    Chicken Fried Steak
    Stephen C.

    Cozy tiny diner with big flavor and always friendly attentive service. Sometimes I wish they had more seating but then they would not be a tiny diner. I have enjoyed everything I've tried. Having St Arnold's Root Beer is a big gold star for me.

    5 stars! This has to be the nicest, cleanest, sweetest diner we've ever visited. Yes, true to the name, it is tiny, but big on great service & delicious food. We had omelets, hash browns, a classic egg breakfast and the BIGGEST pancakes you've ever seen. Everything was so good. I'm glad we passed on the chain restaurants and found Beau's for breakfast. Bonus: super clean bathroom! I imagine many people may never discover Beau's because it's about a mile from the Riverwalk. But it was worth the short drive.

    This is exactly what I want when I want a salad wrap however I don't know if I want it for $18. The location and interior of the restaurant are extremely cute.

    Great find near downtown San Antonio for breakfast. The restaurant is cozy yet bright and airy with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is amazing here. The hash browns are very thin shreds of potatoes lightly crisped and not greasy. Eggs are buttery smooth and not cooked a second longer than necessary. Every menu item we've sampled here has been excellent. Service comes across as casual yet professional. This is our new go to for breakfast in SATX. Highly recommended.

    Finally made it to Beau's in Southtown for a late lunch. I have heard good things about it and we were not disappointed. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with beer and wine available. My wife and I had the tuna sandwich and the patty melt. Both were outstanding, and very sizable. We are a little older, and easily could have split a sandwich. Both orders came with their version of French fries which were crinkle cut discs and done absolutely perfectly. The service was attentive and cordial. We can't wait to come back for a breakfast/brunch. We highly recommend trying this place out before everyone discovers it and it gets really busy.

    My dinner at this quaint Southtown eatery was spot on. Beau's specializes in Southern cuisine, prepared simply and with fresh ingredients. The highlight of my visit was the chicken fried steak. The dark, perfectly seasoned breading - which is fried in beef tallow - was delicious. The staff was friendly. We truly felt welcome by Tony and team. Highly recommend... cheers!

    There were four of us, so we got to try several things this morning. The burrito was a hit and I loved the (creamy jalapeño?) sauce on the side, my French omelet and crispy hash browns were mildly over salted but delicious. Chicken and waffle got very good reviews but too small. And the migas also received two thumbs up. They do not skimp on the cheese! The service was friendly and we didn't wait long even though it was getting busy. Love the location and the name! We sat outside and enjoyed some people watching and a nice San Antonio morning.

    What a cute corner diner! The vibes were immaculate and really captured that fun diner energy. They offer a wide array of brunch items from sandwiches to omelettes. The food was delicious as expected. Our orders came out in a timely manner and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. I had an excellent experience overall

    First off, today was beautiful and sitting outside was a total delight. The music *Neil Young and The Doors felt perfect, though later was no match for the place across the street lol* The service was great, really cool, friendly staff. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy. I got the chicken and waffles, really juicy, crunchy chicken that might have stolen the show from the waffle, poor thing was flattened beneath the chicken. The kids got the pancakes and they were truly huge. We should have gotten them one pancake to split vs sharing the one order that comes with two. I don't want to dislike anything because the place is so cute, and the people are so nice and I loved the experience but the pancake wasn't great. I don't think it was fully cooked and was just super dense. I love pancakes, and this one was indeed huge but didn't taste great to me. Other than that when we're back in town we'll be back. I loved this place.

    Tiny water glasses (that were never empty)
    Mitzi M.

    Friendly, cute, delicious. We went on a Saturday night, but early, so it was easy to get a table. I was surprised they gave us such tiny water glasses (about 8 oz) but they constantly refilled them throughout the meal, making me feel really cared for. The staff was very friendly. The manager, Tony, came over and talked to every table: he is just delightful. We ordered meatloaf and the green chicken enchiladas. It was all very good. They serve breakfast all day here. Seinfeld was streaming on the one TV. There are limited tables, but you also have the option of sitting at a bar overlooking South Alamo, or one that watches the kitchen.

    Super small venue, but well taken care of with a super friendly staff. I was very impressed with their menu and the quality of the food. The pricing is a bit high, but in the area, it is on par. Try the oatmeal for a stick to your bones breakfast option.

    This restaurant is truly a tiny gem. They have a wonderful breakfast menu. My friend and I got the chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and one pancake, all of which were delicious. I will say this is truly a tiny diner so on the weekends, you may have a bit of a wait. Also, it will be difficult to accommodate parties larger than four. I would say that this is a great place for one to two people to come for breakfast. They are opening their airstream trailer for the summer to serve coffee and juices out of which will be fun. Also, there is a TV behind the counter playing Seinfeld. It's great

    Okay so we accidentally ended up at Beau's Tiny Diner after our original brunch spot ghosted us (their hours were fictional). But fate said "nah, you're going to Beau's," and now I'm obsessed. This place is adorable -- but don't let the size fool you. The flavor? Classic. The energy? Vibrant. The humans? Lovable. We got lucky and sat right away, but everyone who came in after us had to wait. (Pro tip: arrive hungry and early, or be ready to romanticize standing outside for a bit.) The manager Tony came over and chatted like we were regulars. This man is hospitality personified. He didn't even know that we were in our brunch flop era, and asked if we lived close... He literally gave us the most genuine appreciation and thanked us for making the trip. He SAW us. Like?? Sir?? I would fight for you now and forever. Tony also hit us with some elite menu recs. My fiancé ordered the breakfast with a pork chop (based on the rec) and cleaned his plate like it was his job. I got a biscuit breakfast sandwich because Tony said we could do whatever subs we wanted on the menu. Love the flexibility. Shout out to the seasoned hashbrowns. So nice that they were actually flavored. Almost too salty, but after the bland potato trauma of other diners, I respect it. Also after I requested milk with my coffee, our server brought me more with every refill WITHOUT asking. If that's not love, idk what is. Yes, the kitchen forgot my bacon and the aioli, but they fixed it. The space is teeny-tiny and the whole team was moving like a brunch ballet back there, so I get it. They're clearly in their opening stretch, still finding their rhythm -- but the vibe, the kindness, and the people make it so worth it. If you're looking for a TikTok-worthy spot with soul, Beau's is that girl. It's giving diner-core with Jewish roots. It's giving "we actually care if you're having a good day." It's giving me another reason to come back.

    I'm glad I gave them another try. I dined here a few months ago and didn't enjoy the food as much…read moreas I would have liked. But today, it was a success! Fried Green tomatoes - 10/10 Grits - 10/10 Praline Bacon - 10+++ Avocado - 10/10 Biscuits - 9/10 Scrambled Eggs w/Cheese - 6/10. After all that cheese and cajun seasoning, they were still tasteless. I added black pepper and it helped. My chai latte with oatmilk and a little caramel topped the meal off. Oh, and I ordered some beignets to-go. I remember those being good. I got 3 classics and 1 stuffed with peaches and cream. The music was a mixture between jazz, r&b, and a little funk. It added a nice touch on this rainy morning, especially jamming to James Brown. The hotness was friendly and looked like she was ready for her day. And Sara, our waitress, had a nice disposition early in the morning. She was pleasant, friendly, and efficient.

    I've been to NOLA, the city, during the Madri Gras season, so I was looking forward to trying NOLA,…read morethe restaurant. I had my family join me for brunch, and unfortunately, it left us with questions. The biggest question was, "Where was the favor?" I knew I wouldn't like the chicory coffee, yet there was another option available that I enjoyed more that was a decaf. The child's plate was one of the worst kid's meal values I've seen in a while. It was $10 for one tender and a beignet. The tender was small and left my child wanting more, so I paid $7 for an extra tender. Please consider a plate that has two tenders and fruit or potatoes for older kids since this was sized for a toddler. The $10 Doggy Meal looked like it could have provided that option since it came with grilled chicken, sweet potato, and steamed rice. The adult plates had enough food for an actual meal, so we shared our plates with my child who only wanted more chicken and potatoes at that point. The Bayou BLT was okay, yet nothing to rave about. My husband wasn't impressed with the Blue Crab Omelette, and my aunt said her Catfish St. Charles was very bland. We all had an order of beignets that were tough and chewy. My husband and I have had freshly baked and powdered beignets at Cafe Du Moude, so these tiny versions were a tough sell. What did have flavor? The Bananas Foster pancakes, which was the better dessert option. While the restaurant itself was cute, expect table service to be long. We constantly waited for waitstaff to return to refill coffee, bring napkins, or furnish a needed utensil. Also, the parking will be tight. We were lucky to get spots adjacent to the restaurant rather than offsite, yet you will be watched like a hawk when you attempt to leave. People want those spots. If you want the feel of brunch with okay-ish food at expensive prices, come to NOLA the restaurant. If you're expecting to relive the actual taste of NOLA the city, start booking your next getaway for the real deal.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.
