    I called this establishment very last minute to get reservations, they had availability within 30 minutes for a table of 7 even though they were packed. From the second we arrived, every member of staff from the host to wait-staff to management were very gracious and accommodating. Service was prompt, and they kept our drinks filled with very little delay, especially considering the volume of patrons. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and clean, the only negative thing I could consider is the weird little table lights. Our table mainly ordered the ribeye which was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the open fire cooking method with the hints of mesquite. It took me back to my youth and cooking on open fire on our lease in deep west Texas, only seasoned better and with all the fixings. We ultimately choose this venue when we realized they weren't some bigger chain that had multiple locations. I would definitely return to try more menu items.

    Surprised find based off a recommendation from a worker at another restaurant that was totally booked. Exceptional service, great view, clean atmosphere, and excellent food. We were told to get the table side guacamole, which was amazing. Our meals were amazing, as recommended, and we had no complaints about how meat was cooked / served. We didn’t have a reservation but we got there around 4:30 and ended around 6:15

    This restaurant is the place to go. Our food was delicious and perfect with every bite. You need to get the prickly pear margarita. Our waitress Sarah was outstanding, she explained the menu and let us know what her recommendation was. All I can say is enjoyed Sarah professional and excellent service and will return anytime.

    Great experience while at the Riverwalk. We were debating where to eat since it is touristy but Boudro’s did not disappoint. We shared the tableside guac, and then split the shrimp and grits as well as the blackened fish. There were very generous portions but we enjoyed it all. Definitely a nice spot to check out!
