Arch Ray Resort

Every time I have been here I have never been disappointed. As a person who is kosher eater it is hard to find a chicken fried steak without pork in their gravy. Also I have never seen a restaurant take care of my friend who has very specific food allergies, they brought out ingredient cards and the pasta box. Top notch excellent service and food each time.

Had a good dining experience at Arch Ray 1894 Restaurant. The food was very good, but our waiter Brian was fantastic. He was very honest about the recommendations he made. He was attentive, personable, and funny. He offered to serve us on the outside patio, which is not the current practice. We had been there before and had service on the outside patio but it appears they now make you go inside to order drinks and food. We did not want to stay inside and eat as the music was a bit too loud for having a conversation. Brian was able to take care of his inside tables and our outside patio table without a problem, allowing us to enjoy a beautiful evening outside dinner. Had he not taken it upon himself to wait on us in this fashion I am not sure we would have been able to give everything a five-star experience or even have stayed as long as we did. Kudos to Brian for elevating the experience; he went above and beyond.

Arch Ray was a wonderful experience! Run, don't walk, for your personalized wine or beer tasting followed by one of the best steak dinners in the area. Ask for server, Haleigh! She is a gem and will make your dining experience that much more enjoyable. The entire staff was wonderful, but Haleigh went the extra mile. She was extra attentive, planned our wine delivery perfectly with the timing of our dinner and was so knowledgeable! She provided excellent, detailed answers to our questions so we were able to make the best choices for wine bottles to take home. We will be returning to Arch Ray very soon to try the Spirit tasting and can't wait. The ambiance of the beautiful grounds is also remarkable and you won't be disappointed to spend your next special evening with the AR team!

I planned my proposal here last weekend and it was amazing. Jody Seagers was so helpful. She helped me every step of the way and was very nice and patient with me. My waiter, I forgot her name, but she was very nice and helpful as well. I will definitely go back. The food was good as well. The facility was very nice and clean. We will definitely visit there every time I’m in the area. Thank you Arch Ray for an amazing experience.

We had a truly fantastic experience! The food was incredible—we especially loved the meatballs and fish tacos. The wine selection was excellent, and the in-house spirits were a real treat. Everything was top-notch, and we can't wait to go back.

$120 for 2....appetizer, Burger sandwich, 2 wines and 2 drinks.....the server was interested if we were members, that's when her service ended. She brought out the wine, 10 minutes later the drink came. We ordered the appetizer and the meal to be served later. She brought out the appetizer....and oh by the way the food was up.....did we want that now too....duh. She dropped off all the meal and took off. We had to wave down another employee down for condiments. The food was good, not $120 good. At the last bite of sandwich....she was back, did we want a box and to take care of the bill. We had a friend join us for a drink.....she had to go to the bar for service. She had to wait to order till a group of employees broke up the conversation to take her order. The Live entertainment was very good, we were happy to hear Dan West sitting it with the Musicians. This was our second time and last to try Arch Ray......

This is my 2nd time at Arch Ray and both times have been amazing. The wine and beer selection is great and it’s nice to have other options besides wine. The beer is a great selection and we enjoyed them. They also have a distillery but we didn’t try anything. It’s nice to have options! The building is great and super relaxed and slow paced. The service has been great both times and it’s been quick service and they’re all friendly. The view is amazing as well!

Haileigh and Austin were amazing!! Recommended the best food and was such a good sport with us giving her a hard time. Would eat here again and ask for her every time. Recommend arch ray food to everyone and talked about it at every winery!! Great people and good for the fun folks who are full of wine. Loved dinner!!

Rebecca is amazing so sweet and knowledge. The chicken salad is to die for Loaded with chicken we have come back twice in two weeks for Rebecca and the salad

Another lovely experience in the Fredericksburg area. After driving through both the Arch Ray RV Park and the Cabin based development, we stopped for lunch at the 1894 restaurant in the Arch Ray Resort. There were 6 of is on a chilly Tuesday in February. The restaurant / bar area had very few people in it, so we were seated right away. We learned that a server had called-off, so our server Brock handled the entire restaurant. He did a great job and is a hard working young man. We all ordered some draft beers made in their own on-site brewery. When the beers came, we ordered appetizers and lunch. Everything was quite tasty. I have to add that the Brussels Sprouts are among the best I've ever had. Our Wagyu - Angus burger was very good as well. So the atmosphere, service and food were all very good and I also feel the pricing was great too. We'd come back to 1894 at Arch Ray Resort.

UPDATE: I've improved my rating from 1 star to 2 because one of the owners reached out privately about my experience; I do appreciate that. If we go back to give them another chance, I'll update again. I hate to give bad reviews but this experience was so horrible that I'm hoping they learn from the feedback. This was our first stop on an organized wine tour. It included a tasting and lunch. I picked this place because I was told we could choose between a wine tasting or beer flight, but when we sat down, a waitress immediately poured us a wine sample, said nothing, and left. She was gone for quite a while so we drank the wine. She finally returned and started pouring another sample without a word. I had to stop her to ask what it was and what the first one was, and I was surprised and disappointed they never offered the beer tasting option. We had no menu to tell us anything about the drinks and she only told us the name of it after I asked the first time. No description or anything. When they brought out the food that we had pre-ordered, the dishes all came out separately so half the group sat waiting for about 15 minutes before the rest of us got our food. Also, they got one order wrong and told my colleague they hadn't started his chicken sandwich so he basically had to choose between tacos and a burger instead. The burgers looked good, but the tacos were NOT tacos like you see in the pics, they were basically two tiny (smallest tortilla you can find) quesadillas cut in quarters with a lot of tortilla chips to hide the measly lunch portion of food. What's worse is I ordered fish tacos and told them several times I had fish tacos. After eating 2-3 of the small bites, I realized my fish tacos were actually shrimp. Damn good thing I am not allergic to shellfish. I've been on many wine tours and know what to expect. This was not what I'd consider a tasting and the service was horrible. Our wine tour company made good by buying us a beer flight since that's what some of our team originally wanted, and the bartender who did that was good, but overall, I can not recommend this place and have no plans of being back.

Came with my husband, daughter and friend. Great service, delicious food, wine and bourbon! My husband and friend had the pastrami sandwich. I got to sample. Delicious and not greasy! The shoestring fries were perfect. My daughter had the burger. Also delicious! I had the salad with grilled tuna. Gosh, great selections! Will definitely come back!

As always, this is a nice and classy experience. The food is good even if you're only snacking. While I'm not a super fan of the home brewed spirits; they're good but not jaw dropping. Still, as a mixer they make a sublime old fashioned that I cannot recommend strongly enough. Tonight they had live music and we were pleased to relax with our 13 year old (who really enjoys the menu) to such a soulful guitarist. Bon Appetit!

It is a very nice new RV resort. Nice winery, good food, and good wine. It's a first-class place.

Love to visit Arch Ray for great food and wine, spirits and beer! They have it all. Riley is our favorite waitress. She is always cheerful and excellent at her job!

We came here with a group of 11 for dinner. To start our server was unknowledgeable about the menu. When our food came to us it was auctioned off as if we were at a diner. Our food was mediocre, I had the meatballs and a side of fries, the meatballs were extremely bland and were not hot. Someone also had the steak sandwich, which I tried and it was way to spicy and over seasoned she didn't even finish it. We asked for ranch for our fries and it tasted like sour cream which is odd so that was disappointing as well. While eating our food we never saw our server again and were not asked if we needed anything else through our entire stay. For someone who works in the industry, I am very patient and understanding of situation but this was an extreme disappointment for the amount we paid for our food.

Creating this yelp account just to warn everyone about this god awful place and my experience from yesterday. This restaurant is an absolute disaster. The management is completely clueless - they have no idea what they're doing and it shows in every aspect of the establishment. The food? The food was beyond abysmal - it was like someone had slapped together some random ingredients and called it a day, the taste was awfully bland. And don't even get me started on the wine! I've had better drinks from a gas station. Overall, 1/5 stars, and that's being generous.

My husband and I have been here twice now for brunch. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is fantastic. I look forward to trying dinner next.

This is a new venture. They've only been open since July. They are getting ready to break new ground on a hotel. But they have an amphitheater with periodic shows,an RV Park, winery and distillery. We only visited the 1894 restaurant. In a small Texas town, this is fine dining. I ordered the flight of wine and brought home a bottle. After tasting several wines, I brought home a bottle of the Sangiovese.. I am usually a Chardonnay girl but the Pinot Grigio and the Sangiovese were my favorites. I ordered the red fish and ask for brussels sprouts instead of roasted vegetables. They were happy to oblige. I was happy that they did because the brussels sprouts are not to be missed! My husband had the chicken and said it was delicious! The hostess, Penny, was so friendly that I feel like I need to go back and visit her like an old friend. She said the chef worked for 13 years with Wolfgang Puck and after eating,, his/her food I believe it. We had reservations for Saturday night at 6:30. The service was spot on! Mary Ann was very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely go back to this one. After a week of eating conference food, which was not bad, and Mexican food, again, not bad at all, this was a Welcome change.

The food was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Our waitress was Hannah and she was a sweetheart. Would definitely come back again and enjoy some whiskey!

We just left Mother's Day brunch and were completely underwhelmed by the service. My husband loved the burger and Bloody Mary. I ordered the lemon mascarpone crepes with berries and chocolate sauce and there was no lemon or chocolate sauce. Our waitress was nowhere to be found so I went to the bartender and this is what my meal finally looked like.

WOW!! Everything about this place is spectacular. If you are looking for a place that will fit everyone's tastes then this is the stop for you. Beer-they got it & it's great---Spirits- yup, they got it too! We tried the pink pineapple bourbon margarita & it was fantastic. Wine-absolutely perfect. We also, had dinner & loved the Wagyu/Angus steaks! We learned that it is a true Texas winery & the owners go back 6 generations here in Texas. We love supporting Texas and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful place but I'm sure the Café de olla I drank was intended to be a horse parasite killer

Roasted pork chop, fantastic. I substituted the veggies and potatoes for the cream spinach.

Found this park after our normal RV park would not allow our new rescue dog because it is part Pitbull. Beth was the woman who went out of her way to speak to the manager Jody who then said YES to our rescue. We got really lucky because this park has great hiking trails, very nice sites and convenient to everything Fredericksburg. There is a restaurant within walking distance to the RV spots. We will be back! Thanks Jody and Beth!

The ambiance is nice, but will be much better once the parking lot is paved. Beautiful building. The service is good, but they don't want you to use salt. I believe the waitress had to go to the kitchen to get us a small dish of salt because it took awhile. We were finished with the appetizer before it arrived. The food is extremely slow & it seemed the waitress got upset with me when I asked where our food was. 45 minutes after we ordered, our food arrived. I suspect they want you to drink more so food is slow. I cannot drink & the don't have tea. The food was delicious. So if you drink alcohol & aren't in a hurry, definitely go.
