    Giant cheeseburger with side of onion rings and munchers
    Carly V.

    Nice greasy burger with soft bun. Fresh and tasty. I get my burger without mustard and onions add mayo and came out perfect! I got the onion rings which weren't overpowering. I also tried the munchers which weren't too flavorful, but chocolate shake was also a hit with the family. Nice clean and quick service. Restrooms were clean and all the kids working were quick and had excellent customer service. Definitely recommend.

    This is the #4 triple meat cheeseburger combo triple meat #4

    Giant Cheeseburger

    I watched a few youtube videos raving about this must try San Antonio south side staple, and was very curious to see why it had such great reviews. I checked it out for lunch, and immediately when you walk in you're welcome back into the 1960s, which is pretty cool. The list of prices were very reasonable too, $8.50 for a giant cheeseburger meal with fries and large soda! I tried the giant cheeseburger. Presentation wise I wasn't too impressed, my cheeseburger looked a bit smushed. But the real show stopper was the taste. I was surprised the burger patty had a crispy-ness to it and it was so delicious I inhaled my burger giant burger. The bun may have looked flat but it was so soft and delicious as well. It had all the classic toppings - american cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles. The staff were very friendly, the service was fast and they stopped by to make sure we were happy with our meal, which was a nice surprise at a fast food spot. Glad I got to experience the nostalgia this place brings to many, and can't wait to come back for this cheeseburger. Overall great value, fast service, and a delicious cheeseburger with a nostalgic feel.

    Some friends invited me to an early lunch at Griff's. I was a bit skeptical given its location and appearance but was pleasantly surprised by the burger. Food: Good, old fashioned double cheeseburger. Flavor of the meat patties was above average and everything was fresh. Overall a good burger. Fries were extremely over salted. Ambiance: Old, rather rustic fast food ambiance Service: order at counter, pickup when ready, fairly prompt preparation of burgers Overall cleanliness: Below average. The floors were freshly mopped, but the mopping left a slippery residue everywhere. Ketchup stains were visible on the furniture and at least one column. Bathroom cleanliness: average Why 3 stars? A clean restaurant is a safe restaurant. If the visible portions of a restaurant are clearly dirty and not maintained, it's safe to assume the less visible areas including the kitchen are equally dirty or worse.

    I've driven by this place for years and just now stopped in. It's your typical mom and pop burger place. Small inside but clean and spacious. The burgers were delicious and so were the fries. They're always busy but will refill your drink asap. Definitely a good spot to get a home made type burger.

    Fast service great burgers! Atmosphere was very laid back and perfect for a quick burger! Absolutely coming back again! Triple giant cheeseburger wasn't too big 4.5 out of 5! Fries are small side (McDonald's size compare) 3.8 out of 5 onion rings were okay nothing great 3 out of 5.

    Great service great food and not a bad ambience. The place seems like a hole in the type of place usually places like this have great food and let me tell you this place didn't disappoint, saw a long line in drive thru and constant people going in had to stop and try . Burgers taste great fries great and is like a traditional homemade burger a very well made one I'd recommend try it out if you like home style burgers. Definitely will go back.

    Triple me triple cheese with chili and bacon buns toasted both sides.

    I walk in and I'm not greeted I go up to the counter to order and the girl tells me what do you want and I told her I want to order a triple meat triple cheese with bacon and chili and an extra french fry and my buns toasted both sides. She puts my order in and I weighed about 10 minutes for my order to come out. I get my burger and french fries and it's delicious best burger I've had in San Antonio french fries were awesome everything was nice and fresh. If you don't mind attitude from the workers that take your order in the front and a couple of hickeys on their neck lol. This place is for you very good food and burgers.

    Excited to see what all the rumble is about.

    We were told that this was one of San Antonio's best old fashion burger joints. The local news channel NEWS4SA gave this place the " San Antonio Blue Plate for the "WEAK" award. I think they must have been seriously mistaking.... #news4sanantonio When we pulled into the parking lot the drive-thru was at least 20 cars deep. We opted to go inside for the Full Monty. Initial impressions walking it... definitely a community treasure but nothing fancy... fairly clean, it was a full house. Every table occupied with people eating. There was no line at the cashier but it looked like chaos behind the counter with sandwiches, and about 20 prefilled cups of sodas. We Ordered: Griff's Double Giant combo with Large Soda and Large fry. Cheese burger and side of onion rings Total price - $15.99 (very reasonable price) The Double Giant burger was decent, the meat reminded me of the pre made patties we use to eat as a kid... when there wasn't much money and moms wasn't concerned about the quality of the meat. Surprisingly my burger was very decent size, flavor, preparation and price. The bottom bread of the cheese burgers bun was so hard it COULD NOT be eaten...its was like a ROCK! (Im not exaggerating). It was so hard I could not break it with my two hands. Onion rings were extremely over cooked, burnt, oily! French fries were okay. Soda was flat as expected because as orders came in they prepared the drinks w/ ice and placed on the counter until the rest of the order was completed. I noticed that the warming lights and table in between the kitchen and the cashier was not working; so they placed the prepared burgers on top of it. The kitchen looked small and there was total chaos back there. I can not imagine what the Blue plate judges would have to say right now; obviously they visited this place when they were closed or had very little busy. Outside seating was dark, the lighting was very low and it did not feel safe to eat outside. This was not the worse restaurant that I have visited, but I see absolutely no purpose for me to ever return to this place again. If this is news4sanantonio.com standard for QUALITY, we will never follow another one of their recommendations for "Blue Plate Awards" #news4sanantonio "SAN ANTONIO - Its motto is quality food and speedy service, but now can add squeaky clean kitchen to that list. Griff's Hamburgers is the winner of this week's Blue-Plate Award."
