    5 stars! This has to be the nicest, cleanest, sweetest diner we've ever visited. Yes, true to the name, it is tiny, but big on great service & delicious food. We had omelets, hash browns, a classic egg breakfast and the BIGGEST pancakes you've ever seen. Everything was so good. I'm glad we passed on the chain restaurants and found Beau's for breakfast. Bonus: super clean bathroom! I imagine many people may never discover Beau's because it's about a mile from the Riverwalk. But it was worth the short drive.

    Cozy tiny diner with big flavor and always friendly attentive service. Sometimes I wish they had more seating but then they would not be a tiny diner. I have enjoyed everything I've tried. Having St Arnold's Root Beer is a big gold star for me.

    This is exactly what I want when I want a salad wrap however I don't know if I want it for $18. The location and interior of the restaurant are extremely cute.

    Breakfast burrito

    Great find near downtown San Antonio for breakfast. The restaurant is cozy yet bright and airy with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is amazing here. The hash browns are very thin shreds of potatoes lightly crisped and not greasy. Eggs are buttery smooth and not cooked a second longer than necessary. Every menu item we've sampled here has been excellent. Service comes across as casual yet professional. This is our new go to for breakfast in SATX. Highly recommended.

    Finally made it to Beau's in Southtown for a late lunch. I have heard good things about it and we were not disappointed. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with beer and wine available. My wife and I had the tuna sandwich and the patty melt. Both were outstanding, and very sizable. We are a little older, and easily could have split a sandwich. Both orders came with their version of French fries which were crinkle cut discs and done absolutely perfectly. The service was attentive and cordial. We can't wait to come back for a breakfast/brunch. We highly recommend trying this place out before everyone discovers it and it gets really busy.

    My dinner at this quaint Southtown eatery was spot on. Beau's specializes in Southern cuisine, prepared simply and with fresh ingredients. The highlight of my visit was the chicken fried steak. The dark, perfectly seasoned breading - which is fried in beef tallow - was delicious. The staff was friendly. We truly felt welcome by Tony and team. Highly recommend... cheers!

    Chicken and waffle
    Suzy H.

    There were four of us, so we got to try several things this morning. The burrito was a hit and I loved the (creamy jalapeño?) sauce on the side, my French omelet and crispy hash browns were mildly over salted but delicious. Chicken and waffle got very good reviews but too small. And the migas also received two thumbs up. They do not skimp on the cheese! The service was friendly and we didn't wait long even though it was getting busy. Love the location and the name! We sat outside and enjoyed some people watching and a nice San Antonio morning.

    What a cute corner diner! The vibes were immaculate and really captured that fun diner energy. They offer a wide array of brunch items from sandwiches to omelettes. The food was delicious as expected. Our orders came out in a timely manner and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. I had an excellent experience overall

    First off, today was beautiful and sitting outside was a total delight. The music *Neil Young and The Doors felt perfect, though later was no match for the place across the street lol* The service was great, really cool, friendly staff. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy. I got the chicken and waffles, really juicy, crunchy chicken that might have stolen the show from the waffle, poor thing was flattened beneath the chicken. The kids got the pancakes and they were truly huge. We should have gotten them one pancake to split vs sharing the one order that comes with two. I don't want to dislike anything because the place is so cute, and the people are so nice and I loved the experience but the pancake wasn't great. I don't think it was fully cooked and was just super dense. I love pancakes, and this one was indeed huge but didn't taste great to me. Other than that when we're back in town we'll be back. I loved this place.

    Tiny water glasses (that were never empty)
    Mitzi M.

    Friendly, cute, delicious. We went on a Saturday night, but early, so it was easy to get a table. I was surprised they gave us such tiny water glasses (about 8 oz) but they constantly refilled them throughout the meal, making me feel really cared for. The staff was very friendly. The manager, Tony, came over and talked to every table: he is just delightful. We ordered meatloaf and the green chicken enchiladas. It was all very good. They serve breakfast all day here. Seinfeld was streaming on the one TV. There are limited tables, but you also have the option of sitting at a bar overlooking South Alamo, or one that watches the kitchen.

    Super small venue, but well taken care of with a super friendly staff. I was very impressed with their menu and the quality of the food. The pricing is a bit high, but in the area, it is on par. Try the oatmeal for a stick to your bones breakfast option.

    This restaurant is truly a tiny gem. They have a wonderful breakfast menu. My friend and I got the chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and one pancake, all of which were delicious. I will say this is truly a tiny diner so on the weekends, you may have a bit of a wait. Also, it will be difficult to accommodate parties larger than four. I would say that this is a great place for one to two people to come for breakfast. They are opening their airstream trailer for the summer to serve coffee and juices out of which will be fun. Also, there is a TV behind the counter playing Seinfeld. It's great

    Okay so we accidentally ended up at Beau's Tiny Diner after our original brunch spot ghosted us (their hours were fictional). But fate said "nah, you're going to Beau's," and now I'm obsessed. This place is adorable -- but don't let the size fool you. The flavor? Classic. The energy? Vibrant. The humans? Lovable. We got lucky and sat right away, but everyone who came in after us had to wait. (Pro tip: arrive hungry and early, or be ready to romanticize standing outside for a bit.) The manager Tony came over and chatted like we were regulars. This man is hospitality personified. He didn't even know that we were in our brunch flop era, and asked if we lived close... He literally gave us the most genuine appreciation and thanked us for making the trip. He SAW us. Like?? Sir?? I would fight for you now and forever. Tony also hit us with some elite menu recs. My fiancé ordered the breakfast with a pork chop (based on the rec) and cleaned his plate like it was his job. I got a biscuit breakfast sandwich because Tony said we could do whatever subs we wanted on the menu. Love the flexibility. Shout out to the seasoned hashbrowns. So nice that they were actually flavored. Almost too salty, but after the bland potato trauma of other diners, I respect it. Also after I requested milk with my coffee, our server brought me more with every refill WITHOUT asking. If that's not love, idk what is. Yes, the kitchen forgot my bacon and the aioli, but they fixed it. The space is teeny-tiny and the whole team was moving like a brunch ballet back there, so I get it. They're clearly in their opening stretch, still finding their rhythm -- but the vibe, the kindness, and the people make it so worth it. If you're looking for a TikTok-worthy spot with soul, Beau's is that girl. It's giving diner-core with Jewish roots. It's giving "we actually care if you're having a good day." It's giving me another reason to come back.

Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

Light dish. Tc double cheese burger: very strong flavors, somewhat sweet. Dense/heavy dish . Our waiter was quick and friendly. The restaurant lighting was dimmed and gave a more intimate /bar environment. I think the ac was broken here because it was very warm and they had fans going on around the room. I think this place would be good for someone who is prefers an American fusion cuisine that leans heavily on the western style dishes. The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.

When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.
