Friddhelm’s Bavarian Inn

Not a big conuessiur of German food. Had the prime rib and it was excellent! Plenty of well seasoned meat and was very tender. Simply delicious. Service was very good. Loved the old style bar.

The food was overpriced, under heated, and the waiter spent most of his time being rude to include eye rolling. I’ve lived in Germany twice and this doesn’t even come close. Disappointing to say the least.

Owner was rude and a jerk to us in front of other people. Don’t touch the tv or you’ll get yelled at.
Other than that, the food is way over priced. There are much better options in town if you want to have German food.
Seriously, go somewhere else.

Great bread, great soup, great German food and great steaks. … The service is solid, the German beer is plentiful and the dining area near the bar provides a wonderful atmosphere. My wife and I have been dining there for more than 25 years, whenever we visit Fredericksburg. … Get the Linden Schnitte … it’s one of the best steaks you’ll ever eat … heaven on a plate.

Very expensive for what you get, I got one pork chop and pan fried potatoes for $ 18. The Saurer Braten worse ever flavored gravy put on top of dried roast beef.

We ate here on a Wednesday night ¹²⁄₃₀. Order the prime rib and it was excellent. Their bread was very good as was the salad. Soup was just ok. The wait staff was ok, nothing great but she got the job done. I would definitely return.

Decent food. Horrid service. We’ve been a few times and that’s pretty standard. Better places for German food. MUCH better places for service. Not that they aren’t nice. They’re just bad.

Came here the other night for my mom’s birthday and she wanted to try some of Fredericksburg’s German fare.
We went on a weekday and there were a decent amount of people there, they have a ton of space in their dining room and bar! Our waiter was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Their fresh bread was pretty good and most entrees come with a soup, salad, and a side plus the entrees are generously portioned.
I enjoyed the vegetable soup — it is cabbage based in beef stock, very hearty and tasty. The salad was also fresh with lots of veggies. I got the spaetzle as my side and I wasn’t a huge fan. I am not sure how authentic spaetzle is but this stuff fell apart really easily and was drowned in butter. I also got the regular schnitzel and it was huge. The paprika sauce was good but it made the schnitzel soggy.
My parents got the knackwurst and the swiss chicken. Neither of those were show stoppers. The pan fried potatoes were decent though. The red cabbage is heavy on the vinegar so just be warned that it packs a punch. For dessert, we got a free apple strudel for my mom’s birthday. I really liked it — it was light and flavorful and wasn’t too sweet.
Overall it was an interesting experience. Maybe I’m just not a fan of German food, but this place didn’t impress me in the food department. Try it out for yourself though!

By far the least exciting German food I have had in Fredericksburg. The schnitzel tasted bland and generic, price seemed high for quality. Decent bread and spatzle, but there are MANY better German good choices than this. Service was slow as well, but it was a Sunday night.

Walked in and was definitely concerned that this was not going to be good. Couldn’t change the location as we had asked friends to meet us there. Cheesy atmosphere and way overpriced. It smells and is outdated. No one finished their meal and no one took it to go. Skip this place. The prime rib was overcooked and full of tough fat.

Food was fairly good, if overpriced, but the spatzle was actually cut up pasta. For $ 20, I deserved more.

I went with 25 of my friends — TOTALLY screwed up some of the bills after we told them individual checks.
Servers seemed very unnerved that we were there.
Food was good and fresh and the hostess was very friendly and outgoing.

All of my grandparents are German and I’m eating memories when I find a German restaurant. First the stuff that some people may not like. The décor is dated, we were in a room dominated by old beer signs advertising cheap domestic beers. WHY? I did waste
a few minutes trying to find a German beer sign, I thought I found one, but Molson is Canadian.
The waitress are wearing what Americans think of as traditional German attire. About as accurate as Germans think we all dress like characters from Lonesome Dove.
But it’s a memory of some of the places we went to in Chicago in the 1970s so I kind of liked it.
My wife and I split a plate, the portions are huge. It doesn’t really matter what we had. I’ve spent more at better restaurants and it was better tasting. But this was well into the upper half of the German food I’ve had in Texas. Some claim the sides are canned, I could believe that, but I’m not going to agree it was terrible.
Overall we had a very pleasant dining experience, we spent less than $ 40, which we felt was a bargain. There are several other places in town we want to visit but I would go back with confidence.

This was the worst restaurant experience I have had in a very long time. I was nervous after we walked in and did not get seated for 5 mins (no one was at the front; the place seemed deserted), and the overall smell in the restaurant (old and musty). The décor is outdated, waitresses are dressed up in German attire (cheesy), and the lighting is PINK. I was hopeful after getting the bread and the vegetable soup, but the schnitzel was absolutely terrible. Cold and soggy. I couldn’t even force myself to eat it. And not to mention the menu was super overpriced. Please don’t waste your time here and avoid this place.

What a pleasure to discover such a charming restaurant with delicious Bavarian food, wonderful waitstaff, delightful ambience, especially Sarah!
Welcome to a wonderful dining experience!

The wait to be seated was too long as the person was busy putting together and handing out take-​away dinners. The further service was very good: contrary to our experience in every other restaurant in the US we were never hurried. There was some time after the drinks were served before we ordered the appetizers; after they had been served, the waiter gave time to sample these before he took our orders for the entrees. That’s as it should be.
The appetizer [sausages] was tasty. My entrée [pork chop] was excellent: not in the least dry but succulent. The side [sauerkraut] had way too much careway seeds, though, completely overpowering the sauerkraut.
Mary’s fried liver was less fried than boiled: not really good, in a way too watery sauce.
What also needs to be improved: there was no German beer on draught, only domestic ones. That’s definitely a no-​no in a German restaurant.

Wow, this place had the best German food of any we tried in Fredericksburg. Each dinner comes with a very tasty cabbage soup which we found that if you wanted just soup, you can get a big bowl of it. We had the cheese Schnitzel that was the best I’ve had outside of Munich. Cannot go wrong here

I am not much of a German food fan, however I was having dinner here w/​about 20 colleagues, it was… ok to me, no real expectations. Everyone else appeared to like their food and I ordered a nice fat steak cooked to my liking. Job well done.

This place is where most tourists think of going to when they visit Fredericksburg for the German experience. I have been here a few times. Food is pretty good although I have not eaten enough German to give it an accurate comparison. It may be the best in the world or could be not so good. I have eaten the steaks there and they are very good although maybe a little overpriced. The one thing that really bugs me about this place is that I ordered a soda and got a refill after waiting too long for our food. I was told that is my first refill and I only get one more. Thought that was a little ridiculous considering how much you pay for food. Think this place is more of a tourist trap. There are other German restaurants in town that you probably enjoy more.

This was just off the main strip in Fredericksburg and came after a recommendation. It is a pink building that isn’t easily missed. The wait staff is friendly and the inside is larger than it appears. Try to go to the back room if you get an option. Just keep in mind that their portions are very generous! Our whole table got schnitzel and each order comes with bread for the table, soup, salad, and a choice between potatoes, cabbage, and sauerkraut. I had the pepper schnitzel which has the traditional paprika sauce but adds bell peppers and onions on top. The schnitzel was cooked well and their pan fried potatoes are well seasoned. I wish I had the chance to try the cabbage over the sauerkraut. This is a definite go to spot when you’re in Fredericksburg. It definitely helped as a break between all the wine drinking!
