My party of 4 ordered the Rouladen, Sausage Plate, Sauerbraten, and Bavarian Burger. Honestly, the best-testing of the four was the burger, because those three plates of the German Specialties all had the same sides. Sauerbraten was tender and the two sausages of the Sausage Plate were perfectly seasoned. Environment was relaxed with a classic diner-feel; just keep in mind that bakery goods are almost all gone by noon on a Monday! :) read more

PLEASE GO!! Don't let the ridiculously long line deter you. Literally the best breakfast around with these massive pancakes (crepes) and the cutest little pastries. There are a lot of tables in the dining room, but it somehow doesn't feel cramped or overwhelming while you're there. They get people through pretty quick considering how long the lines are at all times. The bathrooms are clean and the staff is so sweet. We've never had a bad experience. I prefer the waffles while my husband prefers the "pancakes". They're massive, super thin and rolled up similar to a crepe. My husband said they are "the best in the world" so take that for what's its worth. read more

We stopped by last Saturday for dine-in breakfast, and were seated after waiting almost an hour - it was busy. Our order took over 20 minutes to get to our table, and no, it was not worth the wait. The biscuit was okay, but the sausage (not really a sausage, more like a patty) was overcooked, as were the scrambled eggs. I have never had eggs as dry as those in my life. The coffee was mediocre, at best. So why three stars? Because we stopped by the following day, this time at their bakery counter, and the pastries we got were to die for. The jalapeño and cheese kolache we really wanted to try was sold out, obviously, so we got the pecan cookie and the poppy seed pastry. Both were spectacular. Had I not had such an abysmal breakfast on Saturday, I would have given this place five stars. read more

I thought this was good, not great. Solid German food but I've had better. Sauerkraut was especially tasty and baked goods were delicious. Sausages and schnitzel were fine. Cute, old fashioned cafe in a particularly charming small town. read more

The German Chicken Salad was swimming in mayo. I have never seen so much mayo in any other chicken salad in my life. From my seat I watch the flies land in the uncovered bread on the shelves. Was told they only bake bread once a week so better check the date before you bring home bread that will mold quickly. read more

This place is so cool. Loved the food and they have large portions. The waitstaff are so sweet and attentive. There is a wait especially in the mornings on the weekends, so plan ahead. They have a bakery you can order from while you wait. Again, food was delicious. read more

On a rainy Sunday, we stopped in for lunch. There was about a 15 minute wait for a table, but once we were seated, our food was out quickly. I liked my bratwurst plate, but the brats were just a little dry. My husband really enjoyed his Jägerschnitzel, especially with the red cabbage. I ate about half my plate and saved the rest for later and it was NOT good reheated, so I recommend sharing a plate if you have a small appetite. We also got some items from the bakery to take home. Our families absolutely loved the danishes. I didn't really enjoy the meringue, I thought they were a little stale, but everything else was tasty! read more

Upon arriving in Fredericksburg, we were hungry and very ready to eat a heart breakfast. The Old German Bakery was exactly what I needed. The interior is small and welcoming and our server was warm and extremely helpful. I appreciated her recommendations and tips for ordering. I had the Opa's breakfast and it was great. The sausage, eggs and hash browns really hit the spot and my substation of a waffle instead of the biscuit satisfied my sweet tooth. I really liked that our server recommended me getting the jam on the side as I ended up not wanting to use it and solely used the syrup. Highly recommend to give this place a try ! read more

The food was really good and the portions were huge and worth the money! We had Rebeca as our waitress and she was amazing, she even gave me a dessert for my birthday and was very attentive. When we arrived, the entire place was packed and there was a long line to get in but we only had to wait 30 minutes to be seated and it went by fairly quickly. Would definitely recommend this place to try and would return the next time I am in Fredericksburg! read more

Old German Bakery & Restaurant - Breakfast Croissant with Hashbrowns - Bakeries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Stopped by Old German Bakery and Restaurant in Fredericksburg for a late breakfast, and overall, it was a lovely experience. We tried a variety of dishes: pancakes, scrambled eggs, a veggie omelet, and two types of crepes: the apricot (which is one of their popular picks) and the Nutella. Out of everything, the Nutella crepe stood out the most and hard to go wrong with. The apricot crepe, while highly recommended by others, didn't quite hit the mark for me. It just lacked that balance of flavor I was hoping for. The rest of the breakfast staples eggs, omelet, and pancakes were solid and satisfying, nothing mind-blowing but definitely enjoyable. What really makes this place shine is the ambience and location, right on Main Street, with views of the charming boutiques and shops around. The service was warm and attentive too. read more

Loved it! It's been a few years since we've eaten here. We arrived about 9:15 am on a Friday and there was a line outside. Fortunately, they take names and there are 2 benches to sit on. Our wait was about 15 minutes. Once we were called in, we were seated right away and our drink order was taken and delivered. We were seated in front of the entry door and the fan system above the door was blowing cold air on us. Our server, Lisa was amazing and offered to move us to a table in back, near the restrooms. Except for the restroom traffic, this location was perfect for us. Thank you Lisa! My wife and I each ordered a breakfast plus a German pancake to be brought out later. We had: - Country Benedict - Opa's Sausage Breakfast Both were excellent. I asked for my eggs to be soft scrambled eggs and that's what I got :) We ate about half our meals and packed the rest up for breakfast tomorrow. We were too full for the German pancake, so we asked Lisa to not place the kitchen order. When we paid at the counter, we ordered a sweet bakery treat to go. Thank you Old Herman Bakery and Restaurant and Lisa for a great meal with great service. read more

My first stop in Fredericksburg was obviously at the old German Bakery. It's a well preserved decades old architecture in the Main Street can't definitely be missed. We came during a long weekend and the wait time was 35 minutes. With all the hype, the wait time was totally acceptable. Once we got the table, we could see the ambiance has been well preserved as well and haven't modernized and loved that part. My order: Nutella banana crepe German pancake Cheese omelette Veggie omelette with biscuit Apricot crepe My favorite was the apricot crepe and it's something that I haven't tried before. Nutella banana crepe is something that could never go wrong. The omelette were well cooked. The veggies sautéed well. Love the amalgamation of the eggs and cheese and veggies. To top it off , the biscuits weren't dry nor hard. German pancake with maple syrup was something new that I hadn't tried before and it was different and way from the regular American pancakes. It had powdered sugar on top of it. Bakery was almost sold out so couldn't try their cookies and pastries. read more

Very good for pastries but get there early if you want have a full selection. They sell out fast. I got there 10 minutes after opening and was 3rd in line with 5 people behind me. The apple Strudel was excellent. Don't miss out! read more

This is the second visit to this place and probably one of the reasons why I will continue coming to Fredericksburg. It's always full of patrons and doesn't seem to slow down. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and friendly so please be kind to them. It's a very laid back and chill vibe type of place. The decor has some pictures of old Germany and inside has country feel to it. In my opinion, they have the best sauerkraut I've tasted out of 15 plus brands that I've already tried. It's slightly sweet but still has that vinegar bite to it. The mustard by itself was delicious and compliments the sausage very nicely. The hash browns were crispy and had a great flavor. The eggs and biscuit were like any other typical restaurant's. On the Belgian plate the German sausage patty was good tasting but could've used a bit of seasoning or salt. The waffle was very delicious. It was light, fluffy, soft, and tasted great. If you enjoy sauerkraut, you must definitely try this establishment and if you don't you still need to give it a try! read more

This place is phenomenal, covers everybodies taste buds. We go every single time we go to Fredericksburg. They never have disappointed. There usually is a small wait because they are always packed. Pastries to die for. We've been trying to try their sourdough bread but always sold out early. I would recommend 100% read more

Very busy and popular restaurant with a large line. They serve some standard breakfast items like eggs, bacon, biscuits and more. They have a few German inspired dishes like pancakes and sausages. I tried the Oma's plate with eggs sausage and a pancake. It was very good. They have some breads and pastries for sale too that you can order at a separate counter. It's not an authentic German restaurant. If you're expecting that, it's really an American restaurant. I'm glad we went it was a good choice.l and a cozy spot. read more

I remember visiting this place as a kid with my parents. It definitely has that quaint factor. Staff and ambience were great. The wait was fairly long and food took awhile to come out. However, we did go on Sunday morning and that likely couldn't be helped. The food was pretty good but not fabulous. read more

I could wrap myself up in a pancake! I have never heard of putting lemon and powdered sugar on a pancake! Best thing ever! Biscuits and gravy could have fed two of us and were beyond delicious! Pastries were just ridiculous! Every bit as good as they look! We brought 4 home! read more

The bakery is located in a charming old building with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Be sure to arrive early, as there's often a line to get in. They offer a variety of baked goods at the counter, which are worth trying. Unfortunately, the breakfast items we've tried have been disappointing--especially the eggs Benedict. The traditional version had a bland hollandaise that is very thin and not at all tart, while their alternate country version with gravy and sausage was particularly unappetizing. The sausage had an odd appearance and flavor, the gravy appeared to be from a can, all reminiscent of canned pet food, making it inedible. I often have eggs Benedict, but this is the worst, so bad we returned the plate. That said, their take on a German pancake is decent though nothing at all special, in fact amateur using a banana with Nutella. Just fyi, their German pancake and crepe are the same batter, go figure! Overall, there are much better breakfast options available in the area. Not sure how they stay in business other than one stop tourist. They get one star for the ambiance and location. read more

Brunch food was good, I did like the german pancake so much. They have good selection of pasties as well, I did like the peach cream danish and cinnamon rolls. If you'd like to try the sausage roll, definitely ask to heat it up, it was hard and cold when we got one. read more

Had a 30-minute wait, but worth it. The service was excellent. Our server was fun, attentive, and gave great recommendations. We had the pretzel, turkey sandwich, and Reuben all were delicious and came in huge portions. (Had to take 1/2 home) The interior is super cute, adding to the cozy, authentic vibe. Plus, there's a bakery up front with plenty of treats to take home. I loved the sweat tea read more

I went for the wienerschnitzel and ended up taking the chicken fried steak. At the end of the day aren't they both about the same? Their chicken fried steak was quite tender and tasty. The wife had a turkey sandwich with potato salad. Coming from a German family she was expecting good things in the potato salad and felt it was a little bit disappointing and bland. We sampled a couple of selections from their bakery on the way out and while they were okay, they didn't knock our socks off either. For example, the chocolate chip cookie was just a plain cookie with some small chocolate chips on top. It's a cute place with good service but it doesn't live up to the name of being German as we were hoping. Having lived in Munich for a year, maybe our expectations a little bit different than others. On the other hand, maybe just a different part of Germany than we are familiar with. read more

This place was okay. It was very crowded, and the service seemed to be very stressed and short staffed. They were very particular about how quickly people were seated if they were on the list, but didn't communicate where people were on the list at all. It made it confusing to know when to have our large group all together. The food was good, but I've had better German pancakes and the eggs and bacon were just okay. Overall, it was good for what it was, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back here. read more

Old German Bakery & Restaurant - Classic Benedict - Bakeries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

We were in Fredericksburg on a Tuesday and this bakery closes on Wednesdays. I asked my family member to stop to grab the following items: 5/5: jalapeño and cheese Kolache (pig in the blanket)---- omg this kolache is LiFE CHANGING! I can not emphasize enough. I have tried so many kolaches in my life. If I go to a place and they have kolaches... you better believe I will order it! So if there is any such title of a Kolache Connoisseur hahaha that's me! What makes this kolache is the sausage! The sausage is thicker and it's ooowey gooowey cheese jalapeño inside is what keeps you addicted and biting for more! The bread is more bready but helps balance the sausage! Two was bought and I seriously have so much regrets not getting more! I will be dreaming about these kolaches and it's delicious out of this world sausage! When you eat it... you will know what I mean! You have to experience to understand! It has a kick of jalapeño but it's not spicy. Perfect balance of heat! 1/5 cinnamon roll: I felt like our cinnamon roll was old or something. It was bready and the bread was dry. The ratio of cinnamon and sugar vs the bread was not even. If you prefer a less sweet and more bready cinnamon roll... then this one is for you 4/5: cream cheese pastry and strawberry filled pastry: was good! Not the best one I've ever had but they are tasty! Service is great. It was a take out order. Do I recommend this place? Yes yes yes! Come try their kolache! So good and I can't wait to come back to get a dozen of the Kolaches Must visit bakery when you are in Fredericksburg! read more

There was nothing German about your food menu or baked goods. So Opted for a dish that one can hardly screw up biscuits and gravy which had bits of bratwurst in it, it was disgusting and so was my eggs Benedict. One egg overdone one way under and the Benedict sauce? What the heck was that. Only one happy was the dog. And the service left much to be desired. What a sour face on that lady . Bad bad bad all around read more

A group of 6, 3 couples, met up at this Fredericksburg establishment to have a reunion of sorts. Childhood friends who had not seen each other for decades, shared a meal of Jagerschnitzel and memories! Back a few years ago, this German bakery was a place to eat breakfast because of their German strudel and other goodies. I must confess that its been many years ago when I visited this eatery. It was surprising to see the lack of pastries for sale there. However, it was after lunch and it was close to closing time. As for the food, it was average at best. The conversation was the main entree really! We were a big party so we sat on the bakery side, away from the main dining area. It was perfect! The service was efficient and the main dining area was full of people when we came in but it was almost 3 pm when we left and there were a few diners like us. We literally closed the place down. Overall, this place was great for our reunion and reminiscing about the past. The food was ok. The pastries, the jury is out. I have to go back in the early morning to find out but I won't do that anymore! read more

Husband enjoyed his Reuben sandwich. Sausages and sauerkraut on the sausage plate were good. The weinerschitzel and potatoes that came with it were incredibly bland, I do not recommend that one. read more

Anytime my hubby and I explore a new place/ town, the first thing we look for is where to eat! Since Fritztown is a German town, we decided we should try at least one local/ German restaurant. This place was super busy, crowded and definitely worth the wait. Staff is hustlin and bustlin and you write your own name on a list at the hostess booth when you walk in. You patiently wait outside because there's very little room inside. There is however, a couple of benches right outside to sit and wait. My husband and I usually share our entire order/meal and we did that here. We ordered (the best) fried green tomatoes, perfectly breaded and so flavorful. They come with a side of homemade ranch as well. I ordered a croissant egg and cheese sandwich with home style fries. My hubby ordered a cheese omelette with spinach, mushroom and onion. Both were absolutely delicious! My favorite/highlight without a doubt was the fried green tomatoes! Oh and last but not least, we also shared a German pancake which is essentially a "crepe" flat (pancake) but packed with flavor! I told my hubby it tasted like a churro to me! Comes with a side of powder sugar and I drizzled some maple syrup! Yum! So delicious! It is a restaurant and bakery so they have a great selection of baked goods as well. Sweet and regular pretzels, danishes and more! Thankful for the great service despite how hectic and busy it was. It's understandable why the wait can be long but it's worth it when the food and service is great and prompt! Definitely recommend! read more

Ate there on a Sunday. Place is simply looking but clean. Huge flags hang in the dining room. The German flag, as one would expect, but also the Mexican one which makes little sense given the theme. I ordered the Schnitzel. It was prepared quickly and looked great. Nice a flattened, breading was beautiful, the side potatoes were golden crips. It was tender meat but lacked a little bit of flavor. All in all, a nice meal for a very reasonable price. read more

Sunday late morning/early afternoon Let me just start with this: the service was good. Everyone working there is kind and helpful. After driving past this spot for a year and always seeing folks waiting outside we finally stopped in. We waited the standard 30+ minutes for a table which is expected. The floors were covered in leaves. Looked like no one swept them since yesterday possibly and no one is planning on doing so while they are open. The decor was honestly depressing. It could be more inviting. While watching everyone busily run around we noticed that they could optimize the layout a bit. Where they keep the menus almost in the back should be closer to the front or at least the host stand. Alright- the food... I was deciding between the breakfast croissant and something else. Our waitress said the croissant is better so I went with that. It was ok, the croissant was very large and they make it in house, regular scrambled eggs, cheese that I'm pretty sure was craft singles, and bacon. It also came with breakfast potatoes. It left a lot to be desired. My mom got the biscuits and gravy and it was swimming and gravy. You could not even discontinuous a biscuit. My husband had the schnitzel with an egg on top which was more expensive than the one from Altdorf down the street and lower quality. The coffee was good. We also had the German pancakes and that was likely our favorite part of the meal. I don't think I'll eat here again... there are better options (though not many) around town. read more

We stopped by early Friday morning for breakfast. Our waitress was super nice. However, I had one of the omelets and it did not really have any flavor. I added salt, pepper, and hot sauce and that helped. The hashbrowns were crispy which was good. We also tried the sausage and gravy. It was okay. The danish that we ordered when we were paying was really the star of the show. We'd come back for that. read more

Stopped by Old German Bakery on a Sunday for a late breakfast and it was definitely a popular spot. The place was packed, and we were quoted a 45-minute wait for our party of eight. They ended up splitting us into two separate tables, which was totally fine by us, though the hostess came off a bit snappy and impatient--not the warmest welcome. That said, once we were seated, everything went pretty smoothly and our waitress was very kind. We made it just in time to order before breakfast service ended at 11am. I split the Oma's Pancake Breakfast and a side of hash browns with a friend, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. The German pancakes were delicious, eggs and bacon were cooked just right, and the hash browns had a great crisp. The restaurant was busy and a little chaotic, but it had that cozy, old-school diner feel that made it feel homey. Despite the rough start, it ended up being a satisfying and hearty breakfast. Would definitely come back, maybe just with a little more patience for the crowd. read more
