Came here on a week night with a very large group to say goodbye to a coworker moving out of state. I'll start by saying I love the outdoor ambiance- especially around Christmas with all the festive lights! The servers were also very accommodating to such a large group which is probably uncommon on a week night. I ordered a burger which was just okay. The fries were quite good. I tried some of the other appetizers and was pretty disappointed- especially for the price. I had one drink which was tasty and pretty on par with downtown restaurant cocktail costs! It's a cute place to grab a drink, but I would have been happier with a burger from a favorite San Antonio drive through if you know what I mean. read more

Down On Grayson - My seasonal cocktail & some lights - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great servers behind the bar. Wonderful clean atmosphere and sandwiches are big enough to split between two hungry adults.

I love that they accommodate and are very welcoming to fur babies. We were able to bring our dogs and enjoy a wonderful meal on their pet friendly patio. Although it was hot outside, the amount of fans they have around definitely help with staying cool. It's located near the Pearl, and such a quiet little neighborhood to enjoy a nice walk. Our waitress was helpful and brought out a pitcher of water for not only us, but for our fur babies as well. We went during happy hour and for the "nachos" which was a bit underwhelming. Not what we expected even though it's labeled a small plate... this was indeed small. Tiny to say the least, and I really don't think we will be getting this again. If I can remember correctly, it was less than $10 for this plate, but once again, a little underwhelming for nachos. My husband got the Cheeseburger and a side of fries, which he enjoyed. I got the Fish Tacos, and we shared a side of Mac & Cheese. All were wonderful! Loved the Mac & Cheese! I think my only complaint is that by the time I got my tacos, the tortillas were quite soggy to pick up and it was a bit messy to eat, so I ended up having to use and fork. Nonetheless, still a great place and we will be back! read more

Me and my friend got charged 11 dollars for a lemon drop shot. It said 8 dollars for Tito's and then 3 for the shot. We never asked for a specific vodka. We just asked for the shot. Even so, Tito's is one of the cheapest vodkas on the market. This is unacceptable. I will never go to this restaurant again. Also, the red snapper I ordered always very fishy and salty. Not worth the price. This place is a tourist trap. read more

Excellent tasting food! We ordered the top sirloin, Caesar salad, fish n chips, chicken, corn and strawberry cake! Wonderful service! Clean and decorated beautifully. Highly recommended to anyone!! read more

Service was fine. Food slow to come out and then was burned. Server said that they were having kitchen problems. Would have sent it back but the slow kitchen made us late for a Spurs game. read more

I don't appreciate your lack of awareness of what really happened. You say you seat based on server rotation. If that is truly the case, the man in the back wouldn't need to look across the room to see who we are. I also don't appreciate your trying to put the responsibility of getting a good seat back on us. We will definitely not be going back. read more

Loved it! A group of us went at 5:30 pm and luckily it was easy and quick to be seated, the food was delish, and ambiance was perfect for the occasion. read more

This was our first time coming to this restaurant. We were greeted at the door by a hostess and seated. Our server was really great. He explained everything we needed to know because we told him it was out first time there. Even though the menu doesn't say they do have kids options and they are the following: 1. Chicken tenders and fries 2. Grilled cheese 3. A slider burger with fries We ordered the soup of the day and it was a pretty good portion be I shared it with someone else and we felt pretty good about our half portion. It was really tasty and loaded with flavor. The potato pieces were soft but not mushy 10/10 I highly recommend this soup. Then I got the char king w/bacon which was good... typical burger. I did sub for the Parmesan fries which I thought we ok. The crispy chicken sandwhich had a unique taste to it. It was very good and we added onion rings to it. Those onion rings were amazing. We kind of wished we hadn't gotten the parm fries and got another side of onion rings. The kids tenders were really good. I'm surprised that my kid ate two of them and all the fries. The portion of the kids meal was very generous. The breading on them was really good and the chicken looked like chicken... there are places that it's all breading and the chicken in the inside looks weird. We were very pleased with the service, food, and the location was really nice. They have outdoor and indoor seating and it's very nicely decorated. read more

Ok is simply the best way to describe this spot. What I ordered: FILET: six ounce seasoned tenderloin, served with house salad and french fries ($32) - the salad dressing was the most memorable part of this meal for me, overall it was fine but nothing special. Tip: they do validate parking in the pearl parking lot. read more

Food was great. The JK club was the perfect breakfast dinner combo. The Thai Steak Dinner was saucy, spicy and was a great blend of flavors that wasn't too overwhelming. And the Panini was amazing with fresh turkey and other meat with a really tasty pesto. We had a really kind waitress and food came out really quickly despite it being busy on a Saturday evening. We sat outside but there is shade and was a nice breeze so it felt comfortable. read more

Down On Grayson - Patio, Pet Friendly - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We stopped by there to have dinner and the inside of the restaurant was practically empty. They sat us at our table and we waited about 10-15 minutes and absolutely no one even attempted to take our order or at least get our drink order While there were at least 5 waiters standing there doing absolutely nothing along with one of the MANAGERS just standing there chatting . Worst experience ever, before we walked out I addressed it with the manager and he said he didn't notice us and offered to have someone take our order... ummm a little too late. So needless to say we walked out. worst experience ever read more

Sat at a booth across from the bar with a party of three and waited 18 minutes before having to wave at the hostess who sat us to get someone to take our drink order. There were 4-5 waiters/waitresses standing behind a stand just talking and no one coming to greet us until the hostess I waved at told them we were waiting. For the place not being busy with only Three parties at the booths and one party of Six at the big round table your staff is lazy or inattentive. When asked for a kids cup of water the waitress failed to bring it so when giving our child some water from our own cup it fell and broke. Roasted chicken was good but the waiter/waitresses here are below average. read more

Food was delicious. Environment was super chill. Our waiter was awesome! The waiter suggested the frozen Arnold Palmer. It was perfect on a hot summer day.

This is a cute place with a nice interior and lots of picnic tables outside. We had heard it was really good, but we thought it was just ok. The salad was very bland and the Caesar dressing was so weak the salad just seemed wet. The tortilla soup was good but came in a very small cup, not a bowl. The server was nice and attentive. They offer parking validation but you have to go through a bunch of steps registering online with a credit card just to get the validation. Stamping a parking lot ticket is much easier. Don't think we will be back as $128 was a lot for what we got. read more

We had a great time! We were seated quickly even though we did not have a reservation. The bar drinks were delicious as well as the food.

Best Cuban sandwich in town well everything at this place is great and the service is top tier. I usually sit at the bar and if Karsen is working I stay for one more drink than expected. She has elevated my expectations on bartenders where ever I go. Outgoing, intelligent conversation and makes the perfect old fashion. If you haven't been here go now read more

Absolutely loved this place! Instantly one of my favorite patios in town for outdoor dining. All our sandwiches were delicious especially with a cocktail and side of parm fries. Hugo was the best server we've had in a very long time, I hope they're treating him well because it's obvious he takes pride in his job! read more

We went Saturday to Down on Grayson , it was our first time there. It's nice and roomy on the inside with big screen TV 's. My guess ordered the JK club looked pretty decent and I had the Cobb salad which to me was lacking a lot of flavor. The only thing that I liked about the Cobb salad was the fresh bacon in it and the fresh avocado. The garlic toast was good as well. read more

We were just passing through on Easter Sunday and stopped for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating, tall ceilings, nice furniture, an upscale bar and pleasant ambient music. My husband ordered the soup of day, which happened to be something perfectly suited to his keto diet: Turkey Chili with mushrooms. He found it deliciously flavorful, and not overly salty. Our outstanding server (Hugo) told me it was made fresh more than twice a day. I ordered the panini sandwich and Cole slaw instead of fries. The Cole slaw was delicious but I was a little envious of the yummy looking French fries on the plates of other diners. The sandwich was prepared hot and crispy. It was quite generously sized. My only complaint was it was a bit over-salted. Hugo made our meal wonderful. My husband congratulated me on choosing such an excellent place to eat (and it was just random!) read more

We came to down on Grayson and sat at the bar Victoria with her beautiful energy greeted immediately and made us feel at home. This was my first time here and it's very friendly to pets and kids the atmosphere is energetic and fun and Tori definitely carried the vibes at the bar. We had a blast with her we'll be back soon! read more

Down on grayson is always a fun time when visiting the pearl and dog-friendly. Service is always great and fast. It's so cute inside and they have a cute outdoor seating area as well. They also comp your parking for 3 hours so don't pay until your server gives you the QR code you can scan! My favorite are the shishito peppers app! Unfortunately they were out today so we went with the meatballs, which are also fun and tasty. We also had salads -- caesar salad with crispy chicken and the chicken kale salad with crispy chicken as well! read more

The appetizers were good but I was very disappointed by the entrees here. The steak was unevenly cooked with some parts being medium rare and other parts medium. The burger also lacked flavor but I added the side cole slaw on to the burger which helped to enhance the taste. Good ambience though with an outdoor seating area. read more

Pleasant and upscale place with very good food and service at reasonable prices. Apparently popular for workday business lunches as it was jammed and very busy when I was there Tuesday lunchtime last week. Too noisy for me though. Places with reflective acoustics that amplify conversations into a cacophony, as at Down on Grayson greatly diminish my enjoyment. I'd come back for the good food, prices and service - but only at a time that its not busy. read more

If you don't want to feel rushed and uncomfortable, don't come after 9pm. Restaurant closes at 10, but upon arriving at 9:15, bartenders we're closing the bar, no host to greet us (host stand was shut down) had to seat ourselves and get our own menus. Servers were sweeping and refilling salt and pepper shakers ONE HOUR BEFORE CLOSING! Obviously, horrible, uninvolved management team. Sad... read more

Tsk tsk tsk. What to say about you Grayson? I definitely went down on that burger you gave me. The only reason I couldn't give you 5 stars is because the service was appalling. The vibes of this place was giving very much Caucasian millennial. If you love great food & bad service here's the spot for you. read more

We came here on a Friday around 12 pm and were able to get a table right away. One of my coworkers and I both ordered the salmon salad, and my other coworker ordered the wedge. All of them were great! We also shared the parmesan fries and the cheesecake to wrap up. Everything was so good, no complaints. Our waiter was super nice as well. And they validate parking! Can't wait to go back to try more from their menu. read more

Wow! Not sure how I have never been here before! Ambience is lovely inside and nice courtyard. Great bourbon selection and other liquors! Was very happy to see menu had gluten free options on it. I got Cuban sandwich on gluten free bun that was awesome! Bun didn't fall apart and was very tasty. Husband had roasted chicken and it maybe the best we have ever had. Waitress said they sell out daily and can absolutely see why! Highly recommend the restaurant!! read more

going forward if I do not have time to sit down and enjoy my meal there, I will never do a to-go order again. when I placed my order and paid for it i was told I can pick it up at the bar. They were very busy, which I understand but I was a paying customer who paid in for my food inadvance but yet they ignore you and continue to wait on other people while I'm standing there then once I told them a second time they continue to help other people then finally retrieve my food. Then when I looked in the container, my food looked like it had just been thrown together. it was too busy to complain.I always ordered the same, so I know exactly how it was supposed to look. I love the restaurant and love their food, but to-go orders and the process sucks. Also, when I asked her to validate my parking, she definitely seemed to have an attitude and threw it on the bar. read more

While the atmosphere and service were excellent, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to the quality and flavor of the food. Most of the dishes lacked seasoning and depth. The grouper was well-seasoned and enjoyable, but the mac and cheese was particularly underwhelming--reminiscent of basic boxed versions with no noticeable seasoning. The parmesan fries, while flavorful, were soggy and lacked the expected crispiness. The chips and guacamole were also a letdown, missing key ingredients like onion and tomato, making the dish feel incomplete and hastily prepared. Additionally, the pricing felt excessive given the quality of the food. For example, $4 for a 355ml Mexican Coke seems unreasonable. Unfortunately, the food did not justify the high prices, making for an overall disappointing visit. Also don't get the "fresh lemonade" it's minute made basically service was good tho read more

While out and about today with a fellow Yelper friend of mine today, we were out to attend a going away luncheon for a fellow colleague. I arrived and looked for a parking spot. Almost all surrounding lots are paid parking, so that is dumb. This has been one big turnoff for me, and is the reason I never come to the Pearl. The whole uppety bougie atmosphere is dumb. I digress.... Friends alerted us to some free two hour parking, so I parked and went to toward the restaurant. There was a wait inside, so we grabbed a table outside. We all were given menus and drink orders were taken. We perused the menu and made our selections. There were a lot of delicious looking items on the menu. There were a lot of things I wanted to try, but with this being lunch, I opted for something more aligned with lunch and not dinner. There were also a lot of expensive items on the menu, and other things were more dinner priced than lunch. I might come back and try a dinner item next time. Jack, our waiter, took our orders and went back to put it in. For me, the crispy chicken sandwich with no lettuce or slaw, and upgrade to onion rings instead of fries. We all sat and waited for the food. While we waited, I conversed with my friend Sam (the fellow Yelper) . Sam writes great reviews, and it puzzles me why Yelp has problems making her Elite (do you hear me Yelp?). After some good conversations and fellowship with my colleagues, our food arrived in good time. Every plate brought to the table looked delicious. Sam caught me admiring her plate, so she offered me a small piece of her Rueben, which I gladly accepted. Gave it a try and it was delicious. My plate looked delicious. Upon further review, my sandwich was messed up, and contained the items I did not ask for. I debated sending it back, but decided just to scrape what I didn't order off. Overall, my dish was tasty. The chicken was crispy, as promised, and the thin onion rings were perfectly crispy. My sandwich had remnants of tomato and slaw, so this ruined a perfect score for my dish. Not sure if Jack just did not care to write down my request, or if the kitchen messed it up. Overall, considering the service and the food, I would say it was a great experience. I would return here if I was in the area. I will not go out of my way to get here, as this place is pricey. If you are in the area, give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy! read more
