We had the hamburger and the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The buns used were very sturdy, not mushy like typical burger buns, more like a kaiser roll. The beef was excellent, and the chicken was grilled and cooked through. The fries were crisp and flavorful. Very attentive service. I could see why they are so busy!

Ok this is Mexican food you can feel good about!! Yes there is cheese....yes there are tacos but without the guilt. They have vegetarian options, dairy free options, and gluten free options. The food is fresh and they have large portions. This restaurant is such a gem!! Here's a pic of their fiesta salad with homemade poppyseed dressing and their green enchiladas!

I love eating at this place for lunch or dinner. Prices seem reasonable. My family and I have tried several dishes. We especially like the different curry dishes. The Thai tea is really good as well and served in an extremely tall glass. The only con is that if you go during a busy time the waiting area is so extremely small and you are in the way of people coming in and leaving.

A group of us from work wanted something light to eat for lunch between two separate job sites we were visiting. Hearthstone was perfect. Their menu was varied enough to provide what everyone was in the mood for. Some chose sandwiches, some salads, and some soups. One of the nicest things is that they have a lunch combo with 1/2 a sandwich, 1/2 something else, etc. I had a 1/2 Greek salad and a 1/2 "Tony Montino" Cuban panini. Both were really fantastic, especially the Cuban. The staff were super nice and the setting is cute. They have some outside tables as well. Pretty convenient to IH-35!

We tried this place two times now as or lunch with co workers. I was bothered by the fact that the folks making the sandwiches didn't have gloves and the sandwich I ordered had a mayo type dressing on it. I told the person taking my order that I didn't like mayonnaise but the sandwich came with something that was close to mayonnaise it seemed. I'm just not a fan of this place. The others in my group loved it. Guess it's a personal choice

Make your own burger...eat it or take it with you, Chester's has a wonderful staff and the burgers are something to write home about. Served fast and my mouth waters just thinking about their bacon cheeseburger and fries. Great for lunch or any time.

This is a must visit for barbecue in the San Antonio area. The place can get busy so go early. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. There’s lot of parking available. And the barbecue was delicious. There’s a small store for souvenirs...even barbecue sauce.

This is my 2nd time here. Everything was great the 1st Time. The waitress, Irene, was absolutely terrible. Ruined the meal, since my wife and son were almost finished by the time my daughter and I got our correct meals. The manager had to come out to find out what we ordered since Irene couldn’t figure it out. These were standard menu items. Nothing special.

The enchiladas and carne guisada are hot and delicious. The chicken flautas are piping hot! The refried beans and charro beans are tasty. The flour tortillas are soft and the corn tortillas are thick and taste home made. The chips and salsa are always fresh....MoreWe thank you so much for the awesome review!
