Trove pick: the oldest restaurant in San Antonio (since 1917)
Other
No discount — but Schilo's earns a spot here because it's the oldest continuously operating restaurant in San Antonio. German deli plates, split-pea soup that's been on the menu since the 1920s, homemade root beer, and an interior largely unchanged since the building dates (the structure itself goes back to the late 1800s). Pricing has always been on the modest side, which is part of the point.
Editorial pick, not a discount. The oldest continuously operating restaurant in San Antonio, opened 1917. Split-pea soup, homemade root beer, a tin-ceilinged room — none of it gussied up in a hundred years. Lunch is cheaper than most downtown happy hours by default.
