10 Best Southern Restaurants in San Antonio

“We don't live in San Antonio and discovered Clementine on a trip there a few years ago. It was an instant hit with us then. Now we return whenever we can when we're back in town. This visit was excellent. We went with the "Feed Me" option which we tried the first time as well. All of the food was very creative and tasty. The White Mushroom Salad and pasta dish with rabbit were our favorites this time around. Can't wait until our next trip to San Antonio and our next visit.“

“Had the loveliest evening here! The ambiance was welcoming and relaxing, perfect for a solo date in San Antonio. The band that performed this evening was delightful and exceeded expectations in terms of the energy they brought to the place. During the performance I enjoyed some fried calamari that was paired with a delicious tangy sauce. The drink I ordered contained tequila, mezcal, and absinthe which I have never seen before on a menu locally! Shoutout to Andrew and Chris for their service and hospitality, as well as everyone behind the bar who works together diligently and cooperatively to ensure all guests are happy and well taken care of!“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between laid-back and refined from atmosphere, drinks, and food.
Our bartender, KD, was genuinely impressive — inventive without being over-the-top, and every drink was smooth, balanced, and downright delicious. You can tell there’s real skill behind the bar.
Adding to the charm was a solo guitarist providing the perfect soundtrack to the evening. It elevated the entire experience without overpowering conversation.
I’ve had my fair share of pimento dips, but this one? Easily the best I’ve ever tasted. Creamy, smoky, with just the right kick — absolutely addictive.
An ideal spot for a relaxed night out with quality drinks, excellent big and small plates, and ambiance that makes you want to linger.“

“Meadow is one of my favorite places on earth. The food is fresh and brilliant! They experiment with amazing new flavor combinations and breathe new life into traditional dishes as well. Their bar is as innovative as the kitchen, and if you want advice on the cocktails or extensive wine list, just ask because the staff... The STAFF!!!! ohh they will make you feel like you are at home (well... if you like your home. If you don't like your home you will like this place better). Truly a hidden gem“
