German Food in Hill Country?

[Lgalen]

I've heard that the New Braunfels area has a lot of German history? We're coming down later this week from Boston, where there is a dearth of good German food. Any "Chowish" recommendations? We'll be driving between Austin and San Antonio, and are prepared to leave the main roads in search of good stuff!
Thanks in advance!

I would agree with ericthrered. The best German food I had in Central Texas was in Wahlberg.

I can't speak for New Braunfels but a bit further north in Wahlberg there is an authentic German restauraunt. I can say that because I was born in Germany and that's all my mother ever cooked.

I just looked on the map--it's North of Austin. We weren't planning on going in that direction, but if you vouch for it's worth, we'll consider it. Thanks! What is the restaurant called?

The Wahlberg Inn

I take that back, it's the Wahlberg German Restaurant.

My parents live fairly close to there - it's good food, and a great beer garden. In the middle of the country.
