    These burgers were huge!! I heard Chester's is one of the best burger places in San Antonio and I can definitely understand why the ranking is so high. Really good and reasonable price!

    I was in the mood for a burger and was recommended to come here. They were pretty busy. One of the staff came and took a few orders from the line instead of us waiting to get to the counter. When I did get to counter, handed my ticket over and paid. I sat and waited for my food to be ready. They had 2 tvs in the main dining room. It took about 15 minutes. My burger was delicious.

    Talk about a nice old fashioned burger joint. Chester's has that mid 1950s vibe with the food to match. The hostesses were also very sweet and friendly. I tried their double cheeseburger and fries and lemonade. The burger itself was huge and had a good grill flavor to it. The fries were ok. I had to add a little salt to them. Overall, I give this place a 3.5 out of 5. Not the best but definitely good quality still.

    The ladies at the counter were nice and friendly. However, one was writing the order down and the other was putting it in the register. That seemed a little inefficient. No harm, no foul. I ordered a burger well done with everything that comes standard. It looked good, but really seemed to lack seasoning and flavor. Adding lots of ketchup made it a bit better. Same issue with the fries. They were good, but just lacked flavor. The real stars were the onion rings. Super crunchy with a nice flavor. Considering the copious burger options, I'm not sure this one will make the list again.

    I was going to be early to pick up my daughter at the airport, I was hungry so I looked for a place to grab something to go and take it to the cell phone lot. I eat at the Chester's on Pat Booker pretty regularly and it's a solid burger- better than most of the fast food chains. Went in ordered and got my burger fast (they weren't busy). The burger was done perfectly. I wish I would have asked for an extra slice of cheese in hindsight. I absolutely love the poppyseed buns at Chester's. All and all a damn tasty burger...never been disappointed at Chester's.

    This is the a priori Texas burger joint. My smoking hot girlfriend (yeah, we're going strong, eating well, loving life) took me here. It was said that her ancestors loved this joint, and I soon learned why upon entering. Chester's has character and a warmth to it that a lot of modern spots lack. Our service was prompt and good. The prices were utterly reasonable, seeing as the burgers that greeted us were the size of two small cows. The sesame seed buns were delicious, the meat was fresh and juicy, and the onion rings were as all onion rings should be: mostly onion with a bit of breading. I loved my meal. If you're in town, hit up Chester's. It's great.

    Since my last experience this location has made some wonderful changes and improvements! This is how I remember Chester's being as a kid! The staff is wearing gloves now and the cleanliness is top tier again ! The food today was so hot and fresh, I'm so happy to be back in love with this location !

    What a great find! The only reason I walked in here is because it was right next to my hotel. Great to find a small business with a great small town feel in the middle of a big city! The burger and fries were excellent, fresh and made to order! The staff was friendly and helpful when I told him this is my first time here. It definitely won't be my last!

    This was our first time at Chester's after seeing it from the highway for a few years. We were driving by and said why not! Walked in and there was a lot going on! Lots of folks, lots of wall decorations, and some great smells! We didn't know what to do once inside until someone said you order over there lol! When we got to the register the staff was very sweet and explained the entire menu to us! We ordered our food, got drinks and sat down. It's def an older place but it was cool. After a few minutes we got the chili that we ordered, and dang it was burning hot (temperature) but delicious! Lots of flavor, cheese and onions! Our burgers arrived, they were both pretty big and looked great! we also oredered some fries and onion rings! We both thought the burgers were both cooked very well with plenty of toppings, the fries were a bit soft but the onion rings were great! Chester's is about 40 miles from us so if we are passing by and have a hankering for a burger we will definitley stop in! Great atmosphere, good food, and a wonderful staff!

    Burger bar. Kids love their burgers and they really enjoyed their Chester's Bacon Cheeseburgers leaving nothing but the crumbs. At 8pm the location off-Nacodoches was pretty empty. No lines, and plenty of tables. I bet it's different on a Spurs or Cowboys (we'll see you next year) game day. I ordered a chilli dog all the way, a green chile cheeseburger, and some fries... plenty of food. It was good. They were all made to order, so it took more time than fast food to get out. I may want to try a milkshake next time. If you wanted to hang out with friends, this might be a good spot. If you like watching sports, they got plenty of big screens. Staff was friendly and the place was cleaned regularly. Dont overlook this burger joint if that's what you're hankering for.

    Beer, wine and pizza...what's not to love about The Growler Exchange?…read more For those of you who have never been to this amazing business before, The Growler Exchange is a tap room and restaurant which carries a huge variety of unique beers, as well as some of the most delicious pizza you've ever had in your life. I've been a regular at this restaurant for 5 years and I can tell you that quality has stayed the same throughout the years. I also appreciate that they now have a bigger variety of wines and you can also buy beer and wine to-go. If you are looking to try their amazing pizza, their most popular pie (and my husband's favorite) is their Mike's Special which is a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon and topped with honey drizzle. However, if you prefer something spicy (like I do), I highly recommend their Spicy Meat Sweats which is also a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, garlic sausage, pepperoni, salami, bacon and topped with some very spicy chili oil. Hope everyone gets to try this amazing local business, and don't forget to bring your growler with you! PSA for the parents: They do welcome kids, and they even have a changing station in the women's bathroom.

    Great place to watch the Spurs, eat a pizza, grab a beer, or hang out with friends…read more Large selection of beer, small selection of bites. Plenty of tvs for Spurs watching. Patio. Small and intimate.

It has a large outdoor area with picnic tables, fans and water misters. There was one family that was letting their kids run like crazy so we sat inside. It's a bit warm- lots of windows with odd setup. It is counter service- so you order and they deliver. They have beer, a few wine and cider. We were on the fence overall but then my husband tasted his beer- 5/5. And the food came out: pizza 5/5 (probably the best pizza I've had in SA) and smoked turkey sandwich (whoa! Smokey but not over smoked where you are burping the taste hours later) with fries 5/5 (crisp, seasoned perfectly). We will definitely be back and so should you. You should try it now.

I think the reason I didnt "love" the pizza is because its so different with the sourdough base and not what i am used to. I would like to return and try a sandwich or something else on the menu. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. My main reason for trying out wild barley was because they have sour beers, it wasnt the best sour beer i have ever had, but i have noticed in Texas the sour beers have a strange taste to them that i cant quite put my finger on. Overall though it was refreshing and cold. my husband really enjoyed the cider. We will be back and i hope after trying something different on the menu to change my review to 5 stars,

Although the locale is humble/industrial, once inside, Ranger Creek has a brewery/distillery vibe that is welcoming, relaxing, and just works.

The Texas Landmark mesquite smoked bourbon was my favorite and well suited to both sipping and high end Old Fashioneds. Is Ranger Creek as good as Garrison? No, but it was better than we expected and the location was convenient Service: Very pleasant, good service Value: Good value, especially the Friday happy hour offering $5 Old Fashioneds.
