These classic San Antonio restaurants have been open for over 50 years

With the rapid turnover common in the food industry, there's always a new and trendy spot to try. But sometimes what you really want is something classic, comforting and timeless.

These San Antonio restaurants have stood the test of time, serving up meals for more than 50 years — in some cases, more than a century. Some have even stayed in the family the whole time, becoming multi-generation affairs.

From an 82-year-old Tex-Mex mainstay to a South Side steakhouse, these restaurants all specialize in comforting eats with a side of Alamo City history.
