The Frontier Drive-In was a fixture on Austin Highway during the 60's 70's in San Antonio. Many a Ro-Hawk drove there for the "best hamburger and greasy skinny onion rings". Michael Scott '67 recently went there and took pictures (as did John Hines '64 and Michael Wysong '63 before him). Enjoy
Just when your taste buds had given up and memories of nights on the old Austin Highway were about to slip into the past. It's back to the future - who says you can't return to a place where the words "calories and diet" were as foreign as people in their 30's. Well you can now return to those thrilling nights of yesteryear. Back by popular demand it's "Frontier Burger." If your Doctor says "What are you doing?" Ask him what he is doing there? The new Frontier Burger is located just West of the Magic Time Machine - How appropriate!
Forever Rohawk

Sue Sturrock Anderson Awesome! Those burgers were delicious! I wondered what happened to that place! Thanks!
Cal Sumner This store is just a tad larger than the original that was outside Breckenridge Park at the Wite on Broadway. They have a traditional 'Drive Through' , and the inside is very much 'Food Court' at the Mall style.... It was really great running into John .... ! Yea RHS !

Picture of dinner- Frontier open today for business- I was the 7th customer, so I ordered all my old favorites- original frontier burger, thin cut onion rings and the chili, only ate some of the hamburger and onion rings.
That is me in the red hat and yellow shirt, I was the 7th customer in line. I had the original frontier burger, the thin cut onion rings, and a small bowl of chili. Took most of the food home. Those were the items that l always got. It brought back memories of the old days of cruising the Austin Hwy
