Schilo's Delicatessen

On the San Antonio scene since 1917, this Downtown deli "landmark" is "the place to go" for "overstuffed sandwiches", soups and other "hearty", "German-style" delicacies washed down with "old-time" homemade root beer; well-worn tables and brew signs help maintain the original feel, while the "bargain" prices are refreshingly retro to boot; P.S. closes at 8:30 PM.

Schilo's has occupied its present location since 1945, but its roots go back to Papa Fritz Schilo's 1917 saloon, giving it the hands-down crown for hospitality history. We doubt that recipes have changed much since the institution's…

It's a businessman's friend, a historical landmark, and the best place in town to sip soup or homemade root beer.\r

Absolutely amazing pancakes and breakfast sandwich. This place was recommended by a local and it’s no wonder why! We might consider moving from Minneapolis to San Antonio just for the pancakes ??

I went for breakfast on Sunday morning. Service was friendly, good, and quick-ish. I had the pancake breakfast. Pancakes were really good, nice meaty strips of bacon. I don’t get the one egg thing on a lot of their plates so I added an egg for $1. I tasted biscuits and cinnamon roll, both delicious. I do plan on returning sometime to try lunch. Parking terrible obviously, it’s downtown. Kid...

Ordered the potato pancakes and a potato, egg, cheese breakfast taco and the taco was amazing! So much bigger then what I had thought it would be. The potato pancakes were ok. Our server was friendly and sweet, however she seemed all over the place. We kept having to remind her of things like we got our food and had no silverware, needed a refill on water and coffee but forgot about the water....

Many people assume that the primary influence of San Antonio is Hispanic or Mexican. But there was a time when San Antonio's citizens were primarily German. Schilo's Delicatessen personifies that time in in history when the Germans came to Texas back in the 1800's. Fritz Schilo opened a saloon in Beeville in the early 1900's and then migrated to San Antonio in 1914. When Prohibition reached...
