Cabernet Grill Texas Wine Country Restaurant - Fredericksburg (TX)

5 /5 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 couldn’t get reservations because the trip was so spontaneous, but their outdoor option worked out perfectly. From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful—my husband even got to meet the chef and owner, who couldn’t have been kinder. We’re already talking about staying on-site next time! Our server, Christopher, was fantastic and guided us through their Texas-only wine list. We weren’t familiar with many of the labels, but the full-bodied blend he recommended was spot-on. I’m glad we had a bottle! We are buying more for later consumption. We decided to sample several dishes, and I’m so glad we did. The Chicken Fried Deviled Eggs were a total treat—the 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 name—so tender they practically melted in our mouths. They even brought out complimentary shots of the Roasted Carrot and Ancho Chile Soup, and WOW—absolutely 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 huge—more than I could finish. My husband ordered the Wild Organic Arugula Salad, and I’m kicking myself for not trying it. He’s normally not an arugula or beet fan, yet he couldn’t 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 incredible—tender lobster over a perfectly seasoned, crunchy, moist chicken fried steak. If you go, read the backstory on this dish—it makes the experience even better. And even though we were stuffed, I had to get dessert. The Gooey Chocolate Cherry “Spice” Cake came home with me, and I enjoyed it later at our Airbnb. Rich, gooey, a little spicy—it was perfect. 100/10—an absolute must-visit. Bring an appetite, because you’ll want to try everything. We can’t wait to go back!

5 /5 Alonzo Perez: This place is UNREAL. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the actual food, everything was phenomenal. The food especially, was some of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We ordered the biscuits and Mexican street corn as our entree, both were so delicious. We then ordered the filet mignon paired with the garlic serrano sauce and mashed potatoes. Each bite tasted better than the last. I savored as much of it as I could without inhaling it in one bite. The atmosphere is very rustic, perfect for a Hill Country dinner. Once we sat down, the table felt elegant and perfect for a romantic meal. Finally, our server, Miguel, made the experience so seamless. He was knowledgeable with their extensive wine selection, and everything he recommend was the right choice. Overall, would be back in a heartbeat.

5 /5 James: This is an experience. The food was absolutely outstanding! Kyle was awesome with service. I never felt neglected but I never felt bothered either. His timing was perfect. The food was what dreams are made of. The lobster boudain balls were just enough to whet the appetite. They were melt in your mouth good. The steak I had was perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy. The Garlic Beranaise sauce on the side enhanced the flavor of the steak even more. The Smashed Potatoes and Three Cheese Grits were phenomenal as well. I really enjoyed my experience here and there is no doubt that I will be back.

4 /5 Deidra Kaye Rector: Husband got a $62 steak and he was not too impressed….he said it just lacked flavor….but the horseradish sauce he mentioned was EPIC!!! My flounder was pretty good but the sweet mashed potatoes were THE BOMB!!!!! Our waiter was super diligent and helpful with menu. I was happy to receive a birthday cheesecake and ordered an additional slice of pistachio cheesecake that was out-of-this-WORLD!!!!!!

5 /5 Marti Woodard: We all LOVED Cabernet Grill! We tried so many different dishes and literally loved them all! I am so happy we came here! My favorite thing was probably the boudin balls. The crab cakes were also so good! Pistachio cheesecake- a must! Honestly you can’t go wrong here!!
