Came in town for the weekend and found this awesome little gem! I got their daily shrimp special and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint, the shrimp were BIG! We also had chicken fried chicken, mashed potato’s and their French fries! Everything was seasoned well and tasted really good! Will be making it a go to when we come back in town! Great service as well, refills kept coming! Definitely recommend!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our dinner here yesterday evening. The service from our server JOCELYN was top notch. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She was very quick to take our orders for drinks, appetizers, and entrees (but didn’t rush us) and always kept our drinks filled with refills. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant itself is very quaint and cozy. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken fried steak with white gravy and my boyfriend ordered the El Rey burger and we both thoroughly enjoyed them as well as our Cajun-seasoned French fries, mashed potatoes, and onion rings. There are so many great options in the menu it was so hard to choose just one thing. We will 100% be back to try more in the future :) best part is.. it was extremely AFFORABLE. We both ate for a grand total of only $50… very low prices considering the location at the Pearl. I highly recommend to all of my friends & family.

Great little restaurant near the Frost Center in San Antonio. The food was great, service fantastic and ambiance of the 45+ year old restaurant was out this world! If you are visiting the San Antonio downtown area or attending an event at the Frost Center you must try this place.

First time here..So many delicious options we wanted to try everything. Based on other reviews, the fried catfish was recommended and looked delicious. It was a bit greasy for my liking but not bad at all. Next time I’ll try the cajun chicken. The onion rings were tasty and the chicken fried steak was better than others I’ve tried. Not super chewy like some I’ve had in the past. The fried potatoes was seasoned and very good! All employees seemed friendly, attentive, and seemed happy to be there. The vibe was rustic and casual

Shanoa was amazing! She had great recommendations and was super attentive! I love that they had sparkling water on tap! I asked for the Josephines Country Club with fries and mushrooms while my husband asked for Sirloin (rare). The club was great, the steak was perfect and the fries were so fricken good! Parking was validated inside with the server! We had a great time, thank you, Shanoa! ♥︎

First time here and we started off on the wrong foot. We parked outside of the restaurant and the sign there said to scan the QR code. It also said the restaurant validated your parking. We go in and come to find out that you have to fill out an online form giving out a lot of info. Your name, address, bank card,drivers license and license plate of your vehicle. . I didn't feel comfortable doing it. I spoke to the waitress. She informed me that if I didn't fill in the information I would get a bill through the mail charging $30. The parking is only $12. If you eat here, it's free, but they have all your information. I'm not coming back. Expected food to be better, it was okay. I ordered a chicken burger and it was burned on one side. My sister ordered a regular burger and it was too salty. Our waitress was amazing though. I'm not coming back.

Food was phenomenal, atmosphere is homey and welcoming and really fun. Our bartender was totally crushing it, slinging drinks all alone on a busy Saturday night and getting everything out, delicious and quick. The kitchen was awesome and everything we ordered was perfectly cooked. The staff had to deal with a medical emergency while we were there and they were quick, caring, professional, and all around awesome. We loved it here and will be back!
