    Burnt Asiago bagel with cream cheese
    Linda E.

    Worst experience ever! Ordered a Asiago bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel was burnt. It's unbelievable that this was served to a customer

    Vegan travelers, you have a friend in the San Antonio Airport! Boss Bagel's got your belly AND your travel hangries. I was pleasantly surprised to find an airport bagel vendor with tofu spread AND peanut butter, best enjoyed separately.

    Best Bagel shop in SA! So glad our visitors get a chance to try it at the airport. Service is good and it's a cute little airport stop. (And you really should check out the Alamo heights location!)

    This is the second time I have been to Boss Bagel in the airport and customer service is always great. So many selections of cream cheese and bagels to choose from. I ended up getting the French toast with mixed berry ,it was so tasty.

    I never worry when I fly out of this airport and haven't eaten. I know I can always stop at boss bagel to grab a bite. They have a great variety of smears/cream cheese spreads. Servers are always helpful when it comes to explaining the different flavors and making recommendations. Very small space so expect to take your bagel to go.

    Bacon Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese
    Robert W.

    As someone from New York, I am pretty critical of my bagels, but with the San Antonio Airport offering little in the way of slightly healthy food before a flight, I decided to go with a bagel. Our flight was midday so they were out of a lot of the options for both bagels and cream cheese, but I was able to snag a Bacon bagel with scallion cream cheese. The service was friendly and the bagel came out very fast. There were a few seats at the place to sit down as well, but you definitely couldn't get a group of more than 4 people together so you're probably better off sitting at your gate. All in the all, the bagel and cream cheese was fine. Nothing to write home about - the bacon didn't come through much although it was nice to have a savory bagel. Not a bad option for an airport stop.

    Sandwiches

    I heard about Boss Bagel from a Yelp friend from San Antonio, and he raved about how great their bagel sandwiches were. When I saw that Boss Bagel had a location inside the San Antonio International Airport (SAT), I knew I had to pay them a visit. I arrived after 2 PM on a Saturday, and Dashun was there to take my order. I thought I remembered seeing him warmly welcome other customers, but I didn't get that same vibe from him. Perhaps I caught him at an off time? Anyways, I was hoping to get the Slammin' Salmon, but he mentioned they were out of several ingredients. Then why is it still on their menu then?! Shouldn't they at least have a "Sold out" sign somewhere? There was not, so I had to think of a Plan B on the spot. My backup choice was The Athlete, but they were out of egg whites as well. Dashun mentioned he could use a fried egg instead, which luckily wouldn't incur an upcharge. I waited about 5 minutes before his co-worker wrapped my bagel sandwich in aluminum foil and placed it in a paper bag. I was expecting a decent sandwich after reading my Yelp friend's review of a different Boss Bagel in San Antonio, but this sandwich didn't do the trick. The bagels weren't really toasted, and they were quite dense for my liking, overpowering the veggies and egg in The Athlete. There is a TV off to the side that shows the process of how they make their bagels, and it looks kind of cool as if they were the #1 bagel shop in the world. Far from it if what I had was indicative of how the rest of their menu really is. I'm almost certain I would have enjoyed the Slammin' Salmon better, but the Athlete was overall a disappointment. If I ever make a return visit, I would be open to trying another bagel sandwich from Boss Bagel, but it would almost certainly be in a location outside of the airport.

    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.

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.)

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.

    Everything on the menu is fully customizable! They had a dog of the day, and even a "plain Jane"…read moredog which is what I got. Super tasty loads of flavor.

Customer service was great, and the cashier was very patient and explain everything to us. We loved the decor- which was very Godfather themed. There are a couple seat in doors, but more seating outside with umbrellas at each table. I highly recommend The Dogfather to anyone who loves hotdogs and great burgers.

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.
