If you know you know! Parking on street, in private lot and another overflow lot on other side of building. Order at counter and they'll bring you your food. Multiple seating areas inside & outside. Private room rentals for a party. I placed an order online for tostada burger to go and it was ready at counter on time. I opened the box and my jaw dropped - holy cheese!!!! I believe their website says it's 1/4 lb patty and there was probably close to 1/4 lb cheese on there! Well maybe not that much but there was a lot and it was perfectly melty. I ordered fries but didn't eat then because the burger was so delicious then I was stuffed. I went back a few days later before leaving town and enjoyed 1/2 order of bean & cheese nachos and margarita on their patio. Saw many people enjoying burgers & milkshakes. It's sooooo good. You need to go!! read more

I've been eating here since it was just a shack on the corner with a couple of picnic benches out front to eat at. I loved this place from the start. Over the years, I watched as Chris grew the business and it expanded to a place where hundreds could sit and enjoy the consistent quality he offered. Sadly, Chris went to Jesus a few years ago and the family sold it to a group that promised to maintain Chris' vision. They have largely done that. The burgers are 5-star classics served in a welcoming party atmosphere. My three star review is not for the food or the good service, it's for the constant price increases that make the customer feel like they are the new guy in the cellblock every time they open their wallet. They jumped near 100% with COVID and are now 50% above that!! It's getting to the point where one would rather eat at home! C'mon, guys. Try to hold the line on prices! read more

Amazing burger!! It's huge! And loaded with cheese! My friend took me there and I had a macho cheeseburger and fries and a Coke. I ate it all and was still hungry. My friend said if I could eat it he would buy it. I only weighed 112 lbs at the time. I ate a complete second burger! The service was great and lots of decorative items in the place. Very wonderful fun place. The food is NOT small. read more

Chris Madrid's has one of the best hamburgers in San Antonio. It is counter service with food delivered to your table. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There is a stage with live music outdoors during good weather. The burger is flavorful, good balance of toppings and if you go with the Cheddar Cbeezy, you get an insane amount of cheese on it! They have a full bar as well! It can get crowded on the weekends, but it is absolutely worth the wait!! read more

A real solid spot for burger in San Antonio, came here for lunch and left happy and full. Place looks nice, plenty of seating and indoor and out door seating. Plenty of parking. The staff here were super kind and friendly. Menu is small simple and to the point which made ordering a breeze. Got a macho cheeseburger (2patties) and fries and soda. Burger was big and filling, perfectly cooked, not quite a Smashburger style but with crispy edge and middle that was tender, toppings were fresh and the bun was soft. Fries were fresh cut and cooked which were nice. Plenty of soda options. Prices here are super reasonable and I would definitely come back. Would recommend for a chill casual fun spot to grab a burger in San Antonio read more

We eat here a couple times a month and always love it. Food is cooked fresh and quickly. I don't think they've ever made a mistake with our order...They're very efficient and have lots of food runners and table clearers and we've never had to clean off a table or go look for our food. They have 2 drink stations with all the condiments and utensils you need. They also have a separate bar area to order from. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon to sit outside...Very nice patio area. They also have party rooms for rent. We got our usual...I get the old fashioned - burger no cheese. My husband gets the double meat double cheese burger with jalapenos. We share a small fries and a vanilla shake. Everything was just great. *Bonus - they offer a 10% military discount! read more

I finally tried a burger here and it was just OK. I do not see what all the hype is about. Though a freshly made burger, the patty was extremely thin. For over $10 bucks I expected a little bit more meat and honestly to be able to taste it a little bit more. There was loads of shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, and I had them add ketchup because I happen to like my burgers that way. I got a small order of fries. They were also just OK. They were fresh cut, which I happened to liked but extremely oily and very bland. Would I come back here again...maybe. Will I go anytime soon, probably not. read more

I love how big their burgers are!! They are flavorful and every time I order that bacon cheddar burger, I get it 100% correct! Their service is outstanding and I lately have only gotten to go orders as pick up and it has been outstanding to know my order will be correct! I can eat part of the burger and have another part for later. Even warmed up, the burger is amazing!! The restaurant is big and well lit and I enjoy going with the music. The walls are festive and bright! Come in grab a beer and eat till you are satisfied. This feels like a place to go hang oit with friends or it can be a fun date spot, but sometime a bit loud. So, have fun and hang out!! Sorry for the lack of pics, I get so excited about eating, I forgot! Next time, I promise. read more

Decent spot for a quick casual lunch! I've heard rave reviews of their burgers and how much cheese is on them. Expectations were high to start with! We had a team lunch for work here at the peak of lunch hour on a Tuesday. The restaurant was very busy, but they kept the line moving and there was plenty of space to accommodate people inside and outside. Parking is a little more challenging as there's limited spots. I ordered the bunless 1/2 lb porky's burger with fries and it came out to about $21+tip. No drink was included, which is a bit pricey for burgers. A buzzer is given so people can come find you with the food. About 10 minutes into waiting, my food came out fresh and exactly what I ordered. The amount of cheese was underwhelming as people raved about how much cheese you get. The beef patty was okay, but felt a bit dry and overcooked. Vegetables were fresh at least. Fries were hot and fresh at first, but immediately changed to soggy fries. Not the best burger I've had, but it's decent. A bit pricey in my opinion and not worth the hype. read more

It's the perfect spot to wow your guests! read more

Line moved very quickly to order from the counter and food came out within five minutes. Bright seating area with lots of windows, (much different from my last chance to eat here 16 years ago). Burgers are just as good! Nice size, good grilled flavor, and the CHEESE!! Fries are excellent as well. Paleta seemed like a nice idea on such a hot day but basically frozen water with minimal flavor. My pineapple paleta had no flavor even remotely reminiscent of pineapple. Ever try hung else was great. read more

So today I came to Chris Madrids. I was looking for a burger spot in San Antonio while I'm down here for a visit and turned to TikTok to help me decide. I saw this spot and have come to the conclusion that SA influencers just LIE!!! This food was bland and everyone saying it's the best burger in SA is obviously tasteless. Fries were unseasoned though I will give them credit for being hand cut but they were flavorless. I got cheese on my fries and they put 2 pounds of cheese on them. The burger barely had any meat as I got the flaming jalapeño but it was filled with cheese. Tried the nachos which were yet again MID!!! Will I come back here? Probably not, should you come here? Probably not because I know SA has plenty of other good burgers read more

Super cool place with great reviews. Very easy to order and lots of seating inside and outside. Staff was very friendly. The burger was good and very cheesy. The toppings were fresh. I wish I would've gotten a double burger. The cheese definitely overwhelmed the beef flavor. The only downside to my experience, was the fries. They were fresh cut fries, but we're just limp and greasy. Just not my style. Overall, the good burger place. read more

Here's a heartfelt review foIf you're after a true taste of San Antonio, Chris Madrid's has been the spot since 1977--and it's more than just burgers; it's a whole lot of nostalgia, tradition, and genuine flavor. I've been coming here since I was a kid, brought by my grandma, who'd always smile and say, "Nothing like a burger with that good old government cheese." And she wasn't wrong. Their burgers have this incredible, juicy perfection with cheese that stretches and pulls just like you'd see in the cartoons--think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kind of cheese pull. The atmosphere is just as classic as the food. There's plenty of seating, both indoor and out, and the outdoor spaces are set up perfectly for sunny days or cool Texas nights. They even have a full bar with surprisingly solid drinks, so it's easy to make a whole outing out of a burger run here. Whenever I'm craving a burger, it's worth every minute of the drive to get here. There's just nothing quite like it. Great burgers, great drinks, and, most of all, great memories. Chris Madrid's isn't just a burger joint; it's a San Antonio classic. read more

If Freddy's Frozen Custard and Whataburger had a baby, this would be it. The burgers are decent. I like the way they dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce. The burgers are generously stuffed with the veggies. You have to put your own mustard or mayo from the little packs. The fries are greasy, old fashioned almost like how grandma made them in the skillet back in the ghetto days on Southcross or Hackberry. read more

I've heard many great things about this place and how they're one of the best! They were totally right! Burgers were pretty large and had very good flavor. Me and my partner decided to share a large fry and I was pleasantly surprised by its size it was a true large haha. The fries were homemade which was definitely a plus. I ordered a cheese burger with no onions and well they put onions.... That was the only downside. As far as service the cashier had a pleasant attitude. There were some employees standing around one had a very annoyed look on their face not sure what that was about. The place was pretty nice for a burger spot qand kind of eclectic and rustic.

Much ado about Chris Madrid's First time at this spot. Everyone raves about the burgers. Honest opinion? It's giving me Whataburger. Big time. Thin beef patty with salt and pepper, check. Soft toasted buns, also check. Lettuce, tomato, and mustard. All the same as whataburger. Not to dismiss the burgers at all, just very very close. Even the shredded lettuce and diced onion that fall out of the bun. But, why on earth dice the tomato? More veg left behind than consumed. The fries should have been a cut above, pun intended, but they came out unsalted. Taste fail. read more

Fortunately they pump the food out pretty fast. Burgers are perfection, truly, so simple and just done right. Everything is fresh, cooked just right, seasoned well.

He ordered the macho cheddar cheesy and I got the cheeseburger and we got a plate of fries to share for the table. And it was all for a very reasonable price. Much cheaper than comparable locations in San Antonio. The food was absolutely delicious. His brother said it's the best burger he's ever had. All of the workers were very polite and helpful.

What a great bustling place to get a burger! Burgers were HUGE and messy and delicious. Their fries were just okay to be honest. I still give it 5 stars because they were crowded, boisterous, and fun to eat at. You basically order your food and find a table and you get a buzz and it's time to pickup your food. I like that we saw a lot of families there and people just having a good time. I can see why this place is an institution. read more

There was a young lady there with tattoos who really went above and beyond to help me and my partner out, ensuring we were taken care of. Because of that, the food tasted better and overall feel of the place was better. We felt heard and that's what sold us.

Chris Madrid's is still one of my favorite burgers of all time in San Antonio. The burgers never miss, and after the remodel, the outdoor space is really great and fun to hang out in. Four stars only because the fries have always been a letdown. They have a strange metallic, almost hose-water taste, and they're also pretty bland and under-seasoned. Service is fast but the workers are curt. read more

History

Established in 1977.

In January 1977, with the encouragement of family and friends, Chris Madrid, a University of Texas marketing major, opened Chris Madrid's Tacos and Burgers, in the historic Beacon Hill neighborhood of San Antonio. Since then the legendary burgers have become a fixture in the San Antonio community, serving customers from all over the city and all over the world. After almost four decades, and several expansions, Chris Madrid's has become one of the most iconic burger joints in Texas. It has received numerous awards and recognitions over the years, and is a favorite spot for everyone from college students to politicians to San Antonio Spurs. Chris passed away in March of 2012, leaving behind not only an historic restaurant, but also many friends throughout San Antonio made over the years. He is deeply missed by those who knew him well, but his legacy of warmth, friendship, and service continues to define this place that bears his name.

Beacon House is a 100-year-old building nestled in the heart of the Beacon Hill neighborhood, just north of downtown San Antonio. In 2017, The Park Community Church was generously gifted this charming building and renovated it to create a multi use space that is perfect for coworking, events, meetings, or seminars. Both coworkers and event rentals have access to kitchenettes on both floors of the building, free Wi-Fi, private meeting rooms, flexible large group spaces, virtual meeting capabilities, and audio/visual equipment. Beacon House is also the home to a suite of licensed professional counselors who welcome clients in a safe, private area of the building. We understand the importance of mental health but know that seeking counseling can sometimes be cost-prohibitive. To ease this burden, we are proud to use a portion of the profits generated from coworking and event rental fees to create a scholarship fund that can be used to offset counseling costs.

The dinner service was so nice and all of our guests loved the food, the vibe, and the entire experience. We had our Pastor give a blessing over my daughter in the gazebo area and it was lovely and the trees provided just enough shade and breeze to make the heat very tolerable. The private dressing room was PERFECT for the court to change for the surprise dance and have a little place to cool off when they got hot dancing. The staff kept the restrooms super clean throughout the night and were always around, so I never had to look far when I needed something (which was quite often). I was always met with a smile and outstanding attitude. Whatever the future holds, I can't wait to book another event here. We are grateful for such a special venue and epic party! My baby had the night of her life!

The library also has a great park surrounding it, which is perfect for the Bushnell! Across the other street, Shook, is Trinity University.

However, the average tenant doesn't seem to be Trinity students, it seems to maintain an exclusive atmosphere. The reinforced concrete structure is clad with stucco and cast stone details of Spanish Colonial Revival. The building has a roof balcony, which takes up the entire roof.

The view of downtown and hill country is amazing--especially at sunset. My husband and I got married here and it was the best place in town to tie the knot. It would be good for any special dinner or special occasion though. They have a large space on the floor below the terrace that you could do a dinner inside, and the terrace is an amazing space for dancing and/or the ceremony. The managers couldn't be more helpful and fantastic which is helpful when you don't need any more stress. They do tours of the space at sunset regularly (call for schedule), and it really gives you a great idea of how magical and breathtaking your night can be. If you are looking for the perfect space, you have to check it out. You'd never know that it is there, but if you are looking for an event space then you should!

My husband, Phil, and I waited for 3 years for this wedding because of COVID. At first, it was going to be at Wedgewood Brittany Hill in CO, then it got cancelled because of COVID, then Wedgewood Carmel in CA when things started to reopen, and finally we moved it to Hofmann Ranch because my mom is struggling with complications from her double knee replacement surgeries that were postponed because of COVID and she couldn't fly to CA. The day before our wedding, Southwest cancelled Phil's best man's and his wife's flights, Phil's cousins' flights, and my friend's flights and my uncle had to drive all the way from San Diego the day before the wedding. We were beyond worried and devastated. Because of the Hofmann Ranch team, we felt so secure and so loved and our families and friends were able to meet each other for the first time and connect with each other. Britney thought of everything: making sure that my mom had a place to sit so that she could march with me halfway down the path of the patio deck, she held onto my train, she made a water color Phannie drink sign that was gorgeous, she made sure that we ate, she thought of every single detail and schedule change when our families kept talking and singing (this is what happens when you get a whole bunch of Filipinos together LOL), she made sure that Phil and I ate food, and there are countless other things that I am sure that we don't know about. Giving Britney my bouquet was the only way that I could say how grateful I was for creating a magical place and experience in spite of all the obstacles. Phil and I are so thrilled and feel like we were destined to be married at Hofmann Ranch. You have a special place in our hearts. I hope that your mother liked the bouquet. This is what giving it to you means to me. We would like to express our love and gratitude to Britney, Sara, Chef Daniel, Mark, Joey, Josh, and the Limelight Photography team. Each of you made our day absolutely wonderful. Additionally, Cynthia's cake design and William's flowers were beautiful! I think that anyone who is getting married needs to go to Hofmann Ranch and that Britney and her team need to do their weddings! Thank you to everyone else that we communicated with at Wedgewood over the years and in the months leading up to our celebration. Creating a beautiful experience where our families and friends could meet for the first time and have fun was truly a gift. Have a wonderful New Year and thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. Each of you are a true blessing. May God bless you and your family always and may the Force be with you!

We started with the beet and dill salmon on crostini, which was such a fun and memorable dish. Piling everything on yourself made it interactive, almost playful, and you could make each bite as beautiful as you wanted. The flavors were bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. We ordered all of the entrées--choucroute, hanger steak, and sweet pea risotto--and every single one was delicious. That said, the risotto completely stole the show for me. Creamy and rich without being heavy, it was packed with mushrooms, sweet peas, and delicate pea shoots. The salty, umami depth from the cheese paired beautifully with little bursts of sweetness from the peas--it was honestly exceptional. Outlaw Kitchen is the kind of place where everything works together: the food, the service, and the space. It feels intentional, personal, and special without ever being pretentious. We were blown away on our first visit and can't wait to come back.
