Finally got around to trying it. Bit chaotic. The parking is tight. If you don't see a spot on the left as you come in don't turn left. The drive thru is down that side of the building and it's one way. Bit of a pain to turn around. That being said went in and the first thing you notice is the music is really loud. Good music. Just loud. Went to the counter to order. Some things you can get on your burger they don't advertise like tomatoes. And mustard and ketchup. But ordering was done and we wait for our food. The drink station is in a bit of an awkward spot. Feels like you're going behind the counter to get a drink. Prob be easier to have someone who works there fill and refill em but it's cool. So the burgers. Just looking at the smashed burger 50% outside the bun I knew I wasnt gonna be a big fan. The meat alone is kinda salty and crispy. Once you get to the bun and the toppings it's pretty good. You just gotta get there. Fries nice and crispy. Sweet tea was tasty. Glad I got to try it. Dont think I'll go out of my way for it unless they keep the meat inside the bun. I feel like you're wasting a lot of my patties lol and a triple is about the size of a decent regular burger with the meat so smashed. read more

I had never tried a smashburger and didn't know what to expect but Zojah blew me away! They are juicy, flavorful and the pickles and zojah sauce are delightful. The fries are perfectly crispy and seasoned. I loved the seasonal fruity pebbles shake. Only complaint is bun is soggy for my tastes I prefer a really good toast. But no one else in my family seemed to mind that's my personal preference. Staff was outstanding and very clean restaurant. Affordable prices too and who doesn't love a good rewards program!? Cherry on top is the vibe lots of great music and decor. Apparently they have a drive through which makes sense it was fast lol! read more

Recommend: Not for Me I was really looking forward to trying this place since it has so many great reviews. Unfortunately, I may be the outlier here. Let me start with the positives. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care about keeping the restaurant clean and welcoming. The dining area was well maintained, and although parking is limited in the front, there is additional parking available in the back. I visited on a Saturday afternoon when it wasn't particularly busy, but the food took a little longer to come out than I expected. It wasn't a huge issue, just something I noticed. I ordered the ZOJAH Smash with Fries ($14.99), which comes with a smashed Certified Angus beef patty, cheese, onions, pickles, ZOJAH sauce, and crinkle-cut fries. The burger itself was fine, but I didn't find anything especially memorable about it. The ZOJAH sauce tasted similar to Thousand Island dressing or the sauce used at In-N-Out. The bun was very soft, and the pickles added a nice crunch, but overall the burger felt a little lacking in flavor, even with the generous amount of sauce. The standout item for me was definitely the fries. They were crispy, fresh, and easily the best part of the meal. I also ordered a regular fountain drink. The restaurant had music playing during my visit, which helped create a lively atmosphere, but it was a bit louder than I would have preferred and made it harder to have a quiet conversation. At the end of the day, the food just didn't live up to the hype for me. While I can appreciate the friendly service, clean environment, and excellent fries, I personally would choose a Five Guys burger over this one. That said, plenty of other people seem to enjoy it, so your experience may be different.. read more

Another "new"place we tried, failed us again. It's completely overrated, over hyped and overpriced. The patties are paper-thin "meat wafers"basically soft jerky with crispy edges. Yes its a smash burger place, but it was way tooo thin. The combo doesn't even include a drink. If you are craving a meat wafer and enjoy burning money, this is the spot for you. Our daughter said its the worst burger she had ever tasted because mostly just bread and no flavor or much meat. read more

If you're looking for a really good burger, I highly recommend Zojah burger. The crispy edges and the tallow fries are 10/10. This burger is so flavorful The owner is super nice. The staff is really respectful. I've never had to wait too long for my food. They have a drive-through if you're really in a rush. I have zero complaints. It's literally one of my favorite smash burgers in San Antonio. read more

I've passed Zojah Burger many times since it opened up. I had to try them out. I got the Zojah Double Burger with fries for $16.99 plus tax. The burger was pretty good. It wasn't great. The fries were crispy. I got my food in a timely manner and I received good customer service. This place reminds me of Freddy's. The burgers are very similar. It's a place I would only eat at a few times a year. I wasn't wowed by anything I ate. It's almost twenty dollars for just the burger and fries. That is a little high on my opinion. I would recommend this place if you like smash burgers. read more

Fantastic smash burger with nice, crispy edges, delicious sauce and tasty bun! And the fries are AMAZINGLY GOOD!!! The service was excellent and the vibe was fun! My husband ate here last week and liked it so much he brought me with him this time. Yum! read more

Gotta say, wasn't impressed. The best thing that stood out the most were the fries (fried in beef tallow) and their special Zojah sauce. The spicey chicken sandwich was a giant chicken strip in a burger bun. But guess what? They were the same size as Dave's Hot Chicken "sliders" and you can choose your spice level. PLUS - you get TWO of them with fries for about the same as we paid for those one with fries. The Smashed burger was fine. But nothing memorable. You can go elsewhere- I can name at least 3 chains that's has smash burgers and you get lettuce and tomato on it too - not just onion and pickles. Two burgers and one spicy chicken sandwich - all with fries- and ONE SODA - $51. The price point is not worth it so it's a one and done for us. Oh and... It's in a small strip mall and on a Saturday night like when we went (5ish) -- the area was so packed and couldn't find parking. (The establishment itself is quite small.) read more

I ordered the double cheese burger with fries and an Oreo shake. The burger was delicious! I like that the meat was crispy. The fries were the best! I love the crispness of the fries. The price is based off burger and fries and it's close to $20 which I think is steep. That is not including a drink. Yikes! The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Service was great but the staff did forget my shake and I had to ask 10 minutes after receiving our food. read more

ZOJAH Burger - double zojah burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband and I were looking for a good craft burger spot. We love In N Out but wanted a burger spot that was more elevated and with juicy burgers. We had seen ZOJAH Burger multiple times and decided to stop by. It's a clean cute spot, that looks like a regular burger joint. It's quite aesthetically pleasing, but in a franchise type of way. We walked up to order our meal, like a typical burger place, the owner took our order, super sweet young guy. He gives us his recommendations and did tell us that it would take 25minutes to get our food. We decided to stay and order, I went with the Jalapeño Double smash burger with fries, no drink, my husband got the ZOJAH smash burger with fries, no drink just water cups. Two shakes. It was $50 before tip! Holy moly for a regular burger place we were expecting maybe $30 max. My jalapeño burger was good, I'm not a fan of smash burgers, very thin patty, I like a big juicy patty, but the burger wasn't bad. But definitely not worth $18. My husband's burger was also okay, the shakes were good. Honest opinion, burgers are good, it's just way too pricey for a regular burger joint. read more

Came here for lunch with my wife and friends. First, I made a mistake when checking in. They do have 2 Gender Neutral/ Family bathrooms. I ordered the Zojah Double burger with Fries and a Lemonade. The burger was big ad delicious, my friends were wondering how I was going eat the burger because the smash burger was bigger than the bun. The fries were crispy and delicious, being well seasoned. And the Lemonade was tasty and refreshing. read more

A friend sent us this recommendation from TikTok. And we were in the area. We are NE side people so being on the NW side was a bit of a drive. Clean store, not so great parking. And otherwise just what appears to be a burger place. It was nice. Cashier was nice since we haven't been we asked questions and she answered them well. Explained what was popular and what she liked. I had the jalapeño burger with fries and took it as it came. Grilled onions not fresh and it was beautiful. The jalapeño was fresh and just the right amount of spice. The sauce, the onions, the pickles. Just a great burger. I have reviewed burgers before and the smash burger is new for me. I enjoyed it. A double patty smash burger filled me up and I was good. Husband had the regular burger with grilled onion, pickles and sauce. He loved it. They give the right portion of ketchup for us. It handled all the fries I ate and I was happy. A nice crispy Coke Zero to be my drink. The decor was nice the red black color scheme was just enough. I enjoyed the sign so I took a picture. (My dad helps make signs so I have a random appreciation.) Will come back and bring my friend who sent it to us. Maybe make a shopping trip like we did with a trip to the random stores on that side of town. read more

What's not to love about this place? The location is convenient and easy to get to (with tons of parking in two parking lots on both sides of the building), fast service, delicious food, and an upbeat modern vibe inside that doesn't get in the way and lets you enjoy your food and conversation. I ordered a double patty smashburger, with jalapeños, wrapped in lettuce - and let me tell you: it was very satisfying. Could I have had more? Yes. Should I have? No. So I didn't. Their fries are good, too, but they're not the main attraction here. One kid tried the chicken nuggets and wasn't a fan, so maybe there's room for improvement (or maybe she's just very particular about her chicken nuggets). She ended up with a cheeseburger and was very content. We're looking forward to coming back! read more

In the lexicon of American comfort food, the burger holds a ubiquitous, almost mundane position. However, rare moments occur when the execution of this staple transcends the ordinary and enters the realm of the sublime. ZOJAH Burger is one such establishment. To label this place a mere "burger joint" would do it and you, Dear Reader, a great disservice; ZOJAH has become my new gold standard for smashburgers. The name of the restaurant struck me initially as Middle Eastern, but the staff informed me that "ZOJAH" (all caps) is a portmanteau derived from owner Alvin Garlito's three children: Zoe, Isaiah, and Elijah. The name serves as a clever, perhaps unintentional, double entendre--a literal "smashup" of names for a place specializing in the art of the smashburger. Upon entering ZOJAH, I noted the level of care applied to the environment. In an industry often plagued by grease-slicked floors and dirty tables, ZOJAH is immaculate. The attention to sanitation and order signaled a disciplined kitchen, a great first impression. The service matches the environment. The staff demonstrated a genuine warmth that felt ingratiating rather than transactional. During my visit, the attentiveness was palpable; one employee approached my table proactively to offer a refill on my root beer before I had even realized I was running low. The centerpiece of the menu is, of course, the smashburger. The magic begins with the intense heat of the griddle. The beef is smashed flat, maximizing the surface area against the scorching metal. This technique pushes the Maillard reaction--the chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars--to its absolute limit. The result is a patty with edges that are crisp, lacey, and desiccated (see my photos). These dark, caramelized fringes offer a savory crunch that provides a textural counterpoint to the tender interior of the meat. What elevates the ZOJAH burger is the kitchen's onion technique. The chef presses thinly sliced white onions directly into the patties as they cook. As the beef fat renders, the tallow washes over the onions, softening them and infusing them with a rich, umami depth. The onions do not merely sit atop the burger; they integrate into the meat, creating a savory unity that is impossible to achieve with raw or pre-caramelized onions. The toppings are all well balanced. American cheese is the only logical choice for this application; its emulsifying salts allow it to melt rapidly and completely, cascading into the nooks and crannies of the searing hot beef. Thick-sliced kosher pickles provide a bright, vinegary snap that cuts through the richness of the meat and cheese. Fresh-cut, thin-sliced jalapeños impart a subtle, creeping heat that enhances the savory notes without overwhelming them. Binding it all together is the special sauce--likely a house blend of mayonnaise and ketchup--which adds a creamy tang to every bite. ZOJAH applies the same rigor to their crinkle-cut fries as they do their burgers. Unlike the vegetable oil standard used by most fast- and fast-casual restaurants, ZOJAH fries their potatoes in beef tallow. This traditional method, largely abandoned by the fast-food industry decades ago, imparts a savory, meaty complexity that vegetable oil simply cannot replicate. The tallow creates a superior crust while leaving the interior pillowy and soft, resulting in a crisp, deliciously desiccated fry. If you follow my reviews (and you really should), then you know I can be a tough critic. I seldom lavish such praise upon a burger, but the team at ZOJAH deserves the recognition. As word of mouth spreads--hopefully due in part to my review--I expect the lines to become increasingly long. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I went thru the drive-through ordered. I ordered the : ZOJAH Smash with Fries $14.99 Smashed Certified Angus Beef Patty, Cheese, Onions, Pickles, ZOJAH Sauce, and Crinkle Cut Fries. I added tomatoes and lettuce to the hamburger.

Waiting to try this place because of good reviews. We had a double burger which overwhelmingly tasted of really burnt hamburger meat. (Smash burgers should not be reduced to pieces of overdone crispy meat.) Chicken sandwich was mediocre. Fries were very very salty! Not for us!!

If your looking for a smash burger that is crispy on the edges but juicy in the middle, with the special sauce and fresh or grilled onions.

Service is always great, need a suggestion ask em for what to get, the inside has booths or tables, bright interior. Most definitely coming back read more

Bro this stuff is off the chain. First off the gallon of the front taking orders is fabulous. Very friendly informative to make you feel immediately welcome. She gets it. Second crinkly fries and beef tallow is genius he's the best way to do Fries. I'm a fan of Katsu chicken which moved to their old location. I have the hot chicken sandwich combo and it had a ton of flavor. But good amount of spice excellent crunch cook all the way through with just the right amount of condiments. Going to have to try the jalapeno double smash of fries next. It's the beef hamburgers are as good as the chicken sandwiches, they're going to do good. A bit high-priced and milkshakes at seven dollars is hard for me to get one. Overall food quality cleanliness friendly staffs Quick Service and excellent crunch on the chicken sandwich makes it worth it. Great Job! read more

New smash burger spot. Hit or Miss? Unfortunately was a miss for me on multiple levels. The burger had no seasoning or flavor with a side of salt and fries. Fries were crazy salty. Zojah house sauce? Couldn't tell you. We asked for it on the side. It did not get included with our order. Chicken bites were actually really good. If I went back I'd get the chicken bites. Hits - chicken bites and the bread on the smash burger. Misses - the actual burger meat, the fries, and not being able to add the house sauce. Go try for yourself. read more

Personally, this wasn't my favorite burger spot. My friend and I wanted to give it a try, and I understand the concept they're going for, but it just wasn't for me. I wasn't a fan of the topping options, and when I asked if I could add cheese to my fries, I was told that wasn't possible. It wasn't a huge deal, but it did add to the experience. Overall, I found the burger lacking flavor and didn't think it was very tasty. The fries, however, were really good and were probably the highlight of the meal. read more

Nice place, for a basic smash burger. Nothing special. Went here with my boyfriend, we ordered 2 double smash burgers. Burgers were a little greasy and very bland. Not really a flavorful smash burger. All we tasted was bread and cheese, as that over powered everything, since the meat was way under seasoned. Fries was the star of the show. Fresh and crispy. I also tried the lemonade. Just tasted like water lemon. I would say the staff were very attentive and the service was great! I loved that they greeted me when I walked in. read more

1st time solo visit on Huebner at 320pm. Parking was available but understand during peak busy hours how spaces could be limited. Clean, inviting new looking atmosphere. Plenty of seating although there was only 4 other customers during my visit. Alli the mgr at the cashier was kind, very pleasant & informative. Ordered the double smash burger with "grilled onions" with sauce on the side & crinkled fries. 2 Smashed patties were perfectly cooked with tender centers & crisp edges extending way outside the toasted buns perimeter was absolutely delicious & required some napkins nearby. You can definitely tell this establishment is consistently making "perfect smash burgers" every time. Fries were perfectly crisp with tender interior. Their Zojah sauce was delicious but I prefer my burger (sauce free) to savor the deliciously grilled angus beef flavors. Very filling meal & couldn't finish all my fries. Alli comped me a drink being the courteous host for a 1st time visitor. This is definitely the spot for great smash burgers! Although I'm watching my diet I'll definitely return when I want to deviate & get some more hearty carbolicious vittles. Prices may be a concern from others past reviews comments but certainly okay for any normal customer expecting quality beef & other ingredients that's a complete filling meal.. yummy. I'll be back ! Thank you Zohah & staff for making perfect smash burgers that everyone always wanted ! See ya another time. Included picture perfect smash burger & fries. read more

It was ok. Too burnt for my tastes. The size was pretty small for the price. Nothing special here.

Take out review: pretty legit. It's unfortunate that my commute home kinda altered the experience. The burger seems pretty legit. Would be a lot better if it was dine-in. The hot chicken sando is fine. The fries are pretty good too. I did think it could use some more seasoning but I think they fry it in some kind of oil since the flavor was good. read more
