Walburg? Walburg?! I know Walburg! I went to Southwestern University in Georgetown as did my parents before me and their parents before them. We know Walburg. We also knew Joe's down the street where my parents would take me in what then passed as a car seat and set me on the pool table under a Budweiser light. My mom can still recite the little spiel on the label. And will. Without provocation.
It's really a cruel twist of fate that I put off going to Walburg Restaurant and Biergarten until after I found out I was pregnant. What's the saying? "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink"? Luckily, the friend I went with was so drunk on schnitzel that she didn't realize my weak reason for not drinking was just a red herring.
Unless you know your Bayerische Semmelklosse from your Bauernfrühstück, you'd do right by having the buffet on the weekends. It's really good and you get to try several things. If you already know your rouladen from a hole in the ground, you can order off the menu as it has a few different offerings than the buffet. The night we went they were so busy, our server warned us that ordering off the menu would take a while. Buffet, it is! And honestly, it was good and I'd go back for it.
We sat in the biergarten for a while listening to the band and watching people polka (Not really. Or maybe they were. Heck, I don't know.). Damn you "alcohol may cause birth defects"! I really wanted a beer. There really is something not quite right about not being able to drink in a biergarten. Then it's just a garten. And where's the fun in that?
But do grab the fam and head on out. Make a day of it! You could go to Inner Space Cavern in the heat of the afternoon, do a quick tour of old cemeteries and churches or cult movie locations and head to the Walburg Mercantile (as we always called it) for dinner.
And have a beer for me. Hell, have two.
