Was in town for work and looked for a good sandwich spot close by and Chunky's popped up. I don't know about you, but I feel like the name would have some good food tied to it, so off I went! When I entered, I was greeted with a great beautiful smile from the cashier, as she was taking someone else's order. I looked through the menu as I decided what I wanted, and she told me about the lunch special they had as well. They're a burger joint and the burgers feel like something you'd get at home, and in the best way possible. Everyone, self included, is on a big smash burger kick, and it's nice to get back to a big juicy burger! This one had all the toppins on it and ordered a side of fries. I opted to sit outside, because they have a great patio area, with a stunning view! After the camera took all it's action, I dug right in. Such a great first, second, third and all the other bites!! The burger was juicy and cooked just to my liking! I loved that the bread was toasted on the bottom of the bun, and not just the inside of the bun, it was a beautiful toasty bun!! The fries were more wedge like, and I like that they were coated and had this nice crispy crunch on them. They were piping hot, which is what I love!!! This will be a regular for me when I'm in town. read more

Happened upon this local gem! A car show was happening in the Peking lot so we stopped in. Old time burger joint vibe with benches and tables, fun metal signs, and kitchen you can see from the front. The workers were so helpful and friendly! And the burgers were to die for!! So much flavor! And it was so big...I won't eat for a couple days! lol read more

First time! A friend told me about Chunky's. Oh my. Great burger, juicy, and so much flavor. No ketchup or mustard needed. First time for that. Prices are reasonable. Very clean, and the staff is so nice. Don't sleep on this spot!! I'll be back. Soon. read more

Good place. Still on hunt for great burger in TX. Ordered medium and it was overcooked. BIGZ still wins in terms of getting order right. It was flavorful however, with so many toppings, how can u tell? If u are looking for unique burger, its great, if you are just wanting a simple true burger- its ok. Onion rings frozen but still good. read more

This burger joint has been a staple of mine since I moved here. I can never get enough. Any time I have someone ask about burger recommendations this is my number one place. The staff is always kind. The restaurant has a very homey feel and the smell is always amazing. read more

Local can be a risk if you don't feel adventurous. If you're willing to take the leap, stop by Chunky's Burgers. They have flavorful 1/2 lb. burgers of various types. Known for their heat, jalapeño, Serrano, habanero, & ghost pepper burgers televised on Man vs. Food. The place was hopping with patrons and the hosting of a car show. The atmosphere is total hangout for car junkies and sports fans. A large covered patio and outside bar makes large gatherings possible. read more

We haven't been back to chunky's in several years. The oldest wanted it. So off we went after church service. I won't make this one terribly long since we didn't order a lot. I had the Monterrey, the midget had a regular cheeseburger, and the oldest minion had the Island burger. We had the chili cheese fries, and frings and frots(half onion rings/ half regular fries). I will start with the negatives this time to change it up. First, I don't like when you order and they say they are out of items. We love the bottle caps, part of the reason we came. Only to be told, "the truck hasn't come in yet?". Then I attempted to order the Tejas bbq burger to then be told they had no bbq for the burger?!?! What a start huh? The food...the chili cheese fries were by far the most disappointing part of the meal. The chili was, ummm, well not very good. As my oldest said, just a slight bit higher than canned. It just had an off flavor to me. Not very appetizing. Then the regular fries had no seasoning. No salt, no pepper, no nothing. Let's get on with what we liked. The burgers were all pretty good. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the buns they used for the burgers were spectacular! Wow. The meat was adequately seasoned and cooked. Very filling and great portion for the price. My Monterrey I felt had waaaay too much guac on it, but other than that it was very good. The guac kind of drowned out the other ingredients from bite to bite. The regular cheeseburger was good too. But my oldest minions island burger was delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and savory! Table fav!!!! The onion rings were also quite good! Is it the best burger joint in town, no, not even close. It's a quality burger, and worth the price. Maybe if they had what we originally wanted it would have been a higher score. Maybe not? read more

Came here to support the 4 horseman challenge. And wowsers, how could one prepare. Hubby and I had the Chunkys special and ate outside in the beautiful weather. Despite the sweat drops from fella eating the super hot burger. Burgers, fries, tots, fried mushrooms we cooked and season to perfection! Sitting outside, we ordered inside and had a seat. Food was delivered timely, and we got our own refills... bottom line service was great. Enjoyed watching the four Horsemen challenge. I mayyyy be next. read more

Besides the food being absolutely delicious, we had incredible service the entire time. Damn good burger. San Antonio classic!

Great burger; ok fries and onion ring, the fries/onion rings burned and oil logged; when cooked correctly they ok

Burger was great! Cheeseburger with jalapenos (talk about spicy), bacon (just the right balance of crispy and limp), lettuce, and onions). So juicy and flavorful. The fries were highly disappointing. Absolutely no seasoning, not even salt. They didn't taste hot or fresh just like eating cardboard unfortunately. Would come back for the burgers but maybe see if they have other sides. read more

So I actually visited the restaurant twice in one week because the jalapeño burger was so good I had to go back. Each time I will say the warm customer service and attention to my experience was top notch.

Besides that I would recommend highly read more

I always enjoy a good burger at this place, they are usually consistent with their burgers but this time my son & I both thought our burgers were very dry. Normally i would give them a solid four stars but today it was more like a weak three stars. This was not the norm, usually they are very juicy and delicious. They were not busy today... we had tots & fries in 5 minutes and burgers in ten minutes. I don't know how they made the burgers so fast if they were so WELL DONE.... Maybe they were precooked I dunno... but they were DRY! Staff is always very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and organized. I really enjoy that they have so many varieties of burgers. Also they have good tots, fries and onion rings. read more

Burgers are huge! Juicy, cooked just right and everything in my burger was fresh and delicious! As soon as we walked in we were greeted at the door with a menu. Service was top notch. They have an outdoor area and indoor with music playing. A cool hangout place. Bike night last Thursday of the month for those motorcyclists. Plus Adam Richman from Man vs Food has visited and eaten here. Highly recommend it!! read more

Staff was very friendly. The food was a good portion, and I had leftovers. Downside it comes a la carte. Not a big deal prices are reasonable, and patties are large. I did order a second patty could be the reason for leftovers, but I also had leftover fries. Will go back again and order the shakes next time. read more

Nice folks. Middle of the road food. I didn't think it was worth the trip out there. Burgers were not as dry as a lot of the recent reviews I had seen posted, so that was a plus. We drove by at least a few places I would prefer the burgers to, compared to this place. read more

Ladies were super friendly, burgers tasted great and knew the place for the four horseman burger challenge on man vs food. Never knew this was where it was filmed. Pretty cool. Real clean hole in the wall vibes. Give it a shot, pretty darn good. read more

This used to be a five star place for me and boy has the attention to detail and quality gone down. The past several times we have ordered from here the burgers are charred and overcooked. And buns are even sometimes burned. I don't want my burger extra extra well done. I gave them several chances and ordered again to see if it was just a fluke (as it used to be soooo good) but I think next time we are going to try a different burger place. Today was probably our last time ordering from here for a while (and we used to order from here a lot) Maybe in a couple more months I'll give them another shot, but for now this has fallen off my favorites list. read more

After the historic winter storm of 2021, cabin fever gotten the best of us and we went out to give the famous Chunky's Burgers a try. Upon arrival place wasn't busy and even offers outdoor seating. We sat down inside due to cool evening out to be at the patio. Our waitress brought out the menu and I ordered the Big Chunky, sounded exotic included bacon strips, queso and onion rings. The onion rings were crisp however the fries weren't anything special. The choice of soda are Pepsi products at this burger establishment. The burgers were great rich and flavorful however the queso was thick and rich. Overall highly recommend the burgers and onion rings here however the service was little lacking as our waitress didn't make many rounds to us where the star falls off. Until next time Chunky's, maybe I'll try the Monterrey Burger! read more

The Big Chunk burger... beef patty was over cooked. Bacon was good. The tiny cup of queso wasn't hot enough to spread and there was too little of it to even make what a normal slice of cheese would have covered. People working there were all very nice. Funny thing was it's got a biker theme/dive bar vibe but they were playing NSYNC. Maybe it was an off night for the cook. Might try it again some other night, but its doubtful. read more

#ThankYouThursday Chunk's Burgers, thank you for bringing great burgers, shakes, and food to the inner loop 410/West side of SA! I've frequented this burger joint for years (even before the Man vs. Food episode) and have always had a great burger. Burger week offering of the Monterey burger was excellent! Ham, white american cheese, and lots of avocado in a half pound burger for only $5!!! Recently with Covid19 going on, Chunky's strives to keep its employees on the payroll and help the local community (first responders, service industry employees out of wages, and people out of work) Support local and eat at Chunky's! read more

Hearing about this place on Food Network built a desire to see, not so much taste, the 4 Horseman of the Apocolypse. No matter what hamburger you get, it will be so tasty and prepared to your liking. They have signature hamburgers that combine unique flavors, leaving you wanting to come back again. The onion rings are amazing, not to mention the fried mushrooms. I'll be back to try some of Chunky's other menu items. Oh, the staff is very friendly and no long waiting to boot. read more

Best burger in SA. Amazingly good. Their bacon on a burger is so delicious. Size of the burgers are large the bread is great too.

Can I say how scared I was originally to eat here? All you hear about is the super hot ghost pepper burger and I'm not into that. But hamburger week made me look at the menu and see many more normal spiced burgers. Again the place chose what burger to feature and here was uncharted for me. Monterrey Burger...two slices of grilled ham, cheese and avocado added to the burger. Ok, I'm ready to try most anything not too spicy but avocado on a burger? So I ordered more back up in case ...fried mushrooms and onion rings. The burger was fantastic and I couldn't eat it all that meal. Saved some of the burger and mushrooms for later. Rings and mushrooms were a little darker than I like but not fatal. The place is a little hard to find but worth turning around and trying again. I am most definitely going back for the burgers and trying other stuff as well read more

I finally made my way here to try one of their burgers. You order and pay at the counter, receive a number to take, and have any seat you like. The staff were all very kind, and they checked on the tables whenever they weren't too busy. I got the zipper burger and mozzarella sticks. It was so so good! You can tell the burgers are cooked to order, and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. There's also a sweet black kitty that hangs around the patio who literally made my experience all the better lol. I'll definitely be back read more

Went for San Antonio Burger week. Fun, funky burger shop. The employees there were very helpful. A lot of choices of different burgers. I got the Monterrey Burger which had a load of fresh avocado and grilled ham, all on a toasted bun. The burger had a great flavor, hamburger maybe wasn't as moist as it could have been but overall very satisfied. Fries are the large cut standard fries, came out hot. Will be coming back to try their spicy hamburgers. Often have specialty deals on a variety of hamburgers. read more

Yum! I tried Chunky's Burgers during San Antonio Burger week and their $5 Hickory BBQ burger did not disappoint. This burger has sweet and spicy bbq sauce, crispy onion rings, bacon and cheese and it is so yummy! I was also a fan of their tater tots and onion rings basket.
