Hawaiian burger and seasoned fries.
Richard M.

I recommend this little spot in downtown. The burgers are good and the service was friendly and attentive. Order at the bar then find a seat. There are a few inside tables and a ton more outside. I had the Hawaiian, it comes with a really good smashed patty, spam and pineapple slice with a sweet teriyaki sauce. It was like Pulp Fiction: that is a good burger! Fries were freshly made and well seasoned. I'd come back.

Corn Dog Nuggets and Queso - I'm getting them both again!

I had a feeling I was going to like this place, but I LOVED it! I was waiting to go on the First Friday to watch that particular band and they didn't disappoint. It was a little chilly but the heaters were on and amazing! I got happy hour snacks, corn dogs and queso which were so good! Can't wait to take my visitors here!

Yay, i finally made my way to Smash'd! i've been wanting to come here for quite awhile and im glad i finally did. The bartenders Leah & Jewel are amazing, attentive and so sweet! My boyfriend and I got the shot of the day "dirty pear" it was delicious! The food is to die for, we loved the seasoned fries and tots! Great music, it all the vibes. I recommend friends :)

Large party, ordering was kind of chaotic. We order two soft drinks and got charged for four. Had a variety of foods burgers, chicken and burrito. Diablo chicken was really yummy. And the loaded fries delicious. The fries have a slightly sweet sugar coating. Made them really interesting. The carne asada burrito was big, as was the California burrito. The burgers were juicy and tasty.

We came here after my daughter's graduation and they had no problem accommodating our party of 25. August was great with taking our orders, making recommendations, and checking on us. They have everything from HUGE, delicious burgers to chicken wings, and kids meals. Everyone left satisfied. By the way, they have a full bar and extensive beer menu. They even sell beer by the ounce so you can sample.

Super cool atmosphere w great burgers. Don't get the chicken sandwiches as they aren't what a Texan expects. They taste like a meat alternative and they have coleslaw instead of lettuce. The fried pickles are spears and crispy...very good. A huge outdoor patio and self-pour beer wall are the highlight. This would be a great place for a bday party or end of year celebration. Lots of open space for getting loud and enjoying great music/tv.

The food was fantastic. The service was phenomenal. Very attentive. We were watching football games at the same time. The ambience was lively. I will definitely be going back here on Sundays.!!

The fajita smash with seasoned fries and the mule.
Ryan S.

First time here and was not disappointed. We sat outside which was calm and not terribly busy. We dealt with flies and then found out after we were done that they have those table top spinning things that deter flies so we will use that next time. Service was quick and friendly. We got smash burgers of course which were great. We heard a few people mention the wings and my wife said a guy was slurping on the sauce from his so I went and ordered some with the hot honey glaze and the spice buffalo. The wings were great. Cooked just right and the sauces were awesome. Can't wait to return.

California burrito
Neyda V.

One of my favorite local spots! I'm absolutely obsessed with their California burrito -- it's the only thing I order, and it never disappoints. The live music and great ambiance make it a perfect place to hang out. Service is always excellent. While I'm not the biggest fan of some other menu items, that burrito keeps me coming back. Definitely recommend! It would be nice if they had some games perhaps board games and/ or cornhole.

Love the outdoor space! Shade and misters to keep you cool, beautiful place to hang out with friends. Tonight we tried a smash burger and the poblano chicken which were both fantastic. Friendliness is not their strong suit but it didn't take long for the food to arrive.

Dinner menu

Delicious! We went and it happened to be happy hour which is daily 5 til 7 pm. The apps are half off and $2 off cocktails. The smash's burgers are very unique and great, with a side of seasoned fries. Made with Texas Wagyu beef. They had chicken sandwiches also that I'll try next time. We sat indoors but they have a big outdoor seating area that seemed nice also. Pretty plants around the property. Street parking was available, not sure if they had a parking lot! Highly recommend.

Super cute place. Lots of outdoor seating and bonus! A stray kitty showed up, begging for leftovers. He was handsome and kind. We got the asada fries, based on the cashier's advice. Not a bad choice. They had a very lime-y taste. I think it was the fries themselves, hubby said it was the avocado. My husband got the plain jane burger... mustard, homemade pickles, cheese and a sauce, also based on the cashier's advice (against the Philly). For me, the burger was too plain. There was one w a hash brown patty and a fried egg and another with grilled pineapple, so many choices, but the hubby isn't very adventurous. The buns were yummy. Only three stars bc I wasn't in love with his burger. I'd go back for another burger tho, and probably would increase my rating.

Smash'd burger, fries, draft.
Steve G.

I have wanted to try this for a while, and the wait was worth it it! The burger is fantastic. I love a patty that is a little loose, well cooked, and served on a fresh roll. The Smash'd burger is perfect. Mustard, pickle, cheese and a big patty on a sourdough bun. The seasoned fries are cooked right but I didn't like the hint of sweetness in the seasoning. Draft beer selection is strong, and the outdoor area is very nice, 4 tv's, a small stage for music, and a pour your own draft yard. I will come back for an evening! Service was great, Dorset at bar, delivered to your table.

They have keto buns!!! But it's hit and miss, i've gone a handful of times where they didn't have…read morethem or times where the bun is extremely small. But they do lettuce wrapped, still not the same though. The service is always great since I have the extra modifications. The ambiance is nice, we are able to hear each other speak even though there are tv's playing. I'm a sucker for their bistro burger and the cucumber cup as a side.

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Woohoo! Been looking for chili cheese fries and happened upon a review for this place boasting fries with a homemade chili so we HAD TO stop in tonight. THE LOCATION: on the very end of a string of businesses in a strip mall that I've never been in before, so that was cool. Lots of parking, that'll never be an issue. And right off the 410. THE MENU: Burgers, dogs, Mexi-style munchies and a variety of frozen dessert-type items like shakes, frozen fruit concoctions and Italian ice. THE STAFF: I wasn't overwhelmed with a warm welcome and smiles, at least from the guys. Lol! They should really work on that. There was a sweet gal who ran out our food orders and she was great. THE FOOD: I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich deluxe with tots and a sweet tea. The grilled chicken was juicy and cooked well and the bun was lovely, slightly sweet and toasted. Overall, the sandwich could've used more flavor, like a creamy bbq spread and cheddar instead of the "Swiss" cheese that tasted more like American cheese. But overall, 7/10. The tots were extra crispy and the guy who took my order didn't take heed to my request for ranch. I was too lazy to get up again so I settled for ketchup. The sweet tea was nicely sweet and fresh, I'll be sipping this in my dreams. The hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and an Oreo cookie shake. The burger looked good and he ate it quick, so there's that. This guy can EAT so it surprised us both when he slowed down fast after eating that burger. Lol! He kept saying how filling it was, but then he also killed a large shake before the food arrived, so there's that. He ate most of his chili cheese fries, leaving me a few bites to sample. Not bad. I order a Coco Haven frozen dessert to go and omg is this thing delightful! Vanilla ice cream and coconut Italian ice (?) with a blue snow cone-like syrup drizzled throughout. I loved the texture of what I believed to be Italian ice. Smooth and flaky, a perfect icy dessert. OVERALL: decent eatery, the hubby said we can go back (LOL!) Shockerrrrr! But I recommend the staff tries harder to make customers feel welcomed and comfortable. The next visit will be telling.

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.)

Had a hankerin' fer a dawg. So after taking a few rolls of 120mm film to Digital Pro to be…read moredeveloped, I headed to The Dogfather with glee. 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.

This is an official Local Favorite of mine! Dogfather is in a really low key location, and when you…read morewalk in the vibe is completely chill. 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.

5/5 Stars - Pumpers just saved my burger soul, fr fr Yo, I'm…read morefrom Austin originally, straight grew up smashing Dirty's on the Drag like it was my religion back in the day. Those thin, greasy, flattop-smacked patties with the crispy edges and buns soaked in all that beef juice? Man, that's what raised me. Then life hit, moved to Houston, and I was posted up right by Lankford Grocery--hitting that spot constant for their juicy, no-bullshit hand-patted burgers that hit the same old-school greasy spoon vibe. Houston kept me fed, but I always felt like something was missing. Moved to San Antonio and bro... I was LOST. Wandering around like a damn fool chasing that perfect hot-griddle smash burger that reminded me of home but didn't suck. Everything was either too fancy or straight-up mid. All the other spots in SA are just dry humpers, bro--teasing you with a bun rub but no real satisfaction. To get that full burger penetration, the juicy deep-dive you actually crave, you gotta pull up to Pumpers. This place is like the engineered lab version for us adults who grew up on Dirty's and Lankford. They took everything we loved about those classic greasy spoons--the loose, coarse, fatty beef balls smashed thin on that screaming hot griddle for the crispy lacy edges, the cheese melting into every crevice, that potato/milk bun sopping up all the grease and juices without falling apart--and turned it into straight PERFECTION. Juicy as hell, seasoned perfect, that char... it's hot ass shit. The vibes are adult (21+ after 9, cheeky as hell), the fries slap, and every bite takes me back but better. No more searching, I found my spot. Only knock? They need to up their beer game heavy. It'd be straight fire if they featured real Texas beers on tap instead of those national queers. Everything else though? Pumpers got me feeling like a kid again but with grown-man money and zero regrets. If you're from that same bloodline of Texas flattop burgers, stop what you're doing and get here. Best I've had in years, hands down. 10/10, will be a regular till they kick me out. (Pro tip: Get the classic with extra cheese and thank me later.) I love the atmosphere, but I would not stay and eat my burger there because the beers suck. There's not a single Texas beer from a small Independent Brewer, and that sacrilegious in my opinion. Also the fact that they have no hot peppers that aren't candy coated, glazed, bullshit, but they're still a 10 out of 10 even though the lettuce should be shredded like my abs.

This is the second time I've gotten the Culo Melt burger. It's BOMB. It has a nice kick to it and…read morethe sweet jalapenos compliment it well. I will always come here after drinking at Hops & Hounds down the street. It is definitely the best spot in walking distance to grab a bite to eat. The service has been great the last two times I've gone. No complaints there. I also got the Bushwacker drink and it tasted just like a milkshake. It was delicious as well. Very dangerous, but delicious nonetheless lol. There was plenty of seating and the cones they give for your order are super cute.
