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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Idk what happened yesterday, but the food was not as good. The bread from a burger was cold, the potato soups were cold, the soda tasted like bad. It wasn’t like that before. They did replace the soups but we were not hungry for it anymore“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.)“

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

“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.“

“My family and I went to Siempre Natural on Jackson. It was our first time going. The restaurant was very clean and the table was clean. The cashier was was very nice and helpful great customer service. Mickaela was nice and sweet lady. I would love to go back to that Siempre Natural on Jackson. 👍😁“

“Came to eat their turkey dinner before Thanksgiving day. It was superb!! All the trimmings were delicious. Hillary and Leslie were wonderful, catering to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Souvenirs are cute.“

“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.“

“Very very nice atmosphere, the waitress was awesome, friendly gave honest and great recommendations , I was on a date and did not feel rushed to leave. The food was delicious. I would definitely go again for a date night. Just wish the portion were a little bigger ,but it’s was still a great experience“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Muy bueno y lugar agradable“

“The excellent service and the food was very good.me and my family will definitely be back again…….“

“Had a good time. Our server was great“

“Friday night at Santa Fe Steakhouse & Cantina was an absolute experience amazing food, impeccable service, beautiful setting, and live music that tied it all together perfectly. Our server Juan Luis, is hands down one of the best in the industry.. professional, attentive, and genuinely elevated the entire night. This place doesn’t just serve meals, it delivers moments.“

“This place was amazing! Good burgers and you guys try the onion rings. Parking is on the side, I almost left cuz I couldn’t find parking. I’m glad I stopped by, the Burger I ordered was very good. The atmosphere is great also. Not loud like other bigger chain restaurants. Great homemade food. Give it a shot!“

“I love this place. The workers are kind and helpful to new customers. The food is pretty spot on every time I come. It is a little pricey, but good food usually is. I like the chicken and grape sandwich on a croissant. The poblano corn soup (kinda spicy) and zucchini soup are also pretty good. I have pretty bad social anxiety but always feel very welcomed here.“

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

“Felicidades Rodolfo y a tu esposa , es para el publico o solo socios del club“

“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.“

“What a cutie place! Incredibly friendly service, delicious homemade food, quaint, clean little place! AND after eating here, my stomach was not upset at all like it is after eating Mexican food in most places in the Valley! Plus they have cinnamon rolls the size of your head for only $5.99! We'll be back!“

“Go there all the time. Desserei always takes care of me. Never fails to be attentative to me and my friends. Always there when we’re ready to order another round. Pool is always a blast there and the music is always on beat to get the crowd going.“

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

“Shout out to Emmanuel and the crew from Siempre Natural on University and McColl!! They remembered who I was, and took care of my order! Kindness, speed , excellent service, and excellent food! Highly recommend! I ordered the chicken, grape and pecan salad on a croissant with jalapeños ands fideo on the side, 10 out of 10 a must try!“

“la carne y el pan con mantequilla“

“Absolutely loved it, can’t wait for the next time I go back“

“I've gone to so many different drive thrus. And OMG! When I say I was surprised to see this, it was delicious!!! At first I was a little nervous since it was $15, my expectations for this was not high since I've been disappointed at other places before. But let me tell you this exceeded my expectations, it has a lot of snacks on top for the price it's perfect! I will be back for sure! 💖🤤“

“i wish i had her name but the woman with glasses who handles the curbside orders deserves the world!! she is always super quick, super nice & always smiling! whenever i order to go & see it’s her working, i know i am going to get my order in 0.2 seconds.“

“Nice place to hang out and Yasmeen Munoz was very nice and friendly“

“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.“

“I visit this location and the food never disappoints. I like that they have seasonal dishes. The lighting is a little dim but all Yard Houses are. The food took a little long to come out. But that was unusual. Overall this place is a 10/10.“
