H-E-B’s new restaurant is big on events

Free kids’ meals, happy hour and Sunday brunch are among the many promotional events at H-E-B’s new "3 Double-O Nine" restaurant and bar.

What makes the one month-old restaurant unique is that chef Randy Evans, the company’s just-named director of restaurants, designed the menu.

The restaurant also features a full bar stocked with Texas craft beer and more than 70 different spirits.

Located in the Schertz H-E-B Plus store in San Antonio, the establishment serves Texas-style Brisket that's slow-smoked in-house for 13 hours, Korean fried chicken and Creole entrees.

Promotional events are held virtually every day of the week.

Mondays are “Margarita Mondays,” during which frozen margaritas cost $5 and rock margaritas, $6.

Each Thursday, children under 12 eat free with an additional $8 purchase. On select kids nights, there are balloon artists and face painters. The restaurant even features a kids’ play area.

Live music is featured every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And every Friday, it hosts Happy Hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during which it offers $1 Texas craft brews, $1 off select wines and $2 off select appetizers.

For Mother’s Day, moms could eat free with the purchase of meal of equal or greater value. The event also featured live entertainment and a mimosa bar.

As reported, the restaurant is named after the exit number (3009) that a driver would take on San Antonio’s Farm to Market road to get to the restaurant. It is H-E-B’s second restaurant in San Antonio and fourth chainwide. H-E-B reportedly plans to operate six such concepts by end of 2016.

Evans formerly ran Haven, Houston's first green-certified restaurant, which closed last summer. He served as a consultant to H-E-B prior to officially joining the company, according to a report.
