Malt House

this place suxs!!! the food is poor quality. i ordered the 3 pc chicken and when i recieved it, it was dry and tasted old. and the mash potatoes tasted even worse. i think they keep re-using the food that has been left over for days. my son had the hamburger and it didnt taste fresh he actually spit the food out so we left and before we did i tried to bring it up to the snoby cashier. that totally blew me off.. never again. please do not eat here. there are much better place then this dump..... more

Im in my mid 30's and grew up going to Malt House. My family grew up in the West Side and the Malt House has always been a place to meet. I now live in San Diego,Ca. everytime im in San Antonio, I make it a point in my visiting to go with family/friends to The Malt House. Best Double cheese burgers around. I usually order my ""USUAL"" which is double cheeseburger/everything on it/ fries/ and A Big REd. Where else can a group of 4 eat for about 20$? In this day in age, Nowhere! The service is great, people are friendly, dont go to the bathrooms if you dont have to. Its always cool to walk out of the place happy and full and still be able to buy a Go Spurs Go shirt or a Dallas Cowboys hat from some dude that has been selling bootlegged merchandise on a piknic table for a long time now. Two Thumbs up for the Malt House! Pros: Food,Service,Price,Centrally Located, Cons: Filthy bathrooms more

A must try if you are ever visiting San Antonio! Every time our family visits we must make a pilgrimage to the Malt House! Thick and tasty malts, and great burgers! I have not found another place that measures up to the Malt House. It is not upscale or fancy, but is a relaxed come as you are atmosphere. The locals have known about this place for years and even though a Sonic's was built not too far away-customers are still loyal to this place. Pros: Service, family friendly, and price more

We at down and ordered lunch from our friendly waitress. She hurried back with our drinks and complimentary chips, salsa. They went a little crazy with the orange sponge paint on the walls but it gave the place character and it looked like they had fun doing it. The Christmas decorations were still up with these paintings that made me think of how Norman Rockwell might have seen San Antonio in the 50's. The waitress brought my 1/2 lb. burger, fries and a drink. He got the BBQ sandwich, a basket of onion rings and a drink. We each got chocolate malt. We got all this for $11.00 without having to stand in line, have the order screwed up or having food microwaved before being crammed into a bag! I highly recommend the Malt House to those who want good amount of great tasting food at an excellent price. Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly, Tasty more

FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER THE MALT HOUSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD FOOD AT A GREAT PRICE. I REMEMBER WHEN AS A KID MY DAD WOULD BUY LUNCH ON PAYDAY AND WITHOUT FAIL IT WAS ALWAYS THEIR EXCELLENT CHICKEN OR THEIR HAMBURGERS. TODAY, I LIVE OUT OF TOWN, BUT, WHEN I DO GET A CHANCE AND GO HOME IT IS CERTAINLY NICE TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE REMAINED THE SAME (EXCEPT FOR PRICE FLUCTUATIONS AND EVEN THEN THE PRICES ARE EXTEMELY REASONABLE). THE ONLY BAD EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER ABOUT THE MALT HOUSE IS WHEN MY BROTHER BORROWED MY BIKE TO BUY SOMETHING THERE AND WHEN HE RETURNED THE BICYLCLE HAD BEEN STOLEN. Pros: GREAT FOOD, GREAT PRICE, NEIGHBORLINESS Cons: PARKING, SOMETIMES A WAIT more

I think that the malt house is a cheap eats kind of places. You can walk in with about four or five dollars and walk out feeling like a cow :) and sometimes with some extra change. My friends and I normally go there after school just to hang out and eat but it is better to go like right after the movies or work or even the club. Pros: cheap, fun-filled atmosphere more

Our family recently ate at The Malt House. Our order consisted of: 2 burgers with fries 1 order of crispy dogs with fries soda and milk Our grand total was......approximately $11.00. We can't eat at Mc Donald's for this price! Our food was hot, tasted good and was served in a quick and friendly manner...what more could you ask for. What The Malt House lacks in elegance, it makes up for in their great food and service!!! We will be going back again soon!!! more

I've been visiting the Malt House since I was a child. It was my fathers hang out as a teen and it has become one of my favorite places to eat. The food in flavor, variety and price is unparalleled by most of it's San Antonio competition. Try anything on the menu and you'll leave full and with a smile on your face. Although tables can sometimes be hard to come by they are WELL worth the wait. The mariachis are also a nice touch. Pros: Inexpensive, Great Variety of Food, Child Friendly Cons: Parking Is Difficult, Occasional Wait more
