We stopped here on our way back to new Braunfels for a drink and some food. Definitely worth the stop! The cornbread with bacon butter -OMG. You haven't lived if you haven't tried. If you love a gastropub. Craft cocktail bar - egg white cocktails this is your place. All of our drinks were delicious. The tacos and sliders were awesome also. This is our second visit to this place and the quality and service were consistently awesome. Check out Cody's Bistro for the full dining experience from this establishment which is equally as great! Thank you Cody for your hospitality!

Went in on a Friday evening for some seafood and drinks. Only self serve counter service which I can live with, but the food was mediocre and the oysters smelled so bad we had to remove them from the table. Unfortunately that was too late, my son had a couple and paid for it later. Bar staff was surly. I don't mind that so if you just want drinks and a casual hangout I think this place is great.

Went in with some friends for dinner. The food was good, the service was fast and the prices are fantastic. I thought there was an error on my bill it was so low. I have chips and queso, chicken fajita taco, and three large beers... and it was 13$! I will be back for sure. Thanks!

We love this theater. Orders are at your seat very quickly. They really have an efficient system in place. Seats recline and are super comfy. Just make sure to bring a light jacket or blanket. The theaters can be a bit chilly. Great drink specials every night and happy hour!

Figaro's is a great choice of a pizza place for adults, offering excellent crust, a wide range of toppings, delicious sides, appetizers, and salads, and many drink options. Service is outstanding and the atmosphere is upbeat. Prices are modest. Far better than any pizza chain restaurant.

We were looking for a dog-friendly spot in San Marcos and visited the Railyard. We were very pleased with the experience. They have a very good burger and sandwich menu, as well as a robust bar food appetizer menu.The good: Nice outdoor area featuring covered seating and uncovered picnic tables. Great service by attentive staff. Wonderful burgers on sweet buns. Outdoor ping pong, horseshoes and a small bandstand. I liked my âRed and Blueâ burger with âFricklesâ (batter fried sweet pickles). Also: dog friendly!The Bad: nothing really- our dog found a few things in the. Dirt like French fries , etc but we sat in an outdoor area...no complaints.The Railyard lives up to itâs name as the busy San Marcos train tracks are just off the property. We enjoyed watching the trains going by during our meal! I canât wait to go back and explore more of the menu!

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The inside bar area with tables is cool and not overly loud. There are outside areas that allow for people coming off the water. They very strictly enforce parking which is nice for their guests. Large portions of good food. Service was attentive. Nice view of the water and itâs occupants. They donât seem to tolerate poor guest behavior which is nice for everyone that wants a nice peaceful experience.

Went to San Marcos on business and saw this place. What a place. The burger was mighty tasty and my friend had a excellent roast beef sandwich. The beer was ice cold and refreshing. Lots of room. Great service. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. What more could you ask for? This will always be on my radar when I go to San Marcos.

Beer is pretty good and food is a bit more upscale than other area choices. The service is somewhat slow/inattentive and we werenât given utensils without asking and definitely could have used some napkins. Everyone is nice and the ambience is cool. With better more attentive service it could be a solid 4-5. Has a full bar on top of craft beers. Also doesnât have the dive feel other square bars have.

Very close to the campus, it showed with the crowd being made up mostly of college students. Broad selection of different beers. Burger was a nice size and tasty. Fries were over cooked. Service alternated from very good to missing at times. I think they were understaffed.
