My buddy, who is more like a brother to me than friend, came down to visit for a week while my wife…read morewas in Florida for her annual vacation with her college girlfriends. He is nearly blind and doesn't get out much back in Kansas. I try to take him to different breweries, distilleries, restaurants, and other venues. It is more fun for me when we find a new place neither of us has ever been. Picosos Peanut Company was one of the 22 stops we made during the week. My dad always had a can of these delicious peanuts sitting on his bar. I loved them then. They are still exactly the same. Jim, the buddy who was visiting, was my college roommate and spent many weekends at my parents house drinking at the bar and munching those peanuts. I sent him a few cans for his birthday last year. He wanted to get more at the store, but I told him we were close to the business itself. We stopped in when Gino, a son of the owner, was running both the peanut store and the liquor store nextdoor. He was just as awesome as his mother was when I visited before. They are super friendly people and have a very interesting family history. While telling us interesting tidbits, Gino helped Jim find all the nuts he wanted in bags so that he could carry them through the security check at the airport without worrying about the metal of cans. Since I hadn't had any in a while, I bought four cans to take to my house. The peanuts are hot and spicy. They use the smaller round Spanish peanuts, which I have always thought were crunchier and have more nutty flavor than the regular ones. The actual spice mix that is baked on makes them absolutely perfect for snacking on while drinking a beer. We had a great time talking with Gino. I highly recommend stopping by there. If you do, don't just grab something and go. Take the time to get to know the folks who are working there. You will be charmed by them and want to come back.

Sent it back and figured out that the potatoes and the brussels sprouts were cold so ask him to take them back and just nuke. Instead, they said they were remaking them, which is fine but then they brought my steak out and wanted me to sit there and eat that why my potatoes brussels sprouts were being cooked I like my food altogether I don't know about anyway so ask a manager to remake the whole meal altogether and the steak comes out bloody rare instead of well done didn't ask if it was OK didn't come back and check on us. Absolutely the worst food experience ever poor management. (not good customer service at all) the bartender on their hand was amazing spot on with drinks and great

I'm seeing a bit of a pendulum of reviews, this establishment is either hated or loved with some in…read morebetweens. I loved it, the food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I asked for a soft scramble and that's what I got. The bacon was crispy and the biscuits were soft. Our server was extremely friendly and readily answered our questions and as her time permitted, chatted with us briefly. When we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation (we didn't), but were sat immediately. The establishment is no frills with a very down home vibe that serves delicious food. I feel if you go often enough, they get to know you and will greet you by name and remember your order. Is it perfect? Based on others reviews (some just seemed like whining), probably not. Was my experience perfect? Very much so, from service, to food, to ambiance, I loved it. Would I return? Absolutely. *no pics because I was starving and forgot to snap some shots* This is small town Texas, you know, that thing that is disappearing very fast because everybody is moving here? Expect it to be a bit slow, don't look for instant gratification. Slow down, enjoy your food, and look around a bit.

I kicked things off last Thursday night, At Bandera…read moreBrewery... something wasn't right. I gave their beers a hopeful toast... But it tasted like soap, with a hint of... ghost? First up: Ice Haus Ultra Lite, Which somehow managed to clean my palate... out of spite. It tasted like soap - no exaggeration - Like someone dry-hopped it with hotel sanitation. Then came the Mexican Lager, full of fizz, But the flavor? Honest to God - horse piss. Sharp on the nose, rough on the tongue, A cruel joke in a pint-sized stein slung. Last, the Strawberry Blond - a sweet little pour, That smacked of Runtz candy and lab-made decor. Artificial as a neon tan, More chemistry than strawberry jam. Now look, the staff was nice, the space was fine, The outdoor area? A decent time. But you go to a brewery for beer worth the sip, Not a ghostly, soapy, fruit-flavored trip. I wanted to love it - truly, I tried. But each glass left me a little more fried. Two stars for the effort, the charm, and the crew... But next round? We'll be drinking somewhere new.
