We unknowingly booked our reservation during their “date on a dime” hours and were amazed by the affordability of the options. We ordered from both the regular menu and the specials and enjoyed everything. The food was very fresh and the staff was outstanding. We’ve already booked to return in two weeks!

Georgetown

About the restaurant

In Georgetown, Texas, we have plenty of customs that we hold close to our hearts. One of those is our food: we like our chicken fried, our tea sweet, and our salad potato, all served with warm smiles and a hearty helping of “y’all.” Like our beautiful town square and sunny, kindhearted residents, it all comes with the territory in the Red Poppy Capital of Texas. Hang your hat, pull up a chair, and enjoy a fresh, home-cooked meal washed down with an icy cold beverage.

About the restaurant

The name really says it all. With 202 beer taps and over 20 house-made sausages we have one of the largest selections in the country. We are equally committed to quality, serving up the most delicious sausages we can make and the best craft beers we can source. In addition to beer and sausage we also operate an onsite smokehouse with a variety of offerings centered on slow smoking and open fire cooking.

At the end of the day, Banger's is all about being a wonderful place to eat, drink and hangout. Not too rowdy, not too laid back, just a good old fashioned good time.
