We love eating outdoors! Hondo's On Main has a lovely outdoor area perfect for dining al fresco. Their appetizers were quick and tasty, especially if you like cheese! The pimento and brisket balls were yummy. Everyone enjoyed their food. The Slob Cobb Salad with the vinaigrette dressing was exactly what I wanted to eat to help me cool down after a hike up The Enchanted Rock. The band was great! I didn't catch their name, but I'll try to post a video. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. When it began to rain, we were able to quickly find a table indoors. The staff were friendly and available for food delivery, clean up, and taking trays. Their method of paying at a window and using a buzzer/beeper when the food was ready seems to make ordering and receiving food very efficient. Drinks were self serve, which is nice because... no waiting!! I will definitely return. Thanks for a great experience!

Food was great, fresh and large portions. The Blue ribbon BBQ burger was a “Texas size”to say the least. Sweet patato fries were fried perfectly. Nacho construction kit was fresh and flavorful. A lot of outdoor space for eating. Margaritas are strong and have great flavors!

I came here for dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere. There was live music at the time and people were enjoying a meal and dancing to the music. I went for the brisket platter, which unfortunately want that great. The brisket itself was quite tough and not comparable with real Texas BBQ places in the area. The coleslaw was also a bit bland. Some of the other dishes I saw looked fantastic, so perhaps I just chose the wrong dish.

The food was great. I had the Poblano Chicken Sandwich, my wife had the BBQ Brisket Sandwich. We got one of each of the sides Onion Strings, Fresh Parmesan Potato Chips, Curly Q Fries and Sweet Potatoes Fries. All 4 were tasty. Definitely going back for a burger.

While planning on a trip to Fredericksburg we decided to eat here before we went back home. The atmosphere was very nice with indoor and outdoor seating. They had love music playing which I typically love when restaurants do this. I ordered the chicken sandwich which looked amazing but upon taking a bite I believe the batter they used could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion but it was still very good. The fries were very good and seasoned well. The kid's hotdog was very good as well. All in all, I will definitely come back here and update my review with the food I decide to eat. If you're ever in the area come check it out.

This was some of the best food we've had in a long time. The burger was fresh and tasted like it had been grilled outside, the hot dog was great, and the quesadilla was fresh. The chili was hands down the best item we had. There were no beans! The popsicle margarita was surprisingly good. Ended up ordering another! The salsa, guac, and nachos were good. Honestly, everything was amazing. Can't say enough about this place! Sat outside in the covered seating during a rain storm and it was dry and peaceful. Will be back again.

This was a solid spot on our trip to Fredericksburg. There was plenty of seating, live music, and a large variety of food and drinks. It wasn't exactly the vibe we were looking for on the trip but was good nonetheless. We got the curly fries with chili on top and a popsicle margarita, they were both delicious and large. You order food and drinks at the bar as there are no waiters, it was actually quite nice since we could order much quicker as well as pay and leave. I likely won't be going back just so I can try other places in town, but it was fantastic since we were starving at the time.

We met a friend here for drinks the other day, it’s a great spot and seems to be a favorite haunt. We got spicy margaritas and nachos, all were delicious. The margaritas were good sized, strong and reasonably priced! There was no live music when we were there but it was very busy (Saturday late afternoon). This is a self service establishment, you place and pick up drink orders at the bar (one indoors, one outdoors) and food orders are picked up at the kitchen counter when the buzzer alerts. We didn’t wait long for our food and everyone was kind and helpful.
