We have patronized this restaurant many times.. since Covid began haven’t been there. Had lunch on Friday 12/17/21. Food was good for us all and service was good. Our complaint is this: we were charged .55 cents extra for additional ranch dressing and 3.25 for fries accompanying a sandwich which we were not told it would be extra. Coffee also was not fresh. I realize it’s been a couple tough years for food industry but to keep a profitable and sustainable business you don’t nickel and dime people! We work hard to afford a meal out! Have to think hard about a future visit here.

This place was such a fantastic, delicious find! We hadn't planned to stop, but we found it on our way back to the Riverwalk. Our lunch was delicious (chicken fried steak, hamburger, fried pickles) and the service was great!

Awesome as usual.
I had the jalapeño steak with fries and Texas toast. Incredible and perfectly cooked. Hubby had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and toast. Damn that gravy!!! Love everything there. Service was awesome too.

Met with a group of friends at Good Time Charlies in San Antonio. The place was clean and the waitress was friendly. However, my food was anything but good. I ordered a fish sandwich. It was huge and stacked high with iceberg lettuce and hot house tomatoes. It was not at all good and tasted fishy and old. Could have even been a carp or some other unwanted fish. Could not finish it. A few others in the group ordered pork chops and they said they were fine. From what I have experienced do not order fish at this place.

Came for the chicken fried steak and an indoor dining experience and to my surprise, the server brought our food to the table in styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. The server only returned when we got up to leave and then pulled the 4 corners of the plastic table covering together, wad the disposable container meal into ball and placed it into a nearby trash can.
Food was below expectations. Maybe the chicken fried steak had too much foil and Styrofoam mixed in it. Trust me, you'll be looking for it as your cheepo plastic knife and fork cut the Styrofoam container into shreds.
There are other restaurants in San Antonio that have opened their dining room and are using plates and silverware. If that is important to your dining experience, you might want recosider going to GTC.

Many years ago, my husband remembers going to GTC's when he returned from the Navy, in 1970. It has been around a long time. We had not returned ourselves in a good number of years. However, I really wanted chicken fried steak.
Unfortunately, we arrived at the end of a really busy Friday lunch rush. I ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy on the side. The plate comes with two sides. I also asked for the green beans and a side of queso. The mashed potatoes are real and do taste good. The green beans have a lot of bacon and are also tasty.
The best thing I had was the queso. Everything, except for the queso, was cold. The mashed potatoes, corn and green beans would have been very good but they were cold. Even the gravy was cold.
The chicken fried steak was almost all gristle. I chewed and literally spit out most of the bite. I know not all pieces of meat turn out great but this was ridiculous!!!
My husband ordered the hamburger steak with the mashed potatoes and gravy. The grilled onions were way overcooked. It also needed brown gravy.
Lunch, for two, was $40 without tip.
It looks like we will not be going back for another long time.

Saw ads on tv and the crowds, but it wasn't all the hype said it was. The chicken fried steak had to have shrunk because almost a quarter of it was empty. Nothing spectacular about the gravy as well, beans and potatoes were like they were out of a can or box. Tried it... will move on... Have had many more better than this place.

The food was nothing special, a lot of fried stuff smothered with cheese. If you like high cholesterol meals then this is the place to go. About the only thing healthy that I have found was the steamed broccoli as as side order. Prices are quite reasonable and service was good.

We came by for lunch today, we were wanting something different. Two of us had burgers, they were excellent. The other person in our party had grilled chicken. The food coming out of the kitchen looked good, the man next to us had fried pork chops, they looked really great!

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and had great service, but on
Wednesday June 17, 2020 at approximately 4PM was totally poor service. The sign inside the said seat yourself, so we did. Absolutely no one greeted us as we walked in as in the past you always get greeted. We picked a table, sat their for half an hour, and got no service. It seemed if we were advisable as everyone else was getting service. We finally got up and left and the waitress said "thanks for coming and hope to see y'all again". We don't know if the restaurant was under staffed due to covid-19 or we were just simply ignored. We are planning to wait a couple of months to try again, but if this poor service happens again, we will never go back.

After playing golf at Brackenridge Golf Course, my friend wanted to go eat at Good Time Charlie's. The food is average and there is nothing particularly worth coming back to this place again. I had a patty melt and he had a cobb salad. The patty melt was average at best. The Cobb salad looked okay and was big.

First time there. The food was decent and service was good. Looking at the dining room floor it seems they need to do some cleaning. The exposed concrete was black and the bottom of the trash cans were filthy. Needs some maintenance

Expected it to be slower but it was very crowded. Not a very big place. Parking ok. Had the chicken fried steak. It was great! The mashed potatoes were luke warm. My husband's catfish sandwich was great. Service was fair

The Hamburger steaks are great here.
This place has a very comfortable down home diner experience.
Also I have been here several times and the service has always been good and friendly.

One of my favorite San Antonio restaurants. I always get the Chicken Fried Steak but was not quite hungry enough, so I had a cheeseburger. It was delicious! Service was good as usual. Just one of the better places to eat. No frills just good food.
