Food I had brisket and sausage. I can only describe the brisket as beef bacon could of done with a chainsaw to get through it, and the sausage as chewing rubber, even the ducks and pigeons turned it down, condiments sitting in the sun well out of date, festering away, turning into disgusting foul juice

Food was just ok. There in a good spot to drive traffic from visitors to the area, but food and service wasn’t good.

Boy oh boy. First, go see Wil (Blackbeard) at the "to go side" as he is the best. We were greeted by others, but Wil took it upon himself to just try to help us as we searched for a quick drink at another bar we couldn't find, he saw us in distress looking, and offered to help. It was a moment later we abandoned those plans, and sat down at Wil's recommendation, and then abandoned our other restaurant plans all together. We were meant to be here.First, let me tell you, Blackbeard knows his drinks. He hooked us up with a Vodka Martini, with Orange Vodka, then a Peach Soda. Two of the best drinks we had.We started easy with with salsa, guac, and queso with brisket.He then suggested the bison burger, and allowed me to customize to one of the other styles of burger (I mixed the queso burger and the bacon cheese burger) Blackbeard suggested the add-ons of fried onions, and fried Jalapeños, an amazing finish, and likely one of my now top 5 favorite burgers of all time.She had the country fried steak, and you better be hungry. The mashed potatoes finish it off. This steak was tender, full of flavor, and enough for 2.We are sad we are only visiting SanAntonio Riverwalk, because we would likely be back for more weekly.Go by and say Hello to Blackbeard if you see this review, tell him his Jacksonville Florida Eclipse chasers say hello! (Ask him to play some old school music while you are at it! He's got good taste!)

Victor is the BEST bartender in San Antonio at the riverwalk. Friendly, knowledgeable & made our time at the republic if texas so much fun!

$20 per plate is ridiculous for the quality of it. They drown their brisket in nasty bbq sauce to try to cover up the dry brisket.

They have a beautiful menu that was illustrated by a local artist. The atmosphere was great. They also have a pretty good location by the river walk. I ordered a chuck burger. It was not the best burger I have eaten in my life, but it was good. The order cam quickly once they got the order in. Overall, I would consider dropping by again if I ever come back to San Antonio.

Solid OK. Plus is that it is on the River Walk and seating inside does look out onto the view or you can choose to sit outside right on the river's edge.We had two sodas, a plain burger with fries on the side and the Beef Street Tacos which comes with beans and rice. $50 with tip. A bit steep for the quality. But you're paying for convenience and location.Do beware though these days in San Antonio - homeless/drug addicts are everywhere. We didn't walk down a single block where we didn't see someone in a drugged stupor on the street or in the stairwells leading to the River Walk. Keep your street smarts turned on and you'll be OK.

Loved the location by the river and the ambiance of Mexican Texan style interior. Ordered the street tacos. The tacos were ok. The chicken was too dry but overall taste was acceptable. The service was sub par. Felt we were being rushed and the server was reluctant to dry our table and chair. If you're looking for a the river side dining with average food, this is OK.

We were hungry and my son wanted a burger. He inhaled it! He never usually finishes a meal, but he did here. I got the brisket sandwich and it was OK. The BBQ sauce was really good though. I would probably try something else next time.

I bragged to my family about this place. 7 of us went on 3/8 around 2:30. We were sat immediately (it was slow inside as there were only 2 tables sat besides ours). Then nothing. Many people walked by and looked.at us as well as bartender. After.15 minutes we left. We won't go back.
