Brandie A.

My favorite spot for a 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet iced tea. Always fresh and refreshing. The employees were setting up a large catering order when I walked in shortly after opening. In no time I was greeted and my food was made fresh and fast.

Gave me moldy avocado in a $12 sandwich usually good but this was so gross especially for how much you pay

This is false advertising

Soggy and not toasted, or at least it doesn't look and feel like it's toasted. In comparison to the sandwich on their menu online, it's definitely false advertising. For 50$ for 3 sandwiches and 3 teas I think they could do better at making this more appetizing and like the actual pictures. When I opened my box it was soggy and soft. And no I didn't let it sit either. I ordered and picked it up right away

Small McCallister Club wrap & Mac and Cheese.

Location had very friendly staff, location was clean and plenty of seating. Plenty of outside parking, no wait. Offered a free refill and tasty food. Only reason i took a star off was because she's my meal was $11 for the McCallister club wrap and it was very small, could get a bigger wrap worth that price. Also because the restroom was dirty.

Sweet iced tea
Carolina E.

Love the service at this location and the fresh food. McAlister's club is my favorite and I like the Southwest chicken salad. The tea is always on point with a nice wedge of lemon to go in the cup. My go to when I want a sandwich.

Fast service, good food and plenty of options. I went for lunch to meet up with friends. I couldn't decide what to eat since everything looked very good. I ended up getting a sandwich, but next time I will get a baked potato. They have plenty of sandwich options to include vegetarian. I ended up with a vegetarian sandwich. For my side I chose a tomato and cucumber salad. The sandwich was delicious with plenty of veggies. The bread was nice and soft. The tomato and cucumber salad did have a lot of red onion in it. The good thing is that the red onion is cut pretty large so you can set it aside if needed. I ended up getting sweet tea since their sweet tea is very good. They have plenty of seating inside. They also have some seating outside. I did notice a drive-through as well. Parking is on site, but shared with the other businesses.

Steak and pepper sandwich limited time
Heather S.

Such great atmosphere! The lady at the register with blue eyeliner taking out order was so positive and nice and helpful! I did decide to try the limited time only steak and pepper sandwich ..I personally was not a fan. I stick to my usual! Lol clean and well maintained restaurant! I recommend! 10/10!

Kids meals- Kids Pizza & Smuckers Uncrustables PB&J
Ayacell S.

Food was good! Fast service and every side, sandwich was GOOD. I love the kids meal, big bang for your buck. Employees are always nice and helpful. The restrooms were a little messy and it was slow so I took one star for that.

First time visit with my wife for breakfast. Protein pancakes were excellent. They were hot, moist,…read moreflavorful, and generous serving. My wife ordered the PH Protein wrap (chicken). The ingredients were all farm fresh. The wrap was full and plentiful. My wife could only eat half. The area we found for improvement would be to offer salsa on the side for the wraps. They do not heavily salt the food, which I think is a good thing. It allows the flavor of the fresh ingredients to shine. However, without salsa, you feel the wrap needs salt. As for the wait time, it was longer than we are accustomed to. This is not a fast food restaurant. This is a quality specialty restaurant. If you plan to visit, understand that your food is being made fresh with fresh, healthy, natural ingredients, not food that has been sitting under heat lamps. It will be worth the wait. Just be sure you plan for it. I will definitely be back. Gotta try the burgers.

My husband enjoyed the PH burger, definitely felt like we were getting our money's worth, which a meal is 18 bucks or so. Caution on add ons/exchanges! The cashier asked what rice I wanted and she told me the options, so I said Ill try the turmeric and didnt think to ask if there was extra cost, but it was a dollar extra.

This location is tucked away in a small shopping mall but there is plenty of parking unlike the location on Babcock. Check them out if you're in the mood for yummy Turkish cuisine!

The food is out of this world with such large portions. I get the Drunken Monkey every time I go and am so glad with every bite as it is so fresh. Please note that their food is made fresh and the cost is only a recommendation since you give what you can but they only ask cash or check. There is a ATM around the corner but it's best to come with cash in the pocket as it's so worth it. So the next time you are anywhere near the area on the weekends and want a great breakfast you have to go but get there early as there may be a line since the service and food is that damn good.

My girlfriend and I ended up trying their Greek fries, their chicken plate, and even one of their gyro sandwiches. All three dishes were full of flavor and savory, and if you asked me, it's worth the price if you want some good food if you're in the area. I will note especially that despite even being met with a rude customer, they were still professional as they got them settled in with their order. Even after when I had simply passed by one of the cooks, they made an effort to say to enjoy the food. It's a quiet hole in the wall. It is also by far one of the closest experiences that anyone can get to authentic Greek food with some pita bread and hummus. Although it has better prices than most, I literally went to the mall, and after, accidentally sat on a sealed container of my girlfriend's Greek fries and gyro sandwich... if you want leftovers that can withstand a big guy sitting on them - well, you go here too. I dented the cover and it did not pop open. We ended up eating the fries later when we got home. Still great.

If you're looking for a place that feels less like a restaurant and more like you just walked into…read moresomebody's home after church on a Sunday... this is it. From the moment we stepped into 6 Klicks Cafe, the vibe was immediate--warm, welcoming, and real. Not forced, not corporate. Just genuine energy. The kind of place where you already know you're about to eat good before you even see the menu. The Food I ordered the grilled chicken marsala, and they didn't just throw it on a plate--they presented it. Everything looked intentional. * Chicken cooked perfectly * Sauce was on point * Mashed potatoes? Had me wanting the recipe after one bite * Green beans with sausage and onion--straight comfort food I also tried the chicken tenders, fries, and Texas toast--everything was done right. Crispy where it needed to be, flavorful across the board. Portion size? Let's be real, it felt like they made the plate for two people. ________________________________________ ‍ Service Service was top-tier. * Greeted immediately * Server knew the menu and helped us decide * Drinks came fast (shoutout to that blackberry tea ) * Food came out in under 10 minutes No waiting, no confusion, no "let me check on that" energy. Just smooth. ________________________________________ Atmosphere This place has identity. It's not trying to be trendy--it's authentic. You can feel the story behind it. Veteran-owned, patriotic, and built with intention. It's the kind of spot where you could sit, eat, and talk for hours without feeling rushed. Family vibe all day. ________________________________________ Price vs Value Not the cheapest--but worth it. When the portions are big, the food is made right, and the experience is solid... the price makes sense. ________________________________________ Final Verdict 10/10 (with no real complaints) This isn't just somewhere you eat. This is somewhere you go when you want real food, real service, and a real atmosphere. I'll definitely be back I'd recommend it without hesitation Not a one-and-done spot--this is a regular rotation type place

I found this restaurant while visiting San Antonio and wanted to avoid dining near the River Walk, so I followed an article that listed it as the best authentic Italian restaurant in the city.
