The River Walk in San Antonio is a master illusionist. It presents itself as a parade of "fine dining" establishments--linen here, candle there--many of which, once seated, quietly confess they are just restaurants in costume. Four Brothers, however, is not pretending. It is genuinely beautiful, restrained, elegant without being smug, and staffed by servers who seem to understand hospitality as a calling rather than a shift. I visited on a Friday night, the river humming with its usual mix of tourists, locals, and second-date nerves. There was live local music, which--bless its heart--landed somewhere between Top 20 countdown radio and its slightly more confused cousin. It wasn't offensive, just repetitive, like a song you didn't ask for looping in the background of an otherwise excellent evening. Now, Four Brothers is known for its steaks. This is spoken of in the way people speak of legends. I believe them. But on this particular night, I was not in a steak mood. I was in a "just give me a damn burger" mood--an emotional state many of us know well. Before that, cornbread arrived in the shape of Texas. It was good, respectable, politely sweet, but did not sing freedom, independence, or Willie Nelson. It simply said, "Hello, I am cornbread," and sat down. Then came the burger. Reader, I am not exaggerating. This was the best burger I have ever eaten. Not one of the best. Not "top five." The best. Ever tasted. Ever experienced. Ever met. This burger is not ostentatious. It is not trying to impress you with truffle foam, unnecessary aioli, or a manifesto about itself. It is smoky, perfectly balanced, deeply satisfying, and almost unsettling in how complete it feels. The bun is healthy without being preachy. The beef--topped with beef, as God and good sense intended--tastes sacred. I know it isn't, but it feels like it was blessed quietly in the kitchen before being sent out. Every bite was majestic. Not flashy. Not loud. Just confident. Like it knew it had already won. What makes this even more impressive is the setting. Four Brothers could easily lean into formality and forget joy. Instead, it delivers elegance with warmth, fine dining without the eye-roll, and a menu that allows for both grandeur and simplicity. That kind of balance is rare--especially on the River Walk. So yes, go for the steak if that's your path. But if you find yourself tired, hungry, and craving something honest in a place that promises polish, order the burger. It may quietly change your understanding of what a hamburger--and a restaurant--can be. Four Brothers isn't pretending. And sometimes, the most profound thing on the table comes between two buns. read more

This food is so delicious I've been staying at the mansion so I can order room service from this restaurant. I've ordered the chicken and biscuits 4 times! And each time it's so yummy. I had the Caesar salad and added the fried chicken from the biscuit dish inside the restaurant and it was just as tasty. Ambiance is typical riverwalk style. read more

My first visit to Four Brothers was for restaurant week. I enjoyed the food they offered for the three course menu. The restaurant is in a beautiful hotel so I expected the restaurant area to be more updated but it is a vintage Spanish style space that does convey with the hotel. The service was good as well. It was a good meal overall and a nice experience. read more

We saw the breakfast menu on a trip down the Riverwalk and decided to come back for breakfast. My wife had the Shrimp & Grits, I had the Brisket Benedict. The flavors of both were excellent. Our server, Magda, was very genuine. Our meals came out from the kitchen looking fabulous and tasted just as great. We really enjoyed our meal. read more

Came in for brunch New Year's Day. My honey's plate and my kiddos pancakes were absolutely fantastic. My brisket and poached eggs were not the move. Best thing on my plate was the biscuits. The jalapeño is my fault I was expecting pickled jalapeños and got a large semi cooked extremely spicy jalapeno. I would come back for dinner or to try something else on the brunch menu. read more

Once again, this place did not disappoint. We came for dinner prior to a show at the Majestic Theater. Luckily, it also happened to fall during Restaurant Week. The menu at Four Brothers had two options for each course so my daughter and I ordered one of each which allowed us to try each other's meals. I absolutely loved my Beet Salad and I got to enjoy some of my daughter's Chicken Fried Venison. My key lime crème brûlée was pretty good as well. This restaurant is only a 3 minute walk to the theater so it was a win-win. Great food prior to a show we enjoyed. read more

Great wonton soup. Great service and was served right away. Everything was really fresh

A beautiful place for dinner. Quiet, cozy & good service. Corn bread was moist and yummy, I didn't taste much jalapeño. My dish quail on a stick is delicious, I am not a fan of any panko fried meat but this is exception, pickle okra is nicely done. I ate a few spoon out of my husband's chili. Not a fan of Tex-Amex chili, only meat, no beans at all. And the flavor is definitely very different with what I am used to. read more

We started with the cornbread app, which $14 sounds steep ,but it is huge and comes out in the shape of TX, which is so crafty! I love the butter, pimento cheese, and honey served with it - all were delicious on top of the cornbread! I opted for the burger, which was scrumptious, as it just juiced out when I was taking bites. The black garlic potatoes bravas (auto correct is not liking these words), but those were not so much of a hit - I usually love black garlic, but I feel like I didn't get a strong enough taste for it? It's worth it, plus outside seating on the riverwalk makes it cute. read more

This place was honestly top tier. The food was delicious. I was especially impressed with the steak, and the chilaquiles were amazing. Everything came out pretty fast and was still hot and flavorful, which I really appreciated. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was super cute. It wasn't overly crowded or loud, which made it easy to actually enjoy the experience and conversation. The drinks were okay for me (I'm not the biggest mimosa fan), but we were celebrating with my spouse, and it was still a great place for celebratory drinks. Overall, great food, great vibe, and a really enjoyable experience. I'd definitely come back. read more

Food: it was delicious, flavor is there. Wish my brisket didn't have too much fat on it with very little meat. Eggs were done to perfection and I loved the potatoes. My husband loved the flavor of the grilled chicken burger. Service: excellent, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Ambiance: moody vibes with a nice view of the riverwalk, it felt cozy and romantic. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Conveniently located right off the Riverwalk with indoor and outdoor sections available. Beautiful on a warm, sunny day. It was pretty busy so took a little bit to get our orders. I got the breakfast burrito and my wife the brisket Benedict. The burrito will definitely leave you feeling full but didn't have too much flavor on its own. My wife's brisket was a bit too rough and pretty difficult to chew but the poached eggs were done well. Overall ok experience. read more

My wife and I had dinner here on Christmas. We were given advice to order the burger and it did not disappoint. We were very lucky to get a table because we did not have a reservation, however we were able to sit in the bar area, which worked out perfectly. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. They also have outside seating on the Riverwalk. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant if you ever visit SA. I forgot to take a picture of the Texas-shaped cornbread. I am seriously considering the take a few back home. It's that good!!! The food, service, and the price points are in sync. read more

​My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Four Brothers for Restaurant Week, and it was an absolutely fantastic meal from start to finish. ​We started with the Texas wagyu carpaccio and the mustard on the beet, both of which were delicious and perfectly prepared appetizers. For our main courses, I had the bison short rib tagliatelle, and my wife ordered the chicken fried venison. Both dishes were outstanding--incredibly flavorful and wonderfully executed. ​For dessert, I can't say enough about the Samoa cake with coconut gelato. It was truly extraordinary! My wife's churros were also a highlight, incredibly light and delicious. ​Beyond the food, the service was impeccable--attentive without being overbearing or cloying. We felt well taken care of throughout our entire meal. I would most definitely recommend Four Brothers and can't wait to go back. read more

To the restaurant staff who took our ToGo order and was overheard relaying it with a condescending tone, hey, don't knock it. Have YOU tasted the jalapeño cornbread? Have YOU tasted those BBQ glazed Brussels sprouts? Not that it's your business to know we are stuffed from days of big restaurant meals, and wanted tonight, to kick back on the beautiful Mansión patio, with a light dinner that reminds us of our southern grandmothers. read more

Delicious. Ordered the brisket (slightly fatty) eggs Benedict, ham omelet and stuffed concha and kids had the pancakes and American breakfast. Came in for brunch, we were staying at the hotel. Kids received coloring sheets to keep them busy. Our server Magda was very nice and just the right amount of 'attentive' if we needed anything. read more

My husband and I visited the River Walk and wanted brunch. We saw great reviews so decided to give it a try! I had the pancakes, which were very flavorful, fluffy and had an amazing bourbon sauce on top! My husband had the all American breakfast with chicken sausage which was really nice. The breakfast potatoes had white and purple potatoes which I liked. Service was great. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM. I would have loved to sit outside on the patio next to the river but it was a little too hot. The inside was very intimate! If you decide to eat there, parking is free at the hotel it's located in!! read more

Wow! This place is amazing. Stopped in for breakfast and was surprised by the dishes and the amount of food you get. I got the brisket Benedict... this was enough food for two people and it was fabulous. Coffee so good. The service was on point. located right on the riverwalk, this spot cannot be beat! Clean, professional and beautiful inside. This is a must try! read more

Stopped here while visiting San Antonio for work before heading to a Spurs game. Grabbed a pimento cheese burger and it was very very good. Three of us got burgers all ordered medium, but one of them was more close to well done, so some consistency issues for a $26 burger. Fries are nothing special, I've come to expect hand cut twice fried delicious fries when ordering a gourmet burger, these are just thin pre-frozen fries. The cornbread as others have mentioned is a MUST get!! Best I've ever had. If it wasn't for the cornbread I'd probably go with a 3 star review. read more

Super disappointed in the food here. Had great reviews so thought we couldn't go wrong. People especially claimed they had the best burgers? The menu was a brunch menu and was limited on choices. My husband and I decided to share a burger and fries. Asked for the burger to be cooked medium... was basically still mooing didn't eat my 1/2 too scared I'd get sick read more

We had a lovely experience for brunch. Service was excellent, and the ambiance was unmatched. You can't go wrong with the standard American breakfast items so if you're unsure what to get, just get that. The standout for us was the churros. We were shocked when 4 large churros with dipping sauces were delivered to our table. We were only expecting 2, but 4 are in the order. The churros were some of the best I've ever had. They were very light with a wonderful eggy texture inside. The crust of sugar was exactly the way I like it and the caramel sauce was delightful. Definitely don't skip the churros. read more

I've had many steaks in SA. The pic I attached is of what I feel is perfection. I requested extra horseradish to mix in with the famous Four Brothers sauce and the result was pure ecstasy. The steak was perfectly seasoned and served at the exact temperature I requested. They don't normally serve the full menu in the bar but they made an exception on a slow night. We had live entertainment and the volume was perfect. Drinks were A+. read more

They only have brunch menu until 3pm. The 25 minutes wait for a hamburger that was overcooked and overpriced is not with it.

We went for Restaurant Week and were very happy with the offerings. For starters my husband and I each had the wagyu chili and our friends each had the carpaccio. For mains everyone else had the apple glazed salmon and I tried the short rib tagliatelle. It was all very good, although I think the salmon should have come with a side of some type. Our friends ordered a side of fries and they were thin and crispy. My tagliatelle was fantastic. It had a sour cream tasting base - almost like a stroganoff. So yummy! The Samoa cake was like a large Samoa Girl Scout cookie with a chocolate cake base and coconut top. Very unique and tasty. My husband had the churros which were shaped like small donuts and came with plenty of hot caramel and chocolate sauces for dipping. Also very good. Service was good and the restaurant had an old classy feel. read more

Very nice dinning area, host is so kind and welcoming. Service took awhile but food so was delicious. The queens chili was THE BEST. I stayed thinking about that. I can truly say this is the best chili I've had. The cowboy platter was divine!! Entire plate was delicious. & the pecan pancakes were great as well. Great place for breakfast very calm atmosphere which I personally love, was able to enjoy my meal and enjoy my company as well. Not a loud atmosphere even though it's at the river walk. read more

I would be terrified to eat here if I had a food allergy or Celiac or some other condition that required a server to be on top of what was going on because our server appeared to have no concept of what was in the dishes or how to handle dietary restrictions. We came here for a Christmas/birthday dinner, so we were having a double celebration. For the price tag of the restaurant, I expected that the service would be better than it was. While our server was very nice, he was not particularly attentive, nor did he seem to be able to answer any questions about the menu without going to ask the kitchen or the manager or something. It felt like he may not have been trained on the menu at all. Maybe it was hard to find someone to work on a holiday, but when a meal is nearly $100 per person, I just sort of expect some level of expertise and attention to detail. We informed him up front up about dietary restrictions, and he didn't listen at all. He even brought cupcakes at the end of the meal that the birthday guest of honor could not eat - and he knew this. He didn't even try to make it right. Someone else at the table had to ask if there was another option. It was just very disappointing for a server at a high-end restaurant to completely ignore the dietary issues that were raised at the beginning in the effort to avoid discomfort. All that said, the lion's mane mushroom steak was pretty terrible. It was an undercooked, chewy mess, but the potatoes on the side were fine. The filet was fine, as was the special holiday offering, so I think there are good items on the menu. The dirty martini was absolutely banging, definitely the highlight of the whole experience. I am a little bummed because we went through a lot of effort to find a nice restaurant for a special occasion, and the whole thing felt like a hassle. read more

Four Brothers was a last minute drop in place as i was walking along the riverwalk. It was a little quiet at lunch which surprised me since the ambience was so nice and the temperature inside was cool! The wait staff was friendly and didn't even flinch that i was wearing casual walking clothes I ordered their Margarita with Reposado tequila and it was so fabulous i had to order a second!! . The real standout here was the Burger and fries with BBQ seasoning "dust". OMG, first time I've ever prioritized fries over burger and the burger was off the rails fantastic! Cooked perfectly to order as medium rare. Also ordered the steak tartare to go for my husband and that was super special! Even though i was stuffed, i had to try a bite!! I highly recommend and can't wait to get back to San Antonio and hit this place for dinner!! Or come as you are for lunch, you won't be disappointed!!! read more
