From a long hike we stopped by at this restaurant where even it’s already 2PM they were still busy - so we had an impression that it’s good. We ordered Pecan Crusted Chicken and Chicken Sandwich and it was a big portion for its amount. And yes it was so good! The service was enough nothing special. The place was neat and pretty spacious. They have outside and indoor sitting - a bar, salad bar, and more. They offers breakfast to dinner which includes coffee and pastries. Based on my friend who loves coffee - the coffee was really good. We glad we stopped by here and able to fill our empty stomach of this good food.

I’d give this place a 5 star for the quality of the steak and service. However, I couldn’t eat any of the sides besides the salad (they had a salad bar and you could make your own bowl there.) The wild rice was alright but the French fries were inedible to me, dry and old. The Buffalo wings were pretty good. I would still recommend this place but just be mindful to what you order.

The margarita flight and cheese sticks were some of the best we’ve ever had! The cheese sticks were lightly breaded but gooey and crunchy. The service was good. We weren’t impressed with the Ashauki beef…would get the regular next time. Burger and fries were very good and the mash with white gravy were good southern style. Good spot if you’re passing through and hungry.

Order the Ribeye and it was FANTASTIC, very tasty, and it was just like I ordered it. The mix vegetables were phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back with other friends and family. The staff was superb with the order and providing us drinks (water and Palmer drinks) great job. I did not get the notion of no pitchers on the tables. When is hot outside I would like a pitcher of water, tea, etc that way the waitress doesn't have bee going back and forth, but I can order and get a bucket of beers. Oh!! Well.

New to the area; it was our first time there and Rebecca was great!!! Highly recommend the chicken fried chicken! Only complaint was that the chocolate red velvet cake was pretty dry, but everything else was yummy. Friendly staff, good food, and it was nice to sit out on the front porch/deck.

Bandera has a surprisingly good food scene, and this is one more of our favorites. The fried mushrooms are fantastic, and the specialty pecan crusted chicken is out of this world! It has a slightly longer preparation time, but it is WELL worth it! We've always had good service and enjoyed the friendly ambiance. Definitely recommend!

First visit to Bandera. TJs was a perfect place to end our day. I made reservations online and our table was ready even when we arrived a little early. Also, reserved table was in one of the best dining room spots. Salad bar was filled with fresh veggies and multiple salad dressing choices which tasted home made. I wish the salad bowls were a little bigger. I ordered the Cordon Blue and it meet expectations of previous reviews. The breading was very light, chicken tender to only use a fork, and the sauce with fresh mushrooms was not too heavy. Hubby ordered liver and onions (not a common restaurant menu item, but always available here). It was the best he has eaten in years- “tastes like mom’s”. Also, fork tender with rich homemade gravy. We had great service, fast and friendly. A gal celebrating her birthday was serenaded by a waiter opera singer!! That made our visit extra special. A lot of locals dining which also means quality is consistent.

Great staff, good food, the chicken cordon bleu is handmade and delicious. The kids enjoyed it. My wife's chicken fried steak was excellent. Only problem we had were the locals eyeballing us because we were seated where they were going to have trivia night but that's not our fault we were paying customers and that's where they sat us. Definitely worth stopping in and trying! Features: Didn't notice any rules being enforced.

Food was amazing, staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the salad bar. Must stop in for good tasting food. We went for lunch/dinner. I loved their margarita flight. Upstairs is coffee and small breakfast meau yet we didn't check that out. 🙃 nice outside porch Upstairs to chill and see the busy town. I gave it a 4 because when we sat down the lady that sat us informed us we may need to hurry because trivia night was gonna start in a hour and half yet she also knew there was 10 of us. We were not rushed yet it was still to a bit off putting.
