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“

“Love the specials that they have during the week especially after school when the kids get out and want a snack. Funnel cakes are the bomb especially how they dress it up how you like it. Definitely a good place to go when you have those antojitos 😋“

“One of my favorite restaurants in McAllen“

“Kayla D. and Andrea were great! Very helpful when it came to mixed drinks. Definitely coming back 😊“

“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!“

“A charming, long-standing cafe and bakery in McAllen, this cozy spot is famous for delicious homemade comfort foods and decadent desserts. Fresh quiches, gourmet sandwiches, hearty soups, custom cakes, and sweet pastries headline the menu. A warm, quaint dining room makes it a perfect stop for brunch, lunch or tea.“

“First time eating here and honestly the burgers are so good everything fresh and homemade I would definitely recommend if your looking for a burger joint this def the place🍔👍🏻 the atmosphere was great too and good customer service“

“I ordered take out, I've always like this place, but today I noticed the food was very salty, especially the red beans and rice. The brown gravy had a shrimp in it, I don't think 🤔 there's supposed to be shrimp in gravy, good thing we're not allergic.“

“El sábado 1 de agosto alrededor de las 7 pm fue la primera vez que los visité. Tengo que ser justa en compartir que me pareció un lugar muy agradable, me sorprendió la velocidad de respuesta en cocina al entregarnos nuestros platillos y su calidad. Consideré una muy buena experiencia hasta ese punto. Víctor , su manager nos visitó en nuestra mesa casi al llegar y se portó muy amable. No soy una persona que consuma alcohol pero en ese momento quise pedir una margarita , al moverla sobre la servilleta húmeda, se atora y cae en la mesa ; un mesero de cabello largo, muy amablemente, se acercó a apoyarnos a limpiar, muy apenados le agradecimos el gesto (por no ser nuestro mesero pero sí por resolver ). A los pocos minutos llega Kate, mesera en turno de la mesa nuestra; me pregunta qué pasó y antes de que yo le compartiera toda apenada ella agrega la frase “o ya andas pe$@$a / drunk??” A lo que mi respuesta fue un super incómodo “jamas”. Entiendo que vivimos en una época en donde, para muchos , hasta risa hubiera salido de un comentario como el de ella; pero para mí fue una falta total de respeto. No encontré a Víctor al final y ya compartí mi experiencia también en su website oficial porque considero que la retroalimentación es vital para quienes somos prestadores de servicio en cualquier ámbito. Son una restaurante con un alta potencial; mi única sugerencia es que cuiden esa línea tan delgada de ser amigable a pasar a ser irrespetuoso con tu cliente. Gracias . Carolina López.“

“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.“

“Food was good :) definitely a wide variety. Great service as well, thank you JJ! ♡ As a person who's scared to speak, JJ was inviting and helpful handling those questions.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The service was excellent, Tony was great. The atmosphere was top notch. The food was outstanding. It was our anniversary and they treated us with a card, sprinkled hearts on the table and a complimentary piece of red velvet cheesecake. We will be returning.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Love this place!! If you want to hang with friends and play some pool this is the place you go too! 100000/10 service!! Very friends staff with amazing attitude and service! Come here for a great time you won’t regret it 🥰“

“Can't say enough about how cool this place is, it's off the charts retro. The food was pretty good but very expensive. An old fashion cocktail was 13 alone my steak was 56 i believe. For two a nice meal plus tip was 200. They have a few less expensive meals, i would definitely go back to hang out and have drinks they have beer on tap that is cheaper I think it's 8 bucks a beer. They put a lot of thought into designing this restaurant it is nice.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. 👍😁“

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

“Truffle burger was delicious. Unreasonably long wait time of at least 40 minutss at around 2:30 PM on a Saturday. I was going to order another menu item but I thought about the wait time so I did not. There wasn’t too many diners though, unless they were short staffed.“

“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 😊“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

The young lady that helped us with our order was very kind.
The atmosphere is dated but quiet. There were several people enjoying their meals.“
