Broadway has a fresh contender in San Antonio’s never-ending burger bragging rights battle. In under three months, Houston-born Adair Kitchen has turned the former Jim's diner in Alamo Heights into a polished, all-day hangout where locals are suddenly pointing when the question of the city's best burger comes up. Word-of-mouth, plus a recent local TV spotlight, has pushed the burger and a lineup of weekday deals into heavy rotation in those arguments.
SA Live's recent segment on KSAT zeroed in on the sandwich, noting that diners have started calling it the "best burger in SA." The piece also walked viewers through weekday promotions that include a $5 burger and $5 margarita on Tuesdays, all-day happy hour-style specials on Mondays and half-off bottles for "Wine Down Wednesday." The TV feature framed the Broadway opening as a worth-the-drive neighborhood find that works just as well for early coffee crowds as it does for evening diners.
According to the San Antonio Express-News, Adair Kitchen quietly opened in March at 4108 Broadway in the former Jim's diner. The restaurant kept the building's midcentury bones, added a full bar and introduced a counter-to-table service model. The paper noted brisk breakfast shifts and a menu that moves from morning plates to sandwiches, salads and more substantial dinner entrées as the day goes on.
Menu and deals
Per Adair Kitchen's website, the concept is summed up as "Morning.Noon.Night," with an all-day menu that stretches from early biscuits and grits to burgers, salads and pesto pasta. The Broadway location's online ordering page on Toast lists current menu items, operating hours and takeout options for anyone who wants to skip the line and head straight home with dinner.
Why locals are talking
As reported by KSAT, the "best burger" chatter really took off after the TV spotlight paired the sandwich with the restaurant's promotional pricing, giving San Antonians a low-risk excuse to test the hype for themselves. Early listings and reviews on Apple Maps and delivery platforms show a mix of praise for the breakfast lineup and curiosity about the burger, a local debate the TV attention is helping amplify.
Adair Kitchen's Broadway address is 4108 Broadway St in Alamo Heights. The restaurant's site lists weekday hours starting at 7 a.m. and expanded weekend service for brunch and dinner. For the latest hours, reservations and deals, see Adair Kitchen.
