Stellar experience. After nearly a decade, I fear the restaurant will have to change in order to stay in business and the changes will suck. BUT those fears are clearly unfounded. The atmosphere is light-hearted, the art is inspiring, and the service is out of this world. Everyone there is concerned that I have a good time and enjoy good food. And I do. Every time. And then there is my father. He has a small appetite (I mean tiny) and always gets the Baby Benjie's burger, which is lovely, but he can only eat half and then complains he can get Burger King at a fraction of the cost. So you know who's not invited to lunch next time. The burgers are in absolutely no way comparable. The brioche bun alone blows BK out of contention. Perhaps I'll go halfsies with him on one of the delectable sandwiches available and he can see what he is missing. Love you, Bennie's Munch! read more

Wow this place is incredible. The guy who took our order could've been nicer (he looked at me like I had three heads when I asked if the small burger came with veggies??) but the food was so good I forgot about how unsettling the ordering experience was lol. The homemade chips are really good too as someone that doesn't care for the kettle style. We were asked several times how the food was when we were eating which was really nice. We WILL be back!! read more

The employees are so informative and polite! I had never been and asked a lot of questions. I ordered the cheese steak, fries and bacon, jalapeño deviled eggs with fries. The cheese steak comes with peppers, onions, mushrooms and ranch. I told them ranch on the side, but the cook didn't read that. It was still good minus the CILANTRO in the ranch. I did call and told them about it. They offered to remake it, but i said no. I did mention to make a regular ranch because some people don't like cilantro or/ is allergic to it. The girl I spoke to said it was a good idea. We'll see if they do it. I will go back and try other stuff. read more

I tried their signature sandwich, which is the bacon, spinach, avocado, grilled cheese. It is actually pretty good, but I wish I had gotten something different. Ladies with us ordered burgers, and they were apparently delicious. I'm going to return to try the Barbacoa grilled cheese, and a burger. Dishes come with chips. Beware of the up charge for the different options from chips. My friend had the green beans and they were good, but I'm not sure they were worth three dollars. Onion rings are four dollars. If you get the idea. read more

Still a 4. Really good Cuban Sandwich, which is specifically what I came for. Homemade chips are super crispy and good. People are very friendly. The ambiance could be improved without making it fancy, but it was fine. The portion size was great. The other half will be lunch tomorrow. The only negative is the price. I know everything is more expensive now, but $15 for a Cuban seems like a lot. But it's VERY good. read more

I stopped by the Benjie's Munch food truck for lunch and got the sirloin melt with fries, which was absolutely delicious! The sandwich was packed with flavor, the beef was tender, and the fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they put care into their food. Friendly service and quick turnaround, too. Definitely one of the best food truck meals I've had in San Antonio. I'll be back to try more! read more

I've now been to Benjies Munch several times over the past few years. First found out about it when my wife was on her "keto kick"; apparently, the place has a lot to offer those looking for a high fat, low carb diet. Every time I go, I leave with the same feeling: that the food was good, that the service was good and friendly, but the place is never top of mind when I'm deciding where to eat. Not quite sure why that is. Most recently, I went in on an afternoon about 3p for a late lunch. Had the patty melt, and I recommend it. You definitely get your moneys worth; big thick patty on Texas toast...toasted perfectly.. better than a grandmother used to toast it. Also, don't skip their hand made chips. Ordinarily, I'm not a "chips as a side guy", so me telling you not to miss their chips says enough... Had a nice relaxing lunch, stayed a while...read a book. It's a nice spot ...part rustic...part modern, maybe? Anyway, It's nice you don't have to worry about bussing your table. The employees will definitely check on you throughout your meal and offer to clear away any plates. Not quite sure why we don't visit this joint more often. Best I can tell ya...it's ultimately hard to shake that feeling your cholesterol is taking a hit when you choose to eat here... read more

I'm shocked I haven't reviewed this place yet as we have been many times. Benjies Munch is a favorite of ours, especially as I require a low carb gluten-free diet. They have many keto and gluten-free options and are willing to accommodate someone with celiac. I've taken new people to the area as well as people visiting for the first time and everyone loves it. Their best chicken sandwich was literally called the best chicken sandwich my friend had ever had. My only complaint is that there is an unusual smell in the restaurant and I can't quite figure out what it is, but maybe it's just me.That said it is really easy to order to go! read more

Got try Bennie's for the first time at an event where they had a food truck version. The food truck was spacious with 3-4 workers i believe. I ordered their best chicken sandwich. The sandwich was really good from a homemade butter bun, two chickens topped with jalapeños, lettuce and a cream sauce. The flavors were well put together. The service was friendly and quick I didn't wait long about less than 10minutes. I ll have to try that sandwich again but at the restaurant itself. read more

Just had their Best Chicken Sandwich at their food truck inside of Hops and Hounds on the River Walk. That was truly the BEST chicken sandwich I've eaten in a very long time. Absolutely incredible and satisfying. Thanks for taking my taste buds to heaven and back while I enjoyed the views and ambience in the park. Will definitely come back to try their other menu options. read more

If I could leave 4 1/2 I would. It's almost a 5. I've eaten some mediocre to bad Cuban Sandwiches lately and a few good ones. This one is very good. They serve it with a garlic aioli that really packs a punch. Great with the sandwich. People are nice. The place is clean and unfancy. The homemade potato chips were great. Super crunchy. The $15 price tag took my breath away but I had already decided on it so glad I did it. Big sandwich. I'm old, so it will make 2 meals for me read more

I found myself driving by Benjie's Munch at the exact moment my stomach was reminding me I had not fed it yet today. I have been meaning to give it a try, so why not today? I am so glad I did. Let's start with the service. I was greeted at the counter by a very friendly representative and asked if it was my first time. When I answered in the affirmative, I was welcomed and offered answers to any questions I might have about the menu. It was pointed out that all items are made from scratch, which I appreciated. I decided to go with the Cuban with onion rings as my side, but the Brussels sprout leaves were also calling to me. I added an order of them. The food arrived very quickly, and the server offered additional condiments and cutlery. He was extremely attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The Cuban was delicious and on point (I lived in Tampa for several years)--crispy bread, tart mustard and pickles, the bite of salt in the thick slice of ham perfectly set off the melty Swiss and tender pork. Excellent. The only problem--and it is far from a problem--was that those Brussels sprout leaves were so addictive that I finished the entire order before touching that delectable sandwich. I could only eat a quarter of the sandwich before crying "uncle" and taking the rest to go. I am so fortunate to have tried Benjie's today. I will definitely be back for another round. The grilled cheeses look delightful! read more

I had been here a few years back and I wasn't really impressed so I was hesitant to give it another chance. But let me tell you! I am glad I did! First of all, the staff was really helpful, explained their menu and offered suggestions the burgers were so full of flavor and juicy. They also carry one of the most delicious pineapple fountain sodas ever! Will definitely go back! read more

Review # 400, and I'm so glad it is for an outstanding place! My wife was having dental work nearby and one of the dental assistants recommended this place. I looked on Yelp and found out that I had bookmarked this place some time ago as one of the places I needed to try. This place was in the extended shopping center we were in, and we decided to drive to it as it was so hot. Finding it, we found a nearby parking spot in the shade and took it. We arrived a little early, so there was not a crowd (that changed considerably before we left). Walking in, we found a few tables were taken, but that nearly all in the overflow area were empty. We only had 1 couple in front of us waiting in line so that gave us time to look at the menu that is on the wall. We decided what we wanted by the time the other couple had ordered. The help was so nice and knowledgeable and helped us with ordering. She also was quick to tell us about how they grind the meat daily, made their own chips daily, and in fact just about everything was made in house daily. While we were talking with her a young man walked up behind the counter. It turned out he was the owner's son, and he was so friendly. We paid for our order and went and got a table in the overflow area. It was not long until the food arrived. It was just as we ordered, hot, juicy, and so very tasty. The burgers were cooked to order, the chips were amazing, and the side order of fries were great. Everything was seasoned so well, just like I would have done it at home:) Talk about service. While we were eating a young lady came to check on our food. After a while, the owner's son came to check on us. Finally, the owner came around to check on us. Amazing!!! The owner actually spent quite a while with us talking and told us his story about how the restaurant came to be. Such a nice man, and in fact, they all were. Will I return? A definite yes. I will go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Every time I leave, I leave satisfied and full. Anytime I have a burger craving, this is the place I crave. The restaurant is owned by a small family, and they are some of the friendliest and most attentive people I have ever come across. I highly recommend the Candied Jalapeño Bacon Cheeseburger, it is incredible. The fries are seasoned to perfection, and the ranch may be tiny, but it is mighty. read more

I'm gonna say up top I'm only giving this a 4 because of the fries. But I'll get into that later lol super clean super welcoming restaurant. Staff greets you as soon as you come in. Answering questions. Patient. Just very inviting. The restaurant has a lot of space inside and is kept super clean. So I ordered a cheeseburger and made it a monster, which adds a patty. Big mistake. Only because it was so huge!! They say their patties are 1/2 pound, and usually you expect that to cook down a bit, but these seemed to still be half pound on the bun. Super juicy. Melty cheese. Nice brioche bun. Very delicious. But the fries. Oh the fries. Shoestring fries aren't my favorite. But I can tolerate them if they aren't overcooked. These are overcooked. I was not a fan. When I go back I'll definitely skip the fries. They weren't for me. There's a large selection of sodas. Fountain and bottled. You can choose any of them with your meal. Again tho, very delicious burger. This spot is easy enough to find. Right off blanco on bitters next to bush's chicken. Plenty of parking. Give em a go cause seriously, these burgers are fire. read more

One word. Delicious! The service was quick and simple. The gentlemen that helped me were nice and answered my questions. Since it's a food truck it is located inside Hops and Hounds. Right next to a river and dog park! The area has great views, music, seating, and drinks! I had the candied jalapeño cheese burger with fries and chose to add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I would give it a 5/5! It was juicy and flavorful ‍ The fries were nice too. It was so good I forgot to take a picture of my burger BUT I did get a picture of the barky bites (dog treats) and my pups loved them! read more

Benjies Munch - Crispy brussel sprouts Caesar... - Food Trucks Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband and I decided to try it do to good reviews and because they were one of the participants in San Antonio restaurant week (Culinaria). Upon entering we were met at the counter by an employee which we later figured out was the owner's son. He was so incredibly rude we were put off immediately and probably should have left. He let another young lady take over our order as he was clueless as to the Culinaria menu. We were ready to order but the "special menu" wasn't in the registrar so we waited and waited. We finally ordered the "special" menu. What a complete joke. For $20.00 per person you received a split meal which consisted of a shared chicken sandwich, shared appetizer (deviled eggs so we got one each) and a dessert which was almost inedible. We ordered two soft drinks and our bill was over $50 with top!! NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Awesome service! Everyone is super nice, patient, and quick. Food came out fast and they were on top of cleaning our mess. I got the plain burger with Brussels sprouts. Yum!!! The Brussels sprouts with cilantro like ranch is AWESOME!!! Highly recommend. Their food is scratch made, so I really enjoyed the burger. Yummy bun even, which I usually don't eat. Brioche with the right amount of crunch and softness. Fun atmosphere. Counter service with lots of seating. Fun colorful artwork on the walls. Great place! Can't wait to return and try more! read more

My cousin selected this place to cater my aunt's 90th birthday recently. I was unfamiliar with this restaurant but I became a fan very quickly. Can't say much about the ambiance as they brought out the food truck and parked it at the end of the driveway. Since they brought the food truck, the menu options were limited. However, there were great options to choose from. I opted for the Cuban sandwich, which was paired with fries. The sandwich was top notch! The fries were just as great as the sandwich. I was quite impressed especially coming from a food truck. I made it a point to snag another plate for the following day before the truck shut down. For my second plate, I went with the spinach and artichoke grilled cheese with bacon. After spending a few minutes in the oven, this sandwich and fries were just as tremendous as the first. I am really thankful my cousin picked this place to cater the party. I look forward to checking out their brick and mortar and sampling more items off the menu. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Benjies Munch based on all the positive recommendations. **Pros:** - Generous portion sizes - Quick and convenient pickup -Not very busy -Convenient location **Cons:** - The burger was extra rare and cold in the middle. I did order it medium rare which is a loose scale but this was not between 130-135. - The fries and bun were quite mushy (though that's my fault for choosing takeout) - The toppings lacked flavor, mostly just tasted salty Overall, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a great burger. read more

The food here was delicious. But damn did it do a number on my pancreas overnight... oof. If you have to eat a lower fat diet, this is not the establishment for you. But otherwise, EAT YOUR HEART OUT. There's a large selection to choose from. So large in fact I had to ask one of the employees which of two items they recommended more because I couldn't choose which to have. Lots of burgers, grilled cheeses, mac n' cheese, etc. The prices are all pretty reasonable, in the $10-15 range which includes a side of chips/fries and a beverage. They have one of those fancy Stubborn Soda fountains with unique flavors like Citrus Hibiscus, Pineapple Cream, Black Cherry, Agave Vanilla, Rootbeer. Yum! As well as some other bottled options like Jarritos and iced tea. The staff are all really friendly. We were there close to closing time, but they didn't rush us out the door and told us to take our time and enjoy our meal. We were the last out, actually as they began cleaning up the dining area. Plenty of tables and places to sit inside. Bathrooms were clean. They provide a coloring sheet to children who want some entertainment and pin up the art along the wall. Cute! read more

We have used Benjie's Munch food truck for our company Christmas party now for two years. Chef Ben has been *amazing* to work with. He worked with me directly on the timing & creating a menu that worked best for what we were looking for. The food is FANTASTIC. Every single employee has loved it & asks if we will have them again next year. It's not often you can get a whole office to agree on food! This experience has also been amazing for me-the person planning our party-because they show up & everyone gets hot & fresh food right at our doorstep. I can not recommend them enough!!! Thank you Chef Ben & everyone at Benjie's Munch for making this so great for all of us! See you next year! read more

My favorite so far! The burger was smashed and delicious! The bun was wonderful and fresh, it came 3 one's of cheese, French fried onions (yum!), bacon topped with a tangy BBQ sauce! Comes with crunchy homemade kettle chips. The manager and staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is cozy with so many different offerings, I already have list of what I'm getting next! read more

Best chicken Caesar salad ever. Love the walnuts and crispy chicken! Our lunch stop when in the area of town.

We have friends who say this place is their top 3 for burger places in San Antonio so we came in with expectations HIGH. let me just start by saying: EXPECTATIONS MET!! WOW!!!!! I love that the people taking orders could tell we were first timers. They let us know all about the award winning sandwiches they have that made it so so hard to decide. We went with the Patty melt, the pulled pork grilled cheese and a chicken on a stick. The patty melt is MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING. melts in your mouth, perfect crispy bread, nice and cheesy. Husband loved the pulled pork grilled cheese! We'd love more cheese! The chicken on a stick was our least favorite. Lacked a little flavor and couldn't believe it didn't come with a jalepeno! I probably could have asked but I decided I wanted all my belly room for that patty melt! I also love they didn't give too many fries, save all that room to finish your sandwich! Smart! No room but I forced myself to try the fluffer nutter. Peanut butter, cookie butter, marshmallow fluff, and chocolate chips, grilled to perfection on sourdough bread with powdered sugar to bless it all. Cheers to this restaurant. Every single thing you're doing, you're dominating. Our friend said this place was top 3 in San Antonio, but we award you with NUMBER ONE! read more

We tried the fried chicken sandwich & candy bacon burger combo that also come with potato chips and ranch. They have a soda fountain and a fridge with bottle drinks as well. Parking can be a little challenging on busy days. Note they are open from 7-7 M-F and 8-5 on Saturdays. read more

Everything was on point at this place around lunch time. Friendly staff and multiple follow ups to the table to ensure everything was good. The salad itself was pretty good. If you like more dressing on your salad I would recommend another container. The dressing was thick which made it hard to spread on the salad, however it was very flavorful and one of the better Caesar dressings I have had. The Brussels sprouts give a nice crispness to it and the sliced avocado goes over the top. The presentation of the salad was good as well. Ambiance inside was rather chill as only 12 people in before noon. I forgot about their Stubborn sodas and regret not getting a soda. Very impressed and they have a rewards card as well. I haven't posted a food review here in a while but this made me want to that much. read more

Had the opportunity to meet family and friends for dinner at The Munch! Have heard and seen so much about it, we were all super excited to check it out. We ordered appetizers and mains. Underground Fries 4/10 - these were on the "secret menu" and sounded fantastic. Sadly, they weren't as good as hoped. This item was the only thing we tried that didn't meet expectations. The fries were overcooked, and the dish was packed in the bowl a little tight, which made it hard to get out. Chicken on a Stick 10/10 - holy crap! This was probably one of the best COS I've ever had. The breading was on point and the chicken was cooked perfectly. This was a highlight of the menu for sure. Spinach Artichoke Dip 7/10 - the dip itself was flavorful and the texture was good too. The best part were the homemade chips! A little crunchy and oh so good. Candied Jalapeño Bacon Cheeseburger 9/10 - man, the 1/2 lb burgers don't disappoint, especially this one. The star of the show were the candied jalapeños for sure! The perfect amount of heat paired with an equal amount of sweetness. The bacon was thick and flavorful. The meat was 1/2 lb of awesomeness!! Definitely give this burger a try. Munch Burger 8/10 - avocado, bacon, cheese, arugula......very good burger!! Barbacoa Grilled Cheese 8/10 - very weird, but very good. Avocado, cilantro, onion and tasty Barbacoa made this Sammie something special! Service 9/10 - everyone in the joint made us feel welcome and were super helpful. Extremely accommodating as well, as they helped move chairs and stools to make room for our party. Atmosphere 8/10 - cool vibe and set up nicely. Overall 9/10 - you definitely should check this place out. Amazing burgers and other food items, stellar service!! Check them out!! read more

I tried the award winning bacon spinach artichoke grilled cheese and the flash fried Brussel sprouts! The grilled cheese was very yummy. Not too greasy or heavy. I liked the crispy bread. Lots of flavor and a good amount of bacon. The Brussel sprouts were slightly bitter (like to be expected) but very crispy! The employees were so friendly, they checked in on us multiple times! I also liked trying their cool sodas, like the pineapple one on tap. Nice, relaxed atmosphere inside. read more
