Best Restaurants in the Texas Hill Country | Eater Austin

"Deep in the heart of Texas is a well-preserved German heritage that anyone would expect to find in the Lone Star State. It might not match the image of cowboys and cacti, but the Old World immigrants who founded Fredericksburg in the mid-1800s brought a taste of their homeland that visitors can’t get enough of. Get a taste of Germany by way of Texas at this Fredericksburg restaurant inside a charming limestone building with tables and decor best described as “grandma chic.” Chef-owner Ingrid Hohmann continues to serve this old-school outpost, which many revere as one of the top places for Texan-German cooking. While a beer might feel fitting, embrace the wine country aspect of the region and sample the local Riesling for a guten time." - Deven Wilson
