You'll Find $2.05 Burgers At This Texas Hidden Gem

Nowadays, everyone is looking for a deal in all sorts of places. Home cooks are always searching for affordable steak alternatives to high-end cuts or ways to make cheap vodka taste better using water filter hacks. But what about food that's already made? With the exception of the Costco hot dog, it's rare to encounter restaurants that aren't charging an arm and a leg for something very basic. But in San Antonio, Texas, there's a restaurant called Murf's Better Burger that sells burgers for $2.05.

It's rare to see a $2 burger on the menu at some of the biggest fast food chains in the country, let alone at a locally run, family-owned restaurant. But every Thursday night at Murf's, you can purchase a hamburger for $2.05 and a cheeseburger for $2.45. To be fair, the prices at Murf's are typically low, with combos that include a Double Cheeseburger, large fries, and a large drink (also known as a Double Murf's) going for $8.99 — which, at national fast food chains, could cost you close to $16. It might not sound like a lot to some people, but it can make a difference when feeding a family.

Murf's has been in operation since 1985 and has been serving good food on West End Avenue for years. Fans of the place say it's a staple of the community, and although the name of the establishment is Better Burgers, Murf's also has a good reputation for serving perfectly crispy onion rings, corn dogs, and milkshakes.

It seems like the half-price night is a consistent event that happens every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., but Murf's Better Burger occasionally implements discounts on Saturdays as well — if you're lucky, you might get to enjoy its $2 all-day burger deal on the weekend. The majority of online reviews for Murf's Better Burger are positive, with many people impressed by the value and the quality of the food compared to the price. One reviewer on Google wrote, "We had the $2 Saturday burger deal. Burgers were good. I ordered [seven] burgers, onion rings [for] $3 and fries, all came out to $25. We ate burgers for [two] days."

While not every review is glowing, most complaints are minor compared to the majority of positive feedback. In fact, some corners of the internet are actively debating whether Murf's should be considered the best burger in all of San Antonio. You can try it yourself by visiting the restaurant in Texas.
