"I wasn't expecting much when my kids mentioned they wanted to go to Dogfather. I asked what it was, and they explained it was a hotdog place. I thought, "Hotdog, really? Let's check it out."As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a large portrait of a dog that gives off a unique vibe, making it clear this isn't your typical hotdog spot. And I was right; it's so much more than that.They offer a fantastic variety of hotdogs and toppings. When the food arrives, it looks incredible and tastes even better. It can get a bit messy, but that just adds to the charm of the place.My wife and I have visited several times, trying different options each time, and it's always amazing. I highly recommend this place!"

"I've been dying to try this place since I saw it on TikTok.The location is south town off Presa behind Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken. You can park on the street and I think there's a tiny area behind the building for parking. It's a small building with seating along the wall and open windows or you can sit at the bar or regular table seating. You walk up and order at the front and the girl was very knowledgeable about the hot dogs and products they use in their food. We love a cashier that knows her products it was easy to order and I was able to sit anywhere available. They play the music loud enough to drown out everyone else conversations but not yours. Lots of freestyle mixed from the 90's, love it. The service was wonderful. Someone kept coming by to check if I was doing okay, brought me a new refill and took my tray when I was done. I wanna say the owner came up and took my tray, asked if everything was good and just such a humble person. Love when owners or managers are down to earth and sincere. Let's get into the food. I ordered the Capone which is a Chicago dog, my favorite. I didn't think 1 hot dog would be enough but it was STUFFED. There was plenty of tomato, onion relish and I added bacon wrap so they used 2 slices of bacon. The hotdog itself was not scrawny either (don't you hate when that happens ) I also got the elote which freaked me out a bit because it has this fluffy foam on top like a root beer float. It was sprinkled with tajin and a lime slice on the side. I think the fluff was butter and when I mixed it with the corn, OMG wonderful, just wonderful! I ate all of it and I was full. Also, the lid on the tea was VERY secure, which is good for taking the cup to go. I cannot wait to go back and try other things."

"This place is a gem! As a mom of 2 toddlers, Im always looking for a place to go where I can chill and they can run around. The vibes at this place were great! The staff is extremely friendly, shoutout to Sasha! And the food came out extremely quickly and was so good. I also came for their 4th of July event and I'm impressed with how smoothly everything went! Highly recommend this place, especially if you have little ones."

"Recommend:Yes!The food was really good! The hot dogs were very beefy, you can probably only handle one along with a side . Food: I went there with family after an extracurricular activity. My brother had The Guac, my SIL had the Pop It Like It's Hot, and I had the Elote. My SIL rated hers as a 8, it had jalapeños that were very spicy so she had to eat them separate along with a tot but overall she enjoyed it. My brother rated his as a 9 and said he'd def come back. The elote dog was good. The bun was toasted, has enough elote and crema to compliment the taste. The hot dog was juicy. Next time I think I'll ask if I can get my dog toasted/grilled too. I had the Sucia Tots. They were really good, crispy, and right amount of condiments. I also ordered the frozen margarita and it was DELICIOUS! I normally don't do frozen because they get too watery but this maintained its flavor throughout the dinner and it stayed cold!Service: You order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. The service was good and fast. Very helpful when answering questions. Ambiance: It is a bit small inside, with only 3 tables of four seats and a bar with stools. There is plenty seating outside. The place is clean. I can see this as a hangout spot, where the margaritas are too good that you'll need to go back and order their yummy tots."

"Italian Beef Sandwich was bomb! Size matters. I only ordered this sandwich and was about $11.00. No chips no drink. I only want the good stuff. No Resrooms That's my only complaint. Where am I supposed to pee or poop? They do have a hand washing station. It's ok. Nice people and they treated me right. I thanked them for the great sandwich"

"Inconsistent Experience--Great First Visit, but Disappointing ReturnWe visited twice in one week, and the experiences couldn't have been more different. Our first visit was easily 4/5 stars--the burger and fries were , perfectly cooked, and super satisfying.Unfortunately, our second visit was a major letdown. The multiple appetizers we ordered were soaked and soggy with grease, making them hard to enjoy. The fries, which were amazing the first time, were SUPER salty this time around--a complete 180 from what we had before. And the brisket egg rolls? Honestly, they shouldn't be a thing. The flavors just didn't work at all.It's a shame because we had high hopes after our first visit, but the inconsistency really stood out on the second trip."

"I had a cheese burger and omg it was so good. The only thing that really bothered me was the ratings they received for their health inspection. Not the best. But the price and the taste wow good stuff. Please please please try harder to pass your inspections because your food tastes awesome. The price is also awesome. I would give a 5 if you could just clean up better. YAll can do this! Neighbor establishment we need you. Clean food establishments are a must."

Hometown Burger

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (15) • $

"Here with the kiddo for the 1st time. Not bad. I had the classic bacon cheeseburger and added jalapeños. One thing to note is they put mayo on all burgers unless you ask them not to. Kudos to them for getting my burger right. The burger was excellent and the combo price is really reasonable. The patties are really thin like Freddy's or something. Next time I'll order a double meat burger for sure, but the burger was really tasty and satisfying. The fries were ehhh nah. The tots were really good though. The kiddo got a kids meal burger plain and dry add bacon. She wasn't a big fan of the burger, but that's probably because it had more flavor than she was ready for. Lol. She loved the milkshake. I'll be back for sure, it beats the McDonald's across the street easily. Certainly worth a shot. 4 stars because the fries. Get the tots instead."

"When it comes to food and customer service....This place has not disappointed. Yelp introduced this hidden gem to me about a year ago and I came back 1.8.24 wanting to see what changes have happened since my first visit. They've expanded their menu There's now music and additional seating indoors YAY! They sell funny stickers for 1.49 check the pics out!! And let's not forget their selfie window (that's what ima call it lol no ands, ifs, or butts!) Social media: TikTok, FB, Insta. Go check them out!On this day, they were having their dogs 15% off and five mini tacos instead of four. I got the keep me chunky combo Beef sausage with smoked bacon, tomatoes, grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, covered in ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Let's not forget the loaded cheese fries with bacon bits and canned soda. My forever plus one got mini tacos. Typically contains 4 but their deal offered five #Winning. They were on point! We didn't even realize that no guac was included. Can't wait to try the next dog Will continue to recommend."

Mayo’s Tacos

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"This little trailer serves up some delicious street tacos! With a simple menu, friendly staff and great customer service Mayo's tacos is a hidden gem located right behind the Valero gas station. The husband and wife that own it were working and couldn't have been more friendly. They offer a small seating area next to the trailer which is well lit and somewhat comfortable! They don't have any official hours posted but they said they're open everyday except for Wednesday. I forgot to ask for the hours, but it's currently 10:50 pm and they're still open! We'll be back to try other items on the menu, but the asada & pastor tacos were delicious!"

Found this well- reviewed hot dog vendor and we're glad we went!Got a few bacon-wrapped dogs with everything on them - grilled onions, cheese sauce, ketchup, mayo, mustard. About $8.50 apiece but they were delicious.The person owning/running the cart was super friendly as well."

"My husband and son could literally eat a burger on the daily-so we drove downtown- parking wasn't bad at all and as far as safety, I didn't feel the least bit unsafe especially during the day. This is counter service- order and they will bring it to your table.I ordered a regular cheeseburger and my boys ordered the heisman. The buns were soft and slightly sweet but the star of the show was the meat patty- full of flavor and just, well, tasty.Do yourself a favor if you are a burger fan and check this place out!"

The Hotdogologist

★★★★★ 4.6 (70)

"Food: ordered the original poondawg, jalapeno bomber, not so chi dog, and the pizza dawg. My favorite was the pizza dawg, and my husband loved the original poondawg and the not so chi dawg. I felt the jalapeno bomber would have more of a cream cheese taste being there was supposed to be a house cream cheese blend but it was heavy on the jalapeño mustard and no hint of cream cheese. Wasn't what I was expecting, but still ate it all lol! Luckily we didn't get the soggy buns. Thank goodness! Service was great. Friendly staff member behind the ordering counter. Ambiance: definitely a hole in the wall kind of vibe. Nothing fancy, personable, and unique. Small but still a cool spot. No indoor seating. Some tables on the outsides. They offer military, first responder, and teacher discounts. I Love supporting small businesses here in San Antonio so this was a cool little spot to try!"

The Shack

★★★★★ 4.6 (495) • $$

"Fast service, we got our food quick. Was a lot of people there was hard to find seating but they do have an outdoor area to sit also. I got the Mexican burger and my brother got the mushroom and Swiss burger both really great they offer corn in a cup or cucumber cup as sides instead of fries if h want something different, they also have a lot of good looking sweets to choose from we were so full we didn't have room to try it but we will be back again."

"We were looking for something laid back on a Saturday afternoon and this was it! We played darts while we waited for our burgers and wings and then sat on the patio to enjoy a super cold beer. The food was great!! I mean, what's in that wing sauce??? We spent some time at the main bar hanging with Mike, the owner and by the time we left we felt we had made a new friend. This is definitely going to be our favorite little neighborhood spot. Give them a try!"

"I was craving corn in a cup and some nachos. My usual place was not gonna be open by the time I got there so I remembered seeing this truck on military so I tried it out. Nachos were drowning in cheese and the corn in the cup was packed In and delicious! I might have to give up my regular spot for this one. Staff was friendly and quickly served up my order nice and hot. The tables were open if I wanted to sit out there and eat but I took it to go."

My husband had the Bandeja Paisa and we have Arepas de chocolo. Whew...the arepas were so flavorful and buttery. The Sancocho had a depth of flavor that only well made soups have. Regresaremos...."

Rios Barbacoa

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (18) • $$

"My boyfriend and I bought the #1 special and really enjoyed it. The barbacoa is juicy and tasty and so greasy like it's suppose to be. The line was quick too even though there were lots of folks. I'd give it a five but I felt like one pound wasn't even to satisfy two people. We made about 11 very small tacos. Salsa not spicy."

"The food was delicious. It was not texmex with just gravy smothered in everything. The plates were awesome so pretty! It was nicely kept and decorated. Truly enjoyed my green enchiladas and I do judge a place by its beans and tortillas and these were awesome. They did give us consome like Fideo as a starter and it was super flavorful even my son wanted more. I loved it and recommend."
