    They have Vienna Beef hot dogs, yum!
    Michael B.

    Given that Big'z had a 3.5 average rating, I was pleasantly surprised upon my first visit there! Considering the cavernous size of the restaurant, I guess that service suffers when it's full. I was there mid-day on a Tuesday so it wasn't an issue for me. Had their #1 Single Burger and a Chicago dog that the graciously changed to a simpler mustard & chopped onion dog. The dog was grilled (nice!) and was a Vienna Beef dog sans the casing (half-cheer). Burger was nice and thick, a great change from the smashburger-style that I see all over town. Big thumbs up from me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is really more like a big gymnasium, but don't let that deter you from a good burger and dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] :-) This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really friendly staff, very clean, good ambience - today was '70's and early '80's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mushroom Swiss burger was exceptional. Loved the skinny sweet potato fries! We also split a Cobb Salad. Very fresh. Perfect lunch for a perfect day-date

    Single burger with cheddar cheese Cheeseburger Combo

    This would've been 5 stars! It was so great the burger really HUGE living up to the name bigz burger, you really pay for your portion because while it was pricey it was a huge burger and lots of fries. The only reason I rate it a four is because I love lemonade and the lemonade I got was so watery but everything else was perfect. It was very moist super messy but delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have such a big menu and a HUGE restaurant very spaced out ambiance and good vibes lots of families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great everyone was polite and they check up on you while you are eating even tho there's an order desk. Would definitely go again!!!! AND THE COOKIE WAS one of the best chocolate chip cookies ever.

    I couldn't believe my eyes when this beauty by Big'z came out This double patty topped with a runny fried egg, along with sauteed mushrooms, braised onions, jalapeños and provolone cheese was stacked with nothing but the texture and flavors I crave in a burger. Just look at that thing! Big'z is the perfect spot for great food, good drinks, and catching a game on their multiple large screens. It's also a fantastic place to being the kids with their huge outdoor areas. We are def BIG'Z fans!!!

    It's been seven years since we last visited Big'z burger joint, this location was new to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment was super clean, even had a strong odor of Fabulosa, lol![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had the largest beer tap and great options at the bar. We were a part of 3, and ordered: two orders of hamburger and chicken burger with fries. Great service and the food was generous in portion size. Recommend and look forward to revisiting again!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is BIG![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We wanted a new burger experience. This was on our way home off UTSA. Went for lunch. We were greeted as e we walked in. The gentleman explained how we order. Kinda scary..... I love me a loaded burger. However, each item is a la cart. My sons burger was almost $20 A treat indeed! He devoured it! It was a tasty juicy burger.

    Had a group party here during us grand opening week on UTSA Blvd, and we allll had such a great time! Converting an old dance hall to this huge space for burgers and gatherings was genius. Food size is MASSIVE. I wish I split my meal. For a burger joint, this is on the pricer side, but worth it for the fun "hang-out" vibes inside. The bar in the back makes a mean strawberry margarita with sugar on the rim, 10/10. Tip the man for sure! Catered to our retirement party of 30+ so easily, and the outside area was fabulous. Areas to sit, places for kids to play. Service was friendly, would 100% return! If you're looking for a big ol juicy burger and classic fries, this is your new place.

    Order cost for the awesome burger combo

    If you're going for lunch, go right at opening! I got there 10 minutes beforehand, was third in line, and by the time I finished ordering, the line was already two rows long! When I got my burger, it was three rows long! GO. AT. OPENING! Seriously, around noon, the full 5 row queue line in their set up was packed. This place is busy and for good reason! I customized my burger like crazy and honestly, I didn't go as crazy as I initially planned... because my pregnant brain was trying to convince me I should also add pineapple and an egg. It would have been everything but the kitchen sink at that point! They let you customize your level of done-ness, which I love. I went medium rare and it was on point! All of the tables are covered with butcher paper, so if you're coming with kids, bring a pack of crayons or something to entertain them. I'm definitely excited to try out the other location with the whole family in tow. Thank you for accommodating our office function today! The food was delicious.

    I'm in love with the location near my home, but having recently been pleasantly surprised to see this location near my (new) workplace, I knew I HAD to stop by for lunch. Parking is a great, wide open ocean of spaces. The staff seems pretty serious and not warm and fuzzy, but ordering is very efficient. It's lunchtime so they have two cashiers taking orders at once so I appreciate that this joint is prepared for a rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not super noisy, but music (80's pop) plays over a speaker and even with a growing lunch crowd, the space is so big that it doesn't feel like the noise level is stifling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love Big'z menu. It features classic and creatively assembled burger and sandwich options but building your own is always a good choice. You can even "make it dirty" by adding a fried egg. I was tempted, but really wanted to taste the burger itself today to rate that very important base ingredient fairly. The patties are THICC (see photo) and they ask how you'd like that big hunk of cow flesh cooked. Nice! I love their fries and onion rings. Another great thing is their ranch... thick and fresh and best of all FREE! I hate paying extra for condiments. *Side note: if you visit the location off the 151, they offer different flavored ranch dips. My fave is the jalapeño ranch!* To add to this lovely experience is that my food came out pretty quick and a manager strolled around to check on all the guests. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other observations include a FULL BAR towards the back, fancier crossback seats (see photo) and paper roll coverings at the long farm style tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booths are newer and the seats are very plush![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Condiments at each table include Hunt's Ketchup, French's yellow mustard, salt and pepper. Each table also includes a roll of paper towels for clean up. I'll definitely be back for lunch!!!

    Super cute hole in the wall location that is easy to miss. We've heard about it several times, but…read morenever been until we were wandering around one night and decided to hike up some steps. When we got to the first landing area, we saw the sign and decided we had to go in and check it out. There is a bar when you first walk in then another bar to the left. We knew the security guard that was working and checking IDs so we were excited to say hi to him. The bar was super busy and all the booths were taken, but the bartenders took our order and by the time the drinks were made, two people were leaving and gave us their spots. We only went in for a nightcap after a dinner date so I'm unsure if they have food/ bar snacks or anything. We'd definitely go back if we're ever in the area.

We stopped in after our anniversary dinner and it was the perfect way to close the night. The bartenders here are true pros. Every drink is crafted with intention, and their Fitzgerald is my absolute favorite. Clean, bright, and consistently perfect. Their happy hour is also one of the best in the city, with great prices that never compromise quality. Whether it is a date night or a relaxed stop with friends, George's Keep always delivers. It is one of those places you come back to because the experience stays with you.

    I am so glad I decided to try Toro yesterday. I reserved a table for 5 at 5 pm pn a Friday inside…read moreby a window through their site. No charge for reserving. From the moment you approach the restaurant- Not even walk in- you are greeted by a professional and hospitable staff. In the front 2 young workers gave us sangria samples and helped take my photo. So smiley and kind. Then I checked into my table at the host stand. Our table was in a gorgeous lit room by the stairs. The inside was so breathtakingly beautiful and clean . The restrooms as well. Our server Omar quickly filled our drink cups with cold water and took our actual drink order. They have premium lemomades and also fountain drinks with free refills. When he returned he gave us great recommendations from their 8 dollar tapas menu on happy hour (M-F 3-6). We ordered 3: Tacos de Cochinita Pibil / Slow cooked pork marinated in achiote sauce . Calamares Fritos / Fried steak calamari w/ alioli sauce ... Albondigas / Five Spanish pork meatballs marinated in wine tomato sauce with bread .... The bread with the meatballs should be toasted and it was cold. The calamari were AMAZING. Not chewy at all. And tacos unique and flavorful. It took a while to decide but with Omar's guidance and a lot of research beforehand, I reccomend large parties order these to get the best tasting experience: Parrillada Española / Spanish grilled feast with morcilla, 4oz Spanish sirloin, chistorra, three fried jumbo shrimp, and poached potatoes with alioli Toro Paella / Toro's Classic recipe voted best in San Antonio! Jumbo shrimp, mussels, chicken, calamari, pork belly & spanish chorizo . The grilled platter came out first very fast and the meats were delectable. Love the sausage. Again... toast the bread but everything else was delicious. The paella didn't take long at all. It lived up to our expectations. Delicious and hot, enough to fill us up with whatever room was left. The nicest part was Omar brought us complimentary shots of some sort of strawberry cocktail with a chili rim. He was so thoughtful and brought my sister who was 12 a non alcoholic version. We cheered to a good time. It was so good!!! Then we asked for dessert recommendations. Omar suggested the Torrijas / Classic spanish dessert, bread soaked in sweet cream, fried & drizzled in honey .. so that's what we got. It was SO yummy like tres leches French toast. With their website you get a 30 dollar off first visit coupon using the inkind app. I signed up and it worked perfectly. After the discount all that food came out to $150. Insane for a party of 5. I tipped 30 and using that inkind app got 30 dollars cash back to use anywhere on the app. But ill use it here. Come to TORO for a great time. Linger. Talk. Enjoy unique flavors. Felt like going to Spain.

    I know this part is outside of their control, but parking is absolutely difficult. The mall changed…read morethe closest parking to the Restuarant to paid parking. So just a heads up if you're visiting this location. Service definitely needed improvement as the waitress completely inattentive and only saw her twice during my time there. I saw a couple of other patrons just as irritated waiting and looking around for her too. When ordering I asked if the stock they used contained shrimp in it due to an allergy at the table. She continued to recommend every dish that contained shrimp rather than answer about the stock- even after being told about the allergy. Finally got my answer after pointing directly to the menu mentioning the seafood stock. Food was okay. Waited a bit longer but reasonably so due to the allergy and food prep. When the server came she asked if we needed more water- which we did. We waited the entire service for that refill, again nowhere to be seen. We were done with our food for about 30 minutes till she finally checked up on us, with the bill. The restaurant added an automatic gratuity of 20% mind you the restaurant policy was only for parties of 6 or more. Like it made me question the service at this location if they're getting tips but not delivering in service. Definitely wouldn't recommend this location.
