The Rill Eatery & Bar opened this summer in the space formerly occupied by German restaurant Little Gretel.
Boerne's Rill Eatery & Bar is closing just three months after setting up shop to serve burgers and elevated bar food in the San Antonio bedroom community.

The family-friendly dining spot's last day of service will be this Sunday, according to a Facebook post. The owners also thanked the community for their support in the message, which was posted Thursday.


The Rill took over the building at 518 River Road that housed longtime German restaurant Little Gretel until it shut down this spring. Along with burger sliders, the new spot offered flatbread pizzas, charcuterie boards and "Texas-style egg rolls."

The Rill’s online announcement didn't include a reason for its closure. However, management said the restaurant will sell wine bottles at a 20% discount between now and Sunday.
