Banana Cream Pie Heaven! Definitely one of the best deserts on the planet. Over the years, I have been to various Bandera restaurants numerous times and the food and service are always, consistently good. Bandera is definitely a place to "see and be seen" -- and is especially popular with a fairly well-heeled crowd of folks who drive 7-series BMW's and wear fancy gold Rolex's. The bar also has the reputation of a world-renown cougar pickup joint -- But, if you can get past the obvious pretentiousness the food and atmosphere are always excellent.
The to-die-for Veggie Burger and Chicken Enchiladas are stand-out good items on the menu. A dedicated meat lover -- the Bandera Veggie Burger is hearty enough to stand it's own against any steak sandwich. Get braised cabbage with goat cheese as your side and you won't be sorry! The grilled artichoke appetizer is also very good, albeit overpriced for what you get: a split artichoke with a tiny cup of very good aoli sauce. Overall, a very good meal, for a reasonable cost.
