Tejas Steakhouse and Saloon: Kick Up Your Cowboy Boots at This Western Eatery

September 29, 2015 by

Tejas Steakhouse and Saloon got its start when its owners sold steaks out of an outdoor smokehouse during local rodeos, and although it has since expanded into a large, stylish restaurant, it still focuses on choice cuts of steaks made with special rubs and traditional preparation. Here, you’ll typically encounter a lively crowd of customers dining on complimentary biscuits (served with made-from-scratch honey butter), various cuts of steaks, and classic Southern sides like chili macaroni and cheese and warm baked potatoes.

Tejas Steakhouse is decorated with authentic spurs, chaps, and saddles that date all the way back to the late 1800s, creating an authentic saloon feel alongside the restaurant’s wooden dining furniture and lodge-style building. Best of all, Tejas even holds nightly rodeo-style dinner entertainment that makes for one of the most exciting meals you’ll find in San Antonio!
