Guidebook for Fredericksburg
Food Scene
Top notch food and service in a great atmosphere -- whether you dine in or out. Otto's is popular, and does not take reservations, so it is better to go early or late -- or you can hang out next door at Tubby's and have a cold one while you wait out the crowd.

Great spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in the basement of the old hospital on Main Street. Great choice when there is a crowd everywhere else. This place is big, and you can generally get a table. A local institution.

Parks & Nature
You have not really done Fredericksburg until you've climbed Enchanted Rock. We recommend a morning climb, especially when the afternoons get hot -- they are hotter on the Rock.
