The food was good as well as the service from Hugo. Stopped in on a Wednesday around lunch time with a fair amount of customers filling in the place. Our party of 8 was seated quickly. Not a huge menu but enough options for most eaters. Portions were filling. The patio seating is large. No military discount available but they do validate parking for the adjacent lots. I would eat there again. read more

The whole area was busy due to Fiesta but the hostess was welcoming and got us a table for 3 within a reasonable amount. We never even got a call back from another place! We ordered some drinks at the bar while we waited and before we took our 2nd sip, we were seated. The server was great, knowledgeable and accommodating. read more

One of my all time favorite restaurants in San Antonio. The aesthetic, the ambiance, the food, the service, all of the above make this place a must try. It's offers modern American cuisine and drinks to knock your socks off. Down On Grayson offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for Texas weather. If you are dining outside, you're more than welcome to bring your dogs and have them join you. Perfect for a girls lunch, dinner date or out with the family after a long day, you won't be disappointed. I've not had one bad dish or one bad drink. I'll recommend this place until the cows come home, truly, and everyone I've taken has gone back on their own as well! read more

Great place in Historic Pearl! I had the gruper sandwich, brussel sprouts & onion rings. The sandwich was very good with a thick piece of fish. The brussels were ok. I've had better onion rings. The service was very good. Margaritas were ok. I had a Cadillac that seemed a little stingy on the Grand Marnier. Recommended! read more

We dined in here after a stroll into the Quarry and opted for outside seating. The patio is warmly lit and makes for great space for larger parties. Due to a water break in the area, this restaurant was a bit busy and alot of the food items were no longer available. We opted for the Turkey sandwich and fried chicken special. They were pretty average, so not much to rave about. I would love to return to give this restaurant another try with a full menu. read more

This was our first time here and it was a wonderful experience. We came in for lunch on Good Friday. Beautiful restaurant inside and a really neat patio area as well. We were sat immediately even though they looked very busy. Our server was amazing and she told us all the most popular items. My husband had the special, which was an Italian sub with Parmesan fries, my son had chicken tenders and the wedge salad, and I had the Fried Grouper Sandwich with chips. THE CHIPS omg. Best chips I've ever had. The lightest, crispiest chips with the best seasoning....i could've just ordered a bowl of those and been happy. My son said that the tenders were his second favorite ever because of the crispy panko, but his #1 fav are mine. Thank you for a fantastic lunch. read more

It was ok. The 3 hour parking voucher was helpful. had the brussel sprouts (they were so large, it took a knife to cut them. and they weren't crispy in the center. just lightly on the outside) and the guacamole/pimento (guacamole seem to be just mashed avocado without anything else and the pimento was like rice) appetizers. tortilla soup was good as was the Mac and cheese. overall, typical tourist food in the Pearl. 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

I think about this place everyday!! Ambiance is so fun, social and upbeat. Moody and casual upscale dining with friends or a date. I dream about their kale salad!! Service is fantastic. I like to order drinks at the bar because wait times can get really long on weekends since it's popular. Parking along the sides are required pay. Overall 10/10 always! read more

My wife and I hit Down on Grayson for dinner, and the whole experience felt like the restaurant equivalent of a shrug with good lighting. My Wife's Tortilla Soup She ordered the tortilla soup, which arrived looking like it had been through therapy and was finally ready to open up. It smelled great, tasted good, and had enough tortilla strips to build a small raft. She gave it a nod--the universal sign for "I'm fine, but I could've been happier." My Cobb Salad I ordered the Cobb salad, and I've got to hand it to them: the presentation was on point. It looked like the culinary equivalent of a well‑organized Pinterest board. Everything was neatly lined up, like the ingredients had been told to smile for a school photo. But once I started eating, it became clear that while the salad looked ready for prom night, it had the personality of someone who leaves the party at 9 p.m. The bacon was the only one bringing any real energy. The avocado sat there like it was too cool to participate. The blue cheese crumbled dramatically, as if auditioning for a soap opera. Beautiful? Yes. Delicious? Mostly. Life‑altering? Only if you count the moment I realized a salad can catfish you. The Service Service was... present. Not aggressively present, not disappearing‑into‑the‑woods present--just there. Our server checked on us with the enthusiasm of someone who remembered halfway through the shift that they left laundry in the washer at home. Final Thoughts Down on Grayson is the kind of place you go when you want a meal that won't ruin your night but also won't become a core memory. A respectable 3 stars: tasty enough, pleasant enough, and absolutely perfect if your emotional expectations are set to "meh, sure." If you want a dinner that gently pats you on the back instead of sweeping you off your feet, this is your spot. read more

Great customer service and ambience! The food was superb- excellent location for a girls night!

Enjoyable spot to grab a drink and a bite, especially if the weather is nice. Two outdoor seating areas and the bar opens to the outside as well. Not many veggie options for non meat eaters. read more

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

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

We are in from out of town - we met a girl named Juliana who worked here at a different bar and she recommended this place. And WOW was it fantastic!! She immediately recognized us. Her and the bartender Anisia recommended the steak chimichurri and ceaser salad. Both were delish!! Loved the chicken tortilla soup. Even better service 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. We started with the crispy Brussels sprouts. I had the panini and my husband the turkey sandwich. Both were delicious and chips are light and crispy. read more

This place was decent, but the atmosphere was better than the food. I'd suggest coming here for drinks and hanging out in the Biergarten rather than the food. Service was good, nothing crazy. My husband got the Chopped Con, and it sounded good but it felt like we got conned after getting it. It basically looked like a bun-less burger lol. I had the fire roasted chicken that was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. And the Caesar salad was tasty with the cheesy bits on top. I think we were just kinda underwhelming when it came to the flavor. The place from the outside looks like it offers a lot more than what it has on the menu. read more

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

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

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

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

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

This was a convenient stop for us. The atmosphere looked inviting. The service was terrible. There were somewhere between 2-4 bartenders on and it took nearly five minutes to be greeted. None of them were friendly and it was as if they purposely avoided eye contact to avoid having to make drinks or serve food. We just ordered chicken nachos to share, and we ordered quickly because getting their attention was not easy. Nachos were acceptable, I guess. I cannot tell you the last time, before today, that I tipped under 20%. I don't live here so they probably don't care but I wouldn't think of going back. read more

First Of all there food was very good. We had the chicken breast and it was plenty for two people. Here's the thing I really don't understand. We ordered the entree, which came with a salad and a cup of the soup. The waitress asked if I wanted the soup to come out first of which I said yes. They brought the soup out and I wasn't 3 spoons into the soup, they bring out the entree, with the salad. I felt rushed to eat my soup, took one bite of the sald before I started into the chicken to make sure it was still warm. I never understand why restaurants bring a side salad along with the entree. It pretty much ruined the dinning experience. read more

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

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

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
