How’s this for a place to hang your hat! After a long day on the ranch, herds of hungry locals head to the 1856 Tavern – a treasure trove of tasty homestyle eats in Bandera, TX…aka the Cowboy Capital of the World!
Even if you’re just a rootin’-tootin’ cowboy for the day, if you’ve got the time, we recommend one last summer road trip right here. It’s the kind of town where cowboys are still king – the site of the original trailhead for the Great Western Drive.
You might be surprised at what’s cooking at the Tavern too, named for the year the town was founded. Prime steaks, burgers and Shepherds Pie, sure, but how about Norwegian Salmon, Hand Breaded Calamari or Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes? Unexpected flavors from a fourth generation restauranteur. See ya out on the trail!
