bartender elizabeth and Zane were amazing! it was a holdiay weekend and they showed me so much patience and were very professional

Joe deserves a shoutout. We were a table of 6 (3 adults and 3 kids), and I'm fully aware we were THAT table. We asked for a million extra things, had constant drink refills, and seemed to remember something else every time Joe walked by. Not once did he seem annoyed. He was friendly, patient, and somehow always one step ahead of us--our drinks never sat empty, and he made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask. Good food brings you in, but great service is what makes you come back. Joe made our lunch so much more enjoyable. Thanks for putting up with our chaos! read more

I was in San Antonio for business and found this place about a mile from the hotel downtown.... After a short Lyft ride because we didn't know what we would be walking through.... We made it. We were seated outside, they had fans with misters and trees.... It was super awesome and a great atmosphere!! I got the steak medallions chimichurri..... with grilled asparagus and onion rings.... It was fantastic!!! Our waitress was super friendly and provided great recommendations..... I would definitely eat here again! This is located in the pearl district which was also fun to walk around for a little bit. Oh... and the carrot cake was delicious. It came out warm... which was new for me. Normally I am a chilled carrot cake kinda guy.... But none the less it was fantastic! read more

My friends and I enjoyed our lunch at Down on Grayson! All the staff members were very kind and patient with our large group. The restaurant inside was clean and had a fresh ambiance. The crispy chicken sandwich was a flavor bomb! Chicken was crispy (not greasy) as promised, however, I would've liked it to be meatier. Mac and cheese was ooey-gooey and comforting. We had the best time here! Definitely would come again to try the thai steak salad or another fun dish on the menu! read more

We took grad pics in the area and walked over to this restaurant. The vibe was pretty eclectic and that's probably because there were multiple grad parties dining both inside and out. We were seated quickly. Service was great as my friend's steak had to be sent back a couple of times due to temperature...... it was fixed without hassle! Manager brought it out and allowed her to cut it to ensure it was to her liking. We were composited with strawberry cake and myyyyy goodness that cake is a show stopper!! Moist! Full of flavor! Can serve 2-3 people I had fish tacos. When I revived my order my initial reaction was oh no corn tortillas! I don't think that was disclosed on menu BUT I was pleasantly surprised the tortillas weren't tough or chewy. Very flavorful too. Our party enjoyed our experience read more

Down on Grayson is always a favorite to go to! Whether it's for lunch, pregame-ing or even dinner they always have good drink specials and amazing food. My visit this past week was for lunch and the visit was exceptional. We were seated outside for immediate seating. They had plenty of fans with misters going and lots of shade to help facilitate the afternoon breeze. Service was extremely fast and we received our food maybe 15-20mins after we placed our orders. Unfortunately, no military discount offered but with one drink and one salad the cost was around $40 after tip. My Cobb salad was the perfect portion size (just enough to feel full but not feel like I've overeaten) with just enough dressing to where it wasn't sopping. Fresh lettuce and veggies to follow with two pieces of fresh bread. Absolutely delicious!!! I've been coming here for years so it's safe to say that I will definitely return! read more

My #1 pregnancy craving was the wedge salad from Down on Grayson. Is the lettuce simply a vehicle for the dressing and toppings? 100%, but my gosh, the whole thing is delicious. It's a huge salad and I eat the whole thing every time. I'm always the last one to finish their meal when I get this because I'm stuffing the whole plate into my mouth. The blue cheese dressing is incredible with lots of nice chunks of cheese. Beyond the wedge salad, we always have very good service here with attentive waitstaff and quick turnaround times for drinks and food. read more

Came here with a group of friends on a busy Saturday morning and did not have to wait very long for a table (less than 5 mins). My friend asked for a latte without sugar or sweetener and was given a sweetened latte, they said they always add sweetener? He didn't drink it. My chopped Caesar salad was really good!! Chicken was seasoned amazingly and my friends loved the portion sizes of their sandwiches and fries and the taste. Cute interior and lots of outdoor seating as well near the farmers market. Overall: decent place for brunch in SA read more

Was very excited to try this place for hr first time. The outside is very nice and well decorated and with shades and fans throughout the patio. Place looks nice and fancy on the outside side and inside. While searing outside waiting for our number to be buzzed, while waiting under a tree (shade), I got pooped on by a bird! Our number was called and walked in and we walked inside to a line of people waiting to be assigned to their seats. People were going around the line to the hostess without waiting in line like the others. Very unorganized way to greet and seat people. We ordered fried chicken and anticucho with a couple of mojitos. First the anticucho meat came cold, as it didn't event get reheated or for that fact, cooked fresh! Had to re-take the plate back due to the meat being cold. Not even two minutes passed and we had the plate back. Meat was microwave hot and everything else was still cold. But, we decided not to waste time and just ate what we had ordered. Alcohol drinks were good but they overfill the small glasses with lots of ice! Over all, closed to $100 for fried chicken, chunk of small cutting steak w/hard to chew nerves. Very disappointing experience! Check other places to enjoy your hard earned money and not here. read more

A good mix of bar, tabletops and patio space. On a good day I recommend the patio or the open window at the bar. I love Happy Hour at Grayson ... had a glass of wine, guacamole and chips, and meatballs with garlic bread ... $24 with tax and tip. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM. Specials include half-off all appetizers, $5 frozen cocktails, $6 draft beer and well drinks, $6 select wines, and $8 spicy margaritas, making it a prime spot for drinks on their popular patio. The guacamole is part of a duo with pimento cheese. The guacamole is not spicy but has an amazing, fresh taste. The meatballs had lots of garlic, herb robust sauce. If you are coming for a dinner or lunch, I recommend the thai steak salad or Ceasars salad with chicken. The service is always helpful and efficient. read more

Down on Grayson is a cool spot. The vibe seems to be trendy for the area. They offer a few TVs in the bar area of you're looking to post up for a bite to eat and a little something to eat. It's a small menu that features sandwiches and salads but does offer entrees such as steak and chicken dishes. For the items that are offered on the menu; they all seem basic but yet are pricey. They have some of the best onion rings and roasted Brussels sprouts that I've had in SATX Service was pretty good for what seemed to be a busy evening. read more

Thursday game night, it was as packed but service was very slow. My friend ordered the Brussels sprouts but I think they confused them with burnt brussel sprouts, she asked them to remake them and i think they just went to back tossed them and brought out the same burnt brussel sprouts. I got the chimichurri steak and it was okay, a bit chewy. The waiter was very nice and polite and did her best. read more

This establishment really has lots of potential. Not food wise the food is lovely, but staff wise. The staff here is not very welcoming as what someone would want it to be for visiting citizens. BUT if you are able to make sure that every time, ASK FOR MIA! She is a delight to be around, she has a very nice energy that makes you feel like you want to be happy aswell, she's charismatic, and she smiles as soon as she greets you! She is able to connect with you like not a lot of people can, having a conversation, trying to make you feel comfortable and joyful at the same time. Moving on to our next topic, the food. The food is what you would expect it to be, it's not as much as "I gotta get it" more so "this is a nice plate of food". Next topic- Setting They have indoor and outdoor seating options. The outside is dog friendly which might be a turn away for some people who are more cautious around dogs. The inside is a bit chilly but not unbearable. We did not try to sit outside because of this Texas heat in the summer. Outdoor seating would be nice in the evening tho or at night with a breeze. Now a word from my peers- (question asked "how would you describe your experience today?") answer 1- Good, very good, waiter was very nice, fast cooking, everything was freshly made, nachos were delicious. Answer 2- I would describe my experience as a 9.5/10. Answer 3- i would say my experience as delightful. Nice and relaxing, enjoyed my food. Now let's get to everyone's least favorite part of the review- the cons. The only con I have about this place is staff greeting. The people who greet you do not seem happy to be there. They don't greet you with a smile and even tried to sit us in the back deliberately when they passed up two tables that could sit four people which was the exact number of people we had. This is what brings this down to a three star and not a four or five. Service is truly the key component of a good establishment. If you are being treated badly then you won't be able to enjoy your food, but Mia treated us with a smile on her face the whole time. We were able to enjoy the food pleasantly. This with all the other components added brings this up to a 4star experience! MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS ASK FOR MIA!!!!!! read more

What a great experience Caitlin our server was great We had an outdoor table. It was so nice for a change to be at a casual formal restaurant where the music wasnt too loud to even chat. It was perfect. Cozy calm music ...and such a calm outdoor setting The food was really good too. The only complaint we had is that the bun on the fish sandwich was not good. Carrot cake and the prickly pear nojito was so good Another good thing is they validate your parking which is a great thing at the pearl district read more

I'm sorry to say something has changed. We went back and ordered the fish tacos. Not the same. Not nearly as good. First time 10/10 second time 4/10. We asked the server, did they change the recipe? She went and checked and they said no. Well I can tell you they did. Such a disappointment. There are other things on the menu I like, but not hubby. We tried two other times. Thinking maybe it was an off day. He's done. I love the strawberry cake and the coconut cake also. read more

Haven't eaten yet so don't use this for a food review. The hostess was very disrespectful and I felt I had to step in to defend our party. We waited in line, when she came back from sitting at table, she tried to tell us that a woman who arrived after us was first. When we disagreed we got all attitude. Then when it was about 35 min of waiting I asked a different hostess an estimate on how much longer. It's very busy so I totally understand that we have to wait, I was just asking to see if I should get another glass of wine or not. The one that was rude, looked at me, then turned her back to me and then started talking to the hostess I was speaking to. I'm not vain enough to think she was talking about me but the fact that she snapped that there are no tables yet right after is not a coincidence. The attitude of the front is not a good look for this place and I am saddened because the people I am with say that the food will be worth it. Hopefully you are lucky and not get the hostess here on Saturday and 1:30pm. read more

Nice to sit outside in March, but i door tables available. Comfy lighting and tables. Good music. Attentive staff. Not too loud to talk, but loud enough to bring the kids. Parking lot in front.

We came in on a super busy Tuesday night. I guess everyone is off for the holidays this week. The wait was a cool 45 minutes, but open seating at the bar, so we were able to be seated immediately. The bar was also super busy, but the bar staff was patient and friendly. We ordered the spicy blackberry limeade, margaritas, the double dip, and parmesan garlic fries. The drinks were on point, tasty and well made. My limeade was perfectly tart and the margarita was potent but tasty. The double dip is my favorite. Pimiento cheese and guacamole served with tortilla chips. Who knew that pimento cheese and tortilla chips was the pairing I needed. Both dips were well seasoned and delicious. The fries are a generous pile of matchstick style topped with garlic and parm. If you try to eat one at a time, you'll be there all night. The fries are also great. Had I not forgotten my phone, you would have seen pictures, but alas! I was going 90s style. read more

My wife and I visited for dinner on Saturday the 3rd of January. We ordered the shishito peppers which were delicious, as always. The entrees were what fell short. My wife got the six ounce filet. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, but it certainly wasn't a filet with all the fat and gristle it had in it. I ordered the anticuchos medium rare. A couple of the pieces of the kebabs were medium rare, but most were medium well and very tough. Not sure what they marinated it in but it was way too acidic. The tortilla chips that came with it weren't bad, but they didn't look like they belonged on the plate. They were just kind of there. Our waiter, whose name I won't mention, didn't seem like he was on his A game at all. We had to ask three times for a cocktail straw and watched him walk by the bar a number of times without grabbing it. Just one example. He still got 20% because he wasn't terrible. Overall, pretty disappointing, with the exception of the peppers, the old fashion, and the whiskey sour. read more

Their 3rd party Toast app failed to push our reservation through so we had to wait for a table, the hostess' all had a bad attitude and gave me a dirty look. While waiting, the bar tender also had a bad attitude, it seemed like it was a bother that we asked for drinks. Our waiter took care of us but also didn't have the best vibes either. Overall, not a great experience and probably won't go back for a while. If you want good service and nice vibes, I wouldn't go here! read more

One of the best places for outdoor dining in San Antonio! We came on a sunny & hot evening with our pup and we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the patio was. There was plenty of shade, misters, and it was so clean and well-manicured. We started with the parmesan fries which were such a treat. For my entree, I ordered the Caesar salad with crispy chicken. It was fresh and delicious, and the Parmesan crisp was an elevated alternative to croutons. I ordered an aperol spritz to drink and it was made perfectly. Definitely recommend! read more

Pre show, we met some friends here for dinner. Parking lot was located directly across the restaurant and with validation, three hours are free! They had lovely outdoor table seating, but with a storm coming in, we sat at a table indoors. The Pearl is within walking distance. Our server was fabulous. Craving for a salad, I ordered their salmon salad. Very disappointed. The salmon was cooked to perfection, but the salad was drenched in dressing and soggy! I ate it, but didn't enjoy it. I didn't have to time to notify and see if another one could be made. It also seemed to lack some of the ingredients listed on the menu. Pls make sure to place dressing on the side. On the other hand, hubby ordered their Sunday special - fried chicken/homemade potato chips, biscuit, and jalapeños. Good portion and delicious . Their cinnamon bourbon sour was yummy! I would totally recommend. The mocktail prickly pear nojito was meh Beautiful seating and decor and I enjoyed the vibe. Great service , but would not recommend the salmon salad. Not worth it read more

Nice bar by the pearl, but pricy for what you get. We ordered the beer and margaritas for our drinks. This place is busy on weekends.

The place was clean, dim lit, and aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed the vibe. I always enjoy mocktails being on menus and I was excited to try the strawberry basil smash and it was delicious! The panini was good, although not my preferred cup of tea but I can tell it was a good mix of flavors. We also had Brussels sprouts (not pictured) that were delicious! My friend had the frozen Rita and it wasn't her favorite. Overall I would try this place again. read more

We ate here a couple of times. Food is ok but their appetizers and drinks are very good. Slightly pricey and sometimes you have to ask if what the server is suggesting is an add on or included.

Love this place! The atmosphere is casual but nice enough to bring a date or even a family/friend gathering, or just for drinks! We sat outside and the patio area is nice and large. The Parmesan Skinny Fries are definitely a staple here and are too good, almost addictive! I ordered the Chopped Con and the cheese was so good with the guacamole and salsa and the angus beef was good, cooked perfect to my liking. The strawberry cake .... DELICIOUS!!!

Our server was Chloe, she was great! Very personable and hospitable. Definitely one of the best and affordable places near The Pearl!

DOWNON GRAYSON is a great spot, especially with the cozy atmosphere right now for the Holiday season--the fire tables throughout the patio and the trees lit up with Christmas lights are a vibe The food was solid overall. The chicken tenders stood out--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly battered. The tortilla soup was tasty, well-seasoned broth. The nachos were a bit underwhelming, but nothing that would ruin the experience. What really makes this place shine is the staff.
