    Cordon Bleu with Okra and Broccoli
    Gina C.

    In Bandera from San Antonio and looking for something local and good and we were just driving around when we found this place downtown. Food was amazing !!!! We didn't take many pics but the Cotdon Bleu was delicious! Our waiter Jamie gave top-notch customer service and checked on us consistently. Definitely will be back !

    Great spot in Bandera. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms are usually my first observations which this place nails. The food outstanding and the waitress was very patient and informative with her knowledge of the extensive menu. Warning there are a lot of options and everything that we saw looked outstanding and everything we ate was amazing.

    Great food, service and atmosphere. Free trivia every Thursday at 6:00. Stephanie and Jamie are the best servers. Go Honey Badgers.

    The food is wonderful- the drinks are great and the atmosphere is always fun! Especially on trivia nights on Thursday evenings

    Chicken Fried Chicken with green beans & gravy on the side.

    Nice restaurant. Wife had grilled shrimp stated was just OK (tasted like they were pan seared vs grilled as advertised). I had a cup of chili (of course no bean in Texas) that was excellent! Chicken fried chicken was excellent and very generous in size. Neither of us cared for the green beans. Very bland as though they were blanched then served. Menu had a nice selection of steaks, fried food, burgers & assorted seafood offerings. Desserts looked homemade but will have to try another day.

    We drove here again to try their Forge your own Breakfast & we Sub'd Chicken Fried Chicken & Chicken Fried Steak to our Breakfast orders. Our waiter Mike was very attentive. Breakfast delicious as expected.

    Love, love love the Pumpkin Brown Sugar Whipped Cream latte! Yum!  Great service and ambiance as always!  Great place for small meetings!

However, during the Super Bowl halftime, the broadcast was switched to a different program (Turning Point) instead of the official Super Bowl halftime show. This was very disappointing, especially since this was a paid event and there was no prior notice that the halftime show would not be shown. When we asked about the change and requested a partial refund due to the lack of transparency, the owner's wife refused to discuss the concern and appeared upset that we even asked. When the owner, Jeremy, became involved, the situation escalated. He stated that because we are minorities, it didn't matter, and told us that it was his business and that they didn't need our business. We felt disrespected, insulted, and belittled based on our race and appearance. This experience was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable. We chose to leave early because of how the situation was handled. It's unfortunate because the event started off well, but respectful communication, transparency, and treating all customers with dignity should be a priority for any business.

    Awhile back I took the better half to Sauced Wing Bar. Was around dinner so I wanted libations…read moreinstead of food. Drinks were good; she was happy so a return visit was warranted. Tried lunch on a recent weekend. Not surprising total sports bar vibe. Shout to the place that started this riff off yet totally about to die miserably aka Hooters. We've been seated; attentive service through out the meal. Extra asks delivered quickly. She likes boned wings naked with BBQ on the side. No complaints from her side except she thought the house made tots were better on the last visit. I decided to try a combo of boned wings and chicken tenders. Boned in the hottest Buffalo sauce offered and went with the recommendation of the waitress on the Garlic Parmesan tenders. For the boned I wish they would have been double sauced. Asking for more sauce only got me cold sauce. Through many mediocre attempts I've decided boneless wings aren't my thing. Mostly factory made, fried too many times, and sauced by the restaurant. Better alternative was Sauced split (almost a paillard) tenders. I think this will be my next meal here. Tenders double sauced in the Buffalo sauce. And, I'll be skipping the Caesar Salad that we ordered on this visit. Kitchen, it's not a "Caesar" if the ingredients aren't true to the original recipe. I'd probably be all over a higher start rating if this attempt to avoid double fried (at least on my side) was acceptable. We both took a bite and pushed the salad away to the other side of the table. Find an old recipe from Mexico and correct it.

    Food is always good at sauced. Menu has a great variety fit things other than wings…read more We usually sit at the bar and have great service. The restaurant is one large room, so it tends to get noisy, making conversation at the table difficult.
