"I adore all of my fans in Texas, and bringing my Southern cooking to San Antonio is something I have dreamed about for years. This is the perfect place to bring together family, friends and great Southern food – three of my favorite things," Deen said in a news release.

The restaurant boasts 275 seats and a retail shop with a replica of Deen's kitchen.
