- Bandera is a town straight out of the Wild West, and for good reason -- it is the "Cowboy Capital of the World." Mosey on down to this town in the Southern Hill Country for all the fun, food and horsin' around you can fit in a ten-gallon hat.
Find all your Wild West needs at this historic store, from a new pair of boots and belts to souvenirs and jams. Put a cherry on top of an already sweet day trip by ordering a milkshake at the old-fashioned soda fountain!
Take a walk on the weird side of town at this museum started by J Marvin Hunter with all the mementos and donations he received from folks during his time as owner of the “Frontier Times,” a popular magazine in the early 1900s. You’ll find everything from family photos to antique guns. The museum also features oddities like a mummified squirrel and two-headed goat.
While you’re in town, stop by one of the oldest Polish churches in Texas that was built in 1876 to see the amazing artworks inside that rival those of the Painted Churches.
For 50 years, this honky-tonk underneath the Bandera General Store has been the place to end a day in Bandera. Enjoy a cold beer and watch musicians play from the same stage that’s hosted country greats like Hank Williams, Jr.
Head on a wild safari in the middle of this cowboy town at the Bandera Natural History Museum! Wander through rooms packed with full-bodied mounts of exotic animals all posed in their natural habitats and all donated from one man’s private collection. And the craziest part? Each area has its own smell!
Giddy up to the bar (and sit on actual saddles) at this classic Texas joint for a massive chicken fried steak that’s as thick as it is wide, and aptly named “The Duke.” Be sure to check out the “John Wayne” room and pile your plate high at the covered-wagon salad bar!
This spot doesn’t always have food, but when they do it’s grilled up on a Texas-sized pit! Join the community at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar for “Steak Night” and bring your own meat to throw on the grill. For a couple bucks, you can get all the fixin’s for a steak dinner!
Saddle up a trusty steed at Juniper Hill Stables and horseback ride through the Hill Country State Natural Area next door. This 5000-acre working cattle ranch that’s open to the public has awesome relics of ranching days past and incredible Hill Country views.
Not too far from Main Street, the Medina River winds its way through Bandera City Park and there’s no better place to cool off in the summer heat. The water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom when you’re standing on the banks of the river!

Moving to Bandera! Already own 4 acres in Bridlegate and the home is being built this fall
Bandera is the best. The gun fight scene is hilarious
Makes me happy whenever I find a video about my hometown 🥰
Chicken fried steak at the OST is legit some of the best I've had.... did a Bandera/Lost Maples/Garner SP/Hill Country Natural Area roadtrip last January.
Last time I went there I had the chicken fried steak and got sick 😂
Dang. I live near Bandera. I could've met you. :( You could've arranged a meet and greet. I even know one of the store owners you could have had it at!
RIP. My sister Michelle 💗. Too many drugs in and out from Bandera,Tx to Waco, Killeen , Dallas and Houston Tx in the 90's. But it was fun 😊
Ive been to bandera probably 50 or more times and its awesome. The chupacabra meat market is the best . OST chicken fried steak takes me back to when you could go in any cafe in Texas and they would have one on the menu . If you want to vacation there stay at Als Hideaway in pipe creek , just down the road. Say hi to Gordon, Jennifer and Memaw for me .
11th Street Cowboy Bar. Been a few years but we visited there. Not on Wednesday unfortunately. Tie rail, for horses, out front had quite a few Harley's but also some real horses also. Loved it.
The 11th street bar is a great place. You will find both 4 legged an steel horses out front
Great video! I wish you could have been in and around Bandera in the 60's and 70's...good times. My family has property over to Utopia so we were always in Bandera. Purple Cow Saloon, Cabaret, OST at 2 in the morning lol. It was a good place to grow up. Zeke's Hamburgers, owned by a Baptist Minister. Great burgers but no beer.
Haven't been there in a long time and overdue. Some of the family had a hotel/and Purple Cow for a time back in the day. Before the fire of course.
When I was a kid in the 80s there was a Whataburger in a mall in Forth Worth that had an entire section of saddles instead of seats
I 💜 Bandera! Mardi Gras is awesome there. Arkey's is one of my favorite places. I recognized a few faces in the video.
My oldest brother lived in Medina so once in a while we'd go the the big city of Bandera. Been coming here for almost 70 years. Every summer we have a family reunion at Haggard park where we'd have musicians come and play. Can't wait till this summer.
i miss my town😢 waking up in the morning hung over then grabbing tacos or the best 2 star China Bowl for dinner.
Hey and also if you come back make sure you go to the trail boss it is GOOD trust me
Thanks so much for this video
This is extremely informative and entertaining
Moving from bandera next summer, gonna miss this town
Yooo bro thanks for coming out I’ve been living here for around 5 years it’s fun and cool here
A great video.
Excellent video 🙋♀️tx
Got placed in Pipe Creek, Bandera for my exchange year 2019/2020 but somehow I missed out on a lot of the history of the town. Wish to go back there!
If I'd known you were gonna be in Bandera I would've loved to have shown you around
I don’t know about sitting on a saddle but I do know that chicken fried steak looked glorious!
🍻
Awesome
🤠
I was there Twice in early 1990s an don’t remember it being that big then. The biggest attraction then was the Rodeo grounds an a bar I don’t recall the name of…but it was nice ! And oh yes ..definitely horse country !
Been there three times. Twice from Illinois and once from Florida. Part of my Gruene Hall trips. Cool town. There's a Robert Mitcham movie where he a rodeo guy in Bandera. Comical video.
Trust me, they hate outsiders in Bandera. When they’re not being openly hostile to people, they’re making fun of them. I’ve seen them do it A LOT.
good for them,, keep TEXAS RED
Where'd you get that awesome vest?
Bricks River Cafe was delicious and what I love about Bandera is mostly the hometown people they understand what they have there and treat u right!!
yum yum chicken fried steak....n gravy!!
Hope you picked you up a real straw cowboy hat while there 👍
Cowboys just callem hats .....
I was coming from west to rhe RGV and looking for ab alternative not to get thru SA rraffic, and stumble with this beutiful town fall in love immediately, and couldn't remeber the name, until some time later thanks to a texas backroads group in Facebook I described it and somebody mentioned it, I took a friend while doing hotshots, he fell in love with it as well, but its quite hard to get thru with a 40 footer behind your truck, so we haven't actuslly explored it yet
Yeah. A 40 footer isn't small town friendly.
Ozona Texas please!
Hey Chet, love the series. Where is your home base? In or around Austin?
Georgetown
good,, Never Austin, commie land
@@hifistuded
Stephenville calls itself the Cowboy Capital.
Whatever happened to the women with the horseback rides into Hill Country State Natural Area? Her accent sounds like she is from somewhere up North - definitely not a Texas accent. I asked around and found out she was at the 1077 Dude Ranch. When I asked about horseback rides at the 1077 Ranch, they told me that the new owner of the 1077 Ranch told the woman that her horseback riding services were no longer welcome, and she had to remove her horses and herself from the premises. I wonder what happened. The woman lost her residence and horseback riding business all in one fell swoop 😱
Bandera's a beautiful little town just outside of San Antonio people out there real friendly and it's a nice place to stay overnight at the dude ranch or hotel down there and will you tell please have a bar called Blue Jeans you know years ago I'm not sure if it's still called blue jeans and me every name did but that's where everybody went to go play poker and stuff
Dude please get a real Cowboy hat...
Cowboys call it a hat.....🤭
A W E S O M E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tjs at the old forge has delicious food, but they take forevvvvvveeerrrr. They even have a sign that says “ it’s good food, not fast food” but seriously anything more than about 5 full tables, you’ll wait 30-45 mins for your meal. Super annoying.
