    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 (;

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wayback Classic Hella good!!!

    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!

    Classic burger

    This place is a hidden gem! So glad we found it. The burger I had was so good and the side of chili cheese tots melt in your mouth. Very friendly staff and they have an indoor and outdoor area to eat. Will definitely be eating here again, next time I'm trying the pistachio milkshake they have!

    Don't waste your money. No ice for the drinks, AC is hardly noticeable. Just sad. I will never spend my money here again.

    Had a hankerin' fer a dawg. So after taking a few rolls of 120mm film to Digital Pro to be…read moredeveloped, I headed to The Dogfather with glee. 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.

    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.
