Bandera Roadhouse Plano

This place is wonderful! Service was very friendly. Our drinks were always full and everyone seemed very cheerful and happy to see us. I had the catfish and my husband had a steak. Both were very good and reasonably priced. $2 margaritas on happy hour is an added bonus, they were very tasty and had good strength. I can’t wait to comeback and try some of their other menu items! If I could give them 10 Stars, I would! Love this place!!!!

Had dinner there yesterday after just hearing about it on Facebook. I've been looking for a good chicken fried steak for a while now, and after the facebook account claimed their steak completely fills the batter (and is quality sirloin, not cheap cube steak) I had to go try it. I fancy myself a bit of a chicken fried steak connisour (if there is such a thing) and I've had chicken fried steak from dozens or different restaurants over the years (probably close to 50 different restaurants). Bandera's was the second best chicken fried steak I've ever had, and by FAR the best in the area (the best was in Waco - a bit of a drive), and it was pretty close. And, true to the words of their Facebook account, the steak really did fill the whole batter, and I've NEVER had that before, so bravo! Besides the steak, the soda was well carbonated, the mashed potatoes were great, and the rice was great. Our waiter was very attentive, and we never ran out of drink (but nor was he there too often). The owner (or manager?) was also on the floor helping out his staff - the mark of someone who cares and wants to provide good service. This place was great. (Don't judge it by the exterior paint job). I don't write reviews often, but after reading all the reviews here before going, I decided if the place was good, I'd write one. It's all five stars except for: two angry trolls who are obviously lying (it was clear that this place is well run, and would not treat anyone that way), and two people giving it 1* because it's not the restaurant it replaced. Everyone who is honest (at the time of my review) has given this place high marks, which it deserves. Side note to owner: please provide a small clipboard to use for signing the receipt. It's hard to sign it on a tablecloth. Summary: This place is (1) well run, (2) has good service, (3) has great food, and (4) GOOD live music (I heard it on my way out - it was on the patio). Don't judge it by the paint job, this place is great, and is a top quality Texas Roadhouse.
