25 Best American Restaurants in San Marcos

“Overall experience was good. My daughter and I stopped in after our tour of TXST. The service was great, but the food was a bit on the cold side. It was still good, but I’m sure it would’ve been even better hot. I still would recommend based on the diversity of the menu and the delicious drinks.“

“Really enjoyed our meal there this last Saturday. When I attended college at SWT back in the '80's this was the high end go to place...especially for parent visiting from out of town. Now I am the parent as we visited for a Sigma Chi reunion and to show my HS senior step son the campus. It felt good and JORDAN, our waitress was OUTSTANDING. It felt good being there.“

“We were one of the first group of residents to try Tarbox & Brown with our SPARK group. The atmosphere, the food and service was amazing. Five stars! Congratulations to Chef Chanel! 🍾🥂👩🏻‍🍳“

“It’s a great place! Nice atmosphere, good music playing, delicious migas! Service is great, friendly staff! We’ll be back and recommend the place to family and friends! Thank you for your hard work and keep up the great work!“

“Best food and great friendly atmosphere“

“Opinions differ. I read quite a few good reviews on it, and there were a lot of good things. But let me tell you, we both had the megas. And they were just pretty bland that's partially my fault. I could have asked for hot sauce. That would have helped the miggas, though, really just scrambled eggs. We hardly any shivers of any kind of corn chip or tortilla or anything to add a little crunch and salt. And I mean, that's what migas are all about. Tea great ... beans good .. potatoes bland.. service was very good.. the place was well lit.. and clean.. some TVs.. but if you are large or handicapped.. the chairs were very tight to sit in.. It's probably great 4 most.. but if you use a walker, I would bring it

Parking: We did not ck the back 4 parking.. it is a busy, nice little downtown.. so ck around we may have missed some“

“Recently went to Twin Peaks and had one of the best experiences with my waitress Deasiah. She made sure my family had great understanding of the menu items and suggested some favorites since it was our first time, not only that but she ensured all meals were okay and was very patient with us since we sent back orders to be heated more than once. But overall the food was very tasty but not well heated, I would definitely try it again.“

“We had a delicious brunch on the patio today. We really enjoyed the avocado toast Benedict, which featured a perfectly poached egg. We also really enjoyed the pancake, which was huge! Best of all, they have a dog friendly patio with plenty of shade.“

“I've been to cheddars before but in san antonio. I was excited that san marcos was getting one too. This location is amazing. The vibes are chill and the food is delicious. Had the beer battered fish and shrimp plate... so good! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean as well.“

“Burgers, chicken quesadillas, potato skins“

“The food was Awesome as was the staff. Very informative when trying to place my order. Gil-a-Monster for the win!! And the Mansle Rolls are awesome!!“

“Just ate there today for the first time. I’m from San Antonio and I met friends from Austin there for brunch. Fabulous food. I’m gluten intolerant and there were lots of options on the menu. Yay! Thank y’all so much for those options. I had the Migas and a gluten free pancake. So delicious. Wish you had more locations. We would definitely frequent. Think about opening a restaurant in San Antonio! My friends absolutely loved their food as well. We also got coffee and tea, also wonderful. Would highly recommend. We will definitely return when we are in the area.“

“The baleadas are amazing!!“

“Always great food friendly waitresses and waiters. Love the store. Love the food always a great time.“

“Burgers were very good and the Hat Dog special, how can you go wrong with dollar dogs.“

“We were passing through and noticed this bbq place. Oh my! We are so glad we tried it. Absolutely the best burnt ends and potato salad!“

“Isabella was a fantastic waitress!! She brought a lot of energy to our family today as we celebrated our son’s 21st birthday! Thank you Isabella for the great service, always smiling, and the recommendation on our food order!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ service!“

“It was a lot of fun! The food was good. There were three of us, we all got something different and everything was fantastic. Real good flavor. For me, it was a little loud but my daughter who is 22, loved it. She said this is my kind of joint. Next time for me, it's outside. The food was that good.“

“by far the best chicken fried chickn with queso and Pico I've ever had! I was impressed!“

“This place is a total vibe! The food was delicious and our service was excellent. Definitely coming back.“

“Oct 2024 - found this place on our way back from Fredericksburg just off I-35 and before our Luling cutoff to get back to I-10. They have a wide variety of food options of favorite foods for everyone. The food was good, and portions fit well for a hungry traveler. The decor strikes me as an explosion of TGI Fridays, Benniganis, Fuddruckers, and Chili's all shocked up. There's so many interesting visuals. Tiiger or server did well. One food option we didn't particularly enjoy was the fried mushrooms. Their way uses big mushroom caps stuffed with cream cheese.... not bad, just not to our liking. The wife ended up removing the filling and enjoyed them much more.“

“Hubby and I went for dinner and the environment was very welcoming and so were the staff. Julius was our waiter and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Not only did he make great menu recommendations, he fixed our bill to reflect their Happy Hour half off prices!!! Things to try… Fried Mushrooms - A MUST!!! If you like spicy - the stuffed/fried jalapeños Caesar salad - AMAZING (with fresh pepper) Cajun ribeye - Yummy Fried shrimp - OMGEESH Brussel sprouts - Must try Even the bread with fresh honey butter was great!!! 10/10 will return again and again!!!“

“My husband took me and the patio after my meal almost put me to sleep clean atmosphere and easy going staff like nothing I wanted would be a problem what a view of spring lake“

“We had a graduation celebration dinner for my son back in May and the staff here went above and beyond to make it a very special occasion. The restaurant was unoccupied this night, and the bar area was crowded, so the manager, Derek, put 2 tables together fir our party of 12 and allowed us to order off the restaurant menu instead of the bar menu, which was limited. The food was good, and they were short on ingredients that night, and the service was excellent. The wait staff and bartender staff, Emily A., Theresa, Aliyah, Wisby and Lani, were very friendly and accommodating to our party. I wanted to thank all who made this celebratory dinner a success, and Derek really made it happen. I do recommend this hotel, bar and restaurant.“
