Frost Bank Center (formerly the AT&T Center) sits on a large parking-lot campus east of downtown San Antonio, so aside from the arena’s own concourse vendors (Whataburger, Rock & Brews, etc.), there’s little within walking distance. The restaurants below are real neighborhood spots on the East Side that require a short drive or rideshare. Distances and ratings come from Google Maps.
