San Antonio places to eat?
 

I'm going to San Antonio for some continuing education this weekend. We will be staying near the river walk area. Any good restaurant suggestions?

Durty Nellie's Irish Pub and just drink your dinner.

I always try to eat at Papadeaux when I get back to Texas. It's Cajun fare. They do a reasonably good job of it at a fair price and they are consistent. They should have one in San Antonio.

Here's a blog of someone's culinary journey around San Antonio. http://eatsamore.com/

The Blanco Cafe on St. Mary's is kick-ass mexican food, or it was when I was there 10 years ago. Kind of a must-eat-at for San Antone.

El Milagrito looks good:

Also, anything John Besh does is badass:

I don't think theres a Papadeaux on the Riverwalk? I like Ritas on the River for Mexican and Lone Star cafe for steaks when I'm down there. There's also a new Brazilian steakhouse that's supposed to be good. fogo de Cho. Or something like that? Theres also Dicks if u want some place fun.

Chain restaurants?

No, I don't imagine there would be. They are usually around busy exits on the freeway.

We have a Fogo de Chao up here now. I can't imagine eating at one in San Antonio if he can get it in KC any time he wants.

Just Fogo is a chain I believe.

I agree. If I lived in Texas, there would be half a dozen other cajun restaurants I'd recommend before Papadeaux. But they do a good job of appealing to the masses and they won't serve crap. It's a good, safe choice.

Anyone know about Rosarios?

Heh - they're all chains except Ritas.

Dick's Last Resort is chainville. Papadeaux is everywhere as well. Both good places though, just chainy.

Agreed. Wife can't stand seafood places but she'll go to Papadeaux.
