Best old fashion food in town. You will find freshly made biscuits , the most wonderfull pancakes and root beer for breakfast and many German dishes for lunch.

Fun location in downtown area. Old tin ceiling, great aromas when you enter. Not a huge menu, but the homemade root beer is great. Not the same corned beef as NYC, but not bad for Texas. Servers were a little too busy, but a good experience with typical deli attitude.

My husband and I traveled early April 2013 from Rochester, NY to Texas to visit family Easter week and the two of us made the trip to San Antonio to soak up some local sites and food. While we were obviously under the misconception that while in this glorious city we would be enjoying the Tex-Mex and Steakhouse type of... More
