Chunky's Burgers

Well, I lived in SA since 1995, and never been here. I have heard many good things, and always wanted to go, but don't know why. Well, the service is great, friendly, they are very helpful and filled with warm smiles. The burger are big and juicy with fresh, green lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and fresh onions. I have never seen a brighter, green burger anywhere. So, we got 2 bacon cheeseburgers with 2 drinks and a basket of fries. This was the deal for today, and at $25, it's a steal. I have paid upwards of $40 for a burger at a hotel, and this was waayyy better. We also had the fried mushrooms, and they had good flavor, very hot and well cooked. I haven't had good mushrooms in a long time. Anyway, the place was clean and there was plenty of tables to sit at. I like places that have the rustic look. Anyway come on out and try for yourself and as always, my 2 cents.

Nothing really special about the burger, has all the toppings and what not but lacking in flavor. The fries are fries. Too much for a bacon cheddar burger w fries and drink. I’d pay 12.99 for it .It’s not worth the 15 it’s advertised. Ended up paying a little past 17$ Might as well go to five guys. 6/10

Place seems nice but the Burgers not so well made those fries were awful and burnt. I was given a sample that were okay, but these clowns preparing for the order wrong and have me leftover fries. I should have told my bank as to d is sputed these charges. That was after they raved about how good their fries were prepared. That was a big no go!!

The Burgers were to die for.Best burger ever. We were greeted by staff the moment we stepped in. Great experience.Didn’t take a pic of the burger but the Chili cheese fries were delicious.

Came here for a car show and grabbed some delicious food on our visit. Great customer service at the front counter and even was recommended and informed about the specials that day. Quick table service tien around and the food was served at the right temperature! Plenty of room even out on the patio to be comfortable and stretch out a bit. DJ was playing great music for the crowd that was there to make our experience even better. Thank you to the staff and everyone that helped us that day. We'll be back again soon to try more off the menu.

Great home style spot, with good burgers and ok sides. That's the only reason for the 4 stars, the fries and frito pie weren't all that, but the burger was really good! Also love how they are so progressive with an LGBT+ wall full of their flaming customers I assume! Nice to see in this climate! Will stop by again and maybe they'll have drag race on or something!

I do have to start off by saying that the menus should definitely include prices on it because it was a little off putting seeing them blacked out. I ended up googling the restaurant and looking on Uber eats or some platform like that to see if the prices were crazy. Maybe a QR code on the menu to see prices and items would be helpful. Anyhow, to the food. It was so delicious! Probably one of the best burgers that I've had at a restaurant. The burger was so juicy in a good way and the bun was soft but grilled to perfection. We ordered fries, tots, onion rings and the garlic fries. The tots were my favorite. They were so crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside. The onion rings were a close second. Their fries were also yummy and not soggy. This place is so good. You can try the spicy challenge if you want to torture yourself and probably need a driver home. This is a cool place with some great food!

I liked my burger but didn’t realize the cheese was white on our entire order. I wasn’t offered any alternatives while ordering and the menu just says “cheese”. We got 1 double burger with bacon, 1 classic burger added cheese, 1/3 lb plain burger (no kids meal burger available), and kids meal grilled cheese. Added 2 1/2 orders of fries and 1 whole order of onion rings. 3 drinks for total of $62. The price was steep for essentially 4 meals, 1 being a kids meal. I wouldn’t recommend the sides of fries or onion rings because the heat was lost quickly and tasted plain. The server kept bringing our food spread out and last was the small plain burger oddly. They have advertised events. Bar vibe. Needs better lighting in restrooms. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

We love coming here for the burgers, atmosphere, car shows, and service. Jackie our server was so so sweet and friendly! Austin the bartender was awesome as well!! We love this place.

Came here to support the 4 horseman challenge. And wowsers, how could one prepare. Hubby and I had the Chunkys special and ate outside in the beautiful weather. Despite the sweat drops from fella eating the super hot burger. Burgers, fries, tots, fried mushrooms we cooked and season to perfection! Sitting outside, we ordered inside and had a seat. Food was delivered timely, and we got our own refills... bottom line service was great. Enjoyed watching the four Horsemen challenge. I mayyyy be next.

My husband swears this is the best burger he's ever had. No matter where we go he says nothing compares to Chunky's. He orders the chunky burger plain and dry and says you can't go wrong. I on the other hand get all the fixing. The burgers are juicy and tasty and service is great. We love this place!

Burgers are huge! Juicy, cooked just right and everything in my burger was fresh and delicious! As soon as we walked in we were greeted at the door with a menu. Service was top notch. They have an outdoor area and indoor with music playing. A cool hangout place. Bike night last Thursday of the month for those motorcyclists. Plus Adam Richman from Man vs Food has visited and eaten here. Highly recommend it!!

Burger was great! Cheeseburger with jalapenos (talk about spicy), bacon (just the right balance of crispy and limp), lettuce, and onions). So juicy and flavorful. The fries were highly disappointing. Absolutely no seasoning, not even salt. They didn't taste hot or fresh just like eating cardboard unfortunately. Would come back for the burgers but maybe see if they have other sides.

Burgers were delicious!!! Food came out fast and hot. The employees were super nice and on top of it. Will definitely be coming back.

Our first time eating there and we weren't disappointed. The Jalapeño Burger (gateway burger) was delicious with just enough heat to enjoy but not be overwhelmed. Nice size and great tasting!

Don't microwave cold food. Food was probably cold because it was sitting out for there a while. You all need to coordinate to serve everyone the best food you have the reputation for.

So I actually visited the restaurant twice in one week because the jalapeño burger was so good I had to go back. Each time I will say the warm customer service and attention to my experience was top notch. I have to share that I killed a cockroach that was crawling up the side of the wall where I was sitting and then I gave it to the waitress to throw away. Besides that I would recommend highly

I always enjoy a good burger at this place, they are usually consistent with their burgers but this time my son & I both thought our burgers were very dry. Normally i would give them a solid four stars but today it was more like a weak three stars. This was not the norm, usually they are very juicy and delicious. They were not busy today... we had tots & fries in 5 minutes and burgers in ten minutes. I don't know how they made the burgers so fast if they were so WELL DONE.... Maybe they were precooked I dunno... but they were DRY! Staff is always very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and organized. I really enjoy that they have so many varieties of burgers. Also they have good tots, fries and onion rings.

Staff was very friendly. The food was a good portion, and I had leftovers. Downside it comes a la carte. Not a big deal prices are reasonable, and patties are large. I did order a second patty could be the reason for leftovers, but I also had leftover fries. Will go back again and order the shakes next time.

Service was wonderful! I went on a Sunday just before Church crowd. Waitress went out of her way to get my order in first. Onion rings are nothing special. Burger was hot and quite good.

This place is on fire. Leaps and bounds over the "new" Chris Madrid's This is my new go to burger joint. Friendly staff. Fast service. Great food. 3rd time here in less than a month.

Ladies were super friendly, burgers tasted great and knew the place for the four horseman burger challenge on man vs food. Never knew this was where it was filmed. Pretty cool. Real clean hole in the wall vibes. Give it a shot, pretty darn good.

First time here and we'll definitely be back, I had the hickory burger, it had the perfect amount of bb sauce, and the buns are so soft and fresh, my wife had the burger with cheese, and it was fantastic, we had the onion ring/tots mix, they were fried perfectly, low key ambiance, the music is playing soft, while watching football....and the staff is so friendly too, great job Chunky's

Food and service was great!! Also economically priced! The chunky wings are delicious!!

Best burger in SA. Amazingly good. Their bacon on a burger is so delicious. Size of the burgers are large the bread is great too.

Nice folks. Middle of the road food. I didn't think it was worth the trip out there. Burgers were not as dry as a lot of the recent reviews I had seen posted, so that was a plus. We drove by at least a few places I would prefer the burgers to, compared to this place.

The Big Chunk burger... beef patty was over cooked. Bacon was good. The tiny cup of queso wasn't hot enough to spread and there was too little of it to even make what a normal slice of cheese would have covered. People working there were all very nice. Funny thing was it's got a biker theme/dive bar vibe but they were playing NSYNC. Maybe it was an off night for the cook. Might try it again some other night, but its doubtful.

This used to be a five star place for me and boy has the attention to detail and quality gone down. The past several times we have ordered from here the burgers are charred and overcooked. And buns are even sometimes burned. I don't want my burger extra extra well done. I gave them several chances and ordered again to see if it was just a fluke (as it used to be soooo good) but I think next time we are going to try a different burger place. Today was probably our last time ordering from here for a while (and we used to order from here a lot) Maybe in a couple more months I'll give them another shot, but for now this has fallen off my favorites list.

After the historic winter storm of 2021, cabin fever gotten the best of us and we went out to give the famous Chunky's Burgers a try. Upon arrival place wasn't busy and even offers outdoor seating. We sat down inside due to cool evening out to be at the patio. Our waitress brought out the menu and I ordered the Big Chunky, sounded exotic included bacon strips, queso and onion rings. The onion rings were crisp however the fries weren't anything special. The choice of soda are Pepsi products at this burger establishment. The burgers were great rich and flavorful however the queso was thick and rich. Overall highly recommend the burgers and onion rings here however the service was little lacking as our waitress didn't make many rounds to us where the star falls off. Until next time Chunky's, maybe I'll try the Monterrey Burger!

#ThankYouThursday Chunk's Burgers, thank you for bringing great burgers, shakes, and food to the inner loop 410/West side of SA! I've frequented this burger joint for years (even before the Man vs. Food episode) and have always had a great burger. Burger week offering of the Monterey burger was excellent! Ham, white american cheese, and lots of avocado in a half pound burger for only $5!!! Recently with Covid19 going on, Chunky's strives to keep its employees on the payroll and help the local community (first responders, service industry employees out of wages, and people out of work) Support local and eat at Chunky's!

Excellent jalapeño burger. Tater tots were done just right. The Chunky's burger was delicious as well, we added an egg for good measure.

Hearing about this place on Food Network built a desire to see, not so much taste, the 4 Horseman of the Apocolypse. No matter what hamburger you get, it will be so tasty and prepared to your liking. They have signature hamburgers that combine unique flavors, leaving you wanting to come back again. The onion rings are amazing, not to mention the fried mushrooms. I'll be back to try some of Chunky's other menu items. Oh, the staff is very friendly and no long waiting to boot.

Don't get fooled this place is an absolute waste! food is trash. Service is trash amount of time you wait for a mediocre burger is absolutely ridiculous. I am regretful that I came here I would recommend this place go to Whataburger you enjoy it more

Can I say how scared I was originally to eat here? All you hear about is the super hot ghost pepper burger and I'm not into that. But hamburger week made me look at the menu and see many more normal spiced burgers. Again the place chose what burger to feature and here was uncharted for me. Monterrey Burger...two slices of grilled ham, cheese and avocado added to the burger. Ok, I'm ready to try most anything not too spicy but avocado on a burger? So I ordered more back up in case ...fried mushrooms and onion rings. The burger was fantastic and I couldn't eat it all that meal. Saved some of the burger and mushrooms for later. Rings and mushrooms were a little darker than I like but not fatal. The place is a little hard to find but worth turning around and trying again. I am most definitely going back for the burgers and trying other stuff as well

Waited 25 minutes for thier basic burger no drink no fries....had to ask for my money back no one looked like they had any urgency. I would not recommend especially on a lunch break. Very dissapointed to see how little they cared.

According to their menu, the Monterrey burger is so good you'll want a cigarette after, they are absolutely right. The burger is delicious. Both buns are perfectly toasted, the avocado is plentiful and pairs so well with the ham. I will definitely return.

I finally made my way here to try one of their burgers. You order and pay at the counter, receive a number to take, and have any seat you like. The staff were all very kind, and they checked on the tables whenever they weren't too busy. I got the zipper burger and mozzarella sticks. It was so so good! You can tell the burgers are cooked to order, and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. There's also a sweet black kitty that hangs around the patio who literally made my experience all the better lol. I'll definitely be back

Went for San Antonio Burger week. Fun, funky burger shop. The employees there were very helpful. A lot of choices of different burgers. I got the Monterrey Burger which had a load of fresh avocado and grilled ham, all on a toasted bun. The burger had a great flavor, hamburger maybe wasn't as moist as it could have been but overall very satisfied. Fries are the large cut standard fries, came out hot. Will be coming back to try their spicy hamburgers. Often have specialty deals on a variety of hamburgers.

Yum! I tried Chunky's Burgers during San Antonio Burger week and their $5 Hickory BBQ burger did not disappoint. This burger has sweet and spicy bbq sauce, crispy onion rings, bacon and cheese and it is so yummy! I was also a fan of their tater tots and onion rings basket. My boyfriend enjoyed the jalapeno burger. Service was quick and efficient and you seat yourself either inside or on their outdoor patio. If you're on this side of town and looking for a casual place to grab a delicious burger, check out Chunky's!

Good burgers, and good sides. I tried there four horseman burger it was really tasty, but I love spicy so if that's what you are looking for they have it. My wife had a jalapeño burger,but it was not spicy so she was a little disappointed there, but over all the burger it self was good, I would also recommend the chorizo tater tots they were really good even after a reheat.

First time here so I didn't know what to expect. The indoor dining is closed due to covid. But they have the nice patio area where there is seating. The service great, The food is good. I got the chunky burger and I had to add an egg to it. Yes it was messy but it was good.

Beyond delicious! Amazingly perfect flavors! Found this place through Elder Eats and thought I'd give it a try. I am so happy I did. The customer service is GREAT! Staff is super nice, quick and efficient. Get this they offer a discount for first responders and military! Get you some!!!

Ok, but not great. I got the Texas Kicker, and it would have been good had their queso been better. Their queso was terribly processed and salty. Very unfortunate. It would have been a pretty good burger without that. We also got their Parmesan fries, which smelled really good but had a really terrible after taste. The one redeeming thing were their bottlecaps; fried jalapeño. While very greasy we really enjoyed those. I'd give them another shot for a burger, but I'm not in any hurry to come back.

I foujd this burger place by doing an Uber eats order and i loved the old school music they were playing when i was waiting for the food and the burger smelled so good. So, i decided to try it a week later and YES, everything was so good. I got a double with bacon,cheese and grilled jalapeños. Yum:)

Great burger, juicy and delicious. Service was great, employees were helpful and gave us suggestions. This is the quintessential burger joint. Yummy burgers, fresh fries. You can tell everything is freshly cooked to order. There are other things on the menu but we were craving burgers and weren't dissappointed.

Food was good. Staff was friendly. You' d have to sit outside though. We decided to sit inside. Big mistake! So much smoke in there our eyes were watering.

I've been here a few times and I enjoy eating jere. The food is good, the burgers are big and tasty and filling most of all. I like that you can get a mix of toys and fries or Onion rings. I love the guacamole nuger, it's not actually guacamole it's just avocado which I was happy to hear. I would have like the avo to be spread out on my burger instead of a huge half an avocado glob right in the middle, I mean I live avocado as much as the next person but it wasn't consistent throughout the burger. I'd still order it again. And I had to try the fried pickles this recent visit and I was a hit disappointed, they were too watery, wet. Needed more batter maybe, more of crisp?. So I don't think I'll order them again. The burgers are sold separately not in a meal, which I suppose is fine. There's outdoor tables as well for when that heat isn't blazing too much.

Went there Tuesday night for the first time and wasnt impressed what so ever...it wasnt all talked up like they make it to b...so we walk in and immediatly thrown 2 menus at us and then the guy starts talking to the other employess..rude.. second..there not friendly or even helpful..all u hear the whole time is loud guys yelling and carrying on bqck.therr like its a college dorm...no one comes around and ask how the food is...frys r from.walmart..burger is not the best..i can gt better at wataburger..when we leave no thank u or acknowledgement..wont b back..dont waste ur money here!!!

Don't let the exterior fool you, you drive up to a biker bar and on the inside you walk in and are greeted by the sweetest staff! The milkshakes are amazing, the selection of different burgers is amazing. Had the jalapeño burger and it did not disappoint!

I wouldn't say this place is bad, as all burger places are pretty good. It's kinda hard to screw up a burger if you're actually trying. What I will say, is maybe we shouldn't hold this place up high... This place was out of the way and felt like a cozy road-side eatery. It had the atmosphere of what I would call the Texan Charm. You felt, and sometimes ate, the dust coming off the nearby road and the cars blazing by. But, it felt real. It felt like I could've ran across this 50 years ago traveling the route. I'll admit, I watched the Man v. Food episode of this place and was jonesing to find a place like this while I was in town! I wanted to try the famous four horsemen while I was there, but the waiver scared me away. I did see a guy try it, in possibly the funniest moment I've ever experienced in a restaurant. The guy got the waiver done, the purple gloves on, and started choking down. He got about halfway through in what seemed to be record time, but hit a brick wall. His wife/girlfriend went from cheering him on, to berating him and calling him names. Needless to say, the guy didn't make it. His wife looked disappointed and was still talking bad about him as we left! Go have a burger and a good time here, this place has both.

This place is awful and overrated. The burgers were soggy and the meat dry as the desert. They got half of my order wrong and didn't even bother to read the special instructions for food allergies (to not include certain condiments/veggies). Their chili cheese fries and onion rings also suck. Soggy, soggy, soggy -- the entire order was disgustingly soggy. They also forgot the extra sauces I paid for. If only I could give 0 stars! This place isn't worth it. I had such high expectations but it really disappointed. Don't bother coming here!

Me and my family enjoyed these burgers very much! I got the hickory burger, and I highly recommend!

I haven't eaten there yet, but saw a story this morning on Kens 5 that they are giving away meals to those in need. Places like this need our support in these trying times and I will update this review on this burger place once I eat there...probably this afternoon. UPDATE: Great half pound burger fries and a drink for $10. They were busy, and not use to taking orders from the table so at first the service was slow, but they were super polite once I had their attention. I had the opportunity to buy a lady's lunch as I was leaving. She came in the door and I overheard an employee tellimg her all of the free burgers for people in distress were gone and they wouldn't be serving any more until 5. She said she had driven quite a ways and was on her way out the door when I caught her.

First time here, had lunch with kids today. Outside seating is covered with lots of fans, dog friendly, and the bar tender outside was very kind. No frills place and kinda sticky tables. I would classify Chunky's as more of a bar that happens to serve food (which is fine, but not what I wanted for lunch). It was Sunday afternoon, not very busy, and our meal took 40 minutes. The wait was not worth it. Burgers were quite overcooked, cheap quality ingredients (canned jalapeño), and overall just tasted pretty meh. I'd hate to see the quality and and wait times if they were really busy. Potential is here, but food quality, speed, and cleanliness is not there.

The salmon chipotle burger, and double meat/dbl chz burger with bacon were so tasty. I also had the garlic parm fries and wings. Both were really tasty also, except the fries were soggy by the time I got home. But that's okay, put them in the air fryer for a few minutes and they were good as fresh! The wings were perfectly sauced and crispy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they were out of tots and fried mushrooms and it was still early in the evening. It was my first experience dining with them and I will be back!

Chunky's Burgers, featured on Man V Food, definitely lived up to its hype. My boyfriend and I both ordered the 1/2 lb jalapeño cheeseburger (plus egg & bacon), one full basket of fries and two fountain drinks all for under $30. I was so pleased that they offered Pepsi products! Great service and reasonable wait time. Simply order (and pay) at counter, seat yourself, then wait about 20 mins for one of the tastiest burgers to be delivered to your table. Fries were fresh and hot as well.. we just had to salt and pepper to taste. But to be completely honest, I most likely will not order them next time. Nothing special, at all. SN: two guys were there obviously trying to complete the 4 Horsemen Challenge (eat extremely spicy burger). It was def entertaining to watch. And to answer your question, no they did not finish it. Lol, It's supposedly that hot.

The only reason I will give them a three star is because their food is good and their service sucks we sat there for 15 minutes today trying to get someone to take our orders after we told them we were there they still would not take our order.... we have never had such poor service at chunkies it's a shame because their hamburgers are the bomb...
