Embers Wood Fire Kitchen & Tap

They lost me when they got rid of my favorite dish - 3 Little Pigs. It’s all I ever ordered.

Embers was a very friendly and comfy vibe. Enjoyed the specials they had and many choices. We will be back to try more! Maui Waui pizza was delicious and chicken fried chicken lunch portion was big and juicy.

I was really starting to like the 1604 restaurant for their hamburgers. But then we went there on Thursday night 8/21/25 around 5:30pm and ordered their shrimp plate, a hamburger and some ribs. The shrimp were terrible, we only ate 2 out of around 10 and tossed them. The hamburger meat was way overcooked, and the ribs were lame. I would’ve told the waitress, but she didn’t come and check on us until 30 minutes later when we were done. Very disappointing after spending over $80. Still tipped her 15%, but normally tip 20%+. I did tell the manager before we left that we were disappointed, did not seem to matter. I won’t be going back. 😒 Too many good restaurants to waste my time at a failing one.

The pulled pork and pineapple pizza is great.

We are from out of town and had visited this place about a year ago and thought it was great. This latest visit was disappointing. The food portions are way smaller but the prize seems to have increased. The food was not well seasoned and didn’t look fresh. We had left overs the previous time the serving sizes are way too small. The waitress hardly checked on us. I didn’t get a refill until after I finished my meal because she was nowhere to be found. Last year’s experience was great but we will probably not return after our last visit. It’s very disappointing because it is located right next to a hotel we frequent.

We’ve driven by this place for 6 years before finally deciding to stop in. It has now become a regular in our rotation.

I’ve loved everything we’ve tried. The steak is excellent and the pizza is some of the best around. I hated grilled romaine until I had it here; now I’m obsessed. Chef Ruben doesn’t mess around.

Great selection of beer to boot.

Ask for ‘Alex’, Joey, Chris, Maddi, or Alyson—you’re in good hands!

We loved the food! This is a local place, not a chain. Atmosphere was fantastic! If we ever come back to San Antonio area we will come back again!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!

Great atmosphere the food and drinks were great but our server was not good. She completely ignored us. We sat on patio. And then lied about being out of cocktail sauce for my family when we watched another server bring some out. Who knows maybe that was the last one. But just didn't really care about our table. We grew up in the restaurant business and we were disappointed 😞

First time visiting, and I was excited to try it. Waitress walked by several times but never came over. Sat there for 10 minutes and then we left.

The food taste most excellent! Unfortunately for us, it didn't agree with our stomachs! Waitress could have been a little quicker to check on us, but overall it was a good experience!

Food is nice and decently priced.

Visited about last Tuesday Feb 25th around 7 at night the bartender was very busy the entire time but he still managed to get our food and drinks out to us in a quick manner. If everyone in your staff is this efficient then you are running a solid company.
