Olde Irish Proverb "you aren drinking all day unless you start before lunch. Hondos is so inclined. I'm a fan of live acoustic music and there's plenty of that here today. Tones of Jonny Cash, John Melancamp and such like. Very nice- the crowd is clapping between songs. Update: Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is considered by the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy to be the "best drink in existence". While almost impossible to make on planet Earth, its effects really are similar to "having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."

Could use some sprucing up but it was a pretty cool mid day vibe. 40 bucks for the trio and two margs. Will return for margs.

Hill and Vine is one of the spots in Fredericksburg that uses high quality ingredients and cooks…read morethem properly. The atmosphere is very classic. The vibe is southern classy. I love the set up of the main dining room. I'm always a fan when you can see the kitchen preparing the dishes from your table. Hill and vine pairs their excellent food with some amazing local wines. We tried the William Chris to pair with the pork chop (which was excellent). We started the meal out with the mahi ceviche. What a flavor bomb! Highly recommend. Service was perfect. Attentive, but not overly so. I always think the price is very fair considering the quality of ingredients and the care put into the dishes. Will be back for sure when in the hill country.

The place so good we went twice in one day…read more Our first visit for lunch was wonderful, eating out every meal on vacation is hard for us so I wanted something lighter midday. We had Kristen as our server, she was so attentive and sweet. To start we tried the sweet cornbread, lavender mint lemonade, and regular lemonade. The lavender mint lemonade was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. For our meals he had the BLTA with fries and I had the avocado and lime salad with tri tip steak. Absolutely stellar food, quality ingredients and great flavors. We had leftovers for sure, lol, something to eat on the drive back to DFW the next day. For dinner, we sat outside and had Jess as our server. She was also really nice, she had quite a few tables and still managed to give us plenty of attention. We had carnitas nachos and the ground beef soup. The carnitas nachos are... unnecessarily large. lol Luckily the soup bowl was very small so I was able to help the boyfriend with some nachos. But my small effort was not enough and he tapped out of the nachos at the halfway mark. Highly recommend the nachos if you have four friends with you. =D This was a great restaurant with a lovely outdoor space. If we lived in Fredericksburg, I could easily see us making this a monthly hang out on Friday nights. If you have the chance, make sure to get in with Kristen or Jess, you won't be disappointed.

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.

Service was great nice gentleman with good energy helped us. Steak was good but burger was basic.

The chef toasted the English muffin properly, giving each bite a satisfying crunch. The twin crab cakes were also stellar - moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The yolk inside the perfectly poached eggs ran ever slightly, blending with the luxuriously lemony Hollandaise sauce. I decided to pair it with a classic lime daiquiri, served straight up in a coupe glass and garnished with a slice of dehydrated lime. If that's not your fancy, friendly bartender Fred can conjure up almost any brunch drink you can think of, including a piquant Bloody Mary that to me tastes of ancho.

Our server was a lovely older gentleman, who tried to accommodate us despite issues with the kitchen. The weather was nice and we enjoyed sitting outside with live music. Not so good things: Sitting outside was nice, except the musicians had their music way too loud for the size of the space and it was a restaurant, not a concert venue. We literally had to yell to hear each or the server. The kitchen was backed up so it took forever for our food to arrive. The food was also pretty expensive. We don't visit Fredericksburg very often, but I think we'll stick with Auslander when we want German food.

So great to see they treat both locals and new guys with the same kindness and respect. When I asked if there was a jukebox by chance the guy (I believe Skylar) said "No but what do you want to hear?" I asked for some Stevie Nicks and he said no problem. I didn't expect any of that and was overjoyed to hear some Stevie over the speakers. What cool people here! The patrons at the front gave me recommendations on good spots and were very welcoming. I ended up with a Spicy Italian. This one had a nice kick but not overpowering and a generous size along with some coleslaw and a pickle. I couldn't quite finish it all.

WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD!!!…read more If I could give this place 0 stars I would.Me and my family came here while on vacation in Fredericksburg. The place seemed to have a fun and lively atmosphere, but the was its only saving grace. When our server came out he seemed to be under some kind of influence. He informed us he was new so we gave him the benefit of the doubt. My dad jokingly said we were gonna leave on that matter and I wish we would have. For starters, our tea came out sour and UNDRINKABLE. We had to send them back in that account. Additionally, when we asked for lemon for our drinks, the server brought out ONE lemon in his hand. No bowl, not in the glass, just carrying it. Our food came out staggered and we had to constantly remind them of our order. The food itself was mediocre at best and we were heavily disappointed. !!! For the cherry on top, when our waiter was bringing out my sisters plate he ATE A FRY directly off the plate RIGHT in front of us. !!! At this point we were irritated and ready to leave. We ask for the check and were overcharged for 2 extra drinks. We made the server correct the order and comp the fries he ate. While waiting for the check, I went to go have a talk with the manger (something we NEVER do). The manager was stunned, but unapologetic. We were offered no compensation or even a "sorry" Once again WORST DINNING EXPERIENCE EVER
