    Hamburger ordered the basic
    Jacqueline J.

    I stopped by Burger Boy on the way to a Spurs game to avoid the $30 burgers at the Arena. I enjoyed the experience overall. The big, juicy patty was decent and tasted fresh, flavorful, and not greasy. Service was also impressively fast, which made it a great option for a quick bite in San Antonio on the way to the game. Everything about the restaurant, from the setup to the ordering flow seemed like a good set up, but the meal itself for the burger and fries was simply decent, not mind-blowing. As a veteran, I was a little disappointed by the lack of a military discount, especially considering how many great and affordable food options there are around the city. With so many strong choices in San Antonio, future stops here for me may be few and far between, but it's still a solid spot when you're craving a quick, well-made burger.

    Trying them out!

    Came here to try their burger for the first time. Wasn't too impressed with the double patty, lettuce, tomato and no onions. Burger had no taste and mainly tasted plain even with the condiments that I added. The patty were small and even thought I ordered double patty because I was hungry, didn't finished it due to patty tasting like they were cooked on water...no taste nor flavor despite adding ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard! The only thing that I think was decent was the fries (portion was small and the medium lemonade). Service was good and explained the ordering process and various burgers option. The guy took the time to explained to me the menu since I informed him that it was my first time visiting Burger Boys establishment. The ambient was good and place looked cleaned inside and tables. Unfortunately, this was my first and last time at one of these Burger Boy establishment until they serve tasteful burgers. But the fries were okay.

    They have the most delicious milkshakes!! I must have one 3-4 times a week. Even though it's not pictured, I also got the Fish Sandwich and Fries which was also very good! The customer service is always great and the service is prompt.

    The hamburgers were cooked perfectly. Very moist with all the fixings. Tge frues were very tasty not too salty. No line to order and sat where we wanted. It's your standard burger joint, service was great, and burgers were good.

    Second time eating Burger Boy and the first time it was just mid. This time and location made it better. The guy that took our order, Louis, did a great job representing Burger Boy. Definitely tastes a lot like Whataburger but much better milkshakes. Great job, Louis!

    The new storefront.

    This newly opened outlet of Burger Boy is delightful on multiple levels. Fast service, clean dining area, and hot food. I find Burger Boy's singles to be a little skimpy so get the 'Working Man's' Combo with a double patty and you're good. Piping hot fries, and even a light, airy environment a million miles away from a grimy old McD's or Burger King. Yeah, give me this any day of the week! This place scores a 5 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.

    Just another average burger joint. It wasn't bad, but it wouldn't be my top choice to enjoy a nice juicy burger. My large fry was comparable to a small fry, left me wanting more. Little pricey for what it is.

    Double cheeseburger from the working man special. So much bigger than I expected. Delicious!
    Pamela N.

    The food was hot and fresh made to order. You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients and the special I got was fair in this economy. It was the best burger I've had in a while.

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.

    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.

    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.

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!
