Walburg is a tiny community in Texas with fewer than 300 residents. Serving as a gateway to the Hill Country, few people actually stop and see what the town has to offer. Unbeknownst to most, this blip on the map is home to an amazing restaurant boasting delicious, authentic German cuisine in a century-old mercantile building.

In 1882, a German immigrant by the name of Hy Doering named this Central Texas town after his birthplace. He established the Walburg Mercantile in this very building, providing dry goods to the community for over a century.

The atmosphere is akin to that of a Renaissance fair. Sit inside or in the outdoor Biergarten, where you'll find a bar and arcade for kids.

Live entertainment is a permanent fixture, with a professional yodeler and accordionist taking the stage most nights. Both performers and waitstaff are dressed in traditional German attire, making the experience even more authentic.

As for the food, it's everything you'd expect from traditional Bavarian cuisine. Bratwurst, several types of schnitzel, sauerkraut, and plenty more classic dishes take your taste buds on an overseas vacation. A weekend buffet also includes several American items to satisfy diners with less adventurous palates.

It would be a cardinal sin to leave without dessert. Have you ever tried a REAL German apple strudel? They're life-changing, y'all.

Of course German Chocolate Cake is on the menu, and you've never had it quite like this. Covered in coconut frosting and chocolate ganache, this thick slice of heaven is an obligatory ending to your meal.
