Brick's River Cafe

Food was amazing! came in 30 minutes before closing and the staff was super nice & very attentive. I normally never finish my plate of food, i got the chicken fried chicken and finished my entire plate. I also got a drink from the bar and that was also delicious and not too pricey. if you're ever in Bandera come here!!

The broasted chicken is amazing! Large portions. Very friendly team of professionals. And don't forget the icebox pie!! To die for!

I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place.My first time here, I would've given this place 3 stars. Why? Half my order was missing and the things that I really wanted were unavailable. This place is busy. They have an outdoor patio, a separate sunroom, and the main dining area. One thing I loved was the texas smashed potato. It is delicious. Got it again today.First time, I ate it with the 4 piece broasted chicken. This time, I had the shaved ribeye.Let me tell you about my favorite menu item...fried pickles! They have a slight kick to them. So delicious! Everything I've eaten has been good.The things that was great today was the friendly service from Richard. He gets all the stars.

My hubby has been telling me about broasted chicken for 13 years and this is the first time I've actually gotten to try it. He ordered a Bulldog burger with fries. The bun is a jalapeño bread and it has pickled jalapeños on top of the patty as well as jalapeño cheese. It has the perfect kick of spice and the homemade bread was so tasty. As you can tell from the photo, the cheese was all melty and creamy. Fries were frozen but fried so perfectly... crispy, airy, and slightly seasoned. I ordered the broasted chicken with braised cabbage and fried okra. The chicken was so juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The cabbage was a nice crisp tender and with a little butter added, was perfect. Okra was extra crispy which is my favorite and no sliminess. Notice all the crispy words?! I'm all about texture. Service was great and the view was woodsy and peaceful. Will definitely return!!!

A Bandera local took me to this eatery for lunch. We were inmediately seated by a window with a lovely view. The restaurant was very clean and the staff friendly.The drinks came in huge Ball jars. My unsweet tea was just right. The waitress offered extra lemon without us asking.The menu is generous and we decided to split our order of liver and onions with 2 sides and a chicken salad sandwich with cole slaw. They offered to serve our split order on separate plates. When the liver and onions arrived, the portion was so large for each of us that we couldn't even consider eating our chicken salad. I got a side of Texas smashed potatoes, which is a potato cake with sour cream and scallions. My friend got green beans. The liver was smothered in onions and was so tender. My friend ate every bite of hers.We ended up getting our sandwich and side to go. The waitress brought us to go boxes, a bag, and offered me a to-go iced tea all without us needing to ask. Total cost - an amazing $25 plus tip.Of course I was far too stuffed to try one of the desserts on display at the front particularly the pecan pie and peach cobbler.If I had the chance to eat here often I would. If you live close enough to eat here regularly, do it! If you are passing through this cool little Texas town, stop and get a meal here.

Absolute worst place to go too EVER The food was disgusting the servers were out by the dumpsters handling stray kittens the. Serving us we sent our food back . Went outside to check on our animals and all staff including the cook was outside by the dumpsters again handling the kittens and feeding them by hand.... No wonder our waitress would disappear and we wouldn't see no one for a while .., overall we left feeling sick and discusted with our experience... if you want food poisoning and horrible service this the perfect place fir you and your family

You will leave thinking you just ate the best burger in years or your life! Any burger is recommended.

Excellent food and very good service. We stopped here after a 300 mile motorcycle ride from Ft Worth - it was a very welcomed stop. I had the Jager Schnitzel with cabbage, mash potatoes and mushroom gravy - wow was it good. Best cabbage I have ever had. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious food and adult beverages, fast and friendly service, excellent ambiance, will absolutely eat here again!

We ate here with a large group. The service was excellent. The chicken was as good as I've ever had. Most of the dining is up or downstairs a few stairs, so if you have a mobility issue, ask ahead.
