In short, Cali-style Houston's. Grilled artichokes are bomb. Corn bread is delish but app is overkill. Get a slice for $2. IMO, Macho salad was blah. Go for ribs;) no corkage fees=byob/w/l

Cornbread skillet is a must. The chicken Cobb salad is delish but the white meat chicken was less than prime rotisserie quality (more fast food chicken). Good service. Overall, ok eats for the area.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Very good basic American food, active, ambient lighting, cozy booths, generous drinks and food, and friendly service.

LOVE this place. The cheese dip, grilled artichoke, & skillet of cornbread are AWESOME!! The filet is amazing , cooked to perfect. Great martinis and good wine. 👍❤️❤️

Must have the cornbread! The whole thing is good but the crunchy part on top is the best! Surprise - there's jalapenos inside!

Great spot with the only beef ribs in town. Try the jalapeño bread and good selection of wine.

Whether it's your first time or a regular visit, I'd recommend trying the cornbread. The cornbread is warm, moist, and delicious with the added jalapeno peppers.

One of the best in Newport Beach.....all is beautiful! Best artichoke appetizer!

The fish sandwich is excellent! Ask for the sauce on the side and substitute the slaw for escabeche. Healthy and tastes great!

Bandera has the best service! Ask for Mayara or Trisha. The poke and prime rib are excellent.

The cornbread, the lamb sandwich and the salmon appetizer. Must try.

Go to Bandera and order their cornbread appetizer. It is huge and tastes delicious, with its jalapeno and cheese countering the sweetness perfectly.

Lots of OC cougars. Small yet somehow interesting craft beer selections. Very "American" food...
