Beerhead Bar & Eatery

Kiara (sp), our server, and the close proximity to our house are the only reasons for the stars.
Beerhead, a chain, is located in a very small strip mall on the corner of Babcock and Huermann near UTSA.
Kiara seated and served us and she couldn’t have been more engaging, pleasant, and hardworking. She walked us through the menu and was congenial throughout our meal.
We ordered a pomegranate Paloma which was extremely well-balanced in flavor and punch. My husband’s black-and-tan was more tan than black, but not everyone has the skill to make it correctly.
The pickle fries were very gimmicky: charge them for the full spear, label it as “fries” and cut the wedges skinnier to maximize profit. Well played. They did have a nice exterior, but their awesome sauce was just great.
My son and hubby ordered the founder’s burger with fries. My hubby added a side Caesar salad and it was literally a bowl of romaine with croutons, not dressed, no Parmesan. It came with a side of dressing that “tastes like Newman’s Own.” Their burgers tasted “like frozen patties.” My daughter’s mushroom Swiss was good. My husband’s garlic-parm fries were limp, soggy, but tasted decent.
The evening came abruptly to an end when I took a third bite from my “crispy” chicken founder’s sandwich. I had a bad feeling when the “crispy chicken” sandwich came out looking more like the grilled version. I had to pinch and peel the “breading” on the breast, it was so thin. When I got towards the center of the sandwich (not even halfway through), I noticed the texture changed. I looked at the sandwich and saw it wasn’t fully cooked. I immediately spat out that mouthful and started gagging.
We called the manager over and she made the excuse “It’s a pre-cooked patty so it’s not raw.”
But it’s not cooked correctly!
As a chef of more than 20 years, my belief is that every chef should experience food poisoning so they appreciate the importance of safe food handling. The cooks at Beerhead need that lesson. Even IF the chicken comes in precooked, they still didn’t prepare it according to the package instructions. It was not served at a safe temperature; never mind the fact they’re charging us for precooked food but claiming to have an “upscale bar menu”. Serving precooked food at those prices is beyond.
I deal with an autoimmune disorder so food poisoning can land me in the hospital faster than most. I urgently wanted you get home and purge to get what I could out of my body, but we had to wait for the check. They did take my sandwich and the pickle fries off the check, so we didn’t pay for that. I DO believe that paying $90 for a family of four (with my sandwich taken off) is still too much for precooked, uncooked food.
I can’t recommend this place at all.

Food , service and atmosphere is what you would expect for a place like this. But, we had two beers and 6 wings and it came to $35 plus tip. That seems expensive given they were not even pints. Great selection of beers. Go during Happy Hour only.

Great beer selection (sampling allowed - which is awesome) and pizza was delicious ( definitely house made - not frozen deep fried stuff at this place). You should definitely check it out.

This place was an absolute surprise on our way back into town from golfing amidst SATX traffic—I wish this was where we lived or they operated closer to the metroplex—-canNOT recommend them enough!!!!!!

Been here twice “waiting to be seated” sat myself both times food has been below average for a place who’s main dish is pizza.. been disappointed both times with food, drinks are great server and bartenders are great excluding the time I got sent away 30 minutes before closing. Not sure what clientele they are going for but manager wouldn’t except my torn $100 bill not sure why and I’d hate to sssume anything other than policy.. but honestly I’d take the extra 10 mins to eat somewhere at the rim. They also close at 10 or sometimes 9:30 depending on their mood 😂

My boys and I always enjoy Beerhead. Been here several times and never been disappointed. Also ordered to go and it was nicely packaged, good food, and fast service. I have friends and family that also enjoy this place. Nice atmosphere, nice outdoor space, lots of tvs with sports on. Full bar, good food.

Met up with a few friends and made some new ones. Beerhead has a good selection of brews on tap. The bar food, wings and pizza were good but the service was excellent. Would certainly go back to try a few of the unique offerings.

They gave me popcorn chicken in sauce when I ordered Boneless wings! They were literally nasty chicken nugget mix inside a tiny ball

Beerhead has become our go-to place over the last 10-12 months. The owners go out of their way to make their customers feel welcome and cared for. We generally sit at the bar and every bartender makes us feel like we are their only customer. When our kids are home from college, we bring them for dinners in the dining room. Literally EVERY server has been excellent.

We are so thankful Beerhead is here!

I’ve been here several times and I’ve never had an issue until tonight. The bartender clearly feels favoritism over certain customers as I was sitting enjoying my beverage when two of his friends came in and he decided it would be a good idea to move me to another seat to accommodate them, which I felt to be absolutely despicable. I am paying patron, not a pawn on a chessboard. Didnt feel welcomed at all and decided to leave right then and there. As somebody who bartended for almost a decade, it’s not up for the bartender to move people around to suit his liking. Let the customers figure that out for themselves.

The atmosphere is amazing and the beer selection is extensive. Best part of the experiences the staff. Thank you, Roxy for the level of service provided. ;-)
