Got the salad and pizza combo but so apparently did everyone else and with one person making the pizzas it was at least 35 minutes until we received ours and a good 20 minutes after we finished our salad - thankfully we had some time to spare! Salad was good - pizza good but for being prepared on the spot was okay - dough was a let down and it does not collapsed with Wild Barely or Pinthouse - good but not great!

Went there on Sunday to watch a soccer game, we were told they will shut down at half time, and keep moving up kitchen closing time, we felt rushed, not welcome. Used to love this place and would go there a lot five years ago. I stoped going because of the same issue, the attitude, gave them another chance, but this will be the last.

Ah-mazing!!!! Would you believe I watched an episode of "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives" San Antonio,…read moreand this was one places featured?!!! I immediately book marked it as a place I wanted to hit! The front street view of the place wasn't eye catching, but once inside, it was lively and busy. Super casual, order at the counter. We received a very friendly greeting and the gentleman happily introduced us to their menu. Love how everything is made in house scratch. They make their own sourdough breads, brews, and brisket. We made it just in time before brunch ended ( ends at 1400). We ordered: Brunch Pastrami and egg on sourdough potato roll sando. Delicious!!!!! The roll was so soft , the house made pastrami was tasty and not overly salty, paired with 2 fried eggs, and ooey gooey melted Swiss. Yumm!!! Little pricey as it didn't come with anything else. But, it definitely was amazing! Shared a large Native Texan pizza. Woweee! One of the best pizzas we ever had. It had house made pastrami brisket, house pickled jalapeños, red onions, and various cheeses. It was topped and swirled with a tallow Bbq sauce, which gave it a slight smoky flavor. The jalapeños gave a nice after bite kick. The sourdough crust was perfectly thin, with a slight sweet aftertaste. We took home some leftover pizza slices and they were still as delicious the first day. Hubby is still raving about the pizza today lol Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We didn't try any of their home brews as it was too early in the day for us, but for sure next time. Can't wait to revisit and try some more things on the menu. Military discount is offered.

I got a coffee and then took a seat. As I was enjoying my coffee, I noticed that a large line had formed. The staff there worked quickly and it seemed like the line moved fast. After I finished my coffee, I went back up and ordered a beer. I decided to get the Peyton Manning's Forehead then went and had a seat outside. The Peyton Manning's Forehead was good. You could taste Peyton Manning's Forehead with each sip. I recommend this place for great coffee/beer and fast service

As soon as we walked into Dos Sirenos, the staff were very friendly and greeted us right away, letting us know to grab a seat wherever we liked and that someone would be with us shortly. Even though the place was pretty busy both inside and outside, it didn't take long for someone to come over and take our food and drink order. The drinks came out quickly, and the food wasn't far behind. Everything we ordered was delicious--honestly my only complaint was that my plate was empty by the end! The drinks were cold, refreshing, and really good. Overall, we had a great time at Dos Sirenos. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly, and the food and drinks hit the spot. We would definitely come back.

It used to be an old neighborhood bar called Tabasco Beach in the 2000s/2010s and changed its name to The Beach then shut down a few years later. When I went in there's not a crowd and no hostess and had a sign on the blackboard telling patrons to seat themselves. Minutes later a tattooed and friendly waitress wearing a Selena shirt arrived to my table and took my order for a lemonade and the tiramisu french toast with a side of bacon. Everything was good. The french toast had thick slices like Texas toast . I'll return another time for supper.

It is next to the Make Ready food hall and makes for a perfect 1 - 2 punch of activity. We arrived right at the tail end of Happy hour, so I order an Old Fashioned and found a spot at their outdoor patio. The patio is pet friendly and they do have live music. My drink was made well and made for a nice evening as the weather outside was nice and the live one-man band added some nice ambience. I can see why downtown residents would like to hang out in this area. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this laid-back icehouse and look forward to coming back to experience more.

Lots of food choices. Our group generally orders a bunch of shareables. I highly recommend their different pizzas, the scrumptious nachos, the amazing goat cheese and artichoke dip, and the big pretzel. Others have ordered a great fresh salad or philly steak sandwich, both of which were great. Freetail even offers a couple yummy soup options. Thursday night is Trivia night and it can be lots of fun.

There was a musician singing and playing guitar, and he was really good, which made the atmosphere even better. The drinks were great and the food was even better. We ordered wings and a pizza and really enjoyed both. It also felt very family-friendly. There's a small play area just off the outside deck, and several kids were down there playing, which was nice to see. The highchairs can be a little hard to spot, but they do have them inside near the restrooms. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be coming back!

I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday).

It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good

Parking was adequate (no other cars in the lot) - don't know about the requirement for "signing in" since the parking lot is some how managed by cameras/computers. I just parked and we walked in. I hate those systems. The young woman behind the bar was friendly and paid attention to what we said - a pleasant experience. The order was placed at the bar and not at the table. We placed the order and it promptly arrived. The prices were certainly reasonable. The service to the table was great. The interior is rather sterile - but has various accoutrements to some what offset that - certainly not like a pub warm feeling. The beer I order was maybe a C+. It seemed a bit flat, but had a good taste. The hamburger, Grand Tour Hamburger, at $16.50 was really enjoyable. I requested it not be "smashed" ( I don't like smash burgers) and to be cooked rare - but it came out medium well. Nevertheless the flavors of the meat and toppings were quite satisfying. I think I return and find a beer that I may really like. Then that may elevate Breakaway to a 5 star - it is almost there now.

Man, what an awesome spot!…read more Not sure if I loved the vibe, the decor, the couches, the space or the beers better. Basically a bicycle theme microbrewery that has a fantastic lay out and such inviting space with comfy couches and other seating. The vibes are all Breaking Away (some of a certain age will remember this 70s movie). Had a flight + 2 full pours. All their beers are solid and it was hard to find which full pours I was going to have. Their Marzen was definitely the winner both times. If you can, try it before it runs out as it's only being offered for Oktoberfest. The bar keep was super cool, attentive and definitely added to the vibe.
