    Service is always great and good is delicious!! Flavor never disappoints. Food is made to order

    Demi B.

    I recently came here for the first time with a few friends and had a great experience. I've passed this snack shack several times on Culebra and have always wanted to try it, so glad we finally did! The bright yellow and red colors on the walls here are very eye-catching. I love the way everything there is set up. They have a nice drive thru space, as well as a neat covered sitting area with several picnic tables. The staff is exceptionally friendly and made us feel very welcome. They went out of their way to ensure that we had a good experience and it definitely made a difference Although it was a bit of wait, we didn't mind. The food was great! I had corn in a cup with all of the toppings and an order of hot dogs. The corn was delicious and tangy. It had just the right amount of toppings in my opinion and I really enjoyed it. The hot dogs were good as well! They didn't taste like the average fast-food dog you'd normally get from a chain. Although they were pretty plain, I really enjoyed the flavor. My friend had the fried pickles and the chili cheese fries. Their review was pretty good but it was hard to get more than a thumbs up and a fierce nod from them since they were so invested in the meal at the moment (LOL). Overall, I highly recommend RJ's Snack Shack. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is amazing, and it's all for a great price!

    Chili dogs

    RJ's really took care of my chili dog craving. I wasn't even hungry, but felt the need to stop and get some. Glad I did. Great chili, great hot dog, great bun, and a lot of cheese on top. Delicious combination. The price is beyond reasonable. Didn't take long to order and get my food. Friendly service.

    Cheeseburger special $5.99 with a side and a drink!!!

    This place is so chill and down to earth we were able to blow bubbles and sit outside and enjoy the nice breeze while we eat, just some good ole family time! The burger was delicious one of the best I've had, everything was fresh even the vegetables tasted fresh the tomatoes weren't mushy like most quick and go burger joints. They have the most bomb ass deep fried wings I've ever had hands down! This is a mom and pop place, most certainly the customer service deserves 5 stars alone. The staff was very friendly, checked on us frequently and the food was darn good!!! I would recommend this place to any one who wants to let the kids be kids and enjoy some delicious food! Don't forget lemonade to go!

    Go to support local business. Stay for the taste of homemade.

    Another must try Westside gem. It's every pregnant woman's dream. Their burgers taste homemade. The family owned business proudly boasts of the namesake, their son, RJ. They give back into the community, and keep the prices reasonable. It's a hotrod hangout that meets a menu for every junk food hangry pang you could possibly imagine.

    I love this place and come by a couple times a week and they are never open. Now they have a sign that says no raspas. I hope the family is ok and are able to get RJs up and running more consistently again.

I was there early so not too many people. Ambiance was good, not too loud or anything. I also got a Mango Chamoy Slushie which was very good, best I ever had. Actually haven't had one before then. This review is actually for about 3 weeks ago. I'm writing it now since they've earned it.

    How have I forgotten this place?! So happy to revisit after a hiatus, cuz their burgers are…read moredeelish! Easy, casual order up at counter, seat yourself and menu is posted above. 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. She helped me pick an outstanding bourbon due to having so many I couldn't decide. She's impeccable at her job didn't have to write anything down had multiple tables and was very efficient. 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.
