TESTIMONIALS

I'm so glad my family came through town and introduced me to this hidden gem! I love the layout with different levels and an outside patio. Our waitress was excellent, fun and friendly yet on top of everything at every table. You have to try the mountain of onion rings! We split the pile between three people and still had a to-go box full! I ordered the guacamole burger and it was fantastic, messy, but very good. This will now be a regular spot for me in San Marcos!

We hosted a work gathering here. They gave us a separate room with a dedicated server & abbreviated menu with selections we had previously agreed upon. Our server did a wonderful job and the food was perfect. The owner was extremely friendly. Highly recommended this restaurant.

Everything is YES here! Great food with generous proportions, which is important to me. Also, great prices! Nice atmosphere and great service. The view of Old Main is a nice touch!

Great food, great staff. Never been disappointed when I'm there. One the best burgers in town. Huge onion rings to die for.

Best place to eat! Love the outside seating! We had friends come into town for my husband's birthday and they set it all up to help me surprise him. The staff are wonderful there! Food is by far the best. And my favorite is the small bucket of beer. Highly recommended if you want a date night or have friends visiting from out of state!
