Excellent service. The fish tacos were excellent. The grilled Brussels sprouts were delicious. Very nice atmosphere l

The bartenders here were great! They were so fast and attentive, checking in to be sure I got everything. I was a little disappointed with the food I ordered. Since it was a Sunday I tried the fried chicken plate and subbed out fries for a side salad. I would not recommend doing this, it's a super simple salad and there's an up charge. The chicken was pretty simple flavor wise as well. I'll stick with fries next time and maybe try one of the sandwiches which I saw at other tables and they looked good. I had started off with the avocado toast and coffee - the toast is a hugeeeee portion! Definitely good to share. read more

Absolutely! Vibe, Food, Service, and it's all happening on the outskirts of the Pearl District in San Antonio, Texas. My friend had wanted to go here for awhile so after perusing the Pearl district we came back to, Down on Grayson. We put our name on the list and waited at the lovely bar til our table was ready. We ordered some Shiner Bock beer and an order of delicious onion rings, oh those onion rings are fine, light, crunchy and plenty to share between the 3 of us. Seated to my right I see a fellow diner meal, it's a nice chunk of iceberg lettuce, smothered with tomato, blue cheese dressing, bacon and chicken. I know what I'm ordering. Our name is called and our table is ready. We leave the cool bar area to a vast outdoor seating area. We sit, and my friends order the Char King burger and Chicken Kale salad. I ordered the Classic Wedge(description, up above) Yummy, lite, but whom I kidding, blue cheese, bacon, Yes! Very satisfying, my only small, small so small complaint is they chop the chicken in child bite size. I'd like it in adult size chunks. But it is still fabulous. The staff was great, the bartenders can lighten up a bit, when your behind the bar you got our attention, so shine. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but she forgot to bring my friend her ketchup and it was hard to get her attention. So I'd have the wait staff make a better mental note to check on customers a couple times or just bring that stuff out on a tray if people order Burgers, condiments are kinda a no brainer. read more

After walking around the Alamo and the riverwalk, I wanted something to hit the spot. Our usual sandwich spot was already closed for the day so we decided to try something new. We came here during dinner time on a Sunday and was seated right away. There's a patio seating option that's dog friendly. We opted for indoor seating which there were plenty of. I ordered the cuban sandwich with shoestring fries. You can upgrade it to parmesan fries for an additional $3. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. Exactly what I needed. I did get a chance to have a bite of their French Dip Sandwich and boy that was probably the best French dip sandwich I've ever had. Highly recommend! For parking, there is a big lot next to the restaurant that you can park at. It'll ask for you to fill out your payment info online but you get a validation code after you eat with a discount so parking will essentially be free. read more

Down On Grayson - Cuban Sandwich - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Talk about bad service, how about no service. Everyone including the manager were just hanging out, talking and having a great time while we waited for over 15 minutes. They probably had more important things to do that serve their tables. No wonder the place was empty! read more

I try to love this place. Service is always the issue. Slow, rude, unresponsive mgmt, waited for 20 min at a half full bar to get a drink and place a to go order, read more

I sat at the bar on this visit and the service was really good. I've been wanting to try their Fish and Chips, it's their special on Fridays. There are two huge pieces of cod served on a huge plate of fries. Unless you are incredibly hungry, two people could easily share this plate. The fish was fried perfectly and it was really flaky. The fries are always perfect. Would I order it again? Not unless I had someone to share it with. The ambiance is always great here. It would be a nice place to bring a date. read more

Another great experience at down on Grayson. Stopped in for some drinks and some lighter meals to snack on. The staff was very nice and super courteous. Specifically I wanted the anticuchos. Never had them. go try them. So good. Great date night so check em out. read more

Had dinner at Down on Grayson for first time. Very positive overall experience! Why? 1. Parking right next door (under the highway) and they validate for 3 hours! 2. Ample seating indoors and outdoors. We sat outdoors. Rather warm, of course, because it's summer in San Antonio. But lots of shade from trees and air movement from fans along with the natural breeze. 3. Service was outstanding. Very attentive and relaxed. 4. Prices were decent. Good value for the money. 5. Food quantities were generous. 6. Food flavors were superb. Fish tacos, for example, were tasty and a bit unusual (in a very good way). Same with the brussels sprouts appetizer. 7. Though it's a Saturday evening, they did not try to rush us out of there. 8. Lots of people do parties here, sitting outside where there is ample space. Looks great for birthdays, graduations, etc. I will gladly come here again when I'm in San Antonio. read more

Amazing service! I will say the mac and cheese was so good I highly recommend buying that! However, was not a huge fan of the sliders because of the lack of seasoning. Did not have much taste tbh. But overall amazing service and quality drinks as well! Nice patio area too. read more

Another good group experience outside in the well-shaded, (fan-supported) breezy, and gravel-ly back area. The Brussels sprouts are always a hit, and the pimento cheese and guacamole were really good with their fresh-made chips. I went for the Thai steak salad again. It was almost as good as I remember with a nice spicy kick. The service was friendly and quick. Great place to go with friends! read more

It all works, and always has. We have been fans of Down on Grayson for years. There is nothing particularly elevated about the food, the decor or the service, but it all works together for an excellent dining experience each time we go. To say that the food is not "elevated" doesn't mean that it is not excellent. We always get the shishitoi peppers, the Brussel sprouts, the kale salad, the fish tacos and the Strawberry cake. No matter how often we get these items, we never get tired of them. They keep us coming back. Yesterday the weather was perfect for outdoor dining, and the place was packed. Even so, the service was fast and friendly, as always. (The attention we got yesterday regarding one preparation error more than made up for the mistake.) We will definitely keep coming back to this reliably enjoyable dining experience. read more

BLUF: A fabulous restaurant near downtown with validated parking, delicious food, and a fun, relaxing ambiance. The wait staff, bar staff, and hosts were very attentive, and we were never without a full cup or condiments. My wife and I went here after her and some girlfriends tried it out last fall. I was immediately pleased with the parking situation, which was right next to the restaurant. The parking is paid; however, you are validated by the restaurant, which makes the cost zero! Also, the parking app was easy to use and worked seamlessly with the validation bar code provided by the staff. We ordered the garlic Parmesan fries appetizer, which was cooked to perfection and topped with just enough graded Parmesan to keep you going back for more. My wife had the fish tacos, which I didn't try, but she was happy with. I got the French dip, which was the best one I've ever had. The roast beef was fresh, cooked at about medium rare, and garnished with Swiss and onions (optional). Wow, I've been thinking about this sandwich for days. I ordered onion rings for a side dish and was just as pleased. The onion rings were shoestring and served in a small round dish. They were also cooked to perfection, not overly salted, and slightly sweet from the type of onion. Now, dessert is my jam, but most times, I'd instead get something to eat at home and enjoy it on the couch like an actual glutinous pig. However, the food was so good I decided to get the coconut cake. WOW! It was so good. Down on Grayson is my new favorite restaurant. Lots of options for seating. Inside, outside by the fire, at the bar while waiting for your table. They have it all. read more

The food is amazing. I had the peppers for a starter-delicious! We also ordered the onion rings and brussel sprouts. The O-rings were perfectly-crispy, not greasy or soggy. The brussel sprouts were meh . The NY steak was ok definitely not their best item compared to my family's choices, fish tacos, chicken Caesar salad and chicken wedge salad. The best items in the menu are the strawberry cake and the coconut cake. I wish I lived locally so I could visit regularly to just eat the coconut cake. The cream cheese frosting and the coconut flakes!! Yum yum in the tum. The service was fantastic. We sat inside which was nice but the outside seating looked fantastic. My choice was to sit outside but I was overruled by my aunts. read more

Decided to stop here for a quick lunch as I had been reading the rave reviews on this place! It was worth the stop. Grabbed a cold brew and had this massive BLT sandwich packed with flavor! The phone reception is hit or miss but I enjoyed the great service and the clean environment! read more

What a fantastic experience! I wish I had snapped some photos of the appetizers and the other dishes my family ordered, but the food was so irresistibly delicious that we dove right in without a second thought! We started with perfectly seasoned meatballs and crispy fried onion rings that had the ideal crunch. The fried snapper was cooked to perfection, accompanied by fresh coleslaw that added a nice tang. The house salad, topped with a mouthwatering dressing, was the perfect complement to our meal. Every bite was an absolute delight! Our server started off just okay, but he really grew on us as the evening went on. The ambiance of the restaurant is upbeat and inviting, making it a great spot for a fun night out with friends or family. Just a heads-up--the volume is a bit loud, so it's not the place for quiet conversation, but it's perfect if you're in the mood for an energetic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

It was easy to find parking, when you do the pay parking, you need to validate it with the waiter then they give you a qr code that you scan Also word of advice, this is not a seat yourself place, they will seat you.

Great brunch spot! Brussels sprouts are amazing! We shared the skewers that were so flavorful! Service was on the spot! He helped us navigate to some amazing parings and selections! Inside dining was so comforting but we will surely try patio next time! A couple of apps and a bottle of wine in our near future here! read more

The ambiance was really chill. We sat outside, and the bathrooms were clean the inside of the restaurant had a weird smell. The service was okay we ordered Anticuchosa a kabob with beef bell peppers and onion. This was absolutely the worst thing I've ever ate. The meat was so sour it was hard to eat I choked on the bell pepper because I didn't know that they were pickled tasted like a best made pickle. Ther server said the kabobs are marinated in red wine vinegar. I also ordered tortilla soup it was so gross tasted like watered down chili, and the spring onions were like biting into raw onions. The fries were good. This business thrives based on location we paid, but left our plates full and walked down to a Brazilian food truck to eat dinner. read more

The Chicken sandwich was good. Only complaint was that there were a lot of gnats near the bar and landing on the cocktail shakers and shot glasses. We asked to move further down the bar because of it. Glad I didn't order a cocktail. read more

The food was AMAZING and our server Nicole was super sweet and had a dump truck kinda reminds me of hooters well done ladies

Quiet ambiance with fans and misters outdoors. Great service and everything was delicious. Pimento cheese and guacamole as well as the Brussels appetizers were yummy. The salad was a nice blend of greens, pecans, and noodles with a spicy chili oil dressing. The fish tacos were also a hit. read more

Trinity was our server and bartender. She was great and the food was wonderful. We'll definitely be going back.

I met a friend here for lunch last weekend and I am still craving their Brussels sprouts. Everything we had was delicious, from the appetizer to the dessert. The brussel sprouts came with a great spicy mayo. I had the chicken tortilla soup and a house salad. The vinaigrette on the salad was delicious. The soup also had lots of toppings which I had never had before on this kind of soup but it was delicious. The cheesecake was also great. On top of that our waiter was attentive and kind. The place was also gorgeous with inside and outside seating. Outside seating was a long wait but I look forward to coming back and sitting outside. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant which includes the atmosphere, food, flavours and service! We walked from downtown San Antonio (1.6 miles) just to try this restaurant and it was worth every step!! Would definitely recommend to check it out if you're near the Pearl District in San Antonio. We ordered the Panini and Chopped Con. read more

We stopped in on a rainy Thursday evening while in the area. It was rather slow at the restaurant, likely due to the weather, so we were seated immediately, waited on quickly and informed of the Happy Hour specials. My wife went with a Thai steak salad and I had the cheeseburger. Both were very good. The appetizer of friend onion rings were hot and crispy although the batter is a bit heavier than what I would prefer but still very good. I've never had to review a paper towel machine in the bathroom before, but their's is the kind you wave your hand under and it rolls out a bit of paper for you. I've never had a machine give out a paper towel the size of a sheet of toilet paper before. It took about 5 pieces before I was able to get enough to dry my hands. Very strange for a more upscale place. read more

I ordered the fish tacos! The seasoning was really good. The tortillas are not strong at all and the tacos ended up soggy when we got them but I still ate it all with utensils because it was good! The steak and fries was tasty and they cooked it at the perfect medium temp. The drinks are always the best! I get the Paloma everytime. We have brought our child here both times in her stroller. They are very accommodating read more

The steak and chimichurri was perfect. All the portions were huge. Our server was so kind and constantly checked in with us.

Finally was able to get into this place after always seeing how packed it it!! It was a great first time experience. Drinks were amazing and all the food was amazing as well. I'd recommend sharing plates if you're in a group larger than 2, that's pretty much what the 6 of us did and there were no regrets. The Parmesan fries are A MUST. Service was exceptional from hostess to server. Cannot wait to come back & try more menu items out! read more

Down On Grayson is hands down the most "ok" restaurant I have ever tackled on Yelp. Having been more times than I can count, I am never particularly blown away by anything, nor am I overtly put off by anything either. Sure, you have to pay for parking, but you can get that validated by your server. Yes, the prices are high, but you are in a great location. The drinks are good, but the food is only so-so. Looking for some great photos for Instagram? This is the place to do it, but expect a wait. This place is as in the middle of the road metaphorically as it is physically! Long story short, if you want a place to hang around for a couple of hours, Grayson is worth your time. If you just want a quick bite to eat, explore the plenty of options in the surrounding area! read more

This place was the absolute worst. My experience as follows: - Waited an hour to be seated, party of 4. Yet plenty of tables were open. - It took server nearly 15 minutes to give us an initial greeting/take our drink order. - Husband ordered a drink and never got it. - I ordered a "cup" of soup which the server told me I could get in lieu of a bowl. I got a bowl of soup instead. The soup was luke warm at best. - I ordered a sandwich and the order was never placed to the kitchen. Everyone else at the table got their food. - Sandwich order was placed and I was told it would take 2-3 minutes. It took 30. By the time I got my food everyone at the table was done with theirs. - Our server asked us, as she was cleaning the table next to us if we were ready to pay (check and credit card were on the table) and we said yes. She proceeded to finish cleaning the table and walk away. We did not see her for another 15 minutes wherein my husband got up and went inside to ask who we pay since we were waiting so long. - We were never offered a comp on the check; instead it wasn't until my husband complained that the manager took the sandwich off the bill. - Between waiting for a table and the lack of service this entire experience took about 2 1/2 hours. - I opted to get my food to go since I was already aggravated at this point. I also live an hour out so by the time I got home my food was nice and cold. Service was nonexistent and food was subpar for what they charge. This was my first and also my last time eating here. read more

We had dinner for my daughters birthday and we just picked a place we saw while walking around the Pearl. This is not a kid friendly place. They did have high chairs but I definitely did not feel comfortable or welcomed with my 1 and 3 year old. You can tell when staff look at you when you are welcomed and when you are not. The salad I had was pretty good - the fries were cold and hard ( app for my babies ) and with my husbands plate. vibe is great for adults and drinks outside but it was sweltering hot that day. Probably wont go back but i recommend it for ladies who lunch, 100! read more

Down on Grayson is perfect for a summer outing solo or with friends. The atmosphere was casual but the menu felt a bit higher end(the perfect combo). I just came in for a quick drink and the bartender was so sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. I am a whiskey girl and decided to order the Cinnamon Bourbon Sour which was like Christmas in a cup. It tasted so good and two of those will have you feeling amazing. I can't wait to come back and try the menu. I definitely recommend this spot. read more

Good service, food and drinks! When we arrived we were asked if we'd prefer sparkling or still water. We said "still water, nothing fancy." Crazy we got charged for waters.

Nice spot to check out near the Pearl District in San Antonio. We stopped in to meet up with some friends. Open seating at the bar, or seated by the hostess for the remainder of the restaurant. Parking is metered and can be validated by the restaurant. The double dip appetizer had chips, guac and pimento cheese. Very interesting take, but I really enjoyed the combination of the 2 dips. We ordered the chimichurri steak (comes with 2 sides: salad and onion rings) and cheeseburger and fries. The fries were a little lackluster for me, but weren't the worst. Their chimichurri was a different spin than I anticipated, more watery sauce than oil based; but still pretty good. Preferably chimichurri oil based for the steak, or should have put it on the side of the steak, so it wasn't all over the steak. My burger had a great chargrill flavor to it, but one critique would be that it's missing onions. Otherwise it was a solid cheeseburger. My prickly pear nojito was a nice cocktail and had a great pucker. read more

The sandwiches are larger than expected. The slice of bread is larger than a normal loaf. The Reuben sandwich was stuffed full of meat and about five dollars cheaper than Vegas. $17 vs $22 it could have had more kraut and sauce. However, the Thai steak salad I felt was overpriced for the amount of steak it had. it was delicious but at almost $30 for a salad? My aunt got a fresh tasting veggie sandwich with cucumber purple onion feta tomato and avocado . Coleslaw was delicious and crispy fresh and not soggy. The brussels sprouts appetizer was very burnt. The sprouts themselves were the size of plums, which is larger than expected. And they were burnt like six layers in. Crispy burnt to the point where the outer leaves were powdered char. The strawberry shortcake cake was $17 but it's six layers so it's like three servings of cake. Delicious and flavorful but no real strawberries in the layers or on top. All in all, nice atmosphere and OK food but nothing craveable that tells me I have to come back and order that...seems like the restaurant caters to tourists and transplants and not locals and the price shows it. read more
