When we first moved to San Antonio back in 1988 my dad would come home with Brenda’s Burgers. They use to be located off of Marbach Rd and Military. That is the location my dad would get our burgers and fries from. Their burgers are… ||| In my opinion, an average burger joint. The food was fine but service was slow, even at the end of the “lunch hour”.To be honest, I felt the burger was comparable to What-a-Burger. I got the Special burger, which is essentially the What-a-Burger jalapeno…
My first visit to Shack Shake was both good and bad. The good part was the hamburger had really good flavor, but it was a very small Burger. The hot dog was served cold. I did like the french fries they served but I don’t… ||| I have been to locations in NYC and CT and this was my first trip to SA location. They have some local touches in their beer selection and are using Abita (New Orleans) root beer for the floats. My nephew had told me about the…
Excellent dinner. Varied menu that changes daily. Great wine list. Our server was amazing. He was always around but not overbearing. We had a wonderful warm spinach salad and a beet salad. DH had vinison and quail. I had a perfectly cooked ribeye. Also had… ||| We had a business dinner at Abigail on the banks. We had appetizers of chorizo empanadas, Crab cakes, and wild game spring rolls. The Star was the spring rolls. Wild turkey, venison, and ostrich Topped with a red sauce. OMG. One of the best things…
This was our second timing dining here and will be the last. The products are great in the gift shop but the ladies are not. Shopped here on Saturday after Black Friday and asked about the Black Friday deals offered on FB (30% off I… ||| While visiting San Antonio we were told the Guenther House was a great place to eat. It was outstanding. In fact, it was so good the first time we decided to go back for a second visit. The service was wonderful and the food was…
After being up all night, then flying in to San Antonio, I was hungry as soon as I arrived. I was in the parking lot when they opened. While I have ate at Cheddar’s before, the one in my town generally has not had the… ||| Brought my family to eat dinner here and were were disappointed. Took over 50 minutes to get our food. Ordered drinks, sent 2 of them back because they were nasty. Wasn’t impressed with our waitress at all. Gravy was ice cold. Steak was cooked medium…
Went to Big’Z Burgers and grabbed dinner with the kids and some friends and their kids. Big’Z serves huge burgers – I initially mistook the kids’ burgers for my wife’s and mine! And they are scrumptious – definitely try their chalupa burger, which is a… ||| I took my kids here after seeing it on the Zimmern List TV show. We very very happy with our experience here. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the food was top notch. If you are in the mood for a burger,…
My brother and I decided it was time for Thai food. Having seen Mon Thai for many years we decided to give it a try. For an appetizer I selected calamari. It was tender, but larger cuts than I prefer. No tentacles – just the… ||| This spot is tucked away in a shady complex off Broadway in Alamo Heights. Outdoor dining is available, but it was too hot to enjoy it during our last visit. The owner is charming and friendly, but the vast menu doesn’t deliver on its promises….
This is the breakfast place at the Marriott Riverwalk in SA. I ate there during a stay, it was part of my elite package and I could upgrade and get the omelette bar for $5 a person, which I did. There are sparse offerings on… ||| We wife and I are staying in the Marriott Riverwalk where the cafe is located. We ate breakfast, had room service dinner and a room service breakfast. I generally don’t expect much from hotel restaurants but I was totally shocked by how delicious the food…
Went to Oscars for lunch with my wife and we had a horrible experience. The server was polite and attentive too bad the food was subpar! My wife had the puffy tacos amd i had a burger with onion rings. The tacos were cold and… ||| I have visited this small restaurant for years. I am so grateful that the super yummy puffy tacos have not changed. Don’t expect a new and fancy restaurant because you won’t find it here. What you will find is wonderful Mexican food!! I am Hispanic…
We stayed in an Airbnb in the King William Historical District just a couple blocks from Tito’s Mexican Restaurant. We tried it for breakfast one morning and loved it. Excellent food, excellent coffee and friendly and helpful staff. We noticed everyone else in the restaurant… ||| Enjoyed a breakfast and dinner here with family and they said it was much better than the overpriced Mexican food on the Riverwalk. Decent portion sizes and minimal wait times for food. The homemade churros were an unexpected delight. I left off one star because…
