“Large portions, fresh ingredients, and service with a smile. The staff was so friendly and our order came out quickly. What else can you ask for!“

“While the food was absolutely amazing, we were really disappointed by the service. We were there to celebrate our first anniversary and aside from being a special occasion, my husband is a huge Yankee’s fan, so we were excited and quickly let down by the service we received. The food was superb and the wine selection was equally phenomenal, just wish the service matched the expectation of the experience.“

“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.“

“Has to be considered one of the best coffee places in San Anton'. Well balanced and smooth roast and their add-ons plus bakery items from Bakery Lorraine all served vibrantly by friendly baristas makes Theory great in Practice too!“

“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.“

“Delicious 😋 , service was good , I ordered to go and they let me try the different Curries !“

“ELISE CUISINE is the manifestation of owner Rocio’s ten-year dream, and her dedication and commitment to her dream is evident down to the smallest details. The dining space is simple, but quite lovely, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Service was excellent and perfectly balanced in attentiveness. With hours of 7 AM to 4 PM, this is a breakfast and lunch place, with a varied and adventurous menu that caters to meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and diners in need of gluten-free alternatives. On my first visit, I had the excellent spicy fried chicken sandwich, with sides of home fries and a wonderful arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, quinoa, and a balsamic vinaigrette perfectly blended between sweet and acidic. I look forward to returning again and sampling the extensive breakfast menu. Plenty of beverages are available, and there is a stately espresso machine that speaks to a restaurant that means business when it comes to coffee. This area of Potranco has been in dire need of a sit-down coffee house alternative to Starbucks, and ELISE CUISINE is it. I’ll admit that I was initially a bit cowed by the menu prices, but the portions are very generous; I left with half my meal unfinished, so I was really getting two meals for the price of one, and in truth, virtually all the dine-in, non-fast food alternatives in the area are similarly priced, with nowhere near the ambience and elegance. I plan to be a regular at ELISE CUISINE from here on out.“

“Walking into Comfort Café, you immediately notice a diverse environment, but the profound ministry of second chances happening here is undeniable. As a Christian, I am reminded that scripture calls us to remember that we are all sinners saved by grace, arriving before God in need of His mercy. Christ commands us to love our neighbor, and that heart for restoration is felt the moment you sit down. ​The food portions are generous and excellent, but the real highlight is the staff. Our server, Adrian, treated us with genuine kindness and top-tier attentiveness. The culinary team also deserves immense credit, and my prayer is that they are encouraged by how much their hard work blessed our table. ​Thank you to the leadership for establishing a non-profit model that provides a pathway for recovery and transformation. It is a beautiful thing to see lives being rebuilt, and we are grateful for the warmth and hospitality we experienced.“

“The waiter was kind, sweet and considerable ….the food was incredible I loved every everything♥️“

“First time trying this restaurant. My long time favorite closed so tried this one and the service was fast and excellent. Food was also really good I tried several different entrees and sides and each had really good flavors. I have leftovers...yay! This is a place that will be my new go to for Thai cuisine.“

“Best homemade ice cream and made with alkaline water 🥳🥳😱 worth the drive and the price!“

“Best boba spot in San Antonio, reasonable prices, and they give you a stamp card where on your 9th drink, you get the next one free! They have so many drinks to choose from, my favorite is their house special brown sugar milk tea with Oreo crumble and strawberry jelly! You can’t go wrong with the strawberry milk tea, or even make something like a peach milt tea which isn’t even on the menu but they will help you make your dream boba! Everything has tasted so good. You can work here, have small group meetings, just chill, sit outside and enjoy a nice cool drink on a hot day like Texas here has, or even bring your partner. Woori tea house has given me so many memories and the owners are just amazing and the friendliest.“

“Our server, Josh, was so nice and extremely knowledgeable about the restaurant. He offered amazing suggestions for both food and beverages and even helped us when we were having some questions about the menu. He’s super kind and very personable he went above and beyond for us. I’ve been eating here for years but I will definitely be coming back more frequently he’s so cool ! The roll I ate was sooo delicious I think it was the Paradise roll so compliments to the chef too.“

“Had an amazing time at Jazz TX! Hailey and Andrew were incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience feel special. The music performed was fantastic, exactly the kind of vibe you hope for when you walk into a jazz bar. Will definitely be coming back!“

“A great experience! This is definitely a well kept San Antonio secret. Food was excellent with generous portions (lamb chops a must try). Service was prompt, courteous, and answered all our menu questions (ask for Sasha). Building and bathrooms clean. A definite do-again!“

“I’ve lost count of how often I have eaten here. The food and service has always been exemplary. I fear I’ve turned too many people on to this gem as it’s often crowded now. If you have to wait for a table, it’s worth the wait!“

“Good Pizza & drinks!!!!!!“

“My husband arranged to have my birthday dinner here and it was the best food/ service we have had in all of San Antonio. I would not only recommend those to try a meal here, but I am currently making an inquiry to have this place be considered a Michelin star restaurant. It was that good. That attention to both flavor and ingredients were amazing, the food came out perfect and we were genuinely satisfied with our meal. The service was also stellar, our server was actually one of the chefs in the kitchen so hearing her recommendations made our dinner choices easier and much more enjoyable. Thank you for making my birthday dinner so much fun!“

“Hosting my client's event at Kababchi Grill was an absolute delight! From start to finish, everything was flawless. The ambiance was inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was simply outstanding. My clients were thoroughly impressed with the delicious food, and the accommodating staff ensured that every detail of our event was executed seamlessly. I highly recommend Kababchi Grill for any special occasion or gathering. Five stars all around!“

“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!“

“This was hands down my favorite place to dine while visiting San Antonio. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Riverwalk, it offered a peaceful and inviting atmosphere that felt like a hidden gem. It was such a refreshing change of pace—quiet, relaxed, and full of character. From the moment I walked in, the service was top notch. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving. I never felt rushed, and everyone made sure I was comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire meal. The menu was a wonderful surprise. I had the chance to try several dishes I had never eaten before, and each one was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can really tell that care and creativity go into every plate. It was an experience that made me want to come back before I had even finished my meal. If you’re visiting San Antonio and looking for a spot that offers incredible food, exceptional service, and a calm escape from the typical tourist areas, I can’t recommend this place enough. It truly made my trip more memorable.“

“Staff at La Cantera location were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful!! 🙌I reserved a dinner for a party of 40 and they were able to accommodate us all! For a party of 35, the food was served rather fast! 10/10 experience! and food was very TASTY! 😋“

“Delicious gelato and the affogato is to die for!“

“Georgia and Nicole kicked ass!! 30 minutes before close online orders flew in and a line emerged like a midday rush. shoutout to those girls for handling it with an awesome attitude . Cava is my favorite place to eat i felt terrible for coming right before close and they made me feel like it was no issue. Thank you again ladies!“

“Abby Baron is a shining star! Down to the smallest details, her personable and professional style of service should be trained to others! Makes or breaks a customer’s experience, even if the food is bad (although that’s never a problem here)“

“La Fonda is a beloved spot for authentic Mexican cuisine, flavorful dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features classic favorites made with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and vibrant flavors. Friendly service and a warm dining experience make it a great place to enjoy a memorable meal.“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite place to eat in San Antonio. Located near the airport in a tucked away location, RO-HO Pork & Bread is a hidden gem. This is comfort food at it's finest. Ro-Ho has many great things on the menu, but they are best known for their Torta Ahogada, and it's what I get almost every time. The torta is always hot, the carnitas cooked to perfection, and the tomato salsa is to die for. You can get the torta with straight carnitas or you can mix it up with carnitas, pork stomach and skin, which is what I usually get. The torta also comes with cabbage, onion, radish and lime. No matter how you order it, it's going to be great! The place is super cool, with Mexican artwork and music. There is inside seating and an outside covered patio as well. Everything you can get to drink from the cold case is always ice cold. And they serve one of my favorite Mexican beers, Victoria. Chef Rojo is often around and greets customers. The ladies that work the register and food line are so friendly, and will answer questions if it's your first time. The place fills up quickly at lunch, so keep that in mind. I drive clear across town for my Torta Ahogada fix, if that says anything! Check this place out!“

“Delicious appetizers to share with drinks and creative casual eats. Fun Guy was a great take on the mushroom burger. I took my burger with a salad, which I do not regret. Discovering the house chips will require a future visit. The crab rangoon dip is a perfectly portioned shareable, unless you're craving a great cream cheese dish.“
