Gas is super expensive here, but it's the only gas station in town, so I don't fault them for that…read more You can buy all you would need in a convenience store except beer, since Medina is a dry town. You definitely see a lot of the old timers hanging out here at the table inside the store, and the employees are helpful and friendly. I almost knocked off a star, because the air compressor outside doesn't have a pressure gauge. The personalized service I get from the employees makes up for that.

Came in here for beer and firewood- they got it all! This…read moreplace is sort of a hodgepodge of everything you need around here. They've got all the snacks, drinks, and lotto you could ask for. Their beer selection is key when along the river, and they seem to specialize in canned beverages that you can take out on the river without getting in trouble. They also sell a whole bunch of river accessories, so t-shirts, bandanna, sunglasses, koozies, flip flops and the like. The canned goods are worth noting, since they've all been imported from across Texas and have all kinds of great flavors. If there's no wood on the porch, don't fret. They have a big ol' shipping container full of wood right out front. The clerk was nice when we went in. She had a customer keep an eye on the store while she helped us out with the firewood. The prices here were pretty high for firewood, but cheaper than buying it at the park. I don't think this place is ADA compliant with the steps to get in.

Never seen a "drive thru" store before and just wanted to check it out…read more You simply pull in a young lady came to the car and asked what we would like.. they have beer, sodas, waters etc. small selection of chips, cigarettes and snacks. It's a cool little place and the lady at the register was super sweet. My daughter got out to pay and told the lady how cool it was and she just had a cute little conversation- we love the Bandera area and will definitely come back just to support this cool spot!

This is mainly a review for their alcoholic slushies. Drive-in service was fair--the attendant…read morewasn't able to describe the flavors which was a bit strange, but regardless there is minimal alcohol in the frozen slushies. A 32oz is $14, which is definitely not worth the price considering you're just getting a normal frozen slushy. On top of that, the slushy itself was quite icy, with bigger chunks of ice and not smooth and blended well. The bahama mama flavor that I got was also quite artificially syrupy tasting. A big pass on this spot for me.

Brand new store, clean and well kept and stocked with pretty much all the Frio River necessities…read more This store has quite a variety for your river needs. As you all may know alcoholic beverages were not really available in this area but that seems to have changed. They have alcoholic beverages for sale...(beer) here at Flip Flop. There is even a liquor store located right next door. On a side note it is kind of high priced but where else you gonna have access to the adult drinks. There is an outdoor patio located on the other side of the store and a really nice swimming pool. The pool is open to the public for a small fee. All in all they seem. Have hit a Homerun with this new store.

The lady who took out orders was also the chef and it looked like she knew what she was doing. It came through in the food. The burger was really well done, pun intended. It came with heaps of mustard and mayo, ketchup was provided on the side. I wish the fires had more seasoning but they were satisfying nonetheless. The soda was kind of weak if I'm honest about it but it came with the food. Definitely a worthy burger stop.

Just the fancy restaurants and the tourist hotspots which don't really need a review where your review will get lost in a sea of 20,000 others. This place is super cute with a lot of great stuff and fun stuff and I've stopped in here on several occasions when coming to San Antonio, and I'm sure they will come back here on many occasions in the future. And they have the word five in their name so what rating did you think I was going to give them? This store is a dime.

I marvel at the fact that so many stores -- mere spitting distance from one of America's most…read morehistoric places (The Alamo) -- get no love, nor even attention, from Yelpers. Here is a general store across the street from a site with more than 2,500 photos, almost 1,000 reviews (and an inexplicably low 4-star composite rating) and has a paltry EIGHT reviews and 4 photos (which I'm going to double today). Maybe I just love general stores with the amalgam of touristy stuff, toiletries you forgot to bring, and temptations of the sweet and salty kind. They sum it up best with their motto, "Travel necessities. Hometown setting." First, yes, as you would expect, there is PLENTY of Alamo-related stuff. Neither cheap nor chintzy, there are plenty of Alamo t-shirts, cups, magnets, mugs souvenirs, and other ephemera at prices (at least based on my experience) a bit less expensive than at other establishments. An, if you want to show some Texas pride, there's plenty to buy to remind your friends where you're from and what state not to mess with. And yes, it has the feel with the old-time pharmacy catch-alls, from medicines and ointments to phone chargers and travel bags. The convenience of an airport gift shop without the high prices and drab formulaicness. Five and Dime ain't for the cynic. You'll find the kind of cowboy hats you'd find on a sorority girl at a Saturday night party. You'll find the kind of sombreros you have lying around awaiting the moment when your friend passes out drunk and you can place it on his head and Sharpie a Zapata-style mustache on his upper lip. Yes, there's plenty of humor in the Five and Dime collection! In the end, Five and Dime is a great store for both local and tourist alike. Their hometown philosophy can also be found at their other locations: On the San Antonio Riverwalk, on the Landing in Branson, in Old Town San Diego, Market Street in Charleston, Old Town in St. Augustine (FL), Cannery Row in Monterey (CA), River Street in Savannah (GA), and the Historic Plaza in Santa Fe. All great places, and all where I'll be making a stop at the Five and Dime when I do. See you there!
