Onion rings were some of the best I've ever had...obviously hand breaded to order. Meat was fresh and deliciously seasoned. Bun (just their basic bun) was really good, baked at a bakery and delivered twice a week...I asked the server. Atmosphere is fun, service was pretty good and very friendly. We thought it was well worth the drive especially cause... More

Before we headed out to our half-day trip to Fredericksburg, I found this spot through Tripadvisor. A review from a contributor said that even if he/she was not into burgers, the ones served at this place was worth the travel. Since I am not so into burgers and saw that the cafe claims they have the 3rd best burger in... More

We enjoyed some of the most juicy, delicious burgers ever!! We went during the slow part of the afternoon, so service was a bit inattentive. Nonetheless, we give this a great rating and can't wait to come again and try the gigantic onion rings and fried mushrooms.

Thirteen friends camping in Fredericksburg decided to give this quaint restaurant a try and boy are we all glad we did! Some ordered their famous burgers and onion rings and proclaimed they were the best they'd ever tasted! Husband and I ordered the ribeye steak, baked potato and salad and split it. It was totally awesome and one of the... More

We met friends with whom we were going to visit a couple of wineries along the US 290 corridor at this "out of the way" joint for lunch on Sunday. I had read about lines and slow service, but also about the excellent hamburgers. We all had burgers and shared one order of their house made potato chips and onion... More

Read reviews about Alamo Springs Cafe, so we decided to ride out and try it. The ride out was fun, saw deer, cattle and lama. The burger at Alamo Springs cafe is the best in the area! It was a thick 1/2 lb and cooked perfectly!! The home made chips are also very good. Wife and I shared a burger... More

This cafe is a bit out of the way but well worth the drive. They are rated the 3rd best burgers in the entire state of Texas. The onion rings were excellent. They have a unique flavor. The owner won't spill any secrets on what makes that unique but great flavor.

What a very cool place with some very welcoming staff. Their hamburgs are so good. You can order a wide variety of extras on your burg (roasted garlic was delicious). The price includes the usual condiments, but there is a huge list of extra things you might order. The waitress was kind enough to tell us that a full order... More

It ain't fancy by any stretch but that's part of the charm. This out-of-the-way place is rustic with great food, great selection of beer and great atmosphere. The burgers are huge and don't miss trying the fried avocado! Look at their FB page for pics of their food! It's also right by the old tunnel state park where you can... More

Great burgers and atmosphere worth the 14 mile drive from Fredericksburg. Make sure you get an order of onion rings. Friendly staff.
