Dirty South
Abran S.

Man this place always hits the spot, just the right amount of food for the price and it hits the spot for sure. The staff are always amazing. I have thankfully never had any issues with them, they make the stay super enjoyable. The interim I'm so glad that they extended the place it's awesome with how much room they have now! If you had went in the past and were nervous with the limited space, it's much more spacious now! I got the chicken sandwich and it was so good! It's a ground chicken patty fried and it's super flavorful. I also got the dirty South this time around and that was as scrumptious as ever! Always excited to return here!

I've lived near The Baked Bird for a long time and I finally took the time to check them out. They normally close at 2pm every day. The interior is nice and bright. The staff was nice and friendly. I got the Amy Swinehouse breakfast sandwich with potatoes as my side. The portions are big. I took half of it home. It was delicious. I also got the Paris hot coffee. I enjoy everything about my meal and I will definitely be back in the near future. It's definitely good value for the money.

Amazing food and service. Anyone I bring here ends up loving it!!!!

Grits super yum!

This place was really good. Wow. Nice location. Plenty of seating. Everyone is super nice. You might find yourself in a line getting in but they put menus out for you to browse while you're waiting and it actually goes kinda quick. And the food. For the chuck norris with scrambled eggs and American cheese(yes they allow substitutions). It came with potatoes and I also got a side of grits. The grits. Came swimming in butter. Which is how I like em. I doubted they got the salt right cause most places don't. These were perfect. Some of the best grits I've had and I grew up on them. No need to add anything. The potatoes were also really good. The sandwich itself was very nice. Next time I'll see if I can get it on a biscuit cause there will be next time. And good sweet tea. I'm glad I stopped here. It has been on my list to try for a minute. Today is Friday but I'm trying to talk some peeps into going back on Sunday lol see yall then!

Baby Green  (without the egg) with grits

What a great brunch/lunch spot! Such a cute place. The staff is super friendly and the food is wonderful! We had the Munchie Cristo and the Baby Green. The portions seemed large to me and I was able to take half my sandwich home for breakfast the next morning. I will definitely come back!!

Basic biscuit sandwich minus bacon.

We were on vacation in San Antonio and wanted some breakfast for takeout. The place was packed so we already knew he had picked a winner. There was plenty of room on the patio, but it was a bright and sunny day in San Antonio, so you know everyone was inside. The food was amazing, I haven't had a homemade southern style breakfast like this in many a year. Everyone loves their food. My burrito was outstanding, great flavors and of course I had to make it dirty with some outstanding gravy. Biscuits were flaky and moist, everything had a great hardiness to it that assured you wouldn't be going hungry. My picky kids loved the sausage. I really wish this restaurant was in Katy, but at least I'll have a breakfast to look forward to the next time I visit San Antonio. I'll be going again on the way back to Katy too.

This is definitely a treat kind of restaurant. It is very good. I like it. Their menu is simple, but big enough to have an option for everyone in your group. You order at the counter and then your food is brought up to you. I had the yolkster with salmon. You do get the option for your protein. It came with the best potatoes ever. I don't know what seasoning they used, but they were delicious. I originally was going use ketchup, but it didn't need it at all. The yolkster is an eggs Benedict. The portion size was big. I will say that the combination of the salmon and all the other ingredients made it a tad bit salty for me, but I still ate it. It was still delicious. For my drink I had a chai latte. It wasn't overly sweet. They do have a water station where you can also find to go boxes which makes it easier to take your food to go. The seating is first come first serve. parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. The staff was very welcoming. The noise level is low

We stoped here this morning after a medical procedure and the food tasted amazing. I loved the purple haze coffee.

Probamos este lugar por primera vez vez y me pació muy rico. Mi plato venía con papas con chorizo, cebolla y chile verde dulce, 2 huevos. Realmente las papas sabrosas, el sabor a chorizo les dio un toque especial, los tamaños de los platos muy adecuados a mi parecer en las fotos de la paguina se ven pequeños tanto que pensé que no me llenaría pero cuando vino la verdad quedé súper atisfecha con la porción porque yo como un poco bastante, ordené un late grande. También tiene pan dulce, lo hornean ahí en el lugar, así que es reciente, el tamaño del lugar es regular no pequeño no grande pero se llena muchísimo la línea es grande o será porque era en sábado pero ve preparado para esperar por favor

Place is a hidden but very nice. Food was freshly made and hot. There was a long line in the morning and it can get packed/crowded in the morning so come with plenty of time to wait to order, find a seat, and your food. Line is well organized and once you reach the register, you can order. The food took about five or so minutes to arrive at our table. Great portion of food that will most likely leave leftovers! Recommended!

We had a great experience at Baked Bird! The breakfast was delicious and everyone found something they loved. We ordered the El Chile Pollo, Baby Green (avocado toast meal), and the Dirty South...all were really good and full of flavor. Note, the El Chile Pollo would've tasted so great with a chicken filet vs ground chicken patty. The Train Wreck coffee was also a standout and definitely worth trying. We couldn't leave without dessert and tried the cinnamon roll and the peanut butter sandwich cookie. Both were the perfect sweet treat. The environment was super friendly and welcoming. My kids absolutely loved all the wall art and had fun looking at everything while we were there. It's a great spot for families and felt right at home.

When they celebrate a birthday just because. Ryan's the GOAT for these candles and the love.

The Baked Bird (TBB) is, hands down, the best breakfast/brunch spot (and arguably one of the best restaurants in San Antonio). You can find it on a busy corner where Babcock and Huebner intersect. The person who designed the parking lot was probably smoking a spliff when they did so because it's just wonky, but that has nothing to do with TBB. Each time we go, Ryan (the manager), Jen (the owner), and their entire staff provide the most intentional, welcoming, and top-notch service. Their space has expanded- I'm sure as a direct response to how popular they are- so there's more seating and assigned tables to make life for the customers and staff easier. We took our adult twins to TBB to celebrate their birthday, and we've decided it will be our family's breakfast celebration spot for the foreseeable future. They have an on-site bakeshop (which you can peer into while you eat at a countertop by the window), churning out scratch-made scones, sweet rolls, and pop-tarts. Our daughter loved and adored their piña colada scone a while back, so she tried out the Earl Grey scone on this visit. The baker is a genius because they topped the tea-flavored scone with what I detected was a honey cream cheese frosting. The genius is creating a pastry that literally tasted like a cuppa Earl Grey tea. Our son and my husband opted for a cinnamon roll. The only thing that would've improved them was a little heat, as they were slightly colder than room temp. TBB has quippy names for each of its menu items, which make ordering a blast. We decided on: -The Dirty South: this dish is everything you'd want in a breakfast plate. The sausage gravy is velvety and full of flavor, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. The biscuit and eggs (I chose scrambled) were fluffy and flavorful as well. -Notorious P.I.G.: my son kept raving about how this sandwich was done right: "Why don't people appreciate bacon AND sausage on a breakfast sammie?!?!" Spoken like a true 21-year-old with good cholesterol. -Pablo Eggscobar: The caramelized onion and chipotle aioli took our daughter's baconeggandcheesesangwich over the top. -Pancake Tray: This is what you want to order if you're a safe-bet maker. You get the best of breakfast ESPECIALLY because their pancakes are the best in the city, IDK, I said what I said! We each ordered a Sancha Horchata (I'm willing to get the shakes to have this injected into my veins), Purple Haze, Token Irishman, and a Train Wreck. ALL of this, with a generous tip, set us back ONLY $106. Well worth it since each of us needed to-go containers. Shout-out to the graphic artist who's done all the art at TBB. They definitely add to the chill atmosphere, so I want to big them up.

Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

Wedding Anniversary Brunch at Box St. All Day…read more Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with brunch at Box St. All Day. After previewing the restaurant the evening before, we knew we had to try the Eggs Benedict with added chicken, chilaquiles with shredded pork, and twice-fried chicken. We arrived shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Thursday and were welcomed by our hostess, who let us choose our seats. Our waiter, Richard, introduced himself and when we mentioned our anniversary, he returned with two complimentary glasses of champagne garnished with gold-flecked raspberries! His genuine congratulations immediately made us feel special. He also shared menu recommendations and helped us choose our drinks: a Moscato for me and a refreshing raspberry drink for my husband. The restaurant's lively atmosphere, soft boho-inspired decor, and beautiful presentation were perfect for a warm fall afternoon. Our food arrived quickly, and everything was delicious. The twice-fried chicken was our favorite, with the chilaquiles a close second! Each dish looked as good as it tasted. Richard truly made the experience memorable. He checked on us regularly without being intrusive and made sure we felt celebrated throughout the meal. We were so impressed that we asked to speak with his supervisor, Spencer, to share our appreciation. Spencer was grateful for the feedback, and it was wonderful to see him helping the team deliver dishes to customers, a reflection of the restaurant's strong leadership and culture. Richard also noticed my military identification when I presented my credit card. Although I had forgotten to ask about the military discount, he took the initiative to verify my eligibility and apply it. As a retired Army veteran, I deeply appreciated the thoughtful gesture. Box St. All Day, you have something special here! The food, atmosphere, and exceptional service made our first wedding anniversary brunch one we will cherish. Thank you to Richard and Spencer for making us feel so appreciated and welcome. We will definitely be returning!

My mom was happy with her Shrimp and Grits, and my husband also enjoyed his Cajun Chilaquiles. Our kids were able to share their kids pancake since it was their pretty big. Our server Mayeli was so helpful and accommodating. I also appreciate that we got to order a side of potatoes without the seasoning for the kids to enjoy while waiting for our food, but to be honest, our food arrived very quickly. My daughter also enjoyed looking at the art around the restaurant. It kept her busy for a while in between coloring her kids menu sheet. Overall another great experience at NOLA, and it's definitely one of our favorite brunch places in the city.

Nearly two years later and I finally, FINALLY got to visit NOLA in person - and boy, what a treat!!…read more My friend and I met up here for our quarterly Millennial Bruch and we were right on the money with this pick. Compared to my previous experience with DoorDash, eating here in person makes a world of difference, ESPECIALLY with the beignets. When they're fresh, they're the most incredible thing in the world, I swear. I ordered the cortado (because my mission is to taste every cortado in the city) and their brunch plate - it had scrambled (seasoned!) eggs, delicious grits, two fried green tomato slices, and the most insanely delicious and decadent praline bacon. I also ordered the beignets. My friend ordered their take on the eggs Benedict and a cup of the smoked duck gumbo. We each got to try a little bit of each other's dishes and I just can't believe how insanely flavorful it all was. I had a little bit of the gumbo get into my eggs and it was divine. The grits were my favorite grits I've ever had. The bacon tasted more like a dessert. The beignets were so soft, so light, so pillowy. DoorDash delivery does them such a disservice. This is a spot you need to experience in person in order to 'get it.' I can't wait to come back. I think we have a winner to add to our regular brunch rotation.

A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
