ZOJAH Burger - These fries are perfect. Crispy and soft inside. 10/10 - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

What's not to love about this place? The location is convenient and easy to get to (with tons of parking in two parking lots on both sides of the building), fast service, delicious food, and an upbeat modern vibe inside that doesn't get in the way and lets you enjoy your food and conversation. I ordered a double patty smashburger, with jalapeños, wrapped in lettuce - and let me tell you: it was very satisfying. Could I have had more? Yes. Should I have? No. So I didn't. Their fries are good, too, but they're not the main attraction here. One kid tried the chicken nuggets and wasn't a fan, so maybe there's room for improvement (or maybe she's just very particular about her chicken nuggets). She ended up with a cheeseburger and was very content. We're looking forward to coming back! read more

Not sure what I am missing. This is a new burger joint on Hubner Rd. They basically have smash burgers. We ordered a single patty smash with fries at drive through with only one car in front of us and were told 25 minutes. Huh?! We canceled the order. read more

Gotta say, wasn't impressed. The best thing that stood out the most were the fries (fried in beef tallow) and their special Zojah sauce. The spicey chicken sandwich was a giant chicken strip in a burger bun. But guess what? They were the same size as Dave's Hot Chicken "sliders" and you can choose your spice level. PLUS - you get TWO of them with fries for about the same as we paid for those one with fries. The Smashed burger was fine. But nothing memorable. You can go elsewhere- I can name at least 3 chains that's has smash burgers and you get lettuce and tomato on it too - not just onion and pickles. Two burgers and one spicy chicken sandwich - all with fries- and ONE SODA - $51. The price point is not worth it so it's a one and done for us. Oh and... It's in a small strip mall and on a Saturday night like when we went (5ish) -- the area was so packed and couldn't find parking. (The establishment itself is quite small.) read more

I ordered the double cheese burger with fries and an Oreo shake. The burger was delicious! I like that the meat was crispy. The fries were the best! I love the crispness of the fries. The price is based off burger and fries and it's close to $20 which I think is steep. That is not including a drink. Yikes! The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Service was great but the staff did forget my shake and I had to ask 10 minutes after receiving our food. read more

Came here for lunch with my wife and friends. First, I made a mistake when checking in. They do have 2 Gender Neutral/ Family bathrooms. I ordered the Zojah Double burger with Fries and a Lemonade. The burger was big ad delicious, my friends were wondering how I was going eat the burger because the smash burger was bigger than the bun. The fries were crispy and delicious, being well seasoned. And the Lemonade was tasty and refreshing. read more

Waiting to try this place because of good reviews. We had a double burger which overwhelmingly tasted of really burnt hamburger meat. (Smash burgers should not be reduced to pieces of overdone crispy meat.) Chicken sandwich was mediocre. Fries were very very salty! Not for us!! In addition-- no unsweet tea and Coca Cola Light tasted weird. read more

A friend sent us this recommendation from TikTok. And we were in the area. We are NE side people so being on the NW side was a bit of a drive. Clean store, not so great parking. And otherwise just what appears to be a burger place. It was nice. Cashier was nice since we haven't been we asked questions and she answered them well. Explained what was popular and what she liked. I had the jalapeño burger with fries and took it as it came. Grilled onions not fresh and it was beautiful. The jalapeño was fresh and just the right amount of spice. The sauce, the onions, the pickles. Just a great burger. I have reviewed burgers before and the smash burger is new for me. I enjoyed it. A double patty smash burger filled me up and I was good. Husband had the regular burger with grilled onion, pickles and sauce. He loved it. They give the right portion of ketchup for us. It handled all the fries I ate and I was happy. A nice crispy Coke Zero to be my drink. The decor was nice the red black color scheme was just enough. I enjoyed the sign so I took a picture. (My dad helps make signs so I have a random appreciation.) Will come back and bring my friend who sent it to us. Maybe make a shopping trip like we did with a trip to the random stores on that side of town. read more

In the lexicon of American comfort food, the burger holds a ubiquitous, almost mundane position. However, rare moments occur when the execution of this staple transcends the ordinary and enters the realm of the sublime. ZOJAH Burger is one such establishment. To label this place a mere "burger joint" would do it and you, Dear Reader, a great disservice; ZOJAH has become my new gold standard for smashburgers. The name of the restaurant struck me initially as Middle Eastern, but the staff informed me that "ZOJAH" (all caps) is a portmanteau derived from owner Alvin Garlito's three children: Zoe, Isaiah, and Elijah. The name serves as a clever, perhaps unintentional, double entendre--a literal "smashup" of names for a place specializing in the art of the smashburger. Upon entering ZOJAH, I noted the level of care applied to the environment. In an industry often plagued by grease-slicked floors and dirty tables, ZOJAH is immaculate. The attention to sanitation and order signaled a disciplined kitchen, a great first impression. The service matches the environment. The staff demonstrated a genuine warmth that felt ingratiating rather than transactional. During my visit, the attentiveness was palpable; one employee approached my table proactively to offer a refill on my root beer before I had even realized I was running low. The centerpiece of the menu is, of course, the smashburger. The magic begins with the intense heat of the griddle. The beef is smashed flat, maximizing the surface area against the scorching metal. This technique pushes the Maillard reaction--the chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars--to its absolute limit. The result is a patty with edges that are crisp, lacey, and desiccated (see my photos). These dark, caramelized fringes offer a savory crunch that provides a textural counterpoint to the tender interior of the meat. What elevates the ZOJAH burger is the kitchen's onion technique. The chef presses thinly sliced white onions directly into the patties as they cook. As the beef fat renders, the tallow washes over the onions, softening them and infusing them with a rich, umami depth. The onions do not merely sit atop the burger; they integrate into the meat, creating a savory unity that is impossible to achieve with raw or pre-caramelized onions. The toppings are all well balanced. American cheese is the only logical choice for this application; its emulsifying salts allow it to melt rapidly and completely, cascading into the nooks and crannies of the searing hot beef. Thick-sliced kosher pickles provide a bright, vinegary snap that cuts through the richness of the meat and cheese. Fresh-cut, thin-sliced jalapeños impart a subtle, creeping heat that enhances the savory notes without overwhelming them. Binding it all together is the special sauce--likely a house blend of mayonnaise and ketchup--which adds a creamy tang to every bite. ZOJAH applies the same rigor to their crinkle-cut fries as they do their burgers. Unlike the vegetable oil standard used by most fast- and fast-casual restaurants, ZOJAH fries their potatoes in beef tallow. This traditional method, largely abandoned by the fast-food industry decades ago, imparts a savory, meaty complexity that vegetable oil simply cannot replicate. The tallow creates a superior crust while leaving the interior pillowy and soft, resulting in a crisp, deliciously desiccated fry. If you follow my reviews (and you really should), then you know I can be a tough critic. I seldom lavish such praise upon a burger, but the team at ZOJAH deserves the recognition. As word of mouth spreads--hopefully due in part to my review--I expect the lines to become increasingly long. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I went thru the drive-through ordered. I ordered the : ZOJAH Smash with Fries $14.99 Smashed Certified Angus Beef Patty, Cheese, Onions, Pickles, ZOJAH Sauce, and Crinkle Cut Fries. I added tomatoes and lettuce to the hamburger. I must say that the Angus beef patty was flavorless literally had no flavor and no seasoning. I was disappointed, but on the other hand, they've got the best crinkle fries you could ever get. . read more

Bro this stuff is off the chain. First off the gallon of the front taking orders is fabulous. Very friendly informative to make you feel immediately welcome. She gets it. Second crinkly fries and beef tallow is genius he's the best way to do Fries. I'm a fan of Katsu chicken which moved to their old location. I have the hot chicken sandwich combo and it had a ton of flavor. But good amount of spice excellent crunch cook all the way through with just the right amount of condiments. Going to have to try the jalapeno double smash of fries next. It's the beef hamburgers are as good as the chicken sandwiches, they're going to do good. A bit high-priced and milkshakes at seven dollars is hard for me to get one. Overall food quality cleanliness friendly staffs Quick Service and excellent crunch on the chicken sandwich makes it worth it. Great Job! read more

New smash burger spot. Hit or Miss? Unfortunately was a miss for me on multiple levels. The burger had no seasoning or flavor with a side of salt and fries. Fries were crazy salty. Zojah house sauce? Couldn't tell you. We asked for it on the side. It did not get included with our order. Chicken bites were actually really good. If I went back I'd get the chicken bites. Hits - chicken bites and the bread on the smash burger. Misses - the actual burger meat, the fries, and not being able to add the house sauce. Go try for yourself. read more

My visit was two Saturdays ago, and I had the double cheeseburger. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned. The menu is small, and I anticipate it remaining so. Zojah, it seems, is focused on quality of items instead of quantity of items. read more

Take out review: pretty legit. It's unfortunate that my commute home kinda altered the experience. The burger seems pretty legit. Would be a lot better if it was dine-in. The hot chicken sando is fine. The fries are pretty good too. I did think it could use some more seasoning but I think they fry it in some kind of oil since the flavor was good. read more

We tried Zojah Burger recently and really enjoyed the experience. First the good: the burger was excellent and larger than expected for a smash burger. The cheese and zojah sauce were very flavorful and it stood alone without needing additional toppings. Crinkle fries were crispy, and the shake was very good as well. The service was excellent. Very warm and checked in on us multiple times to ensure everything was good. Not as good: prices. I'm worried their price structure isn't sustainable long term. The "combo" was the same price as ordering the burger and fries separately. $12 for a double burger and $5 for the fries or $17 for the combo. A drink was not included in the combo and added an additional $3. So...$20 for a burger, fries, and drink. In summary: I really enjoyed the burger and service but hope they can find a way to price things more competitively. read more

Even after living in SoCal I don't know the last time I had a burger this good. Definitely not in San Antonio...until now! On my way home after a long drive I found myself incredible hungry but willing to deal with it since I didn't want to travel far from home to not eat some lame chain restaurant. To my surprise this place popped up about 4 minutes from my place not closing till 11! I said, "why not? At least it's not Sonic " I didn't eat till I got settled in at home and even after running cold this smash burger and fries were like NO OTHER. I've been back so many times since then. The people here are so kind and attentive you don't even know who the owner is. I finally ended up asking and chatting him up and what a blessing that was because he is such a kind soul. The space he's created here to give back to the community and set an example for his family is felt wholeheartedly. I tell everyone I can if this place because I know God has his hands on it! read more

Saw this on Insta and had to come try it after work. Nice employees. Clean bathrooms. Bomb AF burgers. Will add this to my rotation.

While the burger was good, I'm not sure a burger and fries is worth $16. That is for a thin, single pattie burger with cheese and their "special" sauce. $16? Maybe though a drink in with it, and it would be a meal for $16. While I understand their claim for being more expensive is the meat is cooked in beef tallow, I'm not sure I'll go back for that. Service was excellent, super nice and friendly staff. Music was not preferred. read more

Atmosphere is typical sit down fast casual burger place. The fries are good. Service is okay. I found it bizarre there is no take out boxes. Cheese tasted like nacho cheese you get in cheap nachos in your burger. A tad over priced for what it is. It's good. Not great. It's like hop doddy without that quality in how they price it. Chicken bites was good. Can't say this is something I'd go to again. Worth a try, though. Too pricey. read more

So I ventured to try this place after seeing a post on social media, place was pretty empty, clean and still at peak for dinner service. So there was three of us and two burgers, fries, drinks and chicken bites came out to $53!!! Very overpriced, the food was smaller compared to what I saw on social media but mediocre at best in terms of quality. Chicken bites were small and flavor profile had a light pickle aftertaste versus savory. Anyway, food was out quick but over priced. I recently gotten better quality and value at a nearby P Terrys and Burger Boy. Definitely was a one time try for me and the fam. We thought about getting milkshakes afterwards but the high price drove me off to another location spot with better value. read more

Amazing smash burger - crispy edges!! The double smash was great and very filling. The shakes are awesome too!

The food was so quick the service was amazing and our can't really say server, but they kept checking on us and we're super attentive and helpful. Not a lot of other customers in the space since they're still very new. But not a single complaint. Everything was so clean and well lit and it seemed to be exactly what my cravings needed that night. I had a single slam burger with fries and a fountain drink. Worth every cent. It was so good we didn't even get a chance to take a picture before we started eating! Definitely a revisit. read more
