Since 2018, Muck & Fuss has been serving chef-inspired gourmet burgers in downtown New Braunfels, creating a lively spot where craft beer meets creative comfort food. 🍔
This couple-owned restaurant specializes in scratch-made burgers featuring bold flavors and fresh ingredients, paired with one of the coldest draft beer selections in town and signature cocktails like their famous Muck-A-Rita.
Owners Terry and Celina Muckenfuss transformed downtown New Braunfels by creating a dog-friendly patio destination that combines excellent food, live music, and genuine Texas hospitality. ✨
How Muck & Fuss won New Braunfels’ hearts
From the beginning, the menu has been crafted with the help of North Carolina chef Kris Fuller, combining fresh, creative ingredients with bold flavors that result in dishes everyone can enjoy.
The restaurant quickly became a local favorite by offering something for every craving – from indulgent Wagyu burgers to lighter salads, gluten-free options, and even a dedicated dog menu. 🐕
Being locally owned and operated means Terry and Celina genuinely care about improving their community, with special taps that directly benefit local non-profits throughout the year.
The couple’s commitment to New Braunfels extends beyond the restaurant – they’ve also revitalized the historic Prince Solms Inn and its basement cocktail bar Sidecar, creating a complete eat-drink-stay destination. 🏛️
Their 26 craft beers are curated specifically for Muck & Fuss taps from both local and national breweries, with the team traveling across Texas to bring brews not typically available in Comal County.
The modern, fun atmosphere creates a welcoming space with plenty of seating, and guests can access drinks while waiting for a table, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Live music in the courtyard featuring local artists adds to the vibrant ambiance, transforming dinner into entertainment and creating memories beyond just a meal. 🎵
The dog-friendly patio makes it the perfect spot to bring your furry friend along, with dedicated menu items for four-legged guests who deserve treats, too. 💛
