used to be the best 'go to' for thin onion rings. went yesterday..$14 for two orders. are you kidding? I'm fairly certain the onions weren't even peeled. most burned. I hate doing it myself but guess that's the only option now. thinly slice the onions, soak in milk put the flour and maybe panko in a bag and shake shake shake. after this fry away. I don't have an air fryer but it might work. also any breaded onions are easily frozen. leave the salt and spices till after they are done. read more

Is this place under new management? Or should I say mismangement? Fries were cold. Ordered charbroiled chicken wrap w/basalic vinagerette, but they made it with ranch dressing. Loaded with about 3 times the daily allowance for salt. Save your money and don't waste it here. read more

We were excited to try a good Jims burger. It was fair. Small burger, looked like a frozen patty. That was fine, nothin exciting. Bun was not warmed up. Onion rings were great and so was the customer service. read more

Food was amazing I loved the food service was great ambiance was the best Valerie was the best I hope she sees this read more

We are huge fans of Frontier Burger but our latest visit actually came with some disappointment. It was a carry out order and when we got home, we saw this sticker on both of the side gravy containers. For the avoidance of doubt, it was Friday evening. read more

Frontier Burger - "Prepped Sunday, Discard Thursday." - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

So I waited in the drive thru and mind you there is no one ahead of me or behind me, waited 9 min I said Hello twice and nothing figured they were busy so I pulled up to the window and not one but 2 male employees and a male manager kept walking by looked at me didn't even come to the window to ask me if I needed help or anything. We even made eye contact and still nothing so after waiting another 5 min at the window I said F it and drove off and went to whataburger where I was waited on and got my order in less time. Absolutely ridiculous! Bad customer service and for a manager to not even acknowledge you was even worse! read more

Frontier burger is a local burger joint that serves chargrilled, made to order burgers in a fast food setting. The staff was courteous and friendly, and the line moved fairly quickly considering the food is made when ordering. The food was good and plentiful, and it was nice to have an option of fries or mac n cheese (but unsure if there was an upcharge for this) Kids burger was a fair size and the mac and cheese was a decent amount (3-4oz) and quite delicious. The freshly squeezed lemonade was tart and slightly sweet, nice change of pace from premixed soda-type lemonades. Meal price unknown since it was not on the menu. The $8 bacon cheeseburger was hefty, tasty, and very filling and the 2 slices of bacon were thick cut and cooked crispy. The chargrilled flavor was present in the juicy patty, but the taste of onions dominated the burger. The small diced onions plus watery mayo made for a onion, milky mess when eating. My biggest issue with the meal was the price of the 2 meals from a fast food type burger place. Ummm $21.18 for a bacon cheeseburger meal and a kids burger meal seemed a excessive considering the local burger options and pricing in SA. I wish I could break down the charges, but I did not receive an itemized receipt nor asked for one. I think it's $2-3 more to make the burgers into a meal... I'm glad I tried it out to support the local economy but won't return as the prices are too high and there are better options around town. read more

Frontier Burger is definitely one of the best fast food burger places I have ever eaten. Honestly, I don't know how they are not rated 5 stars on Yelp. everything we ordered came out hot fresh and delicious, The portions were large the facility was clean and the staff was on point but the best part is they are relatively inexpensive compared to others in the same fast food bracket when considering portion size and quality. Essentially the way it works is you pick your burger, chicken sandwich, chicken wrap Etc. and then for $2 you can make it a combo with your choice of side and drink. I recommend the freedom rings which is a combination of fries and onion rings. why 5 stars and not JL foodie certified: only dined in once I need to be a repeat customer to ensure quality consistency and integrity. *Poor *Decent *Good *great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food: Best. Service: Great. Cleanliness: Best Value. Best: Best I realize I'm a food snob, I eat out regularly some weeks 3 to 4 times which in my opinion makes me a bit of an expert on food, service, quality etc. I say it how I see it and I usually will give restaurants at least three chances before I give up on them and in some cases, after some time has passed I revisit the restaurants to see if anything is changed and my reviews reflect that change. read more

I love myself a good burger, and Frontier doesn't disappoint. The burgers tasted like a burger is supposed to, the tomato and pickles and lettuce was fresh, not wilted and old. The best part of it all was the employees. You can have a good product with bad employees and it will ruin your experience, but not here. The employees were friendly and helpful, you don't get that too often. This is a to go place for me. The pies were also very good. read more

First timer... no lemonade, sad face... and the burger wasn't cooked all the way. Tastes like Burger King. Very good onion rings. Those were the highlight and the reason I'd return. read more

Frontier Burger - Hamburger (not cooked all the way thru) - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First of all let me say I haven't even touched a burger from here but if they are as good as the chicken strips, I'm sold!! The chicken strips are always freshly made. Freedom rings are a great combo of fries and onion rings for the person like me who wants a bit of both. The apple pie is DELICIOUS!! I keep coming back read more

Always good food. The service is good but occasional they do slow down a bit. Always clean inside too.

Extremely delicious char grilled burger for a relatively affordable price. Dessert is a must, and the service was very friendly.

My wife is a burger gal who has been telling me about Frontier burgers being great tasting because they're char-grilled. She is right of course and we've been to the Frontier burger several times over the past 2 years of the pandemic. In summer 2020, we ventured out to eat at Frontier, and mind you, they delivered the food to our car after ordering on the phone. That was the time nobody was venturing out to eat at restaurants. We craved to eat a burger so we went to Frontier. Fast forward to spring 2021. We ordered the burgers and took them home because we were not comfortable eating inside. This year, 2022, we've been there twice in the past 6 weeks and we actually celebrated our 2nd booster shot by going to Frontier burger. We sat down to eat and although they weren't that many people inside, at least we got to eat inside for a change. Their burgers are still tasty and the onion rings and fries are hot when they get to you. The music is a bit loud but since they play oldies for the oldies, I guess it's appropriate. As one gets older, the hearing kind of goes with it. I digress - but Frontier burger is a must-visit place for us. They give In n Out a run for their burger money! read more

Charbroil burgers here are deelish but a bit pricy. Their burgers are always good and fresh (cause fresh is so fresh)

What has happened to this place?? Once was the best place around for charbroiled burgers. Came inside on a Saturday afternoon around dinner time. Not one car in the lot. From outside place looked to be closed since you couldn't see any lights on inside. One car pulled into the drive thru so figured it was open. Manager was scruffy and unkempt. Dirty shirt. Acted strange all evening. Something was off with him. Hated that he brought our trays out with his unshaven scruffy beard! 2 burgers, one rings and two drinks were $32.00!! Rings were cold. Someone needs to pay attention to what is going on in this once prized burger joint. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

It's been a while since we have been there. In the past we payed around $18.00 for two hamburger combos. Today, $25.00. I think they took the combo value away and charged retail for each item. Like the food...think they have become pretty aggressive on their approach! read more

Normally, Frontier Burger is awesome, but idk what happened Sunday afternoon. We went through the drive thru & ordered a #1 & #2 both with rings. We got home within 10 minutes of receiving our order, but the onion rings were a big soggy mess, both orders. They were cold and oily. They weren't separated when put into the fryer, so we got several of those clumped up rings. We ate a few, but they just weren't good. Plus, there was no ketchup or napkins in the bag. I mean, the burgers are good, as is the customer service, but the rings are what we go for. We we're very disappointed this time, especially, because we paid more than $25 for our order. read more

2nd time we've tried. Burger exactly opposite of what I ordered. Both our burgers cold in the middle. Onion rings have no seasoning whatsoever. Way overpriced. read more

What a great place. Talk about clean. We're sitting here watching one of the workers remove the seats to vacuum under the seats. Never see that in other restaurants. Order the cheeseburger and fries. The burger was really good. Reminded me of a old town burger. Simple and good. You will not be disappointed by this restaurant. read more

The food is great. Love that they serve breakfast now. My one complaint... why am I signing at the drive up window with an option for a tip? What am I tipping for at a window? Just take my payment without a signature like every other drive through please! read more

I really like the food. BBQ and cheese hamburger. Good crispy, thin onion rings. However the drive thru keeps making mistakes. Today it was no ranch dressing and a melted plastic cover for the onion rings. read more

Frontier Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food is as good as it ever was. The staff however, needs to get their act together. Maybe it's because it's still so new, but they seem very unorganized. They call out your number and ask you to raise your hand so they can deliver your order. The worst however, is how slick the new, pretty wood floors are. They need to be roughed up a little or put some sort of rubber or other non-sliding material on the bottom of the chair legs. You Need to be very careful sitting down or the chair will slide out from under you. A drive-through is also present. Lots of people in that line. 03/23/19 We walk in. One customer is at the counter. Don't know if he's ordered yet. One couple is in the dining room. It sounds like there's a party going on in the kitchen. One of the workers looks out at us and returns to the kitchen. No acknowledgement at all. We leave after a few minutes and go to Chester's. If you've read my Chester's review, you know how well that went. Not. It wasn't our night for a burger. Well, maybe just for bad ones. read more

I've never tried frontier Burger before, but was in the mood for a charbroil burger. Read a lot of reviews, viewed the pros and cons and went anyway yesterday, December 1. Am I glad that I did. Despite what some people were talking about cold burgers, etc. from the moment, I walked in and walked up to the counter with my friend, Tyrique - hope I spelled that right, young man, greeted, took his time with us, answered any questions we had, and then took our orders, gave us our number and we went to get our drinks and find a table. It wasn't long before they delivered our burgers, fries and onion rings to us. I had the double patty mushroom burger my friend had the regular cheeseburger with fries. I had the onion rings. Food was on point, delicious, charbroil to perfection, exactly what you want to have in the way of a charbroil burger and it's accompaniment. I left that restaurant stuff to the gills, totally satisfied and very happy that I went there. I will be going back regularly. So for you naysayers, I regret that your visits weren't comparable to mine, but let me tell you, for those of you that are of the charbroiled elk, frontier burger will not disappoint. Tyrique and all, thank you for the wonderful service and food you gave me yesterday. I appreciate you very very much. Happy holidays, everyone. By the way, the restaurant was exceptionally clean the tables, clean, and again the food amazing. read more

I am a long time customer of this place. In fact, I was their very first customer when it opened up. As the years have gone by this place has gotten worse and worse and my visits have lessened. In fact, after today, I doubt if I'll be coming back. They are overpriced if you compare their prices to comparable places like Whataburger. But what is really disappointing, and always has been, is how soggy the buns become as soon as you start eating the burgers. The buns actually start to break apart and very quickly you've got yourself a mess. You don't have this problem with the buns at Jim's Restaurants. The meat seems to be less seasoned than in the past and the charcoal flavoring isn't there any more. The fries are crinkle type fries which are substandard. I wish their fries would be the better type that are served at Jims Restaurants. My suggestion is that if you want a burger meal skip this place and go to a Jim's Restaurant. read more

Very soggy buns. It was messy and not even sure if the flavor was there because I was so put off by the mess from the sogginess. Nobody wants to eat a burger with a wet bun The bun fell right apart while I was attempting to eat it. It grossed me out but I was hungry Additionally the menu wasn't very clear.. didn't know if i was spending $8 on the burger itself or the meal. I thought it came with fries & a drink, and when i got to the window it was $13! WAY overpriced for a burger this bad. Whataburger is a far better and more consistent location in my opinion. read more

Ordered for 6 people. Order was wrong for 3 items. Fries & onion rings tasted like fish and burnt oil. Also ordered a cherry pie which tasted like fish. Very disappointing. Bad oil shows a lack of caring for the food and customer. You lost a customer. read more

The burgers have a wonderful charcoal flavor and are a good ¼ size even after cooking. The staff was very friendly. The only disappointment was the fries, which were kind of cold and seemed undercooked. Overall it didn't take away from the goodness of the burger though. read more

Charcoal broiled patties, 1/3lb of 100% American Beef. Their burger combos (includes fries and drink) are about $7-$9. You can sub onion rings instead for an additional charge. They have 3 speciality burgers: patty melt, Texas double and the mushroom burger. I had to try the mushroom burger and it did not disappoint. Although it's sloppily made (the cheese being on one side of the burger) and I wished they threw on more mushrooms, the burger (cooked medium) was delish! If you are a fan of Burger King's charbroiled burgers (but also prefer them cooked medium), you'll love Frontier's. People rave about their onion rings. I would say they're not bad. I am not a fan of onion rings, but I prefer Frontier's thinly sliced rings better than the thick cut ones like other places. They also serve chicken sandwiches, salads, shakes & dessert. Food is good. Service with a smile and full of energy. I like that. One thing though--maybe add sauces for dipping instead of just ketchup? read more

So this is the burger place started by the Jim's Restaurant franchises. it's near Broadway at 410 right next to the Jim's Restaurant. I got the junior Frontier Burger which was $3 and about the size of a slider. I was not impressed at all, with the burger being very dry and flavorless. Someone told me I should have gotten the double meat original Frontier Burger, but they also suggested that same Burger can be gotten at the regular Jim's Restaurants and there they are more juicy. everyday I passed this place I can smell that char grill smoke from a thousand yards away. There's just something about something cooked over flame broiled charcoal that makes a difference. As far as the quality of the meat this was about the same as Burger King and I love me a Whopper. The frontier Burger is only about a third of a pound and cost almost $6. I just don't see this worth it for the quality I'm getting and the dryness of the meat. I may go into the regular Jim's where I can get the big burger and drink a cup of coffee in a diner atmosphere. That being said you absolutely must get their shoestring onion rings with the homemade house sauce that's like a Miracle Whip sandwich dressing. Those shoestring onion rings when freshly fried will make you think of them 3 days later. I couldn't get enough of that sauce, and by the way when I get my hamburger I'm going to put extra house sauce on it. read more

It's been years since I've had a frontier burger. This is my second time coming to this location. This time it was at night and it was fairly empty. First impressions that come to mind are : smells like BBQ but looks like an old log cabin / diner with old music playing. I would say it might have been a confusing time back then or the designer hasn't left the 70s. Both visits were about the same. The cashiers were friendly and repeated the orders back correctly. I ordered the frontier burger combo the first time with onion rings and when I received my food I had 1/2 fries and 1/2 onion rings. My second time I ordered the single patty burger but modified it with the frontier sauce and cheddar cheese. This time when I ordered onion rings , I received lots of onion rings. I would say it was a cave of onion rings. Please see the picture attached. The taste of the burger and fries were great. Hot burger that took longer than other orders after mine. I had hot onion rings that were crunchy and very tasty. My drink from the soda fountain both visits didn't seem to have enough carbonation. I don't know but it seemed a bit flat to me. It's a quirky kind of lunch/dinner for me. It's kind of far away. It's different and tastes different than other places so that is why I give it a 3.5 to 4.0 star. The price is right where it doesn't gouge you and you get a good meal. read more

Now this spot is where you want to be. I have a lot of tasty items a try & the customer service was pretty good. I devoured this chili cheese fries. Made from scratch all beef chili with chunks of brisket. It's the bomb . I also enjoyed the delicious crispy chicken wrap. It's bigger than you'd expect. Lastly, I can't leave without dessert so I gave the made from scratch apple turnover & lactose free ice cream a try. Everything was delicious with great customer service. read more

The restaurant itself is nice. This is the second time I've purchased a burger there. The first time was shortly after they opened. The burger seemed rather bland and the price seemed rather high. I figured maybe it was an off day or maybe I was imagining it being so unimpressive, so I dismissed it. Today, I was in the area and decided to try it again, so I picked up a chili cheesburger combo to go. You can hardly tell the burger is charbroiled. Again, the patty had no taste and the chili was very bland. The meal deal ended up being around $11 and change. That's a lot for a meal deal. I should have stuck with Dairy Queen's Chilburger meal deal. This restaurant also only had de-caffeinated rootbeer. I couldn't believe it. Why de-caffeinated? I always like to get rootbeer with my hamburgers, so this was also a big disappointment. This is definitely the last time I buy a hamburger from this restaurant. read more

I'm not sure why in the world this place has only 3*. It's amazing! The vibe inside is easy. The customer service is exceptional for a burger joint. If something isn't right they fix it. The onion rings are Uh-may-zing! They get those right every time. The burgers are a flavor unlike anything else. They taste like they were made outside-at home. Beware the Frontier Burger tho. If you're going to get that bad boy you better come with your I haven't eaten in 3 days, appetite!! No joke. It may not seem like much but once you get half way thru you'll be wondering why you didn't think it thru a little better. No room for dessert after that one for sure. So keep an open mind and just remember. You're going on for a great burger. Not a 5* steak!! read more

If you are old enough to have gone to the Frontier Burgers of old, you are very lucky indeed. Chili cheese burger is epic! Freedom rings, fries and rings combo, can't be beat. The onion rings are cut so thinly and are so crispy, I can't stop eating them. The crinkle cut fries are like nowhere else. Absolutely delicious. My husband gets The Frontier Burger and enjoys that every time. He also likes the apple pie. I pass on that cause it's a little too greasy for my taste, plus I'm already usually full with the main event. Big plus-they have Big Red on the fountain! Oh, and great music (oldies) if you eat there. We have also taken it to go when the place is packed and ate at a nearby park. read more
