I'm in town for work and walked here just bc I was hungry and the Halloween decor caught my attention. I did almost walk out when the hostess was rude bc I'm just not a person who reacts well to that, but I was already here and the vibes looked cool. My server was HAROLD and he turned the experience around. He told me the beers on draft and made sure my beer was full when my shrimp scampi came. The scampi was an appetizer, so maybe to most, it's a small portion, but it was perfect for me to feel full and not have leftovers. The sauce and flavor were great and I'm a sloot for bread, and that bread was crispy. It was great to dip in the lil buttery sauce. Great family atmosphere but also looks like a cool bat to just come and chill at if you're on town being a tourist. Shout out Harold fr because I was hungry but almost left. He saved my day. read more

Crockett Tavern - Defender's Margarita - American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

What a cool surprise this place was! I had gone and walked around the Alamo, and was needing a cup of coffee. Tavern and found out they were closed, however, the lady at the bar told me that the coffee shop was open on the other side, so I walked through the lobby and there it was. Super nice place in a historical building, ordered a sugar-free vanilla latte on ice, as it was about 98° outside. So a cool beverage sanded really good. The girl barista was super nice and friendly, and we chatted a little bit while she made my coffee. Went and sat down in the big oversized chairs that they had there and enjoyed the air conditioning and it cooled drink. This is a really great place and I would love to try the tavern next time I'm in town. The bottom line? If you are looking for a great place to grab a quick coffee, or go and have a stiff drink when they're open, Crockett's tavern would be the place to go. Highly recommend it, go check it out! read more

This place was a strong 3.5. The service once they noticed us was very good. It took about 5 minutes before a hostess noticed we were standing there. The waitress was very good and was prompt at serving the meal. It took a reasonable period of time from order to receiving meal. I ordered the chicken fried steak with extra gravy. It came out with no gravy. Waitress was able to secure a large bowl of gravy for the potatoes and chicken fried steak. Favor was ok but had a nice crispy batter. Potatoes were had a nice garlic flavor. Broccoli went untouched...haha. Bar was pretty cool and inside decor was perfect for Texas! I would certainly give it a second chance but I would order a burger they looked really good. read more

We had a great time at the Crockett Tavern! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with friendly staff and the sounds of live music. Our table was located in the middle of all the action. We could listen to the music and watch the game on the big screens around the room. Our server, Hannah greeted us with a big smile and wonderful drink recommendations...The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere were so amazing. This is one of our new favorite date spots. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to spend time downtown in the river walk area. Thanks again to Hannah for starting our night off right. read more

Located a block or so away from the Alamo, inside the Crockett Hotel, you can enter via the hotel entrance or directly into the restaurant through a patio entrance. The 1800s Western decor creates a fun atmosphere both outside and inside. I came solo at lunchtime on a weekday and was immediately seated at a wooden high-top table near the bar. The friendly woman who was bartending took care of me during my meal, providing excellent service...and extra napkins, which I defintely would need. I ordered the Bonham Brisket Grilled Cheese, a sandwich consisting of slow-cooked brisket and mutiple slices of melted cheese between locally made sourdough bread. (side note: Bonham refers to James Butler Bonham, a brave officer and courier who gave his life at the battle of the Alamo) The sandwich was stuffed with super-tender brisket. The brisket wasn't smoked and had mild flavor, overpowered by the cheese. I used a provided side of fantastic barbecue sauce to kick it up (and also to dip my fries in). The bread of the sandwich was nicely grilled and delicious, definitely greasy (as expected!). I enjoyed it and it filled me up. It's a great place to get some food, especially when visiting the Alamo. read more

Every time I am in San Antonio I bring my team here for either lunch or dinner. The food is amazing and the service is always stellar! This year Anthony was great with our team. He checked in on us, bantered and was fun. I always recoiled their Nachos with all the extras. The steaks are also amazing. We did lunch this year and one half the team ordered ribs. The meat fell right off the bone. The restaurant decor is great as well. read more

After a tough day, I came in for some Adult Beverages and a burger. I can't thank Angelica enough for turning a tough day around. She was very attentive and helpful making the end of my day much better than the beginning. Overall a very enjoyable experience and will visit the Crockett Tavern again next time I'm in San Antonio. read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat after visiting the Alamo and we saw a sign for the Crockett Tavern. This restaurant, inside the Crockett Hotel, is just behind the Alamo. We ordered the country fried chicken and the brisket grilled cheese. The chicken fried chicken was so good but the grilled broccoli that came with it might have been better. The brisket grilled cheese was slathered in butter and the brisket was very tender. Based on our entrees we decided to have the peach crisp for dessert. I normally don't like fruity desserts but this was phenomenal! Our server was friendly and engaging even giving us recommendations on other things to see and do. I love the western decor. There was so much fun stuff to look at. read more

*** strong drinks, live music, & an ode to David Crockett *** Fun fact before my review: David Crockett did not like being called Davey, although, he is heavily referenced that way. The Crockett Tavern was a brisk walk away from where were staying at the Menger Hotel. Afterwards we had a walking ghost tour, so I wanted a hearty meal for me and my girls on 5.25.2025. Service from the hostess was a bit standoffish. Like she didn't know what she was doing. I do not like that. Our waiter, the guy who also first greeted us, was a chill guy who checked on us an adequate number of times. We ordered the following: + Alamo Cacti ($13.95) - pretty good. It was strong. Lol. I'd order this again. + David Crockett shot ($4.95) - I ordered this at the end of my meal. It came with a shot glass ($5.99) that I later gave to my brother for taking care of some things while I was gone. Did not like the taste so much, but it was fruity and smooth. + Fried green tomatoes ($12.95) - had a kick from the diced jalapenos on the plate but they were cooked just right. Like other entrees, they stuck a little toothpick with The Gonzales Cannon & "Come & Take It" flag. + Betty's Boraccho Bean & Brisket Soup ($6.95) - this was divine Texas comfort food very similar to how my family creates it. It came with tortilla chips but I prefer cornbread. + Crockett Burger with gouda cheese ($15.95) - both of my girls ordered their own. Thank you for cooking it medium! They loved it. The live music (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday) was good. Sublime. Stone Temple Pilots. Jimi Hendrix. The vibe of the place was cool too. Some Texas cowboy & Alamo history scattered. Flat screens with pro baseball on. The booth seats were comfortable and the food was hot. Easy to find once you enter the main entrance of the Crockett Hotel. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 read more

This place is excellent. Walk three blocks east from the Alamo and you'll find the Crockett Tavern, tucked inside the Crockett Hotel at 320 Bonham Street. The restaurant sits in a building that shares a wall with the Alamo compound--close enough that defenders in 1836 could have thrown rocks at the spot where diners now cut into ribeye's and sip bourbon. We stopped in for an early dinner. The name of this restaurant promises frontier swagger and maybe a plate of enchiladas. What you get instead is something San Antonio rarely offers: food that ignores the Tex-Mex playbook entirely. The chef runs the kitchen like he's cooking in Tennessee, not Texas. The menu reads like a love letter to American comfort food filtered through French technique. We tried the Brisket and Bean Tacos, two Tacos with espresso rubbed brisket, refried beans, charred green tomato salsa, and Cotija cheese. Excellent. We also tried the Bowie Beast Burger, a custom ground patty of elk, bison, wild boar, and Wagyu beef, topped with smoked Gouda cheese, fried onions, and a house Tavern sauce. It was so good that it was enough for me to swear my mostly Vegan diet for the day. We asked the waiter about the fried Cactus pedals. His response? Eh, some like it, some don't. It was delicious with fresh chopped cilantro. Tasty. Try and enjoy! read more

Service was great. The food also was very good. If you're staying in San Antonio I strongly recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner.

Bernardino (Ben) was a wonderful waiter! The Alamo theme, along with a Texas theme and great live music was a winner! We enjoyed our delicious chicken sandwiches and will definitely be returning customers. Thank you! read more

Pretty good spot near the Alamo. Was pleasantly surprised by the hand breaded chicken strips, very crispy and juicy. Fries were good as well. The queso was just okay, the green salsa gave it a weird texture and it wasn't that hot. Service was good and a fun little place. read more

We arrived at the early part of the dinner time, not really sure what we wanted. The decor is all cowboy paraphernalia and it's lively and casual. We decided to order appetizers and then see if we wanted something else later. The server warned us that there were a few large parties and that wait times might get long. We ordered nachos and coffee, and told the server we weren't in a hurry. The only reason they got any stars was because the nachos were so good. They were layered nicely so most of the chips had some toppings on them. After we finished them, we decided to order dessert. We had said we weren't in a hurry but after the food came nobody ever checked in on us. For 45 minutes we looked at our dirty dishes and waited. Finally, we went to the hostess stand and requested our bill. Our server miraculously showed up. When I told him we would have ordered more food but he ghosted us, he didn't even bother to reply. The hostess apologized but we're from out of town so we'll never be back anyway. read more

The place clean, service was fine. No issues. The food, while it wasn't bad, it needed help. Immediate medical attention. I ordered the brisket grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup. 1) the sandwich. Bread was good, good amoutbof properly melted cheese. And a tiny, and i mean tiny slather of chopped brisket. It wasn't an after thought. It wasn't even thought about. Disgraceful. 2) the soup. Shouldn't have been called tomato soup. Should been called almost Luke warm, more tepid than anything tomato paste. I would have been happier if I had gotten mugged on the Riverwalk. At least that would have been exciting. read more

Great atmosphere and really good drinks. We shared a fajita chicken for 2. The staff was helpful and friendly.

I was here in San Antonio from the Texas Panhandle for training. Had stopped to talk to a lady who said that her favorite enchiladas were at Crockett Tavern. We were met by Angie a wonderful waitress very very friendly very cheerful. I was very impressed. They all wore bolos lol. I wear one to work every day. When asking about the enchiladas, they were basically just cheese enchiladas. But Angie was clever enough and nice enough to talk to the cook to go ahead and put ground beef in mine. It was amazing. The price was good. The food was amazing. We did queso and chips very very good. Everything fresh. Within walking distance to the Alamo, which I haven't seen since I was a kid but was very impressed with the area how clean it was. I want to thank all the DPS officers for their patrol in the area and keeping us safe. The restaurant was very friendly. I noticed that several people complimented as they left about the food. Definitely will be back. Thank you again Angie for taking care of me and my friend. God bless. read more

Hannah was amazing and the Beast Burger was equally amazing! I will definitely be back

We stopped in to eat after seeing the Alamo. Service was a little slow after we decided to sit at the bar but we weren't in any rush. I will tell you this, the Bloody Mary she made me was seriously one of the best I've ever tasted! It was absolutely delicious! The decor was interesting but considering we were in Texas, I had no complaints. I'm giving 5 stars because that drink was perfect! I'm a Bloody Mary snob and I make a killer one myself and this did not disappoint! Highly recommend!! read more

Hannah was incredible! Amazing chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak, also happy hour is $4 margs that have some substance. 10/10 definitely becoming a regular! Cant find service like this anywhere else, plus love the aesthetic and ambience. read more

I was here for a work training and found the Crockett Tavern on Yelp. So, we decided to walk from our hotel down to the tavern. The area looked so historic and it was neat to see the Crockett Hotel sign lit up at night. We seated ourselves and when we arrived around 6:45 on a Wednesday evening it was not that busy but as the night progressed it became busier. Our waiter was great with the exception of how long it took to get beers from the bar that was pretty close to our table but, I do think he was waiting on other tables too so I don't hold that against him. He was an enjoy to have, he told us about growing up in Texas, the building itself, the other restaurants affiliated with the restaurant and even the haunted hotel down the street. I do wish he would have told us about buying the souvenir glass first before having already purchased a couple of beers. If you buy the souvenir glass you get half off beers and are able to do the same at some of the Mad Dog restaurants. I must say the food was delicious! The fried green tomatoes were not mushy and the balsamic vinegar was so yummy! I ordered the brisket grilled cheese with side salad and jalapeños. It was so much food, I ended up taking half of it with me. The other person in my party ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. She said all was delicious! All in all, great atmosphere and food! I would have given it a 5 if the service were just a little bit faster when it came to our drinks. read more

I'm assuming this place could be good. But I was never served. Mind you, this was a weekday, during off-season (early March), Thursday at 1:00 PM. I was left waiting at the counter for 5 minutes, before a server told me to sit in the back where I liked. No one came by for another five minutes. When a manager asked if I had been helped, I told her (neutrally) that I had not been given a menu yet. In a slightly defensive tone, she said, "Well that's why I asked," and gave me one. Another 15 minutes, and no one came by. Not even to offer water. So I just got up and left. read more

There was something about the Crockett Tavern that kept drawing us back. It was less hectic than the Menger bar, but more inviting than the bar in the Emily Morgan. (Those are the other two hotels close by.) The drinks were good, and the food was surprisingly better than one might expect for tavern food. My friend was really impressed by the brisket soup. Service was a little bit slow, but the friendliness more than made up for it. There was live music both nights we were there, both men playing country, but it added to the vibe. I liked all the Crockett kitsch around the room. I know he never went there, but I want to believe he did! read more
