Attention West Side, the Burger Boy will feed you now.

San Antonio’s second location of the iconic hamburger joint will open its doors for lunch and dinner at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at 9334 Potranco Road.

The new building has the signature pitched roof of the original location at 2323 N. St. Mary’s St., but it has significantly more kitchen and dining space with room for up to 60 dine-in patrons.

"People have been waiting for this since we put the signs out a year ago," co-owner Bryce Pohlmeier said. "The building turned out great, and we think we brought the elements from the original with us

Burger Boy has been feeding customers since 1985 with a simple menu that focuses on burgers, fries and shakes. Regulars love the Bates Special (a quarter-pound burger, fries and soft drink), while the Working Man (a half-pound double, fries and a drink) feeds heartier appetites. Burger Boy has been a regular critic’s pick on the annual Express-News “Readers’ Choice” section.

A new ownership group acquired Burger Boy in 2017 and announced plans to build multiple locations throughout the area. Pohlmeier said that they already have the location for the third restaurant acquired at Loop 1604 and Culebra, and hope to open four new properties in the next four years.

Burger Boy, 9334 Potranco Road. Tentative hours: 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturdays. Facebook: BurgerBoySA.
