Ill give em 4 for good service. But spend your elsewhere. Almost 70 dollars for nachos and 2 small drinks with 1/2 Oz liquor. Wild stuff. Nachos had a bag of 2 dollar Santina's. And a tiny tiny amount of can chili and cheese.

Went there on a Friday at 6:30. Not too busy so no waiting to be seated. Server was nice and did a good job keeping track of us. Started with a Bahama Mama ($12 rum based) and The Perfect Margarita ($14.50, on the rocks). The Bahama Mama was good, the ‘perfected’ margarita was way over exaggerated. We just ordered to share the Trio appetizer. $22. Caribbean eggrolls, Buffalo dip, and chicken tenders, with chips and sauces. All was adequate. The tenders were probably the best, the Buffalo dip probably the least exciting. Over all the bill was $55. I didn’t appreciate the recommended tip options at the bottom of the portable register screen. Typically Margaritaville atmosphere, with the music a touch too loud.

Decent food with good atmosphere and friendly staff. Centrally located on Riverwalk and easy to get to.

The location next to the Riverwalk without door as well as indoor seating is a premium. This restaurant really serves the tourist crowd and the wait staff knows what it's doing. The cheeseburger in Paradise was a really good cheeseburger. The onion rings were also very good but an upcharge.

We stopped by Margaritaville San Antonio one evening while visiting the River Walk, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences of our trip. The atmosphere was exactly what you’d hope for — laid-back, fun, and full of great energy, but not overwhelming. We went later in the evening and had no wait at all, which was a nice surprise considering how busy the area usually gets. The staff greeted us right away with smiles and seated us quickly. The whole place has that classic Margaritaville vibe — colorful décor, great music, and a relaxed, tropical feel that instantly puts you in vacation mode. The lighting and riverfront views at night added an extra touch of magic to the experience. You can hear the sound of the water flowing by while live music plays in the background — it’s the perfect combo for winding down after a long day of sightseeing. The food was excellent. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price. We tried a couple of their signature entrées and appetizers, and everything hit the spot. The flavors were bold but balanced, and you could tell the kitchen puts care into the details. The drinks were equally great — classic Margaritaville cocktails that were mixed perfectly and served quickly. Whether you go for a margarita, a frozen drink, or something non-alcoholic, there’s something for everyone. Our server was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and clearly enjoyed their job. They checked in just the right amount, made great recommendations, and kept everything running smoothly without making us feel rushed. That’s something we really appreciated, especially since it was later in the evening and the staff could have easily been winding down for the night. The atmosphere was upbeat but still comfortable — lots of laughter, good music, and people just enjoying themselves. It’s a great place for couples, families, or groups of friends to relax and have fun. The River Walk location makes it even better — you can walk off dinner with a stroll along the water afterward, which is exactly what we did. Overall, Margaritaville San Antonio was a highlight of our evening. Great service, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and zero wait time — it doesn’t get much better than that. Whether you’re a local or visiting like we were, it’s definitely worth stopping by. The combination of atmosphere, flavor, and fun makes it a perfect spot to kick back and soak in those vacation vibes.

Stopped at Margaritaville San Antonio for a couple Cocktails. And as per usual, their margs never disappoint. I got the Jalapeño Business and my husband got the frozen rum runner. Both cold and delicious on a hot Texas afternoon. We got the key lime pie to share and it was good. Had better but it was definitely good for a sweet and sour sweet treat. Bar tender was quiet. Nice and professional but not much personable attention. We were the only customers at the bar too. So over all I’d give it 3.5/5 stars. Just because the cocktails were exactly what we were looking for.

Stopped in at Margaritaville on the River Walk and ordered the Cheeseburger in Paradise with bacon, along with a side of fried pickles and let me tell you, those pickles stole the show! Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and addictive easily the highlight of the meal. The burger was solid, with decent flavor and a classic build, but nothing too out of the ordinary. What really elevated the experience was the refreshing sweet tea and the unbeatable view of the River Walk a relaxing, scenic spot to enjoy a meal and take in the San Antonio vibe. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect: laid-back, fun, and full of beachy charm, with friendly service to match.

This was the best food we ate while here. We stayed at the Marriott Rivercenter on the Riverwalk and it's one of the restaurants round on the Riverwalk. The waits are long, but that's to be expected. We had a large party of 10, but our waitress was great. Really sweet and stayed on top of things. Volcano Nachos and Buffalo wings were great! Taco Salads were fine, the fried bowl was the best part of it. If you're going for flavor, you can't miss with the wings and Volcano Nachos. Best Margaritaville I've been to, hands down. They handle food allergies with care. Loved that! Pets are allowed at this location. We did not have pets, but several patrons brought their dogs in and the team was fine with that.
