“This place is amazing!!! from the books and trinkets... to the service and the awesome ppl that work here!!!“

“If you're anywhere near San Marcos, do yourself a favor and make the trip to **Roughhouse Brewery** - a true Texas treasure tucked away in the beautiful Hill Country. Locally owned and run by the passionate and welcoming duo, Davy and Alex, this brewery is more than just a place to grab a drink- it's a full-on experience.

Davy pours his heart and soul into the creation of his beer. You can tell with every refreshing sip. The sandwiches are thoughtfully made, flavor-packed that pair perfectly with their brews. It’s the kind of food that feels just rustic enough to match the vibe, but still gourmet enough to impress a serious foodie.

Speaking of vibes - Roughhouse nails it. The setting is stunning, with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you want to kick back and stay awhile - it's pure Texas charm. You’ll feel like you're hanging out at a friend’s ranch (a friend who happens to be a genius at beer and sandwiches).

Roughhouse stands out not just for their top-tier beer and delicious food, but for the heart and authenticity that Davy and Alex bring to every part of the experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 would recommend. This place is a *must-visit* for anyone who loves good beer, good food, and even better people.“

“awesome bar with great street tacos“

“The best restaurant in San Marcos! So happy that it is now 100% gluten free. They should advertise this more. A lot of people with celiac or gluten sensitivity would love it.“

“this place is SO GOOD. the breakfast flat and the banana+nutella croissant are in my dreams sometimes no joke. the drinks are yummy and the food is always fresh and i love that i can feel the love and care put into it! its so cute how the team members draw little hearts on the packaging in the drive through and makes something usually very impersonal feel slightly more personal in a sweet way! my boyfriend and i have been a few times and have been super happy every time! 10/10 food and 10/10 service! ?“

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

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

“the menudo was amazing and served quickly 🖤“

“The place is to Indian cuisine what Tex-Mex is to Indian food, and it ROCKS! Highly recommended. The staff is great and food is delicious. Try the "Notchos". Wowsers!“

“Most important - these Kolaches are made on the premises ! Fresh and yummy. Friendly, helpful staff. So happy I found this jewel.“

“Had a vegan avocado coconut ice cream scoop and it was absolutely delicious“

“This place is awesome. Manny, the owner and bartender, is the coolest, and is very personable with his customers. And there are themed nights! My boyfriend and I love Vinyl Night on Wednesdays. I also attend a Craft Night with a group of ladies there on Vinyl Night. I love getting to share music I enjoy and hear what vinyl others have collected. Def the coolest bar in San Marcos that attracts similar funky folks around town, offering a space to find community and have nice THC seltzers or local craft beers, ciders and meads. The lavender mead is my favorite! You can also bring your own food which is a plus. :)“

“love the chille cheese fries 🤤🧀🍟“

“My husband and I took our daughter today. The moment we walked in we absolutely loved it. It’s so cute! The food was delicious! We had wonderful service. We are definitely coming back. I’d 10000% recommend this place!“

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

“Food was absolutely amazing!!! We see why this is one of the top-rated places to eat in San Marcos!!! We had beef ribs, brisket, and smoked turkey for our meats. There was not one complaint!!! I’m a brisket girl but the smoked turkey won me over!!! The flavor was immaculate and it was juicy! Just be prepared to spend as everything is sold by the pound - not a place I’d recommend on a budget unless you’re grabbing a sammich! Sides were surprisingly good!!! The mac & cheese was amazing and the green beans stole the show!!! Can’t wait to go back!!! 10/10 recommend a visit!!!“

“Found this place looking for a decent burger. They had it covered, a Guinness bacon cheeseburger. It was tasty! Great staff, will be back!“

“I told my kid that I wanted to grab some Chinese food from a place we had not been before. We decided on this place. The menu is slightly confusing. I had ordered Mongolian beef and it comes with crispy noodles. I did see the option where you could get rice, or noodles. I opted for noodles in sauce. I had wondered why my meal was over $20. I also ordered Lemongrass dumplings. They were good, but not sure they were worth the $8 price, not to mention my meal was over $20. The service was amazing when I picked up my food and it was immediately ready to go. The food was fantastic. Other than a bit over priced, it was probably one of the better Asian places I had been to. My did not like his General Tso's Chicken, but overall I was impressed.

I will definitely have to give this place another shot. Now that I know how the menu works, I probably would not go and order another side of noodles, being that my meal comes with it. If you are considering trying this place, I would definitely go. You will not be disappointed.“

“The outdoor seating and ambiance is on point! Come check out 7-10 different restaurants and get alcoholic beverages at the Red Bus! Live music starts in March!“

“My husband and I had lunch. I had the brisket nachos and my husband had 3 meat plate!! Food was delicious.“

“They are so accommodating that Buddy the bartender will even take a bath in your martini. It’s true“
