    Came in on a Thursday, half price night! But I came out for a chicken burger. No specials on those. I ordered a chicken burger, and fries. Simple enough. It was nothing special. The chicken was breaded, a thin piece. Not filling at all. The fries had no seasoning and no salt. They did have a good crisp to them though. The service was decent. Nothing special. Took my order and called me up to give me my order. Nothing to call out. I did really want a pecan sundae though, but the machine was broken. That sucked. Not the best intro experience to the place.

    I was so thrilled to see that Murf's offers a veggie burger! And it's only $4! It did not disappoint. It came with lettuce tomato and mayo, and then I added diced onions, pickles, and cheese. I wanted to try both sides--so I got a cheesy fry, and also some onion rings. The cheesy fries were smothered and delicious, perfectly salted. A large portion is only $3.50. The onion rings were crispy and light, very fresh and melt-in-your-mouth good. The drive thru line was long, for good reason. People are willing to wait for something locally made with love, for one heck of a deal! The drive-thru attendant was super bubbly and sweet, and thorough in double checking my order. Love the retro sign and exterior paint job, too! Can't wait to come back.

    Seen a "Reel" on Insta about $2 burgers today and we figured let's go! We ordered Burgers, Onion rings, and a drink and it was a great low cost lunch! The burgers are great here and for $2 a no brainer. Now this is not gourmet, it's drive in fast food quality and priced accordingly. If you are in the area, Id say hit it up and grab a bite you can go wrong. It is however, not so damn good you gotta drive to it from across town. We were served up fast, food was freshly cooked. On a final note, the drive through was always packed and onto the street.

    First time here. My boyfriend used to frequent when it was the original owner. He said they were the best burgers in San Antonio back then so I had to try them out since I'm in the area often. The burger and onion rings were good. Definitely for the price. It was great, but I felt like my bun was a little overcharred (middle of it was black). The patty was thin but meat was seasoned well. The onion rings were tasty just a bit much better for me. Overall was a good experience & i would try again.

    "cheese fries" terrible quality

    Old lady working was RUDE. she cut us off and rushed us at the drive through, didn't get the order right, and failed to give me a receipt. We decided to go in, where she tried to start an argument with me and embarrass me in front of other customers. Upon having to go inside to ask for my receipt, she rudely ripped mine from a crazy long line of other receipts- indicating that she hasn't been giving them to other customers either. Upon inspecting the receipt I noticed she up-charged me a dollar for "extra cheese" on my cheese fries (after already paying the extra money for cheese fries in general) when I didn't ask for it and proceeded to try to argue with me as I attempted to figure out what the charge was for. Finally, she told me that the restaurant has been receiving complains on their cheese fries not having enough cheese so they started up-charging. Doing this without mentioning it to the customer, failing to update prices, and failing to give receipts is unacceptable, on top of that she was being disrespectful and genuinely tried to embarrass me in front of the other customers for calling her out on charging me extra without notifying me. Finally, she ended up taking a dollar change out of the register and slapping it on my hand with blatant disrespect. Totally unprofessional she completely ruins the experience and atmosphere here. Food was trash but I assume she had something to do with the quality of my order

    If you're just wanted an old fashioned burger, this is the spot. Nothing fancy. Quality meal that fills you up. They actually season the burger meat. Fries are banging, hot out the fryer. On Thursdays they have half price burgers after 5pm. Everything is made to order, so hot and fresh so you may be waiting but it's not long.place appears to be run down but these are the best places to eat. You're not paying for the bells and whistles of the establishment but the service and food.

    So good every time! The burgers fries and onion rings are fresh every time! Love the deals!

    A friend of ours recommended this place. Pretty nondescript off the road, but delicious home cooked hamburgers inside. It kind of reminded me of a Whataburger hamburger. And I don't say that lightly! I'd love to come back on the Thursday when they have half-price days. But today, my wife and I split their 2 burger deal. Not bad! I'd come back. Oh yes and the onion rings were killer!

    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.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

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. The cars driving by were a bit loud but my friends and I still enjoyed our time and the flowers around the area were very pretty. Highly recommend and I need to come back here!!

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.

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!
