Dignowity Meats 1701 East Houston Street, San Antonio, TX 78202

"This place has potential, but it was a let down. The hyped up food was over hyped. Most of the food was just a ton of food mixed together. The atmosphere was off. Burnt End Melt was lacking flavor. The bread is very hard, the Mac and cheese overtook the burnt ends. The chicken was SO bland. It was super hard to eat, too much breaking and had no flavor at all. I hope they can update their menu, make the place more lively so they don't go out of business."

"We were in San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl, so we decided to try Dignowity Meats after seeing them on DDD and other places. It was really good, but I don't know if I think it's worthy of the hype, and that's mostly due to the service. They open at 11:00, we arrived at 11:30 and were told there would be no brisket for 30 minutes to an hour. The brisket was FINALLY ready at 1:00 (really? 2 hours after you open? pretty ridiculous, IMO). But again, the biggest negative was how aloof the service was. Really felt like we (& everyone else) were treated with "oh well" attitude. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day. That said, I thought the pastrami was excellent. The burnt ends melt was pretty good, but not life changing. The turkey sandwich was really good, too. Again, maybe if the service was better, this review would be different. Bottom line is it was pretty dang good, but not worth the roughly 2 hours for lunch. The bathroom was kinda gross too and had no toilet paper for the ladies."

"The day I ate dinner here the weather was bad but this place is good. On a nice day this would be a great place to eat, hang out for awhile and drink some good beers. It’s counter ordering which I like and they bring your food to you when it’s ready. I got the burnt end melt which I think is what Guy got when he visited for DDD. I also got the house pickles and a beer. I wish I would’ve got one more small item to eat because I was hungry and the food was delicious. I also liked the fact that it was not in the middle of downtown so it wasn’t super busy. That could have also been due to the weather."

"So I'm out on a business trip and of course, looking for a Guy Fieri Triple D recommendations and up pops Dignowity Meats. We took a Lift to the restaurant and settled on a KC Burnt Ends Brisket sandwich. We had everything on it which requires two things...you like everything and plenty of napkins. Needless to say, Guy did us right. We also had the cheesy cheddar Mac which was exactly all that. The service was good but not outstanding but the food made up for it. Would I go back you ask? You bet!"
