Syd G.

Another absolutely amazing breakfast at the Hen's Nest. This has become our tradition every fall when we come to Bandera. The food is made with love and so delicious. The staff is so friendly and warm to everyone. Just wish we lived closer but we will always stop when we are in town. Thank you for such a wonderful breakfast again!!

We really enjoyed the Honey Butter Grilled Cheese & Cheddar Waffles. The best part was the amazing customer service from Micah, who was attentive & funny.

The adult breakfast

The food was delicious and atmosphere was perfect for our early morning breakfast. The background music was very enjoyable with old songs. The owner came and checked on us multiple times making us feel very welcome!

Filled with hens and great decor! Also an AMAZING Boutique attached!

Jalapeño popper and bacon Chaffles

If you're looking for a great breakfast place with friendly folks, hot delicious homemade food and warm and welcoming environment you need look no further than the Hen's Nest. I love the Jalapeño popper or the Anthony. Eggs, bacon, cheese, jalapeño and cream cheese. Their Chaffles are a treat to discover. I also love how much they make you feel like you're eating with family because of the love and warmth they put into serving you. Getting a great breakfast out consistently has become a challenge in recent years so I am so glad the Hens Nest does it right every time!

Wow this is a great place. Friendly staff - was asked numerous times by our waiter as well as awaiter from the other tables if everything was ok? Food was outstanding - eggs bacon sausage Texas toast. Split a side of grits which were amazing. Final touch some house made chocolate! Yummy spot. Even made a Rez two days from now despite rarely eating at the same place twice on a trip!

This was my second time visiting the Hens Nest. My husband and I were originally going to get it to go because we have our 5lb Chihuahua Byrdie with us. When I went in to make an order the gentlemen let me know they do not do to go on the weekend. They were very busy so I understand. I told him we were only doing to go because we had our doggie with us. He said if they are well behaved they can come in. When I told my husband we were both excited and took her little bed with us and put it on one of the chair. It had been a while since I had been there but it seems cozier. Maybe it was the light designs. Quickly people starting asking about Byrdie and our waitress even brought her a treat. We were both very hungry and had some trouble deciding what to get. The eggs are so soft and fluffy and the bacon was crisp and yummy. Everything was delicious. I do wish the waffle was crispier but the flavor of everything was amazing. After our meal we checked out at the little shop next door and I spent so much money on little outfits for Byrdie. Since she is so small even an small usually doesn't fit. I went a little crazy. All in all we had a wonderful time and we can't wait to visit again.

The Duck Eggs were deliciously rich!

We were passing through and saw their good reviews so we popped in. It was so country and cute. Small town feel, very relaxed. It was old school farm to table. We had duck eggs and they were rich and delicious.

This restaurant is located in an odd location behind a motel in Bandera. I got the chicken club…read moresandwich, which I really enjoyed. The Texas toast was fragrant, and the flavours of the sandwich blended very well together. My cousin got the fried catfish platter, which didn't have much of a flavour, but he said that means it's a river catfish. He is a catfish connoisseur and liked it. The jalapeno hush puppies that came with it were excellent. However, the coleslaw had a very odd flavour, and neither of us liked it. It tasted acrid to me. I didn't really like the fries because of the seasoning, but I still had a few. The server initially gave my cousin water instead of the sweet tea that he ordered. They served us our water and sweet tea in mason jars, which looked very nice, but the water was not pleasing to my taste buds as it tasted like unfiltered tap water.

We brought out of town family to Bandera and have always had good food at Bricks, so chose it for…read morelunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had a mushroom swiss burger and onion rings with ranch...so yummy. Cons and the reason for the 3 stars...There weren't any clean tables and the menus were dirty...we saw that there was only one guy seating, getting drinks and serving. I'm guessing he was also the cook, because it took an hour and a half to get our food. Another guy showed up near the end of our meal and was helping take orders. They were obviously short staffed, but I was proud of the guys...they were hustling.
