Karen Bailey We visited Farmhouse tasting room for the first time. Cami, our host, was friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. Owners are farmers and wine makers - good combination. We also had a really good charcuterie board. This will be one of our regular stops when we’re in the Holl Country!

Tim Bruton In preference to red wines, the Grand Tasting was good. We had two pizzas, the unique South African Summer Pizza which has a banana flavor; and the Pollo Loco pizza which has a Chipotle flavor and pairs with the Cabernet Franc. We sat outside on the patio; the view was nice and the weather was cool for October, 72°. Tastings are only covered if you join the Wine Club, no discount for buying bottles on-site.

Lancey Lane Quirante So glad we came to this place and not the other restaurant down the street. The food came out fast and you get a big portion. We had: Fish Mojorra 9/10 - fried perfectly, the sides were meh Barbacoa meal 8/10 - a little bland but it was so soft ! Chicharrones taco - 9/10 - soft and crispy at the same time, wish I had some toppings though Pastor taco - 10/10 so flavorful Sopapillas - not bad 7/10, nothing to note I had the drink in a bowl and that was super refreshing. It was the server’s first time making it and she made it well. If I ever come back in the area, I’d definitely fingers again. The food prices was 10/10 :)

monica brents ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I came into Dairy Queen late with a group of 16 energetic young adults, and the staff absolutely knocked it out of the park! Despite being close to closing time, they took our orders efficiently and got everything out quickly. What really stood out was their fantastic attitude, friendly and professional even under pressure. Thanks for making our late-night visit a great experience! Highly recommend this location!

Robert McDowell Christophe was asked to come be the chef for great friends of ours wedding. Lets just say i see how they went from friends to family, I cant say enough good about Christophe. Then he served up this meal for the rehearsal dinner. It was just short of life changing delicious! If you ever have a chance to eat food prepared by Chef you owe it to yourself to have a true experience in culinary excellence.

Tu Hoang The food was great! The chef let us tested a dish and it was delicious. The staff were nice and attentive. I’m pregnant so I requested a mocktail off the menu and the barista understood his assignment. I definitely come back if I’m in town again. The only thing is the menu is limited, but the quality is good.

Marissa Resendez Absolutely dynamite! This place is a must-stop if youre heading to or passing through Fredericksburg. The owner is incredibly friendly, service is quick, and the breakfast tacos are some of the best I’ve had in a long time—way better than anything in Austin. The tacos are huge, served on homemade tortillas, and the fresh red and green salsa is amazing. Don’t hesitate—stop by, you won’t regret it!

Diego Salinas Definitely the most solid coffee in all of Johnson City. I appreciate the size of the cafe, as well as the variety of options. The coffee in general has good flavor options - the honey pecan latte was divine. Plus they use Greater Goods beans, so their roast is solid. If you come there is also a food truck park on the side so there are options to eat!
