We had a fantastic birthday lunch at Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery. This ended up being the…read moreperfect final stop on my San Antonio birthday restaurant tour. Everything came out quickly, the service was smooth, and the whole menu felt approachable. I enjoyed the crawfish roll, which is a really nice alternative to the crab roll. Almost every time I see crawfish that's been peeled be someone else on a menu, I get pretty excited. Anyway, it served with the made-in-house hot sauce mixed with the drawn butter. Yummy. The fries were especially good, and dessert really surprised us. The carrot cake is very mild on the spice side, which actually let the textures shine, especially the brittle on top. It was incredibly light, crunchy, and honestly the best part of the dessert. We also appreciated how efficient everything was. We had a relaxed lunch, never felt rushed, and still managed to be in and out within about an hour and a half. Overall, a great experience and a great choice to eat here based on the efficiency and menu options for the pickier people in our group,

Family-style meal for our event, but this only made the interaction that much better. Their famous fried chicken was fab (probably that pickle brine) and the tenderloin melted in my mouth. Leave room for the bread pudding or take it to go. Finally, and most importantly to me, their beer offering is top notch. Their in house brews were delicious and paired well with the meal. Emily was a fantastic server and knowledgeable about the food, drinks, the restaurant, and the historic area of the Pearl. She made the meal even more enjoyable than it already was.

Our server was training someone, and they both did an excellent job--attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time. The carajillo was clearly made with care (and a little love), and it showed in every sip. As for the food, wow--the fried green tomatoes were incredible, and the fried chicken stole the show. It was so dang juicy and full of flavor that I'm already thinking about when I can go back. It's definitely in my top five and is juicier than Thomas Keller's. Bonus excitement: Chef Marylou was there too! Huge fan moment and really cool seeing her run the show. The staff looked genuinely happy. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a little sprinkle of star power--easy 5 stars!

We gave this place a try, and I genuinely want to see it do well because the space itself is really…read morenice, the location works, the decor is beautiful, and the staff were polite. That said, the food didn't quite meet expectations. Having spent considerable time in Louisiana, I've had solid Cajun and Creole cooking, so I'm coming in with a fair point of reference. The 1/4 chicken was mostly breading with not much substance underneath. The okra came out cold, and the gumbo was uneven-part of it hot, part of it not which made it feel more reheated than freshly prepared. Service was courteous, but a bit inconsistent in terms of attentiveness. I'm sharing this in the spirit of wanting the restaurant to improve, because it has a lot going for it. With more consistency in the kitchen and a bit more focus on execution, it could be a much stronger experience.

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

The greens were done right. The vibe of the restaurant was upbeat. Nice music playing and I appreciate the decor of all the 70s, 80s, and 90s show and movie posters. I wish the service would've matched everything else and for this they get 3 stars. Everything took long. Long to take our order, long to get our food, long to get refills, and long to get the check. You know it's long when you decide not to ask for anything else because you don't want to be delayed any longer than you've already been. I hope they can get the service on point to match the food. Best of luck to them

Beautiful restaurant. Service is very good. Had ceviche, tuna al pastor, and the corn cakes. The…read morescallop ceviche was a bit bland but I like the crunchiness of the green apple. I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.
