    We had dinner at Tokya Cowboy last night, and we’re still talking about it today, that’s how good it was! The NY Strip with chimichurri sauce was absolutely divine! Perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. My husband and I couldn’t stop raving about it. We started with the brisket egg rolls, and WOW. Easily one of the best appetizers we’ve had in a long time. The service was top notch from start to finish, and a special shoutout to the manager, Brian, who went above and beyond to make our evening extra special. It’s rare to find that kind of attentive and genuine hospitality. Before dinner, we stopped by the downstairs tiki bar, don’t miss it! The cocktails are fun, the vibe is super cool, and it’s the perfect way to kick off the evening. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable night out in San Antonio, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

    Tried this restaurant for the first time. Upon coming in, we were cordially greeted. Hostess was friendly. We were almost instantly attended by our waitress and she was also very pleasant and attentive. We got there before our reservation time and we were still waiting for the other half of our party, but we were tended to regardless. A wine list and cocktails menu were offered. If I had any complaints at all, it would be that the food did take a while to come out. When the food did come out, it was all on point, cooked and seasoned perfectly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    The food was great and I loved everything except for the service. Our waiter was not attentive at all. I made a reservation indicating that we were celebrating an 88th birthday, and it wasn’t even acknowledged.
