Winner: The Cove
606 W. Cypress St.
(210) 227-2683
The Cove has become known for a lot of things in its 22 years of operation — such as its great Texas beer selection and the fact that it also features a carwash. However, the combination of the restaurant’s shaded playscape for the kiddos, relaxed outdoor dining area and its quality menu that make it a favorite for family dining. The sustainable, organic and local aesthetic of the food is found in the Cove’s well-regarded fish tacos, its grass-fed beef and bison burgers, its abundant salads and fresh-cut sweet potato fries. The spot is also vegan friendly, serving up a variety of sandos that can make fans of die-hard carnivores.
