People love Boerne for the small town atmosphere, Hill Country views, and quaint downtown. However, Boerne also has far more to offer visitors and residents alike than many realize! Boerne is known for rich heritage, great location, and an active community, all of which are showcased by local businesses. No need to research, five of the best fun events to attend and businesses to visit in Boerne this week are described below. Hopefully this list will make planning a perfect Texas Hill Country weekend a little easier!

Savor Some Authentic Texas BBQ
For many the name "Texas" is synonymous with good barbecue! Get your Texas fix at Klein Smokehaus: one of the best-rated authentic BBQ joints in Boerne, Texas. The menu includes succulent smoked meats and sausages, hand-cut steaks and chops, exotic game, and oak-smoked bacon to surely satisfy any craving. What sets this smokehouse apart from the rest is the authentic history. German settlers who fell in love with the Hill Country found venison to be the prime meat for a tasty smoked dish, thus becoming a Boerne tradition since 1950. The delicious smoked meats and sausages are made in small batches with fresh products and aromatic smoke from native oak hardwoods. Do yourself (and your taste buds) a favor this weekend, and stop by Klein Smokehaus.
When: Friday 9AM–6PM & Saturday 9AM–3PM
Where: 342 N Main St
