I am participating in a charity sporting clays event in San Antonio pulling for kids this weekend. We will have a group of 7-10 adults and a 2 year old. Where should we go eat Friday night.Our hotel is close to sea world.

Really looking for something other than a chain or tourist trap. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Rudy's BBQ is close by . . . You're either not from Texas, don't get out much, you hate the op, your tastebuds are scarred or you simply have no clue what barbeque tastes like.

If you are over at the National Shooting Complex and staying by Sea World you will not be far from Helotes. A few local places, Bobby J's is good for burgers and El Chaparral is good Mexican food.

La Fagata on Vance Jackson is good and could accommodate your party

GTK that La Fogata is still around VJ & I-10 west inside the Loop...was always my go to place in SA for yankee clients or Jersey boss's back when the parrots were flying around loose in the outdoor plaza...too many years ago though to think about.
What about the place just north of DTown that had the oak tree growing thru the dining room's ceiling ...next to where the old cadillac store had been...that was some good and unusal grub too...
Never got off on the Industrial/Machine Shop Look of the place in '09'er 'ville...even though the food was decent & waaay over priced.
Need to go back to SA and spend some time again I guess. Ron

I have long been a La Fogata fan. Might be just as easy though to go to the Market and eat at the Mexican food place there. Is it Margarita's? Great food. As many times as I've been there, I should remember the name.

Mi Casa Tamales on way to Boerne is good especially if you with a group of kids. El Chapparal, Aldacos, Fralos, Mi Tierra, Chris Madrids, Blanco Cafe, Perico's, Pam's Kitchen, Ajuua.

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

BBQ The granary or two brothers BBQ. The granary is a brew and que place and is some of the best I've had. Two brothers is close. Rudy's is just ok compared to these two.
Mexican El Chapparal. Period. End of sentence. Get the filet tampiqueno or todo Mexicano. La Fogata is good, but not EC. La hacienda de los barrios for puffy tacos.
Pizza Dough pizzeria, Grimalsi's, and mellow mushroom
Steak Ruth's Chris, longhorn
Hamburgers Bobby J's or longhorn cafe or BigZ
Persian Pasha
If going out to Boerne, go to the hungry horse for the steak sandwich.
