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“

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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“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. 👍😁“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was my first time at this steak house and it was TO DIE FOR! My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our anniversary, and the service was unmatched. They decorated the table with petals and candles, our waitress Chloe was AMAZING, she guided us through the menu, gave us great recommendations and was overall was such a delight. They have both inside and outside seating, it’s very nice on the inside. FOOD 10/10, we had several platters and they were great! I would definitely recommend“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time. Food was delicious. We ordered a Grilled Catfish with a side salad, mixed vegetables, and a dinner roll, a Chicken Fried Steak with a side salad, French fries, and a dinner roll. We also ordered rhe Tampiqueña which I forgot to take a picture of. This plate came grilled fajitas, one crispy taco, one american cheese enchilada, and a side of refried beans, spanish rice, and a side salad, and flour tortillas. Service was great, a d the atmosphere feels cozy.“

“Great place to play pool ! Servers are super duper nice and attentive. I never have any trouble here at all. The food is not really good but I mean … yeah sorry I don’t care about the food at Eddys I’m there to play pool. Super clean. Great pool hall.“

“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!

“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.“

“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.“

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