Chicken Fried Steak was cooked perfectly, the pretzels and jalapeño poppers were a heavenly appetizer. Customers service and atmosphere was top notch. Must stop if your anywhere near the beautiful small town of Slaton

Well I went there. For the first time on a Sunday for an hour lunch break got off 15 minutes early. To go try this place. Got there. At 11:50. I didn't get to order until 12:30p.m. by the time I got my plate and my kids plate it was almost 2 p.m. I liked it. But because of them my time for lunch break went over. I am hoping my boss doesn't fire my for going to lunch and going over the time frame because they chose take that long. But the food was great. But the time frame to get it took to long. Shoot I even ordered desert. It was Great.

Overpriced bar food with too many missing menu items and incompetent service. It's obvious this place is propped up by local fanboys with more dollars than sense.
The server returned twice in 20 minutes to inform us that our items were no longer available. This pushed our wait time to 80 minutes before our food was ready on a moderately busy evening. Our mixed drinks were served with ZERO alcohol and fortunately they agreed to refund us the drinks after I politely brought this to their attention. I stuck to beers after that sad experience. Our food was too greasy, oversalted and not worthy of being advertised with German attributes in any way. Slaton deserves better than this. Please train your staff better, paricularly knowing what items are either low on inventory or gone before taking a customer's order, don't cheat the alcohol, and step up the food quality!
Response to owner: We ate there on Mother's Day, 2025.

We chose this restaurant because I had never had a schnitzel before & have seen them in german street food videos on YouTube. So I ordered the Jaggerschnitzel, which was topped with a traditional mushroom gravy & I really enjoyed it! I think it was a bit overdone because the breading was slightly burnt but I have never had one so I don't know if that was intentional or not 🤔 My sides were the mac n chz & sauerkraut, which both were great! My husband had the Ribeye (medium) with a side salad & the loaded mashed potatoes. Salad was really good it was not just a boring side salad & the loaded mashed potatoes were really yummy!!! His steak was definitely rare not medium (it was blue) & it was really chewy. I imagine the chewiness came from not being cooked long enough. (He is a firm believer in not sending anything back unless the kitchen is in full view, for those wondering why he didn't send it back.) But the pretzel.... CHEESE AND RICE that dang PRETZEL!!!! Just so so yummy!! I gave atmosphere a 4-star because we really couldn't even enjoy our meal due to the unbelievable amount of flies. I know something like flies can't be controlled but geez have someone grab a fly swatter & start killing the 15 flies that were at the front door at least. (And for this saying they don't want dead fly guts in their food, that's why I said for them to just kill them by the door because it's far from any tables.) If it wasn't for the flies the atmosphere would have absolutely been 5 stars because it is just really cozy and so cute in there! Just the exact definition of a small town mom and pop local joint that several have tried to recreate in movies. Service!! If I could give service 357 stars I would! 😀 We will be back because I want to try other things on the menu & of course I'll have the pretzel again! I do recommend you go try this restaurant because it was worth the 1 hour drive for us to get there 😉

We met family there and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the music outdoors. The chiltons were perfect. Very enjoyable evening

Being from Germany I was very curious about the German food that was served here. We were pleasantly surprised, the schnitzel was spot on as was the red cabbage. Cudos to the cook!!! The price was very reasonable and the service was outstanding. Desiree is a delight, fast and super friendly, that is what good customer service looks like!!!! We came all the way from Carlsbad NM just to try this place. Texas 1809 did not disappoint, we will be back!!
Texas 1809 is always a good place to go. I love the patio and the food is so tasty.

The food was delicious and as close to home cooking as you can get. My oh my that chicken fry, and the pineapple, jalapeño margarita *chef's kiss*! Our server, Emery, was an absolute doll. The drive to Slaton is well worth it!
