It's been a few years since I've been by; so, I was truly looking forward to getting something. I chose The Brat & tots (plain). I was very happy with my choice. The gentleman greeted me immediately. I thought it would take me a minute, but, as I stated, I chose The Brat immediately. I'm a little high strung from my age, so people kinda chuckle. It's cute. I make me smile. They put the perfect amount of mustard on it too! See the photos, but it comes covered with cabbage & crispy fried onions. It is amazing. I was able to get a whole 1/3 of it eaten before my body shut down. Tot wise, they were hot & perfectly fried! I like to dip mine in ketchup, but they offer you various other dips as well. So, I got ranch cuz, um, of course. Also, I really like their soda brand. I can't remember it, but it's a dia de los muertos skull for the logo, but I love their roots beer, which was my beverage of choice today. It's really a nice little place to just come in & sit & enjoy a yummy hotdog alone, or with family/friends.

This is an official Local Favorite of mine! Dogfather is in a really low key location, and when you…read morewalk in the vibe is completely chill. 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.

We ordered the classics: Chicago dogs, cheese fries, and the Gypsy fries. Everything hit. The flavors were spot on, and you can tell they're doing it the right way--no shortcuts. That snap on the dog, the toppings, the balance... it's legit. I also decided to try something different and went with the San Antonio dog. It was really good--definitely glad I tried it. Not sure it would be my go-to every time, but it's worth ordering at least once for the experience. The inside has that Chicago vibe too, which makes it even better. It's not just the food--it feels like a little piece of the city. 100% will be back. This is as close as it gets to Chicago without hopping on a plane.

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.

I felt the jalapeno bomber would have more of a cream cheese taste being there was supposed to be a house cream cheese blend but it was heavy on the jalapeño mustard and no hint of cream cheese. Wasn't what I was expecting, but still ate it all lol! Luckily we didn't get the soggy buns. Thank goodness! Service was great. Friendly staff member behind the ordering counter. Ambiance: definitely a hole in the wall kind of vibe. Nothing fancy, personable, and unique. Small but still a cool spot. No indoor seating. Some tables on the outsides. They offer military, first responder, and teacher discounts. I Love supporting small businesses here in San Antonio so this was a cool little spot to try!

The cheesy tots were not that cheesy but the fries were delicious and everybody enjoyed their food. It was fresh tasty not overly salted. Service was great and they have an outdoor dining area and it was sunny and breezy almost a touch too cold, but it was too beautiful of a day to be indoors. Lots of parents with infants. They had some shot specials for Saint Paddy's day seven dollar Jamison shots no pickle backs, they have pineapple or orange juice shots to chase it. I wish they had a drive-through so I can try all their breakfast burritos in the morning. I just can't get motivated sometimes. Burgers have Hawaiian rolls as buns I like that because it kind of teases the savory with the sweet. Only drawback is the pricing I fear for the want to be regulars wanting to enjoy the drafts and tater tots

Dog Haus Biergarten - Plenty of Potential in the Bandera & 1604 Area…read more With just about every sports bar packed on game night, we found ourselves looking for a last-minute spot to catch the Spurs game near the Helotes and 1604 area. Options can be surprisingly limited in this part of town, so we decided to give Dog Haus Biergarten a shot. First, credit where credit is due: the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good experience. In fact, they went out of their way to get the Spurs game on for us, even working through streaming options to make it happen. That effort alone elevated the atmosphere and showed a level of customer service that deserves recognition. The food was solid and definitely delivered. No complaints there. If you're craving a quality hot dog, burger, or casual pub fare, Dog Haus does a good job of satisfying that craving. That said, I think there's room for growth especially with the bar program. The cocktail menu is prominently featured, which naturally raises expectations. I ordered an Old Fashioned that felt a bit watered down and lacked the balance and punch you'd hope for from a classic cocktail. The effort was there, but the execution could be refined. As for the sports bar experience, it feels like Dog Haus is close to being something special but hasn't fully embraced it yet. On a night during the NBA Finals, the place was only about 20% occupied. With the number of sports fans in the area, I would've expected a stronger game-day atmosphere and more preparation around major sporting events. Overall, Dog Haus Biergarten has a lot going for it: good food, great service, and a staff willing to go the extra mile. The foundation is there. I'd love to see them continue developing the cocktail program and lean more heavily into the sports-viewing experience because this location has the potential to become a go-to neighborhood gathering spot. Final Verdict: Good food, excellent service, and plenty of upside. Not quite the sports bar destination it could be yet, but definitely worth a visit--and I'm rooting for them to figure it out. Best Regards Texas Mozzer
