Reviews With Photos - Nury's On Main

Large shrimp are lightly breaded with a spritz of sauce. Served with sliced strawberries, lettuce and chopped carrots - satisfying texture.
Tony B.

Modern cuisine with old town charm. Set in a creaky wood floor mercantile store from yesterday year is a comfortable dining space with antique lighting. We ordered the dynamite shrimp (not spicy, but lightly breaded) and fish tacos - finger licking good. Wife had a pork-hominy pazoli soup with Asada nachos. Get it. Both are full of flavor. I Recommend. We ate our share and took a box of leftovers. Kyle was attentive and made sure our glasses were always full on 99 degree TX-August evening.

Hopefully a one off but we were so excited to introduce Plus 1s Plus 1 to Nury's and their Pozole. Sad to say we 3 were provided with steaming bowls of fatty grizzle meat. Their nachos were AOK but we were so looking forward to our Saturday get you straight Pozole and it was a fail. Will we return, yes and hopefully have a better experience.

Seafood tower that was unimpressive.  House made chips were cold, stale and hard.

Nury's on Main, where I wanted to have a memorable dining experience--just not this kind of memory. Let me start with the good stuff (it's a short list, don't blink): the wine was excellent. Truly, chef's kiss. And the service? Friendly and attentive. But alas, that's where the magic ended and the mess began. I made the choice to try the seafood tower, and boy, do I regret it. The shrimp? Imagine chewing on a well-worn eraser, but with less flavor. The crab? Well, I didn't know it was possible for something to taste like so flavorless, but here we are. Now, I will give credit where it's due--the cucumbers and pico de gallo were good. And those house-made chips? Cold, stale, and harder than a bad breakup. Honestly, they'd be better served as coasters. For me, this place is a "I'll go for a glass of wine," but you can get a glass of wine anywhere in Fberg. For $40, I left frustrated and hungry.

Took a trip to Austin to visit my daughter. We went to visit a winery in a little town Fredericksburg, not too far away. There were a lot of cute little shops and places to eat. Lots of families and people walking around with their pets. Very pet friendly community. We stopped in here to grab a bite to eat. We had some very good chips and salsa. I had some shrimp tacos and as you can see they were loaded with toppings. Very tasty. The service was good and we got our food pretty fast. You will probably end up parking away from the main street and then strolling through the shops and restaurants.

Superb asada empanadas (bottom) and surprisingly great tasting shrimp ceviche fresh (top)8
Scott B.

We had an exceptionally good lunch mid week. Service was great, restaurant has a nice relaxed feel to it. Excellent service. The Asada empanadas were served fresh out of the fryer and the corn-flavored batter paired really well with the beef, cheese, and sauce. My wife thought her shrimp ceviche was a Top-3 ceviche, and maybe the best she's ever had surprisingly. Their breakfast items sounded really good. We may try to pay them a visit next time in town.

Highly recommended! We were just grabbing a bite on the way through town and everywhere looked packed but Nury's had a couple empty tables (there are also back rooms so it's actually a lot bigger than it looks)! I can't really tell you much about Nury's except that the owner and staff are all super nice and friendly and the fish tacos are some of the best I've ever had! They're always kinda messy and hard to eat but these were super fresh and light with great sauces! If you're passing through Fredericksburg don't miss this place!

Table by entrance.  Water and extensive selection of drinks.
Eric F.

Service and atmosphere were excellent. Food taste and presentation were excellent. The salad with shrimp was a little challenging, as it is a very full plate, cutting the shrimp and larger pieces was difficult with no room to spare on the plate. The spicy burger was very good, and would probably rival some of the best burgers available on Main Street in Fredricksburg. This restaurant has different menus at different times of day. Seafood, Hill Country comfort food, and Mexican cuisine.

Dropped here after a day in Fredericksburg. The service was efficient and quick. Cute restaurant, with a lot of beautiful decor. Unfortunately the food was a bit underwhelming and kind of over priced. I got fish tacos that were overloaded with toppings which made it pretty difficult to eat. The fish itself didn't have much flavor. The tacos also don't come with any sides. We also tried the chips and salsa and they do have some flavorful salsa.

Strawberry spring salad
Beth P.

Went in for a late lunch, not busy. Greeted when I walked in and sat immediately. The service here has been consistently good whether they are busy or not. Miranda checked on me just enough times and always made sure I had water in my glass. I ordered the Strawberry Spring Salad that comes with grilled chicken. It was delicious. I also got a chicken salad sandwich to go for my coworker. I have had that before and it's pretty good! Everything is a bit expensive for my taste, but at least the portions are very solid sizes so I'm not hungry at all afterwards. I like this spot for lunch, it's casual and they play good country music. What will bring me back every time is the positive service.

Not Ceviche.
Brian K.

"Fish and chips," I said, somewhat confused. The young man who had come to our table after another server had given us glasses of water had oly asked if she taken our drink orders. Both my wife and I were fine with water and he stood there expectantly, as if waiting for us to invite him to sit down. Finally it dawned on me that he was here to take our orders. My wife, who had selected Nury's for our evening's repast, looked up at the waiter. "Ceviche," she said firmly. He nodded and headed back to the kitchen. I glanced around the dining room. "I'm not sure this restaurant knows what it wants to be," I declared. Rows of German beersteins, kettles, and cookware lined one wall, competing with corn molcajete grinding stones and other Mexican decor on the other. There was a distinct sea flavor to the place as well, as if the restaurant was trying to channel Red Lobster, but via Cancun. So someone needs to explain how the hell a British staple like Fish and Chips ended up on the menu. It was late Sunday evening and there were few guests. The waiter brought out our entrees. "Here is your Fish & Chips sir, and your fish tacos, ma'am." I glanced down at three huge filets of batter fried fish, French fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce. The waiter walked away. "I ordered Ceviche," said my wife quietly. I blinked. Her plate was covered with three huge, fully loaded (overloaded to be honest ) fish tacos. I immediately bowed up, intent on demanding correction, but my wife, who hates conflict, pulled me back down. "I'm hungry. These are fine," she told me. She had literally had fish tacos the night before so I looked at her suspiciously. "They are? Are you sure?" She nodded, more to appease me than, than herself. I gave in and with reservation, sampled my fish. Como dice. OMG. Succulent. Creamy. Buttery. Soft. Melt in your mouth goodness. My eyes widened in shock. What the bloody hell! No fish and chips EVER tasted this good. Never! "This fish is INCREDIBLE!" I said in shock to my wife as she struggled to pick up a taco with a tortilla about three times smaller than the accompanying fillings. She gave up as it disintegrated in her hand and she resorted to a fork. "Uh huh," she muttered in response. "Good." Sensing disaster, I looked over at her. "How is yours?" "Messy," she replied sullenly. "It tastes good, but the composition could be better constructed." She picked at taco two with her fork. "Your fish is good?" "Good? Its incredible! I've never had anything like this, ever! This is the best fried fish I've ever had. Its amazing!" She smiled. Canon. And it wasn't just the fish. The fries were crisp and salty. The coleslaw not overly sweet. and the tartar sauce perfect. Blimey! We ate our dinner and when the waiter returned, I asked what kind of fish I'd just eaten. He replied, "Basa swai." I'd never heard of it, but a little research told me that it is a catfish from Asia, known for its fatty richness and low omega-3. Hmmm, no wonder it tasted so good. Its not a common fish sold in the US due to being frequently farmed in poor conditions with high levels of bacteria, mercury and other contaminants. Wow, isn't Google helpful? Still, it tasted amazing, was perfectly cooked, and now, three hours later, I feel fine. My wife and I left and headed back for the hotel, reminiscing about basa swai, fish and chips and... "I wanted Ceviche," my wife complained, regretting her decision not to bring it to the restaurant's notice, clearly following her like a storm follows a fisherman home. Mexican Cantina? British Pub? Seaside grill? Who knows? I don't. But go anyway. Decide for yourself. Just make sure if you want the Ceviche, that you GET the Ceviche. I'm the Gourmet Goob.

Seafood Ceviche
Stacey B.

Grabbed a quick lunch on a Wednesday before heading out to tour the Fredericksburg Pioneer Museum. The chicken enchiladas verde were covered in melted cheese & delicious tomatillo sauce and served with rice and beans. The seafood ceviche bowl came with fried tortilla chips and was a huge portion. Our server was super friendly and efficient. Our sangrias were just the right size for lunch but we missed the fruit in them.

crab nachos
Tye R.

What a little gem Nury's is. We came to Nury's on Main for lunch after visiting the elephant preserve. The interior is quite quaint and cozy with a bit of a hodgepodge of things as far as decor is concerned. Service is quick and the food came out much faster than we anticipated. For the price, the servings are generous. The crab nachos were my favorite thing we ordered. There was a good amount of crab -- looked to be blue crab meat. Will definitely return when back in Fredericksburg.

Anything but shimp in the shrimp ceviche. Lackluster
G G.

Meh. Nearly no shimp in the cerviche, service was slow as molasses. Lacking flavor, service and that something that has you coming back.

First time at Vaudeville. We were walking by and saw that the daily special was Buttermilk Fried…read moreChicken, we are always looking for good fried bone-in fried chicken, so we went downstairs to give it a try. Vibe is euro-bistro and the staff is perfectly attentive. Prices are high, but honestly aligned to the quality of the food, at least the dishes we had were worth the prices. Food: Buttermilk Fried Chicken, with Onion/Bacon flash fried collard greens, whipped potatoes and house gravy and Jalapeno Cornbread for $32 Reuben on Marble Rye for $24 16oz Stella Artois for $10 We agreed that the fried chicken (5/5) was the best we could remember having. Whipped potatoes (5/5) were light, fluffy and perfect taste/texture. The gravy was like brown butter (5/5). The collard greens (5/5) were flash fried and if you've never had them like this, it's like eating collard green potato chips. Cornbread (3/4) was a bit too delicate and sweet for our taste. You couldn't pick it up without it falling apart. The Ruben (3/5). My wife loves a good Ruben sandwich. This one had the makings of a good one, but they use a Thousand Island sauce (too much of it) on the sandwich, and it hides the flavor of the meat. Next time we would ask for the sandwich without the TI sauce, see if that improves the rating. The sandwich came with house made potato chips (5/5), a small house salad with vinaigrette (5/5) and a large, pickled cucumber. I know, that's a pickle, but these are cucumbers that have gone maybe a third of the way through the process, so the cucumber taste is really prevalent. Lastly, we had the Creme Brulé (3/5) for dessert. It was nice, but the custard was coffee and caramel flavored, and we prefer the standard custard look and flavor. The caramel should come from the top layer, not the custard. The top layer was a bit too thick as well. We liked it, just didn't love it. Overall, quality food, service and vibe with prices that are aligned to more special occasions than everyday eating out. We'll be back to try the Monday Crawfish Etoufee and the Tuesday Duck Confit daily specials...look too good to pass up.

While passing through Fredericksburg with my wife, we were ready for a good German meal. Checking…read moreYelp, we discover that on a Tuesday evening, most of the German restaurants in town have already closed at 3pm. That's when Otto's stood out to us. Not only was it the first restaurant to show up on Yelp (very highly rated), but also it was OPEN. While it may have been an accident that we chose Otto's, it was a lucky break. They were awesome. It was very busy, so we had to eat on the patio, but our table had plenty of shade and a nice breeze from a wall fan. It's a block off the main drag, so you don't have to put up with lots of traffic going by. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food didn't take too long to come out. The selections were fairly extensive. The food quality, portion sizes and flavor were spot on. We also highly recommend the Black Forest cake.

It's great the way it is, and trying to make it fancy doesn't make it better. But I've always thought that if a restaurant has only a few options on its menu, they had better all be great, and I didn't find that to be the case at Otto's. One of us had the schnitzel au gratin, which seemed more to be like a chicken Parmesan. I had the duck schnitzel. I would say they were just both OK. The fried potatoes that came with the au gratin schnitzel were left largely untouched on my companion's plate. There wasn't much flavor to my red cabbage, and my spaetzel seemed to be more like a modern day risotto. And this at a restaurant that makes you leave your credit card for a reservation and threatens to charge if you cancel less than 24 hours before. For that, it had better knock my socks off. But my socks are still on, and they won't be walking back to Otto's. Extra star for the great location.

ChatGPT raved about Sunset Grill, so we hopped in the car and zoomed down. Upon arriving, we walked into the cramped restaurant, and we were greeted by a nice hostess. She put our name on a list, and we had a brief 5-10 minute wait before we were seated. We were handed menus and left to peruse the menu. After a brief wait, we were greeted by our waiter and he took our drinks. In good time the waiter was back with drinks and he took our order. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette. It came with potatoes and toast. The wife ordered the plate with eggs over easy, crispy bacon, and potatoes. The wife and I sat and had a nice visit. We should not have drank our drinks so fast, as they stayed empty the entire time we visited. Our waiter not once made eye contact so we could get a refill either. After an average wait time, our food came. Our waiter noticed the drinks and then refilled them. My omelette was undercooked and watery, the cheese was not melted, and the bacon was chewy. Furthermore, the toast was also very dry. I would have gotten butter to put on them, but the waiter never came back to check on us. The wife's eggs were cooked over hard, the bacon was rubbery, and very underwhelming. Our drinks went empty and we never got refills, again. We paid the bill and went shopping. I was glad to get out of there. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but I think they missed the mark here. ChatGPT did me dirty on this one. I don't know if they just were having a bad day, or what the deal was, but this was a one and done for me. I cannot say I recommend this one. I was very disappointed.

We ordered blue cheese with the wings and got ranch. Our celery was probably previously frozen as we could bend it together and touch each end without it breaking!

I know it's petty, but I did not realize that my water would come in a bottle, with no ice. I asked for ice he brought it out. I also asked if there was a charge for the bottle of water. He said yes. It would've been nice to know that before I ordered. We were very surprised at the end when we asked him if we could get two checks for our table, he shared with us he couldn't, it had to be on one rather than cause a scene we decided to deal with it.
