A week ago, my husband made reservations at J. Alexander’s for our 32nd wedding anniversary, because we had a $100 gift card and because I love their carrot cake. When we got there, neither the hostess nor the waiter even acknowledged our anniversary. To make matters worse, they recently redid their entire menu, which now excluded my favorite ribeye steak. The only ribeye steak they now offered was marinated in brown sugar and ginger for 48 hours. It was also served with a pineapple compote. This is death for a diabetic like me. When we spoke to the manager about the limited menu, he didn’t care. In fact, he was downright rude. Rather than settle, we left. We got into our car, and drove directly across the street. We walked straight into to Bob’s Steak and Chop House on a busy Thursday night, without any reservations or hope of salvaging the night. My husband quietly explained our situation to a manager named Marcus Mejia, and he immediately went into action. He not only understood, and he made us feel welcome. He sat us at the perfect table, gave us the nicest waitress (named Rebekah), and the best complimentary dessert. He even gave us a “happy anniversary” card signed by all the staff. Mr. Mejia made beauty out of ashes. He made us feel special. What started off as a terrible anniversary dinner, turned into a memorable one. Thank you, Bob’s Steak and Chop House. SIX STARS!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What can I say if you like good food and dont mind paying for it. You got to come here. Been here a few times now and the wait staff and everyone else is on point. Atmosphere is calm relaxed romantic. Waiter we had this time was Chris H. Answered all questions made special requests, made jokes can't best the service.

This truly was our first time to Bob's in a couple of years. It was well worth the visit. It was a short notice, date so to speak, visit to Bob's after work for both myself call my wife. Service was immediate with drink orders and bread provided both of which were outstanding. My wife had a margarita in which those small was really excellent. We started with the lollipop lamb chops as an appetizer. Be advised there are five of them and frankly that was enough to be actually an entree. They were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Next what's the chopped salad which we split. It was nicely chilled and with just the right amount of vinaigrette, very tasty. We both had Ribeyes for our main course, with mind being the 22 oz bone-in ribeye. Ordered medium, they came out perfectly and more importantly the meat was melt in your mouth tender. Really, the best steak we've had at a steakhouse in San Antonio ever. The accoutrements for the steak was a loaded baked potato for my wife have the pan fried potatoes with pepper gravy for me. Bob's signature glazed carrot was also available. Our only other side dish was brussel sprouts which were also quite good. No dessert tonight because we were quite full. Now, I want you to understand that Bob's is not a cheap place to dine. The total cost for the meal including tip was about $340. Was it worth it? Well, for a weekday dinner out, I would say no, but for a night out, special night out, every three or four months, yes. The food and service and atmosphere were just that good. Kudos to Bob's, you really got it right. Thank you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top-tier steakhouse experience—worth every bite. Had the Tomahawk Ribeye, smashed potatoes, glazed carrot, and an Old Fashioned—everything was flawless. The steak was cooked perfectly with that signature crust and depth of flavor that only comes from a true steakhouse. The Old Fashioned paired with everything perfectly, added the perfect citrus notes the entire evening. Huge shoutout to Russell, my server. He was spot-on with recommendations the entire night—especially the bread pudding. That dessert was phenomenal… truly out of this world. Stupidly good. Excellent service, relaxed atmosphere, and food that absolutely delivers. If you’re in San Antonio and want a real steakhouse experience, this is the place.

Off the chain service (ask for Joey to wait your table, he's wonderful!!!) from the valet parking to help with a non edible side of brussel sprouts thru to packaging up the take-away items. The food was stellar, except for a side of overly cooked brussel sprouts (this was truly embarrassing and beyond inedible-- frankly, a table visit from the chef would have been appreciated and appropriate). Parking was decent, and the free valet was top notch. We will definitely be back!

This was my first time to Bob's Steak & Chop House. The food came out delicious. I had a salad with bleu cheese and although I am not a fan of bleu cheese, there have been one of times where I have felt the quality of the place would probably be serving a much better higher quality bleu cheese. This is in fact the case here. I did not leave any salad behind. I ordered the ribeye and although I know it is the least expensive steak on the menu, I wasnt looking to tackle 20+ Oz. The steak came out as ordered, Med - Rare (only way to eat a steak) however, it seemed like it may have been an aged steak because the pink was minimal but the tenderness and juicyness of the steak was that of med-rare. This is how I get my friends wife to rave about my "well done" steak. I just age it and of course, the red dye "blood" is gone. I enjoyed the true steak flavor as it was not heavily seasoned like some other steak houses. Don't get me wrong, I do like a heavy garlic and seasoned steak, but I also appreciate a quality slab of meat. Brussel sprouts were also delicious. I wish there was a little more glaze on them as it provides a nice flavor pop to the Brussels. Careful though, you will need a toothbrush as soon as you're done with these because they do leave your breath a little rancid. 😉

We have been coming here for years. This was my dad's favorite place when he was still around. Had my birthday celebration here and the food is amazing. Top tier Prime Steakhouse with an awesome drink menu. Thanks again for the signed Birthday card from the entire staff!

In town for Chronic Liver Disease Foundation 5th Annual Conference. My friend Bob and were looking for a good steak dinner. One of the attendees recommended Bobs Steak and Chop House. Our server was Samantha and she was fantastic. Our filet were spectacular, the sides were as well. The peanut butter brownie sundae was as they say “Everything is Bigger in Texas” was huge. Thank you

The food was outstanding!!! We went here for my Mom's Birthday. The staff were all definitely on their Ā game. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We loved the Fried Lobster 🦞 ! Most of us had the Fillets and they were all cooked perfectly as well.

I had never heard of this place until recently, and I finally got a chance to go check it out! It’s quite dark inside, but upscale. Excellent menu. The wines that I tried were really nice quality. The salad I had (mixed salad) was perfect. I ordered the duck and it was good. I wish I’d gotten the sauce on the side, because it comes smothered in the sauce. But it was still good! We got the berries & whip cream for a light dessert & loved it. Our server James was wonderful & so helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. I would love to go back & try their lamb or steak sometime next!- Cheers from The Street Angel!

This restaurant has a fancy yet cozy vibe. The service is excellent. The servers are constantly checking in on their customers. The filet mignon was tender & delicious. The carrot is absolutely exquisite with cinnamon herb flavors. Love this place!

From the beginning to the end my experience here at Bob’s Steak & Chop House was amazing! The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the duration of the meal! The service was excellent and the server was very accommodating and helpful! The visual aesthetic of the place is extravagant and appealing! Most importantly, the food was delicious! Overall would recommend to all! Look forward to eating here again.

Wonderful experience! We were celebrating and the whole staff could not have done a better job!! Food was fantastic, I highly recommend fried Lobster tail and the seared duck. The lobster bisque was to die for. And the waiter; excellent!! Thank you Josh for making our first time at Bob's an amazing experience!

My husband and I went to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary. A friend suggested this restaurant and I'm so glad that we came to visit. Our server, Stephanie, is very knowledgeable, funny, and has great drink suggestions. The ambiance is great, the only fault I can probably say is maybe a tad dim (lighting) but don't let that stop you. The food was wonderful; appetizers and main courses. Dessert was really good also, we ended up bringing the carrot cake home because there was so much of it! Overall this place is awesome for special occasions. Go and check it out and ask for Stephanie. You will be glad you did.

3, all for the food. Atmosphere was really good, service was on point. The food..... eh. I ordered a salad heavy on the dressing and lettuce had some Pecans in it and maybe 3 or 4 tomato slices. It was ok. My child had the kids macaroni and cheese, she said it was "real good". Wife is the foodie, she ordered a steak and a lobster tail. First the steak was ok, a bit overcooked, she did not like the lobster tail at all. 60 bucks sitting on the table (additional lobster charge, a side not a meal). For the price and taste we would have done better going to almost any steakhouse in the area. Most have been pretty good. We did get the bread pudding, that was on point, really good. All in all we tried it, will not go back. It is difficult to purchase dinner at those prices to come out feeling like you have nothing to show for the money spent. It was a lot, guess we just expected better.

I hate to give this establishment such a mediocre rating... We were very excited to go out of our realm of the usual SA town go to steakhouses. The obeisance of the restaurant is awesome! The staff was super cool. But the food fell way short unfortunately. Steak and shrimp were way too over done. Sides were under done. And the dessert was meh. Told waiter that we didn't want shrimp packed to go because of the issue and still were charged a grip for uneaten food. Won't be back any time soon.

This was my first trip to Bob’s Steak and Chop House. The atmosphere was pleasant. I enjoyed our waiter. He was polite and helpful. The appetizer (lamb pops) was excellent! I highly recommend. We all ordered steak. My table mates steaks arrived first and they were beautiful! Golden brown with this awesome crust! My steak was the last one to arrive and it was late. What I got was this grey steak with no crust and what I guess were light grill marks. It was so tough that I thought it was a joke. It was flavorless and I couldn’t finish it. It seemed like it was cooked in a microwave and thrown on the grill for two seconds. From the other reviews, my experience is not typical, but I will not be back.

From beginning to end it was underwhelming. For starters, in our reservation, we requested rose petals to set the tone for our romantic evening. However, we were seated at a table that had not been cleaned and was not prepared with the request (several other tables had rose petals). We never mentioned the rose petal issue but we did ask to have the water and crumbs on the seats wiped. They did apologize and move us to a different table as a result. Secondly, we were never given a water option as we normally prefer Panna water. A separate waiter had to inform us of the options and accommodate this preference. Thirdly, we ordered lemon drop martinis and were informed by our waiter that they would come in large martini glasses. Instead, they arrived in regular glasses. After looking around and seeing several other tables with martini glasses (including guests who arrived after us), we asked another waiter nearby (since we didn’t see much of our original waiter) why we didn’t receive the martini glasses. We were informed that they ran out (seemed like b.s.). And lastly, we didn’t receive our additional sides until the end of our meal. The food itself was honestly just ok. The only redeeming moment was when a manager came by and offered to comp the side items, which we really appreciated. While the place is charming, this was not the dining experience we sought out. We understood it would be busy for Valentine’s Day, but we have gone out several times to similar steakhouses during Valentine’s Day and never endured these issues. Communication, attentiveness, and transparency could have made the difference, but we will not be returning.

We came here for Valentine’s Day. We were super excited to try this steakhouse as we have never been before. Well it was a disaster. First off the room we were placed in was FREEZING. It was a good 12+ degrees colder than all the other rooms. You could feel the difference. Everyone in our room was shivering and rubbing there arms. We told our sever and she said it’s always cold back there. It was so cold that’s all we could Focus on. Then, I order my drink (the strawberry gin special drink) and it took over 30 min for my drink to arrive!!! For reference we ordered the drink around 750 and it didn’t come til 823! When it arrived it was not good at all. It took my over 10 min to get my boyfriend a coke refill too!! the service was not good at all. The food itself was ok- the salad, bread and potatoes were good. The steak should’ve been better for the price paid. Such a bummer that a fun holiday was ruined. We were severely disappointed
