I don’t know about you but there’s a point in my week where I’m literally over it and you can tell. Lately, with what’s happening in the world all around it tends to happen a lot sooner than you’d expect. Most of the time I need to just hang out with my dog or dance montage alone in my home but sometimes it’s a cure only food can satisfy. 

So like where do we go to eat when we’re just over it? I’ve compiled my list of San Antonio spots to go to when you’re just over her. Also, we tried to keep out the drinking vibe (minus one post) because I opted that.

Sari-Sari

If you’ve ever had a long day or a long week just remember there’s no heartbreak lumpia can’t fix- okay there are some things it can’t necessarily fix but that’s what the rest of this Filipino restaurant’s menu is gonna do for you. We’re talking a full menu ranging from breakfast- (my rec is tocilog) to a full-on kamayan boodle fight if the feels are just too much!  

Jim’s

Ever cry in a Jim’s? Well, I have! So, if you’re getting those late-night feels and need to go somewhere to get pie or soup at like 11 pm, than Jim’s is the spot for you to play out all your emo kid feels in a booth in the corner.  

Mr. A Ok's Kitchen

If you were the type that had a bad day and mama made you your favorite meal to cheer you up then this is the place I’m suggesting. Apart from the name reminding you everything will be a ok, this hidden gem is here to give you a hug from the inside out. Come hungry and then take some more to go for the Netflix binge session you’re about to watch all night long.  

Max and Louis New York Diner

Research shows if you eat breakfast at any time during the day it’s like your day hasn’t started and you’re able to not acknowledge any of your upcoming problems. Like that problem, you had earlier with your presentation? It didn’t happen. Breakfast never judges you! Max and Louis New York Diner not only has breakfast options all day they have savory foods and yum milkshakes. 

Spechts Texas

You know the song that goes ‘some dance to remember, some dance to forget’? Well, you’ve taken a drive in your car to clear your mind, windows down, music blasting and now you’re in the middle of nowhere looking for food. Spechts Texas is the answer- they have live music, food, and drinks. You can now drown out the worries in your head by sitting near the speakers or maybe a couple of cold ones- live your best life. 

Good Time Charlies

Remember that one time you decided to give your flaky friend one last chance to make plans and they bailed because of a ‘work thing’ only to be hit by that refresh on IG and you’re seeing them at a rooftop party? First of all, do we have any rooftops to party in SA? Second of all, you knew deep down they were a flake. Now since they gotta be immature you gotta find something to make you feel better. Good Time Charlie’s made our list because of steak fingers- because back in elementary school all problems were solved with a playground showdown.  

The Art of Donut

If your life is so sad you’re dreading going into work because you know you have 9 million things to do in 8 hours- don’t look any further. The Art of Donut can make anyone happy. Granted other things make you happy too but there are evil forces all around making sure those things don’t work out but hey you can order a dozen donuts for the road and just drive the long way to work and say you brought donuts. And when they ask you where they are- just walk away. Conflict resolution at its finest. 

225 Urban Smoke

You’ve tried to hard to be nice and smile to your neighbor and kindly ask them to stop playing Mongolian Throat Singing Metal loudly after 10 pm but they’re also your super and you can’t really win this battle because your lease isn’t up for 10 more months so what can you do? Eat your pains away at 225 Urban Smoke-grab a sandwich or some wings or some bbq and recognize Mongolian throat singing for the national treasure that it really is.  

Little Italy 

You know how in all those gangster movies they always had a scene in a restaurant? Well, it’s for a good reason. You got played and you got got. So now, what do you do? You could go home and pout or you could go to Little Italy and plan your revenge. You’ll for sure feel better after a large bowl of pasta and if not you’ll at least have a plan on how to never get played again.

I def over this week. I’m actually over like 7 people exclusively. As always be sure to follow my San Antonio foodie instagram @sanantoniolovelist to keep up with the latest.
