“I had a lovely experience dining in by myself at this establishment. I had their “Feed Me” special, which is a 6 course hike: a volume heavy, rich, savory, journey. The hostess was very active throughout the night, saw her running food, bussing tables, she watered my glass, and got me fresh silverware on one of my courses. All front of house staff were kind, knowledgeable, engaging, and active, the chef also greeted, and engaged with guests as they arrived/left. Very pleasant dining experience, real professionals that hit the mark well. Good pacing on coursing, fresh everything always, good wine, great food, comfortable experience, I'd come back again while in town in a heartbeat. The only thing I'd say is that mushroom salad with the pomegranates at the start was killer. The tart when it shined through to ride along that fresh Parmesan funk was a real treat, I almost wish a similar tart or acidity came back with the broccolini/pork dish to help prepare for the rest of the battle! All-in-all though each dish was killer, hope I can visit again!“

“Thank you Stephanie for being the best at what you do. The food and drink were fantastic. Our outside table, the service, the river view were over the top! Jim n Susan!“

“Everything was amazing. I will be back!“

“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???!!!“

“We dined at Bliss to celebrate my husbands birthday. Wow!! It did not disappoint! Kaylei was absolutely wonderful! She was so very attentive and pleasant throughout the whole evening. The food was delicious and wine was impeccable! We will return!!“

“This is our five or six time here. The employees are great at Potranco rd in San Antonio ! We came for dinner and Kristy was awesome. The food is fresh and flavor is consistent. I highly recommend this location and restaurant!! Five stars and give Kristy a raise she’s great! The staff was quick and always smiling!!!!! The parking has shaded areas to the side. This is a must have in San Antonio. Excellent team!!!!!!!!❤️🙏🏻“

“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.“

“Been here multiple times. The vibe, food, service, classiness is top notch. Love love love“

“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.“

“Absolutely would go back again! Food was awesome! Ice cream in a waffle cone or bowl! Just a fun environment for sure!“

“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.“

“Great food and Great Service“

“Place is great for date night! They always have and make good food. No complaints. Sometimes their sweet tea is a little too sweet. Gotta try it and maybe sometimes see if they have lemons or something, but they're a really good food spot! No complaints.“

“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! 💛“

“Marcus, the Chef who made my steak, killed it! It was so delicious, the portion sizes were beautiful and the meal was well plated.
Josh the manager was incredibly upbeat and friendly and quick on his feet. He made my son’s birthday experience wonderful for him. Absolutely will be back again!“

“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!“

“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!(:“

“This burger place is actually quite fantastic“

“I love the restaurant the food is the best suzy was best Waitress very kind and always made shar that we had coffee and with a smilewas very nice can't wait to eat there again“

“Our waiter abandoned us in the middle of the meal, we would’ve had a few more drinks if he ever came back around. We saw him leave the restaurant. We had to grab someone and ask for our check. We had the seafood platter, the fries were barely cooked, it was like eating a raw potato. The shrimp and fish with it were great. We don’t know how they messed up fries though.“

“We visited Outlaw Kitchen tonight for the first time & it was an amazing experience! From the staff to the wine to the food it was a fantastic dinner! Johanna was our waitress and she was so beautiful & lovely to speak with! The owners, Peggy & Paul, were gracious & felt like family. 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!“

“Awesome food! Will be back soon!!!“

“we had a party of 18 ppl.Denise our waitress was really awesome. service ,food ,drinks were great.everyone enjoyed it“

“Atmosphere and service was wonderful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. It is small and quaint do not too noisy. Food came out hot not lukewarm like other places. Our waitress Ahlyssa was so nice and made great recommendations. I will definitely be going back.“

“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!!!“

“Guess it was busy because even the hostess was helping the wait staff get items for customers. Only waited a minute for our Sunday reservation. It was half full at 5 so plenty of room. Russ was our waiter a cool guy and on point when we needed him. Would've liked him to ask a few more probing questions or toss or some recommendations since it was our first time there. Probably would've spent a little more on appetizer or another drink. And that first house special was great. Cougar bait. Lol everyone enjoyed their meals and the portions were perfect not too much that we were stuffed, not too little that we were scraping plates. Had room for dessert afterwards which is a pleasant bonus. I didn't like that the doors remained open the entire time because the gnats and mosquitos kept interrupting our conversations and enjoyment of the meal. Wasn't sure if the gnats were from the bar or from the outside and I tried not to dwell on it.“

“I stopped in for breakfast and LOVED it. Any diner that has multiple old man groups, a cake and pie cooler front and center, and a lunch counter you can sit at, sign me up. They are bound to have good vittles! And Jim’s did not disappoint. I got the Texas Two Step breakfast. The pancakes were some of the best I’ve had. Sweet, moist, and fluffy. You almost didn’t need any syrup. I was very impressed. The bacon and eggs were just extra to make it all good. The menu looked fantastic and I hope to come back to SA one day to try out other things. Until then, keep doing your thing Jim’s!“

“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:)“

“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“

“No complaints on this joint. Very neat atmosphere. You’re sitting in a very old house which was really neat. The food was very good, you were not left wishing for more and price seemed on point. Waitress was nice and kept up with us well.“

“Ate at Twin Peaks today at SW Twin Peaks .. Elexis served me and never missed a step with drinks or asking about the food .. Her friendly smile and happy personality made me have a great day .. I will be back . By far the best in San Antonio .. She is 6 star service. Thank you and I will tell my friends to eat there... The best.“
