I got the Camp Burger and Street Corn. The food presentation is good. Portions were generous relative to cost. The burger itself was a bit on the dry side, and the bread overpowered what could've been some solid flavor. The corn was cooked great, but a bit heavy on the acid, so the other flavors you expect from quality street corn were a bit lost. Simple tweaks, and this could be a standout comfort-food spot. Taste and Flavor: 3 Presentation: 4 Creativity: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Overall: 3.4/5 Won't return when in town, but it was not an unpleasant experience. The place is relaxing, and I'd like to rate it higher, but overall, the food itself left a little to be desired.

Even on a weekday, they had a steady flow of customers. I tried the biscuits and gravy, which came highly recommended. You can add a protein, but note the chicken is an extra $8. I usually don't go for biscuits and gravy, but I'm glad I did. The gravy is hearty, creamy, and lightly bacon‑flavored, coating a toasted, buttery, soft biscuit. The fried chicken was perfectly breaded, and the thick cut meant the chicken itself stood out more than the breading--exactly how I like it. A friend ordered the Patty Melt: juicy patties, melted cheese, and onions on Texas toast. Simple, classic, and well done. Overall, worth a visit--just plan enough time to sit, order, and wait for freshly made dishes.

I say this because it lets you know that there are two entrances and you'll be graded regardless , but you will be indicated where to sit if you go to the hostess front desk by the firewood first Customer service was outstanding and earned this place. It's fifth star. I was made to feel welcome and when the sun in the San Antonio skies was shining right in my face through a window because of the time of the afternoon, I knew I would have no luck studying, so I was moved without hesitation. I know that switching tables might be a little bar but believe me when I'm telling you that simply doing a job versus doing it with a smile, makes the world of a difference to me. The food was fantastic by the way , I'd be remiss if I didn't gush about the meatballs and the pizza. I have never tried spicy honey chicken before and I'm glad that I chose this spot to do it for the first time. Everything is literally made to order right then, and there and the absolute freshness of the ingredients shows from the first bite to the very last. There seemed to be other people studying there too as well as what looked like groups of 2 to 8 occupying various tables so this establishment lends itself to family or party friendly dinner reservations.

They were able to seat us on the patio as a walk in on a Saturday night, checked in to offer us a spot by the fireplace when it opened up, kept our water filled throughout the night, and even asked how we wanted our food served. Little touches like that really make a difference. They also brought out complimentary ciabatta bread when we were first seated and then without us asking, brought a fresh batch after our appetizer. The second round was better, with a nice crispy edge that made that satisfying crunch when you squeezed it. Really good with the butter, though if the butter had been just a little saltier it would have been perfect. Beef Carpaccio ($32): Good but average. The individual components were all there but the dish felt like it was missing cohesion. The black sesame parmesan tuiles were a standout though. Georges Bank Seared Sea Scallop ($49): Three huge scallops cooked phenomenally. The mushroom risotto was a bit al dente and on the saltier side, and the mushroom flavor didn't come through as much as I would have liked. The squid ink beurre blanc was lovely though and really brought the dish together. Despite the risotto I would still order this again just for those scallops. Duck and Foie Gras ($46): The duck was cooked beautifully and the foie gras wasn't too heavy, just the right amount. I loved the strawberry arugula salad that came with it. The pairing worked really well overall. I personally didn't think butternut squash was the right puree choice but my husband disagreed and absolutely loved this dish. Foucher Sancerre Rosé ($15 glass): I am usually not a fan of rosé because of how dry they tend to be, but this one was not bad. It tasted much better when paired with food. August Riesling ($12 glass): A yummy, sweet drink that is refreshing and easy to drink. I had to pace myself or I would have finished it before the main courses even came out.

I finally got to try Bliss, thanks to Restaurant Week!…read more We were immediately seated when we got to the restaurant. The waiter greeted us and gave us the option to order from their regular menu or the menu made specifically for Restaurant Week. We went with the edited menu and had an assortment of starters with the tostadas and the wedge salad being the top picks. Our main entrees consisted of the shrimp and grits which was amazingly delicious! The meatballs on the risotto were equally as good. For the desserts, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed my mix berries on the butter cake. Really delicious. Service was great. There was a bit of a long gap in between our starters and the entrees but they made it up with their overall friendly service. PSA for those with hearing challenges, the noise level is quite loud in the restaurant. I will say that I'd like to go back and try their other dishes.

I used to go very often. They're a little on the pricier side but so worth it. It's beautiful inside and outside. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I won't wait so long again to go back. My go to meal the is Howard. Scrambled eggs with crab topped with a lobster tail. So so good. Even the little bread/muffin basket they serve you before the meal is great. Lemonade is delicious. My son had pancakes and bacon and inhaled them. His mother always gets the pot roast. She wasn't disappointed. I will say although the gumbo is decent, it's not the best I've had. The roux is very dark which gives it a slight burned taste. But the flavors are there. All in all love Cappy's. I won't make the mistake of staying away so long again.

Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were seated. Our waiter was incredibly short and came across as rude throughout the meal. When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.

It's medium-sized steak. The crust doesn't adhere to the meat very well. However, it was more tender than I thought it'd be. It comes with masked potatoes, grilled veggies and Texas toast. The grilled veggies this go around were onions, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, red and green bell peppers and a couple of jalapeño slices. I remarked to the server that they should lose the bell peppers and beef up the broccoli and zucchini. He says it kind of depends on who is cooking as to what veggies you get. Hmmmm. Overall, it was pretty good. Give it a try.

Took my family there today around three o clock and as you walk up to the door there are drug addicts standing outside with dogs blocking the door begging . As we were being seated I went to use the men's room and there were people sitting in the stalls with back packs and there was a bum taking a bath in the sink. Nobody seems to be in charge of the staff because there are waiters walking outside the restaurant and back in with plates of food and serving them to customers. Being someone who grew up coming here in the 90s it is definitely sad to see the state this place is in and the people they allow hang around there. Nobody wants to pay 15 dollars for a chicken fried steak that is gonna give them hepatitis. We will never go back there. It is filthy and smells like I should be shooting pool there rather than eating. Took my family to longhorn cafe and the food was way better and the chicken fried steak there is only 10 dollars. Get your shit together bud Jones! Highly disappointed. read more

I called in a order at 5:45 p.m. and was told the wait would be approximately 45-50 minutes, which was completely fine. I arrived at 6:22 p.m., only to realize the order apparently was not entered or started until I got there. I then waited another 25 minutes inside, and it seemed like my order only moved forward after I asked about it. They appeared severely understaffed, with one cashier, one person packing orders, and one employee assisting the cook. I understand being busy, but why take phone orders and provide a pickup time if the food will not be started until the customer arrives? From the time I called, the total wait was over an hour.
