    Sliced jalapeno sausage on hoagie with Düsseldorf mustard 6/2024
    Sabrina S.

    I couldn't pass this place up on our way out of Fredericksburg. The name called me in - "Opa" was what we called our Dutch grandpa growing up. When we walked in most of the glass display cases were empty. But, a very nice gentleman that worked there introduced himself and gave us a little tour of what the shop had to offer. Various cheese and packaged smoked meats ready to eat were in the refrigerated sections. Sampled 3 types of smoked sausage and various seasonings for crackers. Very tasty! Their sandwiches are very popular, so we ordered the jalapeno sliced smoked sausage on a hoagie with German mustard and no cheese. Omg that sandwich was super deelish! The sausage was very thinly sliced and the mustard was fab! So fab we bought some, apparently it's Fredericksburg Farms Düsseldorf mustard. Military discount offered FYI their smoked sausages can be conveniently bought in most HEBs

    Opa's has been around for decades. Stopped in recently with some out of town guests. We had great cooked sausages to go and some excellent cured smoked beef. Excellent selection of other sausages and foods available. Service: nice, friendly folks Overall cleanliness: above average

    Opal's has been here for many generations. My husband came here with his grandfather 30 years ago and we had to come. I wanted to see the memories of my husband childhood. What a lovely place and they have a nice selection of canned fruits and veggies. Got some whole fog preserves, these are difficult to find. The beef jerky looks amazing and we got some and it is super delicious, moist and flavorful and not too salty. The sausage in the rotisserie was amazing! We got it to go with hot dog bun, sauerkraut and German mustard. The sausage was out of this world delicious with a beautiful snap casing and perfect textures, taste, and I love that is what not too salty. I highly recommend it. Cleanliness: above average Employees: above average friendliness

    Opa's roast beef sandwich to go
    Don J.

    Custom-made sandwiches to go from a famous local sausage shop. It's not possible to eat on premises, but you can picnic at the city park about a block to the west - or better yet, at one of the many wineries in the area. Not feeling creative? Order a sandwich from their signature sandwich list. My favorite so far is the roast beef sandwich on marbled rye bread. Want something specific? Build your own using the bread and ingredients list. I usually just get the sandwich, but you can make it a combo for a few bucks more. Word of warning - when you see the word "sliced" it means thin-sliced, including the bratwurst. I was expecting sliced links but that's not the style at Opa's. Never had thin-sliced bratwurst before and don't plan to again, LOL.

    Opa's Sausage is to Fredericksburg what Nathan's Hot Dogs is to New York - an institution of flavor and pride that reflects the culture of its community. Here you can find cheeses, sausages, deli meats, ham, turkey, and also you can come here for good old fashioned sandwiches. I hear they do some mean lunch combos. Today I came away with their jalapeño cheddar summer sausage, which is an easy win. The staff here is very friendly and eager to help, offering samples of meats and cheeses to help steer your decisions. And, my Yelpers, those decisions will never be bad ones.

    My family have been a fan of Opas for a while now and thought it's about time we visit their store in Fredericksburg. It's a cute little shop full of different types of meat and sausages. Looked very clean and organized inside the store. When I first walked in, there was a lady who greeted us very nicely and gave us a quick description of all the products they had. She was very friendly to my nephew, who kept asking questions and samples (appreciated her patience with him). She definitely knew her stuff and introduced us to some new products they had (chicken sausage was one, and it was delicious). We bought a bunch of sausage, including a breadboard they had, spicy mustard and other things. Everyone was very kind to us, and the whole experience throughout was great. I even thought some of their stuff was cheaper compared to places we bought in San Antonio. Overall, I totally recommend folks to stop by and try out their products.

    Opas is the best! Interacted with Customer Service recently and got a call from their President - amazing service. Now about their food products - we picked up their jalapeño cheddar sausage at HEB and it's the best!

    The sandwiches are to die for. My wife and I often drive 3 hours just to have a sandwich here. It is a MUST stop when in Fredericksburg.

    Does the place carry real German sheets of pig or rinds?

    They don't carry either, unfortunately.

    So we made a mistake eating dinner elsewhere and came here for dessert. There were no empty tables…read morebut we were okay sitting at a high top counter across from the bar. The host said normally you order from the bar when sitting there but he volunteered to take care of our order and he did a wonderful job. We got the peach cobbler and the banana pudding. Both were delicious! The peach cobbler was hot with vanilla ice cream. It is served in a cast iron skillet. The crust was perfect - not over baked and not under baked. The peaches and sauce were really good. I've had a lot of peach cobbler and this was definitely in the top 3. The banana pudding was also wonderful. It was served in a mason jar. The flavor was perfect. The pudding was smooth. The bananas were the perfect ripeness and the whipped cream and caramel drizzle on top added the perfect touch. We will absolutely come back here for a meal because of the food is nearly as good as the dessert - it will be a winner!

    Servers here are polite and very fast. We got our drink and placed our orders almost right away…read more Nice country kitchen style and one side is a full bar. We got the dinner steak which comes with your choice of two sides and the small pates version of the chicken fried steak. It was the perfect portion size and also comes with two sides.

    Went here to celebrate hubbys birthday. It was a very disappointing experience. Our waitress was…read morepolite and sparse but not friendly and talkative like the other waitresses around us. First course was crab lobster cakes. They looked over cooked but tasted pretty good. Next I had the French onion soup. It smelled of burnt cheese when they put it in front of me. But once I got passed that, the souo was good. Hubby enjoyed his cesar salad. I ordered surf and turf with risoto and broccolini. The bacon wrapped shrimp was also very charred and steak was very very salty. It was however cooked to order. If you like a lot of salt then you may like it. The risoto and broccolini were good. Hubbys rib eye was rare (mooing) just like he likes it. He enjoyed the seasonal vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. Desert is made to order so it took about 30 minutes after order to get it. But it was worth it! The wild blueberry pie was the best part of the meal. It was a large handpie stuffed with these flavorful wild blueberries and ice cream on the side. We were full but managed to eat the whole thing! 8'oclock is when the music starts in the saloon. If you want a nice quiet romantic dinner then definitely go before 8. The music was very loud. In the saloon it was way too loud so we didn't stay for the band.

    We arrived with a group of 9 on a Saturday night. We got there at 7pm and couldn't seat us until…read more930pm. But they said we could go in the bar and wait and as we did a table opened up that we all fit on which was awesome! The bar area was just like you'd expect to see in Texas. Cowboy hats, wooden floors to dance on. The music they were playing was a mix of old school 90s and 2000s which I appreciated! We ordered our food which took about 50 min to come out! Thankfully we were all enjoying the vibe that it distracted us from how long we had to wait. Even for a 9 top on a Saturday night, almost an hour seems still too long. I asked if they could take the batter off my chicken fried steak but they told me no that's essentially a steak and I'd have to pay full price for a steak which was upwards of over $50. Which was silly to me. My stomach doesn't do well with a lot of fried but the mashed potatoes and homemade gravy for the fried steak and veggies that came with the chicken fried steak sounded good so I wanted that versus a regular steak. And after I ate it I instantly regretted it about 30 min later bc although it was yummy at the time, boy did it do a number on my tummy. Just heavy. So wish they'd made that accommodation for me instead of trying to nickel and dime me. But the live music and dancing that followed helped me take my mind off it (and the sweet bartender who gave me warm lemon water for my stomach). The band was awesome and they played top 40 hits. The crowd was friendly and had a great night singing and dancing celebrating my sweet friends birthday. Such a great atmosphere and would love to bring people there and do it again. Maybe next time, I'll just order chicken ;)
