Enjoyed another wonderful supper at Trail Boss! My husband and I discovered Trail Boss about two years ago and continue to return again and again. I love that I can enjoy real vegetables paired with quality protein. My husband’s go-to tavorite is the chicken-fried steak, made with top sirloin and very little gristle-always tender and delicious.
This visit, I decided to branch out and try the salmon, along with my favorite brussels sprouts and sautéed spinach. The salmon had a unique and flavorful twist with a lime cilantro cream sauce.
Trail Boss isn’t just our regular spot-we take everyone who joins us in Bandera here first. Visiting with manager Corey Morgan is always a pleasure; his conversations are as enjoyable as the food. He also shared the great news that they’re now offering lunch specials, similar to their sister restaurant in Kerrville. We were especially blessed to have Kinsey as our waitress last night. Her smile, positivity, and joyful heart truly made our evening even better. An all-around excellent experience once again!

Small towns have a peculiar thing about their restaurants, bars and stores. They have their own personality and vibes.
This place is no different, the service is great, the decoration makes this place special and with personality. Quiet yet alive.
Food, although no bad, is nothing special. I feel like you can find it any other place. That being said, I would definitely come back.
Pro tip: you have to try the pecan cheesecake.

Had the chicken fried steak. The green beans were fresh and good. The mashed potatoes were not the instant blah crap one usually gets. The mashed potatoes were good. The gravy was a little spicy. I liked it. The steak was great. 5 stars Highly recommend Our waiteress was Taylor. She was on point. She didn’t miss much and pro actively kept the meal flowing 5 star waiteress in Taylor

Visited with friends and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — the New York strip steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Special thanks to Sam for being incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend took a customer’s suggestion to try a restaurant in Bandera, but when we got there, neither of us were impressed with the menu. So I searched Google for the closest steakhouse and found Trail Boss.
The restaurant was quaint and absolutely adorable. The service was impeccable, even though they were understaffed due to an emergency with the manager. My boyfriend and I waited at the bar for a table and ordered the stuffed mushrooms. They came with a gravy that was unbelievably good.
We went ahead and ordered the 16 oz. ribeye right before our table became available. Once we were seated, they brought out our steak — and let me tell you, I have tried a lot of ribeyes in my life, and this was by far the best one I’ve ever had.
We split the steak with two sides: a baked potato and Brussels sprouts. He finished his half, and I couldn’t quite finish mine, so I took the rest home. It was that good.
I’m so happy we found this place. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

I ordered pork schnitzel last time I was here 2 weeks ago. I ordered the same thing and the portion wasn’t even half the size of last time. The pic you’re seeing has no bites taken out of it. I used to come here each Sunday after shooting at the range in Bandera. No longer will I dine here if you’re going to charge me $16.99 for a skimped plate. Also the servers just sit in the kitchen staring at the cooks and doing whatever. Most the time i have to flag down a server that’s not even mine to get noticed. I’m hot n thirsty when I come from the range, if I have to beg for a refill you’re simply not doing your job. I was a server for years, focus on your tables and maybe you’ll get more than a flat 20% tip.

My daughter and I was on the area for my birthday weekend and was looking for a good steak. It was somewhat busy and yet didn’t feel crowded. The atmosphere was great. We were welcomed upon entering. Paige was our waitress and was phenomenal. Our steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. We definitely recommend and would come back if on the area again. I would give 10 stars if I could.

My cousin recommended this place to my husband and I. We used to go to Bandera more frequently until I became disabled. Lately, I have no desire to eat. This place changed that for me last night. I’m treated as a bother for most of my special food requests everywhere I go, USUALLY. Tonight, I was actually anxious for nothing. The Waitress Stacey W. was amazing. They were busy and I didn’t feel ignored one bit. I would put a photo of the food but I…
Kinda inhaled it.
Also, Sprite with Peach Schnapps and cherry juice is really delicious. It went well with the white chocolate blueberry cobbler cheesecake. That is phenomenal.
Oh and definitely look up.
This is the most beautiful ceiling I’ve seen in a long time. I wasn’t expecting it either!

Super friendly folks and very tasty food! We had the stuffed mushrooms and they were delicious and piping hot. Our steaks were juicy and perfectly cooked, but a little undersalted. Our cocktails were delicious. We went on a Saturday night and had a 30-minute wait to get in, but service was fast once we got in. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a decent dinner spot in Bandera.
