All 3 were perfectly smoked moist and tender. Next time we would double up on the sausage or brisket just because they were SO delicious. Nothing against the turkey but it's just turkey! Sides were borracho beans and mac and cheese both were . Hands down the beans were the most flavorful and perfect consistency I've ever had, simply amazing. Super friendly and polite staff and reasonably priced for quantity and quality. Loved it!

I highly recommend everyone trying them out, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee!

I did some researches on where to eat in Bandera. I found some good options which are more modern…read more I wanted to eat somewhere historical. I settled to try this place. We walk in and there were at least 3 waiters around looking at us confused if we should order at the counter seeing a line there or just seat ourselves. We finally decided to flag a waitress and ask her. As friendly as people are in this town it was not the case at this restaurant. The lady was short with her answers and almost felt like she is mocking our questions. I saw that the must try is the Texas Spud which seems to be a loaded baked potato. In general from what I know baked potatoes might include bacon and my friend doesn't eat bacon. The way she answered about it was such a turn off! We were about to have a full mean ended up opting to just try the Texas Spud and a side of onion rings since she recommended that The onion rings are old and inedible we left them. The Texas Spud when it came to the table I ended up having a full understanding of it by eating it. So basically it is a baked potato with chili on it (no meat) it feels it came from a can and cheese pickled jalapeño and sour cream decorated with tortilla chips around it. It was ok but I could say I have tried it. The restaurant itself is very old. I believe it is the oldest running restaurant in Bandera I got to see The John Wayne Room which is western-themed dining room. Decorated with memorabilia dedicated to "The Duke". Also they have a salad bar that looks like a wagon. Just take a picture of it from far away the veggies and everything in it looks very sad! Will I return to eat there? Definitely not! But I do not regret trying it out

This is a split review…read more I ordered a medium-rare ribeye. The chef delivered it on a hot platter that cooked the steak to well-done. The server offered me steak sauce. I told her "I hope not". Then she let me run out of tea and came around to drop the check. I do not recommend OST Restaurant. Another member of my party gave a thumbs up to the Chicken Fried Steak.
