    Kurobuta Pork Burger
    Melinda N.

    Ordered the Kurobuta pork burger which was tasty. The blueberry jam was interesting. Service was great. I liked that you can pay separately. Ambiance is what you would expect in a sports bar

    Lobster garlic noodles were the best! Worth the price. Service was great and we went for lunch during the week so it wasn't too busy!

    Wasn't hungry, but those shortage Shiitake Garlic Noodles are hitting right

    Came here after checking out the Riverwalk cruise which launches from below because it was kinda late and the restaurants were closed and my niece what starving. We came in and they were able to seat us easily. I got chicken wings and she got noodles. Nothing was stellar, but it was fine. I feel like this place is more fun with your friends than your teenage niece, because everyone else, from groups of businessmen to fiend groups seemed to be having a blast, while the two of us were just staring at each other. I've been to a Yard House before and if you've been to one, you've b even to them all and you. Know the decor is clean, dark, and fancy. Corporate clean is how I'd describe it.

    I normally don't visit chains while travelling, but I was pretty impressed with this Yard House location. The portions were great, the food was great and the service was also on point for our large group. They had a lavender cocktail that was also pretty good.

    Stopping here to eat!

    We were in town for Foursquare Connect 2026 and ended up eating here twice. The first visit was for dinner, and I ordered the burger. It was really good--juicy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The only downside was that it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and we were seated right next to the bar during a Spurs game. Let's just say my wife and I learned to communicate through lip reading and interpretive gestures because we couldn't hear each other over the crowd! Our second visit was for lunch, and my wife and I split a sandwich, which was also very good. What really stood out this time was our server. She was outstanding--friendly, attentive, cheerful, and on top of everything we needed. Great service always makes a meal even better, and she absolutely delivered. Overall, we had a good experience both times. The food was solid, the service on our second visit was excellent, and we'd definitely come back. Just one suggestion: if it's game day and you're hoping for a quiet conversation, ask to sit away from the bar...unless, of course, you enjoy shouting sweet nothings across the table!

    I came to San Antonio for a conference and stayed at a hotel conveniently located next to the Yard House, which is why I decided to have dinner there on my first night. It was very convenient after a long travel day. Since it was a Saturday night, the restaurant was quite crowded. As I was dining alone, I opted to sit at the bar to avoid the wait and I'm glad I did. My meal was excellent; the salmon was especially delicious and cooked perfectly. The bar attendant was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel very welcoming. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by this location. The LA franchises could definitely learn from the level of service and hospitality here.

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles

    visited the Yard House last month during March Madness. It was located across the street from my hotel so that a huge plus. I did not want to have to deal with an uber. The Riverwalk was to packed with tourists. I sat at the bar as i wanted to watch March Madness. The guests I was seated next to were nice enough to let me change the channel to see basketball game I wanted to see so that was a plus. The music playing was great upbeat classic rock. The entrance to the restaurant is one floor up from the street on Commerce. Maddy was very pleasant and provided service with a smile. She was very attentive to all customers. I ordered the garlic shiitake noodles and crispy Brussels sprouts along with a tall double captain and Coke Zero. Everything was great. Before a concert I wanted something that wouldn't mess with my sensitive stomach. I enjoyed my experience so much that I returned the following day and ordered the exact same thing. Enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

    Stopped by Yard House and had a really solid experience. They have a long list of vegetarian options. The Gardein menu can be found online or ask waiters and they have it on their device. I tried the Gardein Orange Chicken along with their pretzel, and both were seriously good. The orange chicken had great flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and kick, and the pretzel was warm, soft, and perfect for sharing. Service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively, and everything came out just right. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    The drink... dragon fruit margarita
    Katresea S.

    Service was decent.We wait at hostess area for a while and the place was not crowded , food was horrible. The fries cold , and fish tacos not fresh at all. The drink was good . The ambiance was not impressive and we were seated at a table with broken bottom floor . If you are not careful you will slip and fall.

    Stopped by while in town visiting and met up with my wife's cousins at yard house for a quick bite. It was pretty packed but was able to get a table for all of us. I ordered the chicken tacos and rice and beans which was pretty good and filling. I also had an IPA flight that was pretty darn good. The service was fast given the amount of people we had in our group and the restaurant was packed also. I'll come back the next time I'm in town.

    chicken-avocade sandwich and fries

    Tired and hungry, we decided to have dinner across the street from our hotel at YardHouse at the Shops at Rivercenter. I hadn't been to a YardHouse for years and wasn't expecting much, so I ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was a weekday evening and we were immediately seated even though, to my eye, it seemed pretty busy. Our waiter was amiable and semi-attentive (meaning right when we would start to think "where is he?" he'd suddenly appear). I ordered a chicken-avocado sandwich and my wife ordered the Two Pepper Jack Burger. I got regular fries with my order and she upgraded to sweet potato fries. Her burger consisted of a thick beefy patty, roasted jalapeño & poblano peppers, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle ranch. My sandwich consisted of a hunk of grilled chicken with a cumin & chili rub, avocado, Swiss cheese, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and lemon-basil aioli on a toasted brioche bun. We decided to cut our sandwiches in half and share. The chicken sandwich was exceptional. The flavors burst in my mouth. One of the better chicken sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure to consume. The burger was also excellent, thick, tender, and juicy. While she thought the heat was minimal it made my eyes water...but I can barely handle even a tiny bit of heat. Still, I thought it was undeniably delicious. Our fries were also great, as was the sweet tea I ordered. As mentioned, I left with a smile on my face and a very happy tummy.

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    Kirra A.

    Yard House has the BEST happy hour. Monday-Friday 3-6PM all the appetizers are half off and this is such a great deal. All of their appetizers are so good, I love getting the lettuce wraps but we got a variety of apps for the table and we shared all of them. They also offer half off pizzas during their happy hour as well. Definitely come check out their happy hour if you're looking for some delicious food that isn't expensive!

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles
    Nancy M.

    One of our go-to dinner spots downtown! We love that we usually don't have to wait long for a table, which is always a plus. The drinks are consistently ice cold, and the cocktails definitely pack a punch. The garlic noodles are an absolute must every time--we never skip them. My husband always gravitates toward the fish and chips, which never disappoints. On this visit, I decided to try the calamari and... yum! Definitely adding that to my list of favorites. Always a solid choice for a great, reliable dinner downtown.

    Do you do reserved areas for parties of 50-75?

    I'm not sure for parties that large but, they do have an area that may accommodate you. I would just give them a call. The customer service was great!

    I'm still trying to find a place that my 22 mo son can eat at. We're vegetarian, no alliums (onion and garlic family), no peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, eggs, avocado and kiwi. Can he eat anything here that isn't plain rice or a piece of lettuce?

    Do you take reservations?

    Hey Janet! We don't take reservations. You can always call to see if we have our wait list available. Here's the number: (210) 354-3844

    What time do they stop serving food?

    Hey Lily! Sunday - Thursday our food last call is 12:30AM. Friday and Saturday it is 1AM.

    What is the parking situation? Parking lot? Parking garage? Is it in a mall?

    It's right outsize the big shopping center. Free parking is probably a no go but there is a parking garage next door. Although, it is right by the river walk, so park anywhere close by and enjoy the scene

    How late do they serve food?

    12:30 AM weekdays and 1 AM weekends

It was clear we were in the right spot. The curtains were drawn when we arrived, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Then, after the sun set over the Bexar County Courthouse, the curtains were opened and we were treated to a beautiful view of the River Walk. The timing couldn't have been more perfect -- it completely elevated the evening. Service was outstanding. Toryn was our server, and his approach was relaxed, friendly, and professional. He checked in periodically without ever being intrusive, and our water glasses were refilled constantly without us having to ask. The entire front-of-house team worked seamlessly together and made us feel genuinely taken care of. We also were given a lovely bread service. And the food -- absolutely delicious. The starters were phenomenal and set the tone for the meal. The meats were cooked perfectly -- flavorful, tender, and beautifully executed. Every course felt thoughtful and well-prepared. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, Biga on the Banks exceeded expectations. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience on the River Walk. Five stars all the way.

For such a high priced place the service is not even close to commensurate. Feels more like a Applebees level service. Additionally, things like serving bread that is cold, overcooking the meat - despite being supposedly the chefs preferred and recommend temp! The only nice option is that there is a 3 course fixed price menu that is relatively decently priced if you are ok with the options. But your meat won't be cook properly. Big pass from now on.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

    We are here before going to a show. They have two entrances, one from the river walk where you have…read moreto go upstairs and another where you can walk in from the street. However, if you come in from the street, you need to walk to the other side of the restaurant to get a table.. We ordered a limonada with prickly pear, fried quail, lamb burger, and bison burger. The burgers were quite big and taste really good but the bison burger meat kind of fell apart too easily. The ricotta cheese on the lamb burger was quite strong. They came with a few spicy pickled veggies as a side. The limonada was as expected . I highly recommend a fried quails legs. We enjoy eating quails, but it's usually bittersweet relationship because of all the small bones however their appetizer for fried quail legs is super user-friendly. If you are scared of choking on small bones, these will not give you that kind of worry at all. We were impressed on how well-made and easily eaten they were. Our waiter was very friendly and he checked on us a few times. He was also the one that suggested the fried quail legs. We walked here .

Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were seated. Our waiter was incredibly short and came across as rude throughout the meal. When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.
