Cabernet Grill Texas Wine Country Restaurant - Fredericksburg
Living_Life My husband and I took a quick weekend trip to Fredericksburg for our 36th anniversary and were lucky enough to snag outdoor seating at Cabernet Grill. We couldnât get reservations because the trip was so spontaneous, but their outdoor option worked out perfectly.
From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderfulâmy husband even got to meet the chef and owner, who couldnât have been kinder. Weâre already talking about staying on-site next time!
Our server, Christopher, was fantastic and guided us through their Texas-only wine list. We werenât familiar with many of the labels, but the full-bodied blend he recommended was spot-on. Iâm glad we had a bottle! We are buying more for later consumption.
We decided to sample several dishes, and Iâm so glad we did. The Chicken Fried Deviled Eggs were a total treatâthe hot honey gave the perfect punch. The Texas Twinkies were stuffed generously with delicious beer sausage, and the Bragging Rights Biscuits lived up to their nameâso tender they practically melted in our mouths.
They even brought out complimentary shots of the Roasted Carrot and Ancho Chile Soup, and WOWâabsolutely incredible. The flavor and texture were so perfect that I would have taken some to go if our travel schedule allowed. I will return just for that soup.
Next came the salads. The Steak Knife Wedge Salad was crisp, chilled, and hugeâmore than I could finish. My husband ordered the Wild Organic Arugula Salad, and Iâm kicking myself for not trying it. Heâs normally not an arugula or beet fan, yet he couldnât stop raving about how good it was. He finished every bite.
Our main reason for choosing Cabernet Grill was the Lobster-Topped Chicken Fried Ribeye, and it absolutely delivered. We shared it - photo is 1/3 of the portion! (our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs!) and every bite was incredibleâtender lobster over a perfectly seasoned, crunchy, moist chicken fried steak. If you go, read the backstory on this dishâit makes the experience even better.
And even though we were stuffed, I had to get dessert. The Gooey Chocolate Cherry âSpiceâ Cake came home with me, and I enjoyed it later at our Airbnb. Rich, gooey, a little spicyâit was perfect.
100/10âan absolute must-visit. Bring an appetite, because youâll want to try everything. We canât wait to go back!
