Did you get any German food while you were in Warburg?

Yes I did. The Mercantile is a unique place. Authentic German food and beer garden.
My Moms full blooded German parents(on the bluebonnet surrounded headstone) took the buggy ride from Weir to Walburg to shop in the Mercantile 100 years ago. Mom tells of the many buggy rides to St Peters church there. Most of my memories of Walburg was that was about the closest place to buy beer while growing up in Georgetown.

I’ve been going there since 1988 when I got back from two and a half years in Germany in the army….

Love that place.

yep Becky told me about going there in high school for beer along with Rattlesnake Inn - also driving out Bootys road (which is now underwater at Lake Georgetown) to have beer parties

I used to ride along to Walburg with my grandpa (prolly in the early '70s) to get sausage. I ate alot of that sausage for breakfast with him.
Good memories.
