Little Gretel - Boerne

If you live in Central Texas, then you have to visit Little Gretel. Traditional Czech cuisine with a hill country flair. We are there almost every weekend for the best pancakes I’ve ever had! I don’t work for them or the Chamber of Commerce. I just love good food and good people. Lani and Walter are the best tell them Jake sent you!

Called made a reservation. Got there, were the only customers, should have bolted. Employees milling about, but slow service. Charged 5 bucks to switch from spaetzel to purple cabbage. My rouladen was teeny and over-cooked. Beef was dry as Texas. Was the chef distracted with all the other orders? Nope, we’re the only customers. Price tag for four diners was about what you’d expect at Peter Lugers in NYC. The Dodging Duck next door has great service and great food, usually live music too.

We couldn't love this venue more. The food is excellent. They have a patio with great service, and pricing is very affordable. We highly recommend it!

I had the roast duck-wasn’t sure if I’d like it but it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The skin was crispy, not fatty, meat tender and the side dishes were all delicious too. We ate around 5pm so not busy then. Waiter refilled our drinks, was attentive and again, the food outstanding.

1/13/23 Update: gave them a second chance and they did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious and great hospitality! This time I give them a 5 (was originally a 1).(Original review) Wrong answer. I asked if they would make me a schnitzel (breaded pork tenderloin) sandwich since they had schnitzel on the menu. After the server checked with the kitchen, the answer was a blunt “we don’t do that”.
