Named One of Top Burgers in Texas!

August 2009 Texas Monthly magazine ranked our green chile cheeseburger (with grilled onions and avocado) as one of the top burgers in Texas and featured it on the front cover!

Casual, friendly, hill country atmosphere

Directions: Map >>
Leave Fredericksburg on Hwy. 290 and continue 3 miles east. Look for the brown TxDOT highway sign that says "Old Tunnel Wildlife Area". Turn right (south) on the Old San Antonio Road. Proceed 10.5 miles. The Old Tunnel WMA will be on the left at the top of the hill, turn left onto Alamo Road. Alamo Springs and Cafe is located right next to the bat cave.

On Saturday nights we feature live music from some of the finest acts in the Texas hill country. So come on out, kick back, and enjoy yourself!

There are burgers that go quietly and then there are those that must be wrestled to the mat with both hands and a pile of napkins. At the top of the latter category sits the green-chile cheeseburger at this little roadhouse ten miles south of Fredericksburg in the middle of beautiful nowhere. This burger is like a roller coaster: You have to hang on for dear life, and you cant get off in the middle. Scrumptious beef juices drip from the humongous, hand-pressed patty (no two alike!) and mix with the roasted green chiles, cheese, mayo, and mustard to create a kind of divine burger roux that soaks into the cloud-soft jalapeo-cheese bun without ever making it soggy and runs down your hands (both of them) as you bury your face over and over again in this meaty marvel..
