    Sadly, the food and service need improvement. I went through the drive-through on a Wednesday afternoon and order a simple, four piece chicken. The pieces were oddly cut. The bones were cracked, and one of the pieces was clearly not fresh. When I called to make them aware of it, they simply asked "can you come back so that we can replace it" as if this is the norm. I will simply avoid and chain until I see or I'm made aware that they are doing better.

    This Bill Miller's is the worst. 1. They couldn't add a piece of chicken to the meal...fine... 2. So I order a separate 1 piece meal with a breast for $4.10. 3. Didn't get not 1 breast at all. 4. Not friendly... make customers feel rushed. 5. Not from San Antonio and I will drive out of my way to Foster instead.

    I'm very disappointed in the service at this location. Mind you, I've been to this location since I was in high school, nearly over 20 plus years and I can actually say the service at this location has gone down hill. I have actually moved back to this area 6 years ago and have seen it go down hill since. The wait to order has never taken this long, just to take my order then to have attitude from the staff that you can sense just by placing your order. Then let's not talk about the wait it takes just to get to the window to get your order. I've come at times when there is hardly any people here and I could be sitting in the drive thru like for 15-20 min. Today set me overboard. I ordered online and when I picked up my order I was told they didn't have my order only to see that my order had been sitting on the counter right behind the cashier. Not only that, when I finally get home to eat, I get a salad with what looks like turkey bits in my salad delite.

    Get some!

    Very nice brisket and smoked turkey! Their bbq sauce is good but I even prefer the meat dry personally. The rancher plate with 2 meats is the way to go! My usual preferred sides are the cole slaw, potatoes, and hash browns are always a solid choice! Their pies are quite nice too!

    This Bill Miller restaurant deserves a three star because the portion sizes of the chicken, potatoes and beans were small. I don't eat a lot but when I got my chicken I was very disappointed how small it was. It is definitely not a quarter. The leg was a little larger than a chicken wing. I had to go back and order me brisket, which I was charged another $4.54, bringing the total to $11. Not worth it. Also, the staff was not very attentive. They acted as if they were bothered by having to wait on us. My coworker ordered a chicken sandwich and told me that she was picking out the bones. We will not go to this one again.

    Just because I asked for " light on the ice".
    Teresa C.

    I like Bill Miller's sweet tea, but don't ask for light on the ice at this location because they don't fill it to the top or at least to the 1st blue line.

    Poor excuse for marbled brisket.
    Vicki R.

    We love Bill Miller's BBQ, but this stop wasn't good. The young woman at the counter was not interested in customer service. She tried twice to give us a poor boy sandwich belonging to the OTHER old couple in front of us in line. Then, we had to wait about 5 minutes for marbled brisket after we got two links for two different people served on one plate. The brisket we got was wrapped in paper instead of on a second plate (so we are still sitting there, now with cold sausage, on one plate.) I asked for green beans, but she forgot about those because she was trying to find the owner of the poor boy. Finally, as I'm taking my tray to a table, the worker bee with the poor boy rushed past me bumping into me enough that I could have easily dropped my tray. "Ooops ," and kept walking. Terrible service. Brisket was NOT marbled, and we waited extra time for it. Never again.

    we have the sweetest employees

    I walked in and saw this sign, man the irony. I've never seen a manager treat someone so rudely in my life. I was standing in line and witnessed the young female manager with glasses be obnoxious to a handicapped lady in a wheel chair. She was getting a refill from one of the employees when the manager came around the corner and said, "How many refills have you had??! You only get 3." The lady said, "This is my second one." Then right in front of the lady the manager asked the employee, "How many refills has she had??!" The employee stood there awkardly as she couldn't believe what was going on. Then the manager said, "I just keep seeing you come back up here constantly." The manager was standing behind the counter at a distance shouting in front of everyone, rather than walking to the poor lady in her wheelchair and explaining the policy about refills. Bill Miller was my first job back in High School, this makes me sad how much it has gone down hill.

    Pinkerton's Barbecue is definitely worth the wait! We knew there would probably be a line, but…read morehonestly, good Texas BBQ is worth waiting for! We ordered a little bit of everything because, of course, I wanted to try as much as possible. The staff recommended the pulled pork, and I'm SO glad they did because it ended up being my favorite. It was tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. I actually think I enjoyed it even more than the sausage and brisket. Don't get me wrong, the sausage and brisket were also REALLY good, but the pulled pork was definitely the winner for me. And don't skip the sides; they were all really good, definitely not just an afterthought to the BBQ. Then came dessert... the blueberry cobbler was soooooo good! Warm, sweet, and the perfect way to finish such a delicious BBQ feast. I could have easily gone back for another serving! Yes, you may have to wait, but this place is proof that sometimes the best things really are worth waiting for. Come hungry, order a little bit of everything, and definitely listen to the staff recommendations. And whatever you do, get the pulled pork and blueberry cobbler!

    Party of 2, dined Tuesday 1730 and Wednesday 1230…read more OVERALL Great service, phenomenal food, good ambiance. SERVICE Cafeteria style. Well organized. Very kind employees. Expect a confirmation of the meat cuts to your satisfaction. BEEF RIB Acquired the middle cut. Beautiful bark (thin), juicy, tender, flavorful, smoky, beefy, digestible, fall off the bone. A single rib is great for 2 people to share. BRISKET Delicious bark, thick cut, juicy, tender, smoky, flavorful. So easy to eat. PORK RIB Fal off the bone. Juice, tender, smoky, and clean pork flavor. Glazed added a subtle sweetness that complimented the savory flavor and fat. Cartilage was tender and smoky. BONELESS CHICKEN THIGH Great smoky flavor. Not dry but moisture content was lower than expected. Very lean. Perfect texture to make a sliced chicken sandwich from. BACON MAC AND CHEESE Full bodied cheese sauce. Elbow macaroni. Bacon flavor was not overwhelming and complemented the Mac and cheese very well. GRANT'S POTATO SALAD Very flavorful! Such a balanced flavor of tang from mustard and pickles, herbs, and pepper. Well texture. Flavor went really well with the beef rib. TANGY COLESLAW Suble tang, not sour at all. Great cabbage texture, seasoned well, and not runny or thick. Great, refreshing complement to the smoky and fatty meats. Very fresh. PIMENTO CHEESE & CRACKERS Savory, hefty texture, and freshly made. Lights sweet flavor of Pimentos definetaly tasted. SMOKED BREAD PUDDING Must try! Freshly prepared upon ordering. Bread Pudding is full bodied. Sauces are not too sweet at all and add a balance of spice and savory. BANANA PUDDING More sweet flavor than banana. Nila cookies are soft. There is a buttery flavor and cinnamon is noticed! Good texture, not runny or too thick. BIG RED SODA Tastes like a sweet cream soda. Goes well against the smoky, savory, and fatty flavors of the meats and sides. AMBIANCE Cafeteria style, open seating. Cooling is just right that it does not alter the meats. Can get loud during busier times. The line that just reached to the street during lunch took about 45 minutes to get through. Line that just reached the end of the patio too about 30 minutes to get through.

    Party of 2 on a Sunday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service and really good food. SERVICE Seated immediately in a two seater booth at the bar. Lee was our server. Very attentive, very kind, genuine, and personable. He provided us entry tickets to a local place for us to continue enjoying our visit. GARDEN FRESH MIXED GREENS with SMOKED PECAN VINAIGRETTE Fresh, crisp spring mix. The cucumbers were flavorful and juicy. Dressing was smoky, mildly sweet, and tasted like mild buttery pecans. GRILLED WINGS Mind-blowing! Large sections, very juicy, smoky, spiced very well! Great flavor from the grill. COUNTY LINE BRISKET TACOS Unfortunately this item cannot be reviewed. It did not have a good day and was taken off our table and Bill. GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING Worth a try! Has fresh bananas. The pudding tasted freshly made that day. Great flavor and the right amount of sweetness! AMBIANCE The two seater booth at the bar had high walls so it was very private. Surrounding lights were low and our personal light was lit well. The booth had us feel like we were in a cabin smokehouse.

    Our first night out, the place was fairly empty for a weeknight…read more We had walked to the restroom from the river walk, and it was hot and muggy, so much so that my cell phone had condensation on the lenses, thus the outer focus pics. Place has an old-time western field to it with cows on the wall not sure about the skeleton at the bar, it's still fun. Our server was super quick and their homemade bread with honey butter was delicious! I got the second cut brisket with a side of potato salad and greens and two others in our party went all out with the all you can eat barbecue. Really the all you can eat is just the amount of food that they bring you the first time around as they bring out a loaded platter of ribs, poultry, sausage, and brisket along with potato salad, baked beans, macaroni, salad, queso dip with chips, and I'm sure I'm missing something else. My 2nd cup brisket was very good and tender with a strong smoke flavor. Their sausage has a mild almost kielbasa taste to it, which went good with the queso dip. The standout was the barbecue ribs, which were very good, tender with a nice bite and good smoke flavor and barbecue sauce. I wasn't the biggest fan of the greens, but that was more likely due to all the other sides available. Not surprising, I really liked the queso dip and practically polished it off by myself. I would say this place is definitely worth the price.

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling.

We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different.

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert!

Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!

    Beautiful restaurant. Service is very good. Had ceviche, tuna al pastor, and the corn cakes. The…read morescallop ceviche was a bit bland but I like the crunchiness of the green apple. I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick.
