Reviews for TBD Bar + Social in San Antonio, TX
This place was very confusing. First off, you got to get rid of that hand stamp thing for people over 21. It?s very off putting.... Also, you need a hostess to explain how the place works so you don?t have people sitting at a table expecting a waiter to comeover. Also need to get rid of the tab method for paying unless they are at the bar. It just doesn?t feel right for dining andwill throw a lot of people off. Even the people next to us said the service is terrible so maybe management should have ameeting regarding better service. Good menu choices though. It seems like it would be a cool place to hang out but it needs somechanges. I?ll try again in a few months maybe. Read more
I met a couple of buddies there last Friday, first time there. We went because we heard there were good lunch specials. I know... the bartender was new, but he pretty much didn't know half the menu or the drink specials situation. We all ordered the samething, the fried shrimp special and they said it came with cocktail sauce. I asked for tartar sauce and he said they do not havetartar sauce. So I asked for some mayo and some relish, I would make my own, he said they do not have any relish. Now what kindof restaurant serves fried seafood with no tartar sauce? Not happy and probably will be my first and last time going there. Read more
Had mix feelings based off of reviews but we decided to try it out and actually had a good experience. We went for lunch so it... wasn't too busy. It's a different dining experience than I think San Antonio is used to, but the staff explained how it workedso we weren't confused. We ordered potato skins and burgers and everything was good and hot. Staff was attentive and severalmembers checked on us throughout our meal. It's very casual dining and the type of place where you could get up and move aroundto different areas. Probably not a place you would have a lunch meeting but instead a good place to have fun and hang out. Go inwith an open mind and you'll enjoy it. We'll be back again. Read more
The potato skins were probably the best I ever had! Our waiter was nice too, however the concept has some worked to do. We went... on a very slow night, probably only like 5 tables total in the restaurant, and our waiter gave us a buzzer for us to go grab ourown food at the bar when it buzzes...... I mean I get this if it is extremely busy but when you barely have any tables in youshould be bringing food out to your customers. Also was very weird asking for water refills. They were not given until we asked,and when we did the waiter took our glasses to a water jug outside and filled it with that.... gave off the impression that wewere expected to get our own water. Just did not feel very customer oriented (not the waiter, the concept) Part of going out toeat is being served, and no matter the concept you should never forget hospitality. Also, it would be nice if the concept waspresented differently right when we got there and in an excited manner. Has potential but lots of work needs to be done in thedelivery of the product.

It was a much better place before they changed over. I guess they're trying to make up for the remodel at the bar. Almost $14... for a Dos Equis and Shiner Bock during happy hour! They do offer domestics for $4. By domestic they mean the trash beers thatare brewed in San Antonio. There are some great beers brewed in San Antonio, but they do not have any of the good beers on tapof course. Read more
