“I work here Duhhhhh what the FUN!!?? Come and ask for RED Wednesday nights or Saturday mornings bring your family and friends !!!! We have so many specials !!!!“

“Showed up at 4:45pm on a Tuesday (online it says they close at 5:30pm) that's 45 mins till close and they were already closed. I drove 30 mins here for nothing.. I visited on a separate day and mentioned it and they said they weren't closed. I regret that I didn't take a picture for evidence, but you can't tell me that I didn't experience what I experienced.

Nonetheless, I always come here for the same thing and it's the spicy pasta. It's sooo delicious, so imagine my frustration with them being closed that day. I will say this, the spicy pasta lacks consistency. The first time I had it, it was not the same color as displayed in the restaurant pictures. However, it still had a kick 6/10. The next time I went it was spicer than the last 7/10. & the third time I went it actually had the color it was supposed to have and it was 10/10 the spiciest dish I've ever had. 😩🥵 It took me so long to eat it omg, but it's so good. I honestly hate that for me. Lmao. I know my nervous system be having a fit. Make sure you have something to drink ion standby if you may need it. The bread that comes with it is a good addition; it's toasted & tasty. I think next time I will try the regular pasta. 😂“

“Went to dinner before the Tobin show. New fall menu. The buttternut squash soup was delicious 😋 and served hot. Unfortunately the quinoa harvest salad with roasted beets, butternut squash, pepitas, and goat cheese was only greens…. Minus the other listed ingredients. Our waitress Brook was notified and said the cook staff that made the salad broke up with his girlfriend and sad! 😔 well we were sad and disappointed ☹️ and no compensation offered. The chicken Caesar salad was delicious. 😋 Hopefully no one else will get the same poor quality fall salad ! Beware ! 👻 trick or treat???!!!“

“Great food, super friendly staff, really good bourbon selection and several delicious gluten-free options for my wife. This place has been in San Antonio since the 70's. Ryan was a great waiter.“

“Biga On The Banks In San Antonio Tx.“

“12/13 @5:30 p.m Thank you Bryan or Brian for correct an order that was done wrong . You very kind and understanding. With no argument, he fixed it. He was great with his customer service. The only reason I gave them a 4 Service And atmosphere. He had a server name Judith that was very rude. When I told her the order was wrong, and I asked her for a manager, and she had a nasty attitude as she mumbled something under her breath about me to another server. It wasn’t worth arguing or question what she said. She waiting for me to argue with her, but I wasn’t gonna argue. Manager correct the order. That’s all that matters.“

“Such a great restaurant. Great food, service, environment. I’ve had their NY Strip and it is absolutely fantastic. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend.“

“Liberty Bar was the chosen location for my retirement party and it went above and beyond my expectations! Staff was top notch, food was amazing, ambience stellar, I was just completely impressed! It is a San Antonio gem!“

“Muffled conversations, a counter with swivel seats, round tables and booths with slightly sprung seats; carpet a bit threadbare from servers going back and forth. Smiling staff and cheerful conversation all around - in short a marvelous relaxing atmosphere. A very homey place for a travel too long away from home.
Oh, and they have great food too! My breakfast was the best I have had on this trip.
I think most anyone would like it here.“

“Last week I was one in a group of twelve who had an amazing experience dining at Ida Claire. All agreed that the food was excellently prepared and tasty. Those of us who ordered bread pudding thought it was wonderful. The service was top notch, thanks to our awesome server King. King was not at all intimidated by the number in our party. He was personable, knowledgeable, attentive, and accurate. We would certainly go there again.“

“This burger place is actually quite fantastic“

“Outstanding food, service, ambience, and...SERVICE! Jansen provided world class service and care for us on one of our very special nights out. Impeccable service and care to attention. The sherry glazed salmon was the best we ever had. We have a new favorite restaurant and service professional in San Antonio. Thank you, Jansen. We look forward to seeing you again soon.“

“Silo in Alamo Heights is exceptional from start to finish. The ambience is warm, refined, and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable experience. The food is impeccably prepared—beautifully presented with balanced, thoughtful flavors. Service is attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. A truly standout dining experience I'll happily return to and recommend.“

“The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly.

I tried The Orchard, and it was absolutely delicious. The smoked turkey with bacon and creamy brie was perfectly balanced by the crisp apples and fresh field greens. The Vermont dressing added just the right touch of sweetness and tang, all served on a soft roll that held everything together beautifully.

And don’t skip their homemade potato chips! They’re crispy, perfectly salted, and the ideal side to round out the meal. You can definitely tell they’re made in-house.

Picnikins is a solid lunch spot. I’ll definitely be back!“

“A beautiful historic building with inside and outside seating. We waited about 20 minutes at around 1:00. Our server was wonderful and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was relaxed and beautiful. I highly recommend adding a stop for lunch or breakfast here to any itinerary. We walked out giant cinnamon rolls to enjoy later!“

“The big Scooners of beer“

“As soon as we arrived, we knew it be a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, we got sat pretty quick and we didn't even have a reservation. I ordered a steak but I wish it came with two sides and not just one. My cousin ordered an hamburger, huge by the way! We got a complimentary carrot cake because our food took a while which by the way my cousin and I didn’t notice. It was delicious and we enjoyed it very much. Atmosphere is top notch in my opinion! We definitely going again!!“

I wasn’t feeling well and she treated me like a Queen. As an ex server myself I must say she was wonderful!!! Best service !! She deserves a raise !! she was perfect in every way. She was the sweetest and kindest person to us. Even got me a water to go for my upset stomach! We will definitely come again when we come back to visit! Ashley you ROCK!!!“
