    We were in town for Foursquare Connect 2026 and ended up eating here twice…read more The first visit was for dinner, and I ordered the burger. It was really good--juicy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The only downside was that it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and we were seated right next to the bar during a Spurs game. Let's just say my wife and I learned to communicate through lip reading and interpretive gestures because we couldn't hear each other over the crowd! Our second visit was for lunch, and my wife and I split a sandwich, which was also very good. What really stood out this time was our server. She was outstanding--friendly, attentive, cheerful, and on top of everything we needed. Great service always makes a meal even better, and she absolutely delivered. Overall, we had a good experience both times. The food was solid, the service on our second visit was excellent, and we'd definitely come back. Just one suggestion: if it's game day and you're hoping for a quiet conversation, ask to sit away from the bar...unless, of course, you enjoy shouting sweet nothings across the table!

The Riverwalk was to packed with tourists. I sat at the bar as i wanted to watch March Madness. The guests I was seated next to were nice enough to let me change the channel to see basketball game I wanted to see so that was a plus. The music playing was great upbeat classic rock. The entrance to the restaurant is one floor up from the street on Commerce. Maddy was very pleasant and provided service with a smile. She was very attentive to all customers. I ordered the garlic shiitake noodles and crispy Brussels sprouts along with a tall double captain and Coke Zero. Everything was great. Before a concert I wanted something that wouldn't mess with my sensitive stomach. I enjoyed my experience so much that I returned the following day and ordered the exact same thing. Enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

    I always feel very badly when I don't do a review of such an excellent restaurant and frankly…read moreBoudro's is an example of an exceptional restaurant. Firstly, the ambience is incredible. We were right on the river walk, but walked through the entire restaurant on our way to be seated and every bit of it is as lovely as where we ended up sitting. The Riverwalk, however, is a people watching place and so there really isn't any place in this particular restaurant which is not gonna be pleasant. Secondly, the service is exceptional. This is a very busy place. However, the waiter was simply incredible. Very attentive, very informative quite humorous. He was frankly part of the river walk entertainment. Extremely accommodating and instructive as well. You can't hope for much more from a server in Restaurant than this activity. The food is really quite good. How are the drinks. Extremely dependable and the portions are generous and equally wonderful. There are many places to dine in San Antonio. However, this is an experience not to be missed and I mean that quite sincerely. Kudos for a very, very well run well situated and well managed enjoyable place to dine on the river walk in San Antonio.

    This place was absolutely packed and had a great energetic vibe. The dining area is a little tight,…read morebut not so cramped that you're bumping into people. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it gets busy fast. The prices are on the higher side, and my husband felt his Old Fashioned was a bit watered down compared to similar drinks we've had at other restaurants. On the plus side, our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. We ordered the pork tenderloin, ribeye, and shrimp and grits with a creamy gravy sauce. Every single dish was delicious. I'm pretty picky when it comes to steak, but the ribeye really impressed me: it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The shrimp and grits were another standout. The creamy sauce was rich and incredibly tasty, with just a hint of spice that added flavor without being overwhelming. As someone who doesn't enjoy very spicy food, I thought it was just right. Overall, despite the crowded atmosphere and slightly disappointing cocktail, the food was excellent and definitely the highlight of our visit. We'd happily come back for another meal.

    I went to Brenner's to celebrate my birthday this past Friday night. I cannot say enough about the…read morelovely experience. First and foremost, our waitress, Savannah, was extraordinary! She was attentive thru out the evening, extremely pleasant conversation, wonderful input with recommendations and just an overall joy to be served by. My dinner, miso glazed sea bass, damn near melted in my mouth. I can't recall the last time I had such a perfect piece of fish. My husband had the wagyu filet and was just as pleased; neither of us had appetizers as we're not big eaters. For dessert Savannah recommended the butter pecan bread pudding and it was Heaven on a plate. If and when I am back in the area I will definitely stop in again!!

    We were looking for a nice dinner spot and came across this place on OpenTable with great reviews,…read moreso we decided to give it a try. Honestly, such a good choice. The setting alone is beautiful, and as boats would pass by along the river, people were out celebrating and it made the whole experience feel really lively and fun. Service was great from the start, very welcoming and attentive without being over the top. The food did not disappoint either. We shared the red snapper and a steak cooked medium, and both were done perfectly. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and exactly how we ordered it. Overall, just a really nice dinner experience. Good food, great atmosphere, and definitely a spot I would come back to when visiting San Antonio again.

We shared a bunch of tapas and one of the signature paellas -- every dish had that perfect balance of flavor, fresh ingredients, and just enough flair without trying too hard. The rice in the paella was on point, crispy bits and all. Atmosphere is lively but not chaotic -- great for a relaxed dinner that stretches into a couple of hours. Dim lighting, nice energy, and you can actually hear the people at your table. Service was smooth and friendly, no rushing, just good pacing so you can enjoy the meal. If you're in San Antonio and craving real Spanish vibes -- tapas, sangria, paella, the works -- Toro delivers without the tourist-trap nonsense. It's become one of my go-to spots when I want quality food and a chill night out. Fair prices for the quality, clean spot, and that certified Spanish restaurant stamp means they're doing it right. Highly recommend. We'll be back for sure -- 5 stars, no notes. Go hungry and bring friends to share everything. Toro Kitchen + Bar - do it.

It was so loud, We were still able to talk and enjoy each other's company. We enjoyed a few tapas off of the menu and a bottle of red wine. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back to try more off the menu as it is vast. So much to choose from. Something to note, there is a speakeasy under this restaurant. Ask the bartenders about it.

    If I had to describe my experience at Pinkerton's Barbecue with four A's, it'd be this:…read more Authentic - Everything tasted like true Texas barbecue. The meat was smoky, tender, and packed with flavor without needing to hide behind sauce. Attentive - The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel like they genuinely appreciated our business. Great service from start to finish. Addictive - Every bite made me want another. The food was so good that I was already thinking about my next visit before we even left. Amazing - From the quality of the food to the atmosphere and service, everything exceeded expectations. This was one of the best barbecue experiences I've had. Pinkerton's absolutely lived up to the hype. Fantastic food, outstanding service, and an all-around memorable experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Texas. Highly recommend!

The employees were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great customer service like that really makes a difference. The food was absolutely delicious. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a 10/10--full of flavor with a nice spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. The regular sausage was also a 10/10 and just as impressive. The brisket was juicy, tender, and loaded with flavor in every bite. For sides, we tried the macaroni and cheese with bacon, and it was phenomenal. Rich, creamy, and easily one of the best sides I've had. The jalapeño rice was something I've never had before, and it was surprisingly unique and incredibly good. Overall, Pinkerton's Barbecue delivered amazing food and exceptional service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great barbecue.
