Elevated brunch classics like omelets, Benedicts, and burgers
"For brunch, I go to Cullum's Attaboy, which nails the weekend ritual with powdered sugar donuts, brisket eggs benedict, and an impressive sparkling wine list meant for sharing." - David Shortell
"Cullum’s Attaboy reads like an old-school diner, from the waitstaff’s paper hats to the (faux) crystal ice cream dishes. But the option to sip an espresso martini while waiting for a table feels a lot more modern. This French-ish brunch spot serves dishes like escargot along with buttery omelettes and pancakes, and the best way to eat here is to lean into both sides of the menu. A single perfectly cooked scallop with smoked trout roe is a memorable, if odd, teaser before digging into a wonderfully greasy burger or the BEC, both on plush brioche. Finish off with something suitably classic, like Mom’s Cheesecake served in giant slices with syrup-drenched berries." - Kris Seavers
"A neighborhood favorite with a retro edge, Cullum’s Attaboy evokes the charm of a classic American diner—but with a chef-driven twist. The leather barstools, the checkered floors, the hiss of the griddle—it’s all there, familiar and comforting. This is food made with both sincerity and an obsessive eye for execution, the kind of place where something as simple as a pancake becomes an argument for perfection." - Lee Escobedo
"Although this Bib Gourmand brunch favorite has a contemporary counter-service model, the fare leans on the popular dishes of yesteryear. Chef Chris Collum combines brasserie classics like French omelets with odes to San Antonio’s culinary past, including a take on potato flour Spudnuts. Order a caviar bump and a shot for a no-fuss riff on fine dining." - Brandon Watson
"Chef Chris Cullum’s ode to old San Antonio would undoubtedly make the late James Beard beam. Harkening to the gracious hospitality of the ’50s and ’60s, Attaboy is an elegant supper club disguised as a counter-service brunch spot. The omelets, Benedicts, and breakfast sandwiches are exceptional." - Brandon Watson
