Welcome to Andy’s Steak & Seafood Grille!
Welcome to the home-style restaurant: “Andy’s Steak & Seafood Grille.” As you walk through the entrance, you enter into the “second home” of
Don and Mary Wise, owners. It is the Oldest Continuous Restaurant Operation in Fredericksburg, Texas. The original location was on Hwy. 87
North, in 1955. Then it was moved to Washington (now being referred to as “Washington Square”). In 1991, Don bought this business from the
original owner, Andy, and has maintained the same old-fashioned quality of freshness. As Don quoted, “We try to cook like Mom used to, just
keeping it simple, and using the best quality ingredients possible.” All foods are made from scratch, and after meeting Don and his wife, Mary, it
is apparent the foods are prepared with love. This is the most important secret to all good cooking that brings people back for more. Don worked at
Luby’s for ten years, before he bought “Andy’s Diner,” as it was originally named. It was interesting to learn Don has 32 employees, of which 22
have been working with him for eight years or longer. This is also a sure sign of success.
There Old-Fashioned Hometown Meals include: Breakfast – served from 7:30am.-11am.; on weekends a Breakfast Buffet is served from 7:30am.11am. Lunch is served from 11am.-2pm., 7 days a week. Dinner is served Monday-Thursday from 5pm-8pm; Friday and Saturday from 5pm-9pm;
and on Sundays they close at 2p m. They also do catering and parties. Every Friday evening they serve a “Full Seafood Buffet.” They have the
“Largest Salad Bar In Fredericksburg.” Their “Lunch Specials” include: an entrée, 2 vegetables (from a choice of 5-6 vegetables), a desert and a
drink all for the price of only $9.00. Two different types of homemade soup are served daily. I sampled the broccoli-cheese soup and it was delicious. Their meats are butchered on the premises, so they’re extra fresh.
