    Coconut shake
    Nick S.

    I had never been to a Burger Boy. Someone recently mentioned to me when I told them I was headed to San Antonio, so, I figured I would check it out I was impressed by the exterior design and decor. Flashing lights and inviting colors that beckon you in. Also, there was a drive-thru line wrapped around the building The interior was relatively clean. Again, vibrant colors, and a neat light fixture towards the entrance. There's a menu hung behind the counter where you order. Also, there is Burger Boy merchandise at the front The staff welcomed me, which was nice. I then had to wait until an attendant could come to the front to help me. While the menu isn't particularly extensive, the prices are very reasonable. I wanted to dine-in, but I was given all my food to-go The food was mid. The corn dog was actually very good, but it's difficult to mess up. The fries lacked flavor, and looked rather sad, the triple boy burger wasn't the least bit tasty to me. It tasted more like the grill than a burger or any other components. I wish there was a secret sauce or something, but it was dry. I saw that they were promoting the peppermint shake online so I inquired about it, but they looked at me like I was crazy, and said they don't serve that. The new Nutterbutter was pretty good. Again, I wish it had more flavor. The coconut shake on the other hand had flavor Some tips: If you want a flavorful burger consider going to another spot, but again, the prices and ambiance are solid. The shakes weren't bad. And the corn dog was good Cheers!

    From what I've seen everyone knows about Burger Boy. I'm late to the party. Boy am I late! This place is TASTY! Good burgers, BUT . . . They have crinkle fries!!!!! Trust me when I state that GenX has a thing for truly good crinkle fries!!! This place took me so far back! ‍ I will drive to this location just for them. Oh & now they have a churro shake. Gotta try that too. Their prices are really great. I got a bacon cheeseburger with jalepeños, fries & a soda for just at $9. Better than most places now, & the burger was a good size. I will be sure to get a photo next time. I was 22 hours fasting hungry.

    Drive thru
    Huong E.

    We were looking for a quick drive through other than your normal fast food locations. The burgers are made to order, but the service was super quick and friendly. The burgers are so juicy and meaty. The fries were hot and fresh and not overly salty like some of the other fast food places. I got the double patty burger (the working man) and it was more than I could handle. It was so delicious and juicy, but such a big burger. Definitely will go there again, I'll just make sure to get the single patty next time.

    Oreo shake
    Jennifer W.

    Came by this spot and was intimidated by the loooong drive-thru line... glad I stayed, the line went by faster than I've seen at a driv-thru for some time. Bravo! I bought a few combos to take home and had to get me an Oreo shake. Yummy! The fries were fresh... nice and crisp, burger was ok, but would like to give it a try as a dine in customer. No photos of the combos and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. Thank you to the friendly staff who made certain that I had my correct order.

    Fruity Pebbles Shake
    Rich L.

    The burgers are legit!!! I usually get the Bates Special (burger, fries, drink) it's filling enough for me. The meat is always fresh & love the texture of the buns. Not much of a fry guy but they have decent fries. The combination of a burger with a shake is very enjoyable. I love that burger boy has limited edition shakes e.g. fruity pebbles The staff is very friendly & the store was clean. I'll definitely return & recommend this place.

    Worst burger I've had in a long time. From the ingredients to the soggy bun, a combo meal with a shake came out to over $23 dollars.

They serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wings, dogs, desserts, and meals include either a side of tots, fries, cucumbers with chamoy and lucas, or corn in a cup. Other sides are available as well. This trip since we craved for burgers, ordered: Bistro burger- wonderfully seasoned and cooked, served on sourdough, with avocado, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo. One thing that should be added, the works, I felt it would be even better with the addition of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. I ordered the cucumbers sans chamoy and lucas. I appreciate simple veggies. Mexican burger- excellent! Juicy burger with cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, bacon and the works. The tater tots had a nice and crispy outer texture as it should. Overall- very good. Tasty, reasonable, clean, and great service. We'll have to make sure to come back sooner!

Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

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.

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.
