Best Vietnamese Food in Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg, Texas — updated August 21, 2026
Three Vietnamese kitchens worth a drive, ranked by how settled their ratings are, plus a note on why a steakhouse got cut from this list.
Listings verified
Fredericksburg, Texas is a Hill Country town better known for schnitzel and barbecue than for pho, and the research behind this guide turned up no dedicated Vietnamese kitchen inside the city limits. What it did turn up: two long-running Vietnamese restaurants in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and one San Antonio pho house about an hour and a half east on US-290. All three are listed here with their locations stated plainly, ranked by how much evidence sits behind the rating.
1. Pho Saigon
The strongest rating of the three, and it holds up under volume: 4.7 across 931 reviews is a settled number, not a small-sample fluke. This one is in Fredericksburg, Virginia, not the Texas town, so plan accordingly. The schedule is the thing to check before driving over: closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 8pm, and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. The kitchen stops taking dine-in and carry-out orders 30 minutes before closing, which makes a 7:30pm Saturday arrival a bad idea and a 6:15pm Sunday arrival fine.
2. Heavenly Pho Vietnamese Cuisine
The only Texas entry here, at 19178 Blanco Rd in north San Antonio, and the closest option to Fredericksburg, Texas that this research surfaced. The 4.4 rating comes from more than 1,000 reviews, so it is a well-tested average rather than a promising early one. Reviewers point to beef pho, bun bo hue and grilled pork, and the menu runs long, crossing into Chinese and Thai dishes alongside the Vietnamese core. Spring rolls turn up repeatedly in write-ups. Closed Tuesdays; open 11am to 9pm most days and until 10pm Friday and Saturday.
3. South Vietnam House
Third here because the rating is the weakest of the group: 3.8 from 387 reviews, enough volume that the score is unlikely to move much. It sits at 1623 Carl D Silver Pkwy in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on the commercial strip rather than downtown, and the restaurant's own site lists hours of 11am to 8:30pm across the days it names, which makes it the most reliably open of the Virginia pair. Yelp notes a revised menu. Worth knowing about if Pho Saigon's Monday and Tuesday closures leave you stuck.
What we left off
Jack's Chophouse at 505 W Main St in Fredericksburg, Texas appeared in the source list for this guide and carries an excellent record, 4.9 from more than 3,100 reviews. It is a steakhouse, though, with a menu running to bread baskets, spaghetti pomodoro and New York cheesecake, and nothing Vietnamese about it. A guide to Vietnamese food should not send you to a chophouse, so it comes off the list. No chains or closed businesses were removed.
