  Restaurants

Executive Chef Ross Burtwell specializes in preparing the freshest seafood, Angus beef, wild game and ranch fare at The Cotton Gin A great place for lunch, has the freshest salad bar around and a homemade soup every day.  The lunch buffet has several choices, be sure to check out the catfish at noon on Fridays!

The Hill Top Cafe is famous for its Cajun and Greek specialties, fresh gulf seafood.  Johnny Nicholas is the priopirator, a former member of the Asleep At the Wheel band, he now plays the piano and harmonica and will sing a few to keep the evening lively.

The Navajo Grill is over 10-years old and is a Hill Country standard.  Great wine list and they have recently added a covered patio with a full bar that is really nice.  Not on the menu, but one of my favorites, instead of getting the vegetable of the day, ask if you can have the FLASH FRIED SPINACH, tell them I said to try it!

Enjoy the delicious culinary creations Chad Fry and Patti Vander Lyn at Rose Hill  Chad has trained in various kitchens for 14 years, and Patti is the breakfast chef and one of the owners.  This is located just south of Stonewall, a fabulous view overlooking the Pedernales River Valley.

Troisi's Italian Restaurant

Located north of town and just across the road from Enchanted Rock, this will be a unique dining experience.  Be sure to go to the second floor patio for some outstanding views of the Rock.  Charles Troisi has created a small village here that is loaded with surprises, I'll leave it at that because you would not believe me anyway!!!  Becky Troisi is the chef. You will leave well fed.

August E's- For a memorable dining experience August E's www.august-es.com is the perfect destination. For four years August E's has delighted guests with their "Nouveau Texas Cuisine". The restaurant previously, located on Highway 290, six miles from the heart of Fredericksburg, August E's has relocated to their new central location, one block south of Main, between Lincoln and Llano streets at 203 East San Antonio Street.

For a relaxing place to enjoy a glass of fine wine, I recommend House Wine, www.intohousewine.com located at 327 E. Main. Great selection of wines, by the glass or bottle and they have some great home furnishings as well.

Golf courses

Boot Ranch  A promising new course that I have had the privelege of playing recently, and in my opinion, the big city courses don't have a thing on this one.  Designed and owned by Hal Sutton, this is a private course and part of amenities the ranch features.  Homesites and club membership are available, we can help arrange a tour of the ranch, just let us know and we'll make the appointment.

Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course is a par72, 6,432-yard championship18 hole golf course with practice facilities.

Financing Your Home >Qualifying For A Loan It is useful for home buyers to understand the difference between loan pre-qualification and pre-approval. Pre-qualification, which in today's marketplace is usually done by mortgage brokers, means working with the buyers to determine how much they can afford and which loans are the most likely to be available to them. Loan pre-qualification can save buyers time and money and can even be a bargaining tool with a seller. However, pre-qualification is not the same as loan "pre-approval". The mortgage broker can often get the buyer a pre-qualification letter, but pre-approval must be issued by the mortgage lender. Pre-approval means that the lender has definitely committed to loaning the buyer money, once the house itself is approved. Since it is a much stronger pledge, it is a much more valuable negotiating tool. When you hear someone talking about "pre-approval", they are referring to specific acknowlegment by a lender that they are willing to loan the buyer money. The real estate agent can be of assistance in this process. See All Tips In The "Financing Your Home" Category > See Complete Library Of Hundreds Of Tips In 30+ Categories >
