San Antonio is buzzing with excitement as Burger Boy, a beloved local burger chain, announces the opening of its 10th location in Windcrest this summer! This delightful news is sure to make any burger lover’s heart race.
Where the New Burger Haven Will Be
So, where can you find the latest addition to the Burger Boy family? The new restaurant is set to open at 7560 I-35N in Windcrest, conveniently nestled near popular spots like Academy Sports + Outdoors, Costco, and Hobby Lobby. If you’re out and about shopping or running errands, it’s the perfect pit stop for a delicious meal.
The Simple Yet Delicious Menu
If you’re familiar with Burger Boy, you already know that the menu is filled with no-fuss options that stick to what they do best. Expect classic favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches, all perfectly paired with their famous crinkle fries. If you want to indulge a little, you can’t go wrong with one of their signature combo meals.
Two crowd favorites, the Bates Special and Working Man meal, have become household names throughout the Alamo City. These meals are not just about filling up your belly; they bring a little slice of joy to your dining experience!
Milkshakes Galore!
And don’t forget about dessert! Burger Boy is well-known for its extensive array of milkshake flavors. Craving something sweet? You can treat yourself to a dreamy Dreamsicle, classic vanilla, or rich chocolate. If you want something extra special, try local favorites like Big Red or the refreshing orange freeze. It’s a perfect way to cool off, especially during those hot summer months!
A Rich History of Flavor
But wait, there’s more to the story! Burger Boy has a rich history that dates back to 1955 when Frank Bates opened the very first Whopper Burger with an investment of just $500. After overcoming trademark challenges with Burger King, the original brand continued to serve tasty meals until 1983 when Bates passed away, and his widow sold the company.
Fast forward to 1985, when Frank’s son, Carl Bates, opened the first official Burger Boy on the St. Mary’s Strip with its iconic rotating sign. Talk about nostalgia! In 2017, the brand was purchased by an investment group that revitalized its presence in the area. It’s important to note that while the newer locations may not boast the original Googie-style architecture, they still hold on to the retro charm that fans adore, with a bold blue and orange color scheme and a cute clip-art chef mascot.
What to Expect at the Windcrest Location
The new Windcrest Burger Boy will aim to serve its customers joy and satisfaction daily. It’ll offer both dine-in and drive-thru options, making it easy to grab a meal on the go or kick back for a more relaxed experience. The hours will be friendly too, operating from 10:30 am to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and from 10:30 am to 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays. Late-night cravings, anyone?
A Message to Burger Lovers
So, mark your calendars and get ready for a summer of burgers! With the 10th Burger Boy location in Windcrest soon to open, there’s plenty to look forward to for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re hunting for a simple yet delicious meal or hoping to satisfy your sweet tooth with a creamy milkshake, Burger Boy promises to deliver on all fronts!
