LITTLE RHEIN STEAK HOUSE Showing Off San Antonio’s Authentic German Roots

The Jumbo Lump Crab Stuffed Avocado with dressed greens.

______________

The Little Rhein Steak House is the perfect place for dinner if you are looking for a fine dining experience. Little Rhein is a German steakhouse, located next to San Antonio’s famous Hilton Palacio de Rio. Their Bavarian patio resembles a beer garden, where you can enjoy dinner in the open air. The service is excellent and the food is first class.

In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, German immigrants selected San Antonio, and the neighboring town of New Braunfels, as the place in Texas they wanted to call home and build their community. The old stone building was originally the Otto Bombach residence and store and the interior makes a person feel like they’ve taken a quick trip to Germany!

 

The exposed stone walls of the interior are covered with antique German beer trays and German artworks.

 

Our meal at The Little Rhein: The jumbo lump crab stuffed avocado salad, a Caesar salad, a twice-baked potato as a side dish and a delicious glass of Pinot Grigio wine.
