    Double with bacon and egg.
    David R.

    My favorite burger in San Antonio. Eat here about once a week when in town. Half pound patties, with ingredients on the side. I usually order it with jalapeños, and it is loaded with them. Order at the counter, they call your name when the food is ready. Fold up chairs and tables in rows are great for large groups. There is Astro turf outside for kids to play.

    Place is big reminded me of Rudy's bbq just big open long tables, had music playing set good vibe! The fries were fluffy and lightly salted 4 of 5! The burger was good a little salty but not bad 4 out of 5! Not a bad spot at all regret not coming sooner!

    Burger, fry and shake spot right of off 151. Huge almost warehouse-like space and an even bigger outdoor patio. Service was quick, you can see them cooking the food fresh on the line.

    They have decent sized burgers and lots of toppings that can be added but for an up charge. They also offer fries, homemade potato chips, adult beverages and shakes. They have a decent sized parking lot and when we got there at 11:30 am there was no line and the staff was very friendly. When you order your burger, you can tell them how to cook it, I ordered mine medium well, but unfortunately, it was cooked past well done and super dry. We got our food to go so I couldn't take it back to them to show them how it was cooked. I added mushrooms and avocado. The mushrooms were worth the upcharge. My burger was overflowing with them, and they were tasty. The avocado was a little lacking, in my opinion, for the price to add it. The fries were ok, but the homemade potato chips is were its at. They tasted fresh and had a nice crunch. I also got a shake. It was amazing! The shake tasted like they had a vanilla plant outside. It was so flavorful and creamy. Would I go again? Yes, but I would get my patty medium so it was more edible.

    Had a pretty good burger at this place.... Lots of seating, lots of space.. easy concept with easy menu and very clean. It was a very nice place... i had the double cheeseburger combo and the burger was HUGE! Tasted pretty good but not on my top three list of burgers in this town. Lol

    Chicken Cobb Salad
    Tammie R.

    I had a Chicken Cobb salad and Brownie To-Go. The salad was very satisfying with fresh veggies, a juicy and seasoned chicken breast, crispy bacon chunks, half a boiled egg, avocado, and a nice amount of blue cheese. I was not expecting the salad to be so good. The Brownie? Well, it was amazing!

    My friend recommended this place and this place is amazing. We will definitely be back again. I need to try some of the other burgers

    Chicago Dog and Fries
    Nate J.

    This trip was pretty disappointing.... We arrived right before the lunch crowd so we walked right up and got our order in. Went for drinks and there was no ice tea or sweet tea just the tea bags sitting there and the bins empty. Sat down to wait for our food and the chairs just look defeated some rusty, some just barely hanging on... We were called for our food just a few minutes later which was nice, but when I went to the bar where they keep the onions there were (3) red onion slices and about (10) white onion slices that were dried out like being there from the day before. So I took the red onions. The plates looked nice especially the Chicago dog. I go to put my burger together and i have (1) skimpy slice of tomato and a few shreds of lettuce. The bun was really greasy on the outside, not sure if it was butter or what. The burger had no seasoning at all and the fries were limp. My wife really enjoyed the Chicago dog she said it was very tasty and fresh, she tore it up! We also got a cup of chili and it was very enjoyable. Overall a decent experience, but I probably wont go back if I'm in the mood for a burger.

    If you like beef burgers... go. If you like chicken burgers... go. If you like veggie burgers or want vegan options.... go. If you like most excellent and delicious french fires.... go. If you like refreshing adult and non-adult beverages.... go. If you like outdoor dining... go. The veggie burger with the caramelized onions is not something I normally would go for... Not a fan of onions... But boy am I glad I stepped out of my comfort zone! Everything was rich, flavorful, and filling with a fantastic balance of textures and flavors. *Chef's kiss* And the fries were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus, they do NOT skimp on the sizes of the fry orders... Fast service. Good prices. Will be back :)

    Nice place for a quick lunch or hangout with the family. Clean location, and kept up as guests came and went. Pricing is good for the meal, and I like that I can order a beer with my food. My only complaint is that I paid for extra pickles and only got the 3 that it came with. Otherwise all was good.

    Great kid size drink cups.
    Eric F.

    I have to say, this place has done a nice job through the pandemic and returning to normal. I am waiting for a little more to justify the 5 stars. But they aren't far from it. There's a few things that everyone should try here. The shakes, burger combos. And fried items. I will continue to check in and update in the coming weeks.

    Does this location have any sort of party room that could be reserved for a small baby shower? What are the costs, if any, associated with a reservation?

    I'm unsure if they reserve anything but I didn't see any 'party' room. It's a big dining area and then an area outside.

    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.

    They have keto buns!!! But it's hit and miss, i've gone a handful of times where they didn't have…read morethem or times where the bun is extremely small. But they do lettuce wrapped, still not the same though. The service is always great since I have the extra modifications. The ambiance is nice, we are able to hear each other speak even though there are tv's playing. I'm a sucker for their bistro burger and the cucumber cup as a side.

If you're looking for great burgers and even better cheesesteaks, Smash'd is absolutely your spot. Friendly service, good portions, and a menu that hits the mark. Highly recommend checking it out.

Yeah, okay, it's convenient, but by the time you pay to park (minimum of four hours, which pissed me off) and then have your tiny, overpriced burger...you gonna be mad. Do yourself a favor and fight for street parking. I walked up to the outside counter Saturday night about 7:20. Never been here. The ladies behind the counter obviously could NOT have cared less. No nice welcome...no pleasantries. Nothing said. I spoke first, asking about seating availability inside (it was chilly), and they were rude - looked at me like I was from outer space and said they didn't know. They said they didn't know in that "yeah, good luck with that...it's Saturday at 7, dumbass" kinda way. How could you not know? And if you truly didn't know, which one of them should have gone to check for me. So I went and checked myself. Turns out: plenty of seating. Returned to the chilly duo and placed my order. Ordered the Wake and Bacon burger. I also ordered a Topo Chico, which was also met with a blank "are you from this planet?" stare. How do you not have Topo Chico or something similar !? The burger was just okay. Tiny, but tasty. Fries were so salty and over-seasoned as to be almost inedible. No one checked on me after bringing me my burger. Not one time. The only reason I gave the third star: neat, dog friendly outside area which would be cool for a group outing. Probably not going back.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

It's been a few years since I've been by; so, I was truly looking forward to getting something. I chose The Brat & tots (plain). I was very happy with my choice. The gentleman greeted me immediately. I thought it would take me a minute, but, as I stated, I chose The Brat immediately. I'm a little high strung from my age, so people kinda chuckle. It's cute. I make me smile. They put the perfect amount of mustard on it too! See the photos, but it comes covered with cabbage & crispy fried onions. It is amazing. I was able to get a whole 1/3 of it eaten before my body shut down. Tot wise, they were hot & perfectly fried! I like to dip mine in ketchup, but they offer you various other dips as well. So, I got ranch cuz, um, of course. Also, I really like their soda brand. I can't remember it, but it's a dia de los muertos skull for the logo, but I love their roots beer, which was my beverage of choice today.

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.

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!
