    Shoe leather burger

    The entire experience feels like they are very annoyed to have you in their restaurant. We have been coming to LC for years- off and on. This is the first time they only bothered to even unlock half the doors. The only entry door unlocked in the one clearly marks "EXIT ONLY"- which left us wondering if they were even open. There was no line when we ordered, and the cashier was definitely not happy to be disturbed w something so trivial as taking an order. The food took FOREVER to get and when we got it, the burgers were over done to the point of being awful. The fries didn't arrive until 5 min after the burger. The tots were good. I think we will stay with the Blanco Rd location from now on. This one consistently sucks.

    First time visiting Monday, August 4 about 3:00pm. Not what I expected in a 'cafe'. You walk in, order and sit till they call your name and go get your food. The cashier seemed distracted but friendly, gave us some recommendations. Grandson had chicken tenders and fries, they were large fillets and he wasn't able to eat all of it. I got a regular cheese burger and my Mom got a turkey & provolone sandwich. The burger & sandwich came with everything (mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions). We split the sandwiches so we could some of each. They came with a side and we got onion rings and sweet potato fries. Everything was tasty. The onion rings could have been a little crisper, but they were good. The decor was mainly sports memorabilia with a few drink signs and mounted antlers/heads. Sorry forgot to get pics of the food as I was hungry, lol. Would definitely go back to try other items.

    I came here with some friends after an event feeling really hungry. We arrived here in time before the lunch rush came in, so we were able to get our order in quickly. You order the food in the front, and you find yourself a seat until they call your name to get your food at the counter. There were a good number of tables that really needed to be cleaned up and had trays/trash left on that remained even after we left the place. I'm not sure they were short staff that day but was unfortunate. The staff mentioned dropping one of our burgers by accident and working to cook us a fresh one quickly when our name was called. I did appreciate them being attentive to my friend to get them new burger and they were very nice. I had ordered a guacamole burger, which was decent. They really did lay the guacamole and toppings on this burger but didn't find it fancy or anything. Fries and tots were decent though and my friends said they liked their burger a lot, which was a veggie burger. It was a decent pit stop for a quick bit to eat. If in the area again, I would consider eating here again but wouldn't go out of my way for it. Decent prices for the meals.

    Stopped in due to a craving for a burger & onion rings 'to-go'. My 'shroom & Swiss burger on gluten-free bun was meh'. The HUGE disappointment was the darn crappy onion crust (was supposed to be onion rings-but have a look at my pics and you be the judge). By far the worst onion rings I've ever had. Definitely not worth $14+, just grab a Whataburger and save yourself the frustration. I really would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this Longhorn, I have had more satisfying food at other Longhorn locations. If I lived closer, I would have take this crap back for a refund. Not a happy customer.

    To go order of fries. Not crispy at all.

    To go order for an Impossible burger with fries and a drink. Order came to $19. Ouch. I know places up charge for impossible meat but dang. I guess since I got cheese too it blew up the order. I had high hopes for this, but it didn't pan out. I was told they are a great place for burgers. That was not my experience. The lettuce was crisp, good looking and tasting veggies. Just no taste to the burger. Even the fries were sad. Not crisp at all. Overall not a good food experience. The service was good. The waitress was super nice. But my food was just food. I heard good things about the onion rings, if I'm in the area again I'll give those a try.

    Chicken fried steak ded

    Service fast food not so good must have been a bad night onion rings were good friendly staff though

    This place is so hit-and-miss. Last time I was here, I had the chicken fried steak. It was really good. Today I had the chicken fried chicken. It was pounded really thin and it was dry and overcooked. Not their best effort. Disappointed.

    Make sure they take your order correctly because they have a tendency to forget the simplest order.

    Fantastic cooked from scratch. Onion rings are just outrageous best I've had. Beer is cold.

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!

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.
