Whether you're looking for live music on a sunny day with a good beer, or a chilly afternoon where your family can tuck in for a yummy meal - this is the place for you. The drink selections are just big enough to keep you coming back and the food hasn't missed yet! Service is quick and friendly, and this is my favorite go to spot when in Boerne! Parking, like you'll find for anywhere else in the area, is either on the street or if you're lucky enough to find an open lot. They do offer a gluten free bun for their sandwiches which is a plus for anyone who needs it. Wine and cider are offered along side the beer selection - I recommend the beer flight to try a bit of everything - and of course kid friendly meals and drinks are offered as well.

Valeria -- undoubtedly the best restaurant in Boerne -- offers a dining experience that marries…read moreItalian-inspired cuisine with a farm-to-table ethos, sourcing many ingredients from its own farm and trusted local partners. Under the guidance of Chef Keith Kuhn, whose international culinary background informs the menu, Valeria delivers a seasonally evolving selection of dishes that emphasize freshness, quality, and flavor. Though the emphasis is on Italian, the menu veers into other cuisines from Europe. From wood-fired pizzas to fresh seafood and house-made desserts, Valeria has earned its reputation as a rare gem in a town bereft of world-class cuisine. Having dined there numerous times, I could write a tome of a review detailing at least a dozen dishes. Alas, Yelp has imposed a draconian 5,000-character limit, so I am forced to limit my review to several standouts. Valeria's housemade bread selections put other restaurants' bread offerings to shame. The selection varies from visit to visit, but expect a generous portion of organic, warm house-baked breads accompanied by unsalted French butter, a ramekin of sea salt, and a selection of briny olives. True to European tradition, I butter each slice of bread and apply a sprinkling of salt to taste. The spicy meat lovers pizza is a triumph of bold flavors. Topped with a robust combination of pepperoni, Italian sausage, fresh jalapeños, Calabrian chilis, a mountain of shredded mozzarella, and a zesty San Marzano tomato sauce, this pizza -- my personal favorite on the menu -- balances heat with depth. The crust, crafted from organic flour, achieves the coveted Neapolitan texture: crisp on the outside, airy within. A smear of San Marzano tomato sauce provides a bright, tangy foundation, while the jalapeños and Calabrian chilis deliver a satisfying kick. The duck confit, easily the best iteration of the dish within 100 miles, exemplifies Valeria's ability to execute rustic European standards with finesse. The Rohan duck leg confit arrives succulent and tender, the meat falling off the bone after hours of slow cooking in its own fat. Paired with duck fat-sautéed potatoes, the dish offers a rich, earthy decadence, complemented by a vibrant red cabbage, beet, and red onion slaw with a dollop of crème fraîche. The interplay of textures -- crisp skin, creamy potatoes, and crunchy slaw -- creates a symphony of contrasts, while the seasoning (a hint of rosemary and thyme) underscores the duck's natural richness. It's a sophisticated yet comforting plate, one that Chef Keith was happy to make for me by special request. Thank you, Chef! The fish and chips reflect Valeria's global influences and commitment to sustainable seafood. Featuring a flaky, wild-caught fish -- haddock, as I recall -- the filets are encased in a light, golden batter that crisps beautifully without becoming greasy. The fries, house-made and twice-cooked for that perfect desiccated crunch, accompany a house-made dill tartar sauce, adding a creamy, tangy counterpoint to the fish's mild sweetness. Sourced from responsibly caught stocks, per Valeria's standards, it's a refined take on a British classic, proving that even familiar comfort food can shine with premium ingredients and careful preparation. The linguine pescatore is a seafood lover's dream, brimming with fresh shellfish and a zesty, robust tomato sauce. The clams, mussels, and shrimp are cooked perfectly (never rubbery), while the linguine arrives al dente. It's a vibrant, rustic plate that had me sweating most gloriously. On one visit, the kitchen inexplicably forgot to include the mussels, an oversight Chef Keith remedied by presenting me with a huge complimentary side dish of the aforementioned bivalves. Serendipity-doo-dah! The warm chocolate sheet cake provides a decadent finale, one that I've savored on many occasions. Served straight from the oven, this cake features a moist, fudgy center with a slightly crisp edge, its deep chocolate flavor derived from high-quality cocoa. Chopped Texas pecans add an extra depth of flavor and texture. It's a comforting yet elegant end to the meal, embodying the restaurant's ethos of quality without pretense, a sweet reminder of why Valeria stands out in Boerne's largely fetid dining landscape. Don't let its unassuming strip mall veneer fool you; this hidden gem offers an intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and a wine list that pairs beautifully with its fare. For those seeking a memorable meal in Boerne, Valeria is the best option by far.

Bankersmith takes advantage of that situation in order to scam people to showing up for their "events." We saw an "All you can eat crawfish festival" on VetTix. Signed up and thought we were lucky enough to get 4 tickets for an all you can eat crawfish festival We drive 2 hours to get there. At the door, we are told our tickets are just good for entrance, but the all you can eat crawfish is 40 dollars per person. However they did give us each a free ticket for a sangria. The was no festival. There was a mediocre one man guitar show, but otherwise this was just a dive bar. Admission for a dive bar? No large pot of crawfish anywhere. Seems they were doing HEB crawfish packs in the back. I went back and forth with the lady doing "admission." She seemed kind of upset she was doing this to people. Said she would upgrade our sangria tickets to beer tickets. Immediately after getting past admission, another vet customer came up and asked, "You thought this was on VetTix for all you can eat too?" I said yes. They said they drove for 2.5 hours. They were kinda pissed to. I mean, we are grateful to get free stuff, but when you drive 2+ hours because you think you are getting a great deal and then find out it's a ticket to get into a dive bar... that kinda sucks. So... we went to the bartender and ordered a couple of drafts. We saw the plastic tank of sangria and the tiny glasses they were handing it out in. Glad we we got upgraded to beer. She handed over the beers and we handed over the tickets and she looked confused. She said, "oh... okay." I asked what was wrong. I said the lady at the front said we could upgrade for beers. She then said, "OH. YOU ARE THOSE PEOPLE" really loudly. Way to make people feel welcome. Was planning to tip bigly for the free beers at least, but not after that. We drank our beers quickly and left. It's been a few weeks. Reported to VetTix. Saw they are still doing "all you can eat" festivals of various kinds. do not recommend. p.s. There is a petting zoo for the kids. A few cute animals. Drawback, the outdoor area smells like poo.

Some aspects of the box were fantastic, like the beautiful salad with fresh fruit and the sushi pieces. I wasn't thrilled with the small, thin chicken pieces. Just white meat the size and thickness of coins. That could've been much better, but I liked it overall. They have a huge menu and I ended up only taking a pic of one page. They're in a strip center and there's lots of parking available. There is no outside seating.

We both had the crawfish poor boys. They were perfectly made. The ambience there was very friendly and sort of noisy. However, this is the kind of restaurant that it is. There's people from all over, talking about this that the other, so you overhear each other's conversations. Again, the food was outstanding and very good.

Converted gas station complete with drive thru window. We walk into the usual almost neon signs and Mexico made dining booths. VAPE SHOP NEXT DOOR! Honestly, I've got to promote the iced tea. Even took one togo. Because, that was what I would recommend out of our dining experience. Chips were akin to stale thinner wheat thins. Worst chips in recent memory. Who cares about all the salsas offered when there isn't a vessel for delivery. She had a Taco Salad and I had the combo plate of SA famous Puffy Taco and Enchilada. BTW, no tomato component on the rice. Carrots and peas. Rice, deplorable. Beans, OK. I asked for a Sour Cream sauce on my enchilada only to get cheese. Filling correct; they opted to just leave the sauce off completely. Didn't even eat half of the food. Never stopping here again.

I've heard a lot of good things about their dinner menu, though! The menu item I chose on this visit was the best I've had there. I got the crab cake on a fried green tomato. It was absolutely delicious! The crab cake didn't have breading, which allowed you to really taste the wonderfully fresh crab. My daughter got the chicken pot pie and she loved it. The crust was house made and the filling was super creamy. The service was very good...we didn't know they close at 2 and reopen at 5 and had arrived at 130. She never shooed us or hurried us and we didn't even realize they were closed (we were tucked into a corner) until she brought us our bill at 3! Huge attaboy for her, but we would have planned on going earlier if we had known.
