    Dip Trio
    Shelby H.

    The food was amazing and served quickly, it was a bit loud for a good conversation but the food and service makes up for it. You get sat quickly and the food came out much sooner than expected. The dip trip we get every time as you see we devoted it before remembering to get a picture which just proves the value of it. The salsa unlike normally was very watery which it has never been before but it was the only thing I was disappointed in. Overall the server was great and great speed always helps.

    Payed almost $20 for a 6oz sirloin, rice, and black beans. They only filled the rice bowl halfway and the sirloin was tiny, it was actually 4oz instead of 6.

    Niece wanted Chili's for her birthday dinner so we gave her Chili's! We were seated right away but the table hadn't been wiped down so we changed tables. The chairs were sticky at that table but we just rolled with it. Niece order the kids chicken critter meal, Mom ordered steak, hubby and I both had the chicken critters and fries but he asked for his to be dipped in the Nashville sauce. I had my sauce on the side. When the food came out they brought the wrong kids meal and didn't dip my husband Chicken critters. They did get my Mom's and my order correct. They brought Hera chocolate molten cake for her birthday desert. Overall she was a happy 5 year old!

    This was the first time at this location and had a great visit. We were sat in the corner away from everyone. Our server PRESTON was fabulous! You can tell they are understaffed and he was working a lot of tables in his section. He did a great job and most of all had the best positive attitude! Everything was delicious from beginning to start. I had a coupon for a free queso, so we started off with that. I love their chips and salsa. So much flavoring in them. Our meals were both piping hot and tasted fresh! Everything was accurate made. We were celebrating my birthday and we got a mini molten cake. It was the perfect size, since we were stuffed with all the foods we ate! Great food and customer service from Preston! We will definitely be back and ask for him again!

    Really good service. Waiter was friendly and our drink glasses were never empty. Really, really bad food. Cold and flavorless.

I wasn't told about this establishment, rather I happened upon it while meandering about aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon in April. All the other bars at 2am seemed dead, so I saw the sign and decided to ascend the "stairway to drinks" in the easily overlooked front entrance. After hitting the top of the stairs, the place opens up to a very interesting experience. There are two main covered areas, a thought to keep in mind as it was rigorously sprinkling when I visited. First there's a well-stocked open bar area under a makeshift roof with TVs there to grab the attention if the phone isn't working. Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine as so many people go out nowadays to bars and sit on a phone rather than socialize. What's the point!? Ok, lets get back to the review shall we? While the bar has a 270 degree seating area, there are some open tables without a roof. This yields to the largest area with a shack like roof covering picknick tables, benches all not exactly the most comfortable seating but cozy nonetheless. The fellow patrons were extremely nice and represented all spectrums of life. As for the drinks the bartender was extremely helpful in suggesting drinks of the day while being fast in severing over 30 people by himself. Kudos to slinging suds at a lightspeed pace. I don't fault the establishment for only having one person scheduled as 2pm isn't normally busy but when an impromptu bridal shower shows up, Shade showed out (meaning they handled it well)! My bourbon cocktail was perfectly balanced while their special drinks weren't overpowering yet had enough alcohol to kick start a motor into 5th gear after sitting idle for too long. Overall, I love this joint as it's everything one could realistically want in a bar. Even though their cocktails varieties are somewhat limited, sorry I wasn't ordering a "pickle-rita" they're very good and reasonably priced. The view is great no matter where which seat is selected and the people are fun and delightful. I highly suggest giving this place a shot as it checks all the boxes on an impromptu list. The only pause would be if it's raining hard, let it end before heading up the stairs.

    This used to be a fun an unique spot in San Marcos to hang out and grab a drink. But it has issues…read more Let me first start out with the good. The staff is FANTASTIC and very friendly. The bartenders are lead by the awesome Rene(i hope i'm spelling that right) and Miguel. I haven't learned the names of the others yet but I have never had an issue with any of them and they are always so polite. You can drink at the bar and even order food from the Taproom. Now for the bad or what needs to improve. The Porch used to have a nice outside 'porch' area with nice chairs and even porch swings. That I always felt was the selling point of this place as when sitting outside i would constantly hear passers by comment on the swings and even come in to sit on them. These have been replaced by very cheap metal chairs most of which are broken now and for some reason an elevated table with barstools which isn't in the porch motif. The interior used to have nice comfortable couches and chairs but pool tables have replaced those. Its fine I mean business change with new owners but it lost a little of what it was. I would be fine with all of that, except the outdoor chairs, if it wasn't so hot inside. The AC barely works if at all and half of the fans do not work so there is no air circulation and in Texas during the summer you want a nice cool place to relax. They need to fix the fans, cool off the interior and put some fans on the exterior. In the spring time, fall and winter its a great place to hang out, but until they fix the summer issues, I can't say. It is better than when they tried to be a disco club during the pandemic lol.

You can sit facing the street, inside with both a street view and TVs, or in the back where there are more TVs but a bit darker. The bar is smack in the middle with a cool circular projection screen above it. I ordered a Deep Eddy Grapefruit with Sprite and watched the FIFA World Cup. The bartender was cool. It is definitely a cool bar with great drinks.

Not sure if the other half is the same bar or a different bar. But I walked straight in and sat at the bar. While I was waiting for him I ordered a drink. I said anything sweet and vodka based. He said do you like strawberry, I said, I love strawberry. Then he said he would fix me something nice. And he was right. Strawberry lemonade. The drink has a mellow strawberry flavor, so it's actually not too sweet. Had like 4 drinks. The bar was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. It's in the heart of down town San Marcos I would imagine. Looked like the town hall was across the street. There was a group of people that came in, maybe a dad and his son, and son's friends. Maybe a birthday celebration. they actually were doing shots and they ordered one too many and offered it to me. Thank you kind Sir! Sweet of you. No idea what the shot was when I joined their toast. Down the shot went and I was like, no way did I just do that. Like is this really a thing? Pickle juice? Seriously? Haha. Well, just popped my cherry, pickle back shot. Had a great night catching up. Laughs, drinks, memories, and well, it was just nice to step away for a short time. Parking situation. It's all street parking. Didn't have a difficult time finding a spot.

I noticed all the bartenders were at the end of the bar laughing and joking so I left. As I'm walking out they walk out with my purse.

When I tried to act upset about it they harassed me, laughed at me and shined a bright flashlight in my face. Not sure if it was the bartenders or another customer but they just handled the situation horribly, will not be coming back.
