This place is hands down amazing! They have a live jazz band playing while you are enjoying your meal. The atmosphere is swanky with a touch of class. The service is amazing and they went above and beyond to make my dining experience excellent. Super attentive wait staff, greeted with a friendly smile by the hostess, food was out in a prompt and timely manner. I had the bbq ribs which were super tender and melting in my mouth and my boyfriend had the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. There is not enough good to say about the nice time we were able to spend at this restuarant. Oh, and the dessert was soooooo good! We had the walnut apple pie cobbler which was rich and full or warm caramel...
I was lucky to find Bandera while I was in the area today and decided to give it a look for lunch. Wound up with seats at the chef’s bar because we didn’t have reservations, but that’s exactly where I would request to sit when I return again. Getting to watch the chefs prepare the food was a great experience all on its own. It helped us decide what we all wanted to eat especially after we watched him prepare an Oreo cookies and cream ice cream dessert in a bath of chocolate sauce. The service was great, the food was spectacular, and I’d recommend this to anyone.
Great place and staff. Food is delicious and the lounge atmosphere with the jazz band playing is great. We had the bread plate, the cheeseburger, and the ribs and everything was good and tasty. Just one thing weird : the bottle of diet coke is about half the size of the regular coke bottle for nearly the same price... Could have been good to have the option to get a full size bottle.
great place and personal. eating is delicious and the lounge atmosphere with the jazz band game is great. we had the bread plate, cheeseburger and the ripening and everything was good and delicious. one is strange: the bottle koks is about half the normal coks bottle for almost the same price. might have been good to have the possibility to get a full-sized bottle.

This place is pretty swank and the burger was excellent. Service was good. Prices reflect their location (pricey) and everything was just too dark for no reason. The band was pretty good though, and that was a neat experience. Bring someone here if they're a date that likes nice things; don't come here with a buddy.
5 stars, the atmosphere was filled with happy people who serve and bring plates to tables that make their palate dance. I have to say that the salatvinaigrette was not exaggerated, but was just right with the crumb of mandling. the salmon was cooked to a fluffy perfection. bandera is on my must EAT list.
Macho salad and grilled veggies are consistently delicious. The cornbread is super delicious but they need to take an extra minute mixing the batter. We had to send ours back twice because there were pockets of uncooked/unmixed cornmeal mix
I heard awesome things about this place and when my birthday rolled around ( the big X0!) I picked this place to celebrate my birthday with few special
