“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas Roadhouse Review 🥩🍖🍠🥦 If you’re craving a hearty, flavorful meal, Texas Roadhouse never disappoints! The steak was grilled to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. The BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious with that smoky, sweet glaze that keeps you wanting more. 🍖🔥 The baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon was pure comfort food 🍠🤤, and the steamed veggies added a nice fresh balance 🥦🥕. Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and lively—perfect for a casual dinner or a celebration. 🍹🎉“

“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.“

“Bri was awesome - great service and amazing food as usual .“

“We hosted a Celebration of Life at BJ's Brewhouse, Hwy 281 N. Could not have been more satisfied with the atmosphere, service, and especially the food. There were 80 of us with the Pizza and Salad Buffet. EVERYBODY there remarked how wonderful how wonderful the pizza and service were. I've heard terms like "never had pizza this good", "the service was excellent", "wonderful place." I highly recommend this particular location for events. EXCELLENT.“

“Had a great experience at Applebee's thanks to Jordan! ⭐️
We ordered steak with mashed potatoes and even switched out the broccoli for pancakes — and everything came out just right. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. 🥩🥞
Jordan made sure we were taken care of the whole time, super attentive and friendly. Definitely made the visit even better!
Will be coming back for sure 🙌 Chris the kitchen manager even came out to see if we were pleased with our food! Excellent service Excellent food!“

“The waitress Diana was friendly and very attentive. She brought out my food just like I ordered and made sure it was complete. I also enjoyed watching the big tv’s while I eat. Truly amazing.“

“1st time, for husband's bday. Paul was awsome!! Will definitely be back“

“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.“

“THE EMPLOYEES ARE RESPECTFUL. THE MANAGER IS SUPER NICE AND SUPER SWEET. I ENJOYED MY VISIT. WAS VERY SATISFIED!(:“

“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.“

“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!“

“They lost me when they got rid of my favorite dish - 3 Little Pigs. It’s all I ever ordered.“

“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!!“

“Turkey and dressing is delicious.“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order here. Everything is delicious!“

“We are from NY and this was our 2nd time in SA, I met your server Ashley across the street & she informed she worked for you. We came for dinner the following evening and Ashley was 1000 amazing! 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!!!“

“From the drinks to the food + customer service! Jesse was our server and I recommend 100% Tycoon Flats Austin Hwy 😋 Yall go check it out , you will not be disappointed!“

“Great place to relax and enjoy good food music is perfect . There is even options to sit outside. Im definately going back“

“Very nice place good is yummy“

“Good service and good food. Thank you.“

“Angel was very assisting. Felt like Fabian the cook made it with love. Everything was very clean. Angel came up and checked on us making sure we were good. I will definitely recommend this location. The team made my experience very joyful and fulfilling that I will most definitely will be returning with my family. I left with a happy full stomach. THANK YOU P.terrys!“

“First went there earlier this year, impressed us the minute we walked in the door, employees greet you upon entering with a truly warm, illuminating smile. When we were seated, we wanted to watch a certain game and the manager, Laura really went out of her way, bent over backwards to ensure they found the game(s) we wanted to watch, then ensured that the games would stay on ! The waitress who waited on us ( can't remember her name ) was exactly like the manager, helpful, courteous and quick with her service, thus resulting in making this our favorite location for watching sports with the drinks and menu items to order, with this type service, we will always make this our number 1 location !! Thank You For Everything !!“

“What a fun experience even for two 70 year olds! (My wife and I) White Rabbit our waiter was great - funny, service focused and entertaining. They announced to the entire restaurant when I used the men’s room!😄😝🤪 Ate too much because servings were huge. Could not drink all this iced tea although I tried! We watched young children have a ball! Thanks“

“We have eaten here for years and always had great service, good food and reasonable prices for the portions that they serve(sometimes more than we can eat at one sitting). The owner is usually around to say hello and thank us for coming. Very few places serve as many types of veggies and unusual sides as 410 Diner. Fish to Filets-they have it all/or most of it.“

“Ordered the pineapple pancakes with hashbrowns and waffle with ham. The pancakes were made right and tasted great. The eggs were made correctly. The waffle was very good and the ham was ok. I love exploring new restaurants and every once in awhile you find a gem. This is a great spot. I actually found this place through Reddit. It's not the prettiest place but, that's part of the overall charm. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Sometimes simple is where it's at and all you need. Will I be back is not the question, it's when will I be back.“

“Good food , quick service and friendly.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, straight up. I ordered the full rack of Baby Back Ribs, Not Your Ordinary Mac & Cheese and cole Slaw. While the ribs and Cole slaw were delectable, the Mac & cheese fell short of its normalcy. The cheese sauce was quite soupy. This is not normal for J. Alexander's. I have eaten here several dozen times over 15 years and never experienced this. The service was impeccable as always. It was my wife's 6and the server brought a piece of carrot cake with a candle!!“

“The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Nice indoor and outdoor area. Food is good for a bar type place my wife loves the pulled pork grilled cheese and the drinks are well made. Trivia on Saturday afternoon is fun for all with one of the best jockeys Shiela.“

“Love, love, love this bar! Taylor and the girls are amazing and the friendliest bartenders. My new favorite neighborhood bar! ❤️❤️“

“We took our 9 yr old with some friends for his birthday and the staff was phenomenal! Every single staff member we came in contact with went above and beyond for us. (Note: We did not book a party, we just walked in and free played) I tried to remember names, and I know I forgot some, but the ones I can remember are: Ariel - helped us figure out the best bang for our buck and so friendly! Any questions I had, she answered. Skye - she was great with the kids in laser tag and the prize area. So helpful. James - the kids were waiting for us to finish the transaction and he was helping them do some free play with the games. Right off the bat great service from the time we walked in until we left. Another time James was so helpful was with the ropes course - 2/4 kids were not having it. He tried to convince them they were okay and he wouldn’t let them fall but also let them know they didn’t have to do it if they didn’t want to and helped them back down to the floor. He also had a partner in the ropes course but I forgot his name. He was so nice and polite! James also gave a little gift to my child. Made his day (and ours!!). Ivan - we had an issue with a game and a prize getting stuck. He came over right away and helped and asked if there was anything else he could do for us. Kelvin - he was our waiter in the Bowling area. He was so friendly and always made sure we had what we needed. Helped me with choices on the menu. Great fella! Again, we cannot get over how friendly as well as above and beyond the staff is at Main Event on 1604 & 281! Thank you for making our day! We will definitely be back!!“

“Friendly service l, fun shopping trip and great food. Appreciate the early bird dinner specials!“

“Best Lu Ann Chicken and let me just say I love them rolls as well there tea and service“

“I grew up in s.a. and now live in Virginia and when I go home I eat there daily.....good food and good people.“

“We were at the Rim location just now. We sat in the bar area and immediately left. The floor had chips, old french fries on the floor and under the table. I had even said something about the floor needed sweeping as the hostess sat us. She didnt even bother to come back to address that. We got up and left. If the staff is like that with upkeep upfront, I did not want to know how they maintain their kitchen. I can understand if they were very busy and did not have time but there was a couple of people in the bar area. They could have addressed that. Very dissappointed.“

“Great bottles of vino and oysters. Music by Stan Wayne and Nic Dante on some nights., what not to love!“

“Absolutely an amazing and beautiful course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were beautiful, healthy and very green.“

“On 02/09/2026, my wife and I dined at Signature in San Antonio, Texas. We were overwhelmed by the service and the menu. Our server Catherine guided us through all four courses. We were amazed by the freshness of all the ingredients and the presentation. The quail was exquisite. The beet salad was to die for, and the venison melted in your mouth. The fried oysters and crispy salmon were amazing. All the staff were very attentive, but I must give high praise to our server Catherine, who made our special evening even more special. Thank you, Catherine. We will be back in April.“

“Absolutely recommend this place!!!! The food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING!!!“
