46 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Marcos

“The food is amazing 🤩 I’m excited to go back and I just had it tonight. The pork is so tender and the steak cooked perfectly. Thanks for a great experience Don’s 🙌🏼“

“We were in town for family weekend and as expected, every place was packed. We ate here and the staff were so courteous and friendly even though they were incredibly busy. The food is absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to visit our bobcat again so we can return!“

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

“Roughhouse Brewing is a lovely venue for private parties, watching concerts, and sitting outside enjoying a drink. Roughhouse serves both locally brewed and national beers, ciders, wine, and alcohol-free beverages. According to the staff, a popular alcohol-free drink is Willie’s Remedy, a THC/CBD seltzer. Food is available for purchase. Our party ordered pretzel bites, nachos with queso, and chicken nuggets. The queso was particularly good. While the drink and food are good, the real attraction is being outside enjoying the Texas Hill Country. Roughhouse Brewing is family friendly with a playground for children and a butterfly garden. I recommend a visit!“

“You definitely gained a customer I highly recommend Flying Dutchman“

“We just had our Jack C. Hays High School 50th Reunion at Ivar's River Pub, Saturday, Oct 4th, 11am-2pm. It was an amazing gathering; the outdoor venue incomparable because of the gem of the San Marcos River view, the drinks and food delicious, the service great, and working with Denele Gunnarson, VP of Ivar's was refreshing. Thank you Denele and Ivar's River Pub for helping make our 50th Reunion so memorable! The 'spirit' of Ivar Gunnarson and his legacy is alive and well on the beautiful banks of the San Marcos River. Gerrel Williams, Chair of the 50th and Marieta Hutchison, 1975 Hays H.S. Class President.“

“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.“

“Their brewed coffee (dark roast) was tasty and inexpensive. And I really like the fact that if you drink it there, you get it in a real mug! Super friendly personnel also!“

“Awesome. Pure awesome!!!!!!“

“For the last three years my friend and I go to Sequin to pick up girls from Texas Girls State. We found this restaurant and have been back each year. The food is incredible and the service is friendly. This year we discussed that eventhough we will both be retired, we will need to volunteer to bring the girls next year just to go to this restaurant. I had ordered spicy lobster dumplins and Tom Young noodle soup. I could not believe how great the soup was. The dumplins were good, but I had to transport the soup home. The next night my husband and I shared the rest of the soup, and my husband could not believe how flavorful the soup was and could we get more. I may have to travel to San Maros just to get more soup.“

“Loved this cafe, very nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The food and coffee were delicious. I strongly recommend Jo’s Cafe. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Great place 10/10 recommend, will go out of my way to go back to this place, brunch was top tier service was top tier“

“The pizza was very good. It's a thinner crust pizza kind of like little caesers pizza, but the ingredients they use is way better.

For example most pizza places I normally dont like sausage pizza, but here the sausage used is quite a bit different and I actually enjoyed it.

Overall great place for pizza and I'll have to go back for more. Though parking is a bit of a pain. It's a small lot with not much room to drive through but I cant hold that against the store too much, just be aware of that when visiting.“

“Wineaux is just getting started, but I've already stopped in several times, as It is an absolute pleasure every time. I've chatted a bunch with Peggy, I've also met Mike and Rutherford, and they're all so knowledgeable and just lovely to be around. Peggy often plays silent films on a screen, as well as lovely music. I love that I'm able to find wine here that I can't find anywhere else, as well as chat and get proper recommendations from actual Sommeliers. It's an absolute pleasure. I'm only hesitant to recommend it because I don't want them to get too crowded for my own selfish reasons, but I also want them to do well here, because they are so wonderful, so I have to highly recommend them. Just leave room for me at the bar, please. ☺️🥂“

“love the chille cheese fries 🤤🧀🍟“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“Todo muy rico y la atención fue la mejor lo Recomiendo 👍🏿“

“Amazing Mexican food. They have large portion sizes and the wait staff are very friendly. Prices are very affordable too. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“The service was PERFECTION! I used to be a server and haven’t seen a manager do a table touch in years! The manager came out to check on us during our meal and the shift leader was out on the floor checking on tables all night! The tables around us were getting pre bussed and the servers were all professional and attentive! Can’t say enough good things! Thanks guys, you’re doing great! 😊“

“We have visited this location annually specifically for a beef rib and it never disappoints. The brisket and smoked chicken are always good. The sides are always good. Restaurant and bathrooms are always clean. In addition, besides good food the young men working the counter are always friendly and go above and beyond. Great staff.“

“Coffee is amazing service is astounding“

“My wife & I love eating here! They are always very friendly, great customer service, the food is delicious!!“

“I’ve been coming here for years , it’s usually a good place depending on who’s working.

Went today and sat in line behind two cars for about 4 mins ,until a car pulled up behind me and the lady looks at me and goes to the other car first so I ended up just pulling up because I was there first and haven’t been helped , they keept apologizing to the other people but not the person that they skipped and then called me rude when I called them out on it. Told me they have to skip car, I’ve been there for 3/4 years everyday , I’ve never have been skipped or told that! Manager was nice about it though, but the lady’s I delt with were very rude.“

“I have eaten here many times and they serve breakfast all day. My favorite is the Migas. Tx Bean & Brew is consistent, in that each time the food has been spot-on. There is ample parking. They have what I would call an Italian-style professional coffee maker. I love their lattes and cappuccinos. I can’t stand lukewarm coffee, so I ordered my cappuccino “Very Hot” and that’s exactly how it came out. Today I ordered a large entree that is called the Texas B & B. It comes with eggs your style, two large pancakes, sausage or bacon, and your choice of hash-brown potatoes or hash-brown sweet potatoes. I got the pancakes with both chocolate chips and pecans…just Wow! I also ordered my bacon crisp, which is how it came out. The ordering process is smooth. Simply go to the counter, order your meal, get a table, and the food comes quickly…and freshly cooked. This is my go-to in San Marcos! A BIG plus, dogs are allowed to join diners at the outdoor seating.“

“We had Walnut shrimp and it was delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. Extremely clean. Wonderful contemporary atmosphere. Fast service. We loved it and look forward to the next time. Great job!!!“

“1st time ever trying, was nothing special. Just hate that the bun doesn’t get heated.“

“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.“

“The best experience I've had at ihop.
Went here late at night 3am-5am during my travels in April.
Good music, and atmosphere sorry I already rated this ihop I just fat fingered and deleted on accident when editing.
The food was delicious.

God bless🙏🏾“
