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.

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!

I only had a couple…read moredays there and originally I wanted to try multiple cafe's but once I tried Newstand that was it, this is the only place I came to for the rest of the trip. I don't even know where to start, everything was 10/10. At first I seen the price of the Bacon egg and cheese sandwich and I was a little scared but I was hungry so I got it. Completely worth it! That bread is so fresh the whole sandwich was just perfection. My matcha... again I was planning to try different things this trip but the Miss Honey matcha just did it for me. And I loved the honeycomb in there it was a yummy treat. The staff were nice, friendly and honestly I loved their styles haha. I love the whole concept and vibe of this place, the menus are super cute too and I love all the natural light that comes in from the big windows. They even had a thrift room! I'd be a regular here if I lived in San Antonio!!

I tried them again, wondering if maybe I was too quick to judge the prices. I was not. I got an…read moreiced chai tea for $9 and the tea itself tasted like plastic. They add on so many fees. I wish I could like this place and respect their prices. They are very honest on their instagram "home of the $9 latte".

Was strolling through the pearl enjoying my matcha courtesy of Yelp and decided to visit the food…read morehall. What ultimately caught my attention was the screen picture of the smoked chicken salad. HOWEVER, they were out of said chicken salad so I ended up getting the olive pesto sandwich which has ham, turkey, olive tapenade, basil pesto, jalapeno cream cheese, pickled peppers and swiss cheese all made on sourdough. I must say I was a little skeptical of the olives since I'm not a huge fan, but I'm glad I ordered. everything went well together and the olive tapenade was delicious. I also got a side order of their beef tallow fried house chips which I enjoyed. I love a good homemade potato chip. Will be back to try that smoked chicken salad, glad to know there's other good things on the menu.

The reason I give it a 3 star vs. 4 ia because we were visiting for the first time and looked visibly lost and no one offered to help us or explained to us that we had to order at the counter. We sat at our table upstairs for a good 15 mins before realizing no waiters were coming.

Burgers By The Butcher was easily the best burger I had during my 4th of July trip to San Antonio…read more The must-try item is the Wagyu burger, it delivered exactly what you hope for from a great burger: incredible flavor, quality ingredients, and a perfectly cooked patty. The staff was another highlight. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, which made the entire experience even better. The fries deserve a special mention as well. The amount you get for $5 is next level and one of the best values I came across during my trip. Burgers By The Butcher has officially earned a spot on my San Antonio food list. Anytime I'm back in SA, stopping here will be a priority.

I was so hyped to find out about this market and grocery store, and especially about all the food…read moreoptions. The store itself is very cute with different sections, seating areas, food vendors to select from, and connects to actual restaurants. The mediocre review is for the "Burgers by the Butcher" place towards the end of the store. The Wagyu burger sounded really good and had good reviews, but it was really dry and not very flavorful. Usually Wagyu is known to be juicy and moist, but this tasted nothing like that caliber. It was disappointing but at least not very pricy. Fries were okay but pretty chopped up and not the style I prefer. Some of the other places looked promising like the ice cream and cafe. The poke/ceviche also sounded good on paper but when we walked by (maybe around 1.5-2 hours before closing), the quality of the raw fish didn't look too great and was a little discolored so we passed. The store itself was very cute and had lots of nice and unique products.

They have great customer service, the food was so wonderful…read more We tried a bit of everything! Eating is all outside, and they have a large hanging canopy that keeps out the heat, so it was nice, but the only downside is we did have a lot of flies near us, makes it hard to enjoy when you keep having to swat away the flies. No fault of theirs really.

Got there around 12:30; had an appointment at 1:30. It almost wasn't enough time. I guess they had a bunch of to go orders, possibly? But then... when the lady walked in and placed her order a good deal of time AFTER I ordered and sat down...when she got her food a good ten minutes BEFORE I got mine....no, man. No. I think they saw the displeasure on my face, because some commented my food would be out soon. I ordered the anchor sandwich. I should have said yes when asked if I wanted my receipt...only then would I have been able to prove they brought it the wrong sandwich. Either that...or they just call basic vinegar based red buffalo sauce "mild spicy aioli". Additionally, I didn't know blue cheese crumbles were also known as "American cheese". Seems the only thing they got right was my request for "no tomato ". The chicken was dry and over fried. It was cool on the inside: it definitely wasn't fresh. That sandwich definitely wasn't worth the money. The loaded fries (Flithy Animal), on the other hand...I might go back solo for those. Their drink fridge was all but empty ( although they were receiving delivery as I ate)...and their health score was a mildly concerning. Still mid 90s, but the place is tiny...how did I you have enough physical space for that many points off? What a let down.

An old buddy wanted to meet up for lunch, so I took him down to Smash'd, and it did not disappoint…read more This little Bar & Grill might fly under the radar, but it delivers big flavor. They've got a solid lineup of burgers on the menu, but I was there for one thing, their Philly cheesesteaks. We both ordered the fully loaded version with fajita peppers and a side of crispy tots. The sandwich was stacked, flavorful, and cooked just right, easily one of the better cheesesteaks you'll find around here. If you're looking for great burgers and even better cheesesteaks, Smash'd is absolutely your spot. Friendly service, good portions, and a menu that hits the mark. Highly recommend checking it out.

I've had this place bookmarked a while. It's on my "best burgers in SAT" list…read more Going in the door, let me just tell you: don't bother parking right across the street. Yeah, okay, it's convenient, but by the time you pay to park (minimum of four hours, which pissed me off) and then have your tiny, overpriced burger...you gonna be mad. Do yourself a favor and fight for street parking. I walked up to the outside counter Saturday night about 7:20. Never been here. The ladies behind the counter obviously could NOT have cared less. No nice welcome...no pleasantries. Nothing said. I spoke first, asking about seating availability inside (it was chilly), and they were rude - looked at me like I was from outer space and said they didn't know. They said they didn't know in that "yeah, good luck with that...it's Saturday at 7, dumbass" kinda way. How could you not know? And if you truly didn't know, which one of them should have gone to check for me. So I went and checked myself. Turns out: plenty of seating. Returned to the chilly duo and placed my order. Ordered the Wake and Bacon burger. I also ordered a Topo Chico, which was also met with a blank "are you from this planet?" stare. How do you not have Topo Chico or something similar !? The burger was just okay. Tiny, but tasty. Fries were so salty and over-seasoned as to be almost inedible. No one checked on me after bringing me my burger. Not one time. The only reason I gave the third star: neat, dog friendly outside area which would be cool for a group outing. Probably not going back.

Removed a star for snarky comeback from business owner. Never have to lie for a review and being implied I'm lying in a reply from a business owner is just distasteful. Lady who was working definitely did also try and upsale a lot as she went on and on in detail about how they won a competition for their banana pudding. She asked us a total of 3 times if we wanted the banana pudding which we finally said yes because she would quit. So yes very frustrating. I have no intent to bring down a business and majority of my reviews are positive. Being accused of lying from a business owner is just wrong. Now a 1 star review. I don't recommend anyone else to get harassed.
