Day Trip to Kerrville🗿(FULL EPISODE) S11 E3

Kerrville is one of those special Hill Country towns where you can stay with tradition or try something new. Whether your idea of a good time is kicking back with a beer, jumping into a swimming hole or strolling through incredible art, this is your 'ville.
Downtown Kerrville is a great place to start your day. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast at the Hill Country Cafe, which is also the site of the first ever HEB or fueling up with espresso at the fashion-forward, velvet cushioned coffeehouse PAX. Another spot worth checking out is Schreiner Goods, an upscale department store named for the original pioneer Charles Schreiner, Sr., “the Father of the Hill Country.”
In town is the headquarters of Texas’s most beloved jewelry maker. Tour the visitor’s center and store to see how James went from tinkering silver in his garage for nearby church camps to a global phenomenon. The museum also shows the entire manufacturing process from beginning to finished product.
This is Kerrville’s largest art installation, and also one of the largest in the US. It’s a beautiful representation of the life of Jesus, with sculptures depicting various stages of his life and the Bible spread out across the garden, with a 77-ft. tall cross in the middle. It’s a monumental work of art, designed to inspire and encourage, no matter your beliefs.
Out in Ingram, or “West K” to the locals, the Stonehenge II replica invites all who want to walk on the weird side. And to add to the oddity of this artwork are the neighboring Easter Island heads.
Handcrafted beer, gourmet food, weird murals - everything you need for a good time. The beer was brewed with the smooth finish in mind, resulting in a clean and refreshing sip. The food is made locally - with artisan pizza, scratch-made pretzels and pulled pork sandwiches from the local farm.
Grocery Store, Bank, and Local Pub? You got that right! Since 1946, this has been the cornerstone of Hunt, TX - and for good reason. They do all the things you’d expect a country store to do well - chicken fried steak, burgers, etc., plus more! Order the Hot Cruncy Shrimp with Mango Aioli for a shock to your tastebuds!
When the weather gets hot, the locals get slidin’. Right on the Guadalupe River the Ingram Dam is the Hill Country’s greatest (and most natural) waterslide. You can also drive up stream and find a more quite spot to hop in.

Wow! I live in Kerrville and I never knew how great it was!😂 Thanks for showcasing our beautiful little city…And our awesome neighbors.

[@Rose-Rae]

Thank you for showing the empty cross here. I can't wait to go and see it. Also love James Avery jewelry.

[@user-nc2kz2mn5v]

I am in England and I was given a James Avery heart with a cross in the centre from my Goddaughters and have worn it for over 40 years. I get comments about it all the time here in the UK.

[@celestinagalvan3410]

Wow you were in my home town . I'm glad you had fun sir

[@Robbie6603]

Lived in San Antonio for 4yrs and never visited Kerrville. Thanks for sharing this great place.

[@livingstrategically]

We love visiting the Empty Cross in Kerrville every Easter weekend. A great road trip!

[@user-fv5ms4sz8e]

I like how you don't just showcase food, but you also go for the history and today, a business with a shared history and success story. Many thanks for helping us understand how blessed we are to be Texans. Please do me a super huge favor and see if my stone dam is still there under the overpass near Pecos. My dad drove us there for private family outings and when I was 12 years old I built a dam somewhere near Pecos under an overpass highway bridge. That would have been five decades ago and we called it, Willie's Dam. We move to South Texas after I built it and I was just hoping, no one tore it up. Thank you for anything you offer and the great show. Be blessed always 🙏

[@itsaddi101]

I love the cross

[@randysiler7458]

The Cross on the Hill is special place.

[@collinreesejones5525]

Lived there 15 years , LOVED IT!!!

[@michaelmckelvy9165]

That Chicken fried steak looked great 👍👍. Enjoyed the video, Kerrville is a great town.

[@keeandchee]

Sweet! More hill country.

[@shmitt8307]

And here I thought Kerrville was lame I’m a resident and I had no idea it was this cool lol thank u for putting it into perspective I’m glad to live here now

[@RayQ101]

It is lame lol. It’s a boring dump of a town that most regret visiting while going to Fredericksburg.

[@Zyummysammy]

I actually live in Kerrville right now

[@matthewrogers94mr]

Welcome to Kerrville. LOL

[@CryptxExodus]

hey i live there :)

[@ratfink65]

Schreiner University was also Summer Training Camp for the Houston Oilers from 1968~1975! Check it!

[@nickgallegos430]

I’ve driven from El Paso to San Antonio a 100 times and only stopped in Kerville off the I 10 for gas….. never again! Awesome job

[@TheDaytripper]

Awesome. Then I've done my job.

[@ratfink65]

it's EXACTLY 500 miles from Kerrville to El Paso!

[@hwy27west]

Since the 1970’ and the Kerrville Folk Fest, many claim to be “Kerrverts”!

[@pufferfish0567]

It’s not 90 miles from San Antonio, closer to 61 miles.

[@glendacollins2898]

I think 56 from The Rim on I10 West.

[@ratfink65]

65 miles via I-10...57 miles via I-10 to Comfort, then Hwy. 27 thru Center Point...slower, but faster? it's FLAT is why!

[@pufferfish0567]

@@ratfink65 I drive to Boerne every week. From my apartment, near Louis Hayes park, it is nearly 20 minutes faster to go on I-10 vs 27 through Center Point and Comfort. May be flat, but it is slower.

[@rogerfeuge1547]

Born and raised in Kerrville. There is a whole lot about Avery's that wasn't covered. Mainly the designers that were hired for short periods to get their ideas and then fired. The strong arm tactics used in the early days to eliminate competition. They have also moved away from the quality standards they once had to mass production where fair has become the standard.

[@clydekimsey7503]

It's Kerrverts

[@DanielLozano-ch1gt]

Hahah yep

[@glendacollins2898]

[@bobbyogle]

Ok ok I’m in Castroville go to Kerrville all the time but I was born in Small town east Texas named Kirbyville lol people are like kerrville nope kirbyville crazy

[@brentbattin]

I get the opposite. Kirbyville? Nope, Kerrville.

[@michellealexandravillalobo9611]

Hi, my dad has a room for rent in Kerville tx. The apartment has all the services. The room is next to the bathroom. Good size. Very good lighting. Air-conditioning. In fact there is a room inside the gated community with 2 washing machines and 2 clothes dryers. They have cost. The apartment well located. Very calm. It's families that live here. It is close to an HEB (walking I do 6 minutes) Walmart, restaurants, downtown Kerrville, Gas Station, etc. With a car it would be closer to everything. There is a lot of security here. Most are retired from the army and take great care of the city.

[@theeclectic2919]

When I was a little kid (in the 1960s) our family would always go to The Chatterbox Cafe for breakfast. It was small, but the food was great. I supposed it's probably gone now.

[@bangkapihappy8295]

[@bluesguy1977]

This place is going to be a hot destination for the 2024 solar eclipse!

[@chiefkeef74]

Fucking lovely. 😑

[@Moisttowellet44]

The current estimation is an extra 300,000 people.

[@glendacollins2898]

Bracing ourselves already. Expect 200,000 for a week in a town of 24,000 people. All RV and campsites and hotel rooms taken six months ago.

[@pufferfish0567]

I’m dreading it

[@bigwooly8014]

There's airbnb listings between Fredericksburg and Kerrpatch for 20k! It's going to be pure hell.

[@scottsullivan4354]

We used to go down there ,there was a big metal slide on the river

[@luigidipace2362]

I thought I'd never see anything about Kerrville because we're in a small town

[@itsaddi101]

Right

I currently live in Kerrville and although I'm moving back to my hometown of Abilene in a few months, I realize how little I have actually seen of Kerrville. I'm going to visit every place you showed and also the surrounding towns. Thank you so much.

[@kinnybingman8666]

I'm sure they have a good reason for it but at the cross they won't let you have weddings there anymore. I went to a wedding there years ago and it seemed like a really great place to do that but now they won't allow it.

[@Omenthemonker]

If u wanna visit the restaurant that shows it’s called ping and plow

[@jameskuykendall208]

I'm disappointed. We watched this video and decided to take a day trip and when we visited the Hunt Store they didn't have any of the items shown on your video 😢 they said they hadn't had shrimp for quite awhile. When were you there for this video?

[@chheese1z]

Yeah. Chef who invented that left. It was amazing when they had it though.

[@sexytexanbabe4105]

Please don’t do a story about Canyon Lake.

[@michaelbarcelo7007]

Unfortunately this is how our little towns get crowded. Born and raised here in Kerrville and Social Media has caused this place to get so over crowded

[@Judoka512]

@@michaelbarcelo7007 that is an understatement. It used to be a quite ol town… now, it’s packed to the brim
