Adorable restaurant with great outdoor seating. Unfortunately, it was about 100 degrees today so we…read moredid the smart thing by dining inside. Our server was amazing. She was very attentive and friendly. She kept checking up on us from beginning to end. My husband and I shared the onion rings (ranch chimichurri dip was to die for!) and a loaded wedge salad. Our entrees consisted of pork chop w/ risotto and chicken schnitzel. The schnitzel was nice and crispy. It came with a side salad. Our server ended up giving me an extra serving of the chimichurri ranch sauce after I told her how much I liked it. I did not have to ask. All together, this place is definitely worth a visit.

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.

Vaudeville is a nice spot for an upscale dinner in Fredericksburg with delicious food but at a…read morepretty elevated price. NOTES: - Reservations: available online through Resy - Parking: free street parking nearby within walking distance - Online ordering: available on their website through ToastTab for pickup - The bistro is located on the bottom level of the building (go in the doors and head down the stairs) THE HIGHS: - Beautiful interior with moody lighting and comfortable seating - Attentive servers and dishes are cleared quickly - Food is presented beautifully - Grilled lamb rack is PHENOMENAL - Their "legendary cookies" are thick, chunky, and delicious THE LOWS: - Very pricey and the menu prices were more expensive than what was on their website (lamb rack online was $47 but at the restaurant was $56) - Pistachio tiramisu barely had any pistachio flavor... there was a sprinkle of crushed pistachio on top but that was about it and the flavor didn't carry throughout THE PRICE: Expensive for the portion size (good quality but not justified by the price) - Large blood orange sparkling water ($12) - Seafood gratin ($28) - Mediterranean pizza ($31) - Grilled lamb rack ($56) - Pistachio tiramisu ($19) - Dark chocolate hazelnut cookie ($8) The total was $166.71 after tax ($12.71) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Grilled lamb rack (cooked perfectly, juicy, flavorful, and the herbed tzatziki on the side is amazing) - Dark chocolate hazelnut cookie (get one to go if you're too full... you won't regret it) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Vaudeville (it came highly recommended) and I enjoyed my meal overall. With how expensive it is, I don't think I'll be returning and probably would only recommend it to others if they really want to splurge and don't have any other options.

I almost never write reviews, but I was compelled to share…read more My friend and I were heading home to New Braunfels after a morning at Enchanted Rock and wanted something healthy, fresh, and filling on the way out of Fredericksburg. We found exactly that. Our servers/owner--Felix, Parker, and Eylon (apologies if I butchered the spelling)--were absolute gems. Kind, chill, and genuinely welcoming. The whole vibe was 10/10. I've never been to Israel, but somehow it felt like we were there. I can't fully explain it. We ordered the hummus with the works and the falafel plate from the lunch menu. Incredible. We still can't stop talking about how good it was. The food was a solid 10/10. We have zero pictures because we were fully immersed in the experience. The best way I can describe it is love and peace in every bite. It felt like a baptism. Like we were close to Jesus. I know that sounds insane, but eating here honestly felt like a spiritual experience. It's now a core memory. I couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you. Also, I'm not even religious.

Unfortunately, we decided not to eat here because of a hygiene concern that made us very…read moreuncomfortable. Shortly after arriving, I went to the restroom and encountered a member of the kitchen staff coming out while still wearing his apron. After using the restroom myself, I went to wash my hands and discovered that both soap dispensers were completely empty. Obviously, I can't say what the employee did before leaving the restroom because I wasn't inside with him, but there was no soap available from either dispenser when I attempted to wash my own hands immediately afterward. Seeing a kitchen employee leave that restroom and then discovering there was no soap available was enough for us to lose confidence in eating there. We had intended to stay for food, but instead we paid for the Prosecco my wife had already ordered and left. Hopefully this was simply an oversight and management addresses it, because something as basic as having soap available in a restaurant restroom--particularly one being used by food-service employees--is important. Unfortunately, based on what we observed, we weren't comfortable staying for a meal.

The Pharmacy is one of my favorite cafes to visit when I am in down town Fredericksburg…read more I found the service friendly, the ambiance lovely, but most of all, I enjoy the quality of their flavoring syrups, the majority in which are made in-house. I hate artificial flavors and cannot eat them, which makes getting fun drinks a challenge. When I come in, I like getting an iced lavender breve, or one of their special seasonal type of drinks on the menu. Their baked goods are also created fresh daily and have been tasty and rich whenever I have eaten there. I also feel the prices are fair for what you get. I can't wait to come back soon!!

Stopped in the Pharmacy for a quick lunch. Ordered the Tuna Sandwich (melt or whatever they called…read moreit) also the Smokehouse BBQ Chips and an Iced Coffee. Wife had a small bottle of Coke. The Tuna Sandwich was delicious. Their Sandwiches are actually made at the Albert Hotel. Sandwich seems to of been 'baked' instead of toasted, creating a light Crunch throughout. Wife and I both Loved this Sandwich. The Iced Coffee was something to be desired, and I didn't desire this one.

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!

I genuinely wanted to like Nurys on Main. I really did. Hope springs eternal, especially in…read moreFredericksburg, where good food is usually a sure bet. Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

I didn't care for it. We were a large party and sat immediately, which was nice, and the restaurant…read morewas calm and nearly empty for a Sunday but honestly, there's a reason it was so dead. Right away, the service felt off. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks before jumping straight to, "Are you ready to order food?" Then she disappeared for long periods, even though we were basically her only table besides one other couple. The food was extremely underwhelming -- basic, barely warm, and nothing memorable. On top of that, there were so many flies inside that we were nonstop swatting them away. And to make matters worse, there was a bug in my drink when it was served to me. That was pretty much the final straw. Overall, a very forgettable and disappointing experience. We probably won't come again, and I would not recommend it.

NOTES: - Reservations: available online through Tock/Resy - Parking: free street parking nearby within walking distance - Online ordering: available on their website through PopMenu for pickup THE HIGHS: - Arrived a little early for our reservation and got seated right away - Server (Tiffany) was delightful - Reasonably priced (especially compared to some other restaurants in town) - Sauerkraut balls were unique and DELICIOUS - Duck schnitzel is what dreams are made of THE LOWS: - They were out of black forest cake (which we were so excited to try) THE PRICE: Reasonably priced for the food quality and portion size - Iced tea ($4) - Pretzel Und Bierkäse ($12) - Sauerkraut Balls ($18) - 2 Duck Schnitzel ($34 each) The total was $110.40 after tax ($8.40) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Sauerkraut balls (crispy but not oily and so incredibly flavorful) - Duck schnitzel (duck breast is tender and crispy without being oily, the käsespätzle is creamy, and the kirsch demi-glacé is so unique) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Otto's after seeing it recommended online by so many people so it was a must try while visiting Fredericksburg. It ended up being my favorite dinner I had there and I've already recommended it to others because it was that good!

I found Otto's to be a bit disappointing. Maybe it's just that German isn't the type of cuisine…read morethat should be elevated... 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.
