Disappointing – Long wait for food following salad. Salmon was undercooked and sent back, Premier Filet was overcooked-ended up dry and tasteless, I gave up trying to eat it. Insect came out of the bread basket. Blue Cheese dressing had poor flavor--not sure it was even blue cheese. Food brought to table in 3 trips-with delay in between -- first the fish, then the steak, and later the baked potatoes (only two of us). After pointing out the dry overcooked $26.95 filet to mgr he offered a dessert to go to make up for it. Upon ... read more

A True Steakhouse, A Classic San Antonio Restaurant – You have to admire a Steakhouse that has been grilling for 50 years. You have to give props right up front for a place that makes Yeast Rolls from SCRATCH and serves them hot!!!! And, yup, it is very cool to watch the guys cook the steaks in their open kitchen in the dining room. And, it gets my attention every time when it's a Family Owned and Operated Restaurant, with World Headquaters behind the cash register. You can just flat out taste the difference and enjoy the wh... read more

Not Too Good... – The owners and Managers treat their staff horribly. I've heard managers yell at employees on numerous occasions. having been a waiter before; its stressful and i would stage an uprising if i was working there. The managers should work for the waitstaff - not the otherway around. And they can't cook a steak medium rare if their life depended on it.

Fantastic – I'm a repeat diner at The Barn Door. Everytime I've been there the food and service has been excellent. The staff have always been friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. The food..... FANTASTIC!!!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I will continue to be a patron of this restaurant.

Old time steakhouse, good food – We have dined here for so many years. It is like visiting an old friend. You can depend on getting the same thing and it is just as good as the last time. While the steak is not the best it is as good as any you will find without taking out a loan for a meal. The service is great and friendly.

What a let down – We have been waiting for a good steak house on the NW side of San Antonio and thought that the Barn Door would be the one. What a disappointment. The blue cheese dressing was yellow and warm. The steaks average and the service non existant. When we asked to speak with the manager he acted like he did'nt care that we were dissatisfied. They have sent us coupons in the mail. We trash them. Were not going back.

The Food Is Excellent – The food here is phenomenal. You sit down at a red and white checkered table promptly and are surrounded by an atmosphere that reminds you you are in Texas... and in a steakhouse. The new york strip and ribeye were wonderful and their chicken wraps were devine. Try the cheesecake, they have several varieties to entice the tastebuds.

Red, rugged and laid back--a true Texas steakhouse. – The Scene Since 1953, couples, families, businessmen and cowboys have flocked to the Barn Door for healthy portions of heart attack food. While the decor is Texas-steak-house-overload--distressed wood banisters separate dinning rooms, the walls are covered with memorabilia of good ol' boy successes and taxidermy, even the ceiling is not spared, empty Decker Ham packaging hangs from twine like bulky mobiles--the overall effect is authenticity. A lack of general cleanliness... read more
