A MUST visit while staying at our cozy cottage. The head chef John Brand is kicking out some very unique and high quality comfort food . If weather permits try to reserve a seat outside on the patio with a view of the river.

As one TripAdvisor reviewer so eloquently stated
This is a unique place, even for San Antonio. Perched along the San Antonio River just across the street from Pearl, it provides a friendly oasis for citizens looking for a place to eddy out for a while. Craft beer lovers will find a good variety of offerings, at prices comparable to the nearby Pearl Establishments. The place would be easy to miss if you were just driving by but is definitely worth a stop, and there is free parking nearby.
Maybe a 5 minute walk from our house it's one of our faves. Great tacos and REASONABLE prices. Sit on the back deck. Right on the River Walk
