At Bandera, the rich aroma of roasting chicken greets you even before the host does. Once inside, you'll find a warmly lit restaurant with a rustic Western feel. The menu dabbles in a wide variety of regional American cuisines without lingering anywhere too long. Typical dinner offerings are roast prime rib, pork tenderloin with Chinatown barbecue sauce and rotisserie chicken "Bandera-style."
