Texas is filled with beautiful small towns boasting bustling main streets. One of our most famous main streets is in Fredericksburg which is a great place to shop, eat, drink, and see the sites. But be sure you don’t miss the hidden gems just beyond view. One such example is Jennie’s Smoked Burgers and Tornado Fries. Located behind the road-facing building at 319 E. Main St., Jennie’s can be found by taking the side alley to find yourself in a cozy, no-frills establishment designated as #B. The menu here is simple: smoked brisket burgers, Black Angus sirloin hot dogs, tornado fries (which are similar to potato chips and served on a skewer), onion rings, fountain drinks, lemonade, beer, wine, and sangria.
Having such a modest menu allows for quality food made quickly. The brisket is ground fresh daily, hamburgers and fries are made to order with fresh ingredients, the burger buns are toasted to order, the iceberg lettuce is leafed by hand, and the tomatoes and onions are sliced freshly each morning.
