Best ribs in San Antonio, hands down. "Fall-off-the-bone" doesn't even begin to describe it — the oak smoke flavor goes all the way to the bone. We drive across town just for this.
50 beers on tap, every game on 15 screens, and a one-pound F.A.B. Burger in front of me. Kitchen & Tap is my new home field. Happy hour Monday through Friday seals the deal.
I was skeptical about "grilled meatloaf" — now I order it every single visit. Comfort food with a twist is exactly right. Family-friendly, fast, and everything tastes like the fire.
Booked their private room for my husband's 40th — 60 guests, zero stress. The staff handled everything and the wood-fired pizzas came out non-stop. Our friends are still talking about it.
The bourbon-glazed salmon over oak is something I didn't know a "burger place" could pull off. Perfectly cooked, smoky-sweet crust. This is a proper kitchen hiding in casual clothes.
Watched the Spurs game with a rotating tap list I've never seen this deep outside a beer bar. Butcher's Block pizza + a local IPA = perfect night. Staff treats regulars like family.
Took the kids on a Sunday — quick seating, crayons out in seconds, and honestly the best burgers we've had in years. You can taste the wood fire in everything. We're regulars now.
Our office does catering from Embers for every quarterly meeting. Always on time, always hot, and the brisket-level smoke on those ribs makes us look like heroes for ordering it.
Ten years strong and it still feels like the original neighborhood spot. Same fire, same welcome. San Antonio is lucky to have a locally-owned place cooking at this level.
“Every city has a burger place. Very few have a place where you can taste the fire. Embers is the reason my out-of-town guests think I'm a genius.”
