We enjoyed the food here. The waitresses are friendly. The food had lots of choices and was moderately priced. The potato salad is great. more

Ths was our fourth visit to SA and for whatever reason had never made it here. This time we made it and were glad we did. We went for the German specialties, Ruebens and Weinerschnitzel with a plate of sausages and cheese for appetizers. Our waitress was superb and between the food, the atmosphere and the root beer we had... more

Located in a historical building downtown, the wait staff was friendly, and the food was "classic comfort" food, deli style. It was delicious. Beer and wine is available. more

This is an old style German deli restaurant with wooden walls, wooden tables and old neon beer signs.It is authentically retro. My 89 year old father loved the split pea soup, said it was the best he'd ever had. I loved the potato pancakes served with chunky applesauce. They were light, filled with potato, not greasy at all, and absolutely... more

My dad and I had a late lunch at Schilo's over Halloween weekend, and went back for breakfast on Sunday but it is closed on Sundays. This restaurant seems to be one of the few non-chain restaurant options downtown near the Riverwalk. The prices were very reasonable, and this place is definitely a lunch location. My dad and I both... more

Schilo's (pronounced "She-Lows") is a great place to stop for lunch! It is conveniently located in the San Antonio town area, near the Alamo and Rivercenter mall. The sandwiches were very tasty! Skip the side of potato salad for $1.30+ it is so small. If you prefer not to sit in the restaurant, you may order take-out and have a... more

Upon walking you, you can tell they have good food. They had an old school luncheon bar. German draft beers on tap. My husband enjoyed a $4.00 liverwerst sandwich here. I highly recommend picking up a jar (or more, I wish we did) of their hot mustard they make. more

If you are in San Antonio, this is a Great place to go for Breakfast and Lunch. If you are staying at the hotels on the riverwalk, skip their breakfast and go to Schilo's. This place has been in business since 1917 and has a neat charm to it. Also the food is excellent and very inexpensive. They have a... more
