The Auslander - Fredericksburg

They have a limited option for vegans, but if I chose the meatless sausage and then asked for milk free side, he was up there!

I have a milk allergy and informed my waiter before. I had the smoked sausage with sourded herb and potato salad. it was really good! I didn't react!

Everything was absolutely delicious! The food tasted incredibly fresh and homemade. The portions are generous and filling. Their fried pickles are outstanding! The customer service was friendly and very welcoming. Definitely a great value for the price!

For our meal, we ordered Fried Mushrooms, the Venison Sausage plate, the German Meatballs plate, a Kid's Mac n Cheese, and a Kid's Hot Dog. The fried mushrooms were fantastic, especially with the ranch dipping sauce. However, we weren't particularly fond of the venison sausage. We had ordered red cabbage (which is sour) as a side, but the dish also came with sauerkraut. In hindsight, potato salad would have been a better choice. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the German meatballs. The plate featured three generous meatballs accompanied by delicious gravy. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms and the meatball plate!

To be fair, I didn't try any of the German dishes, but my wife did. She thought the schnitzel was cooked perfectly, but she wasn't a fan of the spicy sauce on top—it reminded her too much of Frank's hot sauce. I ordered the steak, and I was pleased to find it cooked just right. The beer selection was good, the staff was friendly, and there was plenty of room to sit. We would definitely return.
