We stopped into Shilo’s for a lunch and was splendid. The service was stellar. The food was excellent, particularly the root beer, rye bread, kielbasa, pretzels and Reuben fritters. The restaurant is very nostalgic neatly decorated with history. I would love to try their breakfast menu. I would definitely come here again. Highly recommended!
We had a terrific breakfast there the other day. It's a marvelous old place with tons of character.
We got there a few minutes after it opened on Sunday and it was almost full. We ordered a schnitzel with egg, it comes with hash browns and a biscuit & gravy. We also ordered a cream pancake and a potato pancake. We shared everything and it was more than enough for two people.
The schnitzel was delicious, crisp & tasty. Egg was perfect. biscuit was light as a feather. The cream and potato pancakes were marvelous too. The hash browns were average, but nothing special.
I'd have loved to have tasted their home made Root Beer but I gave up sugar a few years ago. Maybe next time I can have a sip or two as Root Beer has been a favorite of mine forever. I'd also love to try their Reuben with their home made mustard too. Next time we'll go for lunch. This is a place that's definitely worth a visit!

We were able to walk to this location for breakfast and it was a nice walk. The restaurant displays the date of its origin, 1917, in tile on the front steps. The doors and much of the inside stood still in time. I enjoyed looking around at the history.
The food: we had the avocado toast and the schnitzel dish…it was delicious. We cleaned our plates. The coffee was good also.
The service: I can’t rave about the service but it wasn’t terrible. Just needs a touch of improvement. It seemed that our plates may have gotten lost in the back until we asked for them to be checked on. We, along with the other tables beside us, waited for some time on our checks. Friendliness was not completely absent and the lack is somewhat understandable because she was busy but maybe some encouragement in this area would boost the tips. Breakfast patrons are more likely to overtip.
I purchased 2 bottles of their root beer and it was delicious. So enjoyed it.
Highly recommend for part of your San Antonio experience.
