11. Burger Boy
Multiple Locations“Visiting San Antonio, so had to try Burger Boy! We got some burgers, french fries, and some shakes. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. I feel like Burger Boy could take on In and Out and win! We really enjoyed the burgers and the shakes, this is my kind of fast food burger, why would anyone want to eat at one of the big chains when they have this?” – Paul M.

5. Teddy B’s
6392 Babcock Rd“First time trying this place. Burger was delicious. I got the mushroom burger with fries. Fries were nice and crispy not soggy. Burger was big. I was not able to finish it. If you get the works on burger it comes w mayo, mustard, ketchup and onions. Mushroom burger comes with grilled onions. I also had a watermelon aqua fresca was great as well.” – Waterlily G.

4. Bunz Handcrafted Burgers
Multiple Locations“Stopped in on a whim to satisfy a burger hankering. Pleasantly surprised by the great burger (got the “Cheek Bunz”) and chocolate shake. The beef patties were cooked to order & perfection (they offer medium rare for those brave souls). The Manager gave us recommendations since it was our first time. Did not disappoint. Will add this burger joint to our rotation the next time we are in town.” – Jada B. Credit: Courtesy Photo / Bunz Handcrafted Burgers
2. The Shack
7431 NW Loop 410“I love this place. Burgers are high quality, Funnel Cake (need i say more) and the chili dogs are massive. I have been a few times and even brought the Fam once. They were impressed with the quality. My cousin, who complains about everything, complained that the burger was too big. WHAT?!? We all looked at him crazy. This place is tucked away in a strip mall but has indoor and outdoor seating which is nice.” – Jason D. Credit: Photo via The Shack/Instagram
