Has smash patty mania run its course? These days we\u2019re using both hands to bite into San Antonio\u2019s most outrageous burgers. These seven Alamo City joints know that less isn\u2019t more, topping buns with thick slabs of beef, a tower of toppings, and enough cheese for a Wisconsin potluck. Forget those puny handhelds; it\u2019s time to go big, or go home.<\/p>\n

Bunz Handcrafted Burgers<\/strong><\/a>
Think plant-based burgers have to be wholesome? This downtown joint gives sprouts a hard pass. The Vegan Bunz festoons a Beyond patty with non-dairy Cheddar, roasted poblano peppers, a snarl of caramelized onions, and a scandalous smear of mayo \u2014 all held together by a skewer. Where\u2019s the beef? Nowhere. But we think Clara Peller is downing them in heaven.<\/p>\n

SA Fredericksburgers<\/strong><\/a>
Bordering OP Schnabel Park, this classic has fun imagining city roads as burgers. Huebner has mushrooms and Swiss; Zarzamora gets ham and avocado. But you\u2019re here for the big \u2018uns, and that requires a whole town. The Big Boerne fills those Hill Country skies with three patties, three slices of Cheddar, and a whole mess of bacon and grilled onions.<\/p>\n

Benjie\u2019s Munch<\/strong><\/a>
Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night? Grab some afternoon delight with this Far North haunt\u2019s Rocket Burger, a gourmet giant with arugula, red onion jam, and a blanket of gouda. If that\u2019s not enough to make the sparks ignite, wrap your hands around the Keto Burger, a protein-packed combo that adds bacon, Provolone, Mozzarella, and a fried egg to the patty, tossing aside the bun in all that carnivore passion.<\/p>\n

Cuarto de Kilo Burgers<\/strong><\/a>
The only U.S. outpost of a famed Mexican burger chain, this Far West Side joint makes Dairy Queen\u2019s quarter pounder seem downright demure. Open wide (or maybe unhinge your jaw) for the Cuatro BBQ cheeseburger, a meaty skyscraper built from a half-pound patty, American cheese, and onion rings. Or go feral over the Cuatro Beastly, a bacon-topped whopper oozing with pepper jack and the restaurant\u2019s ferocious bestia sauce. <\/p>\n

\"Tycoon Even the sliders have oomph at Tycoon Flats.Tycoon Flats\/ Facebook<\/p>\n

Tycoon Flats<\/strong><\/a>
We have a sneaking suspicion that this St. Mary\u2019s Strip staple invents its burgers on a prize wheel. Spin once, and you get a bean burger. Spin three times and win big with fried apples, blue cheese, and bacon teetering on a bun. But why take one turn when you can have three? Order three specialty tykes \u2014 the spot\u2019s slider sampler \u2014and mix and match all sorts of zany combinations. At $18.95, the price is certainly right.<\/p>\n

Mark’s Outing<\/strong><\/a>
This East Side staple\u2019s main claim to fame is the hefty Fatty’s Burger, a workaday option known as much for its perfect execution as its gargantuan size. From there, the joint gets a little more baroque, layering saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, avocado slices, or even a scoop of fried ice cream. All shrink in comparison to its two-pound goliath. Eat it all, and you\u2019ll find your glamor shot on the wall of fame.<\/p>\n

Burgers vs. Tacos<\/strong>
<\/a>Turns out that San Antonio’s top taquero couple know their way around a bun as much as a tortilla. Charlie Gonzalez and Gaby Hinojosa, the pair behind Panfila Cantina, frame this Oak Hills spot as a friendly rivalry, and both punch well above their weight. But if you\u2019re the betting kind, try the Kung Fu Burger piled with white Cheddar, Napa cabbage slaw, and char siu pork.<\/p>\n
