Review Pam's Patio Kitchen

Derrick Lewis

We stumbled onto Pam's while looking for something different to eat. What a pleasant surprise! This humble kitchen produces really good food! We got a tuna and a torta, and they were fantastic! Very flavorful and good portion size. You can choose between a half and a full sandwich. They also serve pizza, which I can't wait to try! If you want good food made by good people, please make your way to Pam's Patio Kitchen! Oh! and the salsa is awesome. we got a pint to-go!

We revisited Pam’s recently and remembered why we always loved it so much. Great food and wine, and reasonable prices, not to mention a great and relaxing atmosphere. I had the strawberry spinach salad with chicken. It was delicious. Looking forward to dining on the patio at Pam’s this Spring!

I've been to this spot several times, and my recent visit included trying the Veggie Sammich and the Thai Beef Salad. Here's my take: Veggie Sammich: The Veggie Sammich was decent, nothing extraordinary. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's a solid choice if you're in the neighborhood. The chips and mango salsa, however, were the real stars – the salsa with avocado and a good heat level, and the chips were not overly salty or greasy. Thai Beef Salad: The Thai Beef Salad had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the portion of beef was generous, and it was very tender. Unfortunately, the beef was overly salty, and both the beef and the dressing had a spicy kick. Service and Ambiance: The service was good, and the place was clean, creating a pleasant dining environment. If I find myself in the neighborhood again, I might return to try other menu options. Overall, it's been an average experience with some standout moments. While I wouldn't drive out of my way for it, I'd definitely consider coming back if I happened to be in the area.

This place has been a mainstay of ours for many years because of the perfect intersection of geography, well made food and price! We used to drag all our friends there and many of them have become regulars! The Vietnamese beef salad is a perfect example of the with the thinly sliced beef meeting a perfect bite with the Jasmine rice, green lettuce and the spicy and delicious Ginger dressing. Lately the food has gone down in quality in my opinion with be prices being quite out of sync ( I mean 16 bucks for a beef taco plate.... Really!) with the quality really dropping! Had salmon on a salad a few days ago and by god not only was it a tail end piece, but overcooked beyond blazes. Too bad the expansion has not been perfect. Update: this place really took the last few years seriously and expanded their patio seating and hygiene. The food quality has returned to old standards!

My family absolutely loves Pam's - it has been our go-to spot for healthy comfort food for many years. It has options for everyone, from our Vegan to our heart-conscious family members, everyone loves going to Pam's. They make fresh soups and bread daily (the bread is served as a starter - so yum), and the quality of their food is so very good. My go-to meal is the Tomato Basil Soup with their Strawberry Pecan salad - heavenly!!

Pam's is officially my favorite neighborhood joint. I've loved every dish I've had there, lunch and dinner, and I always get a slice of cake to go. Every staff member has been exceptionally nice and actually engaging.

We've been coming here for years and I realized that I had not reviewed this place. Pam's is a delicious, friendly and consistent restaurant. They have good meal choices and we have never made a wrong choice. They have salads, soups, hot or cold sandwiches, pizzas and even nachos. Their ordering format has changed, they now offer table service with indoor and outdoor dining. Their portion sizes are generous so you can order a half portion or a full portion for leftovers. Their food is made fresh as you order it and it shows. I recommend that you bring someone with you, order two different items and share so that you can try 2 different entrees. The torta valencia is highly recommended and you cannot forget the delicious and quenching natural strawberry lemonade. We have also tried their Thai Soup (Tom Kha) and Tomato soup which are very very delicious. They rotate their soups so they may not be available every day. Thus is a great place for a weekend lunch with the family and friends. They now offer curbside as well. Don't forget their great desserts as well. Enjoy y'all.

I really enjoyed eating at Pam's Patio Kitchen. I had their Gumbo. Excellent flavor, good texture. I sat on the patio. Good environment. The Service was on point. Refills on time, follow through was good. Everyone checked on me.

The food is very delicious it was served fresh and again very tasty. The service was pleasant and very helpful. The atmosphere is very artistic reminds me of Austin, Tx.

Flavor: B Service: A+ Tea: B Solo dining: A At the recommendation of my server, I got the skinny bacon pizza. It looked awesome and I appreciated the unique creation. But unfortunately, it was way too spicy for me. Now I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to spice but I was in sweats and tears after a few bites. Perhaps next time I can request a different sauce than the tomatillo salsa base. The orange dreamsicle cake was another unique creation and I loved every bite. The service was top-notch and I'll give them another shot on some not-so-fiery food.

Best place, great food experience. And service is pretty good too.

Sabrina Eubanks

We took our co-worker to Pam's for a birthday lunch. My friend and I had the General Kale salad with grilled chicken, (I had the half and she had the full size). It was so delicious! To make it even better, the salad is Keto! Don't ask me what the macros are. I'm still trying to figure that out! LOL The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is very friendly! The art on the wall is wonderful and is available for purchase! Highly recommend you go eat and enjoy this beautiful place! Been there twice already! 😁🤯🤪 Thanks 😊

The BLT sandwich was really tasty. I love how buttery and toasted the bread was. I even took half of it home, and it was still not soggy. The chips and Salsa was really good too.

Wendi the Wanderer

Enjoyed the Asian Chicken salad on the patio. Good service and relaxed atmosphere. 🥗

What an awesome experience. Been meaning to check this place out and today happened to be the day. So fresh and fantastic. I had the tuna steak and my husband had the beef curry. We were both so impressed. My husband asked for his curry extra hot and they delivered. The chef came out and gave us a special hot sauce of his making which was amazing and so hot! Soooo good.

My wife and I drove into San Antonio from New Braunfels and were wanting something good but light as we had a lot of shopping to do. We agreed on Pam's Patio Kitchen. Being a bluesman myself I love the great selection of blues filling the room with coolness. I decided on the Mexican Torta sandwich on focaccia bread with jalapeños. I went for beef instead of turkey. The sandwich had tender beef, avocados, lettuce, and tomatoes on grilled focaccia bread. It was perfect. I am glad I chose the whole sandwich instead of the half lol. The topper for this visit though was the key lime pie cupcake. Start with the most perfect moist cake that tastes like a cross between a white cake and angel food. The texture was perfect. There was a nice amount of cream cheese icing on top and garnished with a lime slice. Normally this would be enough for any cupcake connoisseur but hidden deep inside the cupcake was an ample amount of what tasted like lime curd. Unbelievable!!! This is only the best cupcake/cake/pie/dessert that I have ever tasted. The overall dining experience was five star. The staff were helpful and friendly. Great job. We will be back.

The MediterraneanSalad with grilled chicken was very tasty and large enough to be a full meal. The desserts were very tempting. I’ll be sure to sample them next time. We sat on the patio and it wasn’t too hot. Great place. I can’t wait to go back.

Anne Marie Markette

The food is always fresh, made from scratch, and consistently delicious! Great beer and wine selections. An awesome vibe in a relaxing space. My favorite place to go with friends and family!

Cindy Fellers Garza

Always excellent food and service! Evelyn was an exceptional waitress. The owner, David, brought out our food and checked on us often. Loved the Thai beef salad. Great cupcakes too. We love the always refreshing strawberry lemonade. The patio is relaxing.

First time there, quaint little place in the back of the shopping center. Staff was super friendly, and OMG the food was great! I'll most definitely recommend this place to my friends and fam!

I had heard that Pam’s Patio had great food & a neat atmosphere, so when a friend suggested we book it for a wedding shower, I went with her recommendation. This turned out to be a very good experience. Ric, manager & family member of owners who helps run the restaurant , was so great about helping us decide what and how much food and drinks to order. He was very accommodating about how we wanted to set up and on the day of the event, he and his staff could not have been more helpful. The food was delicious. In fact, people kept going back for more so we ordered even more than we expected. And Ric didn’t miss a beat on getting more food out when needed. Our wait person, Linda, was so sweet, professional & efficient, plus she is one of the bakers. We had three different flavor cakes and all were delicious. Our guests went home with slices of cake in containers provided by the restaurant. Ric & staff were so helpful to us when we were setting up. They made the experience so much easier & pleasant. I would highly recommend them for a meal or a special event. Can’t wait to go back.

The food here is amazing! However, me and my friend came in for lunch today we saw it was packed so we expected for it to be a while. Our orders were simple she ordered a real sandwich without onion, and I ordered the half of the torta Valencia. This was only ever my second time here and the first time i'd ordered this sandwich. So our orders came out and hers had onion in it so she went to return it. Mine was larger than expected but I thought nothing of it. The staff reacted by being very frustrated at us, never apologized, and rolled their eyes at us. I'm not going to stop coming here because the food is so good, but you guys should treat your customers better especially when something is YOUR mistake.

Love this place! Came here years ago with my MIL all the time for lunch. Now it is our favorite date night place for a glass of wine at the bar.

Skip Dampier

Excellent food, atmosphere and service-- we loved sitting out on the patio! Perfect neighborhood spot!

Marilyn Warden Tanner

Totally different menu for dinner. Doesn't matter if you eat a sandwich for lunch or steal at night. Food is always excellent. Great wine & beer list

Thomas Ormrod

Absolutely the best place to eat on the Northside of San Antonio. Family-run and phenomenal

Kathleen Morgan Peyton

The food was delicious and the gathering was fun. The service was not the best but to be fair, I don't think they anticipated such a large crowd.

Naomi Wentworth

Food is deliscious and never disappoints!! Love this place!!

Erin Shaw

So flipping good! Gonna drag all my coworkers over. Its gonna ruin them for all other sandwich shops.

Camis Milam

The ambiance is very "American cafe". Wait staff are helpful and hit just the right note of attention without hovering and whisking away food before you were done. I went with a friend who goes often and tried her recommendation of the camarones al mojo de ajo; a favorite dish. These were breaded with panko before sautéing which was different than I had experience before. There were 8 nice sized shrimp with julienned onions and poblano peppers over angel hair pasta. Just delicious and the last 3 were great cold for lunch the next day!

Caroline Denniston

Fabulous (FRESH) food, venue and staff! Couldn't recommend this place enough. I'm seriously shocked by some reviews that claim inconsistency! I've been coming here for years and every meal has been delicious, fresh, made quickly and served with a smile. This is true for both lunch and dinner service. I encourage anyone and everyone to go! Thank you, Pam's, my family and I love y'all!
