Bombay Bicycle Club

First time I've been here in over 30 years! Fun, casual bar with good food!Love the funky vibe - ceiling painted with cool clouds and stars, bikes hanging from the ceiling. Friendly waitstaff. Happy hour runs till 7 pm - $4 margaritas, $6 nachos, and all kinds of drinks and eats. We had hamburgers and a patty melt with yummy hand cut fries, and Cobb salad, and all of us really liked the food.Fun time in a fun place!

This was my first time at what I understand is a long time San Antonio favorite. While I can see the vibe is definitely the kind of place you'd want to come and chill for a few drinks while exploring the endless decor filled with personal tales, it doesn't offer much else. The food was ok, and for the mini kitchen they are very forthcoming about in the story of their history can't exactly crank out five star meals but it's enough to give you the bar food you need to stick to your sides for the drinking you'll likely do. I'd honestly order the frito pie and scotch eggs again, but go ahead and skip the loaded fries. While the place was pretty dead so early in the day, service was slow and not in the since of laid back but in the sense of I think they may have forgotten us for a bit. I am sure the experience is totally different once they are in the swing of the day so I'll definitely be back to see how that goes, but wasn't blown away on my first visit.

The vibes are very cool but the food was not very good. Also, the drinks were watered down. I would come here if I wanted a quirky brunch with my girlfriends... or maybe to play pool in the back. Service was odd but everyone was friendly. It seemed like maybe they share waiters? Or maybe ours just forgot about us haha

Visited this place for drinks on a Friday evening. Had a frozen margarita, which was super affordable for the time of day outside of happy hour. The inside has a bunch of seating at the bar, tables, sofas, etc. A very nice and relaxed place to get drinks and food. The bartenders were very nice too!!

We stopped in at Bombay Bicycle Club for lunch and I was very impressed with the menu and ambiance. I loved my burger and such generous portions!!! Our server gave us great recommendations and I really enjoyed the eclectic decor to keep my eyes occupied while I enjoyed my meal.

This was our second time visiting and both times different experiences. The biggest change we saw was the quality of food and menu. I'm not sure if the chef changed but here we go. The staff was very helpful both times and they do check up on you which is great! The restaurant can get quite busy and packed inside. The last time we went the music was a bit too loud but that's probably the vibe there. Later they started to play the game on the projector. The first time we went the food was amazing!!! The meat was seasoned perfectly on our burgers and they were definitely fresh. This second time not so great. Our food was cold and not seasoned properly. We had to add pepper and salt. The only item that seemed consistent was the kids grilled cheese. Not sure what changed but it was unfortunate since we that e found a new burger spot. We even went to the new location in downtown but the seasoning issue was the same. But at least the food was not cold. Hopefully they make improvements.

Always a good experience here!! Been visiting this place off and on for over thirty years!!

"Ated it, but Hated it" lolVery quickly, giving some acknowledgment to the atmosphere, decor and vibes. Very cool. Liked it. That's why this review has two stars.Now for the food. First, I have to acknowledge that I ate my food. lol I was hangry and hungover and after the long wait, I would have eaten a burnt rat. So there it is; the irony of my review.I ordered the "Bombetter Pattymelt." Which, is the "Bombetter Grilled Cheese" with a patty added to make it a pattymelt. It has red onions, green onions, jalapeños, chipotle mayo and like 4 different cheeses. All of that sounds great, but the execution was awful. The onions were raw. Which in the context of a hot sandwich is absolute insanity. The jalapeños were fresh and raw, not pickled, which again in the context of a hot sandwich is insane. Not only were they fresh and raw, they were rough chopped and chunky. So the sandwich was filled with raw cold onion and raw crunchy chunks of jalapeño. Not a great tactile experience. The bread was okay. The cheese was ~okay~ but wasn't fully melted and was still in cheese slice shape, which isn't what you want in a pattyMELT. Also, pattymelts are usually pressed on the griddle or in a sandwich press. That's a big part of what makes a pattymelt different from a cheeseburger made with bread instead of a bun. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and say it; If a pattymelt isn't pressed... it's a cheeseburger with bread instead of a bun. THERE. SAID IT. So, based on that declaration, I was actually served a very crappy cheeseburger with bread slices instead of a bun.As for the fries, they were so sad, floppy and unmentionable that I shouldn't even be typing these words right now.

$8 for a pint of Dos? Where's my lap dance? Been coming here off and on for 40 years. I get that prices have increased but seriously. Joey's on St. Mary's Street: $5

I'm so happy Favor gives refunds because these chicken sandwiches were not edible. Attempted to take a bite of the chicken and it wouldn't even tear.
