Opa's is familiar to anyone shopping for sausage at the supermarkets in Central Texas. However, even if you've tried their signature bratwurst, it's definitely worth stopping by this uniquely cute deli/store. Parking can be found at one of two small lots at the front/side of the building. Signs will direct you to the front door. Inside, the store is on the small side but immaculately clean. There's cold cuts, pickled vegetables, and all of their meat/sausage selections. Only about 4-5 are sold in the supermarket, but here you can find their entire selection, including an intriguing smoked beef or pork tenderloin. The store owners are friendly and have a lot of knowledge on their products. Definitely worth a stop during a trip to F'burg! read more

We had an early entry appointment at Enchanted Rock and were looking to find a restaurant with a boxed lunch for our outing. Opa's was open at 8:00 a.m. and their very friendly staff helped us put together exactly what we needed. Excellent smoked meat sandwiches, chips, bottled drinks and even a pastry. If you are looking for a deli to grab a box lunch for your day trip to Enchanted Rock, Opa's is your place. read more

Stopped in the last 2 times we were in Fredericksburg. This place is awesome! The shop is super clean, bright and inviting. The selection of meats and cheeses is second to none. Service is quick and friendly. The star is the sausages and sandwiches though. Delicious and very filling. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to stop by Opas!! read more

I got a sandwich from here. A little pricey, but still great. I recommend getting bacon on yours if you go. It makes the sandwich even better! read more

Walked in on a Monday to get a custom deli sandwich. I LiTeRaLlY had to unhinge my jaw to take a bite! This sandwich was jam packed with flavor and toppings. Grabbed a specialty soda and this meal put me into a food comma . Definitely recommend checking out their website/menu! read more

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 read more

Great little German food shop selling delicious sausages, cold cuts, and general German items. Some of their sausages are sold in central market, but only a 3 types. Here, you can find them all! And sample them. The store owners are friendly and have a lot of knowledge on their products. So you can come in knowing nothing and leave with confidence in making your next German meal! Great shop in Fredericksburg. Every time we're in town, we stop by for a few packs of brats. And they have a parking lot. read more

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 read more

They make a damn good sandwich, best in town I'd say. Everything is fresh and tasty. They never disappoint.

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. read more

Great ribs. Everything was great. Great sides, great desserts. Wish it was closer to Austin because it is one of the better barbecue places. read more

Right by the door they present warm slices of sausages to be tasted with various sauces and mustards - delicious and very smart! Spicewalla spices looked interesting. Small deli counter if you're hungry. An array of delicious looking sausages - we got several. They do ship in the U.S. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Best sandwiches ever! We have to stop and get lunch at Opa's if we are in Fredericksburg. They have a full service deli with many amazing products; smoked meats and cheeses, pickled veges, and much more. You can order a lunch with a sandwich, chips, and cookie to go. They have specials or build your own. We have our favorite which is the honey wheat sourdough roll, with smoked turkey and cheese. The chicken salad is great also. The staff is super friendly. It's the perfect lunch to grab and head to winery for a picnic. read more

The best meats!! Can't go to Fredericksburg without stopping here for some great stuff! We buy their sausage every visit.

My favorite it the bratwurst but they are all good! read more

We legit Drove all the way to Fredericksburg just to buy Opa's Smokes Turkey Legs. Worth the time and every penny we spent.

Purchased some of the lunches that include a drink and bag of chips. The Ruben and ham and cheese were the best of the bunch. The ham was very good, the honey wheat bread complimented it. The Ruben was the best ever. The pastrami with mustard and added sauerkraut was dry, needed more kraut or mustard to moisten. The marble rye roll was good, it can stand up to more kraut or mustard. I was eyeing up the smoked sausages and head cheese in the little cold case however I didn't want a pound of head cheese to go. read more

We got there late from a long drive and it was our first time there. We ordered a Pastrami sandwich and a roast beef Sandwich. We took them back to our hotel. They were SO delicious and fresh. Even the bread was perfect! We will definitely be back again! read more

We ordered togo a Bratwurst sandwich ($6.99) and a side of German potato salad to enjoy after a hike at nearby Enchanted Rock State Park (side note ~18 miles out of town, reservation required). After the hike, we enjoyed our nicely wrapped sandwich (cut in half, thank you). Not as punchy as I hoped given the sauerkraut and German mustard were on the sandwich, note the brat was thinly sliced so not quite the same experience. On the other hand, the German-style potato salad was quite excellent granted a bit pricey ($3.89 for an 8 oz cup). I read more

Opas made 5 appetizer trays for my fathers 90th Birthday party. I had no idea they did that. The trays were over the top wonderful!!! I can't express how beautiful they were. The art that went into creating them was just incredible. The people working in the store where we picked them up were so gracious and so nice that I wanted to let everyone know. If you're looking for something for a special event, and you want to work with some really special people, call Opas In Fredericksburg. They are over the top fantastic! read more

Drove from San Antonio to Fredericksburg & decided to get sandwich. Ordered it and asked to use restroom (we are a couple in our 70's). Tall blonde said we don't have one. I knew this wasn't true because I used it before. I didn't say anything because I was hungry. Clerk said there's one at Judy's across the street or H‑E‑B two blocks down. So we drive across the street. (By the way, Judy's was very nice & I would recommend their liquor store). We went back and got sandwich and left. I just think it's pretty rude they can't let 2 old people, who are customers, use their restroom. Consequently, I will never go there again. Sandwich wasn't that great anyway. read more

I've always been a fan of Opa's, that is until I visited this shop. Service was horrible, they acted like I was bothering them by being there. After annoying the employee behind the counter I went to pay and the two ladies looked at me and sat down at the computer. I left empty handed. The other reviews are true, I didn't want to believe it but they must hire the only rude people in Fredericksburg. read more

Love Opa's sausages. Also their sauerkraut. and red cabbage is to "die for". But the best is Opa's ghost chili salsa!!!!!
