Great fast service & food!! A MUST GO place when by SA Alamo/Riverwalk. It's like taking a step…read moreback in time! Oldest restaurant in SA- established as a Saloon in 1917 and turned delicatessen in prohibition. Staff were extremely friendly, encouraged me to walk around, and showed pride when telling me the history of the building & restaurant. Showed me the old bank vault. 5 star service!! Multiple seating options. Large separate room for dining or parties. Cool old bar & cash register. I got there when they first opened. No wait. Then what appeared to be regulars started slowly rolling in. I enjoyed their famous cane sugar root beer in an ice cold mug ($4.50 and comes with one refill) Potato Pancakes - comes with delicious large bowl of applesauce Side of brautworst - felt like the german thing to do. Not my typical breakfast. Should have asked for a tad of their mustard. Open 8a-230p

I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, especially being German myself and always looking forward…read moreto authentic German cuisine. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I ordered the veal Schnitzel with mushroom gravy (Jägerschnitzel) and red cabbage. The gravy had a strange gelatin-like consistency and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect from a proper Jäger sauce. The veal was extremely chewy and honestly made me feel ill afterward. The red cabbage was also very undercooked and completely lacked flavor. Overall, I personally did not find the food authentic or representative of true German cooking. What truly saved this experience was the outstanding customer service. Our server, Joseph, was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the meal. I also greatly appreciated Mr. Adam, the kitchen manager, who personally came out to discuss my concerns. He handled the constructive criticism with professionalism and openness, and I truly respected the fact that he listened carefully and considered my feedback regarding the sauce. Although I wouldn't personally return for the food, Joseph and Mr. Adam turned what could have been a terrible experience into one where I still felt valued as a customer. Their professionalism absolutely deserves recognition.

This is the place for Philly Cheesesteak! Gino's deli is also good, but this is equally wonderful…read more Those are the only 2 places you should consider if you're a cheesesteak snob like me. This cannot be beat. Get the American cheddar (and extra if you love cheese). Get extra red sauce (jalapeno salsa or something). I like my cheesesteak with mushrooms and jalapeños. This is definitely big enough to share unless you have a beast for a husband. Get 2 and put 1/2 in fridge for tomorrow. It gets a tad soggy, but it's almost even better the next day. The bread here is amazing. The staff is super rad. The location and vibe is spot on. Do not miss this secret spot.

Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

I passed this on the way to my assignment location and began researching this spot. Some google…read morereviews mentioned they are F1 fans and Ferrari people. So I knew I had to check them out. I was able to make my way here on my last day in San Antonio in late March thanks to my flight being delayed and my oh my, I am quite impressed! The older gentleman taking my order at the counter gave me a big smile when I mentioned I heard you have this thing called the serious sandwich here. He told me that they do and then stated "You won't regret ordering it, seriously." Chuckling, I decided on a half order of that along with a side of potato salad and their side of beans. After taking my first bite, I realized the gentleman was right. This is a dope sandwich! Excellent cured meats in the salamar and pair of hams along with the provolone and melted cheddar with the veggies, spices, italian dressing, and mustard. The bread they use holds up well and has a slight crunch to it. If you prefer your bread to have softness to it, you may have to ask if they can substitute a different bread instead of the italian flat bread they use. But I absolutely love this sandwich the way it is! As for the sides, the potato salad has a slight mustard taste and right consistency with a dash of paprika on top; just the way I like it. The beans are charro beans (I think) that are served steaming hot with some pork trimmings mixed in; I may have dipped my sandwich in it a couple times for flavor explosion. What can I say, I'm adventurous! There's some ferrari memorabilia and posters on the right side where some of the high top seating is. As a Ferrari F1 fan, I appreciate them displaying this here along with the track map of the COTA circuit in Austin. The seating area is spread out nicely with plenty of seats/tables and a drink station with some random signs up. All of interest to consumers like us. Definitely recommend coming here for either the serious sandwich or other delicious ones like their meatball sandwich or manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try the other ones but I may just stick with the serious sandwich cause I loved it. SERIOUSLY!

Have been, twice, taking the food to go. We were at the nearby vet so picked up sandwiches. They…read morehave lots of options for sides. The second time, I saw the reviews with 'skimpy meat' so ordered extra meat. They have chips, garden salad, mac salad, potato salad, etc. We were pleased. They put "dressing" (oil & vinegar m) on the sandwiches, which made them hard to eat, even in the car, so waited until we got home. Service was friendly. Did not eat in but used restroom.

But holy cow the Cinnamon roll is huge and amazing. It's exactly the taste I want out of every cinnamon roll except so many end up sort of tasteless...this one was the bomb!

These sandwiches are delicious, fresh, full of flavor, and the services it top notch!…read more First it's a small venue with a free table and a little dark inside. Next time I need to take a picture of the menu because it's not really the same as the one online. I believe the online menu is where you will find the vegan/vegetarian options. It's entirely possible that I'm my panic to order, I missed it, but I don't think I did. Anyway, I went up to the counter to order the Ceza. It was either, cheese, hummus, arugula, sprouts, ranch, onions, relish. Lots of goodies. I asked for it without turkey and ranch. The gal that took my order (the manager) asked if I wanted to sub another protein. I said more hummus was fine and she suggested the chickpea salad. Oh yeah! I love chickpea everything (hence double hummus) so YES PLEASE! This was a great sub. It went so well with the arugula, sprouts, and relish. The mild chickpea flavor and the tangy relish were *chef's kiss*. Also the bread is fantastic. Slight crunchiness on the outside and pillowy softness on the inside. I cannot let another year go by before coming back. 10/10!

My favorites are the Power Plant and Apollo 13. There is hardly ever a long line and service is quick. You place your order with the cashier then get a table "number" card but instead it's a band. Pretty cool concept. Someone will then bring your order to you once ready. I've never tried the drinks from the bar but I am curious. Their theme is a very specific counter-culture (you'll be able to tell from the art in the restaurant)

Went on a rainy Sunday afternoon…read more I tried the chipotle chicken and my boyfriend had the Reuben. He said it was the best he's tried in San Antonio. My sandwich was okay, the chipotle was not spicy at all, so in all, the sandwich was a bit bland. Last time, I ordered the Kickin' Turkey, which I think is still my personal favorite. The camerlized onions stood out to me, and in all the flavors were exceptional. And I'm not even an onion person! Ambiance was nice and the service was great! Cookies were also delicious. We will come again, just maybe a different sandwich or I'll order the Kickin' Turkey like last time. Check them out!

This place has been on my bucket list for a while and unfortunately it was very disappointing…read more Service- While ordering, the clerk at the register made me feel a bit rushed when ordering. While I understand there's a rush during lunch, a bit more patience would be appreciated. Due to her rushing she took my order wrong. I ordered the "Philly Italian" but was run up for the "Italian". Totally different sandwich. When I finally received my sandwich and discovered it to be incorrect I asked for a remake. Told me it would take 20-25 minutes. Not acceptable. Asked for the manager. Same thing. Asked for a refund received it and left. I would have like for someone to at least make my sandwich a priority as I had to wait and it was their mistake, but hey, is what it is. - Food- I also had the Broccoli and Cheese soup while I waited. I've had better at other places. It was very watery and not much broccoli. 2/5. I do like the ambience though, feels like an old school shop on the east coast. I didn't feel truly "welcomed" though". I won't be back, but I think others may have a different experience. Just make sure you speak up when ordering.
