Budiroe's Restaurant Reviews

Guacamole is excellent! Prime rib sandwich was very good but the fries were way too salty. Overall a fun place!

Why do I love this place? Table side guacamole and Prickly Pear margaritas. Delish!

Had a really good experience. Food and drinks made for a good time.

I went there and I have a service dog. The male waiter there isolated me and my grandparents and told us that we had to "stay out side". I found this very disrespectful and got up and left. So, if you have a service dog I would not suggest this place.

The wait can be long--even with reservation. But it's worth the wait. The wait staff is the best and good with special requests. Shrimp and grits are the best thing here. Quail is also excellent. Come on down and my daughter says "you'll have a blast!"

My favorite restaurant in the world. Real professional wait staff who speak enthusiastically and intelligently about an inspired menu. It has an old world feel and a great wine list.

guacamole prepared tableside was unique and delicious, impaired by stale chips. oyster appetizer was surprisingly good and the duck 3 ways was done perfectly.

Great guacamole made table side with a view of the river

Wish I took pics. Guess I gotta go back.
Real deal cajan cuisine.

Fantastic food, wine, & service. Don't skip the quac; they make it table-side and it's yummy.

Wonderful service and terrific food. Our waiter caught some hidden dairy in my order which I always appreciate (since I really prefer not to get sick). The guacamole for two was fun to watch being made and tasty to boot!

The table side guacamole is WHY I go here. The menu has a more exotic and gourmet fare than typical restaurants on the Riverwalk and it is a cozy little spot. Great for date nights. A few things are a little pricy.

Excellent quail with veggies & mashed potatoes. Service was great as well.

This is closed. I couldn t tell from the talking to the restaurant next door if it s temporary or permanent, but the building looks torn up inside. Unfortunately, the website for Boudro s gives no hint that it s not open.

Everyone at our table was enjoying everything. Staff treated us so kindly. This place has a great atmosphere.

Great food if you are a carnivore. Can be noisy. Very crowded. Long waits. Reservations recommended

Wonderful Guacamole made right (and spicey if you want it) at your table.

Absolutely amazing dinner. Sat outside and it was chilly but they had warm comfy ponchos and toasty heaters. Excellent service. My entree was superb. I had the Duck trio and it was delicious. My husband unfortunately didn't like his steak. He said it was tough. My sister- in-law loved her fish and the appetizers were awesome. We had the oysters and scallops. Highly recommend for a special experience. Be prepared to spend some money but well worth it.

Great spot, amazing steaks.
Good selection of wine.
Following the proper protocol when serving wines to your restaurant's guests is central to enhancing their overall dining experience and can also help your establishment sell more wine. Your staff will also seem more professional, which can help you gain return customers and improve your reputation as a business who knows their wines.
When pouring wine, servers should wrap the bottle in a clean linen napkin to protect it from the warmth of their hands. This isn't essential for serving red wines that aren't chilled, but your guests will probably appreciate the extra effort you're putting forth to ensure the perfect serving conditions for their wine.

went there on a saturday. the service here is attentive. this place has a nice feel to it.

My husband and I had the best time at this restaurant. It was our first time to the Riverwalk and every employee made us feel special and asked what they could do for us. We did the dinner cruise and it was incredible. Great food, amazing service. Jessica was our waitress and did a great job. We will be back.

Excellent food...tableside guacamole....casual & relaxed atmosphere....won't break the bank; right on riverwalk

Love the food and drink here. The staff is very nice. Even when I asked for my drinks to be prepared in a certain way they were accommodating. Going to the Riverwalk, be sure to stop here.

Had dinner here on Christmas Day without reservation. Host told us we have to wait for an hour. So 3 of us walk around the river to kill time. 30 minutes in the walk, we walk back to the restaurant and they happen to have table open for 3 of us on the outside which is great. We ordered the fried oyster for appetizer that is really good. I ordered the flank steak which cook to order, and I love it. My mum ordered the duck three ways,they were out of egg roll that come with the meal, so we have it substituted with French fries, my mum told me the duck was a little burn to her, and my sis ordered the fish with herb, comes out a little fishy. Overall we enjoy our dinner because we got great customer service even though they were really busy on the Christmas night.

Good food
A little tight between outdoor tables

The only better than the food was the service! I'll be back again and and again!!

Every time I've gone to Boudro's I always leave happy! From their Shrimp and Grits to their salmon....love it all. The atmosphere is loud but fun.

It's always crazy-busy, make reservations. Beautiful on the river walk, not to be missed!!!

Had a very good time. Fresh made Guacamole was fantastic. Steak was excellent. Only complaint is that the place is loud, but not enough to ruin our fun.

No we don t said the rude man not even looking up from his book after I politely asked if any tables were available tonight.

Loved the atmosphere, "fine dining"in a fun atmosphere! The food was Excellent! We had a wonderful meal in every regard! Highly recommend

Great drinks. Amazing steaks. A little pricy. Make sure they hear your order right or you'll end up with the $38 center cut. Got a sorry from the waitress.

Fantastic food and service and it was during a conference too!

Loved this restaurant, impeccable food and an even more impeccable location.

Lunch is delicious, dinner seems a little overpriced.

The service here is outstanding. Prices are appropriate. I see why this place has so many good reviews.

Superb restaraunt. Great drinks, fantastic food, and top notch service. Highly recommend

Okay food, but you are really there for the Riverwalk views.

This place was packed and whilst the food was good, the steaks were nothing really special. I would go if you were in the area but I would not personally make a trip here.

Busy Thursday night, the hostess took our details and sent us to the bar/restaurant next door Rio Rio (also an excellent option for drinks) and to come back in a half hour. Came back in 25 minutes and we were in and they crushed. All bases were covered and the experience exceeded expectations. Well done team Boudro!

Must try are the prickly pear Margaritas & table side guacamole. Thanks Klever for a fun night.

This is one of the few places on the Riverwalk locals will eat.

I love eating here. The place has a nice feel to it.

Hands down amazing!!! Great service and great food! Great atmosphere. I love the blankets/ponchos on all outdoor chairs. Highly recommend!

First time and won't be my last! I'll be back! Superb all around!

We stopped by while walking the Riverwalk - we didn t have reservations, but we re seated immediately because it was early. If you re eating here during dinner rush, reservations are highly suggested. We were seated on the patio under the heaters with blankets...very cozy in the cool March evening. We had two house margaritas, the guacamole for two and the Texas Tapas , a mixed plate of sausage, chicken, veggies and corn cake. The guacamole was freshly made at the table and was everything I'd hoped it would be! The tapas were good, but not fantastic. Overall a good experience.

Good food and location. Waited ~1hr for a table on a weeknight but they gave me a time to come back, so we were able to walk around and come back about the time our table was ready. Table service was a little stuffy but the bartender was great. The food was good but this should likely be marked as $$$ instead of $$ as most entrees are mid to high $20s.

We were told to get the tableside guacamole and the prickly pear margaritas. Neither disappointed. Both were fabulous.

Upon entering the decor is very nice and they have indoor or outside option .I wanted to try one of their frozen prickly pear margaritas and it was awesome . Very hard decision for dinner as everything in menu looked great but went with the wood grilled grouper and garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned veggies . Everyone at our table agreed that it was phenomenal ! The best drink and dinner that I've had in a while . We returned the very next day for lunch ... Enough said .

One of my favorite places to visit in San Antonio. Make a reservation because this place usually has a wait, but it's with it and more.

Amazing food and drinks. Expensive, but you get what you pay for

Food was exceptional and full of flavor. I only ate two appetizers duck rolls and 3 piece tapas bit I would highly recommend. Can't go wrong and lots to choose from on the menu.

Loved it. Excellent food, reputation and rankings by others confirmed tonight. Highly recommend.

I've never rated a restaurant, but my dinner here over the weekend was awesome! The food was amazing, the drinks were tasty and the service was exceptional...If you want an awesome dinner on the River Walk go to Boudro's

You HAVE TO try the scallops!! We've never had them any sweeter or flavorful!! Great service and seating right on the water with a breeze!

My wife & I enjoyed the food. Service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will be back.

This is the worst place we waited for an 1hr for a table and when we,got finally seated the server took 20 min to great us definitely not a good place also the wait staff is rude and the management

They served me my raw dinner, I returned the plate and it took 15 more minutes to bring it, I practically waited like half an hour to have dinner. unfortunately I did not want to go back

Excellent table made guac!
Seafood mix platter excellent

Definitely set a reservation! That being said, OMG. We came here for mine and my husbands 5 year Anniversary dinner, and we were not disappointed. We actually dined on their river barge on the rio. It was pricy, but fair for the atmosphere, service, and the quality of food. We had a blast- and it was so romantic!! So glad we chose to eat here our first night in San Antonio.

A table near the river, a heater over the table, a serape draped over the legs, a prickly pear margarita, prime rib/crusted fish, and the evening holiday lighting of the river. Hard to find anything better on the riverwalk.

Awesome food and great atmosphere! Sit outside if the weather permits!

Guacamole was yummy, but a very small portion for $11. Quail was also good, but not as amazing as I was told. The sides - veggies, potatoes, etc sere very bland and not cooked well... overall an above average meal, but not for prices charged.
The ambiance was nice on the river... VERY crowded and lots of people walking by. Not a quiet night out spot!
I probably won't be going back, but it was an alright dinner.

Always great food. Our waiter was the best we ever had!

Food and service was excellent. Our waiter was Raul and he did a great job suggesting items on the menu. Very friendly, easy to communicate with, and funny. I had the shrimp and grits, my wife had blackened prime steak and both were phenomenal. Highly recommended!

The guacamole was excellent. The food was great. The staff was fun and attentive. Really enjoyed dining outside on the riverwalk. Would recommend. We didn't have the steaks, but the shrimp and crab enchiladas were very good. We went on 7/3/12.

Fantastic guacamole - definitely order it if you go here. Great service, great food as well

My favorite place on the Riverwalk! Maybe even the whole city... Perfect place for a date night or just some great food. Be ready to pay a little more per plate, but also be prepared to experience some amazing tastes and flavors. I've been here just a handful of times and this place never disappoints.
The fish is always flakey and beautiful. The steak has always been above par and the atmosphere + people watching just makes this place so unique and wonderful. I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting San Antonio or living here looking for a nice dining experience that you can take slow and not feel rushed.
Tip: make a reservation at least day in advance to get seating inside or be prepared to sit outside in the Texas humidity. Still worth it!

Outstanding service. You must get the guacamole. Made fresh at your table. Prime rib, delicious. Filet and lobster tail, delicious.

I must say that Boudro's is my personal favorite on the Riverwalk. The food is delicious and fresh. The atmosphere is intimate, even on the patio seating. Great people watching, while waiting for your meal. Try the tableside fresh served guacamole. Worth a repeat visit.

Get the guacamole, that was the best part of the restaurant, it was recommended and an excellent recommendation at that. They make it in front of you and it was delicious and fun to watch. If I were to go back I'd just order guac.

Otherwise, we wanted to sit outside but the shade coverage is poor, so inside we went. Then, despite us being one of maybe three groups seated, no one came to us for even a drink order for at least 10 minutes. The food (other than the guacamole) was okay, but not worth the price, but then again, high prices need to be expected along the river walk so perhaps that makes up for it.
Ambiance was interesting, feels almost fancy on the inside but with "antique" styled mirrors on the walls, definitely an interesting vibe.

Excellent choice on the riverwalk. Nice menu if you are not looking for TexMex.

My favorite place on the riverwalk for prickley pear margaritas and a blue crab tostada!

Stopped in for lunch by "accident" ....and came back on purpose for dinner and brought friends! Best Guacamole I have EVER had and am so excited they shard the recipe online. The center cut tenderloin was fantastic!

The waitress we had was not friendly. The food was just okay. Draft beer was good. The cosmo was not bad.

I really didn't enjoy my meal. The food was expensive by normal standards. (average for the Riverwalk). The service was just OK. My waiter confused me with someone else at my table multiple times, which would usually not be a big deal except that I have (and told him) severe food allergies.

The food was great! The quail was amazing, and the grits were different then I've had before and definitely worth it!

Filet and lobster were delicious and fresh, same with all the grilled vegetables. Cocktail shrimp was presented okay but still partially frozen. Nice location on the riverwalk slightly too cold outside but perfect under heater.

Fantastic service and high quality food! You must try the tableside guacamole. It's the best I've ever had. Beautiful riverfront table ambiance.
