J. Anthony's Seafood Café
Fresh Seafood Family Meals in San Antonio
When everyone is hungry and nobody wants the same thing, dinner can get complicated. J. Anthony’s Seafood Café makes it easier with family orders, kids’ meals, and a full menu of Mexican seafood in San Antonio.
For more than 40 years, local families have gathered at J. Anthony’s for fried fish, shrimp, ceviche, caldos, and other familiar favorites. With four San Antonio locations, there is likely a J. Anthony’s nearby when you need dinner for a few people—or enough food for the whole crew.
Family Orders Make Dinner Easier
Some nights, cooking a full meal just is not happening. Maybe you worked late, spent the evening at practice, or suddenly have more people to feed than expected. That is where J. Anthony’s family meals come in handy.
The Family Fish N Shrimp order includes 10 pieces of fish, 10 shrimp, family fries, a quart of any side, sauces, tea, bread, and lemon. The Family Fish order comes with 12 pieces of fish, family fries, a quart of any side, tartar sauce, tea, bread, and lemon.
Other larger orders include:
- 6 Piece Fish
- 9 Piece Fish
- 20 Piece Fish
- 20 Piece Shrimp
- 10 Piece Chicken Tenders
What comes with each order varies, so check the menu before choosing. Whether you are picking up dinner on the way home or feeding relatives who stopped by, these larger orders take some of the work out of getting everyone fed.
Something for the Kids, Too
Finding a restaurant that works for adults and children is not always easy. While one person may be craving ceviche or Caldo de Marisco, a younger diner might want something a little more familiar.
The kids’ menu includes:
- Kids Quesadillas
- Kids Grilled Cheese
- Kids Shrimp
- Kids Fish Nuggets
- Kids Chicken Tenders
- Kids Chicken Nuggets
With seafood and non-seafood choices available, parents do not have to piece together dinner from several different places.
More Than Fried Fish and Shrimp
Family orders may be convenient, but they are only part of the menu. J. Anthony’s serves a wide selection of Mexican seafood, including chilled cocktails, hearty caldos, grilled plates, baked fish, and seafood combinations.
Depending on what sounds good, you can order favorites such as:
- Ceviche
- Shrimp Cocktail
- Caldo de Pescado
- Caldo de Camarón
- Caldo de Marisco
- Tacos de Pescado
- Shrimp a la Diabla
- Grilled Red Snapper Filet
- Baked Fish N Shrimp
That variety helps J. Anthony’s stand apart from other seafood restaurants in San Antonio. One person can order crispy fried fish while someone else enjoys shrimp tacos, caldo, or a grilled seafood plate.
A Place for Birthdays and Family Gatherings
Sometimes, a family meal is about more than getting dinner on the table. Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and other celebrations call for enough room to bring everyone together.
J. Anthony’s offers free party-room reservations at its General McMullen, Northwest Loop, and Military Drive locations. Each party room can accommodate up to 50 guests, giving families a place to enjoy a meal together without squeezing everyone into the house.
Availability may vary, so contact the restaurant ahead of time to ask about reserving a room for your gathering.
