The Kendall Restaurant is part of the iconic Kendall Hotel. It's primarily a steakhouse but they've got lots of great options. We stopped by for lunch...it was GOOD! Service was good too. For lunch we shared the pimento cheese app: Celery, pickles, bacon, crackers, and jalapeños. AMAZING! Lots of other things on the menu I want to try the next time we're in town. If you're in Boerne, eat there! read more

We visited The Kendall on a Wednesday evening with a group of six. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were definitely some misses. We started with the salmon dip, pimento cheese, and fried quail for the table, and all three appetizers were excellent. Everyone really enjoyed them. Four of the six of us ordered steaks, and unfortunately none were cooked to the requested temperature. Considering this is a steakhouse, that was disappointing. The sides are à la carte, and we found the pricing hard to justify. The small serving of portabella mushrooms wasn't worth the $20 price tag, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they had been sitting for a while rather than being made fresh or made to order--not worth $10. The chicken entrée was good, but the standout of the evening was the New Zealand Red Deer Chop. It was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly but quite slow. My Kendall Smash wasn't refilled until we had finished eating and were asking for our checks. For parties of six or more, a 20% gratuity is automatically added (as noted on the menu), but it was placed entirely on one person's check instead of being split among the group, which created an awkward situation. The atmosphere is pleasant. The lighting and acoustics make for a comfortable dining experience, although it's always colder inside than I'd prefer. One small detail that stood out was the used wine glasses being stored along the ledges in the dining room when removed from tables--it felt a little out of place. Overall, I'd give The Kendall another chance. Next time I'd probably request the patio when the weather cools down and order the Red Deer Chop again. read more

My family and I visited this place for Mother's Day brunch as it was highly rated on Yelp. However, it didn't live up to the hype. We had a reservation for 11AM, which was their opening time. They seated us promptly, but our server took an unusual long 15 minutes to arrive at our table and take our drink order. Their breakfast brunch buffet which was not advertised was so disappointing. It consisted of scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and frozen sausage patties which were far inferior to any rinky dinky hotel's complimentary hot breakfast. I've had a much better breakfast at the Drury Inn. The only redeeming feature of the buffet was a very dry pork loin, which was a compete letdown. To make matters worse, we were charged $69 per person for this hot breakfast buffet. Our total bill excluding a tip for four people was $340. I would NEVER return to this restaurant, and I would never recommend it to anyone. read more

Definitely did not have the elegance or service that we were accustomed to when it was Peggy's on the Green, but our meal was good.

I visited this restaurant on a recent trip to Boerne since it was the #1 spot, according to Yelp, despite only 5 reviews. I felt it was taking a risk by coming here, but I knew it was also a famous spot in town with a lot of history. They sat us in the back in a very loud section. It took over 1 hour to bring out the main course and they said/claimed we were stuck behind a wedding party when I questioned the timing. There is no bread here or rolls, just cornbread, which you must purchase so it made the wait even more painful. Our server was nice, quirky and even new, but seemed competent. He was busy serving many other tables during our wait, but we were still wondering "when is our food going to come out?" The food finally came out and was actually very good, thankfully. I was giving the kitchen 15 more minutes at one point and when the entrees did come out, I was only 1 minute away from just paying for my French onion soup and walking out as they took 14 more mins. Both the steak we ordered, which ended up being a massive 16 oz steak with a very nice char flavor, as well as the venison chop were so delicious. It turns out when the check comes, they had charged us for the larger steak on the menu and so I guess that's why the steak seemed so large because it was indeed larger and not what we ordered. I notified the server and he quickly fixed the bill. I didn't bother ordering dessert since I figured it may be another hour. I wasn't in a hurry to leave initially but after sitting there watching other tables come, order their food and leave and new customers coming, then getting their drinks, appetizers and main courses while I'm still sitting there waiting on 2 measley main dishes, it was beyond ridiculous. read more

We came back for their chicken and margaritas, and we definitely weren't disappointed--especially since we had Raul as our server! He was incredibly attentive and so kind. We came on a Sunday night, and it wasn't too busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. My boys ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and I was able to try a bite--it was really good as well. My husband got the NY strip, and that was great too. I love this place! Hey chefs--if you ever need a taste tester, please let me know! read more

Went on a Sunday around 6:30. They were out of Salmon already, which indicates poor planning with such a limited menu. Ordered Halibut. The sauce was good but it was very under seasoned and barely warm. Also ordered $40 crab cakes (2). Not lump crab and certainly not jumbo lump which is what would be expected for $40. Crab looked like it was processed in a blender! Service was good except the Luke warm halibut probably means the waiter was distracted. read more

Absolutely a must try...upscale restaurant in a small town. In the middle of the shopping area. The food was excellent. read more

I came here one afternoon with an engagement party (large group). The bartender was so happy to see us and not annoyed by a large group that just swarmed in. The drinks were very delicious and well-made. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio enjoying the weather. I would definitely come back! read more

I have never been one to leave reviews, but after the lovely experience I had this morning, I simply felt I should. The young lady I spoke with on the phone was just as kind and patient as could be. She answered every one of my questions without making me feel rushed, and her manners were absolutely wonderful -- something you do not always come across these days. I believe her name was Ashtin or perhaps Aspen, though I may not be remembering correctly. Regardless, she was such a delight to speak with and made the entire call pleasant from beginning to end. It is rare to find someone so genuinely warm, professional, and helpful. Whoever she is, I hope she is recognized for her kindness and excellent customer service. Young people like her are truly a blessing. After speaking with her, I am even more excited to come in for Mother's Day brunch with my family. We cannot wait to dine there, and if the service over the phone is any indication, I am sure the experience will be absolutely wonderful. read more

Great food and amazing service. Love the historic look and feel of the grounds. Ambiance is perfect setting. read more

Good food. Perfect hamburger. My only complaint is the preponderance of dishes with hot spicy peppers. A little more variety would be nice rather than every dish having the same jalapeño flavor. read more

The ambiance is better than Peggy's, but not upscale as the restaurant wants to be known as. Food and drinks were very good and the staff was great and very prepared. Enjoyed our visit. read more

Visited last Friday evening and had a very positive experience. The interior is modern yet welcoming, with a good balance of style and comfort read more

Our party of four dined here this evening (5/8/2026) for the first time. We were all delighted by the experience. The food was exceptional. Three of us who had the filet raved it was the best steak we had in a long time. The filet was tender and tasteful. The French onion soup was superb. One of our party who likes brussel sprouts said it was addictive. Our server, Marcy, was attentive, responsive, sociable, and efficient. We look forward to visiting again soon.​ read more

I can't say enough about this newly opened eatery. I'd give it beyond 5 stars if I could. Entering, you are met with an elegant, cozy, & historic Hillcountry interior. Impeccable service, and some of the most delicious food in Boerne in my opinion. The fried quail is a must try. All steaks come with mouthwatering bone-marrow butter that is really tasty. Even the grilled asparagus is exceptional. Someone knows what they are doing with the seasoning of their foods. And their desserts are next level. Don't miss the blueberry cheesecake. Luxuriously rich and decadent; and the perfect size. I'm so thrilled to have this option here in Boerne. They also have a great Bar, and wrap around covered outdoor dining space that is nestled in beautiful mature oaks and Hillcountry ambiance. On our next return we hope to catch their happy hour in the Bar and try their pulled-pork sliders and fried cheese-balls. YUM! read more

First time since "new" restaurant opened. Service very slow. Over an hour from ordering until food arrived. Only three other tables occupied so not overwhelmed with customers. Food was very good. Just make sure you're not in a hurry. read more

Since the change in ownership I was concerned but the food and service was amazing. The best French Onion soup I've ever had. The fish was perfect. read more

We loved our experience! Everything was outstanding - our server, Pamela, was so attentive and helpful.

We loved going to Pegg's on the Green and looked forward to the new restaurant that replaced it. There was a group of us (6 people) and made reservations for lunch at 1130. It took over one hour for us to have someone take our lunch orders, despite there being only 3 tables occupied. When we ordered coffee, it was spilled on the table and the same happened when the water glasses were filled. We had to ask for napkins in order to mop up the mess. Our food was delicious, but the wait was far too long for it to arrive. The same for when we wanted our checks and then for the wait person to collect and then return the credit cards. All in all, we spent over two plus hours there, mostly waiting on service or our server - the restaurant at most had only 4 tables occupied during this whole time, including ours. None of us showed any inclination to return especially since we drove from Spring Branch, Wimberly and San Antonio to meet up. Too bad since the food was good and we enjoyed the ambience. Not a repeat occasion, regretfully, unless we learn of marked improvement. Service is still a major consideration when dining out, as well as food quality. read more
