For those about to eat, I salute you.

To clarify the blog description further, I'm going to try to cover some places reasonably close to campus that offer a good time and good food for hopefully reasonable money, but keep in mind that my emphasis will be on good food, and I assure you the time and money will be well spent.

For my first recommendation, and probably strongest, I present to you GBG, or the Gourmet Burger Grill. A delightful place where burgers are plentiful and, for what you get, surprisingly cheap. A ten-to-fifteen minute drive from campus will lead you to this masterful menu where happiness tastes a lot like sourgdough buns.

The menu is extensive and beautifully customizable, with many healthy alternatives offered, but you shouldn't go here for health food. With your standard options like bacon cheeseburgers, more rare selections such as bison or kobe beef, and daily specials that not only offer great value but some delicious and exotic tastes, there's something to please anyone. The onion rings are simply immaculate, and I personally imposition you to try their sweet potato fries, a infallible compliment to any meal.

The store is clean and atmospheric, the service is expedient and the workers try their best to feign personal interest but it's at least unobtrusive and does little to take away from the experience.

With burgers ranging from $6 to $12 to begin with (although I've customized one up to $20, I love cheese), it's a value that shouldn't be missed.

Best burgers I've had in San Antonio, period.

10/10
