Acadiana Cafe


Cajun cookin' at its best
1289 Southwest Loop 410
San Antonio, TX 78227
United States
+1 210 674 0019
http://www.acadianacafe.com/?
For authentic Cajun cookin', this is the place to go in San Antonio. Located on the far west side of the city, the huge restaurant plays host to hordes of locals craving authentic Cajun cuisine, seafood and catfish. As this is definitely a family restaurant, you can expect child- and parent-friendly touches such as lids and straws for milk glasses, a plentiful supply of saltines to munch on, and crayons as a diversion. Housed in what resembles a massive two-story cedar house, the restaurant boasts a large porch and a cavernous interior. The quick and friendly service more than compensates for a table setting that leaves something to be desired (vinyl cloths, heavy wooden chairs and tables balanced on sugar packets for stability). Cajun specialties such as red beans and rice, gumbo and jambalaya abound, and all are wonderfully prepared. Should you crave seafood, any of the shrimp entrees can't be beat. For fish lovers, be sure to try the famous catfish. Side dishes include expected choices such as coleslaw, potato salad, hush puppies and basic vegetables.

Alsatian Chalet Restaurant


International cuisine
1651 Hwy 90 West
San Antonio, TX 78009
United States
+1 830 931 9655
Dine while eating in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The Alsatian offers an excellent earth-and-sea platter consisting of filet mignon, fried catfish and breaded shrimp. Not in the mood for steak? Try the Popeye The Sailor's Plate, a platter of fried catfish, fried shrimp and fries. If you are looking for something from the grill, then you may want to try the Texas-size T-Bone or the Tex-Mex combo, a rib eye served with two enchiladas.

Barn Door Restaurant


Don't let the name fool you
8400 North New Braunfels Ave
San Antonio, TX 78209
United States
+1 210 824 0116
http://www.sawhost.com/barndoor
The hokey name and checkered plastic tablecloths belie the mouthwatering (and pricey) steaks, chicken and seafood at this San Antonio institution. The Barn Door runs its own butcher shop, and every aged cut is tender and juicy. This steakhouse is huge and its atmosphere is casual, with pictures of horses and cowboys telling the story of old Texas. It's equally suited to a business lunch, a first date or a family night out. If you find yourself waiting for a table on the weekend, wander into the bar and check out the horse racing memorabilia. At lunch, try a tenderloin sandwich or a chicken-fried rib eye steak. At dinner, the six-ounce Lady's Filet and the 14-ounce Gentlemen's Ribeye is most tempting. The restaurant also serves a great selection of seafood, chicken, chicken livers, pork chops and quail. If you're dining with a good friend, pour some extra-garlicky Green Goddess dressing on your salad.

Hop a trolley from the River Walk for something different at this brewpub. The huge copper brewing tanks here figure prominently and a sizable patio offers a view of the tranquil end of the River. Along with the variety of beers, it offers standard fare such as burgers and chicken wings, as well as a few surprises including Sautéed Chicken and Artichokes and Grilled Salmon. Try a four-ounce sample of the Smoked Dark Ale or the creamy Stout for only USD1. Note that the kitchen stops serving food at 10pm during the week and at midnight on weekends.

Bolo's Rotisserie Grille


Country cuisine in the city
9821 Colonnade Blvd
Omni Hotel
San Antonio, TX 78230
United States
+1 210 699 5864
Looking for wild game, then look to Bolo's, located in the Omni Hotel. It offers a diverse menu. From the rotisserie, you will find free-range chicken with potato gratin and mushroom sauce, Long Island duck served with wild rice. The herb-rubbed pork loin with brandied apples and French onion risotto is always a favorite. If steaks are more to your liking, then try the bone-in strip steak with an ancho chili sauce and potato gratin or maybe the center-cut filet mignon with garlic butter and vegetable ratatouille. The restaurant also serves breakfast and lunch.

Steaks, seafood and Southwestern specialties from deep in the "haute" of Texas. Located on San Antonio's famous River Walk, Boudro's is often the restaurant for spotting visiting celebrities. Don't miss the fresh Guacamole (made tableside), the Prickly Pear Margaritas or the blackened Prime Rib. And be sure to dine with friends so you can order one of every dessert to share. Boudro's is a favorite among locals and tourists alike and books quickly. Dining is available indoors, riverside, and on river barges with advance reservations. Handicapped access is available through a street-level elevator.

Calcutta Coffee House


Coffee, cats and chai
7920 Fredericksburg Rd
(behind Grill on the Hill restaurant)
San Antonio, TX 78229
United States
+1 210 692 9600
What it lacks in friendly service, Calcutta makes up for in atmosphere. Hidden behind the Grill on the Hill restaurant in the Medical Center, this unassuming house-turned-coffeehouse welcomes everyone from poets and artists to students and business executives. If this place were any more laid back, it would fall over. Surreal paintings with a religious motif clutter the walls inside, and a couple of fat cats claim squatter's rights on the quaintly mismatched chairs and tables. Espresso, cappuccino, latte and the now-popular chai are served day and night along with breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're not one for java, several bottled beers are also available.

In a small, tastefully decorated space, tucked way behind a collection of shops, lies a restaurant. It has an extensive wine list, an inspired menu and the best chocolate cake in the city. After you finish dinner and dessert, wander next door to Cappycino's for a cocktail or a cup of liqueur-infused coffee. With rough stone walls, wooden floors and a sizable outdoor patio, the environment is just right for an elegant evening.Enjoy the perfectly grilled tenderloin, succulent chicken or fresh fish over candlelight.

Chris Madrid's Nachos and Burgers


A San Antonio favorite
1900 Blanco
San Antonio, TX 78212
United States
+1 210 735 3552
This burger joint on the city's near-Northside has been cranking out burgers for 23 years. Some people may think that a burger is a burger, but they probably haven't been to Chris Madrid's. A consistent winner of various critics' polls over the years, the restaurant won the 2006 local newspaper's Best Burger award.Like a lot of local burger places, this spot is decidedly low-tech and high-taste. The Cheddar CZ is its signature meal, but you might want to try the devastatingly good bean burger, too. Add an order of fries and a cold beer, and you are in hamburger heaven.

County Line Smokehouse & Grill


True Texas barbecue on the River Walk
111 West Crockett
San Antonio, TX 78205
United States
+1 210 229 1941
http://countyline.com/
This is the kind of barbecue you dream about. The County Line serves up a variety of tender meat, slow-cooked for 18 hours, that literally falls off of the bone and melts in your mouth. Located on the River Walk, this restaurant not only offers a spectacular view, but also affords downtown visitors an opportunity to enjoy the "state meal" without venturing far from their hotels. Not a beef eater? Don't despair; the barbecue chicken, turkey, pork and sausage are equally tasty. All entrees come served with generous portions of sides, including classic potato salad, beans and coleslaw. For dessert, be sure to try one of the fruit cobblers. A full bar is available, but real Texans drink ice cold beer with their barbecue.

A great steakhouse at a moderate price, this is the idea behind Cowcatchers Steaks. In a turn of the century setting, the kitchen offers only Certified Angus rib eye steaks, taken from an open mesquite fire directly to your table. Cowcatchers features three massive dining rooms, available for private parties. And for those of you tired of waiting outside in the cold (or heat) with a pager? Garrett's Watering Hole, attached to the main restaurant, is available for your party to wait in style, complete with a full bar and entertainment.

Crabby Jacks


Seafood, spirits and song
16084 San Pedro Ave
(between Brookhollow and Thousand Oaks)
San Antonio, TX 78232
United States
+1 210 496 3386
Crabby Jacks is a popular place with the happy-hour crowd, the dinner crowd and the late-night crowd, and it succeeds in catering to all three. With its weather-beaten wood and tank of live lobsters, this bar/restaurant looks like it belongs on a beach more than it does fronting a strip center. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, accented with red lights and lots of beer gear. Pull up a stool at one of the three large bars or grab a booth for drinks and dinner. The menu is laden with seafood items including steamed, fried and broiled selections of fish, crab, shrimp, lobster and oysters. If you don't like shellfish, you can choose from several beef, chicken and pasta entrées. Live singers are featured every night; a DJ takes care of the tunes on Sunday nights before the live performances get started.

A Raucous Time on the River Walk
406 Navarro
San Antonio, TX 78205
United States
+1 210 224 0026
http://www.dickslastresort.com
This is by far one of the rowdiest restaurants on the River Walk, so diners can expect loud music, great food, cold beer and steely attitudes from the waitstaff. Do not take your in-laws or your children; unless, of course, they can swig a longneck and crack crab legs with the best of 'em. The food here is good and has a definite Cajun flavor. All entrees either arrive in a bucket (crawfish and crab legs) or on top of butcher paper (hamburgers, ribs, chicken). It's messy, but fun. The crowd tends to get a little crazier the later it gets, as the restaurant gradually morphs into a full-fledged bar with live music every night.

Energetic and fun, EZ's serves thick burgers, truly delicious shakes, fresh salads, and pizza that is made to order and baked in a wood-fueled oven. The curly fries and chicken strips are favorites among the kids. The decor is colorful and modern, with the oven and grill dominating the center of the restaurant. Table seating comes in the form of comfortable booths, while bar seating lets you watch the staff make pizzas and blend shakes from Blue Bell ice cream. The vibrant, cheerful atmosphere makes the juicy old fashioned burgers taste even better. Beer and wine are offered on tap.

This restaurant offers casual family dining at reasonable prices and is a favorite among the locals. For that down-home cooking—the kind your mother used to make—you must try the fried chicken, pot roast or fried catfish dinners. For dessert, try a slice of the triple-layer German chocolate or coconut cake. If it's pie you want, the coconut cream pie is quite tempting.

Unfortunately stuck in a strip mall, the Fox and Hound offers a casual but upscale English pub atmosphere, with a few minor adjustments. Watch a sporting event while enjoying tasty food and choosing from a wide selection of beers and ales from around the world. Hunting scenes (foxes and hounds, not guns and deer, thank you) decorate the richly colored walls, while 33 large-screen TV's broadcast sporting events and music videos. Game rooms flank the main room and bar and feature "civilized" entertainment such as billiards, darts and shuffleboard. The kitchen is open all day and serves up generous portions of (non-English) food such as Grand Champion Wings, Philadelphia Chicken Sandwich and Hawaiian Pizza. The service leaves a little to be desired, but overall, you are likely to have a good time.

A resort as elegant as the Westin La Cantera would be expected to offer a restaurant as lovely. Mark Miller, Santa Fe's chef extraordinaire, designed the menu, which has received continual raves since the restaurant's opening. Try the Shrimp Corncakes or the Gazpacho before diving into to perfectly prepared steak and seafood entrees. The wine list is as impressive as the service. The only thing better is the panoramic view of the Hill Country, a true crowning touch. Francesca's is popular with locals as well as resort guests, so reservations are highly recommended.

A good place to get some great food, Grady's skips the frills and concentrates on serving tender, juicy barbecue instead. Popular for business meals or family dining, Grady's has personal-size meals and family (or larger) size orders. The brisket will melt in your mouth as the barbeque sauce runs down your chin and the fresh potato salad will remind you of picnics in the park. The beans have a robust, cowboy-style flavor. They are a great pick to go with the hot, spicy sausage.

Rudy's is housed in what resembles an old country store and the rows of picnic tables inside and out of the restaurant are filled with diners almost any time of day. After dining, wander through the general store to stock up on snacks. You can even fill up your gas tank outside.

Big business, big celebrities and big money pass through these doors every night. It is not unusual to see local moguls, San Antonio Spurs' players and socialites holding court over elaborate meals. The perfectly broiled-to-order prime steaks, fresh seafood and impeccable service make this a popular place for special occasions, client dinners and other celebrations. In addition to a wonderful meal, enjoy a full bar, an extensive wine list and a well-stocked humidor. Semi-private dining areas are available.

Silo Elevated Cuisine


Contemporary dining in an unexpected setting

If a somewhat cramped restaurant above what was once a high-end produce and grocery market does not sound like your cup of tea, you are going to miss out. Silo offers delicious entrees such as sea bass and tenderloin, as well as a well-studied wine list and desserts you cannot pass up, all in a stylish setting. This place is popular with the locals, so reservations are recommended, particularly for dinner. A bar is now open in the space below.

StoneWerks Caffe & Bar


Restaurant by day, bar by night
7300 Jones Maltsberger Road
(near the Alamo Quarry Market)
San Antonio, TX 78209
United States
+1 210 828 3508

The décor here is something between a rustic ranch house and a polished hacienda. The interior is fairly standard, with booths and tables, but the wrought-iron tables that dot the patio add a comfortable charm. Strategically placed heaters keep the patio warm and wonderful year-round. A full bar serves several draft and bottled beers as well as a good selection of wine. If you are hungry, drop in for lunch or an early dinner. Start with the divine artichoke dip and then dig in to the pecan breaded chicken. Note that the kitchen stops serving food two hours before closing time.

Texas Land & Cattle Steak House


A lesson in Texan
9911 IH-10 West
San Antonio, TX 78216
United States
+1 210 699 8744
http://www.texaslandandcattle.com
Texas Land and Cattle is a lesson in Texan. Jeans-clad food servers waltz across the dining room floor. Branding irons, horseshoes (oriented upwards, of course, so the luck does not run out), cowboy boots and chaps decorate the walls. And everything is big, including the booths, the longhorns and the food portions. After an 18-ounce Texas T-Bone, a 16-ounce Cattleman's Ribeye or a 9-ounce Trail Boss Filet, you will be talkin' Texan in no time. If red meat does not strike your fancy, try the spicy Mesquite-Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad or the TXLC Salmon Steak.

Texas Land & Cattle Steak House


Great steaks on the River Walk
201 North Saint Mary's
(in the Drury Hotel)
San Antonio, TX 78205
United States

http://www.texaslandandcattle.com
This Texas steakhouse, with its mesquite-grilled steaks, chicken and shrimp, has quickly become a favorite among San Antonio's business and leisure diners. John Wayne would have felt right at home here in this large but cozy steakhouse, reminiscent of a modern-day ranch house. While you're waiting to be seated, grab a handful of peanuts and start munching. Don't worry about the empty shells, though; that's what the floor is there for. A full bar and hearty wine list complement the beef-oriented menu. Start off with a cup of steak soup and then cut into a 16-ounce TXLC Smoked Sirloin, an 18-ounce Texas T-bone or Steak Mexicano and Shrimp Diablo.

The Golden Star Cafe


Late-night Chinese and American just west of downtown
821 W Commerce St
San Antonio, TX 78207
United States
+1 210 223 1681
It used to be San Antonio's only all-night Chinese food place, but now the Golden Star closes after the late-night club people go home. Located just west of downtown, it serves Asian food and some American dishes, too. The restaurant is a revamped diner with large red dragons along the walls, a combination that gives it an Asian-American feel. Try the almond chicken, served with an excellent sauce made of a thin, soy gravy, or go for the beef and broccoli, which comes with the steamed broccoli served on the side and is not covered in sauce like it is at many places.

This casually upscale seafood restaurant got its start in Corpus Christi, but is right at home in trendy Alamo Heights.
