Food was great!! Greeter was really professional! Cashier not so much! I was here 2 years ago! Way too much food for one person! So shared with my pup & 8 cat & kittens! Had not fed these guys leftovers before. It took two servings for them to finish but if they could they would call YELP! read more

The food was fine, I know this place has a following but I'm not sure why. It must be the cold beer and friendly atmosphere. It's a very home cooking experience. The restaurant is open space style and overall it's good for families.service was great! read more

So I was visiting my brother and he wanted to fo have dinner. I told him I didn't care where and he said MK Davis is a good spot. I said i wanted a chicken fried steak and she said they have one there. Let's go! As soon as we drove up I saw there was a waiting line. Figured dang must be real good if people are waiting! I'm gonna be in for a rude awaking. Got on wait list and about 15min later we got seated. I saw the chips and salsa appetizer and I saw the chicken fried steak for $15 and change. I ordered the chips and salsa and the chicken fried steak. Chips and salsa came out quick and the salsa was pretty good and the chips looked homemade. I was like OK starting off good. Thats where it ended. The chicken fried steak came out and im more than sure it was a frozen chicken fried steak that was put in the fryer maybe! Very disappointing it was actually pretty big but no flavor and extremely mid! Fries and salad that came with it were decent nothing special. But at least the salad was cold. Place is pretty nice very rustic feel to it. As far as the food extremely mid and under performed. Maybe it was just the chicken fried steak but it wasnt worth $15. At least I got a coke zero! I'd come back to try something else though saw someone eating enchiladas and they looked pretty good. Chickem fried steak extremely disappointing. Chicken fried steak 2 outa 10 Chips and salsa 5 out 10 50/50 chance of coming back. This is a locals restaurant they probably grew up on this and like it. read more

This is an iconic San Antonio restaurant. They are best known for their chicken fried steak and/or their Mexican plates and enchiladas!! The food is alway good and the service is awesome...same employees for ages!! Coldest beer in San Antonio!! This place never disappoints!! read more

We've been here several times, mainly because it's my husband's siblings favorite place. We always get the seafood platters and I'll be honest, it's the best in San Antonio. While you can't go wrong with a large beer, the appetizers are pretty good and arrive to the table quick. Clean establishments with upbeat service and vibes, being it's an older restaurant. Keep up the good service and food! read more

Had not been to MK Davis for quite a while but decided to have small family belated Father's Day lunch get together last Sunday. They open at 11am & we arrived ~15min til, several customers already there waiting also. We were not disappointed. Food was delish, had the fish & shrimp. Service was great. Our waitress was friendly & courteous, didn't have to ask for anything. Restaurant looks the same, has been well maintained. Thank you to the owner's & staff. read more

Yummy!! We came in for an early lunch and the staff was super welcoming. Our server was awesome she recommended a few items and some nice cold drinks. I ordered a chicken fried steak with a small side salad and a nice cold beer. The scooners are cold and will keep your drink nice and cold to the last drop. I loved the fact they have a jukebox that plays some cool music. If you're in the area MK Davis is a place to enjoy Sunday lunch with the family or just a friend. read more

I've eaten here 3 times in the past 18 years but I never got what all the hype is about and why this place gets so packed on the weekend. The seafood is good . I'm not too impressed by the chicken fried steak. The seats are hard and not too comfortable. And I hate how they put the salad on the same plate as your entree. Bud Jones never does this and serves the salad on a separate dish before your meal arrives. read more

Came with family for lunch on 19DEC24. I was really looking forward to visiting MK Davis, but given the overall reviews , as well as my own recent experience, it'll be awhile before I return. Our server Jada met us with a short attitude that immediately let us know we would be tolerated minimally and that's it. No welcome/greeting, barely in our seats before asking "do you know what y'all want?" Also, open-toed sandals, which I thought were a health code violation ‍ While our orders were written down, gravy on the side request was ignored, salad dressing missing and we weren't checked on during the 25min wait for fried chicken to come out. Once food came out I noticed the cold salad was put on the hot plate, but I quickly realized that's because the food wasn't hot and fortunately covered in cold gravy. Green beans were fresh out of a can, salad was room temp and brown edges, meat loaf and potatoes were just above room temp. When individual salad dressings were brought out, we were one short which was realized but I already knew customer service was long gone. I sipped my 1 soda slowly, as did the rest of the table, since the opportunity to request a refill never came up. During the course of our meal we were not checked on. read more

M.K. Davis is a staple dinner spot that never disappoints. Service is always good here, quick to get orders out as well. The crispy dogs and bean and cheese nachos are both great standout starters. The chicken fried chicken was impressive, and their fish plates are always satisfying. The music selection is consistently great and one can always rely on enjoying a cold beer or sangria in their ice-cold schooner mugs. Give them a try read more

I've been meaning to try this legendary downtown San Antonio dive for years. Actual years. It's embarrassing, really, that this was my first time here. But I'm really happy to share that after all these years, and after all the stories, this place lived up to the hype. Is it trendy? Nope. Do they have crazy craft beers? I don't think so. But is it cozy? Yes! Is the service personal and attentive? Heck yes. Most importantly: is the food good? The food was *so* good. Good food, good service, and at a fair price - this place is a hidden gem busting at the seams with value. I took a leap of faith and opted for the special of the day (it was roast beef). It comes with two sides and a salad (and a drink) FOR $10. You can't beat that. I asked for double salad and just one side (the green beans). Dang, did I make the wrong choice! The green beans were *excellent*. I should have doubled down on those bad boys. Don't get me wrong, the salad was good, especially with their house-made ranch dressing, but those green beans were just the right amount of peppery that made you wish there was an endless supply on your plate. The gravy on the roast beef was a nice touch. What's it made out of? No clue. Did I wish I had a cup of it to drink? Absolutely. I'll be back to try the stuff that this place is known for! read more

It's like I step back in time and have a perfect comfort food meal. I noticed a friendly and community oriented service with a smile :). This is a personal preference but I did feel claustrophobic with the full tables and no windows in some rooms. But that full tables means it's a great place to have a meal! read more

I've been coming here for over 35 years. My dad was friends with the founder. His daughter and I both attended the same high school, and it's been a go to since forever. Crispy dogs are a must-have! If you're a beer drinker, an ice-cold schooner is the buzz. Whether you order chicken fried steak, hamburger steak, the Pollock, or Mexican food, you can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes are so delicious and green beans, too. Parking is plentiful across the street, too. Expect a wait, especially after 5. It used to be a lounge, with its richly papered walls, and they still have a bar area with seating. It's very nostalgic for me. Must visit at some point if you are in SA. read more

Ordered a Large Dinner Chicken Fried Steak but was served a Lunch special size and then was charged an extra $5.00 for the large. Questioned the waitress about this and she said they go by weight and walked away. Asked to talk to a manager and a woman who said she was the manager but wouldn't give her name said the same thing about weight and then she walked away. Asked for another manager or the owner and got the same person. I explained that I was not questioning the weight but I think they put the wrong steak on the plate and she something under her breath, it sounder like tough, and she walked away. All 8 of us walked out. Never go back. read more

This business has been in SA for many years and they continue to do it right! They are always busy so arrive early. I started with a Sangria. Then order some nachos compuestos. The main entree was the friend chicken. I feel they have the best fried chicken in town. You just have to allow plenty of time for them to cook it fresh!! Nice music playing on the jukebox, lively crowd. read more

The best fried chicken in the whole city-takes awhile to make but when its done.....beats out alot of the other familiars.

The food was good-tostadas were a little over toasted, but the rest of the food was good-had a ribeye steak-cooked as ordered, others had chicken fried steak that was good, they have daily lunch specials-Thursday's was meatloaf-all served with small salad, mashed potatoes Texas toast, atmosphere was nice, clean and rustic, had enough room to seat our large party without a long wait, service was really quick once you order and food delivered to table fast. read more

Poor Service at the Bar these youg kids don't have a clue about Customer Service. There is no control, there is no control of the associates. The Manager sits behind the Register! There is no use on putting your name on the list because everyone just sits when they want too! Horrible Experience, we just walked out!! read more

Have come here for many, many years as it's been a staple not only to the city, but very near and dear to the hearts of my family but I'll be honest, the quality has completely gone down, especially in the fried foods. Onion rings breading fell off entirely and we had to pick up the onion and the breading together to eat. The chicken fried chicken had a soggy bottom and the top came right off and sat on the plate while I just ate a breadingless chicken cutlet. My son ordered boneless wings that were so soggy they were inedible. Gave 2 stars because the beer is cold and the staff is friendly. read more

Many many many (not showing my age) yrs ago our little office group had lunch there 2 times a week....great memories Now back in the area and working nearby just hadda go, in fact, multiple times in the last few weeks. FANTASTIC !! Chicken fried steak, creamy gravy, lotsa fries and a side salad (ALWAYS get an xtra plate to move the salad to)....YUK don't want gravy on my lettuce HOT and crispy Texas toast in its own special basket Lunch: 13.29 = 9.49 + sweet tea...BAM BAM Yes, it's kinda alot for lunch, but it's a treat one deserves once in awhile Every time of late the waitress has been PERFECT, fast, personable and sometimes really cute :) NOTE: they do need to learn what "sweet tea" is, as sometimes you have to add sugar I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE !!! read more

Came here on a Sunday after church cause I wanted chicken fried steak. The hostess was very accommodating to our needs and practically let us pick a table. Older restaurant with a decent-sized bar, with a crowd already. Didn't get appetizers but we ordered a chicken fried steak with fries and a fried chicken plate. The chicken fried steak was decent size and well breaded but it seemed as though it was not cooked all the way. The inside of the breading was still kind of wet and soggy. The meat was cooked but the inside of the breading was either undercooked or just plain soggy from the meat. The fried chicken was a nice size and fried perfectly, still juicy on the inside. Not sure I would return but who knows maybe we just ordered the wrong thing or the cook was off his game. read more

I have been a fan of this place for a long time. My go to order has been the chicken fried steak. The service has always been fine and the place has lots of comfortable seating. Recently we went and I ordered the fisherman's platter. I will not do that again. It was not very good. I also understand inflation but the prices went up so much. I do not see myself going back very often. read more

A group of friends and I stopped here for dinner at the recommendation of a colleague. This locals' favorite is definitely a well-known and well-loved place to grab a meal. It is a no frills, mom-and-pop type of restaurant. Prices are right and service is good. However, the food was just ok. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings. I was expecting more of a homemade kind of burger. This one seemed to be made from a frozen patty. The onion rings were good. The extra crispy coating and seasoning really gave them a little something extra. Although I don't drink beer, they have some HUGE glasses here that looked incredibly refreshing on a hot day! read more

Got the bean and cheese nachos. It was a large group order and my nachos were forgotten. However, they did remake and give me the one left behind. Unfortunately, the person having to go back to the restaurant had to come back and eat his food cold. The nachos were ok. Nothing fabulous, plain bean, cheese, and jalapeños on the side. No salsa. From others in my party: do not get the steak - it was ordered medium and was very well done (said it was the worst he ever had), the chicken fried steak was delicious, but the overall favorite was the fried chicken all white meat. Large pieces, perfect combo of breading to meat, and delicious. read more

Very horrible customer service. Lady, didn't get her name, was so very rude brought us our drinks 1 by 1. and my daughters Dr. Pepper was hotter than hot. She took our appetizer order and never came back to take our actual order. When we were finally able to flag her down she said and I quote " What do you want". Really, come on now. The restaurant was not even busy. It took them 5 min to seat us, time was around 3:30-3:45 in the afternoon. So, we proceeded to ask for a manager and another lady, which I believe she was the manager, said hold on went to the bar and when she saw that we were getting up then she said what do you need. Horrible, Horrible. I have frequented this establishment several times over the years and have never had such a problem as I did today. read more

We ordered a Chicken Fried Steak was cooked & made with too much sodium.The Chicken Fried steak was really hard and non tender thus , hard to cut especially with the butter knives and over salty from the batter and that is not to say how the gravy Tasted. Over salty as all...too much sodium and unhealthy . As I got home proceeded to have to take a water pill because it affected my ankles. The service at first started out good. We went from bad service really fast. Then the waitress got lost.... I had to run up & get my take out utensil and then bags to place my left over food. They never served us with right utensils they served us butter knives they were not steak knives. You would think with the food cost they could afford steak knives...Furthermore , the food and service was lousy, very unprofessional, and inappropriate. When I got home , I realized that I had walked out without getting a receipt and did not noticed until I got home...However, I have decided that I will never go back and eat at MK Davis their or giving a receipt, including the knives choice, their service , unhealthy food for being overly salty and wait staff that would not follow up and check on their. customers...are below average from any restaurant with my standards for satisfactory for me to waste my money nor time because there is no nutrition in "Salty Food" to bring me back to ever eat one more time to MK David Restaurant and Bar in San Antonio to eat. read more
