    Absolutely phenomenal! I love Chester's so much! I've never visited this location however it was just as consistent and fantastic as the rest. Our food came out quickly and it was fresh, hot, and delicious. I love the simplicity of Chester's, it doesn't take a whole lot to be spectacular. This is my go-to for a solid burger. The man who took our order Gabe was humorous and kind when catering to us. The restaurant itself was nice and tighty without a bit of trash or filth in sight. Will definitely recommend!

    Still a GREAT hamburger. Still a GREAT place to visit and sit in the dining area. Service is great and accommodating. I have a babes burgers secs from the house. I would MUCH rather drive further to CHESTERS!!!

    The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The memorabilia displayed was amazing. As soon as we entered we made our order and were able to choose where to sit. Our food was cooked to order and came out quick. Our burgers were excellent and mouth watering. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone asking for a great place to eat!!!

    DOUBLE CHEESE (cross section)

    LOCATION: Super convenient, right off IH-10 on the Northside of the Tone. Parking lot is a medium size, and you shouldn't have an issue. Inside, Chester's is basically your average hole-in-the-wall burger joint. That makes it predictable, but also pretty welcoming and comfortable, which is a great thing in my book. FOOD: Burgers. They're great. That's the only thing I've had there honestly. I can't go there and not get one. It's pretty much everything you need. My go to is a double cheese and it's always great. Meat, which is my number one element, is well-seasoned, pretty moist but not too greasy, and delicious. They cheese and buns are awesome. They don't grill their jalapeños or onions, which I'd prefer, BUT it does give the burger a fresher, less heavy feel. That might be to your liking, but it's personal preference. Finally on burgers, they are BIG. Portions are Texas-size for sure. Fries are good, and I like that they aren't super crispy, but more potato and not too greasy. I would prefer more seasoning on the fries, but they are good nonetheless. Rings are solid too. DRINKS: Good beer selection! They have specials too, so that's a good incentive to try different things. OVERALL: Chester's is an awesome burger place. It's one I could come back to over and over. If you haven't, you gotta try it.

    Bad customer service ruins everything. Our visit today (01/17/2026) around 3 PM ish was disappointing because of how the staff member (cashier) interacted with us. No warmth, no basic courtesy, and it completely killed our expectations of the place. Won't be coming back. Management should really pay attention to their employees, because service like this is how businesses lose customers.

    Onion rings and fries
    Priscilla B.

    This is a burger joint you won't want to miss! Highly recommended by San Antonio locals. Simple menu. I was impressed by the beer selection! Not to mention the shakes! Yummy yummy! I splurged my first visit. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Really appreciated the service. A young man came to our table and offered us refills. It gets busy during lunch. However, lots of seating.

    Fresh hand cut (skin on) fries.. alongside a poppy seed cheeseburger ... yummy

    Well.. it's Wed 12/17/25 & I've returned to discover Chester's on IH 10 finally got around to replace a new grill, hood, fryer in their designated kitchen area for all customers to witness food preparation.. yippee. Great job only having to wait a couple a years ;) Plenty of parking outside. The Dining room area was pleasantly decorated with a clean appearance & plenty of seating available at 3pm. Ordered a single cheeseburger (grilled medium) comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle & mustard on a toasted poppyseed bun which was huge 5 1/2" diameter compared to other burger establishments. Also had onion rings & large drink with free refills at $16.76 being reasonable. Tasted great. They also have a good selection of beers including my favorite the oldest American domestic beer Yuengling Flight. They had numerous courteous staff attending to various duties. Pleasant experience & will return for another one of their great big poppyseed bun cheeseburgers ! Thank you Chester's for providing great food nearby.

    The green chili cheeseburger. Pretty good, though don't take photos inside Chester's or they'll yell at you!
    Michael B.

    Pretty standard fast-food patty but great melted cheese, and I'm lovin' that poppy-seed bun. Green chili is good too, though it surprised me that it didn't arrive on the burger - it comes in a little plastic container which you then add over the top. Not gonna complain, it was delish. Cool looking place, though you better not take a photo of it! I tried taking a shot of the just-opened restaurant interior, making sure that no one was in the shot. One of the employees yelled at me, "YOU CAN'T TAKE PICTURES IN HERE!" No idea why, but I apologized and deleted my shot. So...service with a Texas smile? Three stars for the food, one for the welcoming attitude. Average it out, and this place scores a 2 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.

    I am a huge burger lover and it's very hard for me to say when a burger is a five out of five stars. This hands-down has to be some of the top five best burgers I've had in my life. It was so good. My coworker and I had to come back twice as we were on a work trip and ate here two days in a row for lunch. This will absolutely be a must go spot when I'm back in San Antonio again.

    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.)

It tasted great and it made me excited to come back and try the other options they have! The curly fries were also seasoned well and very crisp. They might've been a bit understaffed because there was no one at the register when I walked in so I had a wait a minute or two before receiving service. But when she took my order and gave us our food she was super nice. The food also didn't take long to come out either. I very much enjoyed the outdoor area I sat at with my friends. The cars driving by were a bit loud but my friends and I still enjoyed our time and the flowers around the area were very pretty. Highly recommend and I need to come back here!!

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!
