Keith CabreraMay 7, 2015Food was delicious! Unbelievably low prices for the high quality food. Great service, especially from Eugene which made our romantic night an unforgettable one! I definitely recommend eating here.
Joshua Van DykOctober 6, 2016Great food, great staff, and very good prices! It is just off the river walk so the food is better and better priced. Lamb burger was awesome! Definitely check it out!!!
- foreignfernDecember 13, 2013According to this southtown gangster: the zinc burger is delicious. "$9.00: Zinc BurgerSmokey cheddar, parmesan tuiles, spicy tomato aioli, bibb lettuce and home fries"
Hannah CopelandNovember 3, 2017Holy cow! This place has an excellent clean and well staffed environment. They have both simple and complex dishes all cooked to perfection at very reasonable ($8-15) dish prices!
A GFebruary 4, 2016Enjoyed the food but we sat at a high top by the bar so the server seemed more interested in stocking the bar then taking care of us. Our food came out to fast no time to enjoy the app before our meal
Tyler DuzanJune 2, 2013Fantastic wine selection, and the Zinc Burger is probably the best burger in San Antonio, if not all of South Texas. It pairs very nicely with the Durigutti Malbec from Argentina!
Joe HuffmanMarch 5, 2018Atmosphere was fantastic. The food was fabulous with a touch of local cuisine. I would highly recommend as one of your stops.
Hotel IndigoApril 24, 2013The wine menu offers an extensive selection of wines from around the world, including several from Texas wineries. Ask for a table in the courtyard, order a prickly pear margarita. Read more
René LePaulDecember 14, 2018Duck wings, crab cakes, portobello patty, all very tasty. Wine options for every taste. Upscale ambiance with reasonable value. Love it.
Mychelle BurnsAugust 23, 2011Foie Gras wrapped in pistachio nuts is a must. Love the escargot garlic sauce. Wine by the glass has a limited menu however wine by the bottle is pretty good varity. A must for any foodie.
Megan RNovember 25, 2017Had the churrascos of shrimp with the pumpkin creme brûlée partnered with Noro Albanino. Just the right portions. Excellent!!!!
Jere RMay 6, 2016The Zinc Burger was awesome! Prickly Pear Margarita was great! Don't sit outside for lunch. No shade and no breeze!
You have to get the Zinc burger and truffle fries. Go during happy hour for a delicious orange cream martini. 💕- Mel N.May 20, 2011The Zinc Burger is super tasty because its topped with spicy tomato aioli and parmasan tuiles, and will only set you back $9! This place has upscale food for reasonable prices!
Dessie MariOctober 20, 2017Great environment, superb unique food, amazing bar! Prices are good food is beyond delicious!
Megan AlvizoMarch 9, 2011Prickly Pears are a must!!! Food incredible! And table side guacamole is to die for!!! Plus they make it fresh right in front of you! Jaime is the greatest bartender!
Lamb Sandwich is a wrap...but it is AMAZING! Get that and the Guacamole and you're good to go. Louis Basco (Cab) is terrific.- Kerry AllisonJuly 29, 2011Nice quiet place with no loud obnoxious music. You can actually have a conversation. And the food is very well prepared consistently. I've eaten here 20 or 30 times.
Saraa FrancoJuly 30, 2015The zinc burger and margherita are to die for!! Just amazing. You're welcome
The Burger is fabulous! So are the daily specials! Zinc is the best local, off the river Bar!- Dana KicklerSeptember 7, 2013Pasta portifino is great. Shrimp po-boy great. Get the table side guac - fantastic.
- harry rosenbergFebruary 6, 2012Burger was good. Try the truffle parmesan fries. I'm super picky, so, if I'll endorse it, you should try it:)
Brandon MorrisAugust 26, 2012Best place I ate at during my whole trip in San Antonio. I've been wanting to go back to try the burger.- Brandon MorrisAugust 24, 2012The patio is beautiful. The grilled chicken salad was awesome, and I hate salads. The sangria was a little too sweet for me.
Wines are incredible. Hungry? You must try the Zinc burger!
Zach OsborneApril 10, 2011Very good overall, but avoid the gorgonzola pizza. I love gorgonzola, but this just overpowers everything else on the pizza.
Steven JungNovember 6, 2012Pasta portofino is meh. Hummus was so-so. Fancy guac made tableside was fun show but "OK". Zinc burger was ok. It's like every other burger that's "to die for". Overall forgettable in my book.
Linda SuttnerDecember 24, 2015Beware when ordering wine by the glass...it's past its prime and not served at the proper temperature
Moses RamosJanuary 6, 2012Standard bar fare with a twist. The drink menu is more robust than the food menu. Definitely a place to get your drink on.
D. ErvinNovember 5, 2011The Zinc Burger is amazing! If you like spicy food, the hummus is really good also.
Yay! The Mayor was recognized with a gift card, which immediately was traded in for dirnks and Sopressata pizza for friends from the office on our way to a fashion show yesterday evening! Thanks!!
Must try the prickly pear margaritas!! They're the BEST!!!- Uchennaya OgbaJanuary 25, 2013Amazing atmosphere, great service and one of the best burgers in town.
Paul LewisJanuary 18, 2011The BEST calimari starter ever followed by the BEST Burger ever. Eat, enjoy. Great vibe.
Clay ChastainDecember 30, 2011The Zinc burger is a game changer. My relatives who don't eat meat or any burgers eat the burger every time.
Camie TMay 29, 2011Excellent food and drinks. I recommend ordering several apps in place of a large meal.
Get the Zinc Burger AKA the Crack Burger. You're welcome.
