After hearing rave reviews about this restaurant we decided to give it a try. I was pleased with the cornbread but the Chicken dinner with mashed Potatoes was a bit of a dissapointment at $16 - You get 1/2 of a tiny chicken, I don't think that I ever seen one that small. My wife was also disappointed in her... more

chicken is a speciality, but the spit roaster is hidden from customers. the food was good without being extra special. it was reasonable, though not cheap.a nice place to eat, but not memorable more

This was our second visit and we were extremely pleased . We were dining with our family of 5, including 3 kids (ages 7-14). The service staff goes out of their way to be helpful. Macho salad was huge and had everything from avocado to dates. Roast chicken is the best in town and the ribs fall off the bone.... more

The atmosphere is fine and the service was fine but the food was not as great as expected. Not sure if we did not care for the... more

One of us ordered the meatball and mushroom dish, and the restaurant was out of it. Other than that, it was a positive experience. We opted for sandwiches, one fish, one chicken, and both were good to excellent. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were very good. Portions were ample. Bananna dessert, too, was enjoyed. Night fare runs from the sandwiches in... more

Great rotisserie chicken, outstanding mashed potatoes. Busy atmosphere, a happening place. Whenever I have a red-eye out of Phoenix, I always drive to Scottsdale to go to Bandera. Besides nice tables and friendly service, they serve nicely at the bar--nice table cloth so as party on one I feel comfortable. Usually I stop at the Phoenix Botanical Garden first to... more

During our recent visit to Scottsdale we stopped in at Bandera for dinner and were really glad we did. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we went back the next day! While walking in Old Town Scottsdale we happened to pass the side of the restaurant where through the window we could see chicken roasting on a spit with... more
