    I recently went here for an event, and this place is so awesome! The owner wanted to a create a space on the west side where people could come together and build community through events, music, and action, while providing food and drinks. His vision has come to fruition. It's a colorful outside space with lots of room. I was there for an interview and afterwards, a DJ played. It's a relatively small menu of food with burgers, nachos, and quesadillas. I enjoyed my cheese quesdilla and topo chico seltzer. It's a family owned-place and the workers were all very friendly. I definitely want to be back to support this place.

    On any list that describes what you should visit in San Antonio, you'll have the venerable San Antonio Riverwalk, the Market Square, and the UNICEF recognized San Antonio Missions in the Southside. You'll also get lame recommendations like visting the alamo or the nearby Ripley's Believe It or Not, or some other cheesy venue. However, what you should visit are institutions in San Antonio's barrios, and in the Westside of San Anto we are talking about places like Roosevelt Park, Ray's Drive Inn, The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center and Jaimes Place. What sets apart Jaimes Place is it's hold on the heart of the Westside. Although the location was opened during the pandemic, Jaime Macias is following a tradition of his fathers in having a gathering place in the Westside. In essence what is a local dive bar in the middle of several tire shops and convenient stores that pepper the area, it's become a cultural institution as Jaimes Place holds movie festivals, poetry readings, art installations, car club showings, and DJ parties that keeps the spirit of San Antonio intact. It's the music gatherings that truly offer an experience to San Antonio. On any given weekend night, you might have Bombasta, a salsa cumbia brass 8 person band jamming out, a night of cruising classics spun by Crate Royalties, or a local Tejano band testing the bands sounds and you see San Anto at its finest. People dancing, cumbia lines forming, beers sloshing around, and people giving each other smiles and winks, enjoying la música típica. It's on these nights where Jaime's Place captures the spirit of El Mero Weso, where folks in work clothes enjoy a beer at the same time a vato y su hyna are dressed to the nines dance to Sunny and the Sunliners while a group celebrating a cuñadas birthday regal in that warm summer breeze... and you see what San Antonio truly is, beyond those terrible pamphlets and brochures you get at the Hyatt tempting you to visit a nearly 300 year old building. If you want to see, and most importantly feel San Antonio, make the 5 minute drive from San Antonio and get down James Brown to the sound of the Westside at Jaimes Place. Pro Tip: Say hi to Jaime as you walk in, you'll see him checking out the crowd. Tell him you read Rodrigo's review which prompted your visit. It won't get you anything free but at least he'll know I did put the review. Pro Tip: Get a bucket of beers as it's a great deal; they'll let you mix up the beers too so you can try several. Food isn't sold here so come after dinner or order it and have it delivered; plenty or tables to go around.

    Mas California in the westside.

    The drinks and service was great. Was a little disappointed that during fiesta they had a California band headlining. And today I saw a poster with the amazing shirt that says unbow your head but the hat in it is a San Diego hat. Pictures are everything and this place is becoming California based and that's just not the westside. The music and images of our community are everything and when I come here I want to feel at home. Not the California being pushed on us with the music from califas and sports teams. Let's have some pride in where we're from and the artist here. And then I saw more califas being rammed down our throats with future events. Really sad. First the Californians come buy our houses for cheap and now our spaces we thought were built for our barrio.

    Rode our bikes on a Pub Ride on Sunday, 2/20 and stopped here for Aqua Sol Sunday with DJ Despienada who was spinning some great tunes from Tejano, Rock and Funk that was nice on this wonderful winter day. The place had a good local crowd as we all enjoyed food, drinks and music. Service was super sweet and they had a couple crafts on tap (sorry Yuengling isn't craft...lol). Was going to the port-a-potty outside and a gentleman told me there were restrooms inside and I should look around. So glad I went inside to see this old house transformed into a nice area with sitting areas and stairs leading upstairs. This is a great place to enjoy the city feel with beer and food.

    In the heart of the west side is Jaime's Place. Pretty chill west side dive bar with the soul of San Antonio. There's good live music, great drinks and good vibes. I highly recommend their Blue Hawaiian, boozy but not overwhelming. I have yet to try the food so that's for the next visit.

    This place is neat. It's on the west side of town. Deep west side of town. And let me just say this. It's about time someone brings a touch of class to the west side. I mean, charcuterie boards in the west side?? Hell yeah! Let's show them the raza has some class! It's a Large place. VERY well put together and very clean. They seem to have a dj many nights. The only reason I have given them only 4 stars is because they're beer and wine only..... since I can't really drink beer anymore it really puts a damper on the things I can get here. If they will consider carrying some sorts of liquor at some point I know that we would come here MUCH more often especially since they are RIGHT down the street from the house.

    I love coming to Jaime's place. The food is good, drinks are cold and the music is immaculate. Jaime's Place is the heart of the west side, championing traditional Latino culture which has built the area and sharing it with other members of the community. It's a good place to come back to your roots and always feel at home. The wings and burgers are really good and always cooked to perfection. The outdoor patio is my favorite place to sit but there is indoor availability as well. Inside you will see San Antonio history , specifically as it pertains to the Macias family mixed in with some awesome artwork. The staff is also very nice and friendly. You always feel at home at Jaime's Place.

    Jaime's Place!

    Jaime's Place is the perfect place to go to listen to some good old Chicano Soul and Tejano music! It was a bit cold but they had affordable beer buckets and food specials! The kitchen closes at 10, but they had a little market in the inside of the area. It's an all outdoor venue but it's a great place to have family and fun. Great music to dance to!

    Jaime's Place is a great local bar and hangout spot for everyone. Children are welcome and you're always guaranteed a great time, a cold drink, and some great music! I enjoy visiting Jaime's place at least once a week and make sure to order the wings or the nachos every visit. I recommend Jaime's Place, which is located on a property owned by the family for many generations. They really do take pride in their work and hospitality.

    Is Jamie's place dog friendly?

    I would think so in the outside area, though I don't recall seeing any dogs the last time I was there.

Great food, great customer service and just an overall great experience. Food: the wings are literally fried to perfection. I love my wings crispy or extra crispy so this is my type of establishment. The wings are full of flavor. Every single bite was simply amazing. Also, the wings are huge. I was full by the sixth or seventh wing. I normally always finish my 10 wing combo but they gave so much fries and the wings like I said we're really big so I was fooled by number six or seven. The Kool-Aid was amazing. The customer service here is top-notch. Everyone here is super friendly. I can't remember the ladies name, but she was a white lady and she was so nice and friendly and pretty funny as well. She took my order and it came out quickly. Best customer service I really wish I remembered her name because she did such an outstanding job. Again, this is an easy five star review if you're in the area stop on in and support a local business and try some amazing wings! Memphis, Tennessee, Project Pat and Young Dolph would be proud and the whole Three 6 Mafia! Memphis tennnnnnnn

    Ahhh yes, the Anchor Bar. The self proclaimed home of the Buffalo wing…read more That is a bold statement. Would it hold up in court? Yes. The court rests. Came in with a couple of coworkers and my best mate, Tommy Tough Knuckles. If you are going to put a place like this on trial, you bring witnesses. The beer: Bud Light on tap was phenomenal. Cold, clean, exactly what you want when wings are involved. Most of the table went with micheladas, which felt like the right move at the time and honestly looked fantastic. If you are in a wings bar that knows what it is doing, you trust the michelada crowd. The appetizer: First timers get treated right here. Our server brought out the pizza roll appetizer on the house, which is essentially an egg roll stuffed with pizza goodness. Crunchy shell, molten cheese center, zero notes. A dangerous starter in the best way possible. Ten out of ten. The wings: Twenty traditional wings. Fifteen Buffalo hot, five lemon pepper. Let's be honest. When Buffalo hot comes out in Buffalo, expectations are sky high. I would not have minded a touch more heat, but the flavor absolutely carried the day. These were balanced, buttery, and deeply satisfying wings that remind you why this style became the standard. The lemon pepper deserves special praise. Too many places drown these wings in seasoning until it feels like a science experiment. Not here. Clean, even coverage, bright without overpowering the chicken. Simple, confident, executed properly. Overall wing verdict. Ten out of ten. This place knows exactly who it is. No gimmicks, no reinvention, just history backed up by execution. You come here for wings, beer, and the feeling that you are sitting inside something that actually matters. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I argue with anyone who calls this the home of the Buffalo wing? Not a chance.

They are crunchy and the sauce adheres so well without making them soggy. The green beans, red beans, and wedges are great options for sides to accompany the fish and wings.

And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait.

We got the original fried chicken, which is basically a chicken cut up into pieces so you get a little bit of everything of a whole chicken. This recipe is still crispy, we got the honey soy sauce on the side, and that sauce is amazing! We ended up ordering more. We also got the crispy wings, those are double fried and definitely have lots of crisp! Every piece was hot and fresh, very juicy and a perfect seasoning. We also ordered some fries that had a powdered cheese on them and the guy did let us know it was a sweet cheese, but I was definitely not expecting that much sweet. Honestly they were not my favorite, it's very strange to have a sweet powdered cheese on french fries. I was not a fan, but my husband liked them. And lastly, is the slaw and the pickled radish that they bring out, I liked those very much and they gave a perfect balance and touch of acid against the wings and the richness of the sauce. The location isn't something you immediately see off the road, it's right in the corner of a strip mall off of De Zavala. Definitely worth the trip, these wings and this chicken were 10 out of 10!
