Freiheit Country Store — Restaurant in New Braunfels

This place is so awesome. Outside it just looks like a few sheds and a Stone building stuck together. But inside, it's just all kinds of history and It opened in 1889. All kinds of stuff on the walls, lots of autographs and such from people that have been there over the years. Our waitress was just absolutely super. Even though she claimed it was only her 2nd day, she had some real good knowledge. First, we ordered chicken fried shrooms. They came out fast and hot. Oh, they were good, they really were good. Then we each ordered an entree. She had the Thursday special Lesli's smothered chicken. She said the green beans were great. The potatoes probably were made with a cream instead of milk, she thought from the way they tasted.. and she just didn't like that. The cream gravy was very good and the chicken was good. It wasn't over the top or anything, so just a little disappointed. For me, I had the country fried steak fingers, and they came out just massive .... and they were really good, but I will tell you this. They were undercooked just a bit. They could have stayed a minute longer because some of the breading inside was bready they were not fully crisp it. Yeah, the flavor was great. They were very tender, and I loved the outer coating. But It just missed the mark by being undercooked. Mac and cheese. It was good, but it tasted just exactly like Kraft Mac and cheese, that's all right. I like it a lot, but they did charge a $1 extra to order that as a premium side. Then I ordered onion rings, and that was a $2 up charge, and They're huge, but you only get 5 of them, so I had 2 different upcharge. And did not really see the value. Then we were offered pie and such, and it looked great, but we were just full, I mean, there was more than enough food for both of us. Brought Home 2 of the giant fingers and half of the shrooms, and we're going to enjoy those heated up in the air fryer tomorrow. Overall, you can see, it's very good. Food could have been a little better, but there was nothing per se wrong with it. It was just a couple of things not to our liking, and by the way, you do get another upcharge. If you use a credit card, I understand that the credit card's charge with these businesses is a lot of money, but i'm just making you aware of that. If that's a problem, bring cash. There's also another side to it... back in the back. You go out through the restaurant section that we were eating in and straight out. That door is an incredible bar area outdoor area and dance hall. Lots of famous folks have played there. Lots more famous folks and will in the future. I'm sure very cool. Enjoy the pictures.... As always just my...

I went yesterday for food and a good margarita! Well, the first thing that happened was that I didn’t get acknowledged while waiting to be seated or just even to be greeted . A simple Hello or We will be right with you . Would’ve been great . Finally , this server greeted us and she said all of that . Minutes later ….

Well , I love Margaritas ! I ordered a strawberry margarita that wasn’t great at all . It’s just tasted like strawberry purée and sweet and sour . No alcohol in it. I’m very disappointed how I received that drink too . No salt around the rim and a lime just thrown in glass . Okay… The margarita was $9. If I’m going to be paying for a $9 … Rita then please put alcohol in it and give me salt around the rim . I don’t know who made the drink but it was very lazy of that person to make it like that . I felt disappointed and cheated . My sever did asked if things were okay.

I said yes but I should’ve said no ! I said yes because I was tired and I was in a rush . Not only that . They seemed busy and I was a little timid on getting my drink corrected . I didn’t want a negative response . (Attitude)

Earlier today . I called and gave my feedback to the manager Mandy . I told her that the food was great ! Server was good . The strawberry margarita wasn’t . I felt cheated on buying that drink. However, having a conversation with the manager Mandy wasn’t what I expected. It was bitter .

Her response wasn’t professional. That’s why I was worried about last night to say something about my drink ! Her response and her tone wasn’t professional.

I told her that I wasn’t calling to argue but to give feedback. My feedback has two positive comments. So why is she being bitter to me?? She did say to comeback and the conversation turn around a tiny bit better . I did tell her that the food was great and the server was good . I just wanted to give her feedback on the strawberry margarita . I’ve been a bartender for 15 years ! There was no tequila! I just felt really cheated on that . I wanted a good margarita! Anyway, truth be told. I will return back to the restaurant because the food is delicious there ! They do have dessert there too !! Hopefully, their strawberry margarita will be worth it next...

The Fat Man and his wife took a trip to Texas. Our first stop was at Freiheit Country Store in New Braunfels, Texas. Freiheit is a historic wood hut with a patio & live music, serving old-time burgers & fries with beers.

We started our adventure with the Southwest Texas Egg Rolls. This dish is chicken egg rolls and chipotle ranch. The egg roll was crispy but not falling apart. The chicken is tender, and the black beans, corn, and peppers add flavor and a little texture, with spice on the back end. The cheese adds a gooey level and creaminess. The homemade ranch cut through the egg roll with saltiness and creaminess, but the chipotle kick in the sauce did not come through.

My wife ordered The Kerry with bacon, cheddar cheese, Kerry sauce (BBQ and ranch), lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. The burger was cooked well with great flavor, and the veggies were plentiful, crispy, and fresh. The cheese melted well, thick cut, and offered a nice saltiness. The bacon was thick-cut and salty, but unfortunately, the Kerry sauce was in the background. It added creaminess and a little tang to the bite where it was found. The fries looked hand-cut and were seasoned well but tasted like they were a bit old and slightly stale.

I ordered Vic’s Famous Freiheit Extreme with bacon and cheese, fully dressed in grilled onions, jalapenos, and mushrooms. This is a ½ pound burger served on a Hawaiian bun. The bun is soft and sweet. It cuts through the bacon, which is a salty and thick cut. The cheese was sharp and salty. The veggies are fresh and plentiful. The grilled onions offer sweetness and char. The mushrooms provide a slight chew. The jalapeno was lost and didn’t have much kick. The burger was juicy, flame-kissed on a grill, and had a subtle but good taste. The onion rings were large, not overbreaded, and had an excellent crunch, while the onion did not pull out and offered texture.

Freiheit Country Store’s menu includes burgers, starters, entrees, salads, wraps, and other sandwiches. They offer beer on tap, bottles, cans, and a full bar. The wait staff was amicable. The Fat Man says that Freiheit Country Store is Fat Man Approved...
