Food was good and large portions that will definitely fill you up...and it has a full service bar. Kid friendly until 21:00 and after that its 21 and up only. Definitely worth your time to check it out and quench your thirst on a 100° + day

Hannah, Kim and Brandt the bartenders were absolutely amazing! The Trump Burger was delicious and the atmosphere is so good. Great place to watch your fave team or happy hour with friends. Only downside is theres not one in Austin. 😔

Today I had the Al Gore frito pie dog, it was excellent as usual. They use gourmet 💯 beef hot dogs. I usually get the 1/4 pound dog, but a 1/2 pounder is available if youre really hungry. I washed it down with a couple hazy IPAs. The service is always on point as well.

Decided to head out to the Angry Elephant for the Longhorns game! I had seen the hot dogs here on Elder Eats and decided to give them a try, and unfortunately they were a huge disappointment. Both my Uncle and I both agreed that the strange choice of bun was bland & dry and the chilli had very little flavor. We both removed the bacon because it tasted undercooked. On the upside the Wings were very tasty along with the mini corn dogs. The best part was the huge side salad that I sadly did not get a picture of. Salads here are highly recommended in my opinion. The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Ill return again for the burgers next time around. All in all I had a great time nevertheless.

Great food. The in-house made chips were crisp and flavorful. Its a nice sized portion as well. We mentioned we would share a Long Island Iced Tea, and they put it into two glasses for us. Very thoughtful. Fun decor and a great place to hang out with friends.

We have been coming to the Angry Elephant and Roo Pub for the last 8 years, The past 3 years the Angry Elephant became headquarters to the Alamo City Bolts LA Chargers Thanks to Chip who has always treated us like family and Mike Tejeda who made sure we were taken care of during the games, We cant say enough for the staff they have assembled other then excellent and family.The FOOD is great we favor the snacks like Nacho Fries and the wings. Weve tasted almost everything on their menu and never disappointed.The Atmosphere is beyond reproach, Easy going, kids are allowed I believe up to 9pm, Dart Boards, Pool Tables and Trivia games, make it a point to visit you wont be disappointed

This is a great little bar in a strip mall that does have good food. We like the pool table and its also good for little events and get-togethers. The drinks are reasonably priced and the menu is typical bar food. There are a lot of TVs and were kind of on the newer side. I can definitely see this being a fun spot for a Sunday funday

Showed up to watch the convention asked for the volume to be turned on and all the Republicans were kicked out because we wanted to hear the convention.The manager Mike argued with the group about the start time( Mike the manager complained he had to come in on his day off and the convention didnt start til 9 when it actually started at 5:30 the group did ask for sound til 7 pm) was condescending to all the women in the group, started taking peoples drinks who would not agree with him, the man was not professional and had crowd of 10 plus people asking to see and hear the convention and wouldnt comprise.He was condescending during the entire conversation to the point I couldnt say a word and I was belittled because I wasnt allowed to speak. The man needs to be retrained and educated on how to handle a group of customers professionally.

I dont know how I have not heard of this place!!!!! Do they have a mayor? I want to run for office. 😂🤣This was our first time here. We got there about 6pm. They were closing from 7pm to 9pm for what we found out to be for a wake for a good friend of The Bar. 🙏 Understandable 💯We had an hour to have a beer and grab some food. The staff was preoccupied perhaps do to the wake that evening and passing of their friend. Again 💯 Understandable.My wife and I received our beers....but not the waters we asked for. 30 minutes later the bartender comes back and we advised, well catch em next time and try the food. With 30 minutes left to order, have cooked, and eat....it was just too rushed.Condolences to your loss.I paid for the beers and a Beto t-shirtFAKE MEXICAN REAL PENDEJO 😂🤣😂🤣🤣 LOVE ITWell be back and update the review

I visited the Angry Elephant for the presidential debate watch party. The place was packed. Names of the menu items are very creative. I ordered the Chuck Norris not a chicken chicken sandwich, which was delicious. The decor displays a variety of political memorabilia. Great service from Hannah!

I used to love going to the College Station Angry Elephant (before they removed the vegan dogs). I called the San Antonio location and asked if they had vegan dogs, the male who answered said he didnt know. I asked if he could look and he responded I dont have a menu. I figured he was just busy so I drove there. They ended up not having the vegan dog... and the restaurant/bar wasnt busy and had multiple staff. I so wish I could give a good review but I cant. Disappointed

Went last night to watch the RNC and Mike the manager was extremely rude to us. We asked for the sound and he refused to put on the sound. He made about 15-20 of us that were there to watch the RNC leave the premise. He was rude and disrespectful. Very poor management skills and should be fired immediately. Chip needs to do the right thing and get rid of that man. Forcing paying customers to leave because you didn’t want to put the sound on for the RNC is unacceptable!!!

Fun conservative themed bar with historical decor, great food, a fun politically themed menu, and reasonably priced drinks. Only comment would be maybe add an additional pool table if possible and perhaps play some other music besides hip hop. Overall great bar/restaurant and will for sure come back.

The place was really great! I didnt eat any food but the mango margarita was amazing! They have more cool things here than in a traditional bar because they have giant tv projections of the sports you wanna watch along with a game room that has pool, darts, corn hole and arcade games! My favorite thing though was a jukebox machine thing that you could go to their website and request a song and it starts playing in the bar! Its a pretty cool place, its a little hidden though.

This place is great, been twice in about a month and each time they had live music on a Friday night that was great. The entire group enjoyed themselves. Service is good though they can get overrun as any bar does during busy times. The decor of the bar is awesome and they have darts, pool, and some video games.

The Angry Elephant is a nice change from the typical sports bar. Food is excellent for a bar. It is attached to The Roo Pub. I believe the same owners. Make sure to check out their hot dog specials definitely worth a shot.

Great place with a good drink selection. Can get busy in the evenings, especially with live music, but lots of room. Multiple TVs for sports. It has a bay door they leave open the majority of the time, so it has a nice Icehouse (indoor/outdoor) feel to it. Small patio, also with TVs, with plenty of high top tables and chairs.

I went here a couple of weeks ago, after or near 7-8 PM, and was shocked a little of how big the place was! I had the hot wings, and then played some pool, however I like non-bar types; so thats my personal obstacle haha!Service was always nearby and helpful! Next time Im trying the hottest wings!!

How do you under cook French fries? Please, whoever is working your fryers tell them to cook the fries longer. I’ve had loads of fries, you can’t pass this for some “that’s the way it’s..” mess either. Fries were horrible. Lol who messes up fries. THE EASIEST THING TO COOK IN A FRYER. Lol

My wife and I were trying to decide what to do tonight and we are so happy that we decided to stop by the Angry Elephant. Aside from the delicious LBJ chili dog we tried for the first time, we were lucky enough to see Ruben V’s Band live. They were so incredible and entertaining. We both had smiles on our faces as they completely blew us away with their talent. We will be back every first Thursday of the month to see the amazing music that Ruben V’s Band performs. Thank you for the memorable experience.

Enjoyed watching the game on the patio. Dont appreciate being charged a 4% fee for using my credit card. Be a good business person put the fee in your prices as it is a cost of doing business and not an add on; or put a sign out front so it is my decision.

Love this place! We live down the street so were regulars partially for that reason but the food is really good and has a decent selection for a bar. Beer/alcohol specials are pretty solid and selection is great. Outdoor patio for smokers, indoor games (bags, darts, etc.) and more space than has ever been filled. Good for kids during the day and great for adults at night! All around excellent place.

Saint Patrick Day fiasco . As every year they were extremely understaffed. Bathrooms were over flowing with trash and no toilet paper. Only one porta potty??? Long waits at the bar . No trash cans outside, not enough bar backs to keep up with clearing tables. Band was good until the generator ran out of gas . I mean you got one job ! Keep gas in generator. Outside speed bars worked well . How in Gods name do you run out of green beer just after 7:00?? WTH ! We saw at least five fights with security breaking them up . But to be honest nobody knew was security because everyone had the same shirts if one at all . How about some high visibility shirts with security on front and back ? Maybe hire some off duty police to help keep people in check . Everyone had notice it was going to be cold , NOT ONE HEATER outside except for girls at speed bar . Crazy ! You made a freaking fortune last night. Save some money for next year and make SPD great again!

Me and my friends came to The Angry Elephant to follow our favorite trivia host Chyna Dawl. We have been to multiple venues with her as a host and she has always been amazing. However, here, at The Angry Elephant, the bartender and some of the waitresses were absolutely rude to her, cussing her, and downplaying her abilities. While paying customers are waiting to place orders and are able to hear their remarks. They complained she was too loud, she turned the volume and music down. Then they complained it was too low. Guess the name was fitting, they were some Angry Elephants. But just so you know Chyna Dawl was still amazing, even though she was limited.

My husband and I were really hoping this place would become our go-to bar, but after three visits we were extremely disappointed. Two of the regular bartenders were always just so slow. During our last visit, no one came to the table. Then when my husband got up to order at the bar I watched him and several other people get ignored for 15–20 minutes. The place was not busy at all and there were two people tending bar. Not sure what the problem was but when Tessa is bartending it’s never an issue. Even the bouncer that is usually upfront is usually very friendly. It’s just two of the bartenders act like they could careless and really ruin the whole vibe.

Review №60

This place has a lot of potential: historical decor, creative menu, and a fun ambiance. However, the follow through wasnt there as the service was lacking. It took about 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and from what we could tell, they were greatly under-staffed. The food was warm in some places and cold in others, so it was obviously made in a rush and wasnt heated thoroughly. Its worth a try because if its uniqueness, but dont expect it to be a quick trip.We also tried ordering from here through Uber Eats and we found out our order was rejected an hour later.

Stiff drinks! Young trendy place. You cant talk toomuch inside due to loud music. Food was provided by the place next door. Wings were good, buffalo was HOT! Shrimp was tasty. Onion Rings had too much batter. Mid range price, not too bad. A little too young for us. Catchy name though.

Decent beer selection. Average service. Horrible food. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich, the chicken was chewy and burnt (part of it was actually black). My wife got the pulled pork sandwich, the pork was way over cooked and nearly inedible. Seemed like it had been heated and reheated a few times. Good place to watch a game and have a beer but eat before coming here.

Nice place. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon after the 4th of July so it wasnt very busy. Bartender was very nice. They dont have pool tables there but the restaurant/bar next door is owned by the same person & it has a game room in the back. And you can take your drinks with you.

Fairly disappointed today. The Roo is typically awesome vibe, great food, and great service. Stopped in for a New Years treat and was greeted promptly at the bar. I told the bartender I needed a menu for a carry out order. She didnt introduce herself so, when I was ready to order, rather than say, Hey, you! I waited for her and her coworker to stop staring at their phones to place my order. Mind you, there were fewer than 10 people in the entire facility at the time, but at least I did learn about the wedding the coworker attended until 2AM, as did everyone in the bar. I ultimately received my order, slightly undercooked, but manageable. The kicker to this minor service-related irritation was the handwritten signs taped to the above-bar screens saying, and Im paraphrasing, what is on the TV is what is on the TV, and it literally says, dont ask to change. What? This is a sports bar. When I was there, there were two bowl games occurring simultaneously (New Years Day) and they only had 2 of 3 screens on. And they were both showing...wait for it...the SAME GAME on the two screens! But, dont ask to change the TV. The staff is busy on their phones and the TV is very, very complicated. Maybe its no surprise they had such a low turnout today. I truly love the Roo and wont hesitate to return, thus the 4 stars for today, but come on, yall! I hope this is an isolated incident. Staff retraining appears to be a wise idea. I wouldnt hesitate to tell others to give you a try!

First timers - we wanted to have drinks and dinner and it ended with just 1 drink. We waited a while for someone to actually come to the table and when she did she had an attitude. We finished our drinks and she didn’t come back to take our order for food or more drinks. We ended up going up to the bar to pay and leave after one drink. Let me add it’s a Wednesday night.

The customer service sucks. Im sorry Im at a loss of words here and couldnt find a better word to describe the bad customer service and the top of crowd that surrounds this place. Especially when there is a UFC fight. I know that you are getting bombarded by patrons that are ready to watch a fight and are ready to drink but I think you should always be conscious about the patrons that are coming in here to have good quality service parallel with good quality drinks. Maybe work on your customer service skills be able to service everybody at the appropriate times and you would get better reviews.

We have ordered delivery from here 3 times. Wings and burgers and salad and the fried egg things. The first 2 times we thought the will gs were very good. Tonight the sauce was cold and in the side. I called and was told that is how it always is to prevent them getting sogg . I explained that the first 2 times it was not that way but he wasnt having it. Told me I was wrong. The fried deviled eggs were literally like fried plastic, even the dog couldnt chew it! The onion rings are huge but hard as a rock. Burger is excellent, fries are good. Wings were good when tossed in the sauce. We order early because the restaurant nor Door Dash are busy so the food is fresh. Third time was not a charm. I am afraid there will not be a fourth

My husband thought this would be a great spot for a date night, but it quickly went south within 10 minutes of being there. While sitting at the bar looking at the menu and waiting on drinks, I felt something on my arm and noticed it was a roach. When I jumped back my husband had to keep another, different roach, from crawling on me. Needless to say we didnt stay, he paid for what drinks we did order (and not drink) and we left as quickly as possible. It seemed like a cool spot, but we wont be trying this spot ever again.

Went here last night for the Spurs game. This place is political theme and has a giant screen in the middle of the back wall and there are curved tables in front of the area. The bar area has several smaller TVs along the back wall. We came early and our food order was lost in the shuffle as the game started and it took 45 minutes to get our food (fish and chips/ chilli cheese fries), the gal that took over the late shift seemed to care and be more attentive than the earlier shift.When the game went into the second quarter the place got a little bit busier, 2 gals for the entire place then just stayed behind the bar with no one on the floor. Had to get up several times to get drinks with a 10 minute wait at the bar per trip. Their organization system for how they handle credit cards took a little time to find my card and get it back. Overall with seating near the big screen for the game was comfortable and chill but would not come back on a game night. I love the political theme but if they know they are going to be busy they need more servers and not to forget about food orders when we arrived the place was dead. I felt sorry for the girls as they were hopping.The cool thing about thus place as well is they share the business next door to Roo Pub

99% of the food was good - had Philly fries, a patty melt, the fried burger with sausage gravy, and an Aussie pie. Unfortunately the Aussie pie was the weak link, waitress took it off our bill and said shes only had one order of the pie that wasnt burnt, cold, or both (ours was both). Other than that the food was amazing, the service very attentive, and its a comfortable casual spot.

Where do I start? This place is freakn awesome. The Mgr ( Eloy) has it going on. The beer is cold ( not as cold as it could be but close enough) the food is way better than any other bar. The wings I had were a 10, the burger my wife has was also. Will we be back. Hell yeah.Ok, went back today 11/26/17. Waitress ( Sarah) was a total airhead. Paid very little attention to us. Had to actually wave our hands at her to get a beer. Our menus were left on the bar throughout the entire meal. Never took our empty plates. Just not interested in us. I left a zero tip, thats just not me but she was that bad. Last week I left $15 tip for Eloy, he was that good

Service is ok. I asked for Sailor Jerry and they gave me gross rum from a Sailor Jerry bottle. Think they might have pulled the old switch-a-roo. On top of that the bar tender told me the rum must of gone bad. I might have been okay with that except they put the bottle back on the shelf for the next guy. Time before that they locked me out on the patio without letting me close my tab. Couldnt believe I had to beg to pay my tab. This sucks because the first couple times I went I had a good time. Not sure but seems like the quality might be going down a little. Only plus is heavy handed drinks and lots of TVs and some games to play.

Chicken was supposed to be a half pound breast. It MIGHT have been a half pound before it was cut in half.

29 patrons and 1 woman who was bartender / waitress / food runner / bus for the entire place.After 14 minutes (yes, I counted) I was acknowledged. I ordered a beer and asked for a towel because the bar top was wet. Never got a towel.When she came with my can of beer, she gave me a glass with lip prints. I paid cash and left.Sad part is that I was scouting the bar for a work group of 7 who will be in SA next week. I told them that Roo isnt a good fit if you have any expectations.

All the burger consisted of was a flatbread bun (which I thought was pretty cool), a decent sized bit of lamb meat, goat cheese, and spinach. It tasted like there was another sauce or something in there, but I couldnt identify it. The fries were absolutely disgusting. Hard, crunchy, bland, and tasteless. This was the first time in a long time that I didnt want to take home some food. Waitress pretty much left me while she was taking care of customers, so I just paid what i thought was the amount and left. Never recommending this place for food EVER!!

There with my party for 10 minutes before finally asking the party across from us if theyd been served. Theyd had menus dropped off but thats all. Asked at the bar and was told theyd be around. Too many good pubs the area to put up with that.

Jack and coke was good.Bar isnt the same. It has down graded. Staff taking shots in front and at bar. Dj getting drunk with customers. Cheap drinks. Not for date night. More for singles.

Friendly staff, decent selection of beer, games to play, couches to lounge on, and a large enough menu. I had the chicken and waffles, pretty dang tasty. The fries had parmesan sprinkled on them 🔥

Cool bar with decent drink prices and great sports viewing areas. Watch out for the laptop toting lunch crowd. They’ll take over the nice long centrally located bar if you don’t get there first.

Staff doesnt card. My husband 23 he goes orders drinks at bar pays then they carded him after hr spends 50$ after a big confrontation they kick him and his friends out. He demanded a refund staff said no and tells them they can come back and drink if he gets his id from hotel upon return it was a agreement that they would make fresh drinks for us. We get back and sit down staff didnt remake drinks we got sick drinking watered down alcohol top it off when we left to get id anyone could have touched the drinks they left them all on a table outside this bar is sad i dont recomend and i will be calling TABC on them!All 4 of us is sick from those drinks

If you go make sure to make reservations or you will have to stand! Is this a bar or a restaurant? The bartender asked if I wanted to keep my tab open, only if you want to open up a reserved table! So we left before the band even started :(

Dope spot thats connect to another bar so you can jump between both places if one isnt the vibe. Drinks are a little expensive but the patio, and games make up for it.

Review №126

So I decided to come here to join you for the state of the union as you advertised but I had to beg the waitress to put it on. After it had been on for 20 minutes and my group had continually asked our waitress to turn it on she couldnt because she had to wait to get permission from the bar to play something you advertised. When she was finally allowed to put it on the bar refused to turn off the country music to play the audio to the SOTU because ppl were watching the game. How does turning off the country music and turning on the audio to the SOTU interfere with ppl watching the game? The waitress was great but I cannot say the same for the bar tenders. I could get it if the bar was full and no one wanted to watch it but there are 14 other ppl here not counting the 4 that I brought. The bar is empty, its a POLITICALLY themed and named bar who advertised this! Why do I even need to post something like this?!

Not gonna lie, the beer was blah, country loud music or heavy metal no thanks and the smell of cigarette smoke if you want to sit outside. Didnt realize we were surrounded by angry Republicans either. We had 1 drink and left.
