“We had the pleasure of being waited on by Keba last week. He was very friendly, and took the time to go over all of the new items on the menu. He informed us that this location is a “tester location”, so they have more options on their menu than other locations in San Antonio. Highly recommend the redfish - it was delicious.“

“It’s been years since I ate at Jim’s, and was a first time for my boyfriend.Not sure if the location is understaffed or this is just how they run but the right section was shut down and the left section was completely full.We had to wait quite a while for a table and we were the only ones in the lobby. Some of the waitresses appeared a little frazzled.The waitresses that sat and served us (I didn’t get her name) she was younger with blue hair and she did amazing! She came to the table, calm and collected, at the right moments and was working her butt off table to table the entire time.We orderedFried Mushrooms (white gravy)We orderedChicken and Swiss with mashed potatoes (brown gravy) and okraClassic Hamburger with fries1 cup Tortilla Soup and 1 cup Canadian Cheese SoupThe food was 10/10. We both agreed that the flavor of the food was outstanding.Kid-friendliness: They are absolutely kid friendly! Just ask them about how kids eat free!“

“Very nice family Dinner type. The food was Excellent,The guacamore burger was very nice, buns are toasted and buttered, the fries are sprinkled with somegthing secret and tasty.I only gave 4 start because the restaurant was a little smokey and l think their extract system needs to be looked at.Quite a few famillies with their kids.Over all very nice atmosphere. Will visit again.Parking: Located in a shopping center next to Sonic on bandera“

“The food is so freaking good! We had brunch recently and from the cocktails, pastry, main entree to dessert everything was delicious! Highly recommend the scallops with the leek risotto. Don't get me started on the pastry board and berries & cream...so yummy. Their dinner service is also devine! It was worth every penny!! Make sure to make a reservation“

“I've been here twice now (in one week). The first time I got the strawberry cheesecake shake and was very pleased with what I got. The flavor was amazing, texture great and the perfect amount of "cake" mix. Today I went back for a burger mean, and the shake. The price is amazing for the food you get and the burger was absolutely delicious. The fries were perfectly salted. I cannot rave enough about this place. If you're lucky enough to get Dominic when you go up to order, he is very helpful also.“

“1lb snow crab spicy was delicious and oooff I'd have more if I could to be honest.Catfish basket also really good.Service was good other than forgetting things 3x.Drinks were on point as well as the atmosphere.Honest opinion as someone with a baby to find an almost falling apart changing table was awful. Had to use my knee to hold it together, just no. That's a huge safety hazard infant/toddlers can get hurt. You guys need to change it ASAP, and if the mens one is the same, likewise.Parking: The free lot is very spacious.Kid-friendliness: Sandbox kid friendly for sure, vending machines as well.“

“Food is good and fresh! I love the Oysters on the half shell and their Oysters Rockefeller. The Salmon is always perfectly cooked! Drinks are great and hubby says the beer is nice and cold! Sitting outside or at the bar is our favorite place to sit. Nice place to visit if you haven't been by give em a try. Their service is good and you can't beat the Mimosa priced at $4.00.“

“Food was good, loved the lobster tail and Mac and cheese. Service was not the best, our waiter seemed like she didn't want to be there. This was our first date as an engaged couple and we were so excited to try this place but I felt like our experience could've been better. Our table wobbled, and we had to ask to be moved. We saw other waiters go above and beyond for other couples celebrating anniversary's and birthdays.“

“Brit was amazing!! Every time I come here this restaurant does a great job at atmosphere, service, and cleanliness. She recommend the lobster roll and it was so good. The food was warm and the drinks were cold! Definitely coming again to see her“

“Amazing gluts and service for a local they thought was a country bumpkin!OUTSTANDING sweet, coffee flavored water for asthma!Way too loud, for me, because I've always used live cartridges for hearing protection, like my Godfather, Uncle Remy, taught me. He was SMPD. LOVE YOU REMY!Wish they would allow OC since they allow CC, according to the signage, but hear no evil, speak no evil see no evil, seems to be their way.Write in Chairman Craig T. Schiebel, RPBC Pct 3006, for Bexar County Sherif!“

“A very clean establishment.Ordered the bacon deluxe cheeseburger combo, order of curds, and a chocolate custard with espresso.The buttery burger is delicious but greasy. The bacon is flavorful but doesn't overwhelm the burger taste. The size is good.Fries are crinkle. Mine were a bit too salty. They will redo if you ask but I didn't care to because the burger was big enough to fill me up.The frozen custard is a perfect combo of melted like a shake with decent amounts of spoon scouping custard. The espresso was a fabulous touch.The cheese curds are addicting!We were there an hour before closing and everything was fresh and hot.So overall, just like my heart shaped cheese curd, I concur... love this place.“

“Everything was AMAZING! It was our first time here and we were welcomed with "Oyster nachos" and a few soups to try out. All of the items were so delicious. My wife's recommendation is the "Lobster Bisque", and mine is the "Gumbo". Our waitress Amal, was amazing, funny, and very professional. Highly recommend this place if you want great seafood at an amazing price.“

“Love the food here,Everything is always Hot and Fresh and So delicious! The severs are always attentive and I appreciate that the manager will stop by and check on us as well. The place is always clean when we come by. Always a great time at this Willie’s,Will return soon“

“First time coming to a Willie’s and it was very nice! Some of the food seemed a bit bland for my taste (I’m use to overly seasoned Louisiana Cajun boil) but this place is real nice! The loaded fries are super good and the sides are great, fried pickles were my favorite started and I tried the shrimp taco while my wife had the ribeye taco!The volume level was surprisingly nice, it wasn’t overly loud but still had that bar vibe to it. My wife and mom don’t like really loud restaurants but they both made comments on how nice it was to be in there!“

“Was just looking for a place to eat without much fuss. Much better than expected! Both the service was excellent and the food.We got kids chicken nuggets, chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, fish n chips, fried pickle chips, and margarita. We were impressed with all the food! Also multiple servers/bussers stopped by to assist us with things as we were needing them. We don’t like being bothered frequently. It was a really good balance of attentive without hovering :)Kid-friendliness: Quick to help with getting extra silverware for baby and assisted when her bottle rolled a few feet away“

“had a decent experience at yard house. our server was kinda passive aggressive and would turn away before i’d finish talking. she was nice but felt like there was tension.the bathrooms are super dark! i’m not sure what that’s about but the stalls you could barely see!the food…honestly for the price we paid, didn’t really live up to my expectations. i got the blue cheese burger cooked medium but there was no pink to it and was pretty dry. there wasn’t much blue cheese on it, and i thought it was gonna be blue cheese and bacon crumbles but the blue cheese was like melted mixed with bacon crumbles.“

“The Great American legend right here in San Antonio. It does not seem to have that special something that an In-n-Out actually in California has (maybe it's something in the water?) BUT, if you're a recent expat from the Golden State and have a hankering for something Animal Style, this will get the job done.Parking: There is only one way in and one way out serving more than one business. It can be a little frustrating when there is a line and multiple cars are coming and going.“

“The music was a bit loud for me... otherwise everything was excellent Jasmine, our server, was amazing!I love the fried pickles because they are thin and really crisp and the onion rings and burger were to die for!Parking: They have their own parking with plenty of handicap up front.“

“Initially my wife was given her salad and it was not at the normal quality that Whiskey Cake delivers but boy did they go the extra mile to make it right! Jenny, comped my wife’s salad and on top of that gave her a FREE pink drink to go for our wedding anniversary! Thank you Whiskey Cake for the top notch service. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Always enjoy eating there, food good. I marked service down, when we sat down at a table, right next to us was a crying baby. Asked our server if we could move, other table and booths were open...she told us no...that they were already reserved. So had to endure the screaming and crying trying to enjoy breakfast“

“First time visiting. This place is fun! The food was delicious! Ethan and Catherine were patient, friendly and helpful when ordering the food. Brisa, who served our food was friendly and made sure we were taken care of and refilled our drinks!! We ordered half a rack of ribs, chicken and waffles and BBQ mac and cheese and fried pickles. For dessert we ordered 2 bookies! The food was delicious!!! We played boccee ball, ping pong and other games! It was so much fun!!!“

“First time ordering from this To Go location tonight & I’ll probably start more often from my experience today. The location was clean, staff was friendly and food was fresh and delicious. The thing that stood out the most is as soon as I entered I was acknowledged and greeted. Continue to keep up the great work!“

“Our server was Grace And she was awesome. She didn't only serve us but we were able to talk to her about life. She told us about her family. We shared about ours. It was just a great time. She's just a great person all around and definitely. A good sister to her brother Thank you Grace And thank you Red Lobster “

“I heard good things about their beer, so I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. I'm a big fan of German and Belgian style beers and that appears to be their specialty. The Tripel Volunteer was pretty authentic for a Belgian Tripel. However, the MKII Doppelbock fell well short of an authentic German Doppelbock... it went flat in a hurry, tasting as if it spent some time in a whiskey barrel, and also had a smell of vinegar on the nose. Even so, I recommend Longtab as a good craft beer venue. Prompt friendly service. I'm a veteran and I give these veterans a big thumbs up!“

“This place is perfect for travelers and locals alike. I sat at the bar both times I went, it was that great I went twice in one week. Fantastic bar staff, friendly and great at making you feel welcomed. Even the regulars were great, nice folks that were happy to chat or leave you alone, your choice! Food was great each night, served hot and fresh and without issue. It's well decorated and super clean, couldn't ask for a better place to have some dinner and a few cold drinks..“

“First time in TR, great service! even the manager went to our table checking if we were good! We had to wait for an hour but I heard there is an APP where you can add yourself to the waiting list. Couldn't finish my steak (I was full), I wanted it well done but still had some red in it, but the taste was perfect. I already missed TR. They really make you feel special.Parking: Had to park in front of the chicken wings restaurant, it's far but not that far.“

“We went to The Rustic today, and are so glad we did. They have a “Jam and Toast Brunch” on Sunday. It is a lot of food for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed migas, French toast bites, biscuits and gravy, a jicama and cucumber salad, thick-sliced pepper bacon, fried chicken, freshly cut fried potatoes and lemon bars.The standouts were the migas. They were prepared an unorthodox way, but they were delicious nonetheless. The potatoes were perfectly done and were covered with a delicious sauce. The peppered bacon slice was substantial. The small biscuits were a little dense, but the cream gravy was great. Our only complaint was the front doors and the large garage doors were open to hear the live music. Their solution was to offer blankets, a nice touch, but it was not enough to knock off the chill in the restaurant.We will look forward to returning to The Rustic for brunch again.“

“boyfriend and i frequent this place often for casual date nights & love it every time. however, i just wanted to commend ashley the waitress! every time we come here we ask for ranch on the side for our fries & it never comes with the order so we have to ask our server again (it's a benign request, i totally understand why everyone forgets it & place absolutely no fault on anyone). but today we were pleasantly surprised that the ranch came with our food in the basket- she remembered! additionally, throughout our entire time there, ashley was so smiley & personable & caring! from one food service gal to another: you're amazing!!!“

“One of our favorite places for a great steak and sides Came here to celebrate our family’s birthday .. Steaks were perfectly cooked and sides were delicious ?.. only thing that was a bummer .. our family member didn’t get a free dessert .. now we did buy one but no writing on the plate as we’ve received in the past .. other then me being a little sensitive we will always come back to LongHorn Steakhouse.“

“Best Oriental Chicken Salad I have had in a long time!! The staff and Manager Josh are awesome our sever Tovona, was the BEST!! We go to other Applebees and they are nothing compared to this Location on Bandera and 1604 in San Antonio. We will be back!! I would show you a pic but was so good I ate it all ?“

“I brought some family from out of town here and everyone loved it. It's a really nice atmosphere all around and feels casual yet modern at the same time. Our service was great, very fast and friendly! Our server came by to refill our coffee and waters quickly. I got the snooze classic which was really delicious. Others in my table got the pork belly with poached egg on an English muffin which was tasty too! We also got a pancake platter which comes with 3 pancakes: pineapple, sweet potato, and blueberry. They were all incredibly unique and rich with flavor. I didn't think I'd like them because I'm not a fan of fancy pancakes with extra stuff on them but it was actually quite delightful. Price-wise dishes are around $13-$25. And they have a drink menu for boozy breakfast drinks but we didn't have any. Next time!“

“This restaurant is awesome! Their food is always on point, and they have such big variety it's hard to choose what you want because you want to get everything that's on there, lol. My only complaint is the tables are too close together, but you have to enjoy the all you can eat meal, at a great price!“

“Teddy B's burgers might appear a little pricey but when you get your burger you'll understand the price matches the quality and quantity of the food. Absolutely amazing avocado burger however I took away one star because the side order of cucumber slices that I got instead of the french fries were EH to say the least. I gave atmosphere one star for the simple fact that the music was so loud I could not even talk to my husband without yelling and we were sitting next to each other. That is beyond annoying and definitely prevented me from wanting to stay and dine in so we took our food to go. Listen to your music as loud as you want but please please please turn it down when customers come in. We dine in because we're seeking a peaceful place to eat and not everybody likes the same music. Had it not been for that I would have given the atmosphere five stars.“

“The food was amazing. Seen this place alot and never really looked like something I would enjoy. But I was wrong, great food that brought me back to my days when you visit an old fashion joint. The burger had perfect seasoning and the fries were off the chart. Definitely coming back to this place. Thanks to the staff.“

“Came here for lunch. Our waiter's name was Hector, Hector was very helpful in explaining the steaks. I asked for his recommendation on what steak to order. I went with the T-Bone. I must say it was an excellent choice, it was cooked perfectly. Thank you Hector for the great advice and excellent service.“

“This place was so tasty and trendy! This was a nice spot that made ordering easy and received my food rather quickly. The food was fresh and hit different palate notes salty, spicy, savory, crispy and crunchy! Putting that egg on the dish was decedent just topped it off for me! I was glad to have had that dish. Parking was easy.“

“Mae Dunne has to be the best brunch establishment in San Antonio! Pro tip: try to make reservation 24 hours in advance on weekends. Even without, they’ve usually been able to accommodate our groups within 30 minutes or less.The interior dining and private party room are warm and earthy, with rustic, vintage inspired design. We love dining al fresco on the patio with an Aperol Spritz or latte, under striped parasols, giving a breezy, Mediterranean aesthetic. The overall impression is a cozy, well-curated space that blends historical elements with modern furnishings and decor.The food is outstanding, with a variety of fresh, delicious options to choose from, with a wide spectrum of sweet and savory. Specialty cocktails are expertly crafted, and meticulously prepared with high-quality ingredients and careful attention to detail, that perfectly complement the brunch menu.While everything is amazing , we rave about the crab cake eggs Benedict, short ribs (the entree, tacos, or on eggs Benedict), chilaquiles, Turkish eggs toast, French toast, and tres leches.Drinks are paired well with specialty coffees, teas, and juices, fresh and made to order. For a boozy brunch, the classic carajillo, espresso martini, and Miggy French are spectacular; elevated and refreshing.This spot is the ultimate destination for homemade brunch delights in town. We keep coming back for the unparalleled friendly service, and delicious food made with care; it stands out as the best brunch spot around. It's a true gem where guests can savor homemade dishes that exude warmth and comfort, making every visit a memorable experience for brunch lovers. Thank you Mae Dunne, we look forward to seeing you again soon!“

“Never been here before but a friend recommended and it definitely did not disappoint!!! Brought me and my family and the place was so nice!!! Drinks were delicious and so was the food delicious. Our server Logan was a real treat!! Made us feel very welcome for your first time. Can’t wait to come back and see him again!!“

“The younger girl at the reception counter was not cool, maybe tired or hungry, I don't know but she just told me "wait for your text message" in a cold manner, no empathy at all. Please talk to that staff, they are your first impression. My wife said the "donuts" (bread balls) were overcooked (see picture), but I like everything well done, so they were good for me. The "michelada" is a 5 out of 10, but ok, a least they have it. Everything else was great as always. They removed a fee that was wrong, the lady at the bays was very kind, she looked like a supervisor or something. My children enjoyed it, we'll keep visiting Top Golf for sure! Thanks ;)“

“Had a great experience at this establishment, shout out to our waiter Jonathon for his outstanding service! He was very accommodating, patient, and friendly! The service and atmosphere is welcoming for all guests and we do appreciate the speedy service!!“

“So, after my last 10 visits, I decided it was time to update my review.I love the \service because it's always with a smile!! The food is on point, and the verdict is still out on the sweet tea. My only other point of contention is that there isn't enough inside seating. But it's OKAmazing, come back!! Best described as,Gotta wanna needa getta have a Bojangles!!“

“A nice alternative to all the chain options near the SA airport. Considering it is in a strip mall area it does a nice job utilizing the outside space for tables. Food portions were great for the price. Two meals and two extra sides cost me $33. Everything seems fresh and was tasty. Everyone front staff at register, food runners, to those tidying tables were nice and helpful.Bonus: we wanted to hang and chat well after we finished eating and had no trouble doing so.“

“Every First Watch I've been to has kept up with my expectations. Everything is delicious and the Baja Turkey Burger is one of my go to orders. It is possibly my favorite turkey burger at a restaurant.Staff are helpful and very friendly. Just remember the lunch rush can get quite packed. But it is worth the wait in my opinion.“

“I really loved the atmosphere and food here. They serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Their special menu caters to the different seasons. They also have a regular menu they serve all year round. I tried the eggs sausage omelette plate and it was delicious. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits plate and that was good as well. Looking forward to trying their summer plates.“

“Great customer service the gentleman was very outstanding outgoing checked up on us he was very respectful the food could've been more better the eggs were over cooked now the berry waffles were good we would go back to that location only to be serviced by the gentleman“

“At this Longhorn Restaurant they all know what it takes to satisfy their customers & with a very welcoming smile,, I go out of my way to eat here,,Thank you all for an amazing dining experience,, I give You All 5 Stairs out of 5 ?...The longhorn on 281 south & Stone Oak Pkwy could learn some customer service from the above !!!!Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Tried this place (to go) for the first time & man, I will NEVER go back to Whataburger or any other burger joint. This burger did not disappoint at all. I’m not a pickle lover but these pickles made the burger BETTER. They have those quality pickles. Burgers were big and juicy as well. No need for a “double meat” the single meat had me full by half way. The fries were decent (I’m not a big fan of thick fries) but overall such an amazing experience. What a hidden Gem!“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at Mash’d! Their chicken and biscuits are beyond compare. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked to juicy perfection, while the biscuits are flaky and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave fully satisfied. Combine that with their cozy atmosphere and attentive service, and you have a dining experience worth raving about. Five stars all the way for Mash’d and their amazing chicken and biscuits!“

“the food is mostly great, the kitchen is always slow. we have been there plenty of times in the AM because the chicken is gooood the waffles are ok but the chicken is good. but every single time the food takes for ever even if it just an omelette. swrveres are always nice prices are good . just keep in mind that food takes some time after you order.“
