    The dessert was amazing
    Robert G.

    That dessert was an absolute standout from start to finish. Every bite struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering, letting the flavors shine through naturally

    Whole chicken with charro beans
    Jen H.

    Don't judge a book by its cover because this restaurant has some of the tastiest chicken! And if you get the chicken, make sure to add on the charro beans because it definitely made the meal even better. The whole chicken meal includes the chicken, a side of rice, 8 corn tortillas, grilled onion, grilled jalapeno, and lime. Salsas are included as well. Charro beans are an extra fee. It is casual dining here but also feels homey. Service was quick and efficient. I want to try the other menu items, but I feel like the chicken reigns supreme here and is a tried and true staple.

    This is going to seem more like a rant than anything which I wanted to avoid. I feel like you should judge an establishment on more than just food. The service, ambience, cleanliness, etc.... The food is AMAZING HERE! Been here a couple of times. Just a little inconsistent and the tortillas are bad. The rest is awesome! The burgers are some of the best I've had in town! The chicken and sides are pretty much great! We've had the discada, fajita, etc.... All great. Our gripes are with the service! I'm confused. There are waitresses there, just don't know why? They take your order, bring it. THATS IT! Several times we've had to flag down a waitress, or one time had to get up and tap one on the shoulder. There is a line for tip, so I assume they are waitresses. They look at you like you are bugging them. I'm so sorry but I feel so unwelcome when we come. Make it one of those place where you order, then get your food at counter! I'm sorry if this takes away from the food being great! I promise it is. We will just order that out from now on!

    Parrillada and loaded baked potato
    Rudy G.

    We have tried this place twice well, we were in San Antonio and the parrillada it's always her favorite to try. Today we tried that baked potato with Carne Asada and that is just as good. All the meats, rice and beans and free refill on tea definitely hit the spot.

    Papá asada with carne asada
    Edgar P.

    Walked in on Saturday wasn't busy but the services sucks the people were really rude we sat for about 10mintues before someone came to ask us if we needed anything, the person that helped us was rude too we came to try it because of the hype other people post on line but they should be honest about the sucky service we ended up ordering a parrillada with all kinds of meat an a papa asada with carne asada the parillada was pretty good and the papa too and food came out hot wish they had better service people thou

    This place is absolutely AMAZING, I'm upset there isn't one in the West Coast when I go back home. Employees are so friendly and explain everything, plenty of parking, prices are good. The food is DELICIOUS, the chicken is juicy, the beans taste amazing. I am completely impressed by this place and will be returning every time I am in town. They offer a 10% discount when you check in on yelp. Yes please. I definitely recommend.

    Chicken!

The owner is very friendly! He has been open for around 45 years! My friend already ate and was just debating if she should eat more. I went ahead and ordered the 2 chicken 2 fish and 2 shrimp for 2 people. He started making the order the time my friend was still thinking about eating more. 10 minutes later he opens the window saying he made 3 of each at the price of 2 wanting my friend to try it. That was the nicest gesture! If you love fried chicken please don't sleep on this place! Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious! Including the fries! We did a little picnic style in the back of my trunk in the parking lot and enjoyed watching people. This is the pure definition of a hole in a wall mom and pop place! Highly highly recommend

I went in for the fish & fries & began asking questions about their chicken…read more Everyone vouched for their fish and finally one patron said their chicken was absolutely delicious! He said that he followed them from their previous location to this new location. The staff is friendly, it seems family owned. The patrons are also friendly- everyone was social with me at least. It was a cool experience. The food was great! It definitely met all expectations. I would definitely recommend it. It was a bit of a drive for me but I'd do it again. Well worth it!!

    Pete's Hot Chicken is one of my go-to lunch spots, and this visit was another winner…read more The Chicken Caesar Salad was honestly a 10/10. The lettuce was super fresh and crunchy, the dressing was just right, and adding the crispy chicken in mild was the perfect choice. It had just enough heat to make the salad even better without being overpowering. You can never go wrong with the hot chicken tenders. They're a classic for a reason...crispy, juicy, and consistently delicious every time. And let's talk about the bacon mac and cheese. It's easily the best in San Antonio and a must-order every single visit. So creamy, cheesy, and loaded with bacon. We also tried the jalapeño smash burger, and wow. It was juicy, flavorful, served hot, and had the perfect amount of kick. If you're looking for a great weekend lunch, Pete's Hot Chicken is always a solid choice. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. We'll definitely be back.

    Was not sure about Pete's when we first pulled up as does not look like much from the outside…read more Once you enter, all are very friendly and supply great customer service. There is seating on the outside that is covered and has fans. Inside has a cool vibe, with many games to keep you busy until food arrives and possibly after. They gave a military discount and appreciate the military. Food was VERY Tasty all around!! Not your average Hot Chicken place, from fresh buns, to crispy chicken on the outside to tender on the inside with good flavor. Only one problem, is wish that we lived closer

I got the chicken tenders and they were flavorful, juicy, and seasoned really well with a crisp, golden coating that had a great crunch without being greasy. Every bite tasted fresh and satisfying.

I love the message this place puts out and I love the history you can learn while you wait for your food however we were not fans of the food. The chicken was drenched in oil so the bottom piece was incredibly soggy. It didn't have much flavor to us besides salt and the spicy ranch was more chipotle than anything, it just didn't pair well to us. The Mac and cheese was also okay, I like the onion flavor profile it had but the texture was very chewy and gritty and just not appetizing to us. I'm not sure if we went on an off day or if this is the standard but we will probably never eat here again.
