My Birthday Lunch at Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse in San Antonio,Texas

We were taking a break after walking along the side of the River Walk in San Antonio when we decided to look for Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse for lunch as recommended by husband's former boss and friend. Guess what, we find it right away because we were just like feet away from it! I thought it was amazing! 

It is located inside a hotel by the River Walk and I forgot the name of the hotel. It doesn't look like a hotel outside. Unique location I thought.

 Hubby had this chopped steak with a side of sauteed mushrooms.

My son's medium well steak. I am not sure it is T-Bone or Rib-eye. He said it was perfect!

My pork ribs. It was okay. Nothing really special. I loved the fries though!

My dessert. Chocolate Mousse cake. 

Hubby asked for a birthday candle earlier but the waitress had to leave for a family emergency. We thought the waitress who took over, who never cared to introduce her name to us (Amanda says her name tag though), knew about the request because she asked me which one in the dessert menu I'd want for my birthday. She put the cake on our table, never said anything, no candle and did not come back to check on us. She actually never came back. I bet she was not happy that she had to take over someone's guests. We had to look for someone who could help us get our bill. My son was disappointed and said the waitress doesn't deserve a tip which I agreed. But I left a tip all the same. I wrote it on the receipt, $15 for Sheila (I thought that was her name), the first waitress and $5 for Amanda. I hope Sheila got her share.

It was not a great birthday lunch but it was not that bad either. God blessed me another year of my life and it was awesome of HIM!

Thank you for dropping by. Have a good one!

Visiting San Antonio, Texas

Hubby and I flew out to Webster, Texas from Las Vegas, Nevada last week to celebrate my 40 something birthday with our son who works in one of the Medical laboratories there as Medical Technologist. That was our second time so we have had practically visited tourists spots in Webster and Houston area so we decided  to drive to San Antonio to see the famous Alamo and the River Walk.

On our way to San Antonio which is more or less 4 hours-drive from Webster, we stopped by at the rest area which I thought a neat place and is  properly maintained just like the rest areas in Central California.

I am mentioning this because rest areas in Nevada from my place going to Reno or Las Vegas are... never mind. I would rather pee on the ground if I need to use the rest room.

I was surprised that San Antonio is just a small city and I learned that it is one of the most visited places in Texas, like at least 3 million people per year, because of the Alamo and the River Walk. How cool! 

A little view of the city.

We call this "Kalesa" in the Philippines.

This is across from the Alamo

Also across from the Alamo. Wanted to check it out but we ran out of time.

The San Antonio, Texas Courthouse

Here is another "Kalesa". I wonder how much to get a ride.

Hubby in front of the Alamo. He is sweating like crazy.

Taking a break after half an hour of walking at the River Walk. The walking made my husband exhausted. 

Had birthday lunch at the Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse, per hubby's friend's recommendation. The food was delicious but they did not have enough efficient and friendly staff.

 

Anyhow, we had a great time visiting San Antonio, Texas!
