Credit: Courtesy Photo \/ Ginger&#8217;s Bistro<\/p>\n<p>Veteran-owned Ginger\u2019s Bistro will open this fall in the Stone Oak area, bringing another locally owned dining option to chain-heavy TPC Parkway.<\/p>\n<p>Started by Army vet John Lopez and his wife Sharrah, Ginger\u2019s Bistro will feature a menu that blends classic comfort dishes with Cajun-inspired flavors such as crawfish etouffee. Diners can look forward to gumbo, meatloaf, fried chicken, Mexican dishes and a weekend brunch featuring a variety of mimosas.<\/p>\n<p>The bar at Ginger\u2019s, 4250 TPC Parkway,\u00a0Suite 106, will offer craft cocktails plus a curated wine selection along with outdoor patio seating that overlooks the nearby JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to create a community space where people can gather, relax and enjoy great food,\u201d John Lopez told the Current. \u201cWe thought it would be a great local spot for JW Marriott employees to enjoy after work since we\u2019re so close by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning JW Marriott served as the primary space for elevated dining options on TPC Parkway, which is dominated by out-of-town chains. <\/p>\n<p>However, slowly but surely, the street is developing more local flavor thanks to dining spots such as Ravello Italian Cuisine, located a short distance from Ginger\u2019s.\u00a0Casa Morgana Gelatos, a Los Balitos Taco Shop and laidback bar Puzzles Tavern are also located further down the thoroughfare.<\/p>\n<p>What inspired the name of Ginger\u2019s Bistro?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a tribute to my favorite redhead!\u201d John Lopez said, explaining the moniker is an homage to his wife and main source of inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finish-out work on Ginger\u2019s is expected to wrap up in early October. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacurrent.com\/sanantonio\/NewsletterSignup\/Page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe to SA Current newsletters.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Follow us:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/TiFMu3wPkRj6PC4xS5L36bg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple News<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWE5oWTNWeWNtVnVkQzVqYjIwb0FBUAE?hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google News<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbreak.com\/@c\/1599768?s=01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NewsBreak<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SanAntonio_Current\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/sacurrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sacurrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>| <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SAcurrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0| Or sign up for our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacurrent.com\/sanantonio\/Syndication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RSS Feed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Related Stories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacurrent.com\/food-drink\/st-anthony-hotels-new-food-honcho-wins-with-approachable-fare-at-anacacho-coffee-cantina\/\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1757369490_159_AnachachoPic.jpg\" class=\"attachment-newspack-article-block-landscape-medium size-newspack-article-block-landscape-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"St. Anthony Hotel\u2019s new food honcho wins with approachable fare at Anacacho Coffee &amp;
