Took my order. Waited over 10 minutes and nada. And it was JUST A (one) BURGER! What happened to this place. Sad thing is the drove true window was wide open and there wasn't even meat on the grill. Ridiculous. Stay away! read more

Love this place! Old school gourmet burger. Onion rings are real onions!! They take time to make your burger. Awesome customer service! Will be back for more!!!!! Thank you for existing read more

One of the best burgers I've had. Definitely BEST in San Antonio. You get an old school soda fountain vibe.

My wife and I will never visit this place ever again. To start off we were charged extra for 2 frontier sauces which we were not given. Secondly we asked for well done meat and we get all the way home and the meat is pink. Third Imy wife asked for no tomato and what did she find in her burger besides pink meat freaking tomato. Lastly our onion rings were half cooked. Do we decied to take the food back and they offer to remake it. It was worse than what we got the first time and the cook lady had the nerve to question why we wanted the food remade. Not to mention my chili I ordered and received maybe 5 spoon fulls in my cup. Stay away from here! read more

First of all, if you aren't from San Antonio, you probably need to understand the history of the Frontier Burger and Jim's before you go. The Frontier Burger (double meat) and onion rings (skinny and crispy) are SA standards. Add a shake and you'll sleep in a food coma for hours. The burgers are juicy and the thin patties are cooked to order or MW if you don't specify. The onion rings are famous and I've been eating them for 40+ years. While the other food there is ok, you really want to eat the namesake. Go for it. read more

I'm very unhappy with this place. This is my third time here I ask for a burned it didn't happen. Scott the manager came out states it was not pink inside when I told him it was times three. He kept saying ma'am it was not. He advised I can do it just so you understand it's not something we do normally which of course I understood that's why I asked and asked to have it double checked that it could done. On my ticket the cashier wrote well done/burnt. I will not return for the simple request made became an ordeal of an argument with Scott the manager. read more

I've never tried frontier Burger before, but was in the mood for a charbroil burger. Read a lot of reviews, viewed the pros and cons and went anyway yesterday, December 1. Am I glad that I did. Despite what some people were talking about cold burgers, etc. from the moment, I walked in and walked up to the counter with my friend, Tyrique - hope I spelled that right, young man, greeted, took his time with us, answered any questions we had, and then took our orders, gave us our number and we went to get our drinks and find a table. It wasn't long before they delivered our burgers, fries and onion rings to us. I had the double patty mushroom burger my friend had the regular cheeseburger with fries. I had the onion rings. Food was on point, delicious, charbroil to perfection, exactly what you want to have in the way of a charbroil burger and it's accompaniment. I left that restaurant stuff to the gills, totally satisfied and very happy that I went there. I will be going back regularly. So for you naysayers, I regret that your visits weren't comparable to mine, but let me tell you, for those of you that are of the charbroiled elk, frontier burger will not disappoint. Tyrique and all, thank you for the wonderful service and food you gave me yesterday. I appreciate you very very much. Happy holidays, everyone. By the way, the restaurant was exceptionally clean the tables, clean, and again the food amazing. read more

The environment is hometown with 50's music playing. Friendly staff. Very clean. Smells were the best part. Th burgers were charred (blackened) which my family doesn't love. They look nothing like the ad in which they appear juicy and meaty. We were told they're flame grilled and tend to char but they were crispy patties. The fries were crinkle cut and crunchy too. Personally, my family did not love Frontier Burger but maybe it's an acquired taste. I just couldn't get the char, burnt burger taste out of my mouth to enjoy anything else. read more

They have a great crinkle cut fry, just perfect on crispy, salt is just right. It'll be hard to find a better one. The thin cut onion rings are even better. They are super addicting and I highly recommend. One of my favorites though is the vanilla soft served cone that is chocolate dipped. Make sure you grab extra napkins because you will need them! Burgers are great, fried chicken is on point and the gravy is just as good as anyone else's. Service has always been polite and friendly. I give them 5 *'s because they earned it. read more

Slowest drive-through line in history, Only go through the drive through if you have time to sit there for half an hour.

We ordered breakfast this time around. They offer one of the better breakfasts out there for a fast food place. My husband ordered the tall stack of pancakes with bacon and 2 scrambled eggs. He made it a meal that allowed him to add grits and an orange juice. I ordered the sausage and egg biscuit and also made it a meal with grits and coffee. GRITS!!! Not an easy item to find at restaurants but its unheard of at a fast food place. They were decent too with added butter, salt and pepper. The biscuit was soft and the pancakes were huge! They even have chili on the breakfast menu.coffee is decent. Everything was tasty. Just wished they provided butter with the pancakes and grits. Will return. read more

The best thing about this restaurant is their onion rings hands down. They are the same burgers from the Jim's restaurants all over the city without getting out of the comfort of your car. The price is a little high compared to wendy's or McDonald's, but it's worth it. When you're craving a different type of burger try this place! They have chili which is something I didn't know and they are close to a bunch of bar's so if you're about to drink have a meal before. This is that go to place! read more

I really like Frontier Burger. The hamburgers are charbroiled and made to order. You do have to wait a little longer than a traditional fast food burger joint, but to me, it's worth it. The meal comes with EITHER fries or onion rings, so no extra money is charged. For 2 meals we spent 17.71. The burgers come with mayonnaise as a default, but you can make your burger anyway you want. The restaurant is also VERY clean. Overall, a great place. read more

Big fan of Frontier Burger! We're lucky enough to live close by, but for those who aren't, you might want to consider making the trip. All the food my husband and I have tried has been dynamite! We especially love their onion rings, which are the best fast-food rings around. My personal fav is the crispy hand-breaded chicken salad. I get this 9 times out of 10. Not only is it huge, but it's delicious! The hard-boiled egg is a nice addition to the colorful entree, and the ranch dressing is "da bomb." Another top item is the homemade hand pie (cherry is better than the apple, imho). You can't find homemade hand pies at any other fast-food joint in town (at least that I'm aware of), so that makes this place special and worth a visit! read more

The low score is not about the food or servers. Twice I've tried to order online for pickup. Both times I was told their online ordering for pickup was not working. Yesterday I tried to call in my order and their phone cut off twice. They said it was due to bad weather. The staff can only work with the tools they are given. Management should be forced to work in the servers' shoes to see what staff must to go thru when they don't have good tools to work with. read more

A solid place to grab a bite to eat. Soon as you open the door and your first foot hits inside, your nose will be overwhelmed by the chargrilled burger smell -- it's pretty amazing, I must say. It took me back to the summer of '99 and my grandfather is on the grille with the brown Jesus sandals and all white linen with the shades on talking about "Who wants the next burger? Come and get it!" The place is nice, the service was amazing. I'm confident enough to say it reminded me of Chick Fil A service in regards to "fast food" places. The staff, no exaggeration, smiled the entire time I was there. ALL OF THEM. Super friendly and seemed super happy to be working there. Those things make all the difference. Now to the food, the important stuff -- good. I didn't give it a 5 star rating because of the burger. Moments it being grilled and too over cooked. You get the chargrilled taste like it fresh off the grill at the block party, I loved it, but pieces where it was too cooked, semi burnt. Outside of that, it's good. Id come again without question. Suggestion -- GET THE ONION RINGS. Seriously. I highly recommend it. They were amazing. read more

We are from Austin but were in San Antonio for a funeral. I had saved the name of this place because I either read about it or saw it on TV, and we were not disappointed. The charcoal flavor of the burger makes it so much better, and the burgers are huge. So are the salads. We got an order of onion rings and they were thinly sliced and well battered. They had an old menu displayed, and when I saw fried chicken, I asked about changing my order, and Victor. who I assume was the owner, told me they no longer have it but they do have delicious chicken strips, and he brought us some, along with gravy, and they were soooo good. I wish I had taken pictures of everything but we were starving. Here are pictures of an almost whole chicken strip and their hand pies. I can't wait to dig in! read more

For fast food, this place isn't that bad. Better than Mikey D's or Burger King. We had a doctors appointment in town, and had some time to waste. Friends of mine had previously posted about it, so we decided to make a stop. I ordered a regular old cheeseburger, o rings and a tea. The kiddo got tenders, fries and a "brownie". Why the quotations? Well my kid disagrees.. it's not a brownie she mentioned about 50 times while we ate. I have to admit it's more of a sampling of a brownie, but at 3.99 for the entire kids meal... I'll take it! The burger was fresh, well topped and served in a cool triangle paper. The onion rings got kinda old after half, and wish I had gotten fries instead. They were def better than the orings. Over all, it's a nice addition to the SA area, although we all know Jim's Bill Millers and HEB own everything here. read more

If your thinking about a burger from here you would be better off buying one from 7/11 than here. I got home and started to eat my Burger and a HAIR WAS IN IT !! complete loss of apatite . This place can stay on the frontier as far as I'm concerned. read more

Had a cheeseburger to go, way overdone, dry, burnt and no flavor. The onion rings were delicious . The rest of the families burgers were overdone also, but their's were edible. read more

Not the best burger I have ever had, but I was honestly pretty surprised. Got the patty melt and I know I'm taking a risk saying this but I definitely think it was better then a Whataburgers! The patties were pretty think and definitely not your standard fast food joint burger patties. The char flavor was there and I know I will find myself craving this burgers. Got 2 chicken tenders and their thin cut onion rings and crinkle cut fries to share with the hubby. The batter in the tenders was really flavorful but I forgot to ask for any dipping sauce. Their onion rings were pretty good, but a little too greasy for my liking, but I would definitely get the crinkle cut fries again. Fast drive thru service, will definitely be back! read more

Great burgers and great salads! The food is always fresh, and the wait time is never long. They're expanding their menu all the time and everything we've tried has been awesome. read more

Frontier Burger - They're doing breakfast now!!!! - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I'm always up for a burger that is cooked differently than on a griddle. Frontier uses charcoal to fire up their grill to make their burgers. I went in for the original, a two beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, special sauce between two sesame buns. I liked it. The burger was juicy, but it did taste too much like charcoal; hence the 3 stars. Also the side of crinkle fries were fried too long and were hard. Surprisingly, I didn't know the history of Frontier Burger. I thought it was named after the burger at Jim's but it turns out that this burger joint was a staple in San Antonio back in the 50s and 60s. I guess that's why the clientele was an older crowd. And here I thought I arrived for the early bird special. read more

Frontier Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

After spending nearly $60 on a few combo meals for our family two of the children's meals were missing food items and we had asked for our burgers well done and two of them were raw on the inside. Our household has small children and a person with a weakened immune system eating these burgers in the state they were could of caused serious health issues that could of put any of them into the hospital. I'm giving this one star because this company had plenty of time to prepare for opening and cutting corners with food safety is a result of being understaffed/improperly trained. read more

Frontier Burger - Asked for well done burgers and received multiple burgers the complete opposite. Food safety should be your number one priority. - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

every single time i order something, there's always one thing missing. my side item. how do you miss a whole side item. i seriously think these people cant read read more

This time I give it a 4star. The burgers were slightly dry. However I give a 5+ on the onion rings. They never disappoint me. The locations was convenient and the staff was great. read more

The charcoal grilling make for a great tasting burgers. The burgers are good size and the sides are too. I'm a big eater, and I did not leave with an empty stomach. Plan to spend about $9-10 per person. I would definitely go to Frontier Burger again. read more

My wife and I love a good burger and every once in a while we treat ourselves to a frontier burger. Now you can go to any Jim's restaurant and get a good one, but you have to go to Frontier Burger to get a great one. There's something about cooking the meat over a charcoal flame that is magical. I challenge you to go to a Jim's restaurant and try a frontier burger cooked on a flat top and then try one cooked over a charcoal flame from Frontier Burger and not taste the difference. The frontier burger here in my opinion, is incredible. Now you ask, if it's so incredible why only three stars? Every time I come here the place looks dirty. Crumbs on the tables, trash not only in the recepticals but also on them. Employees standing around while the place looks like this is not good. If they would keep this place looking clean it could be a five star restaurant. I hope someone is listening. read more

Oh Frontier Burger. The original. The Jim's burgers older twin. When I decided to go to frontier burger I hadn't realized that it was going to be the opening weekend. I had heard through various people that they had just opened so my family and I decided to stop by. This was kind of a bad time to go being that they were SUPER busy. They were so busy the drive through was around the building in a circle and parking was a bit tricky to find. Thankfully we finally were able to park and head inside. When we did the restaurant was again really packed with people. *NOTE* if you enjoy your burgers well done (like I do) be sure to let them know because even at Jim's they make all their burgers Medium-rare. I didn't remember this so biting into my burger surprised at seeing red wasn't too much fun but i'll get to that later. We ordered our burgers I ordered a cheeseburger as did my parents my dad a double. They come with crinkled fries and a drink. Im not sure if this establishment was getting their intercom system set up or if they're taking it old school. What I mean by this is, we were waiting for our order and instead of using a microphone or posting the numbers on a screen they call them out. Yes, They have someone either looking for the customer the order pertains to or if they're brave attempt to yell out the number over other people talking. I feel like this kind of affects the ordering process and it can really get some orders mixed up. Thankfully everything on our end came out okay although we did wait for 45 minutes at least which is expected being it was opening day weekend. We decided to take the burgers to go since there were no available tables to sit down and eat. When I arrived home I was so excited to try the burger. When I bit into it the meat was red and medium rare. I was so disappointed then I remembered that all their burgers are medium rare. That was my bad. Other than that the fries were really good and I love the Jim's burgers which are essentially the same thing so I would've enjoyed my burger more had it not been medium rare. Overall, Frontier burger is a pretty good place and I recommend! read more

Frontier Burger is the best burger I've tasted in the San Antonio area. I will take them over whataburger any day of the week! Always great food. Highly recommend read more

The Charbroile burgers are great with exception of the size. The burger is too small for the price. The menu items ordered: combo meal: burger, onion rings & a beverage. The onions rings and the burger were cold and not properly made as I requested, mustard on both sides of the bread. So I asked one of the workers for some mustard and I put the mustard on my burger. Other than that fiasco, the burgers and onion rings are delicious. I also had a sample of the chicken tender - EXCELLENT!!! The chicken was real chicken beast tender, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. I would recommend Frontier Burger for a meal. read more

Walked into Frontier Burger today and was quite impressed. For a fast food burger place it was very relaxed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff was fast and accurate. They all smiles and seemed to be having a good day as well. I ordered a #2 no onions and my son orders a #5. (Pics will be posted) we got our cups and walked over to the fountain machine. Another customer was actually next to us singing along to the old school music it made this trip even better. About 9 mins later our food came out. They called out " number 13 please raise your hand". My son raised his had and our food was right over. The food looked and tastes great. Fries were crispy and fresh. Overall I had a great experience and even saw a family with three kids enjoying the fries. It was nice. We will definitely be back to enjoy the grill flavored burgers. read more

Onion rings are delicious and the staff is always professional and nice! My boys love to stop by here.

Best charcoal burgers in town! I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the service there either, especially from the Manager, Alexa. She will do whatever's necessary to make your visit a memorable one! read more

This was a disaster of a meal. How many times that they say they gave you all your order. I spent $35 for 2 burgers and etc. Once I got to my destination I find the missing item that was for me. I called and was told they would replace my order. I returned the next day to find that it is for half. Ok I took the accommodation and vowed never to return. To expensive with poor service. I have had this before and never asked. My feelings are the same after calling. I hate this type of stuff. But the lack of customers says everything. read more

Not the old-fashioned Frontier flamed burgers and toasty buns I recall as a kid in the 70's. They're ok, but not worth $6+ for a basic burger. BTW: the sweet thousand islands dressing dominated the taste and took away from flamed taste I was looking for :-( Today there is so much competition (especially around the 410 & Broadway) for old fashioned burgers -- I probably will stick to the two others that come to mind. Or just grill my own... I can find just as good or better beef at HEB. If I'm not in the mood to grill, it'll be a short visit to my my old standby...Whaterburger-- they'll at least bring me napkins, and condiments... With A Smile and cheerful attitude! read more

This was the first time me and my family ate at frontier Burger -based off of recommendations of work friends. My first impression walking in wax the place was clean nice Decour and of course the smell of charbroiled burgers in the air. I ordered two kids meals and two adult meals which we received minutes of us ordering. You could tell right off the back everything was rewarmed. Not one single item of our burgers or french fries were made fresh! The burgers were rubbery you could tell they have been sitting in a warmer and the french fries were room temperature and or cold. We had invited some friends with us and their food was just at disappointing in regards to not being fresh. We will never visit this establishment again and I'm extremely disappointed because this is a Jim's restaurant and we love Jim's. read more

Okay this is really good charcoal grilled burgers!! Their chicken tenders are also extremely tasty. I recommend the chili burger and freedom rings . Dang their fries are super crispy and their onion rings are thin and crispy! My fav way! Go here and you won't be disappointed read more

Great onion rings! And the Pattie's are delicious too. I just wish they had another location. But all is good I would drive to get my fix.
