    Yummy krinkle fries
    Dana K.

    I was visiting my daughter in San Antonio and working from the hotel. My daughter brought me lunch and exposed me to Burger Boy - deliciousness in perfectly crisped fries and old fashioned cheeseburgers. I'll definitely have it again on another visit and recommend to others. Delicious and cost effective. (No photo of the cheeseburger as I ate it too quickly).

    Creamsicle
    Giovanna M.

    I went at the suggestion of a coworker. I'd seen it before but the ratings were just ok. I was out on my Saturday quick run and decided to grab lunch and check out a Crystal shop nearby. I got the double patty combo and replaced the drink for a Creamsicle shake. The shake was decent. It had the taste of the creamsicle slightly. I was surprised it wasn't more orange in color though. Would I buy it again? Probably not. The combo was supposed to be a large fry but was more like a small. Most restaurants give that amount in kid's meals. The burger was more like a smash burger. I replaced raw onions for grilled. Honestly, the burger was just ok. It had a taste to it that was slightly off. I'm not sure if it was the burger or the fried onions. What I will say is that it wasn't terribly expensive. I want to say about $13 was the total. I was just underwhelmed though. Customer service was great though.

    Order

    My wife and I are trying Burfer Boy for the first time and she sees an app special sign when walking in. So she says I'll download the app and order that way. She does and our order goes through. Counter guy says it shows as a drive through order, we tell him we are eating in dining room. He says he will change to dining in. I asked for our drink cups. He looks at me and says we will give those to you when your food is ready. I say everyone who ordered got their cups. He says they will be with our order! Bad service on first trip equals never coming here again. Good luck Burger boy with poor training on customer service.

    Rootbeer and Oreo shake. Look at the receipt
    Clarrisa N.

    Drive thru availble but we sat inside. They have stools facing the window if you plan to stop alone. The service was great and friendly. We were suggested to get a grilled cheese, upgrade buns to burger buns, and add a patty. This comes out to about $6 and the cheapest way to get the best bang for your buck. Also if you add on a shake you get the shake at about half price. It was good. We tried a root beer and Oreo shake. Supposedly the best combo. I'm not too crazy for root beer but you should try it, I didn't hate it.

    "Large" fries.
    Bailey N.

    These places have popped up all over town, so as I self proclaimed "burger guy", I had to see what it was all about. In the end, I don't see the hype. This particular location is kinda hard to get to unless you happen to be going the "right way" on Bitters to begin with. Additionally, parking is a nightmare. There is nowhere near enough and (at least when I went) they have the back part of the lot coned off so as to lessen interference with the drive thru. I opted for the "working man" special. I thought the burger itself was pretty darn big for the price, but ya gotta opt for two patties or it's simply not going to be enough meat. No way these count as LARGE fries. No way. Disappointing. Overall, a decent burger, but the patties were over-salted. Lastly, why ask if I want my order "for here or to go?" If you're just going to serve all orders in to go bags anyway? In the end: decent price, kinda neat - a lot of natural light - inside - and clean - but there are definitely other burger joints I prefer. Over-salted patties, a not so large fries, and parking issues keep me driving right by next time.

    How dare they call this a large fries?? My kids fries had more than this. SMH
    Edward Q.

    They tried ripping us off on the large French fries and then my double burger only had one hamburger patty. They think because I was in the drive thru I wouldn't check but unfortunately I had to go inside for them to correct my order.

    Young man in drive thru greeted me took my order very kind. The young gentleman named Jeremiah greeted me at the window by name read off my order to a T but I forgot to order one thing and was gonna go get in line again so I didn't inconvenience anyone but he was so kind didn't get upset and took care of me. He was very polite Thank you so much You rarely see good employees these days he deserves recognition. Food was delicious and love all the shakes

    Bates special (hamburger, fries and a drink)
    Graciela C.

    A very simple decorated restaurant with a simple menu. The service was friendly and very eager to push some featuring items from the menu. The food was okay, it seemed like it had very small pieces of diced onions within the meat patty. The bun was toasted and tasted buttery. The fries were your regular crinkle fries. But the orange dreamsicle shake was spot on and was nostalgic. When you order one of the combos I recommend you upgrade your drink to a shake, it will be well worth it!

    Dirty booths
    Christina T.

    I'm a huge fan of BB, but not the particular girl cleaning the inside right now. The booths are filthy. I did mention she may want to clean them while she's slowly cleaning all the tables that were dirty. They were all dirty and only had 3 tables full. I carry my own antibacterial wipes and cleaned my own. Anyway, she's sweeping and mopping, but not moving the chairs. She also doesn't wipe the chairs or booths down. "We do that when we close." She said. I was a manager at restaurants before, and when I or any of my staff cleaned the tables off, they would wipe down the chairs and / or booths. I don't get it. It didn't affect my food, I just think she should clean better, especially if a customer points it out.

    Joshua at the restaurant counter was very pleasant and courteous when he took our order. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality. Awesome job.

    Soggy chicken. Would just skip this place if I was you reading reviews.... Not worth it

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.
