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???!!!“

“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.

Mary made sure our party was well received, service was present and attentive without being intrusive or overbearing. Really, really well done from start to finish. One of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, thank you!“

“I was lucky to be seated in Melanie’s section at Twin Peaks on Zabala Street. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Excellent service — she did an amazing job!“

“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! 💛“

“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.“

“Awesome food! Will be back soon!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great service phenomenal Food!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“BARNEY WAS AN EXCELLENT WAITER, ATTENTIVE, KNOWLEDGABLE OF THE MENU AND MADE US FEEL WELCOME. FOOD WAS SUPERB. WOULD HAVE LIKE TO HAD SOME BREAD AND BUTTER PRIOR TO ENTREE, WHILE WE WAITED, BUT WASN'T AN ISSUE, JUST A CASE OF BEING HUNGRY, LOL.“

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!!!“

“Amazing visit today at my Jim's. Everything was cooked to order and my waiter Chris was very attentive to my needs.

I loved walking in and they were fully Christmas decorated with some Christmas 🎄 carols already playing. The environment was very pleasant and peaceful.“

“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“

“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.“

“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:)“

“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.

“we got married yesterday and decided to go to boiler House for our dinner. We made the reservation a day in advance although I don't think we had to. There were a total of four of us there so we were easily sat, and they even had our table ready. Our server's name was Jasmine and she was very helpful with any questions we had. The staff was so warm and welcoming, both congratulating us and writing us a hand written card. The management even gave us three small appetizers on the house to congratulate us on our wedding. Everything was exquisite from beginning to end. They combined flavors that you don't find anywhere else. They gave us a complimentary dessert as well. Naturally we chose the white chocolate bread pudding. It was without a doubt the best bread pudding I've ever had and we ate every last bite even though we were full. The service alone is reason we will be back, but we can't wait to see what deliciousness they will dream up next.“
