Where are the Best French Fries in San Antonio, Texas?
My wife and I visited Fuddruckers again. We don’t have them where we live, so it was anticipated. It was noon on a busy Festival day and I’d read the review warning about slow service, but our order was taken quickly and then we waited. And waited. And ordered a shake and onion rings and *got* them. And still waited. And we got pretty steamed since employees were carefully avoiding allowing anyone to catch their eye and find out where their order was. So I was ready to hate the place.But then our burgers arrived. I got the half-pound Buffalo burger and dressed it out just the way I like: plenty of onion, plus crisp lettuce and the salsa topping.And I took a bite.And. Wow. It just made me love Fuddruckers again.If you want FAST, then go to McDonalds. They’re right next door.And to be fair, it was only about 30 minutes to get our food at Fuddrucker’s – not really that long a wait if you’re expecting it. And the TASTE was just wonderful – and well worth the wait.So.
Tex-Mex style enchiladas smothered in homemade chili and loads of cheese are outstanding. Don’t confuse this place with a lightweight like Alamo Cafe. And this place is NOT for the dieter or the health conscious. Great burgers. Get a side of beans or homemade fries. Reasonably priced beer, though they could stand to add a few selections. Appealing to a wide-ranging clientele. Hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. Exceptional music. Service is well-intentioned but can get bogged down on busy nights during the show. Worth going out of your way for. Closed on Mondays.
The hamburgers, fries and onion rings are great but the wait is too long for hamburgers. The beer selection is great for someone who drinks beer but for those of us who do not drink beer it would be better to give free drink refills like most hamburger joints do. The atmosphere is good and the place is kept pretty clean almost all of the time. But the best place in Texas for hamburgers is at Culver’s a fairly new restaurant on DeZavala Road across from the Post Office. They have the best food and customer service along with the cleanest store and the wait is not near as long as Chester’s. You have not had a delicious juicy hamburger until you have tried Culver’s. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The customer service is excellent and you get free refills on your drinks. The staff will even get you the refill so you do not have to get up and let your food get cold.Pros + Great food and beer selection.Cons – Food takes too long to prepare and no free refill on drinks.
A friend and I decided to go to Tom?s on our lunch hour. Two other patrons arrived after us and then 15min later two more after them. The three tables (including my party) all ordered Gyro and Fries. The two tables that came in after us were served their meals before us. The entire restaurants drinks were refreshed with the exception of my friend and I. After 40min and still no gyro and Fried we were forced to leave. This would have been my first time eating at this restaurant (had I actually received my food) and after a very unpleasant experience it will also be my last. . Pros + Iced Tea was good.Cons – Service
