Silver Creek Beer Garden

Silver Creek Beer Garden seems like an awesome place no matter what time of day you decide to go.  We were passing through Fredericksburg around lunch time and stopped.  There was a man playing and singing country favorites on the patio.  He was quite good.  I would like the see the talent that comes in the evenings or on the weekends.

I had the reuben plate, which was good.  And a good German beer!  

Nice beer selection, but I wish more beers were on tap.

Had dinner here and had the trout. Larger piece than any other place I have eaten. Luckily it was also good. Came with rice and roasted vegetable. Triple chocolate cheesecake was great.
Had jazz night and the noise level was, loud, loud and loud.

On our vacation get away to the charming little quaint Fredericksburg, the hotel front desk attendant suggested we try this restaurant as we were looking for a place with a patio to enjoy the beautiful summer night. She mentioned that there is also live entertainment as well which definitely perked my ears up, coming from the live music capitol of the world where live music should be a staple at every outdoor dining establishment in my opinion. Upon arriving to the restaurant which is off of Main St., you can hear the live music a block away with the great acoustics that the patio provides. This restaurant is located in a house that is set back a few feet from the road which provides the front seating area. The tables are definitely close together, so make sure you're not talking about personal topics that you wouldn't want your neighbor knowing. Since this was a Sunday evening, I'm surprised that the patio was full and they had 3 different acts rotating for a few hours. I think it was open mike night, but I'm not sure. Either way, they all sounded great and only added to the relaxing ambiance. BTW, this is one of the few restaurants on Main that actually stays open past 8:00pm which is an added bonus in this town.
My partner and I gorged ourselves on German food, but of course since we don't get the opportunity to do so in Austin due to limited options. He ordered the German sausage plate which comes with grilled bratwurst, knackwurst, and pepperwurst sausage with delicious rustic mashed potatoes and red cabbage. This plate is huge, so make sure you come with a large appetite! I sampled everything he had and it was very delicious! My entree was the Bavarian Jaeger Schnitzel which was topped with a mushroom sauce, and served with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. The meat was tender, but I'm glad it had the sauce to give the meat some moisture and flavor. This possibly was the sourest sauerkraut I've ever had. I loved it, but just be prepared to make those puckered lips and arched eyebrows like you just sucked on a lemon. We split a side order of spatzle which was super delicious! Make sure you try these fried German dumplings! The dinners we ordered were reasonably priced at $12.50  for such a large portion of delicious food which made us happy after buying lots of wine earlier in the day. Overall, it was definitely a great relaxing fun dinner and I would definitely come here again the next time we're in town.
