Best Casual Restaurants in San Antonio

Drinks, food and service were on point, as usual. I had the Tuna Tostadas on the appetizer menu as my meal. They were delicious, and the sauce was incredible. My party had a variety of items and everyone was pleased.

We visited Fogo on Christmas Day not sure what to expect. We visit Fogo 2-3 times a year for special celebrations but we have never had such a wonderful experience as we did on Christmas Day! The service was INCREDIBLE, the food service was maybe the fasted we’ve ever experienced, and the table side holiday drink service was such a treat! We plan to make this an annual tradition!

The cuisine is a very high quality Michelin standard. The head maitre d’ was professionally dressed and excellent. The assistant maitre d’ needs to pay attention to dress and hair style. The waiter was very good. We were seated outside. Halfway through dinner service a couple with a very large labradoodle was seated across from us. The odor, pet dander, and whining from the animal almost ruined the dinner. The waiter and maitre d’ quickly reseated us to a quite elegant corner inside. That completely transformed the dining experience. Be cognizant of pet owners and animals allowed in the outside dining area.

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Dean's Steakhouse bar on Christmas Eve! The lively atmosphere was filled with festive spirit, with cheerful decorations and a warm, inviting energy. We indulged in their delicious lunch specials, including a perfectly cooked burger and a refreshing lobster avocado salad. The bar staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. With great food, drinks, and a relaxed holiday vibe, it was the perfect way to kick off our Christmas celebrations. Highly recommend for a casual yet festive dining experience!

We have been to The Boiler House several times. Our visit before this last one want that great. Service was lacking. But, last night you guys nailed. We had excellent service. Our waiter who had several tables did a great job in balancing them all and also the help from other staff members just made the experience that much better. Of course the food was amazing, we had the Squid for an appetizer which was amazing and then the wife and I both had the Elk Chop, which was amazing. The waiter convinced us to try the Bread pudding and wow, 3 for 3. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks for the great and friendly service.
