Longhorn Cafe

Loved the one on Blanco but now that I live in Alamo heights this is the logical choice… my food has never disappointed and the upper staff has always been very cool and helpful… now the ones taking the orders need some work! LOL
When I say I want a chicken sandwich with everything… where is the confusion? the youngster began to argue with me… BAD idea for a retired Professor! LOL
But love this place and go back at least once a week… good value and good people!!!

It’s like this chicken fried chicken sandwich was flown here to me on the backs of angels, or some sh*t. So damn delicious, I can’t even. Put any of their hot sauces on it first before you start eating, it hits the spot. If you want to get like a beef patty burger I really like the mushroom Swiss or guacamole burgers.

The value for what you get here is out of this world! Prices are really fair and the portion sizes are great! I went twice back to back. The first time I ordered the fish sandwich which was actually kind of terrible but I tasted my husbands pulled pork and it was great so we came back the next day and I got a burger and it was delish. I love that they butter and toast the bun I know it’s fatty and unhealthy but it taste sooo good! The onion rings are great. You can definitely tell they are fresh and not frozen. And whatever batter they are using to dip those onions in is phenomenal!

I’ve heard about his place about how good the Burgers are, i decided to give them a try. Wow! Where have you been all my life? The burgers were so good! We got the half and half — half onion rings and half fries. We shared a large order between my 12 yr old, husband and myself. The burgers are very filling so we almost didn’t finish the fries and onion rings. Yes, the burgers do take a little while but it’s worth the wait. I took another one to go for my daughter and she loved it! Yes, we are going back for sure!

Nice Family friendly environment
Cheddar burger with bacon was meh…
Fries & onion rings meh… Nothing special
I prob won’t make it back

Hefty sized burgers, fried sides, milkshakes, cool toppings for the burgers! Good stuff

First of all the burgers are Great. No complaint. What is amazing to me is that anyone could know how good they are due to the service levels. I’m pretty sure they will be able to convince the owner I was the bad guy, but actually let me paint the scene. We wanted to stay in tonight and watch past episodes of Star Wars to be up to speed on the upcoming sequel. We previously bought the set of all episodes and since our DVR Player was not a blu-​ray player, we ordered one on Amazon Prime and it was delivered to our door in 45 minutes. Now for dinner. We wanted a burger and our top choice was Whataburger but I thought since we would have to drive to Austin Highway our burgers would be cold by the time we got back. We decided to stick close to home and go with Longhorn Café. We called in our order and were told 10 – 15 minutes. We live right up the street so I waited 15 minutes knowing that in the past we always had to wait when we got there. No letting me down tonight on that point. When I got there and paid I was told my order wasn’t ready yet. No surprise. I actually went to the restroom and came back and stood right near the register where the girl was (I think) putting plastic sheets in those plastic containers they serve the inhouse burgers in. I noticed a to go bag sitting on the counter behind her. Knowing that she told me the order wasn’t ready when I arrived and she saw me return after coming back from the restroom I assumed my order still wasn’t ready because she was just sitting there diligently stuffing baskets for future orders. Bored and slightly irritated about the usual wait I counted the number of staff (7) that I could see and the number of patrons in the main dining room (16). I thought to myself at that time two things. 1) I felt sorry for whoever that take out was for because it was getting cold and 2) next time it would be better to just come in and order take-​out in person. Now this is the point where the staff will tell the owner I was exaggerating about the time I waited, but let’s give them an edge here and say 5 minutes. (It was more because I went to the restroom) and still came back and waited. (Remember, that’s when I first noticed the takeout order sitting there, took time to count the crowd in my boredom, and feel sorry for whoever was going to pick up a cold order of food.) Then, it happened. The girl turned around, saw the to go order, picked it up, and called my name… I looked at her incredulously and asked…“are you serious. That bag has been sitting there 10 minutes…” Her answer. They (the guys 5 feet behind her) don’t tell her when the take out orders are ready. (My problem?). Dear Owner… You have a great product. Despite all of this the burger was great. I would probably go more often but this experience with your staff is common and I’m not inclined to choose your establishment that often. Now. We eat out almost every night. For those of you reading this review let me tell you as a local it’s probably better to go to Austin Highway and get a Whataburger. The service WILL be significant better. And if you want to stay close to home, the service (and food) at Cazadores and Panda Inn across the street is excellent. We go to both of those just about every week. I would say they get our business at least 45 times a year (each) Their restaurants are super busy as a result. Just saying…

A burger joint that you can do no wrong in! I highly recommend the Guacamole Burger. This place is a San Antonio local chain with locations across the city. The relaxed atmosphere and fresh burgers keep bringing me back. Yes the food takes a while to come out but it’s fresh and you can see into the kitchen where they make them to order.
I have to give this place an A+ for cleanliness from the kitchen to the tables to the restrooms this place is very clean for the amount of business that they do.

This was a cool spot to come and eat. Lunch or dinner menus are available. The whole restaurant has the BBQ/​cowboy feel to it.

I love coming here for lunch! Best Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Tots! It can get crowded at times, but worth the wait! Excellent customer service and Kevin is the sweetest! Always has a smile and makes you feel at home! I would recommend it to anyone!

The grilled chicken salad was alright but I’ve had better. My daughter disliked her chicken strip meal because of the breading, (which she pulled off), and the gravy to dip the strips in was cold and chunky. The soda machine wasn’t working properly. I reported the malfunction to the cashier but no one corrected the issue. I don’t feel that this place is anything special, I rather have galley food!

About the closest thing you will get to the road house experience in the city. Although the décor is faux, it perfectly captures that essence — ice tubs full of beer, tin sheet lining the wall and the obligatory Shiner signs.
While the burgers are top notch, the deep fryer is where it’s at. Really amazing onion rings, fried pickles, poppers and just about everything else that can be dipped in grease.
Service can be a little on the slow side so pack on a few extra minutes if you try going there during the lunch rush.

My husband loves this place. It’s not my favorite… but it looks like a popular place to go for a good Texas style homecooked meal.

Casual little place. They have a nice play area for the kids. The food is good. Nice greasy burger. Nothing bad to say.

Can’t go wrong with their Big Juicy (no mayo for me). Would stick with the french fries; last few times I’ve had the onion rings they come out way too floury and feels like eating paste…

While I am not too big a burger fan… I just can’t keep away. Sometimes a person has to admit when good is good, and this is the spot for a south Texas burger!

Atmosphere great
Low casual relaxing place.
No wait time.
You have to order at the counter. So for someone like me who can’t stand very long you will need to sit and look at The menu. There is a place to sit at the beginning near the doorway. I look at the menu and then I made the decision and then I went back up there to the counter but they have listed at the counter some deals/​combos, I would’ve missed that it’s not listed on the menu. There is a large menu on the wall as you come in .
I have fish basket.
They give large portions
My family and I shared fried pickles it was great.
They had to two soda fountain machines one was working. One was not. We’re in the room just before you exit to the left. we thought we don’t have to get up and walk all the way back to the other one but it wasn’t working. the TV was there and it was working

This place is not bad. The food is good and they give good sizes portions! I had a burger and it was good. The bun was done very nicely, tender in the middle, crisp on edges.
The atmosphere was very relaxing, it wasn’t very crowded or congested. I didn’t like the chairs or benches they had. You had to ask for utensils and I wasn’t big on that. Other than that an ok place.

I know when you’re a native San Antonian it’s sacrilegious to claim there’s a better burger out there than Chris Madrid’s. Sooo I won’t go that far. But, I will say this is a close second in my book. The Big Juicy is just that – deliciously juicy. Another plus is the fact that they toast the buns on the griddle alongside the burger, so there’s a nice crunch around the bun’s edges.
PROS: No crazy wait times like CM’s; really good fries and onion rings (order the «half & half» basket to get the best of both!); yummy handmade milkshakes (if you’re a chocoholic, the chocolate one will hit the spot).
CONS: It can be cold in here, so don’t forget a sweater if you tend to get chilly in restaurants. Also, this place is definitely family-​friendly, so be prepared to deal with noise and kids.

I am not a burger liver but I have to say hands down the Big Juicy is the best burger I have ever had. The wait was decent for the amount of customers. The atmosphere is relaxed but twice I have been during lunch and it was packed.
The have a closed off area for additional seating and to have business lunches.
The big juicy had a nicely toasted bun and a juicy tasty burger. The sweet potatoe fries and dipping sauce were a perfect compliment to the burger. Something salty something sweet. Must eat in moderation because the food will make you sleepy:)
