Last night we decided on a whim to eat out and picked Krause's from my bucket list. When we…read morearrived, they were hosting a ticketed event and the outdoor area was very busy, with the parking lot full. Fortunately, we were still able to get a table in the café without any issue. I'm giving 4 stars mainly due to the service. Our server seemed quite disinterested, and when we asked about the drink menu, it wasn't clear whether he was unfamiliar with it or simply not inclined to go through it with us. Either way, the experience in that area wasn't great. We ordered the Rueben fries, and Texas schnitzel and both were amazing, the food came out fresh and hot and we had zero complaints. The gravy with the schnitzel was so flavorful and the green beans were cooked to perfection. For dessert we ordered the hummingbird cake and wasnt let down by our choice. With better service this would have been a 5 star review for sure.

Eating out with a 16-month-old is like dining with a ticking time bomb. You never know if they're…read moregoing to sit happily and enjoy the meal or suddenly decide to scream at the top of their lungs! Because of that, I've recently found myself searching for family-friendly restaurants with large outdoor areas. That way, if my little one gets fussy, I can walk around with him, and we're not stuck inside worrying about disturbing other diners. Freiheit Country Store was perfect for our needs. The outdoor area is large and spacious, and the overall atmosphere is very family-friendly. It has a relaxed vibe that feels just right for families with young children. One small observation: I do wish some parents paid a little more attention to their kids. It had recently rained, and a boy was throwing rocks into a puddle, causing water and mud to splash onto my husband's back. We politely asked him to stop, but he continued, and we couldn't spot a parent nearby. As for the food, it was served quickly, arrived hot, and tasted great. No complaints there. My husband also appreciated the simple and efficient ordering process. Overall, this is a great spot to grab a bite to eat, enjoy a cold beer, and relax in a family-friendly environment. We'll definitely be back

If you're looking for authentic German food in Austin, The Black Forest food truck at Live Oak…read moreBrewing Company is the place for you! This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer. The menu focuses on classic German food. Menu favorites include Schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, fresh baked pretzels, house made potato salad and homemade mustard and pickled vegetables. In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

My only complaint was the set up when you walked into the event- I needed to give out bracelets at the entrance to my guests, which was where the bar was and then our buffet line. Upon arrival it was very chaotic. I'd suggest arriving early to figure something else out if you hosting an event on that terrace. The place was pretty busy for a Monday night, but the food was hot and the servers we had were right on top of drink orders. I did have a few people complain to me about the taste of the well margaritas. It was too sweet and I'm not totally sure there was any tequila

It is very rustic which made it feel super authentic It is owned by a family husband and wife. I wish I asked for her name all smiles she greeted us and I decided to get the 3 meat combo which I picked the cordon bleu, the chicken schnitzel and the pork schnitzel and I still added the wurst curry. For the sides I got the sauerkraut and the potato salad. My friend got the chicken schnitzel with the cabbage and French fries Let me start by saying it is CHEAP!! My plate is $21.50! It is huuuge! Me the one who can eat a lot! I couldn't even tackle half of it! It definitely can feed easily 2 hungry people! Everything tasted amazing! The cordon bleu though is next next level! I so wish it is closer to me I would just go have lunch there every single Saturday! Also it is true when service is friendly the whole experience becomes better! This lady is pure joy... she is always laughing! After the meal we were outside and she came out playing a bit with her son. It was so sweet to watch! Now this place is on my list of taking visitors... friends... whoever gets in my car going towards this area for a day trip!

I will begin by acknowledging this is an Austin and UT institution. A common place Austin folks…read morehave enjoyed for generations. It's really cool at those times, although the amount of people during game day can be overwhelming. I've been a number of times over the years. The food has always been okay, not great. This last time, I ordered the pastrami sandwich, no aioli. The sandwich came dry. Thankfully I had asked for some mustard for my waffle fries. It was supposed to be on a brioche bun, or maybe I mistook the two pieces of white bread I got as something less than they were. It's supposed to have brie on it, and maybe the heat evaporated it all into the pastrami? The house made pastrami itself was very good. My daughter had the green chile and cheddar sausage and commented that the bun was pretty much a piece of Texas toast. We did have an excellent pretzel and the green goddess salad was capable of being split among three of us. These things make me think I just picked the wrong thing. For all the times I've been to Scholz's, I haven't picked the right thing that makes me excited to go back to eat.
