Normally I'd agree with jack in the crack but the last time I ate there, I got the swine flue later that evening and that was over 2 years ago. I've been scarred since.
Saltgrass Steakhouse.

Born and raised in SA, but it's been years since I've lived there - only a visitor now.
On a recent visit I was happy to see that Shilo's Deli hasn't changed in years. Awesome home-made root beer and split-pea soup in an old SA ambiance. Awesome.
I'm a displaced native too and am ashamed I've never been there.
So did you go to Whataburger?
that's 15$ a meal?
How about Tower of America? I got a salad and it was 10 dollars I remember. There are also a lot of "hole-in-the-wall" places. A place called Vietnam on Broadway is pretty good and inexpensive. There are pictures of David Robinson having eaten there right when you walk in. I would also recommend some place in the Quarry, like J Alexanders or something.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions....
might have been a crappy choice but I ended up going to Dave and Busters... since it's so close to where I'm staying
I will however use this thread as reference for the next couple of days
Meh, the food isn't really bad from Dave and Busters, just overpriced. But that's to be expected. At least it's entertaining there, especially if you have kids with you.
But yeah, you could have gotten better tasting food for cheaper in that area.
We went to Piatti's in the Quarry last month and really enjoyed it.

I've been there..... I think it's overrated..
BigZ is better.
Papa Dante's
When I think San Antonio, D&B just resonates with me.
What's the name of the place with the 3 lb cinnamon roll?
Smoky's
I believe everyone in sa goes around asking for that

Lulu's Bakery & Cafe, I believe. I've never been there, but it was on Diner's, Drive In's & Dives or Man v. Food or some other show I saw.
If you are staying in that area theres a really great Thai restaurant right down the road...Sarika's at Fredericksburg and Medical...
Tried it once. The food tasted like old grease, the place reeked of old grease, the fans looked like they were covered in gray fur, the furniture is falling apart, and the employees don't care to be bothered. But it was definitely cheapLulu's Bakery & Cafe, I believe. I've never been there, but it was on Diner's, Drive In's & Dives or Man v. Food or some other show I saw.
They didn't show that part.
Lulu's is absolutely disgusting. The original Jailhouse Cafe was reasonably good, but after the expansion, divorce, fight over names, locations, splitup, etc. Lulu's is ing TERRIBLE. The ONLY redeeming feature is that 25,000 calorie 5# cinnamon roll (when they remember to bake it till it is done)
Tip Top is better for Chicken Fried Steak than Lulu's at the very least.
It was on Man v. Food. I wrote down all the places, so I could try them out, but I lost the list.Lulu's Bakery & Cafe, I believe. I've never been there, but it was on Diner's, Drive In's & Dives or Man v. Food or some other show I saw.
