Southerleigh Fine Food and Brewery
136 E Grayson St., in The Pearl, (210) 455-5701.
This dramatic restaurant and brewery operates inside the landmark 1894 building that was originally Pearl’s Brewhouse. Chicago architect August Maritzen designed more than 80 breweries--this one in the Second Empire style--think high ceilings and plenty of brick. At. Southerleigh Fine Food and Brewery, beer flights and small bites dominate a seasonal menu featuring delicious southern fare that includes deviled-ham eggs and jalapeno-cheddar grits.
Brunch is a popular time to relax with a spicy Michelada beer cocktail, a fresh orange juice mimosa, or a house-made brew. A popular food choice then is shrimp boil, consisting of Galveston bay shrimp and corn rounds. An eggs Benedict variation features braised country ham atop jalapeno corn bread with a Cajun cream Hollandaise.
Kids are catered to with a special menu that includes a white-cheddar grilled cheese, fish sticks, and more. It is presented on a cooking tray with a soft ball of dough for them to twist into a pretzel. They love it, and it keeps them quite busy while they wait for food to appear. When they are finished twisting, their creation can be sweetened with a sprinkling of cinnamon-sugar and baked into real pretzel. My delighted granddaughter ate most of hers for dessert and took the rest home.

We're always searching for new destinations and foodie experiences and this place looks great. But don't know if we could get past the shrimp boil.
ReplyDeleteThe red snapper with salsa verde looks like something I would order! There are so many interesting places to discover in San Antonio! It's been years since I was there but I'd love to return.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your pics do such a great job at telling the story. The food looks amazing, and I could really use one of those Michelada beers. My only issue would be that the "make and bake" pretzels are just for kids. I'd be all into that for myself. Lol
ReplyDeleteThis place is yummy. Round up a kid to take with you and then "help."
DeleteI love San Antonio and would go to Southerleigh Fine Food and Brewery next time. I'd love to try the jalapeno-cornbread Benedict!
ReplyDeleteSoutherleigh's looks like a great choice in San Antonio. I'll have the jalapeno-cornbread Benedict!
ReplyDeleteGood choice!
