    Supposedly large order of fries.
    Loretta P.

    I guess everybody is cutting back on their servings these days but it sure would be nice if they cut back on their prices as well! Ordered large fries, and received in my opinion small order. The young girl at the window said that it was correct. Sure doesn't look like a large order of fries to me. The burger wasn't all that either. The only good thing was the Reese's peanut butter shake.

    This place should be called Chicken Boy or even maybe Fish Boy cause the burger didn't even compare! Pulled up the nicest young lady took our order and we paid. Looking inside everything looked nice, clean and new!A young man confirmed our order once at the window, waited a few minutes, and got our food and everything was correct! Got the food home and open the loaded fries, jalapeños looked strange but taste good the fries were dry IMO but good cheese and bacon! The fish sandwich was thick, the veggies fresh tasty tartar sauce, a perfect fish sandwich! The burger was OK, good flavor, fresh veggies but a bit much mustard. The chicken sandwich was WHOA!!! Super crispy, juicy and tender! Undoubtedly the best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time!! Definitely my new spot for a fish or chicken sandwich, but I'll give the burgers another try also!

    It's Burger Boy, you know how it is. This location is brand new, some of the tables have never been used. I arrived just before the lunch time rush, and this place gets busy. The staff here was really pleasant and kept the order coming. They made it look effortless even with the drive-thru wrapped around the building. Overall a great experience in the warm and enchanting new Potranco location.

    A San Antonio original!

    Craving a San Antonio favorite burger spot with exceptionally reasonable prices look no further than Burger Boy! Now my first experience was down the road near 151 and now that it has opened right around the corner to home I was more than excited to give the new Burger Boy off Potranco and Hwy 211 a try! Upon entering the parking lot before the dinner rush one Sunday afternoon I was welcomed to all the outdoor seating and walk around to get to the front door entrance alongside the drive thru. Once opening the front doors, you are greeted by an open space concept and you immediately walk to the left to get in line to order. The employees here are very friendly and on top of their game in which is welcoming considering other places near here are hit or miss when it comes to service. I ordered the Bates Special, a classic combo added cheese and bacon and it was made to order pair it with crispy crinkly fries and medium soda and the taste of their burger is a reminder that brings me back for more. Now expect your Classic whole size burgers and fries which is what you'll find at Burger Boy add one of their delicious sweet shakes and you'll see why this is a San Antonio favorite!

    Burger was great and the fries were fresh but not as fresh as Daejune's uniform. He was personable and exceptionally knowledgeable of the menu. Seriously, I can't say enough about Daejune's commitment to service!

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!

The food was not the best especially for the price. The drinks on other hand were amazing. My server Marah toke great care of me. Attentive, funny, and well knowledgeable.

Would come back for the drinks and her service. The food on other hand definitely could use some help.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). 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.

    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.
