    Definitely got lost in the moment and didn't take pictures of the food - my bad, but I would recommend coming here, especially if you have kids. I ordered a single patty with grilled jalapeños as an add on and avocado as an add on too - but they ended up giving me bacon instead of the avocado. I was told that I was never charged on the original ticket for avocado and would have to be recharged if I wanted it added on, so I decided to just skip the avocado. I also ordered medium rare for my patty, and it was mostly medium rare but some corner pieces felt like they were bordering on medium rare-rare territory. The burger was HUGE though, and it was super duper filling. They also put the lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles that come with every burger on the side. I also liked the fries my boyfriend got. I loved the ambiance because the restaurant looks like it's a barn on the outside, and the inside is huge like a BBQ restaurant would be with options for booth but also long long long table seating, which came in handy for people who had reserved them for graduation parties this weekend. We sat outside in the back, and it was actually not too hot. It worked out because my boyfriend's family also had 2 little toddlers who could run around and play with the rest of the kids who were just coming back from whatever sports practice they had. You have to pick up your food from the counter after they announce your name on the loud speakers, so there's not much to the service aspect, but it's nice that they give you drink refills.

    sweet potato fries SOO YUMMY. perfect smash burgers 1/2 lb burgers. sucks that adding cheese adds $1.29?? wont give u to go boxes when u ask??? but do take out orders?? how does that work

    Given that Big'z had a 3.5 average rating, I was pleasantly surprised upon my first visit there! Considering the cavernous size of the restaurant, I guess that service suffers when it's full. I was there mid-day on a Tuesday so it wasn't an issue for me. Had their #1 Single Burger and a Chicago dog that the graciously changed to a simpler mustard & chopped onion dog. The dog was grilled (nice!) and was a Vienna Beef dog sans the casing (half-cheer). Burger was nice and thick, a great change from the smashburger-style that I see all over town. Big thumbs up from me. Atmosphere is really more like a big gymnasium, but don't let that deter you from a good burger and dog. :-) This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    The place is BIG! We wanted a new burger experience. This was on our way home off UTSA. Went for lunch. We were greeted as e we walked in. The gentleman explained how we order. Kinda scary..... I love me a loaded burger. However, each item is a la cart. My sons burger was almost $20 A treat indeed! He devoured it! It was a tasty juicy burger.

    This place is literally our go to spot on a weekly basis. Great place for kids. Great place to gather with friends or family. Great place to catch a game or just wind down. The food is Always great. Whether you get a burger or their wings, onion rings or fries it's always fresh and great quality. The staff is always attentive and super nice. Highly recommend to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

    Really friendly staff, very clean, good ambience - today was '70's and early '80's Mushroom Swiss burger was exceptional. Loved the skinny sweet potato fries! We also split a Cobb Salad. Very fresh. Perfect lunch for a perfect day-date

    This would've been 5 stars! It was so great the burger really HUGE living up to the name bigz burger, you really pay for your portion because while it was pricey it was a huge burger and lots of fries. The only reason I rate it a four is because I love lemonade and the lemonade I got was so watery but everything else was perfect. It was very moist super messy but delicious. They have such a big menu and a HUGE restaurant very spaced out ambiance and good vibes lots of families. The service was great everyone was polite and they check up on you while you are eating even tho there's an order desk. Would definitely go again!!!! AND THE COOKIE WAS one of the best chocolate chip cookies ever.

    I couldn't believe my eyes when this beauty by Big'z came out This double patty topped with a runny fried egg, along with sauteed mushrooms, braised onions, jalapeños and provolone cheese was stacked with nothing but the texture and flavors I crave in a burger. Just look at that thing! Big'z is the perfect spot for great food, good drinks, and catching a game on their multiple large screens. It's also a fantastic place to being the kids with their huge outdoor areas. We are def BIG'Z fans!!!

    Had a group party here during us grand opening week on UTSA Blvd, and we allll had such a great time! Converting an old dance hall to this huge space for burgers and gatherings was genius. Food size is MASSIVE. I wish I split my meal. For a burger joint, this is on the pricer side, but worth it for the fun "hang-out" vibes inside. The bar in the back makes a mean strawberry margarita with sugar on the rim, 10/10. Tip the man for sure! Catered to our retirement party of 30+ so easily, and the outside area was fabulous. Areas to sit, places for kids to play. Service was friendly, would 100% return! If you're looking for a big ol juicy burger and classic fries, this is your new place.

    It's been seven years since we last visited Big'z burger joint, this location was new to us. The establishment was super clean, even had a strong odor of Fabulosa, lol! They had the largest beer tap and great options at the bar. We were a part of 3, and ordered: two orders of hamburger and chicken burger with fries. Great service and the food was generous in portion size. Recommend and look forward to revisiting again!

    If you're going for lunch, go right at opening! I got there 10 minutes beforehand, was third in line, and by the time I finished ordering, the line was already two rows long! When I got my burger, it was three rows long! GO. AT. OPENING! Seriously, around noon, the full 5 row queue line in their set up was packed. This place is busy and for good reason! I customized my burger like crazy and honestly, I didn't go as crazy as I initially planned... because my pregnant brain was trying to convince me I should also add pineapple and an egg. It would have been everything but the kitchen sink at that point! They let you customize your level of done-ness, which I love. I went medium rare and it was on point! All of the tables are covered with butcher paper, so if you're coming with kids, bring a pack of crayons or something to entertain them. I'm definitely excited to try out the other location with the whole family in tow. Thank you for accommodating our office function today! The food was delicious.

    I'm in love with the location near my home, but having recently been pleasantly surprised to see this location near my (new) workplace, I knew I HAD to stop by for lunch. Parking is a great, wide open ocean of spaces. The staff seems pretty serious and not warm and fuzzy, but ordering is very efficient. It's lunchtime so they have two cashiers taking orders at once so I appreciate that this joint is prepared for a rush. It's not super noisy, but music (80's pop) plays over a speaker and even with a growing lunch crowd, the space is so big that it doesn't feel like the noise level is stifling. I love Big'z menu. It features classic and creatively assembled burger and sandwich options but building your own is always a good choice. You can even "make it dirty" by adding a fried egg. I was tempted, but really wanted to taste the burger itself today to rate that very important base ingredient fairly. The patties are THICC (see photo) and they ask how you'd like that big hunk of cow flesh cooked. Nice! I love their fries and onion rings. Another great thing is their ranch... thick and fresh and best of all FREE! I hate paying extra for condiments. *Side note: if you visit the location off the 151, they offer different flavored ranch dips. My fave is the jalapeño ranch!* To add to this lovely experience is that my food came out pretty quick and a manager strolled around to check on all the guests. Other observations include a FULL BAR towards the back, fancier crossback seats (see photo) and paper roll coverings at the long farm style tables. The booths are newer and the seats are very plush! Condiments at each table include Hunt's Ketchup, French's yellow mustard, salt and pepper. Each table also includes a roll of paper towels for clean up. I'll definitely be back for lunch!!!

I like the idea of the French onion burger, but it just didn't come together well for me. First, I thought it was overcooked we asked for medium, and I would say it was medium well and then the texture just wasn't there. There's no grill char to it. The caramelized onions ended up giving a similar consistency with the burger it just had no distinction to it. And our waitress was very nice and attentive. I just wasn't wowed by anything (other than the jelly on the charcuterie) so I'm not sure if we would be back. I was surprised my wife didn't get the dessert but she did say she enjoyed it.

It was amazing and the fact that it was a month long happy hour deal was a nice thing to do for the customers.

Not really festive for us 4 girls dressed up as I thought we'd sit by a window but we made the best of it. Kenzi was our server and she was bubbly and my friend told her she looks like "Taylor Swift" and Kenzi said she gets that a lot. The birthday girl and another friend arrived early, before me and my other friend so they both ordered appetizers and drinks. One ordered a beet/radicchio-arugula/goat cheese salad and a mocktail and the other one ordered a wedge salad and Espresso Martini. My friend shared her beet salad and it was delicious! We all ordered the Pork Chop Special and I ordered a 15 oz. Prosecco. They have 2 sizes: 5 oz. and 7.5 oz. When our entrees arrived we dove right into them. I haven't had it in a long time and this version is now slightly sweet, smoky and caramelized all over which is nice! It came with a side of whipped potatoes and applesauce. Of course we all couldn't finish it so we took our leftovers home. A couple of friends even ordered Pork Chops to go for their hubbies. One friend orders the Pork Chops from Seasons 52 and she was impressed with this one as well as the deal! She also scarfed on the bread and was raving about it but ate so much before the Pork Chop arrived that she was a little full! Kenzi came by once in awhile so we just poured our own waters from the carafe we set aside on the shelf behind. She took it, though but came back later to pour more. For a bday dessert choice, my friend ordered the trio of mini desserts so we could all try them. Nice little bites after a heavy meal. When we paid, Kenzi accidentally put my bday friend's Pork Chop on mine and added the bday salad and drink on my other friend's tab when she was supposed to pay for all of the bday friend's meal. Kenzi apologized and corrected it. She might have been overwhelmed by the volume of people? Restrooms are clean and fully stocked with supplies. We used it before we left then went to the front to have photos taken. When I asked the hostess/check-in area, where there were 3 female employees, one female employee said "Sure" yet one female just looked away dismissively which I thought was odd. I just had a questionable feeling because we were sat in a corner and then the female turning her head away felt like she was ignoring us. I know they're busy seating people but this was already 2:45pm. I think the male employee with a grey suit who was behind the station standing there may have been the Manager saw no one stepped up so he offered to take our photos. He had a friendly attitude and thanked us for coming in. Duly noted...

We decided to head over to Kona Grill at La Cantera instead. I made a reservation just to be safe and we checked out the menu on the way over. Upon arrival at 6PM, it was pretty empty and got seated a little earlier than our reservation in a large booth as requested, good start. Once we sat down we noticed how dirty the seats and floor were. No biggie, it was probably very busy earlier. Apparently, we were given the wrong menus but they matched what we saw online. While we were giving our order for what we already thought was overpriced selections, our server tells us we had the wrong menus and handed us special Christmas menus. We'll, after taking a few minutes to look it over, what we noticed what was a much smaller menu, with everything priced about 15-20% higher, for the same items. Huh? They had one Kids item, a $19 Turkey Plate and the lowest priced items for adults was the Sushi starting at $22. All of the apps were $25 and up, including the regular sized, and underwhelming Calamari. The menu was marketed as a special, limited time menu, but seemed like simply a limited, higher priced menu. My wife's Margarita was $17 and filled to the rim with ice. Just not a good value at all. I got the Steakhouse Burger and again, very underwhelming for the price tags of $29. My sons Fried Rice was $34 and was not a shareable item. If we knew this was the menu, we would have just waited at Ding How. My reservation did not mention the special menu and neither did the website, from what I saw online. Guess you live and learn...and I learned just to wait for what you really want. It was a blessing to be together and to afford a dinner like this. Times are are hard and we do not take it for granted at all. We appreciate the staff that we're working on Christmas Eve and hope they were compensated a bit more based on the higher priced items.

We've never had bad service, a long wait, or any issues with our food every time we've come. The orchard sandwich was new for me this time and once again, 10/10. I loved the combination of the turkey with the crisp apples and the slight sweetness of the maple dressing. I love that they give you the option to change the bread types, I switched mine and I feel like it made it even better because that sandwich was packed and every flavor stood out instead of being majority bread. The pasta salad was also really good, my daughter ended up devouring it which shocked us because tomato soup is her favorite. If you're looking for a good lunch spot that's worth every penny, this is the place. Can't wait to go back next month.
