50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Sam Houston

“Some of the best Army food I've had. It's easy to pick healthy entrees and get some veggies as sides. On days when you need it, they've got some soul food as well. Walk in, wash your hands, pay or notify attendants which course you're in, and choose a station. They have healthy options, grill, sandwich bar, ethnic food, and home cooking for entrees. Coffee, soda, flavored water, milk, and tea for drinks. Dessert station, salad bar with specialty and veggie salads, and yogurt. Always leave with a full belly with food that gives me fuel to hit up Central Post gym afterwards.“

“I started out with a cocktail that was spicy and a bit sweet. Our waiter Lorenzo was not only professional and courteous ,he was quite knowledgeable about the menu and very very handsome! You've got to try the prosciutto wrapped around a tender piece of grilled chicken and stuffed with goat cheese and spinach with a honey glaze. It was very good. Will definitely go there again“

“Tonight was the first time we have ever been to Savor. Our server Clay was great. He was very attentive and very professional. He made the experience so worth the drive. The food was delicious. All in all we had a wonderful time. 5 Stars all around!“

“I took a close friend to experience Bliss for the first time and Bliss was perfection. Hostess and bartenders were extremely welcoming. We were sat on time and had a great view of the kitchen. Brett our waiter was awesome from the second he introduced himself. The entire staff was extremely attentive the entire evening. Brett was so knowledgeable of every dish and introduced them in way, you wanted to try them all. We took his recommendations and had the perfect dinner. Tony the chef came to your table and was kind enough to send over a complimentary dish to taste (which was delicious). The entire evening was perfection, the food was mouthwatering, the atmosphere was perfect, it wasn't loud, it was pretty perfect. Brett and Tony...Thank you!!!! See you guys soon!“

“Cappy’s is hands down my favorite restaurant in San Antonio and I make a point to come every time I visit. You can’t go wrong with the mustang chicken and the crispy brussel sprouts are to die for.My young daughter would be upset with me if I didn’t mention her favorite part of the meal— the delicious bread they serve before the meal. Our waitress was kind enough to box up an extra loaf for her to take home when she realized kiddo was adamant about bringing home the last small piece.Make reservations, you need them!“

“Had a couple drink that came out super quick as well as the Nashville chicken sandwich it was great the service here was above and beyond make sure yall ask for Bella when you come out she really quick and great to talk to even during a rush she made time to have conversations“

“I’m a regular at the Corpus Christi location so I definitely love this place came to visit my friends that I went to high school with and went out to eat here for my first time here in live oak and are beautiful server Stacey went all out she was fast and efficient and very friendly she recommended some drinks for us that I hadn’t had before I could even tell she was moving quick with her other tables I don’t even normally sit at the booths I sit the bar most of the time to watch the sports games once, I’m a regular at the CC location so I could tell I’m definitely asking for her the next time I come and visit. Stacy was even better than some of the bartenders over in CC she is magnificent.“

“Serenity was so helpful with her suggestions, being that it was our first time here. Her patience, great work ethic, and friendly demeanor are what will draw us back to this establishment. If I could give 6 stars…I wouldn’t. I’d give 7.“

“We had an amazing evening at Biga Restaurant.Everything, from the deck overlooking the riverwalk to the creative menu, was excellent.The Scottish Salmon was perfectly done with an unusual, delicious topping. My husband loved the one-half Lamb Rack. I have not seen this in fine dining restaurants before, but they serve half portions on some of their main course meals. Much appreciated! Our waiter, Ben, was a delight - most gracious and helpful.“

“Omg, the guacamole though!!! Wasn't expecting it to be so fire. Most everything on the menu is delicious. Wasn't a fan of the steak frites, though. It was just ok. Or maybe I was just in a seafood mood. Nevertheless, a solid lunch/dinner option. Adding it to the rotation.“

“Visiting from out of town we had a wonderful experience at Bar Loretta. It was great to see a local not on the River Walk thrive. The service was top notch from Ray! We loved everything from the cocktails to the appetizers (recommend the quail, shrimp and scallops), burrata beet salad, and entrees (our daughter said the Loretta burger was the best she ever had). Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!“

“This is a beautiful fine dining restaurant with excellent service. The food is good. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, hummus, and in house made, flat bread. The salad with salmon was very good as well, and the crab cake. The crab cake is delicious, but the order comes with one cake only.“

“First time here and it was a great experience. Greeted by the Manager Dan with a smile and shown to our table immediately. Koy was our server and he was very knowledgeable and kind. Something that you don’t normally get these days. The FOOD was amazing??the best French toast and pancakes. Thank you for an enjoyable experience. We will be coming back.“

“It’s very refreshing. When you go into a restaurant and you’re waitress like we had to attended us here and her name was Carina, even during lunch rush hour, she made sure we were ok and didn’t need anything. And was very kind and very attentive.“

“Been going to Willie's for along time, lately I've noticed it has been hit and miss. But today they were great. Great service and management. We had 11 in our party, 2 babies, 2 elderly folks. Thanks ya'llDietary restrictions: Accommodation for non-dairy.“

“Happy hour if we was on point. Nice, and right with beer. Felt like mom and Pop vibe. the service is quick and friendly. Definitely a lot of room to have the whole Familia. If you know what I mean locals laugh out loud. I'm looking forward to having this spot as my new local plug-in for the family that comes out of town and the food is on point.“

“Menu changes every week, join the email list to see if the choice is for you. Small place, very nice patio. Nice pairing menu. Tonight it was a moussaka appetizer with an arugula and marinated cucumbers and chopped radish salad. The cannalomi with lamb filling- delicious and savory. The seared sea scallops were one of the best I've ever had, cooked just through. The corn chowder and shrimp base was a perfect combination. Chocolate for dessert- lovely light flourless torte. Oh and their own brand of Egg Cream Liqueur with dessert.“

“The food is excellent, especially the mole enchiladas. My only knock on this place is that it's LOUD. Eating in the little dining room is like eating in a New York subway terminal. And to make it even worse they insist on playing loud music. It's SO loud you can't enjoy your food.If you want to have a conversation with your dining partners, try to snag a table in the bar (and when has dining in the bar been quieter than the dining room?) or even better on the patio.Wheelchair accessibility: Most of the restaurants are easily accessible. Unfortunately, there are only two handicapped parking spaces. I'm not sure how they get away with that.“

“Magical. The dak galbi was an incredibly beautiful take on elevated Korean food, and I found myself polishing off my entire plate. The pesto pasta was very light and and almost floral…equally delicious. This was the best dinner I’ve had in San Antonio. The service was just as good as the food. 10/10“

“This was my last meal on my visit to San Antonio, and boy it didn't disappoint. The food and service were excellent! I had breakfast on that visit. I can't wait to come back and try lunch or dinner at this restaurant. 5 stars all the way!“

“I'm from an area that doesn't have Shake Shacks but had to try it based on my love of the movie 'Something Borrowed.' So glad I tried the Avocado bacon burger! It's been a must-visit each time I visit San Antonio. Chose this location hoping to view the eclipse. At least the burger/fries were great!“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing but what really stood out to me was the quality of service from my server Eva. She was extremely kind and respectful and constantly checked up on our table. Definitely took our experience at the restaurant to a whole different level. I can safely say I’ll be back very soon!“

“I gotta tell ya, this place is not only great but deserves more attention. From their chicken fried chicken to their hamburger steak to their breakfast plates, all is great tasting. Service is impeccable as other restaurants lack it.Now this was take out and what they call a MORNING WRECKER (a fulfilling bliss) to a avacado omelet are worth trying. If wanting to dine in, best get their early as wait times very from 1 to 2 hrs. Best check in online to beat the crowd IMO.“

“In-N-Out not only has delicious food, but it's always extremely clean inside the restaurant and the workers are always so friendly. As a food service worker myself, I know it's hard to be friendly to some people-- especially if you have a bad day --but their workers are always on their A-game. Their handmade fries are my favorite fries from any restaurant, as they always have a perfect golden color, just the right amount of crispiness, and they're always salted just right. The burgers are always juicy and flavorful, and the ice cream they use for their shakes has a nice, authentic ice cream texture to go along with its great flavor. 10/10 restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There are some tables in the lobby designated to be wheel-chair accesible.“

“We arrived right around noon. Promptly met by the staff. Food was delicious. I had the pork belly, steamed rice and pickled veggies. Pork belly was cooked properly, pickled veggies were sweet but crisp, rice was firm and held form well, sauce brought balance to everything. Would highly recommend.“

“I really enjoy this place. The atmosphere is great, outdoor seating is fantastic. Most of all the food is always good! I highly recommend the “Dips & Spreads” its pimento cheese, hummus, & spinach artichoke. Their Pimento Cheese is awesome. Happy hour from 3-6 might be one of the best deals in the immediate area of the quarry“

“Stumbled upon this Cafe. Location great, free parking in abundance (2 hr), walked in stated I never been and ask for recommendation. With a smile she asked if u liked spicy, said yes. She went with Turkey Chupacabra and detailed what it had. She was right, perfect sandwich. House made bread, fresh veggies, and house special sauce. Well priced. Can't beat it. Picture does it no justice.“

“This place was so cute and awesome playlist. Our server was Jesse, do yourself a favor and request him. He was so sweet and so attentive. He found out it was my friends birthday and brought her a dessert then gave of us a list of places to get a drink afterwards. Jesse, we love you!“

“Always heard about this place and finally decided to visit after taking the family to the Doseum. I ordered the double with bacon and extra sauce on the side(pepper corn) to dip my fries in. ? when I dip, you dip, we dip ?. I also ordered the cucumber watermelon splash and that was light and refreshing.“

“Nice brunch venue. I went to attend a Sunday morning workout from Camp Gladiator, followed by brunch.After the workout, I ordered off the shareable portion of the menu. I ordered the cornbread, brussel sprouts, a side of bacon, and the breakfast old fashion.The cornbread came in a small cast-iron skillet. To me, it was enough to share with one other person. It served with "jalapeño butter" - chopped (possibly pickled) jalapeño mixed with soft butter. I've never had that, but I know I'm going to look for and request it when dining out. The brussel sprouts were flash fried, which I prefer over oven roasted. Very crispy. It was the best tasting brussel sprouts I've had since I can recall. It was paired with a garlic aioli. The "side" of bacon was larger than expected, five or six pieces. It was well done, but not crispy. Very good. The breakfast old fashion was excellent! As much as I wanted to order another one, or two, I was driving. So I relegated myself to only one.Overall, the staff were nice enough. Nothing over the top as far as service goes. I requested an item, but the young lady working at our table must have forgotten. After some time waiting, I got up and asked someone else.I will most likely return again. Truth be told, it'll most likely be if/when they pair up with Camp Gladiator again.“

“My favorite restaurant! Our waitress Shaina always goes above and beyond even when the restaurant is extremely busy she is extremely attentive to each of her tables and leaves no one unattended! Will request her as our waitress every visit! This girl deserves waitress of the year! Not only that but the food is always on point, delicious and brought in a timely manner!“

“Everything was delicious, service was excellent and fast and hot! I dinged one star bc I only found one banana in my banana pudding that didn’t seem as great as the rest of the food so I was a little disappointed with that dish but overall everything else was soo good the entire place still deserves 5 stars for service and taste. Excited to to more things on the menu! Mac and cheese was delicious!“

“I love this place. the food is great and it’s like chris madrids but better. the food is similar but it has the quality of love. The building is pink so it makes me happy, too. Good filling burgers, fair pricing, lovely people working there. Would go again!“

“All I can say is WOW! My bf and I were craving pizza at 1:53 AM on a Tuesday and called here. The owner was extremely kind and friendly. He even stayed open later than his normal hours to get us pizza. And the pizza was AMAZING! Delicious NY style and it was bigger than most large pizzas. Awesome service, awesome pizza! 10/10“

“Nestled near the newly developed Creamery area and almost within walking distance from the historic Pearl, this restaurant boasts a great location.Parking is easy, and there are plenty of places to walk around.You order your food at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready for pickup.They also offer alcoholic beverages. The ambiance is inviting, with spacious seating arrangements.The patio, overlooking the River Walk, is a great feature.“

“The food was just okay. A bit pricey for the quality food given to us. I ordered shrimp tacos that ended up over cooked with a burnt flavor. My husband ordered a steak against me recommending not to since this is no steakhouse and he did not like. His sides were very small portions. My sons chk sandwich was made incorrectly he asked for crispy without cheese and got a grilled with cheese so he was bummed. Only reason I'd give it another try is because that was our first time there. If 2nd time is same then I would definitely not return again. At least our waiter was nice.“

“I love this place. Reminds me of NYC delis but cleaner and better quality food. Plus, they have some fantastic cocktails so it's a win all around.Happy hours here are definitely worth looking into. The five dollar burger on Tuesday is perhaps the best deal in town- it's cheaper than McDonald's but like actual high quality food and dang tasty.My favorite is Elaine's big salad (or whatever it's called). The ranch dressing is exquisite.Staff is super friendly - shout out to Austin and Alyssa for running the bar like absolute pros while also taking care of tables!“

“I had the pollock lunch special with fries. It was very good, but when it came time to pay, the cashier was talking up a storm on the lane line and had me waiting till she got her story across to who ever she was talking to. Please hang up the phone and talk at home. Some of us are on our lunch break and need to get back to work!“

“Great atmosphere, good food and drinks! Staff was very attentive and friendly eventhough we got there an hour before closing and were there a few minutes past closing time. I got two vanilla thrillers and a 50's style jalapeno bacon cheese burger plus an order of chips and salsa and the total came up to about 44 dollars before tip. It was a little pricey but I didn't mind considering the location. I love that they have their own free parking lot for customers so it saves time.Parking: There were numerous parking spots available“

“I stumbled on this place through an Instagram post (which normally is more hype than substance), but dang this place is great. The burger was perfect, huge, and a great price. I got a side of tots that were cooked to perfection. This is my new favorite burger spot in town. Highly recommend.“

“Eating at the Guenther House is always a delight. We came at lunch time on a Wednesday and there was no wait. We sat inside the quaint area. Coffee was hot and fresh and food was very good. There is a gift shop which I always go to when visiting. They have a nice selection of kitchen items and they sell some of their mixes here too. This time, I bought the sopapilla mix. We had a beautiful time on a beautiful day in San Antonio visiting the Guenther House.“

“My server, Sylvia, was fantastic yesterday. Jocelyn is fantastic today. This restaurant has terrific team, serving really fresh, hot & delicious foods. The chicken fried steak omelette was really scrumptious, recommended by Sylvia.Parking: There are plenty of spots, at the busiest times of the day.“

“Fine dining about 10 minutes from downtown. Food, service and ambiance were excellent. Wine list long and very good. A great option to get away from tourist district and treat yourself. Prices very reasonable for quality of the food.Parking: If lot is too full shopping area across street.“

“The chicken especially the spicy is not spicey hot but great spices on it. My favorite. The corn is amazing. The serviceIs what also brings you back. Welcoming & attentive employees. And if you are there when the owner is in. Bingo. Wonderful experience.“

“Everything I tried here was absolutely DELICIOUS! the drinks, the food, the vibes, the music are all great! Me and a couple of friends went for brunch and I was pleasantly surprised at how great this restaurant is. They play great music and our waiter was amazing. I'm going to have to come back so I can try more things on the menu!“

“Food was phenomenal!! Please be sure to check your receipts if you're paying with a gift card, or multiple cards as in our case. We handed our waitress two gift cards and asked her to process what was on the cards and use our credit card for the difference. Long story short, both cards were not used and the credit card was charged more as a result. The manager was very kind and understanding and made it right by reversing the transaction and started from the beginning.“

“?️?️een going here since it was Fatty's Burger 2006,2007,2008 & so on‼️?? I remember everything when the San Antonio Spurs would win the championship game me & the ?️ros would ride through downtown on our bicycles and pass out flyers, & business cards for Mark all the time ✊? had fun & the food was Great then still is now‼️✅ Great Place, Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great Beverages, & Great People (Family)‼️??✅✊?

“Atmosphere: I like the look & feel of the restaurant. The minute you walk in, you're greeted with the wonderful smell of smoke from wood burning.Service: the young lady's working this evening were awesome. Very patient and attentive. We had a gift card we wanted to use and ended up just shy of the balance. We couldn't leave without a tip so the server had a clever way of setting it up so we could use a debit card to leave a tip.Food: smokehouse burger is on point! It's huge, full of flavor and put together very nicely. The chicken parm on penne pasta is great. The chicken is massive lol you will not leave hungry when you eat here!Drinks: I didn't grab a pic but I had the cucumber & jalapeño margarita and I loved it. The description says it's refreshing and fully lives up to it!“

“The employee Marissa who served me was such a sweetheart & has great energy and I love coming in to eat & just to see and feel her energy. This is one of the best Denny's I've ever been too & the food is beyond delicious.“

“This is one of my favorite go to spots. I live for the matzo ball soup, I don't recall a time that I've visited and not paired it with my meal! The pimento cheese app is delicious as well. Another great option is the Elaine's big Salad. The staff is kind and the restaurant is always clean and organized.“
