    Blueberry Berrylicious (blueberry) Pancakes
    Samantha A.

    I wish it tasted as good as it looked. I got the "Big Ol' French Toast Breakfast", and upgraded my French toast to the "Peach Cobbler French Toast". The hashbrowns were bad. The ham slice was greasy. The eggs were fine. The Peach Cobbler French toast was soggy.. there was just too much on top of it, it absorbed all of the moisture? It was visually pretty, but lacked flavor and was all one texture, mush. The Blueberry Pancakes were underwhelming. The pancakes taste like they need vanilla extract, maybe it's about personal preference, but I like my pancakes more sweet.. syrup didn't help, I'm not sure why. The hot chocolate was good! And I think they make their own whipped cream, we all enjoyed it. The restaurant itself is cute. While our waitress was friendly, the other staff seemed a bit dismissive. This isn't the worst place I've been to, but would I come back? No.

    I've been seeing Bobbie's Southern Kitchen for a couple of weeks, and decided to finally try it out. This is a spot that replaced the old magnolia pancake house. We waited about about 25 minutes before getting seated. This place is very clean, open with a lot of light. Service was very good. Our waitress was very attentive without being intrusive and quick. The food was pretty good. I ordered the traditional breakfast which comes with a side and bread of your choice. I had refried beans and a biscuit. The food was good. And the price for this meal was pretty reasonable. My friend ordered the grilled biscuits, which she shared with me. They do charge an additional $.99 for grilling them. I enjoyed their food, atmosphere and service. I have every intention of coming back to Bobbie's Southern Kitchen, and trying some of their other southern food.

    Stopped in for a working lunch this week. The service was super nice and we were seated immediately. The coffee was a little weak but a good flavor. The lunch plates are enormous. I had the Lone Star Patty Melt ... two patties, onions, lots of cheese, spicy mayo .. it was a mess but it was sooo good. I liked the dirty fries but I felt the mix of flavors could have been titled a little more towards the spicy sauce.

    We decided to eat breakfast here yesterday and we have had some great service and time before. I put our name on the waitlist online which is a wonderful tool to use and we had a few people ahead of us. It was a table of five and it was placed around 8:23. We were meeting at 8:30. We arrive a few minutes before the rest of our party and check in with the hostess, it's understandable in a busy restaurant that you have to wait for your party before you are sat. This place was not busy at 8:30 this morning. Not an issue just annoying. We are sat at a table that was dirty. It had multiple "leftovers" from the previous table. Hash browns, and something that was burned and left on the table. I asked for a napkin to clean off the table because the hostesss didn't see it. After we are sat we received prompt service from the waiter, quickly we got our drinks in, just waters for the table while we checked out the menu. When he came back with our drinks we decided to order. He was through putting in our order asking the right questions that we didn't answer ourselves while ordering. What type of bread did we want? How do we want our eggs. We talked amongst ourselves and the food was delivered, my hash was delicious just the eggs weren't over medium but more over easy, very liquid yolks. The waiter again was quick and asked if we needed anything else, we asked for ketchup and salsa, he very knowledgeably brought out butter with our food. Extras delivered, the food was tasty. And we enjoyed it. The issue was no refills on drinks, and he was sat with a large table which left him inattentive to his other tables. Not an issue, just an observation. Someone came and took some plates and asked if we needed anything we got some boxes for to go and paid up. Wasn't what we were used to, so it left a sore spot for us. Nothing that will keep us from ever coming again but something that will make us think before going back.

    I'm writing this review after two visits. The first visit was on a Sunday around 1030 and the wait wasn't out of the normal for that time of day but the food did take a while to get to us and it was just a small table of three. All the food was warm and delicious so we decided let's return the following week. We checked in with two people in front of me and then we waited....and waited....and waited....finally I went up to the host stand and was told (after telling them my link they text me says we are already seated) that the system "is lying" and don't listen to that and I'll be called shortly so we kept waiting and waiting then I went back up to the host stand and they said i had 7-8 people in front of me. I then figured out the host sat another table under my name and I was told "sorry" then a blank stare and nothing else to rectify the mistake...I was already having a crappy morning so we just left and went to ihop. The foods good but just make sure you give them a unique name so your table doesn't get snagged I guess.

    The pancakes were tough, the hash browns were undercooked had to send back my friends food because they got the order wrong, she didn't get her fruit and the bacon was like leather The ice coffee was good, the waitress was amazing and it was a cute restaurant, clean and well kept I wanted to like it also because Bobbie is my first name but very disappointed

    Looked on Yelp for waffle options near me. And Bobbie's was listed amidst a couple of other options. I decided to go in and pick up a couple of orders first my husband and I. Once I got home and opened the bag,y husband and I were pleasantly surprised at all the food that came with waffle, eggs & bacon plate. I substituted sausage for bacon and we ordered sliced tomatoes as. Side & grits with cheese. The food was Amazing! The only downside was it was not very warm at all which was a wee bit disappointing seeing as you want to eat once you get it home not re-warm (we live 5 minutes away) waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage & grits in 4 different sessions in a microwave. But once re-warmed it was pretty darn Fabulous! Note: This is Treat if you watch your calories... save them only for this meal!!! I'm Happy I did and do not Regret it! Unfortunately planned on taking photos of our food but forgot once we realized we had to warm it all up again. Plates are PLENTIFUL so order accordingly!

    Don't pass up your opportunity on this restaurant. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our server did an excellent job on staying on top of things and I feel like this day and age that's rare to find. We had our five-month-old baby with us and they accommodated our seating very well so that we fit comfortably within a spot without having to feel crammed. It just overall was a nice experience and will definitely be back. For our family of three our bill came out to about 50$ with two coffees for our drinks. Also side note they don't have a kids menu.

    Clucker

    Came on a Friday for lunch on a holiday. The wait time was about 40 minutes and I joined the online waitlist. I noticed my name kept popping off and when I went to check-in, I was told that their system drops people due to inactivity but if I come in, they will accommodate my group quickly. Therefore, the total wait for a 11:30am table was about 45-50 min. We were seated quickly and had our order taken with friendly customer service. They did not rush us even though we took some time to finalize our order. The waitress was very friendly as was the person delivering our food. They came by at least 4 times to refill coffee and check on us. The food was delicious with excellent portion sizes and cooked to perfection. The clucker I ate was perfectly soft biscuits, excellent egg made exactly as asked and with the right temperature and presentation. I was extremely impressed with the food. The prices are between $10-20 depending on your order. The average is about $15. They take your bill at the table and also can split it easily using their electronic device. I felt well taken care of and enjoyed the place immensely. As some of you may know, this restaurant location used to be another breakfast place. I think the food is the same and perhaps even better now with a strong southern hospitality and menu.

    Chicken Fried Steak - the small. I also had Texas toast as a side. It was all great.

    We were really excited to try this place. It did not disappoint at all. They were busy but efficient. And our food arrived hot and great tasting. We will be back.

    A group of us ladies from Community Bible Church planned to meet for brunch today. Thankfully, Ana F. set aside the conference room @bobbiessouthernkitchen for us. There were 9 of us and had plenty of room. The room could probably fit 15 people. You can reserve the room for $100 for 2 hours. This was the first visit for most of the ladies. I had The Texas Omelette, which has sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and topped with sliced avocado. It came with a side (I chose hash brown) and bread (I chose toast). Letty M. had the Farm House Breakfast with 3 eggs, bacon, hash brown, and blueberry pancake. Letty F. had the Brisket Chilaquiles. Joanne and Debbie had the Buttery Belle (Biscuit Sandwich). All the food was delicious as expected. Kelly did a great job with caring for our large group. She even had a section in the main area so she was busy. I haven't visited for the dinner service yet but I imagine it would be fantastic as well. If you haven't checked them out, stop by soon. You can join the waitlist through Google Maps.

    Bourbon glazed meatloaf served over mashed potatos and sprinkled with crispy onions
    Renee M.

    First time for dinner at Bobbie's. Outstanding food, friendly and efficient service, and casual ambience as usual. We started with potato bombs - delightful loaded mashed potatoes in a lightly breaded crust. We enjoyed ours with blue cheese dressing. I had the fried chicken dinner and it was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. My husband had the bourbon-glazed meatloaf, he gave it 2 thumbs up. The mashed potatoes are real and the cream gravy is just like grandma's. The side salad had fresh field greens and tomatoes. Josh took care of us and kept us updated and our tea glasses filled. The on-duty manager checked on us twice and I watched him help deliver meals and clear tables. I can confirm dinner at Bobbie's is every bit as terrific as breakfast and brunch have been for years.

    The Widowmaker
    Jim B.

    Last week, I attended a party at a local restaurant where one of the Hors d'oeuvres was a mini portion of chicken and waffles. I had never tried that before. Infact, the thought of it kind of repulsed me. Then, I tasted it and was blown away! Last night, my wife selected Bobby's Southern Kitchen as the place where she, our son, and I would go for lunch today to celebrate her birthday. I was thrilled to see chicken and waffles on the menu. I knew that would be my choice and skipped breakfast to feel a little less guilty about indulging in such a decadent lunch. Decadence could have been the theme for our food selections. As planned, I ordered the chicken and waffles. That was described as "Two Liege Belgian pearl sugar waffles topped with two fried chicken tenders." I asked for country gravy and syrup on the side. Even though the waffles had liege sugar balls baked in, I wanted the sogginess of syrup. Let me tell you it was amazing. I really loved the crispiness that the sugar gave. All the flavors mixed together were wonderful. I only ate one of the waffles and brought the rest home for supper, which was equally amazing warmed up in the microwave. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak. My first impression was that it was humongous. Of course I know that you can pound a tiny chunk of meat to get it that big. But, the meat still has to taste good and be cooked right. She liked it and said it was delicious. I will add that the gravy that they gave both of us was fantastic. Just the right thickness and pepper. Our son ordered the Widowmaker. It is two hamburger patties sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches! I told him he better hope it was on Texas toast, or it would be six inches high. Damned it it wasn't on Texas toast. It looked amazing, as you can tell by looking at the photos. This restaurant was very pleasant. Our server, Ms. Dee M., was one of those dream servers. Super knowledgeable about the menu and nice enough to be your mom. She made us feel so welcome that I felt I was over to her house for dinner. That plus the great food made this a terrific dining experience. We have to go back. The menu is phenomenal. It will take me years to work through the things that were calling my name!

    Do they do reservations?

    Online only

    Is the chicken and dumplings soup served on a specific day of the week or is available daily?

    Is this place still open? The phone number just goes to a fax

    It is still open. The phone line acts quirky from time to time. It is worth the wait. Great family style dining; you go back in time when you eat here.

The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread.

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

She asked for medium cooked pork chops and one pork chop was medium and one pork chop was over cooked. She notified the cashier and he stated they both were cooked at temp the same time. The collard greens were spicy and the Mac & cheese were watered down. I had to go to the restroom. This was the worst restroom in any restaurant I have ever used. First, there was no light on, I had to ask for light and one of the employees turned on the light. Secondly, there was an awful hole in the top right corner ceiling, I was afraid to use the restroom for fear of some bug crawling in through the ceiling hole. Third, there was also a hole in the wall visible behind the toilet tank top, again I was afraid to set down on the toilet and the whole bathroom decor was unappealing. When other patrons described this establishment as as "HOLE IN THE WALL" they were absolutely correct. Don't forget about the hole in the ceiling! Entering into the building, the walls and ceiling were black, making the atmosphere sad. There was also a small bar to the left of the dining area. But the kicker for me was, our two meals, two beverages, and two desserts cost $61!!! As many Soul Food Restaurant I have eaten in with my daughter for two people, I have never been charged so much for two soulfood meals with two beverages and two desserts. RECOMMEDATION: Of course my palate is different from other customers, but I would never return to the establishment due to being over charged for two meals, two beverages, two desserts and the lady's restroom was the pits.

    Great BBQ Before or After Sightseeing…read more Smoke Shack has become one of our go to spots whenever we have guests visiting. It is the perfect stop after showing friends and family the Alamo and the River Walk before heading back home. Just be prepared for a line because every time we have gone, there is usually one. It moves, but it is definitely part of the experience. Our go to items are always the lip smacking brisket. We order a pound of regular and a quarter pound of lean. Both are tender and flavorful. The ribs and sausage are also solid choices. For sides, we rotate between the well seasoned green beans, mac and cheese, beans and okra. All of them are excellent and you really cannot go wrong. Side note. I am not a fan of their corn. I prefer corn that leans sweet rather than spicy, so it is not my favorite. Next time I go, I already know what I want to try. Either the Brisket Sandy or the Brisket Grilled Cheese. Both look incredible. Smoke Shack is always a reliable stop for good Texas BBQ and a great place to bring visitors for an authentic taste of San Antonio.

    Food: Brisket, fried okra, Mac and Cheese filled with…read morebrisket, and ribs . EVERYTHING I just mentioned was fresh, delicious, and ON POINT and I had enough food left over for dinner and a little leftover for the next day. I definitely got my money's worth. I went there after reading the reviews and having a taste for barbecue chicken. Unfortunately, there was no barbecue chicken or anything I planned to purchase while checking out the menu at the airport. However, I have no regrets and I will be back when I'm in the area. Service: I called while at the airport to make sure they had chicken and I was told yes. I immediately headed straight to the restaurant from the airport. It was my first visit to this restaurant and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the service. I wasn't immediately acknowledged. They ran out of everything I planned to purchase between the time I called and drove to the restaurant from the airport (short ride). The area where the condiments are stored was not as clean or organized as it should have been for a restaurant. There seemed to be enough staff to take care of it while I was there. Staff I came in contact with were nice and acknowledged with a smile when I was at my table. There is an area before arriving to the restroom that was not as clean as it should have been. The garbage can was running over with trash. Atmosphere: Loud, joyful, and family friendly environment. I met a family who were looking for a place to sit. I invited them to sit with me and it was great! I will be back the next time I am in the San Antonio area. I'm thinking positively . If you're in the area, check them out and give them a try. I did and I don't regret it. My next visit will be better.
