Best Restaurants in the Texas Hill Country | Eater Austin

"Nestled in the Fredericksburg resort and lodge, this Hill Country restaurant is an emblem of state pride with an exclusively Texan wine list and a creative blend of Southern, Texan, and upscale comfort fare. Start with the honey butter drop biscuits served with spiced Cabernet jam and whipped butter fused with caramelized onion, and the fried lion’s mane mushroom served with Gorgonzola compound butter and rosemary. Then, dive into the menu of thick steaks that pair well with cabernet, chicken-fried rib-eye topped with lobster and green chile cream gravy, and sous-vide bacon-wrapped quail with candied jalapeño. Don’t skip on dessert. The butterscotch walnut bread pudding with salted caramel is a prime ending." - Deven Wilson
