Candy's Old Fashion Burgers — Restaurant in San Antonio

Best burgers downtown. Unpretentious but uses fresh ingredients and relies on experience in the kitchen. These are not polite burgers, but well-grilled classic monsters sent to ruin your diet. The jalapeno cheddar burger us my favorite, plenty of grilled jalapeños and thick cheddar slowly oozing out the sides. You gotta start with the crispy fries so the burger cools a bit and the cheese sets, otherwise you'll get cheesy jalapeño fries. Which you can order, btw.

If you wanna go healthier, Candy's has some good salads. I did that for awhile when I officed next door and my cholesterol went way up. The grilled chicken is very good. However, visitors should seriously consider the specials. They are good values and done well. Catholics looking to avoid meat on Fridays will find one of the best seafood plates anywhere. This is a family owned and operated downtown burger and seafood joint that is well-known among locals as one of the best restaurants in San Antonio.

Pre-COVID, courthouse staff and jurors would pack the place for lunch, making take out a good option. Service is fast because they know how to handle a rush, but to go items are packed well and...

We were driving downtown & wanted to find a good burger. We searched restaurants, chose cuisine & picked hamburgers. Candy’s came up so we decided to try it out. As many times as I’ve driven down this street I’ve never seen this place. Parking isn’t the easiest, but what parking downtown is? The woman at the register that took our order was friendly & told us we order, go find a table & then they will bring our food out to us. Meanwhile, we enjoyed the atmosphere. They have an old radio as the cash register table, a bunch of memorabilia on the walls & 80’s tunes playing. When all the food came out we realized we ordered too much. Their basket of fries & rings are bigger than other places. We got the double cheeseburger & the Roy L Rogers burger, which was filled with much more bacon than I expected (had to be at least 6 slices of bacon on it) so I ended up sharing some of it. The burger really hit the spot! Good burgers, fresh basket of hot fries & a basket of onion rings, who could ask for a better lunch. Everything...

I placed an order online due to having limited time for my lunch break. Online confirmation stated that my order would be ready in 30 minutes. When I arrived, they didn't have an area to expedite online &/or phone orders. You had to wait in line with customers that hadn't placed orders yet. I had to pay to park & the line was backed up around the restaurant. Sadly, I saw my food sitting on a table. I did stand in the line until I saw how long it was taking for people to place orders. I had to leave. All establishments that accepts online &/or phone orders should have a system where you don't have to stand in the same line as people who have not placed orders yet. I called & cancelled my order with them. However, because they use an outside company for their online orders, I had to also call them to cancel my order. Now I have to wait 3-5 days for my refund. Why couldn't someone just give me my food that was already made & paid for? Poor customer service. I won't ever go...
