Parking is on hard dirt with some asphalt on the opposite side of the road or on hard gravel directly by the restaurant. Kickstand plates are recommended but so far, no bike has had a problem yet.

The place is small and run by a couple of people. If you are in a group larger than 6, call prior to heading out there just to give a heads up. (254) 597 2500

PIE RUN!!

This isn't a good location for a pie run. The resturant is too small to seat that many people. However if you are riding around with a few people, it would be a great place to stop for a bite to eat.

The restaurant only seats up to 32. :eat:

It would have to be a local small pie run. Not sure if that is possible anymore with TWT. :lol2:

No kiddin' they seem to be quite large nowadays..

Ha.. We would have to do it by region. :scratch:
dFW, Centex, Houston, Austin.

Dang, reading that menu makes me hungry. I love good German food! Ah heck, who am I kidding - I just love to eat! :lol2: The prices look very reasonable too. That's definitely a restaurant I'll check out next time I'm in that neck of the woods.

There are quite a few nice roads around there. :thumb:

I spent many weekends exploring the area when I used to garage my bike at my sister's house just north of Bryan. The terrain's not quite as rugged as the Hill Country farther to the south but it's still very pretty, especially during spring.

Heard good things about it but never been there. It is a Bavarian Restaurant. Zur Autobahn is run by people from Hessia, and out of the town of Ruesselsheim (Frankfurt area), which is the home of Opel, the German GM.

Hey Patricia, I had lunch at your mom's place today. The jagerschnitzel was very good and the plum streusel was great! There were only two people there when I got there. They left and two more came in. It was like I was sitting in my friend Ursula's kitchen in Germany.
I got a kick out of watching Connie go about her business humming along with the music.
Great food, great service.
Thanks!
