The story behind The Onion...
We truly believe we are a living, breathing restaurant. We never want to be stagnant. We will always use our imagination and creativity to bring our customers exciting new items on our daily Chef's Feature Menu. You could eat here everyday and not ever eat the same thing. Out chefs take a lot of pride and put a lot of effort in the Chef's Feature Menu, so they feel rewarded when you order off our Feature Menu. We have been using 100% cottonseed oil since we opened Five years ago. This commitment to Trans Fat-Free products includes never using Margarine - only real butter and cream. We buy from local purveyors whenever possible because we believe fresh, great ingredients, make great food. We make all of our own dressings and desserts. We do not buy pre-made products here. We are chefs, and we are proud of what we do with food.
We feature local artwork for sale in keeping with our commitment to art and the local community. Please ask if you see a piece you like. The incredible decor here was done by Manuela - she was an incredible artist, a loving wife, and a wonderful mother to our daughter Ashley. She always wanted to open a gallery and I wanted a restaurant. We compromised in opening a restaurant that showcased both our talents. We have truly seen the love and support of our community in so many ways. We could never express how much it has meant to us. New Braunfels and the Hill Country area are truly like no place else and, like our community, we want to be the resturant that is like no place else.
