    This was such a cute cocktail bar with delicious drinks. We stopped by on our first evening in…read moreFredericksburg after dinner. We enjoyed the atmosphere - it looks like a house-turned-bar and has so much charm. We were able to place our orders at the bar and one of the bartenders brought it out to us in the backyard. We sipped on our delicious drinks while rocking on the swinging bench outside. We decided to share the volcano ashes and floating petals cocktails. The volcano ashes was a bit too bitter for my taste - if you're someone who wants very little sweetness in your drink, this is the one for you. The floating petals was much more my style - the mix of floral tastes was lovely and it was on the slightly sweeter end, just how I like it! We decided on two sangrias after that which were nicely spiced and absolutely lovely. As it got colder outside we decided to move to one of their side rooms, which has nice furniture and is a bit more private than the main room. The bartenders were very kind and the drinks were delicious! Definitely check this spot out on your next visit to Fredericksburg.

    We were thrilled when the old Train Station was finally restored and open. We saw the name and…read moreeagerly looked forward to some New Orleans-style food. Bummer. Chicken Strips, Burgers and Pizza. Our party of three (3rd person differed, but 2 are the same) went for lunch and dinner on two occasions. Not a hint of New Orleans, so beware. The food we ordered, pizza and chicken strips (all chose the same dish on the two occasions) were available for considerably less in town and better quality and value for the money...Sonic chicken strips or those from Chicken Express are much better. The pizza tasted meh and frankly seemed to be inferior frozen pizza. Do not recommend food. We all had either tea or soft drinks, not impressive but again overpriced. The worst thing was the incredibly bad acoustics and blaring piped-in music (we went when there was no live music. The floor appears to be Saltillo Tile, and whenever a chair moved, imagine the sound multiplied many times over in a fairly small room with soaring ceilings and no deadening at all. A reasonable volume might have been bearable; we spent the entire time shouting at each other just to be heard and STILL not being able to hear. When your eardrums physically hurt after dining out in the daytime, there's an issue. The waitstaff were friendly and fairly efficient, and the building is extremely historic and beautiful. I was surprised to learn from previous reviews there was gambling on each end of the building; no one mentioned it and I assumed I missed that in the ads. I don't have a problem with it, but it does appear that might have added to the noise. We were sort of alarmed after seeing the proximity of the stage to our table and experiencing the over-worked sound system. I can only imagine. There was no issue with parking the times we were there, even though both gaming rooms were visibly busy. The lunch visit was full; supper a bit less crowded. I'm relieved our party was always adult and family/close friends. Honestly, the restaurant was, in our highly disappointed opinion, not worth returning for a second visit, and we won't be back. How sad.

    What a cool space! Beautiful old train station building - they've done a fantastic job of restoring…read morethe historic aspects while making it modern enough and inviting. The menu is pretty small with appetizers and burgers and a few other choices. We had some fried okra and each had the Rio Grande Burger with fries. Decra tasted delicious and appeared to be homemade. The burgers were huge and very tasty. I'd love to come here some live music here and try their cocktails (which are very reasonably priced).

The staff were very friendly so no issues there. We went in on a Friday at 6:00 pm and were the only ones dining. Shortly after one other couple came in. Not sure if it's this dead because summer is over or because it was a hot day but we were surprised how empty it was for a Friday evening. The menu itself isn't bad. No appetizers on the menu but a decent selection of entrees so no issues there. I order the NY strip with grilled Brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. I'll start with the positive - the steak was ordered medium-rare and it was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, there was just very very little flavor or seasoning to the steak - it wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. The Brussel sprouts were huge - and I expected they would be 'hard' in the center (as often happens with larger Brussel sprouts) but I was pleasantly surprised that they were perfectly cooked and tender. Unfortunately they were also very under seasoned. One of them had an oil or seasoning on it and it was delicious but the rest had none and lacked flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were the highlight! Potato skins in them; nice rich and smooth texture and perfectly flavored. Best part of the meal! We also tried the steak tacos which had thin strips of steak in corn tortillas with corn, a sauce and cilantro and came with black beans and rice. The strips of steak were excellent - slightly charred (perfectly) on the outside and flavorful. The sauce had a wonderful flavor to it. The tortillas were very soft and moist. The tacos were very good. The black beans were black beans and the rice was rice - neither were bad and neither were great - no special flavor. Would we come back? If we were staying at the property again we might go back. The convenience is their main selling point. That said, Main Street in Fredericksburg with literally dozens of restaurants is only 3 minutes away. If The Club could 'up' their seasoning, they would certainly be worthy of 4 stars.

We love discovering new places to us. After a great weekend in Fredericksburg, we find the Barrel House. The southern cuisine on the sign sold it even before we sat down. I'm a big fan of Cajun and creole cooking. We started with the fried boudin balls and gator bites, both were excellent fried to perfection with just a hint spicy bite. I had the chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns. Steak was tender enough to cut with a fork, and was on point. Cynthia had the breakfast burger which she said was cooked to perfection as well as crispy along the edges. A great meal along with great service which allowed us to get back on the road and headed home with full stomachs. A full stomach and a Dateline podcast made those three hours a little more bearable

When we came in the woman who seated us tried to walk us through what was and wasn't available that day which was poorly presented and left us a bit confused. Asked our server and her description was hard to follow as well. Put in our order and the chips and queso were great. Fish tacos were good as was chicken fried steak and tender plate. My eggs were over cooked and my steak way undercooked for medium rare. Flavor on the steak was great though. Spent most of the meal wishing the server would bring more water. Certain this place can be better than our experience but this time was more off than on.
