Hondo's On Main Fredericksburg Reviews
This restaurant was recommended to us by several different people so we had no choice but to check it out! The food and drinks were delicious and well priced, the atmosphere was so quaint and adorable and the live music was the perfect background noise!
Had the chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes… SOOOO GOOD!! Definitely a must if you’re visiting Texas for the first time. You’re seated and given a menu and order up front. Once your buzzer goes off, you pick your own food up… no servers, it’s great! There’s also a patio with live music, definitely recommend.
Good food and the Ice tea was tasty. The salad was delicious. Fajitalada was different, another way to eat enchiladas and fajitas 😋, Brisket sandwich was delicious as well. Sweet potato fries 🍟🤪 awesome. 😎
Great music & food in a cool outside area. The chicken sandwich was terrific & so were the Margaritas. We love the jalapeños!!
Casual place that I can't recommend enough. Margaritas... Great Salsa... Great Green Chili enchiladas.... Great Fajita-Ladas.... Great. I wish we lived closer.
**I am only judging the drinks** While the food looks amazing, we only stopped here for a drink while killing time before a reservation at a different restaurant. We considered canceling our reservation because the food looked that good! Plus, for this area, the food and drink prices are very reasonable. My husband and I both got a margarita- I got the pineapple and he got the jalapeño. They were $11 a piece and we were satisfied. While we did not consider the jalepeno margarita to be spicey, it did have a nice fresh pepper flavor to it. I was very satisfied with the price/quality of the drink- especially considering we were downtown. Additionally, the live music they had was amazing and the court yard was a cool place to hang out. Can’t wait to come back and try their food!
The green chili enchiladas at Hondo’s are truly the best of the best rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. Every bite was amazing. The service was just as outstanding: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. An all-around fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
From arrival until our departure.....staff was amazing,, food delicious. We had the mac n cheese with brisket ( fell apart like butter melting) noodles tender. The burger was amazing, and the meat patty is definitely something you'll have to eat with 2 people. All fresh ingredients, and a definitely a true gem.
Great place for indoor OR outdoor food, live music (check for times), or just having a drink (full bar soft drinks iced tea etc) by yourselves or with some friends. This is a self serve place: just go to the reception table by the door (on the side) , get a table & menu from one of the friendly staff, and order whatever you want from either of two bars. Great menu selection.. we really especially enjoyed the onion ring strings.. but don't fill up on apppetizers. The lunch & dinner portions are BIG. We've loved it both times we were there.
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.
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!
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.
Fun place with a step above bar food. Atmosphere was fun. Worth the stop for sure. Wait wasn't bad and this place is one of the hot spots in the area.

Hondo's has the best chips and queso I think we have ever had. We added chili and it was over the top flavorful. The weather was beautiful, so we sat outside. The atmosphere was a lot of fun and ve…
My mom and I sat inside to eat. We had been here before together, probably 20 years ago! The food is amazing. The queso is stellar as is the burger. The meat is delicious and the bun! We got the bl…
Came here during Oktoberfest on a Saturday early afternoon and was seated right away on the open patio area. live music was nice and the ceiling fans above the outside tables was much appreciated. …
Beautiful day, great outside seating, pet friendly, nice music, excellent service and delicious food. Try the catfish! Top 10 best! Salad and bbq sandwich were great as well. We will be back!
Great place for food and music. We ate 2 totally different things there. Drank margaritas and Alstadt beer. Met some fun people from Houston. Glad we could walk back to our Airbnb. We were happy!!
Such a fantastic experience. Fabulous food, incredible value, gorgeous customer service and oh my goodness WHAT A GREAT margarita! Five well deserved stars.
Absolutely love Hondo’s! Excellent vibe, staff are superb and the food was really good. Loads of quick and easy meals priced really well. Give this place a go, you really won’t regret it.

Place came recommended and for our first night in town we decided to keep it simple. After being sat you're given your menus and then place your order at the bar. There was one counter open so if you caught the wrong time you could be waiting a bit. Food was good and came pretty quick, with the buzzer telling you to pick up. No frills kind of place which was a nice start to our weekend.
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.
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.
Everything was good. Just FYI, there’s no servers. You order and pick up at a window. I got an enchilada dish. It was different, more like a soup. It was good but not like your normal enchiladas. The house margarita was pretty good. The flys were horrible and we were inside. They leave the doors open so you may as well be outside. Spend the entire time swatting them off our food. That was annoying. Overl a good place to grab a bite and drink.

Ordered a simple hondo burger with cheese. Both burger and fries were luke warm 🙁 and I picked it up as soon as the buzzer went off. Cool atmosphere, even though I sat in the foyer. Host and hostess not rude, but pretty indifferent. Won't go back.
Ordered two burgers to go....cost was $56 and some change . Got the curly fries and they tasted worse than the bagged frozen Arby curly fries you get at Walmart. They were also cold and old. My bu…

The worst service I experienced. They said it would be a 20 minute wait and after 50 minutes we decided to go elsewhere. When we went to the front and expressed our frustration they said “well you …
Avoid unless you want to serve yourself. Mayor margarita was extremely bitter and overbearing with cheap tequila. Left it on the table for the staff to finish, hopefully this helps their attitude.
One star because the guy that was host was very rude to us. We really wanted to try this place. We were told an hour wait which was fine. We were gonna sit down to wait but we’re also trying to making sure the rest of our party was arriving when the host very rudely told us to go back on Main Street to wait. Yall need a nicer host in the front.
My husband and I were there in Fredericksburg, Texas to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food at Hondo’s was HORRIBLE. The food had such an ugly taste to it. The only good about this place was the live band. I would NEVER recommend this restaurant to anyone. Save you money and go somewhere else.
