“YOU MAY ALL GO TO HELL, AND I WILL GO TO THE CROCKETT TAVERN!”Born out of the ruins of The Alamo’s last stand, situated on the El Camino Real Trail, the Crockett Tavern is the real Texas deal.Located in the historic Crockett Hotel, feet away from the perimeter walls of the legendary Alamo, the Tavern exists as a living reflection of the site of the infamous battle of nearly two centuries ago and of Davy Crockett, the storied frontiersman whose life and death provided the most remarkable narrative of it all.The surroundings tell their own tale. Old Bexar rock, repurposed oak and cedar beams create a canvas that harkens back to the days when Texas was a battleground for independence. After your visit to the world-famous Alamo, the Tavern offers a chilled whiskey cocktail or an ice-cold Texan craft-brewed beer, served at a worn and weathered bar that is guarded by Texas’ largest girth longhorn mount.

The three-time James Beard Award finalist began his culinary journey on a small farm in Wisconsin and a vibrant decade in New Orleans. This position eventually led him to San Antonio where, with a new lease on life after beating lymphoma, he ventured out on his own to open Cured. McHugh's gastronomic foundation relies on the purity of natural regional ingredients and the hands-on unadultured methods that enhanced his own healing process. This from-scratch focus finds its way to seasonally dynamic menus of cured delicacies from the charcuterie to pickles.

Food was excellent and staff was great. The area is designed around tourists of course, so keep this in mind. But overall I'm very pleased.

Consistently great food, attentive waitstaff, and lovely atmosphere. They offer two portion sizes for most entrees and I usually get the smaller which I find, in most cases, is more than enough. I've had the Denver beef several times and really enjoyed it as well as the corn pudding it comes with. And, to start with we had the chicken fried oysters which I literally crave, they're so delicious. Highly recommend!

A little less music volume in the place would make it more enjoyable. The service needs some structure. Drinks came late in the middle of the meal. And it was not crowded. The fish tacos were very good as well as the Cabrito and the guacamole went a little too much lime. The Chalupas and the Tacos were just ok. It could do a lot better.
