A Passion for Hill Country Abundance

Our Story

Mesquite at the Warehouse was born inside one of Fredericksburg’s most historic gathering places.

For generations, the Woerner Warehouse served as a hub for local farmers, ranchers, and families—a place where people came together to exchange goods, ideas, stories, and friendship. We believe the best restaurants serve a similar purpose.

Today, our table is inspired by the same Hill Country spirit that shaped this community generations ago. Through our weekly dining experience, A Hill Country Table, and our passion for beef we work alongside local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, orchards, and artisans to create menus that reflect the season and the landscape surrounding us. Every week will have different offerings to showcase something special, in addition to our steakhouse menu. Every ingredient has a story. Every menu is an opportunity to celebrate the abundance of the Texas Hill Country.

While the dishes may change, our philosophy remains the same. We believe hospitality is more than service. It is the feeling of being welcomed. It is gathering around a table with people you care about. It is slowing down long enough to enjoy a meal, a conversation, and the beauty of the place you’re in. Whether you’re visiting Fredericksburg for the weekend or joining us as a regular guest, our hope is simple: That you leave feeling nourished—not only by what was on the plate, but by the experience of sharing a table together.

Welcome to Mesquite. Welcome to A Hill Country Table.

Our Philosophy

In the end, a great meal is not about the food and wine. A great meal is an emotional experience. We try to make it an extraordinary one by establishing a beautiful place, one filled with a staff that cares about it as they do about their home, where we treat one guest at a time. It’s with this approach that we care for you, and you become the central focus of your experience.

Our chefs are meticulous about culinary details, fundamental techniques and a kitchen that delivers the best products from the earth to your table. No detail or element can be less important or more important than another. A great meal is not one that just fills you up. A great meal is a journey that returns you to sources of pleasure you may have forgotten and takes you to places you haven’t been before.

Founder/Executive chef

Hunter Huffman

Hunter Huffman was born just outside of Austin and raised there for the early years of his childhood. After moving to Colorado Springs to to finish junior high and high school, he moved away to travel the world through school, sports, and start his career that he was destined for. Having grown up in a family where travel and food were paramount, it is not surprising that he was attracted to an industry where he has been a consumer all his life.

Hunter was in the kitchen making pasta by age 9, and trying to locate lamb’s tongue for a salad by junior high. Through traveling the world and working in some of the best kitchens in San Fransisco, Denver, London, and Germany as well as running restaurant groups in Denver and Colorado Springs, Hunter and his wife, Amy, decided to fulfill their dream of opening their own restaurant and hospitality group back to Hunter’s roots.
