    Great burgers, rings, and fries
    Steve B.

    We were in the Medical Center area and got hungry. We looked on Yelp and found this location near us. We had never been, so we thought it would be a good time to try it. Getting into this location can be a test of your driving abilities as the traffic is insane. Also, the front parking is very limited, and we ended up at the business next door. Walking in, we found no one to greet us or direct us where to go to order. We finally figured it out about the time somebody showed up to help us. My wife ordered one of the options that was a special of the day. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. We got our drinks and went and found a table. Food was ready pretty quickly, and I picked it up and brought it to our table. The smell of the food had my mouth watering:) The food was exactly as we ordered, was very hot, and OMG was it tasty. We consumed it so quickly and said "why have we never been here before"? This place has earned a slot in one of our favorite places. However, we are going to look at one of the small chain's other locations as this is so far from where we live. Will I return? Most definitely!

    The tables and dining room were clean!! Thanks Babe's!

    Brought in a small group for dinner tonight. The service was on point, the food was hot and served promptly. Veronica up front was super friendly and handled our group with a smile. Also worth noting was the teamwork behind the grill. Everyone was hustling and orders were fretting cranked out pretty fast.

    Bacon Cheeseburger with onion rings

    I haven't eaten here in years and it wasn't at this location. Very clean , when you walk inside you order your food at the counter . The young lady/ or man will put it on a piece of paper and swing it on a string to the kitchen that's a little bit of a distance from the cashier. They call you out by name and the food comes out and crispy! Fries had a good crunch to them. Burgers were so flavorful but very greasy but hey! Who doesn't like a greasy Burger from time to time!? lol definitely worth the messyness. Will be back soon!

    Anthony is the cook and he puts it down. I can still smell the burger on my fingertips.

    Babes, old-fashioned hamburger has the best burger in San Antonio! Anthony is a cook and he puts it down. I could still smell the burger on my finger tips! It was so great experience sports on all the TV's and great beer selection. Man it was a great burger! I will be back!!

    FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Woohoo! Been looking for chili cheese fries and happened upon a review for this place boasting fries with a homemade chili so we HAD TO stop in tonight. THE LOCATION: on the very end of a string of businesses in a strip mall that I've never been in before, so that was cool. Lots of parking, that'll never be an issue. And right off the 410. THE MENU: Burgers, dogs, Mexi-style munchies and a variety of frozen dessert-type items like shakes, frozen fruit concoctions and Italian ice. THE STAFF: I wasn't overwhelmed with a warm welcome and smiles, at least from the guys. Lol! They should really work on that. There was a sweet gal who ran out our food orders and she was great. THE FOOD: I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich deluxe with tots and a sweet tea. The grilled chicken was juicy and cooked well and the bun was lovely, slightly sweet and toasted. Overall, the sandwich could've used more flavor, like a creamy bbq spread and cheddar instead of the "Swiss" cheese that tasted more like American cheese. But overall, 7/10. The tots were extra crispy and the guy who took my order didn't take heed to my request for ranch. I was too lazy to get up again so I settled for ketchup. The sweet tea was nicely sweet and fresh, I'll be sipping this in my dreams. The hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and an Oreo cookie shake. The burger looked good and he ate it quick, so there's that. This guy can EAT so it surprised us both when he slowed down fast after eating that burger. Lol! He kept saying how filling it was, but then he also killed a large shake before the food arrived, so there's that. He ate most of his chili cheese fries, leaving me a few bites to sample. Not bad. I order a Coco Haven frozen dessert to go and omg is this thing delightful! Vanilla ice cream and coconut Italian ice (?) with a blue snow cone-like syrup drizzled throughout. I loved the texture of what I believed to be Italian ice. Smooth and flaky, a perfect icy dessert. OVERALL: decent eatery, the hubby said we can go back (LOL!) Shockerrrrr! But I recommend the staff tries harder to make customers feel welcomed and comfortable. The next visit will be telling.

Our waiter, Matt, seemed extremely inattentive throughout the evening. We waited approximately 40 minutes just to receive our drinks, followed by another hour before he came back to take our food order. By that point, the long wait had significantly affected the mood of the evening, and I found it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Fully understand that wait times vary but we were there very early evening and the place was not packed at all. Also, we were 1 hour before happy hour ended, and planed to really enjoy the special but because Matt's inattention to us were only got one drink in before the end of happy hour. It would have been great to have him stop by the table at least once before happy hour ending to remind us that the happy hour is almost near close what we'd like to get in another drink order....or even just come back by our table to see how we were doing! All together I think we were there for three hours mainly waiting on Matt. Meanwhile he was spotted several times on his phone or hangout at the front. The food itself was good, and the drinks were enjoyable once they arrived. However, attentive and timely service plays a major role in the overall dining experience, and the delays overshadowed the quality of what we ordered. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed rather than impressed. I would consider returning to The Esquire to give the restaurant another chance, since the food showed promise. However, I would specifically request a different server next time. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously because with more attentive service, the restaurant could provide a much better experience.

It tasted great and it made me excited to come back and try the other options they have! The curly fries were also seasoned well and very crisp. They might've been a bit understaffed because there was no one at the register when I walked in so I had a wait a minute or two before receiving service. But when she took my order and gave us our food she was super nice. The food also didn't take long to come out either. I very much enjoyed the outdoor area I sat at with my friends.

My partner and I went on a Sunday morning just after 11am and there were already people coming in to eat. It's popular for a reason! I've eaten here a few times and had a very consistently good time, but this review will be about my most recent visit. We visited on a rainy day, but luckily we were able to snag one of the inside tables, we ordered at the counter and our orders arrived very quickly. I got the Ratchet dog which is a beef dog with queso, hot Cheetos and fried jalapeños. Dogfather uses quality dogs and buns for all of their gourmet dogs. I found the Ratchet to be meaty, salty with just right amount of spice from the jalapeños. My partner got the Pop it like it's hot, but removed the jalapeños. This was good but lacking a bit of flavor, however she and I both agreed that was on her for taking the jalapeños off the dog. Both dogs were extremely tasty, and we devoured both. I also got an order of curly fries loaded with their chili and cheese. For me, these did not have to go as HARD as they did. The chili they are using at Dogfather is seriously good, with a slight tang and a good amount of spice. It thrills but does not take away from your meal with too much heat. Very tasty. My only feedback is that Dogfather needs a larger space! There's a good size outside seating area, but for times like today when it's raining people need some coverage. They're doing it right and the crowds want to come! As I have stated this is a local favorite. If you live nearby, make it a regular spot. If you live in San Antonio, do yourself a favor and make a trip over at least sometimes. If you like hot dogs you won't go wrong.

The…read moreservice was great, the restaurant was clean, and the owner took the time to explain the menu and make suggestions. We ordered Da Slippah, and it was an EXCELLENT choice. He even showed us around and introduced us to his family and staff, which made us feel right at home. The food came out quickly, and the burger was fantastic--but the true STAR OF THE SHOW was the bread. Think Hawaiian rolls, but softer, fluffier, and sized for a burger. These burgers were no joke: meat, cheese, grilled onions, and a secret sauce--and honestly, they didn't need anything else. The grilled onions and sauce were the perfect compliment, and you could taste every flavor in each bite. The drinks came in cans. I didn't notice a fountain setup, so that might be why. It would've been nice to have a cup with ice, but I didn't ask, so maybe that's an option. Overall, this place is definitely worth a try--and we will be back!
