“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and lively—perfect for a casual dinner or a celebration. 🍹🎉“

“The ribs where the best I’ve had in a long time. I also had rice, beans and Mac and cheese with jalapeño no question it was a hit. I will definitely go back again.“

“Clean is always good. But the food is why we keep coming back. Ordering on line is sometimes tricky and mistakes are sometimes made, but they are more than happy to make it right. Highly recommend this bbq place and I have and I will keep recommending.“

“Always passed this spot we stopped to try and me and husband loved it will definitely be our new spot for bbq“

“It was my first time. Really enjoyed the menu selections! It was very good! I will return!❤“

“BBQ is always on point. Since the first visit to this current day they have been consistent with the service and the food. I love this place. It’s a little more expensive than Bill Millers but worth every penny. Hands down always great service and food is always amazing!“

“Ate there for the first time this weekend and it was so so good, they were so accommodating since we were from out of town and could not take our food to go. We will definitely be going again very soon!!!“

“Absolutely everything is so good!!! Highly suggest you get you some!! 😋“

“I ordered a full chicken for pickup and it was ready quickly. I really appreciated that it came already cut, which felt like a nice extra touch. The chicken was very tender and moist, and overall I really liked it. I would give it 5 out of 5, but there was an excessive amount of black pepper, which I personally do not like at all, not even a little. It would be great to have an option for people who do not enjoy spicy or heavily seasoned food. Aside from that, everything was great. I will try the BBQ next time and hopefully it is not spicy.“

“well there was no highlight. the food was all leftovers and it was cold. not impressed at all.“

“Delicious Barbacoa! Staff is friendly and quick! Customer service is great! The homemade tamales here are the best!“

“we enjoyed ourselves very much“

“Best place for lunch or dinner!!! Ronnie, Jedi and the crew really know how to cook and have excellent customer service skills!!!“

“The food and service was good and the kitchen accommodated a request to grill the catfish instead of cooking it blackened. Thank you.“

“★★★★ El Monte BBQ is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly flavorful, with perfectly grilled meats that are juicy and packed with smoky goodness. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for both casual meals and family gatherings. If you’re craving authentic, delicious BBQ, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered the cheese burger 🍔 and it hit the spot! The meat patty was cooked medium well and didn’t disappoint. It came with all the fix ins lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles. Along with the side of fries. The portion of fries seemed like it wasn’t enough but after eating the burger, its plenty. It was quick to order on line or by phone. Everything came out as I wanted, and was ready at the exact time given.
Thank you for satisfying my lunch time craving!“

“We are from Mississippi and had to go to San Antonio for work. We asked around for a good place to eat and this place was mentioned! We were so excited! It was AMAZING! The customer service was Amazing as well. Definitely recommend this place! You HAVE to have the Banana Pudding!!! Thanks y’all!“

“Always take your receipt , yesterday me and my hubby went there for lunch , we paid , I did a custom tip and didn’t take a receipt , well now today when checking my bank account my waitress took the liberty to tip herself an extra $15 but of course since I didn’t take the receipt I can’t dispute it , so if you’re gonna eat there always take your receipt but overall the food is good“

“We came in from out of town. Our family recommended us to go eat there! It was our first time eating Korean BBQ! We loved it!!!! Our children liked the shrimp tempura, shrimp friend rice and ramen. Make sure you order just the regular broth with the ramen 🍜 if it’s for your kids. If not it’s a bit spicy if you don’t. It’s very temp hot too. Ethan are server was pleasant and attentive. Great for birthdays too! I love how they sing to you and play the happy birthday song with glow sicks! Love of delicious sides come with the meal. We really enjoyed ourselves! Big family size portions! It’s really cool how you get to cook your meats! Definitely will be coming back! Very family friendly! God Bless!“

“The tamales are SO GOOD ugh I haven't had good tamales in years. These knock the store bought and the in laws' tamales out the park. They're nice and moist, not dry at all. The seasoning for the meat is great and it's a perfect ratio of masa and meat. They aren't ginormous but they aren't flat and tiny (I've had some paper thin ones before). I think they're a decent size, especially for the flavor and value ($30 for 2 dozen). Gotta try their barbacoa next time!“

“I was waiting for my (delicious fatty brisket) to-go order when a woman came in to pick up what appeared to be a pre-order. The cook politely explained that they had run out of one of the meats and, because they were unable to reach her beforehand, had substituted it with the closest available option in an effort to fulfill her order.

Despite the staff’s attempt to accommodate her, she became upset and insisted she had been told the item would be available. She demanded to speak with a manager.

Manager Liz responded immediately. She apologized sincerely, remained calm and professional, and made every effort to accommodate the customer’s concerns. Unfortunately, despite Liz’s patience and repeated attempts to resolve the situation, the customer continued to raise her voice, became verbally abusive, and caused a scene during the dinner rush while families with children and other guests were dining.

I was genuinely impressed by how Liz handled such a difficult situation. She remained composed, respectful, and focused on de-escalating the conflict even as the customer continued to berate her. It was evident that Liz was doing everything she reasonably could to resolve the issue.

As a customer waiting nearby, I found the incident stressful to witness. Listening to someone repeatedly yell at and disrespect an employee over a barbecue order was upsetting. Eventually, I politely asked the customer to stop verbally abusing the manager and making a scene because it was affecting everyone in the restaurant.

Please recognize Liz for her professionalism, patience, and grace under pressure. Employees in customer service often endure difficult situations that are far beyond their control, and Liz represented your business exceptionally well. She deserves recognition for the way she handled an incredibly challenging interaction.“

“Ok so this is my first time here with my girlfriend and she order the texas size chicken fried steak with mash and sweet corn and I order the 1/2 pound burger with fries overall taste was great the portions were not what they seem but tasted good the corn was a little more sweet but it was ok the manager Lisa was very accommodating but they can make the food bigger for the price !!“

“There isn't just one thing about this place that brings us back.... it's the consistency of its parts! The bartenders are all friendly and knowledgeable, and honest. The drinks are better than most places. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. It's what you would want to be doing even if it didn't exist, so having it here, in real life, makes all the more special! My favorite is TommieGirl! She rocks!“

“we always go here and have always been happy with our order. This time was a little disappointed in the peach cobbler. I ordered to small servings and both were filled less than half.“

“Great BBQ ! We will definitely be going back !“

“The food was excellent, prepared & served by a most Gracious owner with kindness, humor, and expertise. Original coleslaw recipe was divine, none like I’ve ever had before. The personal attention was appreciated and the unexpected entertainment was Priceless!!! Next time I visit San Antonio I will definitely visit again. Thanks JT, TJ, I’m sorry, I can’t remember exactly what it was 😞 but thank you for such a wonderful experience.“

“Got there late on a Sunday night, very friendly & the food was FABULOUS!!! I highly recommend!!! Sad, that we are from Nebraska & won't get to come back here, but I definitely would if I could😋“

“I love coming to this location getting my food to-go or dining in. The customer service is top tier and there are never long wait times for a table. The freshly baked bread has to be my favorite! And the steak and salmon is always cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to come back next time!“

“Fitzgeralds Bar & Live Music Venue In San Antonio.💯🙏“

“The Moco Loco! 🤤 This place is so good we ordered for lunch…and then for dinner. Gravy and extra Pattie’s, here at home added an extra over medium egg. We finished it off standing in the kitchen 😆. I aim to make this a weekly occurrence!!“

“Very good overall experience. The place has AC, so that’s a big plus. We loved the potato salad side. We ordered the chopped brisket sandwich with barbecue sauce and it was definitely worth it. Also had a spinach salad which was great with fresh ingredients and a good size“

“Great place and great people“

“Enjoyed lunch dining experience. Filet cooked just like we requested. The Roasted Brussels Sprouts were very good! Melody K provided excellent service throughout the meal! She got assistance when another elderly server noticed a refill was necessary and refilled one of our iced teas.“

“Thank you Alexis (manager)! We had ordered through the drive thru last Sunday and when we got home, part of our order was wrong. We called and she was ready to help us and correct the mistake!!“

“outdoor area for gathering.“

“🤐 idk 🤷🏻‍♀ if today was a bad day to order or maybe shift change and everyone was loopy as hell BUT MY LOOOOOOOOORD Jesus take the wheel, like we were on repeat ordering on the line and we are speaking to one staff member then someone literally cuts in to fix our order and now we are on repeat for the third time ugh 😩 so I place my order and by the grace of god she 😮‍💨 she fussed because she had to get my fries 🍟 and I heard her!
Food is dry, mood swings were off the charts for everyone even managers both in glasses 👓
My experience was horrible. My poor son says what’s wrong with everyone!
I say it’s okay son, they shouldn’t be allowed to treat others like that. Everyone has bad days! Ms Anna doesn’t belong up front Bill Millers- the one person that attends and welcomes you and addresses you is a tall young lad with brown hair and glasses. He’s so sweet and kind! I went for a refill and everyone passes you by and NOT no one comes to refill your cup. Till yes ppl come and then you get help 🤦🏻 I need to call Cooperate 📞“

“Excellent food; great packaging; great service; and reasonable prices. Their large, sweet tea is the best! We love the extra lean beef brisket. My son was a little disappointed that the Wild Bill sandwich was not particularly special.“

“Vary delicious chicken strips 🧡🤎🎀“

“Very very good food! Lots of great choices and nice workers to be around too! Enjoy being in SA and eating here every time!😊“

“Good food consistently! And good customer service.“

“Love the vibe here everyone’s happy“

“Great, with fast & friendly service.“

“Being new to the area, I found myself with some extra time before a meeting and decided to stop by Bill Miller Bar-B-Q for breakfast. I’m certainly glad I did.

From the moment I walked through the door, the entire restaurant felt welcoming. The atmosphere was clean, inviting, and set the tone for a great experience.

Ms. Jheri made that experience even better. She greeted me with a warm smile, took the time to learn what I was in the mood for, and made some fantastic recommendations. I followed her advice and ordered the tacos she suggested, and they were absolutely delicious.

What impressed me most was the care she put into serving every customer. She never made me feel rushed, prepared my order with attention to detail, and genuinely wanted to make sure I enjoyed my meal. As I was checking out, she smiled and told me to let her know if I needed anything else. It’s a simple gesture, but one that speaks volumes about her commitment to great customer service.

People often remember how they’re treated long after they’ve finished their meal, and Jheri made this visit memorable. She represents Bill Miller Bar-B-Q with professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for taking care of customers.

Thank you, Ms. Jheri, for such a wonderful start to my day. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great food served by even better people.“
