    Came in on a Thursday, half price night! But I came out for a chicken burger. No specials on those. I ordered a chicken burger, and fries. Simple enough. It was nothing special. The chicken was breaded, a thin piece. Not filling at all. The fries had no seasoning and no salt. They did have a good crisp to them though. The service was decent. Nothing special. Took my order and called me up to give me my order. Nothing to call out. I did really want a pecan sundae though, but the machine was broken. That sucked. Not the best intro experience to the place.

    I was so thrilled to see that Murf's offers a veggie burger! And it's only $4! It did not disappoint. It came with lettuce tomato and mayo, and then I added diced onions, pickles, and cheese. I wanted to try both sides--so I got a cheesy fry, and also some onion rings. The cheesy fries were smothered and delicious, perfectly salted. A large portion is only $3.50. The onion rings were crispy and light, very fresh and melt-in-your-mouth good. The drive thru line was long, for good reason. People are willing to wait for something locally made with love, for one heck of a deal! The drive-thru attendant was super bubbly and sweet, and thorough in double checking my order. Love the retro sign and exterior paint job, too! Can't wait to come back.

    Seen a "Reel" on Insta about $2 burgers today and we figured let's go! We ordered Burgers, Onion rings, and a drink and it was a great low cost lunch! The burgers are great here and for $2 a no brainer. Now this is not gourmet, it's drive in fast food quality and priced accordingly. If you are in the area, Id say hit it up and grab a bite you can go wrong. It is however, not so damn good you gotta drive to it from across town. We were served up fast, food was freshly cooked. On a final note, the drive through was always packed and onto the street.

    First time here. My boyfriend used to frequent when it was the original owner. He said they were the best burgers in San Antonio back then so I had to try them out since I'm in the area often. The burger and onion rings were good. Definitely for the price. It was great, but I felt like my bun was a little overcharred (middle of it was black). The patty was thin but meat was seasoned well. The onion rings were tasty just a bit much better for me. Overall was a good experience & i would try again.

    "cheese fries" terrible quality

    Old lady working was RUDE. she cut us off and rushed us at the drive through, didn't get the order right, and failed to give me a receipt. We decided to go in, where she tried to start an argument with me and embarrass me in front of other customers. Upon having to go inside to ask for my receipt, she rudely ripped mine from a crazy long line of other receipts- indicating that she hasn't been giving them to other customers either. Upon inspecting the receipt I noticed she up-charged me a dollar for "extra cheese" on my cheese fries (after already paying the extra money for cheese fries in general) when I didn't ask for it and proceeded to try to argue with me as I attempted to figure out what the charge was for. Finally, she told me that the restaurant has been receiving complains on their cheese fries not having enough cheese so they started up-charging. Doing this without mentioning it to the customer, failing to update prices, and failing to give receipts is unacceptable, on top of that she was being disrespectful and genuinely tried to embarrass me in front of the other customers for calling her out on charging me extra without notifying me. Finally, she ended up taking a dollar change out of the register and slapping it on my hand with blatant disrespect. Totally unprofessional she completely ruins the experience and atmosphere here. Food was trash but I assume she had something to do with the quality of my order

    So good every time! The burgers fries and onion rings are fresh every time! Love the deals!

    If you're just wanted an old fashioned burger, this is the spot. Nothing fancy. Quality meal that fills you up. They actually season the burger meat. Fries are banging, hot out the fryer. On Thursdays they have half price burgers after 5pm. Everything is made to order, so hot and fresh so you may be waiting but it's not long.place appears to be run down but these are the best places to eat. You're not paying for the bells and whistles of the establishment but the service and food.

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!

The food was not the best especially for the price. The drinks on other hand were amazing. My server Marah toke great care of me. Attentive, funny, and well knowledgeable.

Would come back for the drinks and her service. The food on other hand definitely could use some help.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). 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.
