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.“

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

“Biga On The Banks In San Antonio Tx.“

“The food is excellent. Doesn’t matter what elect. Presentation is lovely. The atmosphere is ambient, mild, relaxed and grown. Go with someone you enjoy talking to.
The manager made her rounds. She listed all chef’s choices for the evening. We chose all her recommendations which were the burrata. The tomatoes were sliced to almost sashimi thin and delightfully seasoned. The mozzarella was fresh and tasty. We ordered the Wagyu steak which was so perfectly cooked it almost melted in my mouth!!! For dessert we had the flourless dark chocolate mousse that was paired with an excellent watermelon sorbet!!! Our waiter Lico was incredibly attentive, friendly and pleasant. I won’t overlook the bussers. They remained vigilant throughout the entire evening. Every empty plate was immediately removed and every half glass was promptly filled! We will be back.
Sorry all I have were pics of dessert. Go by! You won’t regret it!!!“

“amazingly delicious food as well as 5 star service“

“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.💯🙏🇨🇱♥️“

“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.“

“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! 💛“

“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“

“Everything there is fresh… Do you want to taste a good burger? Try this one!“

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

“Boudro’s has the best Guacamole! They make it right at your table. It was so good, I had them make me a second batch to take home with me! They are right on the river walk and minutes from the shopping area. A must try!“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Vanessa was our server, and she just took out entire experience of eating a heart and yummy meal at “Corrine” to the next level. The food was good but her way of making everything right and her recommendations just made our entire experience unforgettable. Thanks a lot Vanessa and the team at Corrine.“

“Omg so good the 🍔 love my Chocolate Brownie Shake“

“Awesome diner. We found this gem while visiting San Antonio for 4 days from Arizona. The food was made fresh and was delicious. Very good prices and good portions. If you love diner food this is the spot to go in San Antonio. It's 24 hours which is a good thing also. Donny our server was excellent and provided outstanding customer service. I definitely will go again if I'm ever in San Antonio. Wish you guys open one in the Phoenix area. Loved it!“

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!“

“First time dining at Fish City Grill at 7010 W Loop 1604 N and could not have been happier with the food, service and all-around experience. My wife and I were eating out on our 22nd wedding anniversary and chose this location based on the online menu and reviews. She had the blackened cobia tacos on the special of the day menu and I had the fried seafood platter. Both were excellent as was the shrimp and crab queso appetizer. In addition, our waiter brought us a free sampler that included the roasted jalapeno soup, crab bisque, clam chowder and gumbo. All were delicious. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive throughout our meal and presented us with a 20% off coupon for our next visit. We were surprised that the place was not more crowded than it was on a Saturday evening, because the food and overall experience should be attracting a big clientele. Again, thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful dining experience. And for anyone thinking about visiting, don't hesitate. You're missing a great meal at a very reasonable price.“

“No wait time and food was decent BUT our waitress Alessandra went far and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Need more staff like her! Thanks again for all your help with recommending different food/drink options! Will definitely come back“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This burger place is actually quite fantastic“

“Fantastic! I had the Karrage chopped salad for lunch and it was delicious. Tastiest chicken I have ever had. Service was great. Intimate atmosphere, good cocktail assortment. Creative menu and different from the usual tourist fare.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and Great Service“

“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!!!“

“Alexa was awesome when we brought our kids on valentines weekend. So much so that the kids have asked to go back for more! 🤣 -the mom of hairy, shrimpy and puppy“

“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.“

“Francisco was on top of it and made us feel like we were the only ones at the restaurant. The food was good and the staff great!“

“Hands down what will be our best meal in San Antonio! The Brekky was to die for! Thank you. WELL worth the money! My only regret is that I did not take a picture to share.“

“We had a party for my nephew's graduation. Not only did they ask if I wanted a personalized menu but also help us move where we were located due to possible weather conditions. I want to thank Jennfer Daisy for their personal attention but also their suberb hospitality.“
