As someone who manages people and production for a living, I rarely leave negative reviews unless…read morethere is a clear breakdown in leadership. Unfortunately, that was exactly the case during our visit to this Whataburger. We placed our order through the Whataburger app at 12:17 a.m. after spending the evening enjoying downtown San Antonio. Despite ordering ahead, we did not receive our food until 1:16 a.m.--nearly an hour later. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching numerous customers who ordered in person after we arrived receive their meals 30 minutes or more before ours. There appeared to be no organized system for handling mobile orders. I want to be clear that this review is not directed at the employees working the counter and kitchen. They remained professional, kept their composure, and worked as quickly as they could under what was obviously a very difficult situation. They deserve credit for maintaining a positive attitude despite being overwhelmed. The responsibility rests with management. This was Friday night in downtown San Antonio, and there was a major concert at the Alamodome. None of this should have been a surprise. A competent management team anticipates predictable surges in business by scheduling appropriately, preparing inventory, and ensuring operational systems can handle increased demand. Instead, it appeared the restaurant was understaffed and unprepared, leaving employees to absorb the frustration of customers. That's not fair to the staff, and it's certainly not acceptable for paying customers. What happened wasn't simply a busy night--it was a failure in planning and leadership. When management prioritizes minimizing labor costs over being adequately prepared for predictable demand, the customer experience inevitably suffers. I hope the ownership reviews what occurred this night. The employees deserve better support, and customers deserve the level of service they expect from one of Texas' most recognizable brands.

Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more THE LOCATION: Downtown and I believe near the King William community.

We went on a Sunday afternoon and got a seat fast and was out of there in under an hour. THE MENU: crispy fried chicken. And spicy. Probably not ideal to bring your littles unless they can handle the heat . The hubby selected a chicken tenders meal and I went with a two piece fried chicken meal. I don't like drumsticks, but I'll deal with a drummette. I know, I know. I asked for a thigh and wing and selected bbq beans and Mac n' cheese as my sides. The beans were sweet and tangy and the Mac n cheese was ok. I really enjoyed the crispness of the chicken. Just wish they had a mild version of the chicken, as well. THE SERVICE: I am very impressed at how attentive and friendly the service is here. They don't hover over you but are efficient at the same time. I recommend this place if you're in the area or have a hankering for crispy, spicy chicken! DON'T FORGET! Bring your parking ticket with you

For dessert we completely devoured the most delicious Tres Leches cake, topped with Strawberry and mint, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was such an amazing experience!

The thing that stood out to me the most is the filling they put in it, as well as the apple bites. But the only thing that I don't really like about it is that most of the time I go ask for it, they'll say that there's no more. Which makes me really sad and also they sometimes don't even put as much filling or apple bites in the pie. Unlike other restaurants, they don't make it the way I like it, but overall I really enjoy the pie. I recommend it from all locations except for Potranco Mcdonald's. They're always busy so most likely they won't have it.

Filling food, quick service, what more could you want at Chipotle?…read more I've been to this location twice and both times were solid visits. It's a smaller restaurant that was neither the cleanest nor dirtiest on both occasions, and though the employees weren't exactly full of smiles, they were by no means rude. If nothing else, they're quick on the food line and helpful if you have questions. The food is always fresh and hot, and they never skimp on the serving size. This last time I ordered a Chicken Burrito Bowl with White Rice, Black Beans, Queso, Sour Cream, and Cheese. They prepared my order with enough of each ingredient so that I didn't feel like I was lacking for any one particular thing. The Chicken wasn't too fatty but was still pretty moist, the Rice was soft and fluffy, and the Beans weren't over or undercooked. The Sour Cream, Queso, and shredded Cheese made for excellent creamy toppings. The Burrito Bowl as a whole made for an excellent and satisfying hearty meal that was absolutely packed with protein. If you need a quick bite downtown, stop by this Chipotle!

Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. This isn't your typical restaurant experience--the menu is creative, unique, and offers something different. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the preparation and presentation of every plate. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. My waitress, Kreizon, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made me feel welcome throughout my visit. Great service can make a good meal even better, and she definitely elevated the entire experience. The outdoor dining area is also beautiful and creates a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal and taking in the surroundings. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, incredible ambiance, unique architecture, and top-notch customer service, Domingo is a must-visit. This is more than just dinner--it's an experience. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in San Antonio.
