FOOD; The food is decent for a buffet. I can't give it 5 stars because some items like the shrimp may be a tad undercooked at times because the batter isn't always crisp. Cauliflower is mushy at times due to overcooking. LATEST REVIEW. March 12, 2025. FOOD: 1. We went before 4:30 pm because it's cheaper than the dinner by about 5 bucks per adult. 2. The food was somewhat improved A. They had the butterfly shrimp back, instead of the little fingernail size shrimp. . The hamburger meat for tacos is very greasy. You can often see the grease. Most other foods are pretty good. The value for seniors is 2 stars. On breakfast, seniors save 3.82% or 50 cents. On dinner. you save $1. That's a little better. SERVICE: Generally, the good bar is kept full. The waitress refills drinks and takes empty plates. Most waitresses are nice and keep drinks filled. There are a couple of elderly waitresses that are curt and watch you like a hawk. They really eye you as you are about to leave. It's like they think you're going to sneak out with food. ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is generally good. At really busy times. The noise level ica be.high. Some families are loud, and their kids make a mess. LATEST REVIEW: March 12, 2025. We went before 4:30 pm because it is cheaper than dinner hours 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm. FOOD: 88.78The food was better on this visit. A. They had the butterfly shrimp back, rather than the little fingernails size shrimp. B. My wife said her fried fish was better this time. C. My Chicken Noodke Soup was the canned variety, but it was fairly warm. It could have been a little warmer. D. The salad is akwaysca good staple. It's always has fresh greens, fresh veggies, fresh dressings, fresh salads (macaroni, potato), fresh in season fruits (except the pears are canned), fresh cottage cheese, and fresh dressings. E.. The rolls were fresh/soft. F. The Mac/cheese was creamy. G. The fried okra was not fried crispy enough and was lukewarm. H. The cream gravy for both tge chicken fried steak/mashed potatoes was warm, but still not thick enough. I. The brocoli and the cauliflower were warm and fresh. The cheese sauce for each was like canned nacho cheese. J. My wife's pecan pie was tasty, according to her. K. My coconut cream.pie was fresh and yummy. L. My wife also loves their banana pudding. M. Our sweet tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. We always pay the extra 50 cents for the to-go cup so we can take some with us. ATMOSPHERE: A. The pkace was clean. B. The employees were keeping up with cleaning tables. C. The food counters were sanitary as well. D. Utensils were clean. E. The plates were clean, bytvwe had to search for dry plates. SERVICE: A. Our waitress was attentive. She kept our teas full and cleared our dirty dishes in a timely manner. This visit was much improved. It will never be a 5 star restaurant. It will akways be hard to rate itba 4 or 5. It's kind of like McDonalds,, it'll do, but there are much better burger joints. As gor buffets, Golden Corral will suffice, but no rave reviews.

Exceeded expectations. Service was fantastic. Jaime was very swift and courteous, elevating our experience to the next level. Food was solid, you aren’t coming here for world class quality. They hit on every point they needed to and left me satisfied and eager to return.

This place is fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was visiting my aunts kitchen. Sweetest employees, quality BBQ and tasty pies. This place just makes me feel like I’m home. 🏡🍗🤎

Excellent Fried Chicken 🍗😋 Thank you by my friend who recommended here to enjoy the fried chicken of this San Antonio Location.

Wow bad. Not Korean food. I eat and cook Korean food frequently, so I'm fine with all kinds of versions of Korean food. I have a high tolerance for mediocre Korean food because I love it so much. This place is NOT Korean food, not even close to authentic. We were the only ones in the restaurant at lunch time, which should've been a tip off. I ordered the tteok-bokki 떡볶이 spicy rice cakes and 김치파전 kimchee pancake. The flavor of the rice cakes tasted like it was made with maple syrup, instead of red pepper paste and soy sauce. See photo. Weird taste, worse texture. Rice cakes must have been in a long term freezer and cooked from frozen. Low quality. Not fresh. Photo below. The savory veggie pancake literally had those string hash browns in it. It was about an inch thick and saturated in oil. Very unusual flavors, for sure not made with Korean ingredients. The side dishes 반찬 were not fresh, and not many options. I left all the food there, didn't even take a to go box, which is not like me. >.

Husband and I had the AYCE KBBQ dinner on a Saturday night, they’re open until 1:30am! AYCE includes appetizers, we ordered the fried dumplings, seafood pancake and spicy rice cakes. All the appetizers were served hot and tasted fresh! Best tteokbokki I’ve ever had! First time my husband has ever had tteokbokki and he liked it a lot! The fried dumplings were crispy and super flavorful! The seafood pancake had plenty of seafood inside and on top with a nice crispy bottom! They also have a self serve banchan station included with the meal. For our meats, we ordered the beef ribeye, beef bulgogi, la kalbi and spicy pork bulgogi. All the meats were well seasoned with generous portions! Our server was attentive and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed our dinner and left full and happy. We will definitely be back soon!

Safe place to grab a bite. Choices are QDOBA MEXICAN FOOD, SLIM CHICKENS, CHARLEYS PHILLY STEAKS, SUBWAY SARKU JAPAN, BOBA + ACAI BUBBLE TEAM & SMOOTHI CAFE, and Starbucks.. Plenty of seating, great atmosphere, and shopping at the AAFES STORES and vendors.

Probably one of the worst Base food courts in the nation, which is a shame since Fort Sam is overall so iconic. Let’s start with Ming. The Chinese food is embarrassing, flavorless and most likely reheated from a frozen bag. The fried rice is dull and the egg rolls don’t have any real seasoning. Panda Express would be a Michelin Star restaurant if it were compared to this. Sarku Japan is just as bad with fried dumplings that are chewy in such a bad way. The chicken teriyaki bento is over sauces and way too salty. It’s connected to Ming so it’s easy to assume they are buying their products from the same Sam’s Club frozen section. Then there’s Charlie’s Philly Steaks which I would avoid if you’re from the east coast. They even have mushrooms in their cheesesteaks and other protein options. This might be a good thing if it tasted amazing, sadly it does not. Qdoba is an interesting choice but let’s be honest here it is not Mexican food and it’s annoying that it claims to be. I can’t really say anything bad about the food itself it’s just not Mexican. More like what an American from the western states would try to claim as Mexican. There are signs throughout the food court encouraging non military to eat there in case they thought they couldn’t but the reality is the food is subpar and not worth the disappointment. Here’s a radical idea, put decent quality food in the court and you will see an improvement in patronage. It’s terrible our service members are forced to have these horrible options thrust upon them. Do better AAFES.

Amazing food and customer service. Our waiter, was so helpful and suggested we try the edamame and WOW! Loved everything we tried!

If you're in San Antonio, Kuriya at Cherrity Bar is a must-visit! The Japanese-infused food is absolutely phenomenal—every dish is bursting with flavor and creativity. But what truly makes this place special is the meaning behind it. The owner’s dedication to the community shines through in everything they do. Cherrity Bar supports local nonprofits every month and hosts a variety of events and markets, making it a hub for positive energy and connection. The space is incredibly family and pet-friendly, which is a huge bonus, and they offer happy hour every day on both drinks and appetizers. I also love how they support local artists—every other month, the art on the walls is carefully curated, showcasing the talent of San Antonio’s creative community. If you're looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place that gives back, Kuriya at Cherrity Bar is the spot!

Friendly staff, prompt service, and hot food. They give you tons of fish and the oysters are huge. My only gripe was I like lots of tartar sauce and the fries portion was small.

Old school folks that like to know you. Friendly & accommodating. No frills, just good food. Great fish sandwiches & the good ice! They are only a walk-in (no drive thru) and have a dining room that is weathered by love. Carne Guisda was kissed by the gods! Sweet Tea with just the right amount of Texas in it.

The food was good. I ate the beef and broccoli lunch combo. I had plenty of rice, but not much beef with the veggies. The sauce was on point. I like the crab ragoons and the egg roll. It wasn’t long of a wait for our order. I didn’t dine in so don’t have much to say about that experience.

Went for lunch plate for $9.50 sesame chicken. Two cars in the lot, thought it was customers, but it was the cook and waitress. I got 5 pieces of chicken.. LOOK AT THE PICTURE!!! NEVER AGAIN....

Great price and really good!! I always eat them before I remember to take a picture 😜 but trust me you will not regret stopping here for mini tacos!!!!💙💙

Food Truck 🚚 Bonus here.....Great Comida y cook while ya wait ✋️ Delicious and very well priced too. Fresh and lively spot!! Next to highway 🛣 and Gorilla Shaved Ice location!! 😃

The place is very chill, and the beer I got (Ultimus) was really good. We got the giant pretzel with beer cheese, very nice. Across the place was a food truck were we got some chilaquiles with brisket 🤤, really vast and fulfilling, and a chicken quesadilla, very good as well. The only thing the place lacks is more advertisement

Hidden gem here is worth a visit. Nice location under the Historic Hays St. Bridge. Plenty of parking (which is starting to be a pain in SA), huge patio, outdoor games with shade from the Hays St. Bridge, and a skatepark next door if that's your thing. Wifi available as well so I'll be back to meander through some work with a pint or two. Beer was great and well priced. I got the Texas Juicy IPA which had a very punchy tropical citrus hit thay was very refreshing. My wife got the Hayz Street IPA, a more standard, less fruity, well-rounded Hazy IPA. Both were great, and we'll be back to try the rest soon. The food truck outside hooked it up as well. I got a pulled pork sandwich that was excellent. My wife got the loaded Brisket nachos, and let me tell you... that brisket... world class. I'm not a potato salad fan myself, but my wife said it was the best she had ever had, going out of her way to tell the cook. Basically, everything on our plate was excellent. Can't find a fault here, honestly.

Great mom and pop shop in a not so busy area. We were going to go to a fancy chain but stumbled upon this little local gem. Lots of menu options and flavors with a fantastic price. Lots of snack options to include fresh fruit and corn just in case the family wants something different 😋. The ice is not snow but more of a medium shred which is great for this heat. Delicious flavors without the artificial flavor or extra sugar rush. A perfect balance. The service is tailored to your needs and they're Lots of topping to fresh upnyour ice. Best part is I got 2 to 3 topping for every family member and still made it out under $10. Lots of free parking and seats if you can handle the heat. But you can also sit in the car if you prefer while you wait or snack on your Delicious treats 😋

Love this place ! Used to come to this place before Covid and like many small businesses it shut down because of Covid but they are back open!! Great atmosphere, great service, great menu, great prices, kid friendly, and best of all great food/snacks !! Definitely will be coming back now that we know it’s open again! Cute little spot 🥰

This place is a whole vibe with swings, hammocks, views of the river walk and the fun decor. The food was great and I love the non-spirited drink options. We ordered the Mushroom Melt, Cauliflower Wings, and the Parmesan Brussel Sprouts. Plus I loved my Spiritless Old Fashioned! 🥃

Elsewhere Garden Bar & Kitchen is hands down one of the coolest spots in San Antonio! The atmosphere is incredible with its lush greenery and cozy outdoor vibe. The drinks are top-notch, and the food is just as amazing. It’s the perfect place to unwind, hang out with friends, and enjoy the unique charm of the city. Can’t wait for my next visit

Went on Saturday afternoon around 230p. Few empty tables. Food came out quickly and everything I had tasted delicious. Some may say the bowls may be too saucy but i didnt seem to find it overly sauced with the mayo or anything. Would definitely come back to try other things.

The food tasted really good. I got the Spicy Alamo bowl. It came with plenty of avocado and meat. However, the beef was a little overcooked and kind of chewy. There was also a lot of fat and tough bits I ended up spitting out. The chicken was well cooked. The portion size was pretty good. I ended up not finishing the rice, but I have been putting in a conscious effort to eat less lately. While it seemed overall clean, most of the tables had clearly not been cleaned when we sat down. I would recommend try it, but overall I was a little underwhelmed.
