Hole in the wall Mexican food. This Mexican's favorite local lunch spot. Good food, great prices, attentive service. From the huge breakfast tacos to the steak/shrimp platters, you can't go wrong here. Not fancy, but good.

Gruene is a must for anyone visiting San Antonio hill country. And Gruene River Grill is among the better options for dining in this iconic town. Go look at Grist Mill, but eat at Gruene River Grill. My favorite here is the Jalapeno seafood chowder.

It's a Texas Hill Country experience. Not for the weak of heart, this place is heavy on the fried and even heavier on the gravy. But if you're staying in Bulverde, you have to do Antler's at least once while you're here.

Drinks & Nightlife

Food is so-so, but the atmosphere is about as relaxing as it gets. Eat (or just drink) out on the deck overlooking the Canyon Lake Marina and Yacht Club. For a full day of fun, visit Cranes Mill Marina (see below), rent a boat, explore Canyon Lake, and dock at Canyon Lake Marina for lunch or dinner at the Baja BBQ Shack.

Be careful, because this place gets stupid busy on weekends and during school holidays. But if your visit doesn't overlap with either of those times, and you love hiking and incredible nature views, Enchanted Rock is a must.
