    Our beloved Jim's has finally been reincarnated and I have to be honest, they did quite a good job! Adair Kitchen has a welcoming vibe from the moment you step inside. Somewhat of a blend between classic diner and mid century modern, the place is truly beautiful. You order at the front counter then find your way to your own table so be prepared for that and take into consideration the size of your party. Once seated, our drinks came out in no time but I cannot say the same for the food. There was some holdup with the fish tacos and by the time they did arrive, we were disappointed to find they tasted entirely too fishy. Without asking, our server said she was going to take care of them on our bill, which was an odd thing to say as we had already paid up front at the counter so that didn't happen. Wasn't enough to entirely derail us though. The lemon and artichoke soup and Joe's hot chicken were absolutely scrumptious and were enough to collectively fill us up beyond the taco flop. Nearly anywhere you sit you've got a great view for people watching on Broadway and they make it clear that you are welcome to linger a while, a nice touch in the hustle and bustle of the world outside their walls. The menu changes through the day and has unique enough items that you can try something different each visit, with daily specials to boot (discounted margaritas and burgers every Wednesday? Count me in!) I can certainly see myself returning!

    First time at Adair. I enjoyed the aesthetic. Very modern and open. Happy hour is 3-6pm. 1/2 off all starters. 1/2 glasses of wine, and & $10 martinis. I had the beets and the meatball off the HH menu for dinner. We had the hummus appetizer and it was really good! Just a note that the Roasted beets are served chilled. We also had the chicken salad that's on the starter menu. It's big enough to be your meal. Off the dinner menu the table had the pecan crusted chicken and the burger. Both were good. For dessert we had the Apple bread pudding, the lemon icebox cake, and the cheesecake. All were delicious! My favorite was the lemon icebox cake! It did have a smaller menu at dinner. And the music was a tad bit loud. We could have a regular conversation we had to elevate our voices. If a manager reads this consider lowering the music at dinner. Serena was our server and she was great!!

    09 Mar 2026 We returned to try dinner. There is table service for dinner. Our server was very enthusiastic in describing the drink menu. Alas, we just want iced tea. A chilled bottle of water is brought for the table. The description of the food items didn't quite jibe with the on-line menu. My pecan-crusted chicken was described on-line as served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The restaurant menu states it is served with a green bean salad. When I asked what is this salad, the server said people get confused thinking they're getting a salad. You are not. There are minced pieces of I guess green beans sprinkled on top of the chicken. There is a sauce underneath the chicken which wasn't bad. The chicken. I was expecting real pieces of chicken. What you get is a chicken breaded filet that I bet is bought by the frozen bagful. There are also several pecan halves on the plate. The husband ordered the 12 oz hanging beef steak, served with onion butter. A very small dollop, not melted, still hard. Since neither dish came with sides, we ordered whipped sweet potatoes and cheesy mashed potatoes. Nothing to get excited about. I didn't taste any cheese in the cheesy mashed potatoes. They were very dry. I mentioned this towards the end of dinner and the server said yes, he had noticed they were dry, but that they are usually very good. Hmmm. Well, we got this far and so I ordered a dessert - lemon lime icebox pie. This wasn't bad, served with whipped cream. We had iced tea (served in small glasses) and never got a refill, even after asking. Other than that, service was good. Maybe a lot of the not-so-goodness is due to their newness and still feeling their way. I m not sure.

    Great idea but they still need time to get the kinks ironed out. We came a week after opening. So there was a line. We ordered at the counter and soon after the food came out. There was little to no silver wear available on any of the tables. We had to go a few over to get some off another table. Half way through my first turkey BLT half I realized there was no bacon at all. There is no one to check up on you or to see if you need anything else as you dine .So telling Waite staff was almost impossible. They did mess up our order a bit as well. Every one was dressed pretty causal I couldn't tell where the manager was. I really wish we got the attention of someone to help fix our experience. Like someone going around to ask how everything was. The highlight of everything was the lemon artichoke soup.

    Adair Kitchen is a new addition to San Antonio, with its flagship location in Houston. It has taken over the former Jim's building and completely transformed the space with beautiful minimalist décor. When you walk in, you're greeted and place your order at the front counter, then receive a number for your table. We started out with 2 lattes, and we both ordered another because it was so good. We ordered the two eggs with hash brown casserole and a biscuit. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but the hash brown casserole, which is more like a latke, was a bit underwhelming in flavor. The buttermilk biscuit was decent but quite dense rather than light and fluffy. The strawberry compote, however, was fresh and very good. My husband ordered the chicken honey butter biscuit. The chicken itself was crunchy and cooked well, but it lacked seasoning. The biscuit was also extremely thick, so much so that he ended up removing one half just to eat it. With a good brine and a more flavorful batter, the chicken could really shine. We also ordered a side of fruit, and a side of grits. The grits had a nice little kick from jalapeños, but like the rest of the meal they were very lightly seasoned. I'm someone who almost never adds salt to food, but a little seasoning is important to bring out the natural flavors. The service was excellent and the space is lovely, but overall the food felt a bit too restrained on seasoning for my taste.

    First let's pause and appreciate the beautiful update of the 1960's Jim's architecture with giant windows and open dining space. Love that they kept the booths, but modernized them. Adair is a diner concept with breakfast, lunch and dinner with orders placed at the counter. The menu has breakfast staples, lunch items like the baja Caesar and the "not Jennifer Aniston's salad." A full bar serves up craft cocktails like a lavender infused French 75. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The perfect spot before or after the Witte, Botanical garden or zoo visit.

    $15 meatball
    Michael Z.

    Meatball appetizer was 15 bucks. It was good, but appeared to be mixed with rice or some other grain. Not exactly fit for a carnivore! Sweet potato was a bit heavy on the puree. Still gave the place 4 stars... attentive service got 'em from 3 to 4.

    Pancake, eggs over easy, bacon, and hash brown casserole.

    Alright loves let's talk about this new restaurant in town. It been remodeled from the old Jim's it use to be. It not only gives but serves chic diner vibes with an old fashion that will make you stay for a while. It's a clean, modern looking restaurant. The food is def great portion sized for the price. You go in and order at their counter. Then they give you a number and you sit where you like. They do have people bussing around and running food out. So if you have some cash leave a bit on the table for them. They have an open kitchen concept so you can see the chefs in the back cooking up everyone's meal. Might I say they did a fantastic job today during the busy afternoon storm. So beautiful to see their magic in full effect. Chefs have a thankless job. They make it look so easy. Staff was really great. The menu isn't too big but it's enough to tickle your fancy for a whatever you want. Go check this place out.

    Very nice place clean and the service was very good. Employees are very attentive and friendly. Food was fantastic with a variety of menu choices. Ordering at the counter and self serve coffee was a new twist. We enjoyed this establishment.

We asked the mixologist to put his own spin on old fashions and he delivered. I'm addicted to the spicy cinnamon version that he created! The quail pops were a nice little appetizer although they could have used a bit more seasoning. I think the drink and app prices were very reasonable. Service was laid back and friendly. My only reco would be to maybe put a bit more thought into the vintage decor and secret restroom. The restroom lock was hard to figure out, especially after a drink or two lol. Overall this Speakeasy is a great spot to add a bit of intrigue to your evening.

Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned.
