    T T-Bone - 12 oz.
    Monica S.

    Saddest thing ever to see an iconic SA steak house go by the wayside and their signature handcut steaks are now less than 1/4 inch. My husband & I are older (Boomers) and live on the NE side, but this was our go to place for a decent cut T-Bone or Ribeye since our childhood. Often on our family's special occasions we would drive to S Hackberry for what used to be some of the best pan fried T-Bones & Ribeyes. Last time we went, we thought it was just an off day. For this Father's Day, we went and imagine our surprise to now see the steaks so thin that even a medium rare looks well done! Once I got home, it measured to 1/4". So sad!!!

    Service, really good. Lots of cool decor and fun seeing all of the different ranches. Now the food... avoid the chicken fried steak. Super chewey, and no flavor. The chop't steak was pretty good. I really wished my food was better because I wanted to like this place. The sides were just "ok" in my opinion as well.

    Gigantic menu

    When you walk in you are given a salad as soon as you are seated. They offer a choice of several salad dressings that are homemade daily. The Green Goddess is incredibly delicious and garlicky. It's been on the menu since they opened in 1963. Then they present a huge menu poster at each table. The menu is very simple. All entries come with salad, homemade rolls, choice of potato and drink. The ribeye was fork tender and cooked perfectly. The chicken fried steak was crispy and came with a choice of 3 different gravies. The restaurant had some kind of historical marker. I can see how it has survived since 1963

    Sorry for my late posting ~ This is from Xmas & I've been busy with stuff... This was My 1st Time here & I have driven past several times, but never knew what to expect here. I had a great time in this Old Rustic Cowboy Hall setting for dining....with Me being a CitySlicker,I didn't know what to expect? Super Friendly staff members & easy to understand Menu plus yummy food options. Of course I had to try a Steak with Loaded Potato. I sure wasn't disappointed by this place. Lotsa Folk's here eating & celebrating, Holiday Style with a Cowboy/Cowgirl twist. Very tasty well cooked Steak ~ plus a yummy baked potato I ate this whole thing up & I was very satisfied with everything. My waitress was busy tending multiple tables,but she made sure to handle Me by My Lonesome* Very nice family get together spot with plenty of room to accommodate any size party & more. Lotsa parking outside & conveniently located. I'll definitely be going back to have another round & maybe do something different. Thank's for a Great Xmas Experience & making Me Welcome

    Fat and gristle from a 12oz tbone

    Service was great. The steak , not so awesome. What I was able to eat was good. Ordered 12oz t-bone. If you remove the bone and All the fat and gristle, not much meat left to eat. Do they weigh the fat and gristle and charge me for it? Huge disappointment, went there to celebrate. More than likely won't go back. (See picture) That wasn't all the fat, left some on the plate and accidentally ate some cause I couldn't spit it out in public. No paper towels available.

    Fantastic experience. My first time and won't be my last. Great family spot. Awesome service. If the parking lot looks packed they still got room. The place is huge. Steaks were great. Everything was great. Definitely go check them out

    Right when I walked in I was seated and they have moving standing tall menus which are proudly displayed. I got the chicken fried steak and my boyfriend got chopped steak, the rolls are 3 for a dollar and they are so soft and warm. The customer service was amazing and they offer to take your tables photo while you wait for your food. One of my go to places in San Antonio!

    Giant table side menus to order from.

    This is a SATX staple. "Little Red Barn" is a vast understatement in the best way. This giant building has multiple lofty rooms with the branding symbols of all the different ranches the restaurant has sourced from. You're seated at wooden banquet-style tables in the dining rooms. Staff are dressed in these cowgirl outfits that Dolly Parton would be jealous of, but don't be fooled: their service is fast, precise, and down to a science. Go-to favorite is the steak and shrimp combo plate with green beans. DON'T sleep on the salad that comes with the meal; fresh and crispy, it's the perfect appie before your meal. The salad dressings are also delicious - can't go wrong with the ranch or green goddess. Meals also come with warm rolls. Free parking in their lot. Grab some merch at the hostess stand if you wanna rep. Doesn't matter if you're by yourself for lunch at the bar or there for a giant get together, LRB will take care of you!

    Really wasn't sure what to expect going to the oldest steakhouse in San Antonio, I was not disappointed! Love seeing your family run restaurant with such a warm and comforting, feeling as you walk in the door. Stamps of all the ranches they get their beef from surrounding the walls. My server was phenomenal! Walked me through the menu, explaining it was my first time here. Definitely as old-school steakhouse as you're gonna get. Salad upon sitting down at the table I had the extremely old-school green goddess dressing that was phenomenal again recommended by my server. The steak though could've been seasoned a bit more was cooked perfectly and a vegetables rounded out a great meal. Will definitely be returning!

    West Creek Whipped Spread
    William B.

    The meal was very good. The salad and green goddess salad dressing tasted like it was homemade and came in a large pitcher for using as much or as little as preferred. The rolls were a delight and the individually portioned West Creek spread kicked it up a notch. The sirloin and green beans were excellent. The dessert (see photo) was just ok/meh. Service was great. There were only a handful of dinners in the large eating area which is Texas Ranch themed. The parking lot was also large and had security. Parking is free! Prices were a little high, but food and service made the price justified. Getting to this Southside restaurant was a challenge due to it's location.

    Chopped steak, undercooked
    Jason B.

    I've been coming here since I was a kid and tonight's experience was horrible. The food was awful. My wife ordered the chicken fried chicken and it tasted like fish. The breading was awful and the chicken was bland and overcooked. I had the chopped steak with gravy that looked like it was scraped off the back of the fryer. It was also undercooked. I asked for medium well and got medium rare. Disgusting. Our waitress was absolutely horrible. Sat behind a partition most of the time and rarely came by to check on us. We were a larger party so they of course charge 20% which explains the crappy service. If I could give this negative stars, I would. This used to be a good place but it's really gone downhill these last few years. Skip it! Too many other places that are way better at a more reasonable price.

    More fries than shrimp.
    Amber R.

    Every time I have come here the prices have risen. Quality is absolutely mid. So over priced. Tiniest EIGHT PIECE shrimp platter for $21 :---) insane.. my siblings baked potato was as hard as a rock

    Love this place!
    Amanda A.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been here probably 4-5xs. We come when we rodeo or stock show here. It's always great service and such a cute atmosphere!! Great menu and fresh food. Love the rolls!

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.
