Guide Review - Bobby J's Old Fashion Hamburgers

This comfortable, very casual restaurant boasts a down home atmosphere and plenty of seating. You can order any of their 10 types of burgers from the counter, including an enormous 1-pounder. They also service fresh-cut fries, onion rings, chicken and fish.

For the vegetarian crowd, they do have a veggie burger. The burgers are extremely fresh and you can choose a variety of options including a bacon and cheese burger, an avocado burger, or my favorite the green chile burger. It has chopped green chiles, lettuce, tomato, mayo and cheese. They have 1/4 pound and 1/2 pound varieties.

Wash it all down with a soda, iced tea, cold bottle of beer (Bobby J's offers a big selection) or a creamy milk shake.

The staff at Bobby J's is extremely friendly and aim to please. Another thing I like about Bobby J's is the roll of paper napkins on the table. They come in handy if you order the chili cheese fries.

I live on the northwest side, so Helotes is just minutes from me. I can understand people from the other side of town hestitating to make the trek, but it's well worth the drive.
