xplore some of the German heritage that Fredericksburg has to offer by popping into one of the many German restaurants and biergartens that you will find around town. We personally love Fredericksburg’s Auslander Restaurant. Not only do they have authentic German food, but they have a couple of great biergartens that you can sit in to get a real biergarten experience and a fun photo. The Auslander really is one of the best places and a fun German restaurant!
