I ate at Christian’s on Saturday and while we waited a LONG time to get our burgers… it was well worth the wait. I live in San Antonio and I’ve eaten all of the greatest burgers here. None of them compare to Christian’s. Delicious!

Christians is excellent. You must try the onion rings. I prefer the atmosphere of the I-10 location to the Midtown location. The Midtown location feels like you are still in college.

This is the best burger I have had…at least out of the ones I can remember. I echo the previous comments, but would also suggest ordering a side of honey mustard to dip the fries in. It’s excellent.

Taaaaaasty, really nice and juicy. Great bun and good fries. I could hardly finish it because it was so big but i didn’t want to stop eating it! It’s that good.

Let me sum up my 9/10 burger rating by stating that this is the burger that inspired me to seek out Burger Tyme for the sole purpose of telling others what a fantastic burger this is. I had my last Christian’s burger on Saturday 4/4. I ordered the 1/3lb burger with cheese and all the fixings. Much to my delight the burger arrived in a perfectly presented plastic basket surrounded by crisp fries. From the very first bite I was reminded of what burger heaven must be like. I swear I saw angelic cows flying around me praising me for enjoying this triumph of the grill. The burger patty itself was quite thick – you would swear that the 1/3lb patty is really a 1/2lb. The patty was full of incredible juices and was the perfect medley of salt and flavor. No description would be complete without mentioning the veggies that accompanied this tastebud pleaser. The onion, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles came together in a delicious symphony of flavor. The other toppings (mustard and a little mayo) seemed to bind everything together. The bread must have been baked fresh that morning. All too often burgers are served on dry bread – not the case at Christian’s. To top it off, we even saw the man himself – Christian. Please do yourself a favor and get a burger – it’s worth a trip to Houston. And if you do make it, call me so I can grab another burger.

Not only is this a really good burger, but the fries are good as well. An A+ in my book. The only criticism I could possibly find is that it can be a little messy. I don’t really like burger juices running down my arm while I’m trying to enjoy my burger. Other than that, I’d say it’s my favorite burger meal.

If you’re wary of the wait, there’s a shuffle board and tons of TV’s to pass the time.

I’d agree with your assessment that this is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The burger is nice and juicy and very well seasoned. However, the double burger is way too much for even me to handle. I do think the patties are closer to half-pounders rather than third-pounders, making biting into the double nearly impossible.

I found it to be a somewhat messy burger, but perhaps because the last time I did the double and because of my affinity for ketchup. I totally put about twice what a normal person would, and then pour some on the plate for dipping with each bite.
