Lone Star River Café – 237 Losoya St., San Antonio, Texas
located upstairs on the beautiful River Walk.
I recommend going on the weekend and grabbing a seat over the River
Walk. Watching the tourists go by and locals is a real treat. During October at night the weather can be
brisk but the atmosphere is fabulous.
The locals are strolling around the River Walk with their families in
tow. The college students can get a
little wild but its all in fun and nothing like Fort Lauderdale during spring
break. Nobody went swimming in the
river. The locals are friendly the way
only a true Texan can be so if you assistance finding the joint just ask any
stranger in a cowboy hat. Yes there are
a few.
This is your typical steak and bar-b-que restaurant but it’s
the location and friendliness that makes it a place to see.
Just about all the appetizers are fried however I do
recommend Charlie’s Famous Fried Onion Rings served with house made
ketchup. Make sure you do not forget a
glass of beer with it as you need it to calm down the spiciness of the ketchup.
Typically they have marguerites on special so feel free to indulge.
All you can eat specials for $5.00 are served Monday through
Friday. Wednesday is Pork Riblettes and
if that does not appeal to you try Thursday’s King Ranch Casserole and Sloppy
Joes. Sloppy Joes just like mama use to
make on Friday nights when I was growing up. The messier the better as mama
would say.
This place is strictly meat, meat and more meat. There is
fried catfish served the traditional way with coleslaw and fries. The La Grange Chicken Breast topped with
mushrooms was rather dry but again I did not go for the food but for the
atmosphere.
Lone Star Café is not typical steak fare nothing
special. The reason to visit this Steak
House is simple the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful above the
famous San Antonio River Walk. I give it
a 2 ½ stars. You need to go just to see
the action below you as you enjoy a cool beverage on a hot night.
