Boudros on the Riverwalk - San Antonio (TX)

4 /5 Samruddhi Pai Kakode: We requested a table by the River Walk and were given one, which we appreciated. However, it turned out to be the very last table at the edge of the restaurant, and unfortunately the service experience did not match the otherwise great location and food. After being seated, we sat for about 15 minutes with only menus that were handed to us by the hostess. No server initially came to our table. A server from a nearby table noticed us waiting and kindly checked in, taking our drink and appetizer orders. Shortly after, he informed us that he was not the designated server for our table and that our assigned server would bring the appetizers. We then waited another 15 minutes before the designated server arrived with our appetizers—this was the first interaction we had with him. Toward the end of the meal, we experienced another long wait of about 20 minutes just to receive the check. That said, the food was excellent and truly the highlight of the experience. We ordered the tableside guacamole, coconut shrimp, and the herb-crusted fish fillet—all were delicious and well prepared. Dessert, the crème brûlée, was also very good and ended the meal on a positive note. Overall, the food and River Walk setting are great, but the service—especially communication and attentiveness—needs improvement to match the quality of the cuisine.

5 /5 Allen Aguilo: Wow, this place was amazing! One of the highlights of my San Antonio trip. The location is beautiful, right on the Riverwalk. They had ponchos on the seats for you to wear if you got cold. Our waiter, Drew, was very informative and pleasant and definitely added to the overall experience. The surf and turf was cooked perfectly and I was in love with the frites with fried jalapeños. Definitely would recommend this spot.

5 /5 Emperor Palpatine: The atmosphere going into this restaurant was something else. They had a wait on reservations so we accepted the bar. Which felt more like a private area for couples! It was quiet and well lit enough to see everything around you without it being obnoxious! The staff were attentive and friendly! The food was worth every penny! The quail was perfect! Everything was just right.

5 /5 HK Yang: Boudro’s is a place that exceeds expectations for anyone wanting to experience the atmosphere of the San Antonio Riverwalk to the fullest. With a table overlooking the water, the moment I sat down felt instantly relaxing, and the warm, easygoing ambiance of the restaurant set a pleasant tone from the start. The guacamole tasted remarkably fresh, and the Shrimp & Grits had such depth of flavor that it stood out as the best version of the dish I’ve had so far. The staff were attentive and effortless in their service, creating a consistently comfortable dining experience. It’s an excellent spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch while taking in the lively charm of the Riverwalk. It’s the kind of restaurant I would gladly visit again during a trip.

5 /5 Bonus Mom: Everything about Boudros on the riverwalk is outstanding. We came in for an early dinner and sat outside and people watched while we ate. The service is fantastic, servers are friendly and professional and are quick to give suggestions on the food. We had the fried oysters for an appetizer and hubby had shrimp and grits while I had the mesquite grilled Texas quail. Of course we shared and couldn’t decide which plate was better. We will definitely be back here on our next trip.
