We usually have a good experience except this night. We ordered ahead and when we got there we found they had a spurs night special but they didn't give us a discount and they said it was "dine in only" but that's not on the advertisement. Then we waited for our order to be ready even tho we called ahead lo and behold our food was just sitting on the side waiting to be bagged. So we just did it ourselves and left mildly dissatisfied. Then the food was lukewarm so we had to heat it up. Plus they gave us the saddest celery I've ever seen read more

Babe's Old Fashioned Food - Sad celery - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have gone to one other location and wasn't too impressed with the burger. My cousins come to eat at this location all the time and they say they're consistent and they're really good. So today I joined them. I will say this, this was probably one of the best hamburgers I've had in all of San Antonio, including against Mr Juicy! It was so flavorful and it didn't even have any condiments on it. I was impressed. The fries were fresh as well. My niece ended up ordering the pizza which was a large and definitely full of cheese and sauce. It's a simple pizza nothing to brag about but all the kids enjoyed it. But the cheeseburger was definitely something to brag about! I will most definitely be back to this location. They were quick & it was not too busy when we went. We were a party of 9 & didnt wait too long for our food read more

Over price. The mix of onion rings and French fries should not been served, old and cold. The meat is frozen. I'm disabled and Noone offer to carry my drinks, or bring my food. Spend $18.00. Not worth the trip. read more

went in through the drive through ordered , the chefs salad and spicy chicken tenders . Chef salad was disgusting and had Rolls of ham that i had to cut up and barley edible . barley any lettuce or anything else in the salad looked cheap asf for 12$ . on the menu the spicy tenders are listed as just spicy tenders when ordered we realized that they and buffalo sauce all over them, would've been nice to name it as "spicy buffalo tenders " instead . super disappointed in the food overall not good at all read more

Their food is so good but omg I went through the drive through and the guy taking my order had me repeat it at least 10 different times. I swear he was high as a kite because he was damn near slurring his words. I ended up having to go inside after 40 minutes sitting in the drive through to get my food because he was so slow and kept blaming it on the "new people".. but when I went inside it was the same staff I had seen before. Anyways yeah that was very frustrating and the girl in front didn't seem to care too much when I told her the issue but I mean she's not really anybody there so what could she really do. Very disappointing experience. read more

I've been to this location twice now and both times they have made errors in my order. I'll begin by saying that the burgers, fries, and onion rings are good. The issue is with the order. I've had to wait extra time on both occasions because the order hasn't been right. Both times, an item was forgotten and the order was not done correctly so I had to wait for a new burger to be made (mind you, it's only 2 burgers, 2fries, onion rings, and drinks). I hope the service improves so that I continue to support this location in the future. read more

This was my first and last rime here. The burger was not bad until we found a hair in my girlfriend's burger and that's because the cook who was making them had long hair and was NOT wearing a hair net. I'm sure this is a health code violation. The other guy with him was not wearing one either but has his hair crew cut. The chair to sit in this place are ridiculous. You have to have a 6-8inch wide back to sit in yheir chairs. They are curved on the back and you can't even lean back on them. And lastly, they have music playing in here which is great, bur the cooks which they cook in an open area right next to the dining area are also playing music but not the same music, so it's a bit chaotic. Never going back... read more

The mushroom burger was filled with mushrooms. However it saturated with mayo combined with juice from pickles it was a soggy mess. It was also too salty in places on the patty seasoning was not evenly distributed. The sweet potato fries were very good worth the $1.50 up charge. The restaurant was clean with plenty of tables. The cost for burger fries and medium drink was $15 plus read more

Babe's Old Fashioned Food - Double cheeseburger onion rings, fries - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Babes is always hit or miss. Sometimes it's amazing American fare, sometimes it's a grease soaked mush of a meal. The new location makes less of that statement as it is newer and cleaner. The menu is a hodgepodge of Americana. Everything from burgers and fries to nachos to salads to fried chicken to pizza. Nothing particularly stands out as wonderful. It just is, and sometimes that's all you're looking for. There is a bustling din to the restaurant that I find unpleasant, but I've been to worse. Patio seating would negate this, and there's certainly room. The arcade machines are a nice touch and fun in a pinch on a date. It's a good place to have a nice forgettable meal without having to resort to fast food. read more

We come to babes in helotes often so expected the same friendliness at this location but we were VERY wrong. The woman at the register was laughing with coworkers & as soon as we went to the counter she looked at us like we were bothering her and she gave us short answers for everything. She was very unpleasant to my wife and didn't pay attention to anything she said. My wife asked for 3 kids waters and an additional adult water after ordering a soda. We completely understand a charge for a cup but we would like to be notified if there is one (even though the charge said "fountain drink"). Especially since the lady told my wife " do it yourself" after giving her the cup & when she went to correct the issue calmly by giving her back the cup (mind you the cashier didn't want to give my wife the receipt to begin with) she ARGUED with my wife "you asked for this you wanted this". What a weird power trip this lady was on. Eventually we got our $3 back and we ate but it was so uncomfortable and we will be reaching out to higher ups. The front of the house should not hate her job/life so much she makes others' miserable. Go to ANY OTHER location but this one! read more

Bacon cheeseburger, side salad and brownies are large and awesome! Fries are too greasy.

Had Babe's for the first time and it was a very juicy and flavorful burger. Fries and drink are ordered separately. We also tried the Caesar salad, fried chicken burger and kids chicken nuggets. Everything was good. Only about three staff members working but the food came out quick and the ladies were all polite. It's a little dim inside but no biggie. I would recommend if you're craving a burger. read more

First time for me at this location as I used to go to the original site off of Fredericksburg throughout high school for a delicious burger! So happy to see there is a location in the heart of the south side as well. For the first time, I came in during San Antonio's Burger Week, where several burger spots have $5 - $8 options to try something different or have the burger spots tried and true items from their menus. I got a burger that Babe's had listed on their dry erase board menu that included barbecue sauce, onions, and homemade pickles. It was tasty as heck for $5! Fries and onion rings are a must here. The batter on the onion rings is so light, crispy, and delicious. I recommend getting a basket of frings (a combination of fries and onion rings), so the whole table can share with you. These fries are hand-cut and made to order! The service was spot on and friendly! You can watch your burgers get made if you want or into that sort of thing. Watching my order get made was fun as we sat down and got ourselves comfortable to eat. There are about 6-7 games here, including a driving-type match for the kids. Plenty of TVs if you don't want to miss the game as you eat. The only downside of our experience was the loud music. It was hard to find a spot inside away from the speakers. I did see a TouchTunes (fancy modern jukebox) where you can choose the music you want to hear just in case you are not digging whatever plays overhead (which was a lot of country when we were here). read more

Friendly service at the counter. Didn't wait long at all for the food. Cleanish tables. It was busy and still not too loud or packed. Very tasty food it's always good and fresh. Good sweets too read more

Babe's Old Fashioned Food - Bacon Cheeseburger w/ fried egg - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I am going to start off with the positive and that was the food, the burgers were delicious the homemade style fries were decent. However the customer service was lacking there was a team of all females from my angle in the restaurant and they all did not seem very happy, almost annoyed at everything & everyone The restaurant was messy, too many empty dirty tables left for long periods without being cleaned. I wish the business the best because they do serve good food, let's just hope they can improve their customer service and cleanliness. read more

Burgers are Great! Kinda reminds me of backyard barbecue style, kinda like Luther's near SAC. Great alternative yet still delicious burgers, they do stand on their own. read more

I had a burger and fries, my husband had a salad with chicken. Both were really good. The only employee we had interaction with was the order taker/cashier, not friendly nor helpful even after I stated we had never been there. Customers order at the counter and pay, and then customers get their own drinks and pick up their own food when called, yet there's a tip cup at the register. I don't understand this. As I mentioned, the food was good, but I don't think we'll go back, we didn't feel like we were valued as patrons. read more

Let's start with the food. The name of the restaurant says it best. Old fashioned hamburgers. Fresh and delicious, from the bun to the veggies to the patty, this place does not need fancy sauces and fried avocados or candied bacon to give you a perfect cheeseburger. That's how you know it's a tasty burger. You can also expect a clean dining experience with an aesthetic environment. Randy runs a tight ship and makes sure his crew always give you fast and friendly service. While I'm not at liberty to provide what I do, I can give you the insider secret that they run their clean kitchen by the food handler book. Might also add they use fresh ingredients on their chicken as well, none of that frozen or precooked nastiness. read more

This is my favorite place to eat on the Southside. The food is always excellent and it never disappoints. The staff and cook are wonderful people. Highly recommend this to everyone read more

I patiently waited for my food. Our order was 2 burgers a basket of fries and mozzarella sticks. I waited for my food for about an hour and never complained once because they did inform us there would be a wait. We received our food and I've never been more disappointed. My burger was freezing cold, the Pattie's were cold and hard. The bacon was not cooked correctly. My fries were cold like they had been sitting there for a long while. The ketchup was expired. The burgers were doused in grease and I will never come back here again. Customer service was horrible. The cashier was rude and not helpful at all. I'm not one to leave reviews like this but I regret spending my money here. Save yourself some disappointment and go elsewhere. read more

So most reviews complained of lack of customer service and one from a disgruntled employee. So we gave it a try anyway. Customer service was good and friendly.

Horrible horrible horrible. Not only was my order wrong and the manager said "well we are not refunding because you were charged accurately" meaning they charged me the correct price for the item that I did not want and then hung up the phone. Also was not compliant with Covid regulations. People had masks around their neck and were touching their face and then handling my food. VERY VERY bad business on many levels. read more

Bast chicken sandwich it was cooked just right and the hamburger was one of the best. Can't complain at a good price.

The cashier did not greet me , nor did he tell me the daily special. He just seemed he rather be anywhere but working I'd give him a 3-10 but on the other hand the food was perfect . The size was worth the price . The texture was amazing and not to mention the food came out hot and quick I will definitely be coming back for more food . read more

I love this place, but just found out that our favorite, hostess counter help waitress Sabrina will be leaving at the end of this month, From the SW. Military Dr. babes. She has been there as far as I can remember probably since the place open and is the reason that I continue to go back. I look forward to seeing her. I will miss her. Big smile and bubbly personality management really should think twice about giving her a raise before letting her go. read more

This was either my second or third visit, but I won't be back. Horrible drive thru experience that started with being asked for a tip BEFORE getting any service. There were no cars ahead or behind me. My elderly father and I waited way too long on a hot summer day in the car for our order. The attitude of the cashier really set the wrong tone. When I arrived home, the first thing I saw was a grey French fry. The burger was unimpressive ... I just threw it all in the garbage. Completely overpriced and a waste of my money and time. read more
