Bridging the gap between mom + pop and fine dining, Eastside Kitchenette in San Antonio remixes classic Southern dishes that defined our childhood. From shrimp & grits to chicken-fried steak with a runny egg on top, your taste buds will go crazy for these mouthwatering meals.

Inside, the atmosphere is that of a cozy farmhouse. Rustic decor takes guests back to Sunday supper at grandma's, and waiters dish out hefty portions of Southern hospitality.

The steak is incredibly fine Kobe beef, so it cuts just like butter. Crisp outer edges give way to the most succulent, melt-in-your-mouth meat on earth, making for a culinary experience unlike any other.
