50 Best American Restaurants near Alamo

“Staff is always friendly and attentive.. prices are great along with the food. Great environment and music especially when live bands are here. Not to mention clean restrooms which is rare in the bar scene. Love the improvements they have made as well. Highly recommend this bar. Has a great atmosphere. Isaac the manager was even nice enough to introduce himself and ask about our experience.“

“Food is amazing! Prices are mid, not too expensive but a good dollar. Only thing that I didn't expect or approve of is the sit down service system. (Full Service) imstead of a counter service. I really liked just ordering and getting my own refills and not worrying about a server. Food is still one of my favorite burgers, but it's just that Sit down service that isn't my approval as a customer.“

“not getting better ....so sad- it use to be really good“

“We went through the drive through and they explained every item on the menu to us since it was our first time. Then we sat in the little play area and ate. The cheese sticks, gizzards were fantastic but OMG!!!! The funnel cake I had ( Kevin Bacon) was to die for. I can’t wait to go again. I highly recommend this place ♥️

Kid-friendliness: My grandkids lost their minds with how big their treats were. Plus they got to play while they waited and played during and played after. I actually got to enjoy my treats because they were entertained. Very fun place!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in McAllen“

“We found these guys by mistake looking for another sweet-tooth location...I had no idea this Mom and Pop diner existed...they have anything you would want and everything is homemade (is everything homemade ? Lol). All our meals were delicious. We recommend it all. Thank you for an enjoyable meal and experience.“

“Friendliness and respect is not common among most diners, yet here at Dennys San Juan, Texas of The Rio Grande Valley Of Southern Texas it’s very much included! What’s the best way to start,A meal? I would say is to be included and made felt like family! That’s what you Shure would find- here at Denny’s, along with a hot, ready,made meal just the way you order!“

“The food was awesome and really delicious and the service was great and the staff was friendly and really enjoyed it This is a great Restaurant“

“stopped in for lunch after arriving in town. Delinah was exceptional. She had a smile and attention to detail for menu items was pleasurable. It is nice to see someone excited to be working and enjoy the surroundings.“

“Ok. So we went to Red Lobster to try their new seafood boil bag. We've been loyal Mr Crabbys seafood boil bag customers for 5 years. Finding really great seafood outside of NH is hard. So hard..... Until now. The RL boil bag is far superior. Here's why: 1. The seasoning is just right. Choice of garlic & butter or Cajun. Got the Cajun- because that's the only seasoning in a proper boil bag that's acceptable. 1a. The seasoning is far better as it's not drowning in oil- causing constant crab splatters. 1b. The seasoning does not overpower the taste of the seafood like Mr Crabbys does. You can actually taste the lobster- shrimp and crab. 2. The bag comes with 6 more shrimp (12 total) than Mr Crabbys 6. The lobster tail is split fully in half rather than just slashed down the top spine- making it difficult at Mr Crabbys to pull the meat out in one swipe. (That's what she said) 3. The bag does NOT come with sausage if you order the Mariners Bag. However it can be added. Here's the closer- it's REAL Andouille sausage- not kielbasa. Me Crabbys has been using kielbasa the last few times we went. If you know the difference in flavor- you'll understand why this matters. 4. I wore my bib cuz I'm accustomed to having the food drip all over me as I crack and work for my reward. It was not needed. Even with dumping the bag into the tray- it was not over saturated in oil- but rather delicately seasoned with butter. Over all- we have a new Sunday Boil Bag date location. I never thought I'd stray from Mr Crabbys- but shockingly- Red Lobster has become the affair worth having. They did good with hiring this new CEO who brought this brain child to my beloved Maine lobster Locale here in the Deep South. If yall see this- please- from this coastal New England girl trying to get a nut in the RGV.....don't ever drop this from the menu. Sincerely Your newest fan.“

“Jesse Gonzalez the manager was very attentive, kept refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything.“

“Came to celebrate my birthday 🎂 and sat at the bar. Julio took great care of us and offered great recommendations. The cherry on top was the manager Julia Fox brought me a lovely gift of cookies to go and a coupon for next time I visit. They made me feel so special and appreciated. Amazing service, food and value. I love me some Cheddar's!“

“I had a good experience at Denny’s restaurant on University Drive In Edinburg this morning. Samantha, our server, constantly checked on us. She always made sure to be cheerful and attentive. Cassie, a server not assigned to us, had an ever-present smile. Her smile radiated so brightly that it lit up the mood of my friend and me. These two young ladies made our visit to this place extremely pleasant. I recommend sitting at the bar. The bar is where the staff assembles to retrieve their orders. It is where you will always see smiling faces. Here is where they have more of an opportunity to face you and gift you with a kind comment or beam another bright smile in your direction.“

“Sidebar is our go to restaurant for fine dining. Amazing food, the best drinks, delicious food, and wonderful waitstaff. Our favorite anniversary spot.“

“Muy rico, tranquilo, la atención excelente por parte de nuestra mesera Lety.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Santa Fe. The food was perfect and the service was excellent! Carlos, our server, was polite, friendly, and well informed about the menu items. The lobster bisque could not have been any better. This is an upper-class restaurant, but you get what you pay for.“

“Está muy bien, lo único que piden mejorará es el personal está del caos no todos pero si varios y también que tengan doctor peper“

“I will definitely visit again. The service, food and cocktails were all outstanding.“

“I recommend La Eloteca when you’re craving that “elote en vaso” fix. I like that you have several topping options to enjoy that treat. However, folks.. Please have your food prep staff/workers change gloves after handling money or touching the checkout screen. The same checkout screen your customers touch. I was so turned off that I had to remind the female worker to change her gloves after she handled cash, the screen, then touched the opening of the bottle where the crema and mayo come out of. That’s cross contamination. She needs to retake that food handlers course again.“

“Had a good time. Our server was great“

“great selection of food. great and friendly service good price“

“First timers! And we don’t regret coming here! Super great service and great food!! Will come back again for sure🙏“

“But not the drive-thru... it's always been a good restaurant, but the morning drive-thru is disappointing. It took 32 minutes for a sandwich, I had to move to the parking lot and go in and get it. (The sandwich and coffee were good, but cost $13.10.)“

“Josue was a great waiter! Came for dinner with friends & had a great time! Great food & great service“

“Okay first bar uptown completely impressed by the staff are very polite , tables are clean , restrooms clean and music was great! Although I would have loved to make content in this club and not have the waiters yelling in the middle of songs . Maybe find a different method then the microphone like a ticket service. Over all 10/10 will be coming back .Great night !“

“Best coffee in the area. Large space, good for working on your computer. Our favorite for coffee and tea. Hope they add some sugar free or low sugar snack items for the high number of local diabetics.“

“We were in the area wanting some local food and found it. (Little bit hidden, well for those unfamiliar with the city.) It was good, ordered the special and we finished everything. We went when it was calm and quiet which we didn't mind for the long day we had. Anyways if I'm ever in the area again we will definitely go once more.“

“good tasting food. excellent service. Abel was great. thanks 😊“

“Our first visit to this unique speak-easy restaurant. It was 5pm on a Tues, so it was not busy and very quiet. Server was friendly and attentive. My husband loved the ribs and would order them again. I had the chicken with kimchi rice and I wouldn't order it again. I was warned it was spicy and I told the server I will be fine as long as my water glass is always full. My water glass was empty twice and only refilled once. The Brussel sprouts were perfection; spicy, yet sweet, and nicely crunchy.“

“We cannot recommend enough! Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. The homemade pasta is something you dream of.“

“First time here with my coworkers & we had a great time. Service was amazing, our server, John kept making sure we were good with drinks etc. Food was great, we had the classic sliders appetizer with fries, the four cheese Spinach dip with chips and the carne asada taco combo... 10/10 recommend ♡ definitely coming back!“

“Best Reuben I’ve ever had!!“

“But not the drive-thru... it's always been a good restaurant, but the morning drive-thru is disappointing. It took 32 minutes for a sandwich, I had to move to the parking lot and go in and get it. (The sandwich and coffee were good, but cost $13.10.)“

“I've never met them, but through some business dealings I learned that the owner of this place is, I think, a 2nd generation restaurant owner and from everything I've seen and heard, they are really good people. The food is great quality and the prices are totally decent. This place is definitely worth a try.“

“We stumbled upon this place through the help of Google Maps and were impressed from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, the staff were friendly and offered exceptional service. Their food menu offered a variety of breakfast and lunch plates - all great food!“

“Stopped by today and the food was delicious. they have a variety of items to choose from. we had the chicken plate and cheeseburger combo. If yall haven't tried it, stop by, you won't regret it.“

“Loved this burger place!! Don't expect great decor or ambiance just great food!! Gigantic burger left no room for the sides but that didn't stop us from trying their fries and onion rings!! The meat is so delicious!!! Everything was great!!! If you are a local expect a large lunch rush because our winter Texans love this joint!!!! Can't wait to come again!!“
