South Texas Heritage Pork - In the pan with some red onion

My husband and I have purchased two hogs from South Texas Heritage Pork, and have nothing but…read morepositive feedback from the quality of the meat itself to our customer experience. Mark and Kelley love their animals. We've been to the farm multiple times and have seen first hand how the pigs are raised and how well they are treated. They are Animal Welfare Approved, a certification program that audits and certifies farms raising their animals humanely, outdoors on pasture. When we bought our second hog, we were even able to pick it ourselves, under Mark's guidance, and about six months later we received it, all cut up to our specifications. The other point that I'd like to highlight is how helpful Kelley was in dealing with the processor. My husband is very picky, and he wanted everything from snout to tail, along with the skin and of course the organs. Who wouldn't want to eat a liver from a pig that has been raised on pasture, homemade feed and peanuts? He also wanted some special cuts, so he could make his own prosciutto and cure some other special pieces. Kelley has been amazing and made sure that we received everything in the way we specified. And now to the meat. It is absolutely wonderful, hands-down the best pork I've ever eaten. And believe me, I've eaten my fair share of pork. I grew up in Germany with one uncle a farmer and the other a butcher and have eaten our own pork all my life, but even I must admit, South Texas Heritage Pork is even better!

I would LOVE to write a review about the actual products from South Texas Heritage Pork…read more Unfortunately, all I can write about is my customer experience, and here's why. STHP sets up a booth at the Pearl Brewery Farmers Market each Saturday. The first time I stopped by looking for some pork belly, I was told that they sold out and that you have to get there early to get some. However, the lady working gave me a flyer with their contact info and told me that I could e-mail ahead to reserve whatever I wanted. The first time I tried to e-mail to reserve some pork belly, Kelly told me that they wouldn't have any that weekend, but that they should have some the next. I e-mailed back and said that was cool, and asked her to reserve me a pork belly for the next weekend. I e-mailed AGAIN earlier this week because I never heard back, asking to reserve the pork belly a second time. She e-mailed back and said that it wouldn't be a problem. That about brings us up to today. Early(ish) this morning, I dragged my hungover hubby out of bed and rounded up the dogs. We live in the Stone Oak area, so it's quite a drive to downtown.Our only objective was to pick up the pork belly that I had reserved. When I got to the booth, I waited politely behind two people who seemed to want to chat with the woman working about the farm, the pigs, the pictures, et cetera. It felt like I waited for at least ten minutes before the woman working acknowledged me. I explained that I had e-mailed to reserve a pork belly, and she said, "Oops! Oh no, we sold it! And you e-mailed and I confirmed it and everything!" Boyfriend is an easygoing dude. He said, "Well, it happens," and dragged me away to have lunch. HOWEVER. I'm not as easygoing, and I am PISSED. Seriously, the only reason I got up and drove across town with my dogs in tow was to pick up that pork belly. We left the farmers market empty-handed. We stopped at Central Market on the way home and got a pork belly there. Would have been a LOT easier to just go there in the first place, and that's what I'll be doing next time I want to make pork for dinner. The farm sure looks nice, and apparently they treat the animals very humanely (which is the only reason I went with two stars instead of one). But since I wasn't offered any sort of discount or really ANYTHING for the massive inconvenience they put me through, I'll never know if their stuff is good or not, because I will never attempt to do business with them again. My patience is officially exhausted.

On a hot summer's day, this place was the best! Homemade ice cream and sorbetto. Fudge in all kinds…read moreof wonderful flavors and staff willing to give you samples. This place gave me all the feels from an old school ice cream shop. So refreshing compared to modern day places. We went back a couple more times in the few days we stayed in San Antonio! Highly recommend

There are two entrances to Kilwins; the more popular one is along Alamo Plaza and the other is on…read moreLosoya Street. This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

This review is for their coffee/smoothie bar only:…read more Be aware Central Market is under major renovation. Half of the market was closed off, but something new that popped up near the front of the store was a coffee/smoothie bar. We stopped in for a quick to go order of a coffee, pastry, and smoothie. I loved the fact that there is an option to make your own. I was able to choose my base, 2 fruit options, and a veggie. I chose - blueberry, strawberry, (comes with a banana), spinach, and almond milk. Perfect! Healthy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. There's also a gelato bar. Curious to see what's new when renovations are done!

He specifically told me to come back today for veal cutlets, assuring me that if they weren't already out, he would cut them fresh for me. When I arrived, I was told the shipment never came and they didn't have any. Mistakes and shipment delays happen, but what made this truly frustrating was the complete lack of customer service. When I explained that I had just made an 80-mile round trip based on their explicit word, the only response I received was a dismissive "too bad." I expected far better accountability and communication from a store that prides itself on quality and service. Very disappointing experience.
