Texas 1809

Texas 1809 is a Texas‑German steakhouse, bar and Biergarten tucked into a renovated 100‑year‑old building on the east side of Slaton’s historic downtown square. The original tile ceiling and exposed‑brick industrial accents give the space a rustic yet modern feel, perfect for families, friends and visitors seeking authentic regional flavor. The menu highlights real wood‑fire steaks, hand‑battered chicken fried steak, German schnitzel, and a variety of specialty burgers, wings and sandwiches. Seasonal specials rotate throughout the year, with holiday‑inspired dishes such as BBQ brisket, pork sausage and prime rib appearing on the catering menu. Inside, large‑screen TVs broadcast every major sporting event, while live music, karaoke nights and friendly contests keep the atmosphere lively. The outdoor Biergarten offers cold Texas‑brewed beer and German lagers under string lights, creating a relaxed spot for summer evenings. Kitchen hours run Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 9 pm, Tuesday from 5 pm to 9 pm, and a weekend brunch from 10 am to 1 pm followed by the regular menu until 9 pm; the restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Guests can book tables by phone or follow the latest events on Instagram and Facebook. Texas 1809 also provides full‑service catering for weddings, birthdays, corporate lunches and graduations, with customizable menu options that include fajitas, sausage platters and more. Whether you’re craving a juicy ribeye, a crisp German pretzel or a night of karaoke, Texas 1809 delivers a memorable dining experience rooted in the heritage of Texas and Germany.
