    Wonderful for the whole family
    Adam S.

    Been coming here since childhood, and my family has becoming here since they opened! It always delivers. The wait staff is always wonderful. Service is consistent. And one of the things I love the most is their menu. Their menu is diverse and really has something for everything, without being the size of a Cheesecake Factory dictionary. From fried mushrooms & Tex mex enchiladas, to avocado chicken breast and fried cat fish, there's a little something for everyone.

    To start, upon walking in, I would have left if it wasn't an invite from another person. The smells and the sights were sub level. Smelled old, looked run down, opened in 1954 and let me tell you I believe it! Seems like it started as a house and they just kept adding rooms all of which are now dining rooms . The parking lot is bumpy. The entrance area has a few machine games Expected cheaper prices but they do have several all you can eat dishes Not impressed with the food and although I read the article on the wall that Bob started to be known by his enchiladas... they had to be the worse I've ever had. Rice was hard and cold, corn was from a can, fish was just ok, not much taste to anything. Service was good and they were all efficient though busy However I wouldn't return When you sit and wonder if the health dept has been here .... Not a good sign. Definitely do not take a date here, on the flip side the date would be memorable.

    Receipt of disappointing when I left more food behind then I actually ate

    My server wasn't attentive to my tablet small party of 2. The food I was very excited for was disappointing smaller portion than I expected. Sent foo back to kitchen and honestly it didn't redeem itself. I think the workers set the environment for my meal more so my server was interested in the lady sitting behind me because he father worked then rather than trying to accommodate my husband and myself. I saw a deep lack of communication and customer service. My husband's thoughts when leaving were simply "we won't be coming back" .

    Excellent choice today for dinner with my parents. We have been coming here for years. The largest country fried steak has always been a favorite of ours! Always have left overs to take home. :-) excellent service!

    This place is good and very consistent! I've heard of this place for years but always chose to stay away due to poor reviews. Until one day I decided to give it a shot. I wish I had chosen to try it out a long time ago. I only order one thing and it is the massive Chicken Fried chicken they have. The thing is the size of the plate! Me and my partner drive 20 mins just for it! It's always hot, never dry and did i mention? huge! Now the sides are truly nothing to write home about. I do wish they would put more thought into them though. The mashed potato's are clearly from a box. The green beans lack any flavor and also from a can. The bread that accompanies the plate is super dry and could use a brushing of butter. Service is always great and all of the wait staff seem to truly enjoy their job. Do keep in mind this place isn't the nicest. Decor is outdated and I feel like they're going for an oldtimey vibe. They have old music players at some of the tables which really add to the vibe. Place is a bit boxy and could use a different floor plan. In conclusion the chicken fried chicken is great and customer service is also great! A quick disclaimer the 4 stars can be attributed to their consistency and customer service.

    2pc Fried Fish with Onion Rings!

    Awesome San Antonio Favorite! Our go to on the Southside! This place has been rocking Fish since my parents were young! Stop by and enjoy the Fresh Food!!

    Old fashion jukebox in the middle of the table. High extended walls just in case of a food fight?

    After many years gone by not visiting Bud Jones because of poor service. I decided to stop and reminisce of my high school years eating there at Bud Jones on the weekends. The service was awesome thanks to Rick. I ordered the fish plate. Alaskan pollock Was light battered and was super delicious. I enjoyed the coleslaw, which was fresh and very tasteful. The booths still have a jukebox unfortunately not In service. The restaurant is looks the same from the 1970's.Fish Plate

    I like the food at Bud Jones, especially the Turkey with dressing plate they have usually on Sundays. All their food is delicious.

    A south side tradition. Fried fish, chicken fried steak, and the hamburger are all good choices

    I was looking for a pleasant place to take my mother as she wanted catfish and saw the photos of…read morethe food. When I came up to the place it wasn't a sit down place to eat, but that you have to order which was confusing as there were a lot of other restaurants within the small space. There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I. The space provided because they don't give you anything but what you order no napkin just nothing else. Enjoy and hope the you didn't forget to order anything special or extra as you won't get it.

    Food was excellent. The issue is the location. It's really hard to get anything like SERVICE from…read moreanyone. It's a multi-restaurant location but no one actually works the front desk or door. So you basically have to order your food online and they deliver it to a locker where you pick it up. Very strange. And made it pretty much impossible to get any thing extra like napkins, a fork, or whatever you might need for a meal. Good food... But definitely not recommended if you're looking for something as a sitdown place
