Showdown is a restaurant and bar located in an old building with a long history. The interior features discolored walls and a mix of furniture from the 1960s to 1980s, giving it a unique character. The staff are friendly and the customers are a mix of old locals, regulars, veterans, and blue collar workers. The bar has tankards hanging for regulars and a loud jukebox.
The kitchen is smaller and can be slow, but the food is highly praised. The menu includes top-notch pub items such as tacos and burgers, including the spicy Border War burger and delicious breakfast tacos. They also offer excellent vegetarian options, although there are no vegan dishes since everything is cooked on the same flat top.
Showdown is well-known for its Bloody Marys and cold beer. It is recommended for those seeking a good drink, burger, and kind people. It is a kid-friendly place, and many families bring their children to eat, play pinball, and visit with friends. The restaurant is accessible for wheelchairs, with only stairs leading to the second floor and many older veterans frequenting the establishment.
Previous visitors have enjoyed the Half Pound Burger, Quesadillas, and Taco Plate. The restaurant has been praised by college students and recommended by locals, such as those from San Marcos Furniture Outlet. The staff and atmosphere have been positively reviewed, making Showdown a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
