“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I’ve known Carsen for a while now, and every time I see him and Annie at the ticket bar, I know it’s going to be a smooth and positive experience. They both bring such good energy — professional, friendly, and always on point. Whether it’s a hectic night or a chill one, Carsen and Annie handle it with ease and make everyone feel welcome. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows. Leave Definitely two of the best — the ticket bar wouldn’t be the same without them!“

“I Recommend The Brisket It Was So Good And My Server Was So Attentive Franklin You Are Awesome Also The Food Was Good I Will Definitely Be Going Back ❤️“

“Kindling Texas Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. The food was excellent, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. I stopped in later in the day, so quite a few menu items were already sold out, which tells me they're popular and making food fresh. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, and a great fit for downtown Cibolo. I'll be back a little earlier next time so I can try more of the menu. Overall, a great local restaurant that I'd happily recommend.“

“Received excellent service from Michelle today, she was very welcoming and always made sure I had what I needed, food was great!“

“Vert nice and comfortable surroundings, the bar staff is always attentive. Gabby is always cheerful and greats you with a smile.“

“This was the best place to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious and the restaurant is clean and comfy. The owner and his wife were there to personally wish me a happy birthday. Try the poached pear for dessert; one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Congratulations Dave on a restaurant I’ll definitely visit again!“

Good portions.
Waitstaff is knowledgeable about the menu and substitutions.
Waitstaff is friendly.“

“Very nice place good is yummy“

“Love, love, love this bar! Taylor and the girls are amazing and the friendliest bartenders. My new favorite neighborhood bar! ❤️❤️“

“Hello, this post has been a long time coming and I can finally give kudos to this lovely dining experience and delicious food! My work team had our year end lunch here for about 17 people including two kiddos and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate even in a mom/pop size restaurant. We felt like one big family hanging out eating some great food (***** stew, oxtail, catfish and bomb sides). You can bring your own drink too (and act appropriately of course?). My company has also catered food with Momma Luvs and the food is just as great as dining in! Please come by and get your plate(s) and I’m sure you’ll be back because my coworkers and I have surely been returning customers!! Big up!“

“Generally red lobster has outstanding service. Not today. It was obvious our server was new because she was unsure of herself and didn't know her products. She also didn't ask the the right questions and failed to write down the stuff she should be remembering. She never asked about the sides for my daughter's meal The appetizers came out before the drinks. There was a fly in our margarita which they were quick to replace. My order came out almost as my other quests were finishing their food. There were 7 total people at our table. A new person should never have been serving us out at least been helped by an experienced trainer. Five guests orders were incorrect and the other two plates came out as everyone else was finishing their food. I had to ask three times to get my drink refilled. The whole dinner took so long that the guests of honor who was having his birthday actually had to leave. They came out with his birthday ice cream after he left. Food was delicious though and I'm sure this was just an isolated incident. Or at least I hope.“

“Loved In & Out Burger in CA. Now live near Corpus Christi, TX We need I&O 🍔 in Corpus Christi, TX. Pleeassse! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ San Antonio is closest loc to me. 2 hrs away. 👋“

“The Purple Pig was recommended to me, and I recommend this outstanding BBQ eatery enthusiastically. The best pulled pork BBQ I've eaten has been in Tennessee. Nothing to compare. We'd pick up frozen pulled pork in Tennessee and bring it back to Texas as a treat. Nothing to compare until our first visit to The Purple Pig in June. Meets and exceeds our high standards to perfection. Don't miss this delightful experience. There are many things that makes the pulled pork extraordinary. Quality. Pecan smoked, not common to Texas. Wonderful sides. Add to the excellence of the food is the service and the quaint, charming setting. Five stars.“

“Loved the sweet glaze on the sizzling Bourbon Chicken Skillet!!!!“

“Friendly service l, fun shopping trip and great food. Appreciate the early bird dinner specials!“

“My father in law had dinner there tonight, used to be my mother in law and his fav place to eat. She passed a few weeks ago. Manager came up to him and offered his condolences and paid for his meal. So classy and thoughtful. They really made it a special night for him ❤️“

“Had the pleasure of being treated here and it was amazing! From the friendly staff, great flavor, affordable cost and chill atmosphere it felt like eating with family. Even got the chance to get recommendations from a man who visited 5 times in last 3 weeks and was planning his next visit mid bite! Definitely recommend, you’ll leave away full with food left over!“

“Great service, great food .“

“Shot out to Mia, for the great welcome and menu suggestions! Dropped in on a recommendation from Tido, over at McCombs Ford West, while having some scheduled maintenance done and we were not disappointed! Fantastic staff, fast service and great food! They even have turkey burgers, if you want a leaner meal! Their great selection of menu items will definite have something for everyone in your dining party. 410 and Culbera was our location of choice. We’ll definitely be back!“

“great food Silvia was great great smile“

“Everything was really good 😊“

“On our last stop before heading back home to Houston we were searching for a good place to eat. The place we found didn’t open till 1 pm it was 12:30. As we were looking for reviews at places near our location. We noticed this place along the road and the parking lot was packed. Rule thumb if a place’s parking lot is full, it’s usually very good. And we were right, good homemade food even the coconut cream pie we ended up sharing cause we were so stuffed. I truly tried to stop eating but the food was so good. Stephanie was a great waitress very kind. Ray was also hospitable overall the place had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.. everything that makes a place great!“

“My family finally checked out this place and I'm not sure why we haven't until now!! Staff was all incredibly nice. Very clean restaurant. Prices were good. Everything we had was delicious and made to order. You can tell that love and care were put into everything we got, something I definitely appreciate. I had catfish and fries, it was perfect and definitely satisfied my craving that day. My husband had a Chicago dog and it looked amazing, he enjoyed it. One kid had a gyro and wow, it looked great. She wouldn't let me try it lol. The other kid had kid chicken tenders. They were not your typical frozen nuggets y'all, they were fresh fried chicken and she loved them (picky kid). We will be back. I can't wait to try everything else. Maybe next time I'll remember to get pictures but trust me, give them a visit.“

“This place was amazing. The food was served perfectly. The flavors was amazing. The cheeseburger was juicy and the chicken sandwich was delicious. The chef did an amazing job.
Our server Tucker, was very, attentive , professional and polite.
The manager Ms. Tina was amazing as well.
Definitely we will return soon.“

“Just tried today was very good food at a decent price. Tea needs to be a little stronger and a little sweeter and fried okra needed a little more salt, but will definitely buy again.“

“Great atmosphere, great people and amazing food! Since the reopen and new ownership it has taken a change for the better!! Love you Mary!“

“We've been three times now, and the first two times were great. Tonight made us not want to go back for a long while. The women's bathroom was disgusting. We ordered our food and they were out of bread bowls and potatoes. My daughter ordered off the kids menu, and we paid then 10 minutes later an associate came over and said they don't carry what she ordered anymore. So we switched to something else, that cost less, and we had to ask for the refund of the difference later, they didn't offer. We switched to carry out because the AC was broken (not their fault). One of my kids ordered the kid's Mac and cheese and they gave us a tiny side portion as her meal and when I asked the cashier about it she said it was correct. But then I saw a kid with a sandwich and a side of Mac and cheese and his Mac was the same size as her entree portion. I mentioned this and they said oh yah, you're right, and gave us a second one. We left and I realized we didn't get our drinks, we just ordered water so no loss but just irritating. They also didn't give our kids their cookies in this kids meals, which I didn't realize until we got home. My husband broccoli cheese soup was very watery, and my chicken enchilada soup had maybe 2 pieces of nickel size chicken and nothing else but the soup part. Our sandwiches were good and the kids' food was good. The manager was very nice.“

“We are visiting from Virginia and it was our first stop for a beer since we arrived in Texas. Was not disappointed!!! Awesome service and atmosphere🤠Definitely recommend!!“

“Went today for lunch. It was me and my 4 kids. Eli was amazing! Had a great lunch“

“Lovely dining experience, wonderful service and even better food. Justin was on top of everything, checking on us, making sure we had what we wanted. The food was outstanding! We both enjoyed the lobster, and it was tender and cooked to perfection. Everything from start to finish was top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Not a big menu You will will like it if you like chicken 🍗 it is in front of the movie theater so you can get a bite Before or after your movie“

“Our favorite San Antonio area Chili’s“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“Drink to the max!!!!!!’nn“

“This church has been my home since 2002. My kids have grown up here and have formed forever bonds here. This place is love, this place is family, this place is home!“

“Me and my girlfriend decided to have a little date night and we decided to try out cheddars and it was a great decision our server Ashley was very friendly and attentive but not too much so that it kinda feels overwhelming she really made our evening a fun night out. We will definitely be coming back and requesting her next time! Not to mention she also informed us she was the one who made our cocktails and they came out perfect! Not too strong but just enough for a perfect balance of flavor with a nice little kick.“

“Best cheesesteaks in the area! And ALWAYS get the best customer service here. The staff is so kind and always cook your order to perfection! Will always recommend this place!“
