Where to Eat in Bandera
If you’re looking for Tex-Mex or country cooking with lots of local atmosphere and little harm to your wallet, you’ve come to the right place. Typical is O.S.T., 311 Main St. (www.ostbandera.com; 830/796-3836), named for the Old Spanish Trail that used to run through Bandera; it’s been open since 1921. Check out the John Wayne room, covered in photos and old movie posters of “the Duke.” Brick’s River Cafe, 1105 Main St. (www.bricksrivercafe.com; 830/460-3200), behind the River Oak Inn at the north end of town, serves up down-home standards such as chicken-fried steak, fried catfish, and liver and onions. From a seat on the back deck (half enclosed, half open-air), you can look out over the Medina River. Mi Pueblo, 706 Main St. ( 830/796-8040), is known for its generous portions of dishes like enchiladas verde, carnitas, and breakfast burritos. The huge TJ’s at the Old Forge, 807 Main St. (www.tjsoldforge.com; 830/796-9990), which calls its atmosphere “modern Western,” has a nice selection of salads, fish, and lighter fare alongside its burgers and steaks. The two-tiered dining room has bars with TVs tuned to the latest games.
