While other fast food chains may focus on mass production, Burger Boy keeps things local, fresh, and community-focused—traits that have helped them earn a loyal fan base in a crowded burger scene.

More Than Just a Meal—It’s a San Antonio Tradition
Burger Boy’s story began in 1985 with a single location on St. Mary’s Street, where it quickly earned a reputation for serving up classic burgers with a side of local pride. Over the years, the brand has held onto its old-school charm while steadily growing to meet demand—now boasting 10 locations across San Antonio.
As a homegrown business, Burger Boy has become more than just a place to grab a bite. It’s a beloved part of the city’s culinary identity—reminding residents of simpler times, neighborhood pride, and the comfort of timeless flavors. Their dedication to local ownership, made-to-order meals, and friendly service continues to set them apart in a city that’s constantly growing and changing.
With this new Marbach Road location on the horizon, Burger Boy is expanding its reach to even more parts of San Antonio, making it easier than ever for West Side residents and commuters along Loop 1604 to enjoy one of the city’s most iconic burger experiences.
