John HankusJanuary 9, 2015The burgers are great. Onion rings are cooked in a Cajun breading. Fairly cheap lunch at a unique place. The Thai burger is extremely hot. BBQ sandwich is huge.
Jason TangoMarch 18, 2013Finally ate there and thought the two meat(beef&turkey) sandwich was great; had good smoke, was juicy enough & sauce was awesome. The fries tasted & looked like old oil. Shakes aren't hand-scooped.- Erika MoraMay 29, 2013Carlos Angus burger was great!! Comes with fries AND onion rings! One of the best burgers I've had...and I love my burgers! haha Service was good - friendly staff, quick service.
Wolf HoltMarch 11, 2014Fantastic. The spicy Thai burger was great, very big and very spicy. Comes with avocados like a Real San Antonian burger :)
Food NetworkDecember 1, 2011Guy Fieri visited this 60-year-old diner serving a Thai twist on Texas bar-b-que and classic sides of ranch-style beans and hand-battered onion rings. Read more
Mike O'ConJanuary 28, 2022May have been a fantastic burger joint decades ago. Looks the part. Old, rough around the edges and well behind the times. But the burgers are honestly quite poor. And the fries very lacklustre.
Megan KaiserApril 4, 2015Oh my gosh- the onions rings are out of this world and so is their brisket sandwich!!!!! YUM
JenKuduApril 25, 2016The brisket, fries and ranch beans were okay. It was featured on DDD several years ago. It was probably tastier then than now. Again good, solid BBQ .. Nothing wow about it.
- KolFebruary 17, 2013The Spicy Thai Burger is really good but it's pretty spicy. Make sure that you can handle spicy food before getting it.
Britni BarkerMarch 24, 2013Chicken Fried Steak was okay, batter was great, but the meat was tough. Service absolutely sucked!!! My other half loved their burger and the fries and onion rings were great!
Great burgers. The Thai Burger is super spicy so be careful! However it's delicious!
Michael ClaytonOctober 23, 2013Try the Steak Sandwich - It's a steak... as in chicken fried! #fresh #crispy #tastesgreat
Try the Cheddar Burger or the Thai Burger, you will not be disappointed!
Daniel De LunaFebruary 16, 2013Noise level: High. Even across the table from my party I kept saying "what?" Food: good. Try the two meat platter. Service: 2/5. Not impressed at all. It's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, atmosphere.

David PowersJuly 9, 2012The food was just as great as Guy said it was and the sauce was out of this world
Santiago CApril 13, 2013Spicy BBQ sauce is AWESOME. Sliced beef sandwich was good but not spectacular.
Ron JeramiahSeptember 10, 2015Not sure what all the hype is; BBQ was terrible, Burger pure spice and no other taste. Best thing about the place was the music. 🙀 not a recommend.
Alejandro "Got Down"🙋 (Schneider)July 8, 2012Forewarned the day after this restaurant is featured on the food channel it is packed till closing time.
Brian LewisMarch 16, 2010If you are a huge meat lover, get the two meat plate. Multiple meats in you for one low price
Drew WittAugust 27, 2013Tried the 2 meat plate. It was okay. Not great. Not Rudy's. Luke warm temp and very fatty. Not outstanding flavor. Was expecting more.
Slobodan MiloševićSeptember 22, 2015Rated poor by San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, 36 demerits. August 31st,2015
Elías ZepedaFebruary 5, 2014Do not get the chicken sandwich. Not worth it. Try something else on the menu.
Jennifer BooneNovember 21, 2013The bbq was sooooo mediocre and dry. Oh also, they got our Togo order wrong.
Rosanne MillsMay 14, 2016Nope to rib plate. Pricey not fresh coleslaw as said. Not worth the price!!
