Frommer's Review

This place has been here since long before San Antonio started attracting tourists. It's on the river not far from the Alamo and makes for a good place to stop and rest your feet and enjoy a hearty bowl of split-pea soup or a piece of the signature cherry cheesecake. The large, open room with its worn wooden booths is classic. The waitresses -- definitely not "servers" -- wear dirndl-type outfits, and German live bands play on Saturday from 5 to 8pm. The menu has a large kid-friendly selection and retro low prices. For around $5, a good, greasy Reuben or a kielbasa plate should satisfy most appetites. Come Friday or Saturday evening if you want your food accompanied by accordion music.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
