    They closed earlier than advertised online and in the window. The workers locked the doors, cleaned and ignored customers attempting to open the doors. Today they had a promotion at this location. Seems an odd way to promote.

    Chicken sandwich

    Chicken burger was ok but it took a really long time to make and I was the only one there! Cheese was cold and breaking apart and they were out of ice for the fountain drinks! The place was run by loud teenagers and it sounded chaotic for being the only customer there

    I've actually been to this location several times now, just because of how impressed I am by them. Burgers are top notch and absolutely delicious. I usually avoid beef because it feels to heavy for me in burgers but this was perfect, and the best beef burger I've had! Other items were pretty good too, but I'd say to stick to the burgers if you want to make the most out of your visit. Personally I love the tater tots over the fries or onion rings! Our peach shake was okay, my cousin really enjoyed it but I think I would've preferred a different flavor. Aside from that, not bad! The place itself is clean and fairly open, with both indoor and outdoor seating! And to top it all off, it's pretty affordable as well (;

    Delicious beef patty- on the thin side so it's a good idea to ask for 2. Very fresh ingredients. The buns taste stood out to me, first time where I could taste love in the bread. They dont offer curly fries, regular fries are good. I didn't try any drinks. The servers are kind and it's a nice busy casual place. Grand opening is on the 21st but they are open for business now.

    These Cajun tots were destroyed by way way way too much seasoning.

    Between an Impossible Melt and Cajun tots on the menu, the spouse and I were pretty excited. As in, he moved to Portland, OR, with me, in part because McMenamin's had such amazing Cajun tots that they are a bit life-changing and he wanted to be able to eat those tots all the time. And he did. And he misses them. These are not at all them. But they maybe could be. A bizarre misstep wherein the tots were CAKED, and in mean C.A.K.E.D. In Cajun seasoning. See the picture. That ain't right. Cajun seasoning is meant to be various levels of kissed onto food. This was a saturation. They were too too salty and heavily seasoned, essentially inedible. My man actually wept at the table in sadness. The Impossible Melt, on the other hand, was near perfection. The patty needed a little longer on the grill; the Impossibles benefit from a bit of heat mistreatment to being out their char. That said, the Melt was super good -- sauced up, dripping, a well-buttered upside down bun (which I find a little odd but still delicious). Last quibble: the Caesar was a generous serving of very fluffy green romaine, sturdy Parmesan shreds, and numerous croutons. But the dressing was separate and it really needed to be tossed. It was awkward trying to incorporate the dressing onto the lettuce, and the cheese fell completely to the bottom of the plate. They were doing a robust take out business as well. We will try the tots again, maybe with a request for "light dusting" if this is the usual offering.

    Meh. Wherever you sit, you'll be sitting practically on top of your neighbor because the tables as packed in. Lots ofnapace seems wasted by the "bar" style, low seating by the register. We experienced tots that had been in the oil too long and fries that were barely warm. Burger meat was good, but very thin. Upside down bun was a little weird, and wouldn't have been too bad except for it was overbuttered and so very greasy (and I otherwise love a buttered bun). The Swiss cheese was very tasty, but the grilled onions were barely grilled and not very warm either. Health rating was a 90, which surprised us since they just opened not that long ago - would have expected 100. Grand opening isncoming soon, so we may try again and see how the milkshakes are. First impression though was not the best.

    Small burgers. Bacon was literally falling out of the burger in crumbs. Quality just wasn't there. Lots of burger places in town. This one's is going to have a hard time competing.

    Pulling up, wasn't sure if location was open. Walked in and was greeted right away by M. Lorenzo who also took my order. The transaction went smoothly and fast. Didn't wait too long for my meal and oh my goodness was it good!!! My next time back I'll have to try a shake. Those look amazing.

    Cajun burger and Roma fries are out of this world we stopped by for lunch, and atmosphere was great and the food was out quick. The hamburger meat was flavorful and on point!

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.

Bacon wrapped with a multitude of options for toppings, paired with a toasted bun, we literally sacrificed our keto diet on these. 100% recommend. We had two of the bacon wrapped with ketchup and mustard, and shared an everything (ketchup, mustard, mayo, and jalapeños). I can't decide which is better so you will need to give them both a try as well. Great location. Nice easy walk from the Alamo, and they are open late to give you the snack you need while doing a historic tour or of the city or spending a night out on the Riverwalk. I also have to give the guys working the stand a compliment, they were fast regardless of the line, and happy to be giving the customers a great experience. Bottom line, this hotdog stand is unlike any other I've been to (and I'm from the New York area - hot dog stand capital of the world). Go give them a try!

    Our first night in San Antonio, we checked into the hotel, rested for a little bit, and…read morethen.....boop.....out to eat we went because that's what we do . My husband found this spot, and being from Chicago, I was immediately interested. I grew up on thin crust pizza, cut in squares, with Italian sausage and jalapeños. That is my kind of pizza, period. So of course that's what we ordered, except we added pepperoni too. And listen.....it did what it needed to do. The pizza was thin, cheesy, flavorful, and cut the right way.....in squares. We got a small, I believe around 12 inches, and it was perfect for us. I also had to get a Chicago dog because.....hello.....CHICAGO. Fresh ingredients, poppy seed bun, all the proper toppings, and the Vienna Beef dog was right on point. My husband also ordered a pizza puff because somehow this man claims he doesn't remember eating pizza puffs back in the day. Sir.....we definitely used to get those for you . The only thing missing was some good Chicago mild sauce. Had that been there, whew.....complete throwback. But honestly, the experience was bigger than just the food for me. The decor is ALL Chicago. Cubs, Bears, Bulls, jerseys, memorabilia, old photos, Chicago PD references.....everywhere you look, there's something that takes you back. I was walking around recording with my Ray-Ban Metas because the memories were just coming. I even asked who was from Chicago because I already knew SOMEBODY had to be . Turns out, the owner is, and he was actually the one who took our order and brought out our food. Service was great. You order at the counter, they bring your food to the table, and there's a self-service area for drinks and condiments. They also offer beer and wine, although we stuck with fountain drinks. And then my husband handed me an RC Zero. Listen.....I had not had RC Cola since before I left for the military at 19. Talk about a blast from the past. Overall, great food, great service, and a serious dose of Chicago nostalgia. If you're from Chicago, or just love Chicago-style food and sports culture, this place is worth checking out. Whenever we're back in San Antonio, we'll definitely be back for my Chicago fix. I almost forgot... they was on Triple D's w/Guy Fieri... Diner, Drives & Dives.

    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.

The first issue was using the InKind app. We spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to use it because ordering ahead wasn't working, and none of the employees seemed familiar with the process. One employee was patient, friendly, and genuinely tried to help us figure it out, which I appreciated. After finally placing our order, we were told it would take about 15 minutes. Instead, we waited roughly 40 minutes, and didn't receive our food until 11:00 p.m., right at closing. I understand we came during the last hour before closing, which is why I specifically asked if we had enough time. If the kitchen was backed up or our order was going to take 40+ minutes that late in the evening, I would have completely understood. I just wish we had been told that up front instead of being quoted 15 minutes. By the time we received our food, it was closing time. Thankfully we ordered it to go, because if we'd planned to eat there, we wouldn't have had the opportunity. When our food was finally ready, the bag was already ripping because something inside had leaked. The employee noticed right away, grabbed two new bags, and repacked everything, which I appreciated. We ordered quite a bit to sample the menu: the Cali Chick (lettuce wrapped), Hot Chick, Buff Chick, Little Mule, Totchos, onion strings, sweet potato fries, and a Teriyaki Chicken Caesar Wrap (which we haven't tried yet, so I can't comment on that one). Unfortunately, the food we did eat was very disappointing. The lettuce-wrapped Cali Chick was a mess--the lettuce was so wilted it couldn't even function as a wrap. The onion strings, Totchos, and sweet potato fries had all lost their crispness by the time we got them, and everything was lukewarm or cold. The Little Mule ended up being our favorite burger, while the Hot Chick definitely delivered on the spice. Ironically, the sweet potato fries were my favorite side, even though they came in the smallest portion. Our total was over $100 before the InKind discount, and I honestly wouldn't pay full price for this meal. The quality just didn't match the price. I don't know if the kitchen was short-staffed or if something else was going on that night, but waiting 40 minutes after being quoted 15 minutes--especially with almost no one else ordering--only to receive cold, soggy food was incredibly disappointing. I do want to give credit to the employee who helped us. He was polite, apologized several times for the delay, and even repacked our order when he noticed the leaking bag. Unfortunately, the overall experience and food quality just didn't live up to the price. Based on this visit, I couldn't justify spending over $100 for the experience we received. I hope this was just an off night, but it was disappointing enough that I felt it deserved a 2-star review.
