Reviews for J Anthony's Seafood Cafe in San Antonio, TX

The staff here are such sweethearts. Now they might mess up my order 2 out of every 5 orders?.but they will gladly fix it and... apologize profusely. And since I?m the Queen of modifications, I really don?t hold it against them. So let me just say thank youfor catering to my extra self and making the best ceviche on this side of town. Read more

Got the Admiral Platter. Didn't have the crab cake, gave me the Fiesta shrimp. Good. But I'd have preferred the crab cake,... especially if the shrimp was that good. The soup was alright, the hush puppies were dry but tasty... fresh i am sire they'reamazing. The fried fish fell apart, tasty, needed more lemon for 3 pieces. The oysters. Omgoodness, the oysters. I'd go backjust to eat their oysters again. Now I know what I really liked there and can get the right plate for me. Way better than theLas Palmas location I've known of for decades. That one is just in an unsafe location and the food is awful at that one. Littledude at the window was amazing. Doing his best. Very respectable, polite. Will be going back this weekend. Gonna adjust stars ifI'm again impressed. The soup minus 1 star, the crab cake being sold out 1 star. Ask for more sauces. That huge plate only had 1piece of lemon, 1 cocktail and 1 tartar sauce. Maybe for a smaller plate, but the Admiral should have double thesauces. Coleslaw was good, missing something though. Read more

I like the soup that they called Caldo De Marisco. The soup is a 5 star for me but the rest of the food were just okay. The... employees were nice too. Read more

Courteous and welcoming staff. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food that you get for the price. This is comfort... seafood, to coin a phrase. Nothing fancy here but solid, basic seafood dishes at a reasonable price. I had the San Antonioplatter which offers two fish fillets, two chicken strips, two large prawn, and your choice of sides. About the only misstep wasthe weird addition of two slices of what appear to be Wonder bread. Other than that, I thought it was solid fare. At a time whenit seems that medium to lower cost seafood places are a rarity, it was nice to find this place as a newcomer to the area. Read more

Online order, I picked it up and saw the lettuce, brown and old. Total disgust, why would the person who prepare it think it's... alright to serve something that should be in the trash. I know it's hard times with available items but as well as you haveraised the prices you should be able to provide quality produce. Read more

Lot's of food for the money. I ordered the Admiral's Plate. Clean place and nice staff. There is a condiment station that has... all the good stuff like a tarter sauce pump, peppers, sliced lemons and lime, salsa. You place your order at the counter andthen look for a place to sit. Nice atmosphere. Good parking. The fried portion was hot. My rice was barely warm. When I gotthrough eating, I put my left overs in a container and it looked like I didn't even touch it. Check out my photo of the to gobox. Read more

The service and food were fantastic! The service was fast, friendly and continued until the end. The fried shrimp were some of... the best I've had in a long time. They tasted fresh and the breading was flavorful and crunchy. The rice dressing had just theright amount of heat and was fluffy and flavorful. The corn was not too soft or firm, just right. It was cooked with onions,bell peppers and other b seasonings. I will definitely be back! Read more

Our fish and Shrimp was great. The Caldo was very good. The only thing we didn't care for was the corn. All the employees... were super nice, helpful, and respectful. Special thanks to Gabriel who provided excellent service and helped us with a fewdetails. All in all great experience. Read more
