Welfare Cafe & Goat Barn

Loved the food here. Sad that it closed!

My husband and I were married at the Welfare Cafe on March 16, 2019, and we have to say that this was the most incredible wedding we could have ever hoped for! Gaby, the owner, was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Especially on the day of the wedding, she and her entire staff were so, so accommodating. From helping us plan for possible inclement weather at the last minute to showing our guests a wonderful time throughout the entire reception, we could not have asked for a better outcome. We served the duck breast lollipops and poblano goat au gratin to our guests for cocktail hour, and the Chicken Fredericksburg for dinner. It was a delicious, five star spread and we’re all still trying to get over the fact that we were only able to eat it once! Also, the venue itself is gorgeous, as it’s situated in the Texas hill country and surrounded by historical and natural landmarks alike. (We really didn’t need many decorations because of how awesome the natural backdrop is!) Clearly we love this place and the people who run it, so don’t pass up this beautiful, hidden gem of a venue!

Very neat venue. Beautiful set up and excellent food.

Beautiful venue. Stayed till the very end and enjoyed the music.

We found ourselves a perfect place for dinner. The atmosphere, the service, and the food were superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food as very fresh and delicious. I would call ahead to see if you need to make reservations before going.
