    My husband and I ate here for dinner before attending an event at the Majestic. The waiter was attentive and asked if we were attending a show in order to plan delivery of the meal accordingly to the time we had to leave. We shared the cornbread based on reviews we had read, and were very impressed. It was lovely. We shared the Dino rib for 2 which comprised of a large rib, Mac and cheese, and slaw. We also ordered a side of BBQ fries. The Dino rib was a bit salty for me but my husband loved it. Good bark and tender meat. The Mac and cheese was very good, and the slaw was okay. We both enjoyed the fries which were shoestring fries with a bbq seasoning - slightly sweet. Overall, the service was great and food was surprisingly better than expected for a Riverwalk hotel restaurant. We would definitely recommend and will be back for sure.

    I live in the Houston area but when I'm in San Antonio and want something other than Tex Mex, this is my go-to place! The biscuits are my favorite thing on the menu but everything I've had is super tasty! You'll love this place with it's homey feel and eclectic vibe.
