It has been nearly a decade since my last visit - wow! We were looking for a place that appealed to everyone in the group and this fit the bill. I remember the burgers being huge unwieldy monsters that required dexterity and at least 5 napkins. Things have changed. I had the guacamole burger this time and everything was absolutely perfect! Burgers come with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion standard, but you can opt out of whatever you don't like. The amount of guac was well proportioned with the rest of the burger. The bun is hearty enough to withstand the burger and its fillings but definitely NOT thick, heavy, or too much for the sandwich. The sandwich itself is smaller than the over-the-top burgers they used to serve, but they are a great value for the price and a more reasonable serving size, even for a big appetite. Service was with a smile. The only downside is the building itself. While I love the vibe and that so much has changed around this place while the restaurant itself stays the same, it could use a bit of a refresh. It was clean! No complaints there; but a wee bit of paint would not go amiss. Def on my list for my next SA visit. read more

Been here a couple of times with the family and the location never disappoints. The food is good and savory. The staff very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The service is quick and very family oriented environment. read more

I will not come back. I told the cook the mushrooms were overcooked. Everybody looked like they got upset. They gave me the other ones like they were paying for them out of their pocket the hamburger look like had something in it so we will not be back ever. read more

This was our first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately the cleanliness was concerning enough that it affected our ability to enjoy the meal. There was visible dust and spiderwebs throughout the dining area. The ketchup bottles on our table were greasy and dirty, the drink dispenser appeared dirty, and even the napkins on the table looked soiled enough that I was hesitant to use them. There were also dirty brooms and dustpans lying on the floor in view of the dining area while we were eating. My husband used the restroom and said it was in very poor condition as well. What made this more surprising was that the restaurant was not busy during our visit. There were very few customers inside and several employees present, so it did not appear that the condition of the dining area was simply the result of an unusually busy rush. I later looked at the restaurant's health inspection report and was concerned to see that it also documented sanitation issues, including moldy food in refrigeration, grease buildup in kitchen areas, and a dirty ice machine. Seeing those findings after what we observed during our visit made me even more uncomfortable about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant and food-preparation environment. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, and my intention is not to insult the business. I genuinely hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements. A clean and sanitary environment is especially important when food is being prepared and served, and unfortunately the conditions we observed made us uncomfortable enough that I lost my appetite and left concerned about food safety. read more

1. My wife's burger was not cooked to order, my Big Juicy was not "juicy" and they also did not add bacon as I requested. The tots and onion rings tasted like stale oil. Very disappointed. 2. This restaurant needs a serious DEEP cleaning from a professional company, not employees, especially the restrooms. Yuck. 3. The counter order taker was robotic. Just reciting the same script and not very personably. 4. Been coming here for years, but will not return or recommend until improvements are made. read more

The Blanco Road Longhorn Cafe is a must-stop, even if the parking is a little tricky! That Original Big Juicy burger is Texas-sized and lives up to its name--thick, juicy, and just classic. You absolutely have to get the tots with shredded cheese (a side item that's perfect for sharing!) and wash it all down with an ice-cold Big Red. This is the best kind of local burger joint, serving up serious comfort food. read more

Food is always great! However, came in for a quick lunch, not too busy maybe 5-6 tables were occupied (1:00PM). Our "host" wasn't at all pleasant or friendly. I was kind of shocked because usually everyone is nice at the other locations we've been too. This was our first time at the Blanco Rd location. The "host" rattled off the scripted dialogue that been used a thousand times I'm sure. No smiles, or happiness came from the "host". While my wife was placing her order with the "host", she was cut off by the "host" if this was a combo or not. Ok, combo please. Before my wife could speak to say no tomatoes, the "host" asked everything on it, anything else?? I replied I would have the double meat (which includes double cheese). The "host" asked, double meat double cheese? (Thinking in my head, Well, yes, that is what the big menu says). Take note, this all took about 15-20 seconds for the "host" to complete our order, it was so fast and rushed. Destroyed the spelling of my name by the way, I'm a man with a beard. Lastly, my wife asked for a to-go cup for her drink, the "host" in a shoving manner, gave her a cup. While we love Longhorn Cafe, after this experience, we'll stick to our favorite locations and avoid Blanco Rd. read more

Not sure why reviews are so high. The burgers were not fresh. It was as if they were 1/4 lb frozen patties. The flavor was bland and the food was warm, not hot. I had high hopes based on reviews and old, local spots are typically gems but not this place. read more

The food is fabulous!!!! The burgers are juicy and taste great! The chicken fried steak the hubby had was really good as well the Mac n cheese was out of this world. We left another place because of their inability to seat people in a timely manner and we found the Longhorn Cafe! Thank God we left the other place because the Longhorn Cafe was the best food we have had on this trip!!! read more

This is one of my hamburger hangout spots. I love Longhorn Cafe's hamburgers and this spot is my preferred location. It is also the original one, so there is that distinction. Longhorn's hamburgers, in my opinion, are the best. They are juicy, big and filled with tomato, lettuce pickles and mayo. For people who like their hamburgers full, this is the best. Their service is also pretty good. Regardless, of how many people they have( and this place does fill up), they get those hamburgers out quickly. For hamburgers, this place cannot be beat. read more

Gentrification is in every direction in San Antonio, but Longhorn Cafe still gives me that nostalgic vibe that I long for in every comfort food establishment. They're primarily a burger joint and the kind that comes with zero pretense or caloric restriction. in other words, come for the food coma and bring some good company. The setup is simple: head the counter, order the food, and find a place to sit. There are picnic benches and various group tables scattered across their dining area, along with the kind of decor that makes them family friendly and an ideal place for a casual meal. The staff is usually a lineup of young folks, usually in full hustle mode while making and serving food. While I felt the burgers were a bit dressed up / messy, the actual (angus) burger patty was nicely cooked and full of flavor. The Big Juicy is their signature burger and it lived up to the juicy hype. They also have non-beef alternatives, from turkey to chicken sandwiches and the veggie blackbean. There are also hotdogs and even a frito pie. The chili fries, nachos, and tots all made for gut-bomb worthy sides, though I was most impressed with the fried dill pickles and jalapeño poppers. They also have fried chicken and fried fish dinner combos. Couple this with any of their bottled beers or drinks on ice and it's most definitely a meal. They have plenty of local support and I can see the appeal. Whether it's lunch or an impromptu dinner with a penchant for all things fried, Longhorn Cafe is a worthy stop for a cheat day meal. read more

Terrible service. Can never get the gravy for my Chicken Fried Steak. And Dasher cannot check it when picking up. Also they do not let you get your burger different on any of their specials. So Not worth the haste getting food here. And restaurant itself needs a little work. read more

I just received a cheese burger and onion rings via Door Dash. My burger is almost raw and I won't eat it. I cut it in quarters and took a couple of bites. The texture was mushy. Not what you expect from a burger. It was drowned in mayo making it a mess to try to eat. It is going in the trash. The onion rings were great. read more

If you are ever craving a fried fish sandwich I highly recommend you satisfy your crave at Longhorn Cafe. This was possibly the best fish sandwich I've had in town. Super delicious, super crispy yet super moist fish on the inside, perfect amount of tartar sauce.. with a little bit of lettuce and tomato. .. This picture does no justice for the size of this sandwich. The service here is always great and the restaurant is always clean. read more

I love Longhorn cafe food. Today was not about the food it was about what was coming from the kitchen. One of the cooks dropping f bombs throughout his loud story that the restaurant could hear. Then the music.... "N" words and "F"words. There is no reason to play that during business hours. Eminem doesn't need to be played unedited in a restaurant. read more

Food was great for afternoon dinner.. but the service. The girl with the nose ring really made this place a "won't be back location for us" . We did have a relatively large order as this was our first time visiting. We were called up to pick up our order. After picking I went up to ask about the 2 milkshakes that were missing. I was met with an aggressive rude "rolling of the eyes. " they are not ready yet we will call you when they are ready. About 20 min after the order was called we got the shakes.. This all while she's texting and complaining about order to her coworkers. 5/26/2025 - 7pm read more

It's been a minute since I was here last. So let's just jump right in. We had burgers, onion rings and fries for lunch. The Bacon Cheese Burger was the pick of the table. It was great. The fries and onion rings hit just right. Longhorn Cafe never disappoints :-) If you've never been, go grab a burger read more

Longhorn Cafe looks like what everyone thinks a Texas burger bar should look like. Wooden tables and wall accents crowd the edges while an island of beer bottles drowns in front of the ordering line. The open kitchen is a fun sight as you wait to order and does smell good. The signature Big Juicy is the popular choice - a burger with a beef patty, veggies, and toasted buns. Unfortunately neither that burger or the others on the menu pack much flavor. They should taste more interesting than beef and vegetables. However, the tater tots are an excellent compliment and would be a welcomed addition to any burger menu. It does help that staff is friendly and that there's ample parking. You'll never have trouble finding a spot. This really is a locals choice and it's easy to see why thanks to staff, the outdoor patio, and fun vibe. read more

We went here today. Great food and service. They really don't know how to do onion rings extra crispy, but that's ok. I had the bacon cheeseburger, 1/2 onion rings 1/2 tator tots. My friend had their fried chicken salad, and it was huge! Love their ranch, too. $18.00 for mine, but the salad was 11. read more

My first time here. They were rather busy but we waiting maybe 15 minutes for our two burgers which were made to order. Everything hot and fresh. The burgers are huge, onions are sliced thin, and jalepenos are a good amount of heat. Tator tots weren't that crispy but they're good. French fries were better in my opinion. Service was great, workers were really chill and had great music playing in the kitchen for the staff. read more

Longhorn makes probably the best hamburger you will have in San Antonio. They are in our neighborhood, and we have been going there for years. This evening, however, was an unpleasant experience. Although the burgers were excellent, a young woman in the kitchen was talking way too loudly and hurling the f--k words and s--t words like an uncontrollable fire on the stove. They should let her go work in a sleez joint which Longhorn certainly is not. Clean up her mouth or boot her. Stick to making those juicy hamburgers and your friendly family environment. read more

Great, juicy, large burgers that require a knife to cut in half. Great lunch specials that include fries and drink. Basic meal at a decent price. Service They call out your name once you place the order at the front. The seating is tables chairs and long picnic tables. There's also indoor and outdoor seating. You do NOT bus your own table. You get your own fountain drink. read more

Casual dining at it's best. Order "it your way" at the counter as you watch the staff create other patrons masterpieces. Pick up your food and prepare to dig in. I love the swiss and mushrrom burger with crunchy skinny onion rings. My husband roates his choices, but always adds french fries- he loves his Longhorn fries. Sit at a table or on a bench, family style. There are multiple locations around the city - I have enjoyed every one that we have been to! read more

I been here before I started the yelping and my opinion of this place is you must come and enjoy delicious burgers,fries, specially onion rings.

Longhorn Cafe - Bacon Jalapeño Cheeseburger... do it - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

From the road this place looks like it can only seat 10, but it is fairly spacious. They are a burger place with lots of fried foods. I had the "horn" which was two hamburger patties sandwiching jalapeños and cheese, smothered in onions. The flavor was pretty bland, and it was extremely greasy. My sides were green beans, cooked with bacon, and a house salad. This would normally warrant a 3 star for being ok to me. Unfortunately, once I returned to work, I had to make multiple trips to the rest room for ... the squirts. Not going back there, but it is very popular with the locals. read more

Awful, awful, awful service. We are still waiting for our food after more than 17 people have been served after us. The bathrooms smell like sewage, and I cannot speak for the food as we have been waiting more than 30 minutes for our food - everyone after us has already received and left. Front desk/order counter was rude, and the staff in the back was also rude. Never coming back. Don't waste your time here. read more

A staple that knows how to make a burger. Since it was my first visit, I had to go with the Original Big Juicy and a side of fries. When someone thinks about enjoying a good, quality burger, this is what they mean. Quality ingredients with perfect ratio, and just the right amount of grease to soak into the bun. Eating here just feels like San Antonio. Definitely not somewhere I can only visit once! read more

I e been to the Blanco location ever since they were just the one location. I ordered the cheeseburger lunch special as did my wife. She got the tater tots and I got the fries. The burgers were just what we were looking for - the cheeseburger craving. Her tots were really good, my fries not so much. In hindsight, I probably should have ordered the onion rings. All in all a great casual lunch and $15 for burger fries and a drink with tip is a good deal. I've heard their huntsman location is really good but I'd stay away from their nacodoches location - it's dirty and the food quality sub par. read more

I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with some fried pickles. I was not disappointed, although my personal expectation maybe have been to want a thicker chicken patty. It was a pleasant experience with enough seating even during a lunch rush. The prices are a little steep but very slightly. Great place to meet a friend and even have a work lunch with a large group without reservations like we did. Thank you! read more

Omg this place is delish! The long lines prove it too. Thankfully we ordered to-go. We ordered two burgers and split a half fries half onion rings basket. Way too much food for any two people to eat in one sitting. I had the big juicy and juicy it was!!! The bun was grilled perfectly with all of the right crispness on the edges. The burger was tasty and the produce was fresh. The husband had the jalapeño burger and he loved his as well. The fries were on the soggy sad sides and no seasoning on them but those onion rings were a tangled mess of perfectness. Definitely order the onion rings! This is going to be our new go to burger place now that our place shut down towards the beginning of the pandemic. Soooooo good!!!! read more
