Sweet Yams

The food at Sweet Yams is so delicious you will wonder if it's as good for you as advertised! I was so blown away by the flavor, seasoning, and moisture in everything that I went back to read the menu again just to be sure. I am also so happy that they are delivering through Favor so that I can order for lunch while at work. The food came hot and fresh and it was so good that I ordered again for dinner! The delivery service as always was great! If you have not tried this family owned, good for your soul restaurant I suggest you run there now!

I was visiting San Antonio for the day and I needed something quick to eat before heading back to the Buena Vista Theater. A quick search on Yelp led me to Sweet Yams. This Black owned restaurant offers vegetarian and gluten free options so I was sold. I ordered the bbq salmon and brown rice online and within 7 mins, I got the alert that my food was ready. I drove over there and parked in their parking lot (it's limited). There's plenty of seating as you walk in, which is technically a covered patio so there's no AC. I went up to the window and picked up my food. It was a decent serving size for the price point ($16). I do wish they had fresh juices for purchase besides the ones offered in the program. Nevertheless, the food was good but nothing extraordinary.

Super underrated! Wish it wasn't so hidden so other people can know about it, truly a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing and filling! I felt Noo crash after! Even with eating desert! The desert was amazing! Anything here is amazing and the ambiance is soo cute! The service was absolutely amazing!! Truly will be stopping by more often!

Came here on our visit to San Antonio. It was a cute little restaurant with outdoor seating. It felt very home-y. I ordered the blackened chicken with lemon garlic. The ingredients tasted very fresh, but the sauce was a bit salty for my preference. Portions were alright for the price. The outdoor seating can get a bit warm but there was working fans. The only thing that threw me off was they had supplies out for us with a sign asking us to clean the tables ourselves after eating. Only had a spray but nothing to wipe the table with.

No parking, smack in the middle of the city. It's like an old run down house.No thank you.

This little place is so unassuming - what a sweet little yam. I mean, gem! Service was so helpful and incredibly friendly. We received amazing recommendations, but it's clear that you can't go wrong with any meal you choose. This is a perfect little spot for a fresh, clean meal that feels home cooked. Pro tip: always say yes to a sweet yam cupcake! Yum!

SWEET YAMS IS SO GOod!!! My first time eating here and OMG!! I wasn't disappointed!! The service was awesome , the portions were huge and I definitely will be going back to try an another meal. This is the new vegan come up!!

I lamented earlier today how there aren't a lot of healthy lunch options in San Antonio... and then I tried Sweet Yams. Wow! A hole-in-the wall type place offering delicious, fresh, nutritious, no-frills type meals. Just real. good. FOOD. My husband doesn't gravitate toward health-type food but even he said we would absolutely be back. Seating is a covered outdoor patio. Even on a 90-degree day we were pretty comfortable and loved the quiet oasis ambience with all the plants. Worth the price, friendly staff, and a nut-free kitchen which is of particular interest to us!!

Holy crap. This place is AMAZEBALLS!!We are in town for the Rock-n-Roll half marathon and needed a gluten-friendly place for some good carb loading, and we totally hit the jackpot here. The food is absolutely delicious, and I was so impressed with how many good gluten-free options there were. I'm so used to those options having terrible texture or no flavor, but that is not the case here!!The staff is all extremely friendly and welcoming, and the patio area is super cute. The entire space is inviting. 10/10 would recommend...we're already talking about coming back for one last pre-race carb-loading meal tonight.

Amazing!!! Homey, such healthy and comforting flavors, and amazing staff. I am gluten free and dairy usually makes my stomach upset, so I'm always looking for gluten free alternatives, and usually they're also vegan friendly places like Sweet Yams. The atmosphere is like walking into a greenhouse-- its so quaint and special. Even the ordering window is cute. I ordered the blackened and sweet chili salmon and it was well cooked, and such a balanced meal with salad and brown rice. I also got the sweet potato cupcake. The cupcake blew my mind. It was so moist and cinnamon flavor, resembling a carrot cake. When i move to San Antonio, this is going to be a go to place! Especially for that cupcake! I can't wait to try all the other items
