Classic Comfort,
Cooked Over Oak
Embers Wood Fired Restaurants offers classic American comfort food with a twist — from wood-fired pizzas to our famous grilled meatloaf.
It started with a simple idea: everything tastes better over a real oak fire. In 2015 we lit the first grill at I-10 and Wurzbach, and San Antonio showed up hungry. Three years later we opened our second kitchen on Loop 1604 — this time with over 50 draft beers on tap and 15 TVs, perfect for catching the game.
Locally owned & operated, Embers has become a destination for residents and visitors alike. Two locations, one obsession: fire and flavor in everything we serve.
A Decade
