What people say
German restaurants are known for their hearty and flavorful dishes, and Schilo's in San Antonio is no exception. This family-owned and operated establishment has been serving up delicious German and American cuisine since the early 1900s. From their famous split pea soup to their mouth-watering sandwiches, Schilo's offers a variety of options that will satisfy any craving.
The history of Schilo's is as rich as its food. Originally a saloon in Beeville, Texas, the business moved to San Antonio in 1914 and opened as a delicatessen the same year. Despite facing challenges such as Prohibition and the Great Depression, Schilo's persevered and continued to serve its loyal customers.
Today, Schilo's is located on Commerce Street in San Antonio and still maintains its German roots with traditional dishes like sausages, schnitzel, and potato salad. The restaurant also offers American favorites such as burgers and fries.
Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a sit-down dinner with friends and family, Schilo's is the perfect spot. With its cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, it's no wonder why this restaurant has been a staple in San Antonio for over a century.
