Southern Restaurants near Helotes

“We came in around 9:30 and we were instantly greeted by Dylan (or Dillon) who welcomed us and took our order. The food was amazing and Dylan came by and checked on us to make sure everything was good, and he even came by and offered to take out trash, and even advised us about how they were beginning the closing process after we had finished our food and always had a smile. 10/10 Customer service from Dylan, i would totally recommend to a friend.“

“Give this place a shot! The brisket and ribs are great, wife loves the pulled pork tacos! No complaints and this BBQ rivals (better) than brick and mortar establishments such as R_dys or Sm_key Mo’s. They know what they’re doing for sure! MAKE SURE you go early enough, they sell out quickly of random items (small batches) early bird gets the worm!“

“Food was 10/10 and customer service was even better. Had the pleasure of Mikayla being at the register. It was me and my sons first time here. She took her time and explained the whole menu. I didn’t feel rushed and she was so nice. Very beautiful spirit. She smiled at each customer and welcomed them and I just love that. This place was very clean. The strawberry lemonade was extremely sweet. Other than that the food was perfect. My new favorite place to come!“

“We went to The Rustic today, and are so glad we did. They have a “Jam and Toast Brunch” on Sunday. It is a lot of food for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed migas, French toast bites, biscuits and gravy, a jicama and cucumber salad, thick-sliced pepper bacon, fried chicken, freshly cut fried potatoes and lemon bars.The standouts were the migas. They were prepared an unorthodox way, but they were delicious nonetheless. The potatoes were perfectly done and were covered with a delicious sauce. The peppered bacon slice was substantial. The small biscuits were a little dense, but the cream gravy was great. Our only complaint was the front doors and the large garage doors were open to hear the live music. Their solution was to offer blankets, a nice touch, but it was not enough to knock off the chill in the restaurant.We will look forward to returning to The Rustic for brunch again.“

“the food is mostly great, the kitchen is always slow. we have been there plenty of times in the AM because the chicken is gooood the waffles are ok but the chicken is good. but every single time the food takes for ever even if it just an omelette. swrveres are always nice prices are good . just keep in mind that food takes some time after you order.“

“fried chicken fried chicken fried chicken done... thats all ya need to know! well maybe i'll mention the greens i stopped by about 2PM on a wednesday and was happy to note lunch runs til 3PM. one of the specials was 2 pc of fried chicken, choice of salad or gumbo side, fries, honey fried biscuit AND iced tea for... drumroll please... $12.99! for comparison: popeyes: 2 pc chicken, side, biscuit & drink + add fries $11.79 whataburger: fried chicken sammie, fries & drink $9.49 (no salad) so why get fast food when you can get hot, fresh food and more of it for about the same price! take away is available! i started on my salad while i waited for the rest, i got the blackberry vinaigrette - tasty but not too heavy or sweet. the very generous amount of lettuces were fresh & crisp and PACKED into the bowl, topped with cheese, red onions & tomatoes. the rest came out quickly, piping hot! the breading on the chicken looks dark - but its perfect! you can get spicy or regular, i got regular - white. the meat was very moist and the breading is so crisp and light! the fries are battered and stayed crisp after they cooled. the honey fried biscuit is great! a deep fried biscuit glazed in honey - crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and not greasy. service was very attentive, but to be fair, the place was empty. but hubbie and i have been before and service has been always been good. spacious, clean, farmhouse style interior with outdoor dining avail. side notes: their tea actually tasted like well brewed tea and their greens are DELICIOUS! and other food items are available. but if you LOVE fried chicken, give theirs a try - you just might find a new favorite!“

“Everything was Amazing! The food, the atmosphere and the service! This place knows how to do BBQ. The fresh baked bread with the honey butter served as a great appetizer. I ordered the 2 meat combo. The service was also very good and our food arrived fresh and fast.“

“We got curbside. The food was pretty good as usual. The pinto beans this time were very dry, I could not eat them but the fried boneless chicken was very good. Not everything was hot but that's to be expected when getting curbside. This will not be the last time we order curbside from Cracker Barrel.“

“Came in early, for breakfast, no wait. Had the Hashbrown casserole. Yum! Yum! Yum! No, seriously, get it if you haven't. Order as a side if you get something else. Coffee was good, not bitter or too strong. It's an Americana atmosphere. Lots of unique stuff in the shot. I'll be back.“

“Mega good breakfast. I was overwhelmed by the size of the portion. The pancakes were simply delicious. Service simply very good. Very attentive. Coffee was refilled several times.Wheelchair accessibility: No problems eating here with a wheelchair.“
