Boudro's On the River Walk

Boudro's on the San Antonio River Walk is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience with incredible flavors and a vibrant atmosphere. From start to finish, the meal was exceptional, but a few dishes truly stood out.The shrimp and grits were the highlight of the evening--perfectly cooked shrimp paired with creamy, flavorful grits that had just the right balance of richness and spice. Every bite was packed with bold, well-seasoned flavors that showcased the restaurant's mastery of Southern-inspired cuisine.We started with a few appetizers, and they did not disappoint. The tableside guacamole was a fresh and flavorful experience, prepared right in front of us with perfectly ripe avocados, citrus, and a hint of spice. The crab tostadas were another standout--light, crisp, and loaded with fresh seafood and bright, zesty toppings.To finish, the desserts were just as impressive as the main courses. The crème brûlée had the perfect caramelized crust, giving way to a silky, rich custard beneath. The chocolate mousse was indulgent and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy without overwhelming.Beyond the food, the ambiance and service at Boudro's made the experience even more enjoyable. The riverside setting adds a touch of charm, and the staff was attentive and welcoming. If you're in San Antonio and looking for an unforgettable meal, Boudro's is a fantastic choice--especially if you don't want to miss out on their shrimp and grits!

I was attending a work conference in San Antonio. My colleagues and I were hungry after attending a vendor function, and Boudro's came highly recommended.Places located within tourist zones tend to be overrated and overpriced. Boudro's Texas Bistro is not such a place. Boudro's has been serving an elevated fusion of Southwest and New American cuisines on the Riverwalk since 1986. Boudro's sources its herbs, produce, and proteins locally whenever possible.There are a variety of dining options, whether inside, on their patio along the Riverwalk, or on one of their private river barges. Boudro's event spaces can accommodate up to nearly 60 guests.I ordered:Chile-Fried Gulf Oysters served on yucca chips with Serrano honey aioli, pineapple pico de gallo, and greens.Blackened Prime Rib with Boudreaux butter, rosemary potatoes, and roasted vegetablesBoth items were so delicious. The oysters were fried perfectly, and I loved the crispy salty chips with the pico de gallo.The Prime Rib was so flavorful and tender. And I finally understand the hype surrounding butter and steaks. I was so glad my hotel room (Element San Antonio Riverwalk) had a refrigerator and microwave as it was gone by mid-morning.

Boudro's has an ideal location by the River Walk, and the food was not bad. We ordered the fried oysters on yuca chips, the fried chicken rib eye, and the shrimp and grits. The fried oysters were tasty, and the meals were very filling. In fact, after eating here, you will want to walk off the meal along the River Walk. Their sangria is also worth trying.Our server was very accommodating, and since it was off-peak season, the restaurant was not busy. However, we were seated at the very back near the restrooms. Overall, aside from its convenient location, the food was just mediocre. If you are near the River Walk, it might be worth a visit for a drink or a quick bite, but do not expect an unforgettable dining experience.

Our table was right by the river. Very beautiful and romantic. Food/ drink is superb as well. I liked my cocktail French 75 but my friend did not like the signature margarita because of the taste of syrup. We ordered freshly made guacamole, fried oysters, salad, blackened prime rib, cream brûlée, and coconut flan. Everything was perfect. The prime rib is definitely a must. For the price of $47.5, it is too good to be true. Very flavorful and tender. Huge chunk for 2 ppl sharing. This restaurant made an unforgettable highlight of my trip to San Antonio. Make sure you reserve a table in advance otherwise long waiting times.

Came here for a group conference and they had a premade menu. I have been to the Riverwalk many times but never here. I forgot to take a pic of the southwest caesar salad. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back again. Delicious

Food was very good and ambience is nice. The location is perfect on the Riverwalk. The steak had a great smoky flavor and the herb crusted fish entree was delicious.The seafood cake appetizer was not my favorite but it tasted okay. Overall it's a great place to have dinner with a classy atmosphere.

Dining at Boudro's on the River Walk was an absolute delight! From the ambiance to the impeccable service, everything about this experience was top-notch.I ordered the grilled prime rib, and it was hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The meat was perfectly cooked--tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The mashed potatoes were creamy and well-seasoned, and the fresh veggies added a nice balance to the dish. Every bite was perfection.The location right on the River Walk adds to the charm. Sitting by the water and enjoying a beautifully prepared meal makes for a memorable experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the evening even better.If you're in San Antonio, Boudro's is a must-visit. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all exceptional. Five stars aren't enough to do this place justice!

One of many restaurants on the river walk. A local I know recommended this place as one of the best and we had a good meal here. Service was great and they make excellent margaritas. You can sit right along the river and enjoy that part of the city. They bring in a lot of ingredients directly from Mexico. The chicken enchiladas and crab tostada are great choices.

Back again to celebrate 28 years with my soul mate. We got there right before the 7:00 reservations hit and scored a back table. Then it got packed. The poor server with the guacamole-making cart could barely get around. Our server had just turned 21 and was very nice and cute. We started with an Old Fashioned, very nice. For dinner the wife had the wood smoked drum with garlic mashers. I ate 1/2 of both, delicious. I ordered the pork tenderloin in jam served with jalapeño grits. Also delicious. We were very happy to see a few TX wines on their list as well as a nice selection from Paso Robles CA. We had a Becker Cab with dinner. We finished off with a Crème Brûlée. Great evening.

Boudro's was so good. One of the many restaurants along the Riverwalk so we picked Boudro's because of the menu and the reviews. My sister loves her steak while I usually like seafood. We also saw that they make their own guacamole. It was one of their more popular appetizers. It was really good, they keep it more chunky so you get chunks of avocado. I got the Gulf Style Seacakes for my entree. And my sister got the grilled prime rib for her entree. The seacakes were good and the perfect amount for me so I didn't have any leftovers. It was served with a tomato and slaw. The prime rib was good. It was served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The service was great. Our server answered all our questions and even mentioned all his recommendations. They have outdoor dining along the riverwalk and indoor dining. Personally, I liked sitting along the riverwalk. So we were able to enjoy all the activity happening on the riverwalk. Inside, I felt like it was a bit dark.
