Dignowity

The day I ate dinner here the weather was bad but this place is good. On a nice day this would be a great place to eat, hang out for awhile and drink some good beers. It’s counter ordering which I like and they bring your food to you when it’s ready. I got the burnt end melt which I think is what Guy got when he visited for DDD. I also got the house pickles and a beer. I wish I would’ve got one more small item to eat because I was hungry and the food was delicious. I also liked the fact that it was not in the middle of downtown so it wasn’t super busy. That could have also been due to the weather.

You can go to the Northside, or one of the more affluent sides of town, where some of the more trendy eateries make their home. And sure, the food is decent/safe, if that's all it takes to satisfy your palate. Or, you can shrug off any misconceptions you have about the east side of town and experience one of San Antonio's hidden gems. Dignowity meats is a humble little eatery that if you weren't looking for it, you'd drive right past it. Although you would be making a mistake by doing so. A friendly outdoor spot, with great beers on tap, and exceptional food coming out of the kitchen. If you're looking for a down-to-earth spot that is inviting, appetizing, as well as a chill spot to kick back and relax, then look no further. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

On this recent visit I had the smoked pastrami sandwich. It is easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Simple yet delicious. The pastrami had excellent flavor and texture. The Swiss cheese was nice and melted, the mustard was great and the toasted rye bread topped it off.

Went to this place yesterday and it did not disappoint. The food was hot and flavorful! The environment is great. We will definitely be back for karaoke night or trivia night. The owner took our order and made great suggestions then came by the table to make sure we were satisfied. Awesome experience and a nice way to escape the chain restaurants around downtown and the river walk.

Nice restaurant just east of downtown. They have a separate menu and ordering system for lunch during the week and for dinner in the evenings and on weekends. The lunch menu has more deli sandwiches while the dinner menu has more cooked and fried foods. Came on a weekend, so ordered from the dinner menu. I believe it's all outside dining area with about 12-15 picnic type tables. There was plenty of shade and fans to keep the area cool even in the hot summer heat. You order you food at the bar and they bring the food out to your table. The bartender was very helpful in explaining the menu and gave a few recommendations. Wasn't sure of the portion sizes, so ordered a little bit of everything. They're known for their Burnt End Melt Sandwich which is their burnt ends brisket, mac & cheese, pears, and cheese on ciabatta bread. I was hesitant about the mac & cheese in the sandwich, but it was really good. It really just complements the cheese and the macaroni just adds a different type of texture. Also ordered the buttermilk fried chicken quarters and eastside hot chicken. I was expecting just a drumstick, but was surprised at the large portions. Both were very crispy and flavorful. The hot chicken wasn't that spicy, it just gave a little kick different than the buttermilk fried chicken. Tried a few sides of the sharp cheddar mac, cream cheese corn bake, pickles and granny apple slaw. They were all good and a good price for the small portions. Good food and service. The bar staff and those who brought the food out were very polite. Will have to come back during the week at lunch time to try the lunch menu. The deli sandwiches sound good, too bad they're not served on the weekend. Recommend giving this place a try.
