In My Opinion:
Gourmet Burger Grill in San Antonio, TX – I recently went back to Gourmet Burger Grill this past week with the guys from the office. I’ve been to Gourmet Burger Grill before, a long time ago, just a couple of months after they opened up on 1604 & 281 north. My first ever experience with them was just kind of below average. I had ordered the Mini Burger Sampler that comes with one of each: beef, chicken, turkey, crab and lamb burgers. Along with some fries and a drink, you’d have a bill little bit over $17. I was not impressed with the burgers because some of them had been overcooked, dry and I only ended up eating half of each mini burger. I was thinking to my self, this is suppose to be a gourmet burger joint? That’s why its taken me and our family a long time to give them another shot.
Now for round two, my recent visit with the guys. The place is pretty nice and they outdoor space is great to have lunch when its a nice day. I came in today with one simple goal which was to order something simple and basic. I got your classic bacon cheeseburger, medium to medium-well, and some onion rings. This is just a Texas classic. I figured at a gourmet burger joint, if you mess this up, it would most likely be a very long time before we come back here again. It took an average time to get our order, which was great, because we were all starving. At first bite, everything seemed okay, except my burger came out well-done. I was looking forward to a nice juicy and delicious burger, but the sad reality it was a bit dry.
As I looked around and asked some of the other guys, their burgers also came out bit overcooked. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but if you like your burger cooked a certain way, this is just an FYI for you. The onion rings were fine, sweet tea was good, and we had great company during our lunch so I didn’t want to go talk to the manager or make a scene. So far parking is pretty easy here as a lot of the spaces in this shopping center are not all fully developed yet.
As for Gourmet Burger Grill, I do not see a signature burger that is a must have here. You would come to expect that from a gourmet burger joint. They do have variety of meats and big selection of burger toppings which is awesome. I hope to go in there maybe just one more time and ask them to make me your very best one of a kind burger. I hope that trip will convince me to put this place as one of my top burger joints in San Antonio, TX.

I’ve been twice and really enjoyed it. The first time I had the crab cake burger, it was delicious! The second time I had the bison burger and that was just as good. The sweet potato fries are crispy and yummy…
If your craving a different type of burger, Gourmet Burger Grill is the place to go!
no.

I tried this joint when it first opened, so it’s been a while since I was there last. I can tell you that the burgers are definitely rockin’! My better half had the blue cheese burger with this delicious sauce (can’t remember what kind), and I had a bacon cheeseburger with avocado (I tried to play it safe just in case lol). Both were very savory, cooked perfectly, and those crunchy onions are a great touch in the burgers! the fries were nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like I like them. The service was great and the employees were very helpful with us first-timers, offering suggestions based on our tastes. I gave them a 4 star rating. Only thing I dislike is that the burgers were a bit on the expensive side, from what I remember. Of course, good flavors don’t come cheap sometimes
Only reason I haven’t been back in a while (I’ve only been there 2 or 3 times) is because it’s REALLY far from me (I’m in Helotes).
GBG is definitely worth a try if you’re looking for some adventure in your burgers

I have been there two times. The first was when they opened. My cheeseburger was dry & the sweet potato fries were boring. Nothing to dip them in besides ketchup & sweet potato & ketchup just do not go together for my taste. Second, trip I passed on the sweet potato fries & went with regular fries & they were ok. I’ve had better at Mickey D’s. The cheeseburger I got was dry. Too expensive for ordinary experience. I would rather get a juicy burger & great fries or tater tots at Longhorn Cafe at 1/2 the price. Staff was very friendly though & good service.

Our first experience with GBG was wonderful – and we were a huge party. Every order delicious, hot, served all at the same time. We’ve been back, things have been fine. The last experience, however, our burgers were dry, and we left pretty unimpressed. Unfortunately, when you’re paying the price of a premium burger (husband had the Kobe, and it was much too dry), a restaurant can’t really afford a misstep.
When we combine the not-great food last time with the effort it always takes to get in and out of that center they’re in, I think we’ll stay with Lucky Burger, or the new Burger Bistro on NW Military, or even EZ’s.
no.

I love Gourmet Burger Grill! The homemade buns are fantastic, and they have the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever eaten. I also enjoy the friendliness of the staff and appreciate when the manager comes over to the table to see how everything is. They have a generous military discount too!
no.

I too went to GBG when it first opened and like you I was not impressed. My burger was also dry. My partner had a great burger however. I have been reluctant to go back and give it another try since, I must confess, I am not a big burger aficionado.
