    Gyro Greek Wrap Combo Lunch
    Jasmine L.

    Went to get lunch here during the week after reading about the Gyro lunch special. It was cool to see at this place also had to drive-through, but we opted to dine in to get the full experience. The food was not the best in my opinion. The Gyro lacked a lot of meat, and the sauce was very runny and dripped all over the plate. The lettuce and tomatoes were drenched in sauce. The french fries were very salty, too salty for my taste. Not a lot of options for drinks so I opted to get the unsweet tea, which was good. There's also a fee for credit cards. The employee at the front could have been a little more welcoming. He was very blunt when we asked questions. The inside of the store is very simple and not so clean. There were flies when we were eating. Overall, would not come back.

    33 Nasty olives on 1 gyro
    Alan ..

    No no no hell no to infinity. San Antonio what the hell are you doing. I come from a city that's known for gyros and not even Greek. Who puts OLIVES ON GYROS. Maybe 5 would've been okay, I still would've picked them off but you put 33 !!!! I counted and have the picture ! Removing them removed a whole ass layer of the gyro, there was more olives than meat! And the meat wasn't even that good ! And that's the only part I could eat ! The pita became soggy and gross from all the olive juice, barely any tzatziki sauce and where's the onion ! This is just BAD and over priced

    These use to be steak fries. Now they are burnt fries. Burnt fish. I want my money back.

    this place has gone to shit. Gyros use to be one of my favorite fish places to go to. i hadn't been there for over 2 years. I decided to go today to buy a fish basket meal. let me tell you. the fish tasted like old burnt peanut oil or whatever kind of oil it was. i couldn't eat it. it tasted so gross. their fries. like WTH. what happened. they are thin burnt fries. the tea here was the best. now your tea is the worst. to top it off you all didn't even add ice to my drink. never again. I don't know how you all are still open.

    2pc Fish Plate...

    This is Fred's on steroids. Went during lunch and got a 2 piece fish plate. Larger pieces of panko fried fish with fries and a salad. Very tasty and left me wanting to go back. The guy who took my order was a little surly but I wasn't in the mood for chit chat anyway. I'll be back and report on my next experience as well.

    20 minutes out of my life because they charged me for food they didn't have and had to call everyone but the mayor to give me a refund.! Terrible service!

    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.

Our waiter, Matt, seemed extremely inattentive throughout the evening. We waited approximately 40 minutes just to receive our drinks, followed by another hour before he came back to take our food order. By that point, the long wait had significantly affected the mood of the evening, and I found it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Fully understand that wait times vary but we were there very early evening and the place was not packed at all. Also, we were 1 hour before happy hour ended, and planed to really enjoy the special but because Matt's inattention to us were only got one drink in before the end of happy hour. It would have been great to have him stop by the table at least once before happy hour ending to remind us that the happy hour is almost near close what we'd like to get in another drink order....or even just come back by our table to see how we were doing! All together I think we were there for three hours mainly waiting on Matt. Meanwhile he was spotted several times on his phone or hangout at the front. The food itself was good, and the drinks were enjoyable once they arrived. However, attentive and timely service plays a major role in the overall dining experience, and the delays overshadowed the quality of what we ordered. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed rather than impressed. I would consider returning to The Esquire to give the restaurant another chance, since the food showed promise. However, I would specifically request a different server next time. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously because with more attentive service, the restaurant could provide a much better experience.

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.

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.

The…read moreservice was great, the restaurant was clean, and the owner took the time to explain the menu and make suggestions. We ordered Da Slippah, and it was an EXCELLENT choice. 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!
