In September 2024, Bobbie’s Southern Kitchen, also known as Bobbie’s Cafe, opened a new location in the Embassy Oaks shopping center on San Antonio’s Northside.
This expansion came as their longtime spot on South Flores Street closed—part of a plan to eventually reopen in a new Southside location closer to their original roots.
New Location Near Original Home
Nearly a year later, that plan is moving forward. Co-owners Ana and Greg Ferris have been in talks to acquire the former Neptune’s Seafood House building on Goliad Road. On August 6, they announced they officially received the keys to the new storefront.
“We got the keys and went straight to Home Depot to buy supplies to clean, so that’s what we’re doing today—cleaning,” Ana shared. “I have seven storage units filled with stuff I bought at auction, and I’m ready to move in.”
The Neptune’s Seafood House location has been inactive since 2021, and after cleaning and repairs, Bobbie’s plans to open by October 1, 2025.
Returning to the Community
Located at 1922 Goliad Road, the new Bobbie’s Southern Kitchen is just a short drive from their former South Flores home. This move brings the restaurant closer to the loyal customer base on the Southeast Side.
“We love the Southside, and I’m so excited to be there with my community. You can tell when a Southsider walks in—they come in and hug me,” Ana said.
What to Expect
Once open, the new Bobbie’s will offer a menu and hours similar to their Embassy Oaks location, serving up the beloved Southern-style dishes customers know and love.
Bobbie’s Southern Kitchen’s return is more than just a reopening—it’s a heartfelt homecoming for a family and restaurant deeply connected to San Antonio’s culture and community.
