“My daughter and I were able to eat gluten free and it was one of the best GF buns and the fries and milk shakes were soo good.“

“If you like dark beer, this is the best brewery in the San Marcos area. Wonderful outdoor seating, limited but acceptable indoor. Although the menu is small, they do everything I've had on it well (the reuben is fabulous).

Their beer is so good I've driven 40+ minutes to pick it up.“

“Today was my first time getting tacos from TMR❤️ I’m absolutely in love!! The best tacos in San Marcos!! 100% recommended☺️ I’ll be coming back for sure and I’ll tell all my friends about this place! It’s well deserved..“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hands down, the absolute best tacos al pastor in San Marcos! I will eventually try everything else, but hard to argue with perfection.“

“I’m from Fort Worth and was looking for some late night food and came to Jax and 10/10 recommended if you’re looking for a good burger spot“

“Middleton is one of my favorite breweries! Andrew and Charlie are the best and the locals are friendly. Dogs are welcome and the taco truck outside is tits! Middleton hosts musical talent like Fowler Friday and other events too. I go here frequently“

“Best pineapple fried rice I've ever had. Tom Kha was excellent too with fresh tomato mixed in just right. Only negative is that it's in a store, but that's what guarantees it is all fresh and all good. And while prices are reasonable, it isn't on the cheap, either--I think you get what you pay for, including great service.“

“Great food fast friendly service“

“My waitress from Boston was excellent and attentive. her name was Tracy B“

“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.“

“Such a cute Asian market! I love that it basically has everything you need for good prices as well. My boyfriend LOVES the ramen there and would get like 7-10 packs of them for around $20 ! Definitely recommend and they have a small Thai restaurant inside. 10/10“

“Alex was our server and expand the menus to us and really enjoyed the food we we’ll return soon Thanks Debby Curcoe“

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

“Highly recommend. Hailey made our visit very pleasant The pretzels seasoned in house & chardonnay dijon mustard, martini, & sangria are AMAZING!“

“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.“

“My husband and I had a very lovely lunch here on Saturday. Our server, Michael, was really good—he anticipated our needs before we asked and was very professional.
With the complimentary chips and salsa we ordered a small side of guacamole. Salsa, chips and guacamole were excellent. The portion of guacamole was generous.
I ordered the chicken mole. It came with beans, rice and choice of tortillas (corn or flour). I thought it was excellent. My only suggestion would be that the chicken breast could have been a bit more tender. However, I would absolutely order it again.
My husband had a variety of enchiladas which he enjoyed very much. His one complaint is that he thought the beef was a bit heavy on the salt.
If you go, DO NOT FORGET TO VISIT THE BAKERY!! It is truly amazing. It’s filled with gorgeous pastries, flan, etc.
The atmosphere is quite a few steps above the average Mexican restaurant. The servers are nicely dressed in black, the decor is upscale and very nice. They have a large dining room but we didn’t feel crowded and it wasn’t overly noisy. The parking lot is small, but they have secured a few lots nearby where you can walk from and that offer shade.
This is now our go-to Mexican restaurant.“

“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!“

“Best diner breakfast in San Marcos. I’ve been coming here for years and I always order the same thing: huevos rancheros. It’s so inherently comforting, I can’t really explain it. Whether the morning after a long night of drinking, or just needing an old reliable pick-me-up, cafe on the square has been there for me through it all! I love the community that exists here and all of the regulars that come back day after day. This is definitely the best hometown diner I’ve ever experienced and you can’t convince me otherwise!“

“I have to say the restaurant was off the chain! The food was superb and extremely reasonable prices.. We need to give a shout out to our waitress Kiley who was Magnificent. She is definitely 5 star restaurant quality. We have been to very upscale restaurants and not had half of the amazing service she provided. When you go ask for Kiley!!“

“Breakfast is good but the enchiladas are not good at all as the carne guisada. I give 3 stars.“

“need an Alvin Ords back in Temple/Belton area sure do miss it“

“This was our first time going here. The hostess was very polite and accommodating. The server was very friendly, and helpful with the menu. My wife had the French Dip. It was amazing. I had the shrimp protein power bowl. It was very flavorfull. We will most definitely eat here again.“

“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.“

“Friendly servers and good food.“

“First time trying chilantro bbq and it was superb! Food was fresh and delicious! We will return.“

“Coffee is amazing service is astounding“

“pizza is incredible & staff is very friendly. can't wait to go back 11/10 stars“

“Burgers, chicken quesadillas, potato skins“

“Enjoyed a nice Italian meal at the Italian Garden. Love that you can bring your own wine. The Chicken Tetrazzini was delish (the one bite I had of Jamie's)“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fruit is SUPER fresh & super cold! On a hot mid summer day.... This hits the spot!!! My family and I will be back FOR SURE. The only thing I would change is the visible presence of the tables or walk up area. It was clean- no doubt.... Just felt uninviting or maybe needs more of a welcome touch.“
