Walked in- the place was empty. We were trying to decided if we should just go to Parry's. We got there in between lunch and dinner but the customer service was non existent too. There were a number of tables that needed bussing but the kids behind the counter weren't making any effort. We ordered their main burger- The Big Juicy.  The burger was pretty pricey for being alone, not a combo. 2 of us got combos- which was another $5. We got sides and drinks. Tots and rings. Both sides were good. Tots were nice and crispy and fresh. The onion rings were big and crispy. You got a decent amount of both. We were shocked my the size of the fried mushrooms- which is the main reason my wife wanted to come here. She had heard it was prob the best in the city. See the pic below for the incredible size. I don't know where they found mushrooms this size. Now back to the burgers. They were fine. But again, not really worth the size.  We prob won't be back except my wife did say if she was in the area she might grab some mushrooms on to go.   Extra info: Any extra sauces costs extra. Except for mayo/ mustard and ketchup. Also- they do not offer a military discount.

We kind of worried when we walked in and there was no customers. Large seating areas but no one. The staff didn't seem to thrilled we came in either. I would not have called them friendly. You order at the counter. They call your number / name out. We ordered 2 burgers- the big juicy. A side of Fried mushrooms. 2 burgers we got as a combo with onion rings for one and tots for the other. Let me tell u, the sides were the stars of this meal. The burger was fine, nothing wrong but also nothing stood out. Def not worth the price. The friend mushrooms stood out to me most , then the onion rings. The sizes of both were big but the mushrooms were unreal. (See pic below). Def will be back cuz those were def worth their price. Sadly, I think that will the only reason I'd be back tho. My family agreed that they were now wowed enough to come back for a full meal. What we did not like was everything was extra. Like each sauce is extra- the mushrooms came with two ranch sauces- and even jalapeños were extra. And upon tasting that ranch was def not homemade or special enough for me to pay for more. Disappointing-this was one of the few places we have come upon since moving here in July that does not give a military discount. We just had the longest government shutdown ever. Every lil bit counts, guys.

Fried Mushrooms
Walter B.

Great price and fast service and those mushrooms ‍. Size of a biscuit and perfectly cooked.

Dry burger sucks home of the big juicy yeah right
Mike R.

The burger was like cardboard no flavor was one of my favorite but I should have went to McDonald's just terrible for around 36 bucks for two people that's ridiculous what are the quality food? We got not good.

Chicken Fried Steak Sweet Iced Tea
Rebecca B.

The chicken fried steak is so delicious I order it every time we come here It is so tender that you don't really need a knife to cut it I like that they have everything accessible to you as far as drinks, tableware, and to go containers

Longhorn Nachis
Brian B.

From the Triple Decker to the Big Juicy to a damn good plate of Longhorn Nachos. This place has got it going on! Indoor and Outdoor seating, Fresh prepped food and a few TVs with cold beer on the way in.... Cant go wrong here. Lovin every meal I've had and plan on coming back as my local go to! Thanx Longhorn Cafe for another wonderful meal!

Onion Rings
Mari A.

Great food and service. Ambiance is relaxed, and very large dining area. Great prices for savory food. Cheeseburger was my favorite item on the menu.

Friend pickles
Karla C.

Wasn't the biggest fan of this place, I would recommend it for those who prefer quantity over quality. You wait in line to order food and they call up your order. It kind of feels like a fast food joint versus a restaurant. The prices are higher than going to in-in-out and the portions are bigger but I didn't care for the quality or taste of the food. Good place if you have a large crowd and want to make sure everyone pays for themselves. Place was pretty packed on a Friday night.

It's been a while since we had been to Longhorn Cafe and boy am I am glad we came back to visit! I ordered a chicken fried steak with okra and mashed potatoes. The chicken fried steak so so good! It came out fresh and hot. The outside batter was crispy but the steak was perfect! The mashed potatoes lacked a bit seasoning but over all good. The fried okra was crispy and oh so good! The service was pretty fast and the tables/chairs were clean. Everyone was happy with their food :) burgers and the fried fish they definitely mastered! Would I recommend this place? Yes! :) you get a great bite of food and the pricing is on point along with quantity of food.

Double Meat Double Cheese & Tots
Jc G.

I've been visiting Longhorn Cafe for over 10 years now. It is my go to spot for a old fashioned hamburger. It doesn't matter which location you go to, the food is always consistent and fresh..made to order. I always get the double meat double cheese big juicy! Hands down my favorite burger in the SA area! I'm sure others will argue that there are better spots but this place does it for me.

Rag in the basket before I saw him put MY burger in it
Chris M.

I watched them prepare my food. Putting it in a basket after throwing a rag in it. I transfered it to a paper towel. I was very hungry but didn't eat the bun. The rag was used multiple times to clean the counter. A water bottle setting there too. The boss needs to give them a break room for this. Very disappointed because we love this place.

The horn, bacon cheeseburger, guacamole burger, salad and fried pickles.
Tony B.

Good but a Grease pit. If you eat here, 1. wear fat pants and 2. be ready to take cleanser pills when you get home to flush your body. Lots of fried foods: burgers, chicken, tater tots, okra, mushrooms, pickles, onions, fries, sweet potato fries. Their niche is customizable burgers - lots of optional add-ons too many to list here. And self-serve sauces like A-1, Louisiana hot sauce, malt vinegar, and others I'm forgetting. I had "the horn" but I should've got the "big juicy" because it had some vegetables on it. That's my takeaway - I just wanted vegetables after eating here because it was a heavy meal for all of us. They do have salads so maybe next time, I'd get that. Right now, I just want to fall into a food coma and let this digest. Oof. I'd eat here again but I'd be more selective about my order. Other stuff that may matter: ample seating, decent selection of mass produced domestic beer, interesting neck and hand tattoos on the very polite clerk, TVs but no audio, and lots of windows with an awesome view of 1604 and the western sun. I did notice more than 1 printed sign telling parents to "mind their children" and "don't let them climb" on stuff. It really makes you wonder how many bad parents have visited here in the past or what the heck happened to cause them to post them. My imagination runs wild with naught children misbehaving in public. Maybe they hate babies. Just kidding owners! Lastly, I saw a sign showing doordash delivers from this place. You know, that might be the play. Order in advance for pick up and eat your gut bombshell at home where no pants are required.

Kids grilled cheese
Marcella Z.

This is my go to for all things fried! I've been coming to this location since it opened and the service has always been fast and friendly. The laid back atmosphere is great for group lunches too. On this particular visit I had the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and my daughter had a grilled cheese with fries. My meal was delicious! My burger was cooked to a good temperature and the bun was perfectly toasted. The onion rings are always a hit as well. I highly recommend this location for your next eat out location.

I was minding my own business this afternoon and suddenly had a craving for a good New Jersey style…read moreItalian hoagie. To be more exact, I wanted an Italian hoagie from Joe's pizzeria and sub shop in Somers Point, New Jersey. To get even more specific I wanted it to be from the 1960s, when I actually lived there. I'm not even sure if Joe's still exists. Unfortunately, I have never found a hoagie in San Antonio that measures up to those in my memory. I went to Jersey Mike's when it first opened many years ago, but but I was not impressed. I felt like I was eating a tossed Italian salad on white bread. Today, all these years later, I took a chance on Jersey Mike's again. This time, to avoid the salad issue, I asked for the lettuce to be left off completely. That made a very big difference. The flavors that I wanted to taste were coming through. I think next time I need to ask for extra onions and more oregano, but it was on the right track. The only thing I didn't like about it today was the bread. I don't even know how to tell you what was wrong with it. It just wasn't Somers Point, New Jersey style hoagie bread. It was too soft, didn't have the right chew, and had a taste to it that just wasn't right. Even though it may not have been exactly what I wanted, it was the best version I've had in San Antonio. I will definitely order from there again.

Jersey Mikes is always a good choice with tons of options. My visit today was wonderful the staff…read moreprovided great customer service from the initial greeting to making our sandwiches with attention to details. Super friendly-Highly recommend!

Porky J's BBQ - Rib plate with mac and cheese and baked beans

I wanted to try out some Texas BBQ while I was visiting some family as a Californian. It's the one…read morething I wanted to try before heading back so I ordered quite a few things: the rib plate with mac and cheese and baked beans, a jalapeno pepper sausage, a "chosen" sandwich (which I believe was rib meat + sausage), and a side of potato salad. I really enjoyed the ribs and the sausage. Both were very smoky and fresh (despite coming in closer to closing time) and the ribs had a hint of sweetness. I think that's the Memphis style BBQ poking through. I thought the sides were just okay. The baked beans were a little too sweet for my taste, the mac and cheese wasn't cheesy enough, and the potato salad was fine. I'm giving this place four stars because what I came here, the meats, were really well seasoned and the staff was very friendly. They even gave my cousin an additional side for free. One final thing, it's a little unassuming as it lives right next to a gas station but the inside is still a decent size with seating.

She had a sliced brisket sandwich. The food was all very good. They use huge chicken pieces.The servings were very large for everything. The people running the restaurant were very friendly. They wore T-shirts with the logo on the front that said on the back that it was Memphis style. This location has been several different kinds of restaurant over the years. Porky J's has totally redone the interior. It is really nice and comfortable. I am happy that we now have a really close barbecue place next to us. I'll be back!
