    Crabcake appetizer and the queso fresco with brisket was phenomenal! They were not cheap with the brisket even though at first it doesn't look like much. Chicken tortilla soup has a very strong celery stock flavor. Almost reminds you of an Indian seasoning that was added to the mix or something. Wasn't a fan. Caesar salad was heavy on the dressing; was soaked so I didn't eat more than two bites. Steak cuts were great! We didn't add any toppings as it is not needed. Service was good and booth seating was secluded and had a romantic vibe. Overall, nice outing.

    Steak and lump crab

    6oz Center cut sirloin with lump crab, Parmesan truffle fries and an aioli sauce to dip fries in. Amazing, juicy, perfect!

    I came in to do take out. I sat at the bar finally acknowledged after 10 minutes. Received the menu and was ready to order after sitting there and not able to get the attention of the server I decided to dine in. My server was very attentive. So happy I decided to dine in. My server Ryan is very attentive and is making sure the remainder of my experience is a great one. The atmosphere was great I must say the music was a little louder than usual to me. The food was delicious. I ordered fried mushrooms and shrimp pasta

    We were visiting San Antonio for hubby's Viet Nam reunion; came here for a Texas angus beef steak dinner! Hubby chose the ribeye with fries; I had potato soup as an appetizer. However, the soup was too spicy for my liking. I had a filet with green beans. Green beans were excellent but my steak, again, was too peppery and spicy for my taste. Being from the Midwest, we don't eat very spicy food and this was a little too much for our palates!

    William was a great server . He seated a party of 15 at around 7ish on 7/7/26 and although it was a little late he was a very attentive server . We will be coming back as his customer service was great. The food was also delicious.

    Food was amazing. Perfect portions. We shared a 19oz ribeye cooked to perfection. Paired with Rabble wine from Paso Robles. The staff was very friendly and we didn't have to wait long between drinks even as it got very busy.

    Skillet queso and chips. Small. Good for one person.

    A great place if you need to Impress someone...please not your date. This four star is really pushing it for me. I give this to our sweet server whose name I forgot (sorry). We came as a group of girls to share some appetizers and drinks. Drinks too expensive so we changed to water. Tenderloin bites have a great taste but swimming in oil. Skillet queso great but small. Brussel sprouts great. Smoked Mac and cheese okay. Carrot cake for the win!!! Watch out! A mad bull will stare at you while you eat. He's mad that you ate his brother! ;) The listed above items all we ate still had a $47 bill. Nice place but I'll appetizer AND drink somewhere else next time.

    The redfish never disappoints.

    Words don't begin to describe my joy when I found out this restaurant brought back the redfish -- my very favorite dish on their menu. I had to make do with the salmon when I visited before, and it just was not the same. I made a reservation and we were seated very quickly. Our waitress was attentive and informative and the food was very tasty. My husband had a ribeye steak and was completely satisfied. We met some friends here for dinner and we all had a great time chatting and socializing. I am really looking forward to our next visit. The whole experience was great!!

    First time at this location and it was amazing ! The New York Strip steak was so soft & delicious ! Kids Spaghetti was a great amount ! I love that meals come with a soup or salad first ! Bread was nice ! Nothing amazing but it was okay . Service was okay . Server left us hanging for little while but he came around eventually he was training so i understand. The location was nice and clean . Host team was nice ! Also that giant pepper shaker was amazing!

    My last dinner in San Antonio was at nearby LongHorn Steakhouse, and it was such a disappointment that I wanted to try out this Saltgrass Steakhouse as my last meal in San Antonio, outside of the airport at least. This Saltgrass location is located just off the 410 loop west of the 281. It's real close to the airport and was a big reason why I chose to dine here right before my last rental car ride to the airport. Besides this one and the Riverwalk location, which I had already visited, there are four other locations in San Antonio. There was someone right at the front door, but it looks like he's actually an employee who simply opens the front door for you. Greeter perhaps? But then again, he's not really doing any greeting. When I came in, I saw the bar off to the left, and I asked the hostess if the bar was open seating, to which she answered affirmatively. I chose to sit there. A minute or two after I took a seat at the bar, Brittney was the one who served me. She was pretty good, a lot better than the server I had the previous night at LongHorn. She got me started with a glass of iced water, and then I asked her about the lunch specials. I had seen them online, but turns out they're only for weekdays. A little disappointing, but I wouldn't have been able to make a weekday lunch anyhow. The previous night, I had an Outlaw Ribeye from LongHorn, so this time, I wanted to do something a little different and choose a seafood. I didn't want another steak since it would have been 2 steak meals within a 24-hour time span. As a result, I went with the Atlantic Salmon. Brittney mentioned the salmon would come with a side and a soup or salad. For the side, I asked about the flash fried green beans, and she mentioned they are only lightly fried at best, about 30 seconds tops. I wanted to see how lightly fried green beans would taste, so I went with the green beans. For the soup, I already had the Loaded Baked Potato Soup from the Saltgrass Riverwalk location, so i went with the other soup option, the Chicken Tortilla. Brittney also offered me bread to go with my tortilla soup, and I couldn't refuse. The soup, however, was quite watery. Definitely nowhere near as creamy as the Loaded Baked Potato, but the flavor was still there nonetheless. It just doesn't go as well with the complimentary bread, but there is enough butter for the piece of bread that you get. It took a while for the plate of Atlantic Salmon and Flash Fried Green Beans to come out. I was impressed at how the Flash Fried Green Beans were cooked. Almost to perfection, at least according to my taste buds! The salmon was quite good, but could have been better, at least in the flavor department. The top of the salmon was nicely charred, but perhaps borderline burnt? Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the rest of the salmon. When I was done, Brittney was impressed at how I ate so fast! Well, I did have to catch a flight in 3 hours, so that's why I didn't want to spend too long there, but the tasty food helped as well. It could have had better flavor overall, but I was satisfied enough that I'd consider this a successful meal to end my trip to San Antonio. The interior of the restaurant is kind of dark, but there's plenty enough western decor to make you admire the place while you wait for your food. Service overall by Brittney and the other servers from what I could see was on point. Farewell Saltgrass and farewell San Antonio! It's been real. They don't have a location in California, but if I travel somewhere else that has a Saltgrass location, I'll definitely stop by! :)

    Yummy ribeye.
    Roel Kristy V.

    Wow! Don't count this location out for a delicious steak! I know, I know, us self-acknowleged steak snobs are not to flock to 'chain' grill joints, but....oh, my....this was an impeccable flavor and and, Oh, so tender. My 12 oz ribeye was cooked exactly medium rare, not over or under. Same with my husband's sirloin. Oh, don't overlook the wonderful fried mushrooms, which are all sizes and are clearly fried fresh. Perfect appetizer. Thank you for a great meal

    Redfish

    As a longtime Landry member, we enjoy doing reviews on different Landry locations around Texas. While visiting San Antonio, we decided to stop at this Saltgrass for a late lunch. Upon entering, we were welcomed and accommodated with a table request. The environment was quiet and noticed several large parties. We ordered drinks which came out quickly and then ordered a 6 count shrimp cocktail, which appeared not to be cleaned properly and no pico on the cocktail sauce. We ordered the redfish and it came out hot and very delicious. The food was okay and unfortunately gave this location a two star because our credit card was not returned as we handed it to our server.

    Sirloin with green beans.  A lot of gristle.
    Dave H.

    Another long day at the office with no time to run out for lunch. This time we tried the lunch menu. The prices have really gone up. My small sirloin without any drink was over $20 after tax and tip. I had the sirloin with green beans and caesar salad. The salad was fresh and I enjoy the dressing. The green beans were the start of the show. Fresh and not overcooked, with a nice seasoning. But the sirloin disappoints. It was medium rare as I ordered, but my coworkers asked what all the noise was as I tried to cut it. The plastic knife had trouble cutting through all the gristle. I didn't give up and chewed what I could. You can see in the photo whar was left. Another coworker had the ribeye and said it was good. And another had the cheeseburger. She said it was okay.

The only problem with sitting on the river is the male Hispanic Rio tour boats drivers all make the same comment when they drive by. They must have it in their gag book or learned from each other. When they drive by they always talk about all the restaurants in this particular area touting how they got everything here, Mexican and then as they drive by "and over there is Chinese Mexican". I mean, by the 6th time it was just kinda annoying. Anyway, the food here was really good. Their prime rib is not like your standard thick cut medium rare prime rib. It's a regular steak. The blackened version is their premiere steak. But we passed. Their shrimp and grits is their most famous dish. I tried it and it was fantastic (and I don't even care for grits) The ribeye was also good. Slightly overdone for medium rare unfortunately m. But good albeit tough to cut as a result. Our waiter never stopped by for a water refill or to ask how the meal was so we had to flag down someone for the water and a steak knife which came when we were almost done eating unfortunately. A bit sad when you're tipping $20 for never coming by. He didn't even bring out the food. But he did do the guac. About the guac. Tableside guacamole is pretty good. But it'll fill you up fast. So pace yourself. It come with chips which we occasionally gave a few to the hungry ducks who were all waiting for hand outs. Definitely make reservations! It was packed in the evening.

They recently received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin for good quality and value. Frankly I think they deserve a star, but that's just me. Ladino is located at The Pearl and making a reservation through Open Table is a must! They book up days in advance, so I encourage you to reserve a table ahead of time. They specialize in small tapas style plates, so if you are coming with a group you can order a couple of items to share. They also have a few excellent main dishes, but my favorite is the steak. From the smaller plates I think I've tried almost everything and there hasn't been one I didn't love. However the hummus is a must and the feta cheese is always a winner when I bring new people to Ladino. The staff here is outstanding! The level of service they offer is unbelievable. They truly make sure you have an outstanding experience during your visit, and that level of service is hard to find.

    Another great meal! Our server Brahim provided the perfect service: attentive, thoughtful, kind…read more Really enhanced our meal. For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!

    On the advice of a good friend the suggestion was to try J-Prime Steakhouse's"Social Hour." I have…read moreheard about many times but I never found the perfect occasion to try it. But at my age anytime you are over ground is the best occasion. I have heard it is real fancy. And it is. Do not come in Crocs and sweatpants. This is not that restaurant. It is that restaurant where you should make reservations. It is also a place that emphasizes presentation and service. We came right when it opened and we informed the hostess of our reservations. We were seated in the bar area. Once inside I was struck by its ambience. It is sleek, dark and dare say "sexy." Our server, who was extremely attentive came to our table and took our drink orders. My partner ordered an Old Fashioned and me, a Lagunitas IPA. Whilst waiting for our drinks I looked over the room. One thing I noticed was a barrier that separated the bar area and the dining room. The Social Hour is meant, to socialize. I saw couples leaning into each other. Another group were drinking martinis with a seafood tower, almost touching the ceiling. Conversations were had. Romantic glances were exchanged. It isn't a casual place like Bubba's 33 nor Texas Roadhouse. It feels like a place best suited for a date night or an anniversary. I'm wondering how the dining room area is? The Social Hour does offer some drink and small bites specials. We ordered the kabob with pineapple, brussel sprouts, and sliders. They were all pretty great. It reminded me of the same experience as in partaking in tapas. I would remiss if I didn't relay our service here, it was excellent. Our server, Holiday(I hope I spelled it right.) treated us like we were the only patrons there. I've gone to upscale restaurants where staff looks at you up and down. Or they try to size you up. This is not that place. Which was so refreshing. If this place went above and beyond my expectations why didn't I give it four stars? In my opinion I think that a place that creates an upscale experience needs to have a few beers on tap. Even places like Wing Daddy's or Chili's offers a few beers on tap. Secondly, the bar area seating feels a bit tight. I wonder when the dinner crowd arrives would you be in the lap, of someone else's conversation? I still highly recommend this place. The Social Hour area is perfect for a date or an anniversary. The service and food were both excellent. And I've never been to a place where you are given warm hand towels. It reminded me of that scene with Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" minus Billy Idol.

    As I reminisce on my final (?) meal at The Barn Door earlier today, I have difficulty expressing…read morehow sad I feel to lose a landmark that has served as a second home for generations of San Antonians. For 73 years, The Barn Door has been more than a great restaurant; it has been an inexorable piece of San Antonio history. Last week, The Barn Door announced on Facebook that its final day of service will be Sunday, May 11th (Mother's Day). The Barn Door has been an outstanding steakhouse in the truest sense. They've never relied on gimmicks or culinary trends--they've relied on the tried-and-true flavors that have maintained a loyal clientele for decades. I'm taking about hand-cut, primal cuts of beef grilled over real mesquite, delivering that unmistakable South Texas char. I'm referring to plump, wild-caught shrimp from the Gulf Coast, the famous yeast rolls, and tubs of homemade salad dressings. If you've been there, you know how special the overall experience has been. I've read many heartfelt comments on social media asking why such a successful institution would cease operations. Well, dear reader, I have a unique insight into why. Randy Stokes has poured his heart into the restaurant, but he merely leases the building--not the land--from the Straus family. Approximately seven months ago, Mr. Straus decided to sell the dirt beneath the "Barn" to a real estate developer. The plan? To raze this historic site and erect modern condos. It's a familiar story of urban expansion, but it doesn't make the loss any easier to swallow. But before we close the door on "The Barn" forever, a glimmer of hope looms on the horizon. Randy Stokes and his team aren't necessarily hanging up their aprons for good. According to a reliable anonymous source, the team has expressed a desire to reopen The Barn Door at a new location, with eyes set currently on the city's North Side. I hope the promise of a new location comes to fruition, but even if The Barn Door closes forever, I will cherish all the wonderful memories of dining there with my parents and grandparents over the years. I will remember the ingratiating staff, the unique ambience, and the hundreds of delicious meals I've crammed down my gullet.

    This restaurant has been here for about 50 years now and it's definitely showing it's age…read more Half the sign wasn't working. It's a sketchy area to walk behind the restaurant to the Speakeasy. Anyhow, I ordered the chicken fried ribeye, jalapeño twice baked potato. Now, the potato was great. I didn't care for the ribeye and didn't eat it. The salad was right out of the bag. Iceberg, shredded carrots and cabbage with 5 bagged croutons. What happened? It wasn't like that before. My cream spinach came out late, and we weren't charged for it, which was nice. My brother in laws filet was too done. He asked for medium, and it was medium well. He ate it anyway. They used to have a 6oz ladies filet, but they don't. The server wasn't perfect, but we lived. IF I return, I'll skip the salad, get the filet and potato.
