The freshly made guacamole will change your life!!! Main entree was the ribeye . They nailed it. We dined by the rivers edge on warm winter day. It's like a Texan style Venice with water taxis .

Psychic Ann Ross

Boudros is Amazing and they have the best Prime Rib and Ribeye , comes out very tender and well seasoned with Potatoes and Vegebles, Great staff . Romantic Surroundings outside for a date night !

Brittany Highland

Love this spot for appetizers or dessert ! Tableside guacamole , prickly pear margarita , lime chess pie ! And of course, sit outside by the water!

Mark B

Great food. Nice setting on the Riverwalk if you can get a table outside . Try the Ribeye steak sandwich , delicious! Prickly Pear Margarita is tasty on a warm day. Great service.

Ron Jeramiah

Cool setting on the Riverwalk serving up good eats. Table Side Guacamole is awesome! Steaks and seafood are on point all in a nice setting.

Joshua Van Dyk

Good atmosphere, attentive staff and a beautiful setting on the river walk. There are a lot of healthy options on the menu. The food was good but not amazing.

Genna Speed

The guacamole , crab tostada , chicken enchiladas verdes , and ribeye sandwich were SOOOO good. Definitely worth the visit for lunch ! (And another visit in the future)

Nico Parker

This place is expensive , but everything about it is great. The food is awesome (get the guacamole ), the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is excellent.

Mary P

Nice location, our server was terrific, and the food was all really good. We all wanted to try the quail , so we split 2 app orders-and it was good!

Ann Ross

Boudro's is Amazing and they are well known for their Prime Rib , comes out very tender and we'll seasoned with potatoes and Vegies , Great staff . Romantic surroundings .

Zac N

Sometimes too hot sometimes too cold to sit outside but when its nice is just perfect best view on the Riverwalk and easily the best food as well

Abrazo Adoption

Before placement, be sure to enjoy the very best Riverwalk restaurant , where city poobahs entertain VIPs who come to our fair city . Don't miss the black & white soup , and guacamole made tableside!

Jose Colucci

Great place right on the Riverwalk. Charles the waiter treated us very well . And was very attentive even with my 9 year old son. Food was great too.

Clay Chastain

Probably the best place on the entire river walk. The best food that is completely unique to the city . Eat here and you will be happy. Try the duck !

Lorien Schoelkopf

Homemade guac tableside was the best I've ever had. Homemade dressings also phenomenal. Still can't get over that guac !!

Camila Cahh

That's experience is gorgeous, you take a table on the edge of the river , the guacamole is prepared front you, with the best ingredients

JenKudu

I eat a lot of Guac ... This was my least fave I think I've ever had. Soupy texture, I Prefer lime over orange juice and had a smokey flavor . Also skip the prickly pear margarita . Pretty but watery.

Rayshawn Williams

The Blackened prime rib is one of the best I've tasted.

Lorenz Lammens

Highly recommend the fillet with chimichurri sauce . If that sounds strange, I assure you it binds the fried jalapeños , plantains and vegetables to perfection. Every dish our party had was excellent.

Dana Villmore

Best guacamole I've ever had!!! Highly recommend the crab tostado as well . Best meal I've had in a long time! :D

Darrius Taylor

Ribeye and Texas Tapas are phenomenal. Best I've ever had the pleasure of consuming.

Eva Gascue

Best restaurant on boardwalk! Don't get distracted by the Carlos and Charlie's type restaurant next door. Keep walking! And order the blue crab tostada as an appetizer ! So delicious!

Terrence Wheeler

Food is amazing..hot the seafood plater and I'm not disappointed excellent food!

Megan R

Had the prickly pear margarita with the surf and turf . Excellent! Great ambiance, service, and food. Highly recommend.

Rayshawn Williams

I'm usually more into peach cobbler rather than berry but this one is pretty good and worth giving a try.

Kirsty Nightingale

Excellent food/drinks & service, only niggle is that the tables are very small so our wine & other bits had to sit either on the floor or the shelf behind us.

Eva Gascue

Best restaurant on boardwalk! Don't get distracted by the Carlos and Charlie's type restaurant next door. Keep walking! And order the blue crap tostada as an appetizer ! So delicious!

Eddie Lorenzo

The seafood enchiladas are amazing. The table side guacamole is a great starter.

Elisa Castillo

Everything is great: the service, the food, the ambiance!!! Will definately recommend this restaurant and come back!

Luciana Misura

Best restaurant on the Riverwalk by far. Guacamole is a must for those who like it. Make a reservation or you will wait for a long time. Great kid's menu too.

Kevin Ralofsky

Great food. Excellent service . Gary the manager gets a bad rap but he really is a great guy! Puts his team first and only wants the best for his patrons! LONG LIVE GARY!

Teresa Colson

My favorite & I've been traveling here for over several years. Great guacamole , shrimp & grits & prickley pear

Suzi Clarke

Highly recommend the guac for two, prime rib special, seafood platter , and prickly pear Margherita

Chris Jennings

Yes the Guacamole is very good, my only suggestion is that if you like a little spiciness , you need to request it while they are mix it up. The server said that they don't spice it up unless requested

Jim Vaughan

Sea cakes and quail were outstanding. Friend had best prime rib he ever had. Do not miss!

Steven Stutts

Get the table guacamole with a little spice. It was so good, we asked for a second round.

Ken Snider

Properly seared scallops on both sides. Great flavour!

Robert Garza

Try their "Guacamole for Two" (made table side) and their Texas Dry Beefeater Martini . All of their dinner selection are very good and if you stuff yourself (and you will want to) try the Trio of Sor Read more

ChangIn Lee

Blackened Prime Rib is so nice! Recommend!!

MJ Chatterton

Pricey so be prepared but totally worth the wait and the $$ - very friendly staff will help you decide what to eat !

kiran Reddy

Prickly pear margarita is the best. Just 8$ for a great drink. Try Mild Gucamole, it is the best. chicken is great.

This “Texas bistro ” has great steaks , blackened shrimp and more, but don’t miss the guacamole made fresh tableside. Read more

Karen Franklin

The homemade guacamole is very nice! The salmon and spinach salad was good. The chicken lunch special was a good combination.

Deepak Padmanabhan

Try the guacamole for 2, chicken breast chop and shrimp & grits !

Lorenz Lammens

Highly recommend the fillet with chimichurri sauce . If that sounds strange, I assure you it binds the fried jalapeños , plantains Amongst the sea of mediocre chains, this place truly shines!

Alan S

Brownie was real good. Very shareable.

Chris Smith

"Guacamole for two" is not a lie. Sit outside if you can. The service was great, and the price is just above average. Great food & service make it worth it.

Donald Moore

Go to Boudro's and order anything. Their food is good. BUT be SURE to order the guacamole ! It's not what you usually think of as guacamole . It's chunky, and has a flavor snappier than any I've ever ta

Steven Jung

Lots of hype around this place. Hard to get a dunner reservation without advance planning. Ate the quail . Solid 6. Duck gumbo was pretty good. I give it a 7.

Florian Combremont

Take the blackened fish , delicious and healthy! (the fish of the day was mahi ).
