Pearl is gaining another restaurant this fall. The minds that created Paperboy, a popular Austin restaurant, are bringing Full Goods Diner to San Antonio.
While an exact date has not been revealed, the new breakfast and lunch eatery is slated to open in September in the Full Goods building at 200 East Grayson Street, San Antonio, TX 78215. The upcoming Full Goods Diner intends to bring a feel good, approachable space to Pearl property.
Menu items like handmade pastries, seasonal toasts, breakfast enchiladas, pancakes, sopes, carnitas tortas, and hill country salads will all be scratch-made and inspired by the seasons.
The team that made Paperboy a hit in East Austin, Ryan Harms and Chef Patrick Jackson, are teaming up with Potluck Hospitality. Though Harms made a mark in Austin with the 2015 launch of the Paperboy food truck, and then brick-and-mortar, he's a San Antonio guy.
“Having grown up in San Antonio, I am particularly excited to be back here, contributing to the city’s dining scene," Harms says in a statement. "We are so proud of what we’ve created with Paperboy in Austin and can’t wait to bring this fresh, yet familiar style of food and hospitality to our guests."
Chef Jackson will be joined by chef de cuisine, Ruvin Samarasundera. Samarasundera's experience includes working with legendary chefs like Thomas Keller and Michael Chiarello.
The Full Goods Team worked with Laura Brittain of Kempt Design Studio and architect Chioco Design to create a warm space that would match the inviting menu. Renderings show plenty of shaded, outdoor space, wooden accents, and a greenhouse-style entry.
The outdoor space will provide front-row viewing of the upcoming Pearl plaza. Full Goods Diner joins a group of new restaurants preparing to open at Pearl. Ladino, a Mediterranean grill house is also coming to San Antonio from an Austin-based hospitality group. Carriqui, a massive new restaurant, is set to open in September in the storied Boehler building. Stable Hall, a new music venue with a beer garden, is scheduled to open in spring 2023.
“We are excited to welcome Full Goods Diner to Pearl,” Pearl CEO Mesha Millsap says in a statement. “Their menu is very reflective of San Antonio and we’re thrilled that they are anchoring Pearl’s new plaza and joining the excellent lineup of culinary concepts in the neighborhood.”
