Came in for lunch with parents. Wasn’t very busy. Long waits, but good food. Very nice staff. Good for a long lunch while talking or doing something else, more “family restaurant,” less fast food.The hours on here need to be updated. Has WiFi, but most of the staff don’t know the password. The person I asked asked someone else though, got it pretty quickly.They didn’t have the black bean burger, ordered by one of parents, in stock that was on the menu, but that was fine and got addressed fairly promptly. They played country music that wasn’t really to my taste (I don’t really enjoy country music besides maybe NBuna), but I think my parents enjoyed it.The server was very nice, but kinda overstretched once more people came in. Of course they didn’t have many staff on Thursday afternoon, around lunchtime. If it’s too busy, it might be good to avoid for the time being unless they hire more people. That’s fine though, just as long as that’s what you’re prepared for.Prices are medium, definitely more of a place to go when you don’t care about it taking a while, rather than a place to just have food like Maccas or such. Either a place that will be enjoyable or won’t be, doesn’t seem like something for everyone. Kinda the essence of a small town restaurant, in both good and bad ways.Good cheese steak fries (pico was good but didn’t really fit the dish), good brussel sprouts (very garlicy or not), good mushroom smashburger (cheese crisp on it, I think they might’ve forgotten some veggies on it though). Food is good, but with lots of mistakes. That’s really not the appeal of the place though, the vibe is for people who want a countryside restaurant vibes, and it wasn’t anything that posed a health risk (meat cooked nicely)

Vegetarian options: Barely any vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: Not a lot of choice for dietary restrictions, but there’s chicken, shrimp, and steak. Pretty bad for vegan and vegetarian options. The black bean burger wasn’t available when I ate here

Parking: Lots of parking nearby and within walking distance.

For the price, I paid for my New York strip. I expected a little more meat and a lot less gristle and fat. An alfredo does not come with mac and cheese

Food and service were really good. Portions were perfect for us.

Nice atmosphere and interesting menu. I ordered the ribeye steak medium rare. The steak I received was more medium than medium rare but was tasty. The problem was it was only 3/4 inch thick and is harder to cook properly. For the price I felt I should get a thicker cut.

Steak and burgers had no seasoning but were cooked perfectly. Small tavern atmosphere and outdoor patio will be nice in warmer weather.

Don't do it. This place has a long way to go on food prep and more training for the staff. We hoped for the best with a new place, but appetizers ice cold, meat overcooked and not good quality, hot fries came after the check was delivered, etc. Very nice people, but seemed like everyone was new to rest. biz. Hope it gets better or it won't survive.

Banderas did not disappoint. Service was exceptional. We got the filet. It was seasoned perfectly. The sides were as they should be. As for price I don't mind paying for a good meal. I felt like I got off cheap when the bill came. 3 filet dinners for $100. I'll be back next week.

Good was good. The place was small. My waitress spent more time socializing than waiting on customers.

My husband and I went and had dinner here tonight. My husband got The Wild West Burger, it was OK but not great. It didn’t have any caramelized onions on it but our waitress, Shay - I believe, went and got some for him. He also had the brussel sprouts instead of fries which he really liked! I had the grilled salmon with the honey bourbon glaze with a baked potato and side salad with 1000 Island dressing and Texas toast. Mine was really good but didn’t have enough glaze (I didn’t think any at first) however Shay went and got some more for me so that was good. We had sweet tea and half and half tea which wasn’t sweet at all but they immediately took care of that and all drinks after were spot on. We ended with an Oreo mousse which was ok but could have been better with some crushed up Oreos in it. We waited awhile to be seated which is to be expected on a Friday evening however the spring in the door needs adjusting as it kept slamming as people were going in and out and the wall was shaking where we were standing- maybe check it out. They have just opened recently but all in all it was a really good evening and we enjoyed our date night!
