Finally made it to Chester's Hamburgers last night, and I'm glad I did! Not sure why it took me so…read morelong to try it!! Great environment. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in San Antonio. Everything was on point -- from the soft, fresh bun and flavorful toppings to the juicy, perfectly cooked patties. The fries were cooked just right, and the onion rings were incredible: crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. You can tell they take pride in making a quality burger. Definitely won't be my last visit. If you haven't checked them out yet, do yourself a favor and give Chester's a try. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Also, they serve alcohol and were playing Oldies the entire time . This was the 281 San Pedro location.

I've been on a real burger crawl the last month or two and had heard only good things about…read moreChester's so I was eager to try it. I went last night with my wife and I order a cheeseburger with onion rings. My wife ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a milkshake. The atmosphere here is really something that Chester's has down to an art. The decorations make the restaurant feel local, and a little cool. It's kind of like walking into a dive bar, or more appropriately a burger place in the 60's. That look really works for this place and as I waited on my food I had the idea that I might enjoy coming back to get a burger and a beer, watch a game or two. You walk up to the counter to order, and the cashier at the front was helpful. He was even patient as I picked out a beer from their pretty impressive selection of bottled beer behind the counter. Everything here was a positive experience, so you may be asking why this review isn't more star filled. Well service and atmosphere aside, I have to take into account why I went to this place pretty heavily and that was for a burger. In this case that burger is bringing this score down pretty hard. The onions rings were top notch, exactly what you expect from a local style hamburger place, but done totally right. Where this review loses its steam is when I bit into my burger and found a patty that was overcooked, and totally lacking any flavor. It was very unfortunate because the bun was nice and soft with a good structural integrity just like I like it, the toppings were crisp and fresh, but the burger patty is the soul of the burger. In this case that soul needed to get itself to church a bit more to do some internal searching. My wife's burger was similar, and her bacon was also somehow cheap and flavorless. This is a huge blind spot for Chester's, the signature product needs to be better than this. My rating system is pretty basic, if you're a somewhere that I wouldn't tell you to go even if it was right around the corner from you that's going to be a two star. Unfortunately Chester's is going to fall into that category. There are the bones of a great restaurant here, but work needs to be done. I hope to do a re-review in a couple years and see more promise.

They should do better…read more Based on the burgers, I would have rated this a 4. However, service and the cheesesteak bring this down to a 2 star review. Fresh lemonade was available - sitting on the counter, but we were served the dilute lemon water residue at the bottom of the machine. This wasn't pleasant, so I wanted to replace the lemonade with some water. We waited patiently for 10 minutes for someone to return from the back. We then realized one of the staff had been sitting at a table with friends the entire time. To their credit they did get up as we approached the counter. A picture is worth a 1000 words. Although, I only need one to describe the cheesesteak....SAD! My daughter didn't want onions, which I guess would have made it look slightly better, but if you zoom in on the picture you'll notice a lot of bun and very little meat.

The chicken fried steak was one of the most tender chicken fried steaks I have ever had. It was sooo good! The outside was crisp & the meat was juicy. The gravy was creamy. Fried okra was fresh. The serving of mashed potatoes was pretty sad though. It looked like it might've been scooped w an ice cream scoop. When ordering a chicken fried steak w two sides I have never gotten such a tiny serving of mashed potatoes anywhere, ever. Potatoes are cheap. This isn't where the restaurant should be stingy. My bf had the burger. It looked good in my photo but I should've taken a photo fr the side or after he bit it. The patty was so thin! He said it was just a bland under seasoned basic burger w a thin meat patty. He will eat anything & even he was disappointed with this burger. He left almost half of it. Idk if I've ever seen him do that in 14 years! The atmosphere is casual & the restaurant is clean. I watched the staff as they walked around & if anything was dropped on the floor it was swept up immediately by Robert & the min someone left Carissa was at the table picking up the dishes & wiping down the table. They were so on top of the cleaning that I asked for their names. Hard workers should be acknowledged & appreciated. Carissa also checked on us & asked if she could get us anything during our meal also. She was very nice! We like this restaurant & we will continue coming back. Hopefully, they stop skimping on the mashed potatoes servings & we just won't order the burger. I recommend the Chicken Fried Steak .

This burger comes stacked with four perfectly seasoned 1/4 lb patties on a toasted brioche bun, and every bite was packed with flavor. The tomatoes were fresh, the sautéed onions added the perfect touch, and the overall taste was spot-on. It was so filling that it took me five hours to finish--no regrets! The curly fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and the portion size was beyond generous. I also appreciate that they didn't skimp on condiments and even provided moist towelettes (because let's be real, this burger requires them!). On top of that, the meal was securely packaged, ensuring everything arrived fresh and untampered with--a detail I truly appreciate. Highly recommend--two thumbs up! Thank you!

However, I will say that this specific location has canceled my delivery orders, two or three times because they ran out of drivers or poorly planned their staffing. And those 2 to 3 cases, I did go pick it up myself twice, but it meant being pestered by somebody who is hanging outside, trying to sell something. and then one of the other times or maybe it was two times I just canceled my order because if I was gonna go and get it, then I would opt for something better. if it's not during peak delivery hours, then you probably won't have problems with this place, but I no longer order from here.
