47 Best American Restaurants near San Antonio

“Took a group of friends here who all have very different tastes and somehow everyone left raving. That's the mark of a properly good restaurant in my book. The menu has enough range that nobody felt cornered, and everything we tried was honestly excellent. Staff handled our slightly rowdy table with patience and good humour, never once making us feel awkward. Food came out together, came out right, and we shared bits between us like a proper feast. The bill was a pleasant surprise too — split nicely without any of the usual confusion. Already booked for the next group dinner. A proper crowd-pleaser. Highly recommend it.“

A fantastic spot in Wesley Chapel, we’ll definitely be back“

She & her team did a phenomenal job at my wedding, from the apps to the dinner. Outstanding. I also stop by Dinner’s Ready in Dade City for a home cooked meal when I don’t feel like cooking and it’s always delicious.“

“Cute little country-style café offering a variety of homestyle favorites, from seafood, burgers, fried chicken, pork chops, and roast beef to Latin-inspired dishes like empanadas, black beans and rice, and Cuban sandwiches.

We were excited to try the lobster roll after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately it wasn't available during our visit. The server explained that it's a specialty item offered only occasionally, though it is heavily advertised throughout the restaurant, which was a bit disappointing.

We ordered the cheeseburger, Cuban sandwich, and catfish basket, and all three meals were delicious, filling, and generously portioned. Each entrée also came with a small dessert, which was a nice touch.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable lunch. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was satisfying, and we left full and happy.“

“Diane our server was an absolute blast! Service was quick, but more importantly the food was good! this is a must stop parking lots a little bit small so if you have a big rig, probably not the best spot for you ( ps ask for Diane)

“Jordan was our server Thursday night and he was great! Super attentive without being over the top and really on point the whole night. Gave drink and appetizer suggestions, offered deserts and checked in on us, and was super polite throughout it all. Really good service that didn’t miss a step!“

“If you are looking for top notch food for takeout then this Longhorn is the place. Steak cooked perfect , well seasoned , all entrees carried well back to the house and all the entrees we ordered tasted great . All condiments included, great take out containers. Found my new to go place for takeout food .“

“My husband and I come here frequently but today I had the most helpful young man named Joshua who told me about the senior specials and because of that we will be able to dine here more often 😁 not very many places still have senior discount day anymore. Captain D's is the best!“

“great service and perfect food“

“I have several team and coaches meetings at Glory Days in Wesley Chapel. The food is always good, the service is great and the vibe is right. Great place enjoy food, folks and sports. 🏀🏈⚾️“

“It's been quite a while since I have eaten at waffle house. I walked in during the breakfast night shift change. Immediately greeted with a smile. The cook and the waitress greeted me and asked me for my order. The food was delivered as promised and was excellent. I want to tell you emphatically that it has been so long since I have seen employees so cheerful getting along so well. There must have been at least an employees there during the shift change. Greeting each other warmly. A rarity indeed. That camaraderie is sorely missing from 99% of the restaurants I have been to. Even upon leaving the cook who was leaving his shift greeted me outside and asked me how my food was. I don't know who you're hiring or how you're doing it kudos. I will be back and I will tell my family and friends of my experience. For the great service and great food.“

“We tried Slim Chicken today for the first time. Friendly service from all the employees & the food was delicious. Hubby had the chicken tender meal & I got the spinach wrap with grilled chicken.“

“Awesome place! Natalie is the best!“

“I love beefs wings! But with the good food comes a meh environment. Pretty run down and could use a makeover. Sticky floors, or table was dirty, and smells musty. Otherwise our server was awesome. Food as usual was great. Tap beer is a bit spendy at 6 dollars compared to other places. Overall ok...good food...just have to sacrifice the rest.

P.s. don't put the dips in with the wings... its messy.“

“Customer service was awesome, food was made quickly and delicious. Already planning my next visit.“

“Love the 3 for me 12.99 Old timer with cheese 🧀 plus free chips and salsa with every visit, I can come in and dine in or I can order online pick it up. It’s great both ways. They have some really great servers. Zach is an awesome bartender/server. Josiah is a fantastic manager. He always make sure my burger is cooked too perfection💯 no pink and he definitely make sure you are completely satisfied!!“

“Great spot. Nice rooftop overlooking the sports field and complex center. However…. service for food is slow as they bring up the food from the downstairs kitchen and only one server. We were there at 5:30 as the bar opened at 5:00 pm, we’ve ordered burgers and the waitress apologized and said that they have no burgers left because some kids came before us and ordered burgers. Yes, this actually really happened! Unfortunately the rest of available food was low grade bar food from a very small limited menu. To be very fair: The only good thing was the charcuterie board. Drinks were ok. We really liked this spot. We will give it another chance!“

“The customer service was fantastic! We sat outside and our waitress was very attentive!“
