In the neighborhood sweet spot between Beacon Hill and Monte Vista, Outlaw Kitchens is like having weekend dinner at a California vineyard, sitting outside under the misters at a restaurant that looks more like the home of counterculture gourmands, with plots of herbs and vegetables and a free-roaming turkey. Those gourmands are Paul Sartory and Peggy Howe, who keep things simple Thursdays through Saturdays with two three-course dinner options. A recent night’s first course included velveteen slices of salmon cured in-house with beets and dill, the opening salvo for plates of hanger steak bearnaise and tonnarelli pasta with Campari tomato “meatballs.” Like a flight to the wine country, right here at home since 2017.

Outlaw Kitchens is a true neighborhood hangout situated on a quaint corner in the midtown area. The owners dreamt of a restaurant with a new nightly menu where neighbors could stop by for supper and that’s exactly the atmosphere and experience they created. The food is always fresh, delicious, and well-executed but the menu is limited and changes almost daily so either take a peek at their website before you go or just trust that anything they’re offering is guaranteed to be delicious.

Nestled in a remodeled bungalow in the Alta Vista neighborhood north of downtown, the outdoor dining area invokes the feeling of a dinner party. That is, if your dinner party featured a chef who worked with multiple Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse and taught at the Culinary Institute of America. Chef and co-owner Paul Sartory and his wife, Peggy Howe, create delicious, memorable and unfussy experiences on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

If you are a restaurant that is only going to do one thing, you had better do it well. And at Outlaw Kitchens, whose concept is to prepare one meal each week, they do it better than well, they knock it out of the park. Outlaw Kitchens, located in a cute stone bungalow in Beacon Hill, is a very unique, yet totally delightful, neighborhood restaurant that is family-owned and operated.

One of the best restaurants in San Antonio who offer a very unique dining experience, Outlaw Kitchens operates on the concept of preparing one meal each week. Located in a stone bungalow on Beacon Hill, this family-owned restaurant offers a weekly rotating menu with one appetizer, two entrées and two desserts. The price of the course menu fluctuates depending on the meals offered.

There's something magical about the corner of Flores and Magnolia. Found in the heart of Alta Vista, the restaurant is quite literally a labor of love. Paul Sartory and Peggy Howe, the husband-and-wife team at the heart of Outlaw Kitchens, transformed their home into a live-work space bisected with a soda fountain counter top and stools perfect for cozying up to your date.

It's difficult to explain what an exceptionally delightful experience Outlaw Kitchens provides without experiencing it for yourself. Tucked away in one of San Antonio's quaint neighborhoods, just a few minutes north of downtown, this husband and wife duo have created a restaurant that is truly one-of-a-kind. Chef Sartory has decades of experience as a chef.
