50 Best American Restaurants in San Antonio

“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.“

“A great overall experience - the food, ambiance and service! We decided to do the SA Restaurant Week's Prix Fixe menu and it was a perfect way to taste a couple items that stuck out on their main menu like the charred octopus, redfish and braised beef rib. All of our food selections were so executed perfectly. Even the wine they suggested was so smooth, Walt 2023 Pinot Noir - must try! We will be back to try the duck next time!“

“amazingly delicious food as well as 5 star service“

“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.“

“Bar Loretta In San Antonio Texas.💯🙏🇨🇱♥️“

“I had such a wonderful experience here today! As a very early postpartum mom running on little sleep, I accidentally placed my order at the wrong Willie’s location. When I finally made it to the right one and explained my mistake, the Hwy 151 team kindly remade my food so I wouldn’t have to eat something that had been sitting for a while — all without me even asking. This small act of kindness meant so much. I told my baby that day that when you can, offer people as much grace as possible and be kind — because you never know what someone might be going through. Thank you, Willie’s, for not only serving delicious food, but also for showing compassion and humanity. You made my day! 💛“

“Food is always Delicious and our server Shainia was awesome!!“

“Everything I have ever tried at BJ's has always been delicious. You can't ever go wrong starting with an amazing craft cocktail and after an amazing meal, end with one of their sinful desserts. The staff will definitely take good care of you. So go out today and pay them a visit. It will be worth it.“

The chefs made meals that were top notch - can’t believe they haven’t received a Michelin Star yet! They will though, trust me! Outlaw Kitchen is a MUST dining experience!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My husband has been going through chemo and radiation for cancer and beef tastes dirty to him. I ate at your restaurant this week for the first time and I told him your cheeseburger was the best I had ever eaten so we went there for lunch today. You were very accommodating as neither of us can eat a lot of food. We ordered the cheeseburger to split and asked if we could share a cup of poblano soup. Again. No problem. His first bite of your hamburger and he said Praise God. This is great. And he loved the soup also. He was so greatful for food that tasted perfect to him. Thank you for being a restaurant that works with customers needs. We will be back“

“Excellent service and food was great. We had a small problem with some extra hot peppers on a pizza that should not have been so fiery and Jackie the manager took care of it. Would definitely go back:)“

“The big Scooners of beer“

“Grabbed lunch at the Guenther House—decorated lovely for the holidays. It is prone to get very busy, with long wait times and no advance reservations—especially on the weekends—so I came on a weekday for lunch when my schedule permitted. I waited about 15-20 minutes for outdoor seating with text message notifications and updates on the wait time and when my table was ready. During the wait, I walked around the house and visited the gift shop on site. I ordered a soup and salad, which hit the spot on a rainy day, along with a Christmas cookie for take away. The service and food were great during my visit although I would recommend patience and flexibility when visiting. Menu is included in the post.

“Food was good. My wife ordered a New York strip medium rare that came undercooked. But, it was quickly remedied and she truly enjoyed to new steak. Service was ok, although we had to keep looking for the server or keep asking other servers for service. Overall, a good restaurant with reasonable prices and food food.“

“Paulina, is an awesome bartender and is very good at what she does. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Turkey and dressing 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!!!“

“Great place to eat. Usually hard to get seating during lunch but it seems that the first winter storm for South Texas kept many people at home. The poblano soup is really good here and there are many kinds of soups, salads, and grill items. Something for everyone.“
