Food 10/10, some of the best food I’ve had … ever. Service was 4/10, the guy was super nice but drinks never filled, hardly ever saw him, had to get his attention when I did see him, he was probably just having an off day.

What a great experience. Calvin was an excellent server (personable and attentive). He gave insightful opinions of the menu and the food was excellent. It was a cold night in San Antonio. We sat outside under the patio and the heat lamps overhead kept us warm. The restaurant also provided blankets to everyone. Nice Touch!

Table side guacamole is to die for. By far our favorite restuarant on the River Walk.

I’m really disappointed with the experience my group had here. We were a large party — a huge one — and I completely understand that things can get missed or messed up. But when that happens, the minimum is to acknowledge it, apologize, and try to make it right. Instead, we were ignored.
We made a reservation well in advance so the restaurant could prepare, but when we arrived there were only two servers for our entire group, and neither seemed friendly or attentive.
The biggest issue was when the meals came out. Every single person at our table received their food except me. Our server saw this — it was obvious that one person was missing a meal — and still walked away without saying a word. No “it’s coming,” no explanation, nothing.
After waiting quite a while, I had to flag down a different server because ours never came back. They checked and said my food would be right out, but it still didn’t show up. I ended up waiting almost 20 minutes after everyone else had already finished eating before our server finally returned and told me my meal was “almost done.” At that point I told him to cancel it. He just said “okay” and walked away — again, with zero apology or accountability.
I wasn’t charged for the entrée I never received, but we weren’t offered any kind of discount despite the situation. The appetizer was delicious, but that was the only positive. To top it off, we were charged extra for “large ice,” which we never asked for.
I did speak with the manager, who apologized and offered his personal card for next time, but the overall service was incredibly disappointing. I understand mistakes happen, especially with a huge party — but own it, communicate, and make it right. Ignoring it and walking away is not acceptable.

Marc was very nice until my husband’s steak came out almost completely raw. We didn’t say anything at first as he was just going to eat it that way…but when the second bite was actually cold, we very kindly and apologetically asked for it to be warmed. Ten minutes later, the steak came back shrunken and well done. Marc basically dropped the plate and walked away. He did not ask if it was better or anything. From that moment on, we were invisible. We had to ask for our bill. We paid $148 for a terrible steak and mediocre salmon. I never -ever- tip badly, but that service was to the point of insulting. Very disappointing. More so than the ill-prepared steak.

Dinner on the Riverwalk is usually good to great, however, Boudro's was exceptional. We got the guacamole and though I do not like that, it was made right the table and I understand it was fabulous. The chips were also fresh and flavorful. The drinks, purp mojitos, were delightful and refreshing, even on a chilly evening. For the main course we both got steaks, she ordered the 8oz filet, well done and I got the 16oz sirloin, medium. Both were cooked just as we wanted and terrific.
The service was timely and cheerful as well. We really enjoyed the experience.

Boudro's is a pretty spot. The cocktails were good. The prime rib was so tough, I sent it back. My mother sent hers back too. The guacamole was good and quite overpriced. The waiter was obtrusive. It's an expensive place and we certainly don't mind paying for good food but having a chatty waiter and tough as a boot steak made for a disappointing visit.

Server was great. The place is louder than I personally would prefer while dining but to each their own. Ordered 2 mojitos from the start and the drinks were weak. Ordered a ribeye (med-well) and it came out cold. Pretty disappointing to say the least.
If you like weak cocktails, a loud atmosphere, and cold steaks then come on down!

This place was nice, but food over rated. The service was great as well as the atmosphere. The guac was ok. Mostly disappointed in the prime rib which was EXTREMELY tough to chew and cut. I didn’t finish it. My kid got grill chicken that was also hard to cut and it was a thin slice. I expected more, due to it being a popular restaurant
