Fodor's Expert Review Little Rhein Prost Haus

$$ Downtown and the River Walk Lunch

Housed in a limestone structure built in 1847, this rustic restaurant was originally the residence and store of German immigrant Otto Bombach, and now it's a spot to enjoy traditional German fare and music in a historic River Walk setting. A highlight is the Bavarian Beer Room, an Opera Haus–style space with live entertainment at selected times. Starters include deviled eggs and Prost fries topped with pork belly, scallions, pickles, and bier cheese. Handhelds (sandwiches) include a classic Reuben, a brat dog, a chicken schnitzel club, and burgers (either beef or veggie), plus sides of sauerkraut and potato salad. The terrace dining reminiscent of a biergarten gives diners scenic views of the San Antonio River. It's a historically protected site that was once a boarding house, a private school, and reportedly a hangout for desperados.
