The MOST DISAPPOINTING AND OVERPRICED "burger" I've ever had!
Just got back from eating at this particular food truck at Alamo Eats, and not only because every other food truck there was sold out, but I was really in the mood for a good burger. After placing my order for a bacon cheeseburger, I was charged $8 (which DID NOT include and fries or drink for your information)!
At first, I thought it was just ridiculously overpriced, but then I found out that it normally WOULD have included an order of fries. However, since they were out of fries by 9:00 pm (how is that even possible?!), I was NOT given any fries, BUT I WAS STILL CHARGED FOR THEM!!! WHAT?!!!
As other reviews have noted, the service is in fact terrible. The man/cook/owner was very unfriendly, flippant, dismissive, and completely uninterested in whether I wanted to place an order. Then, he had the audacity to ask what kind of tip I wanted to add to the total! Before the order was placed, before the "burger" was made, before I had the chance to determine whether he even DESERVED a tip or not, he had already asked for one, HA!
I had to wait about 7 minutes for my order. The wait wasn't the worst part of the experience, especially since most people were also getting burgers (as I said, everything else was already sold out). I was just anxiously awaiting my "burger", hoping that it would be as satisfying as any sandwich that costs $8 very well better be.
When heading to pick up my burger, I was wary of its appearance as I could barely see the patty at all. I was about 20 feet away, so I thought, "Maybe it's just because I'm so far away from the burger". Sadly, this was not an optical illusion, the burger was about 10% meat and 90% bun! This wouldn't be such a big deal if these "freshly" made buns were actually any good. But it was somehow incredibly greasy on top and still really dry and stale at the same time. I'm guessing it was baked several hours before and the "cook" threw it on the very greasy grill just to heat it up and cover up how stale it already was. After the first bite, I found the meat in the burger was just as disappointing. The patty was pathetically small and tasteless yet somehow, still VERY GREASY! I thought, "At least I have some bacon to look forward to..."
However, after biting into the "burger", I wondered where my bacon was; I couldn't even see any bacon from the outside. Even a run-of-the-mill, fast food burger will have some bacon peeking out the sides of the sandwich. Most of all, I paid $8 for this "burger", so I better get the bacon I paid for, right?!
So, I opened up the burger and didn't see any bacon! But, what I DID find was SO MUCH WORSE! There was a very small lump near the center of the patty very cleverly concealed under the cheese. I lifted up the cheese and found about ten small, white squares underneath that looked almost like onions. I looked closer and realized that these were large chunks of bacon FAT! Not a single piece of bacon or morsel of meat, ONLY FAT!!!
My only regret is not taking a picture of this outrage so I could have attached it to this review for everyone to see. But I was just in such utter disbelief that it never even occurred to me to document this. It was a completely unbelievable and deceitful ploy to con me out of my bacon! Just as I had been conned out of the fries that I was also charged for, but never received!
I never post reviews about food, even if I'm not very happy with my experience; it just doesn't seem worth my time. But I was just SO disgusted and SO disappointed by my whole experience at Attaboy's, I had to say something.
I still can't believe that I dished out $8 for this joke of a sandwich, but please heed my warning and think twice before you ever eat at Attaboy's, you will be SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED! I have a very strong feeling that most of the glowing reviews on here where written by people who weren't exactly sober when they ate their food because I still can't even believe how awful my experience was.
There are so many great burger joints in San Antonio that are far beyond Attaboy's, not just in customer service, but in quality, meal size and price. So save yourself the trouble and go to Chester's or Armadillo's or Chris Madrid's instead. Seriously, ANYWHERE ELSE! Honestly, even Whataburger is better than this place because at least you can get a double cheeseburger, fries and a drink for LESS than what I paid for my pathetic and disappointing excuse for a "burger"!
NEVER AGAIN!!! read more
