Burgers Brews & Blues

Great new dive beer place. Cheap domestics, tater tots (!), and great, classic burgers. Great energy and family vibe, and regular live music, if mostly of the amateur variety. Good juke box to top it off on bandless nights.

Went there on 2÷11÷16 during lunch break and had a whole group coming to try it out. SUPER EXCITED. I arrived first at 11:10a.m. Protective gate was open but door was locked. Hours stated open at 11am! I called the number listed 3 times… no answer. 11:20 knock at the door and some guy inside finally comes to the door and says we’re closed!!! He opens up to tell a beer distributor that no one is there; no manager or anything. All the guy can say is there was a problem.
I go to another mom and pop burger place closer to my work and I have never had any kind of experience like this… from what I can tell with other reviews, this is a dinner place where you go for the «dive» experience.
Cant even review the food.
I would say call before you go… if they answer

Good burgers, friendly staff and you can even get a cold beer. What else do you need.

This is a new place near the Woodlawn Lake neighborhood and with any new places there are some small issues they will need to overcome. I am confident they will be addressed soon.
My order was a bacon cheeseburger. I added jalapeños as a add on with a side of onion rings.
Let’s start with the customer service, as soon as I walked in this place had a great vibe to it. Maybe due to the live band playing or maybe the crowd who was in attendance was having a good time watching the Spurs game whatever it was the vibe was good. The décor is cool and relaxed.
Service was a bit slow and a bit confused. To be fair it was super busy and this is after all a new place and I am sure they are still working out the kinks. I won’t hold it against them at this time.
Let’s move on to my order. Full disclosure since it was so busy I placed my order to go. There are so few pleasures in life and a good burger with a side of onion rings with a nice cold beer is one of them.
Burger– nicely toasted and buttered bun. Meat was a little under season for my preference but still good. Overall the burger was good. Worth a visit on the burger alone.
Onion rings– here is where I was a bit disappointed. There is nothing better then a hand cut and battered onion rings, I hate to say this but these were prepackaged. Almost tasted like the onion rings you find at other fast food joints. Nothing that will set them apart. I am hoping they move away from prepackaged onion rings.
Brew– since I took my order to go I did not have a opportunity to enjoy a beer but what I did see from the beer menu selection is minimal. Nothing out of the ordinary, the same usual suspects … Bud… bud light… Miller lite… XX’s…etc…
Overall this is a new place with lots of potential. I am looking forward to see them improve so I can go back.
Defiantly worth a visit…

Delicious burgers, friendly staff. My husband and I really enjoyed this and so did my kid (which is very important)! I did find out one thing that parking is across the street. This is a new establishment so they don’t have the signs up just yet, but if you go and can’t find parking up front know that it is on the side.

Chris Madrids, watch out!!! I must say for a new restaurant this place is off to a good start. I came to try the burgers as the name is «Burgers, Blues & Brews». The inside of the restaurant has an art-​deco vibe going on. The menu offers much to choose from and a little something for everyone. They even offer a kids menu. You can choose between four different cheeses, toast or buns, and you can add different toppings. They also have tater tots and onion rings besides the usual French fries. That was a plus! I ordered a regular burger with bacon and jalapeños. My fiancé ordered a double burger with Swiss cheese and we ordered my son a chicken tender meal. We ordered tater tots and fries as our sides. EVERYTHING was good. The burgers were huge and the patties were cooked perfectly, the buns tasted great and the sides were also good. I could also tell the place was clean! The staff was quick, helpful and very friendly and we got to catch up on the Spurs game. Five stars to this place!

Burgers, Brews & Blues is the newest restaurant in the Woodlawn Lake neighborhood. It is a pleasant change from the traditional fare of Mexican food in the neighborhood. They do offer «brews,» so that adds a pleasant change to the lunch and dinner menu. The décor is nostalgic 1950’s setting, but the jukebox music machine is computerized for cash and credit cards. There are three large TV’s to watch, especially on «Game» days. There is plenty of seating at tables, booths and on stools at the bar.
The owner welcomes you personally when you enter. And the staff is very helpful and friendly. They accept cash, credit/​debit cards. They stay open to 11pm on Thurs., Fri., and Sat.
I am giving them 3 stars. My French fries were frozen krinkle fries. I am going to go back and order a full meal because I want to give them the 5 stars that I think they really do deserve.
