actually burn the candle (poor quality). I was unable to use the candle. A waste of $22.00. Otherwise, it was a lovely store. read more

What a wonderful place. Live music, cold beer and shady benches. Nice place to relax on a Sunday. read more

I absolutely loved this little piece of Texas music history. A cute little country area sort of between small towns. It's more like a large farm or land used for a fair or something of the sorts. There's an old post office that doubles as a gift shop and small saloon with live music. We were here during the Houston hurricane which caused the area to get a lot of heavy rain. Because of this there were no food options and performances were cancelled as well as some of the few shops being closed. However, the saloon was busy with folks like us having a beer and listening to live acoustic music provided by locals. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience at that watering hole. Despite the bad weather and smaller crowds I was very happy with our visit and enjoyed that it wasn't overrun with other tourists. Can't wait to get back. read more

Super fun place. Not crazy party fun laid back fun place. Been several times usually just to hang outside and drink beer. Last weekend saw Reckless Kelley there with the wife. It was chilly outside and there was a fun fire pit going outside and heaters over tables. The music venue building is separate from the old post office building, there is a stage and outdoor seating behind post office bar. The opener had a bunch of two-steppers and everyone was sitting at tables and benches but by the time Reckless came out the dance floor had filled up with fans and the place was pretty crowded. One thing that almost no other venue had is coat hooks high along the walls - nice feature. I had always thought Luckenbach was just a fun hang and will be back for that also for a concert or two in the future as well! read more

On my second visit, I came at 11:30am on a Sunday, so before any live music was going on. I enjoyed getting their curly fries because they fry them extra crispy with a slight burnt end taste. On this visit, we tried the curly fries with cheese sauce and pulled pork and a friend got the curly fries with cheese sauce and brisket. My pulled pork version was pretty tasty, but my friend's brisket version looked and tasted better. I would recommend the brisket curly fries as a first option, but both pork and brisket version are priced at $11. Tip: When they serve the curly fries, they tend to not be seasoned. I would add a good amount at the concession window. Read my previous review for more tips. read more

A must visit if you're visiting Fredericksburg. This place is definite a must stop, specially if you are a fan of old western, country atmosphere. You get some amazing photos here and if you're lucky, you get to listen to a live band perform if you are there at the right time. read more

The beer is ice cold. The vibe is genuine and full of southern Texan charm. Well worth the stop.

This was a nice place to stop in to, especially if you like country music. There is a lot of history here. Good music and good food as well. It feels off the beaten path and tucked away.

"Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas With Willie and Waylon and the boys This successful life we're livin' Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs And Jerry Jeff's train songs And blue eyes cryin' in the rain Out in Luckenbach, Texas There ain't nobody feelin' no pain" - Waylon Jennings Build it and they will come...since 1850. And you NEVER know who. On any given day Willie might pop in the small bar at the back of the general store and pick and sing with the locals. And then there's the Dance Hall with scheduled acts. Lots of outdoor space including picnic tables, fire pits, and the Luckenbach Feed Lot - a small walk-up eatery that serves up pulled pork sandies, corn dogs, funnel cakes, and the likes. The General Store offers a good variety of western items and loads of souvenirs. What D.O.G. doesn't need a L,T bandana? Of course it's a small town - what did people expect?! Not everything is bigger in Texas and Luckenbach is just fine the way it is. It is such a treasure BECAUSE it hasn't changed in so many years. Tons of history and great memorabilia to explore. Not much to add about this legendary Texas locale, except to say that if you're in the area be sure to stop by and check it out. It's a very short trip from historical, German-esque, wine and winery filled Fredericksburg and only a little over an hour drive away from Austin (depending on where you live) so you can make a day of it, or perhaps an addition to a weekend getaway in F*Burg. Either way, squeeze your way into the bar, order a can of cold beer (cash only; ATM on-site), and reeelaaax. Just take it all in and listen to the country crooners do their thing inside the small bar area or on the backyard stage. This is real. This is Texas. Luchenbach is not just a destination...it's an experience. A truly memorable one. [137 in 2015] read more

We went to Luckenbach to see what all the fuzz was about and were a little disappointed on how small this place was. There was nothing to do except shop at the post office. It is probably much better to get there on a weekend when bands are planning.While walking around the area we discovered an old German cemetery with a few graves. Being from Germany made it more interesting, since the scripture was in German. Also,the ornate on the iron gate was beautiful. There is much to be discovered at a cemetery. As for the grounds , I liked the stage where you can stand behind the guitar and pretend to be a Rock Star. read more

What a fun place to visit! If you're close, you have no option but to drive down the narrow country road and check out Willy's Luckenbach. The place is set up just as you'd expect it with lots of seating, a place for the band and even a kissing booth. The post office is really a country store with lots of souvenirs to take home with you.
