Ich liebe Schilo's!! That's about
all the German I know after taking 4 college German classes, but that's okay!!!
If you're looking for some authentic German food and drink head down to
Schilo's Delicatessen on Commerce; located in the heart of downtown San
Antonio, Schilo's offers an array of mainland German dishes from bratwurst to
potato pancakes to Leberkäse and knockwurst.
Schilo's takes its patrons on a trip
through time; framed along the walls of the old deli you will find pictures and
photos of the past. Old German ads align the walls and sprinkled
throughout you will find photos of San Antonio over 100 years old. Never
remodeled, Schilo's offer's guests a feel for a deli scene from 70 years ago.

Ordering off a German inspired menu
can become daunting for someone unsure of what to order, as many aren't fans of
bratwurst or knockwurst. For those that are looking for an authentic German
meal, without sausage, might I suggest the potato pancakes or the split pea
soup and deviled egg. I am a soup fiend and love trying new kinds of
soups and this split pea is one of my favorite restaurant soups of all time.
Made from scratch daily this soup offers a warm creamy soup that will fill you
up for the rest of the evening. Sprinkled atop with pepper, this soup is
wonderful year around. I always order my soup with a side of deviled eggs.
These eggs rival my own deviled egg creation that only make an appearance on
Easter. Schilo’s potato pancakes are rich in flavor, light and fluffy
to the touch. Accompanied by apple sauce, the pancake’s taste has the right amount
flavor with a hint of sweetness.
Diners daring enough to fancy an
authentic German wurst have the option to choose from either red or white
sausage, bratwurst or knockwurst. Born
of German heritage, I am always excited to try all different types of wurst,
but my personal opinion is bratwurst is far better than knockwurst- patrons
should try both as everyone has a different pallet.

Homemade root beer should always be
ordered when eating at Schilo’s. This
root beer is by far the very best soft drink ever created; made with natural
sugar and brewed in a whiskey style barrel, this root beer is reminiscent of old
soda fountains from the 1950’s. Adorned
in a frosty mug and complete with a free refill, this drink is an absolute must
for everyone! For those looking for an authentic adult beverage, Schilo’s also
offers a few beers on tap including Spaten, Shiner Boch, and seasonal
surprises.
Next time you find yourself in
downtown San Antonio make sure to stop by for a quick bite of lunch or dinner from
the most wonderful diner of the past.
