San Antonio’s Culinary Scene Update: What’s Cooking?

San Antonio is buzzing with new culinary adventures and delightful dining experiences! From scrumptious breakfasts to award-winning barbecue, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a food enthusiast, a casual diner, or just in the mood for a tasty meal, the city has got you covered. Let’s take a closer look at some of the highlights and a few lowlights of the recent reviews floating around!

Breakfast Bliss at Savor

Breakfast lovers, listen up! Savor, located within the Culinary Institute of America at Pearl, is cooking up a storm with an exciting limited-time breakfast menu available from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, until April 16. You can indulge in delightful options like quiche, brioche French toast, and grab-and-go items that include delicious croissants and tarts.

The best part? This fantastic culinary creation is all part of the students’ practical training in the baking and pastry program. Everything you’ll enjoy is made and served by the eager students, all under the watchful eye of their experienced faculty. It’s a wonderful way to taste the future of culinary talent in San Antonio!

Michelin Award-Worthy Barbecue

Big news for local barbecue enthusiasts! Barbecue Station has made it onto the acclaimed Michelin Guide, recognized as one of San Antonio’s recommended restaurants. Owner Stewart Peacock was initially reluctant about the Michelin invite but couldn’t hide his excitement upon receiving this prestigious accolade. If you’re in the mood for some mouthwatering flavors, look out for dishes featuring fatty brisket, pork ribs, sausage, and beef ribs that won’t disappoint!

Signature Dining at Its Best

For those with refined tastes, Signature is serving up a luxurious tasting menu priced at $135. The menu flaunts five full courses, an amuse bouche, an intermezzo, and a selection of petits fours that promise a special treat for your taste buds. Their unique use of nixtamalization in corn for their squid-ink tortillas in the octopus taco is simply a must-try!

Casual Eats and Scenic Views

If you’re in the area, do check out the Esquire Tavern for a fantastic plate of mussels swimming in a rich tomato broth, perfectly paired with a refreshing cocktail while you soak in the view along the River Walk.

Waxy O’Connor’s Irish Pub also deserves a mention for their fish and chips, where perfectly cooked fillets and a well-poured Guinness create a harmonious culinary experience.

Secret Menu Discoveries

For the adventurous types, try exploring Cherrity Bar’s secret menu, which features a spicy pork shoyu ramen that packs some serious heat and amazing flavor!

Some Dishes to Skip

chicken-fried steak at Haywire was criticized for being overly breaded and poorly executed. If you’re in Durty Nelly’s Irish Pub, it may be wise to steer clear of “The Ugly,” their hot dog that left diners feeling disappointed due to its lackluster taste.

A recent visit to Hot Joy revealed a smoked brisket udon that came up short with an underwhelming broth, while the Dog’s Bollocks Nachos at Mad Dogs British Pub were deemed unrecognizable and poorly executed.

Looking Ahead

Hot Joy and the soon-to-be-revealed rankings of River Walk’s culinary gems. So keep your eyes peeled for our next edition and happy munching, San Antonio!
