Talk about a hidden gem, this is the place! Set back off the main highway, a quiet place to just enjoy. We went for drinks and loved everything about the establishment. Sadly, we did not have dinner there, but if the aromas were any indicator... oh yeah baby. Family owned with an upscale look and feel, you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to going back! read more

Tonight my husband and I dined here and unfortunately left disappointed--not only with most of the food, but also with how our feedback was handled. The good: The beer selection was solid, and the cucumber margarita was genuinely delicious. The not-so-good: * Wedge Salad: The salad itself was fine, but the highlight--bacon--was extremely sparse. Six tiny squares were placed on the edge of the plate, which felt oddly rationed and not nearly enough to enjoy throughout the salad. * Mussels: This was the most concerning dish. We expected mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce, but instead received them in a buttery yellow-orange sauce with a very unpleasant odor. The smell was not "fishy" but something far more off-putting--honestly resembling manure. I've worked in the restaurant industry for years and don't send food back lightly, but this was not normal. The server said the smell was typical, suggesting vinegar may have made it "pungent." Ultimately, the manager told us we still needed to pay for the dish, which we did without argument, though the experience was disappointing. * Shrimp Appetizer: It was fine, but nothing memorable or worth raving about. * Burger: The patty was overcooked, the bun was dry, and the fries ended up being the best part--crispy and greasy. Overall, we were hoping for a much better experience. While the drinks were enjoyable, the food quality and response to legitimate concerns left a lot to be desired. read more

Loved the chic vibes and yummy food at Mako's On the Creek! The ambiance is so nice:) we went on a Sunday & it was quiet, which made it the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. I had the chicken sando and it was so great, and my husband ordered the steak sandwich, which was equally delicious. Everything from the food to the atmosphere made for such a great experience. Definitely a hidden gem for sure! read more

We visited Makos on the Creek for brunch. They have a minimal brunch menu but the food is wonderful. We opted for the Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer and they were as delicious as they look, so flavorful and crispy! I had the eggs porky as my entree and it was full of flavor with a variety of layers. The mimosas are an added bonus for brunch with a variety of juice choices which is always nice. The dining area is beautiful with rustic finishes, nice natural light and plenty of seating inside and out. The service was great and they were very accommodating with their recommendations and accommodations for our party. It was a great experience and despite the distance from where I live, I will definately make the trip again. read more

You wouldn't know this is a restaurant from the outside but my gosh this is a hidden gem on a beautiful piece of property. The inside is so pretty and relaxing. Food and cocktails were delicious. (A must try? The gin and cucumber cocktail is outstanding) Service is friendly and even though they forgot to give us our to-go dessert - they gave us a free cocktail to apologize. Now that's good customer service. I believe I met one of the owners as well and she was so nice! My partner and I really enjoyed our Sunday afternoon on the patio (especially playing giant connect 4 whilst waiting for our meals) We'll be back :) read more

The food was great! Everything was well seasoned, juicy, and cut perfectly! The Jerk Chicken was crispy as well as the potatoes and carrots with a delicious green sauce on the side. My boyfriend ordered the 14oz Ribeye and loved it! I tried a few pieces myself and it was incredibly juicy with so much flavor. The service was nice, our waitress was friendly and super helpful. The owner actually brought out our food & we were so excited & impressed with his presentation, food, & attention to detail! Awesome guy! The ambiance is perfect! Slightly dim lighting, great selection of wine, spacious seating, and other lively guests made this spot the perfect date night for the two of us. read more

A bar type setting with small portion overpriced entrees. More concerned with trendy food presentation than good quality value.

Yesterday, we had been @adobothrowdown and after the announcement of the winners, it was the end of the event. We decided to head to @makosonthecreek nearby to redeem the $100 gift card. So blessed! Happy hour is everyday from 4pm to 6pm and we made it in time. Selected drinks (including the Margarita and Classic Lime Daiquiri) and the Gouda Ranch Wedge were happy hour items we ordered. The wedge salad was great with egg crumbles and crispy pork belly. My husband had the Watermelon Mint Gazpacho and said it was spicy. I had wanted to try the Deep Fried Spanish Octopus and Seared Diver Scallops. The risotto was uniquely flavored. Dad had the Deep Fried Redfish Collars. This was like a Hamachi Kama and so good. My husband had the Citrus Herb Grilled Chicken, which was moist. Everything was fantastic and we took home leftovers. Unfortunately, no room for dessert. If you're in the Cibolo area, definitely stop by for a wonderful meal! read more

Between Mako's Texas Industrial ambiance and the friendly staff, you feel right at home as soon as you walk into this understated gem. We enjoyed the scallops and pork shoulder. The scallops were cooked perfectly. However, the mint risotto was not a great fit, and, at times, overpowered the subtle flavor of the scallops. The pork shoulder was seasoned with a mildly spiced rub that complimented the pork well. Our server, Isabel, was delightful. She was friendly, and engaging without being intrusive. I recommend you ask for her when you visit. Mako has a well curated wine list, and an extensive selection of top shelf liquors. Treat yourself... Cheers! read more

The food and customer service top notch!! They treat you like your family!! I had the chicken curry and mussels, delicious and freshly made!

Hands down one of our fave spots in this area! It's a hidden gem! The owners are amazing and always very personable! Their food is always precise! The chef makes every dish exactly the same way everything! Never have had anything wrong didn't like! The atmosphere is always amazing as well! The outdoor space is awesome and there's a little trail to walk to the water at! This place will forever be our favorite! read more

My husband enjoyed his pork dish. My Hendricks gin martini perfect. His pork dish was delicious. My salmon was dry and over cooked and the vegetables were unseasoned. I was very unhappy. A good chef should know how to nit overcook salmon.. It was our 53rd wedding anniversary and I was unhappy. We asked to give our views to the manager. Jackie, the mgr was delightful and listened to our comments. The end result, we were listened to, and we felt heard. We will try a second visit for a Wed, trivia night. As a veteran, I will try another visit. Not ordering salmon! The Chef needs to learn to not overcook salmon and how to season vegetables. Thank you Jackie for recognizing our issues and still making us feel welcomed . Can't wait to do trivia night without the dry salmon. read more

This place is a gem full of flavor, visited on a Sunday 14Jul2024 at around 1130 for brunch, sat at the bar since I was solo, the young bartender was so sweet, attentive, her knowledge and suggestions were on point, she truly enjoy working there and spoke volumes of her boss (owner) he's retired military and he's understanding of his staff. I order the salmon and Oh my good Lord! I don't regret my order. The chef knows how to make a foodie happy. I can't wait to come back! Thank you, Sincerely, Maria C read more

Ambiance suggests that it is an upscale restaurant. The prices reinforce that perception. In my opinion the food and service do not live up to 'upcale' and after several visits I try to avoid this place. Still I find myself returning due to friends who do not share my opinion. read more

It was good food, and due to having our dog with us so we had to sit outside, unfortunately it was during the dog days of this past summer. Glad they are dog friendly! We came up from the South TX coast to visit family btw San Antonio & Austin so it was a good meeting point. Only thing we'd have liked better is the seating outside, there were 8 of us and they squished us into 1 long table without any suggestion from the waitstaff for additional chairs or solutions (split tables? Extra chair? Etc) 3 of us ended up leaving early just bc we couldn't fit comfortably (I'm 5'6" 126 lbs so not like it's bc we're all big you know) and it was a bit $$$, but food and drinks were good read more

Third time in 2025. Feel like a VOP every time. Love the one available long, semi-private table in the bar area the best bar t we sit anywhere available. We go for happy hour and stay for several hours and always order 99% of their appetizers-which are also phenomenal. The frites with the three dipping sauces, the salmon Tartar, the shrimp campenara, the Gouda ranch wedge, the deep fried Brussels, and the $5 happy hour drinks are all delicious. Today our 5 got classic margaritas & wines, but enjoyed the Cosmo, the Sour, and the 4 other Mixed before. Staff--always personable. Happy hour have not needed reservations yet--but came close today! Go at 4 pm. You will love it. 9/2025. read more

We love Mako's anytime we go, especially for their happy hour! They have excellent cocktails and we have never had anything that wasn't delicious! Their brussel sorouts with pork are some of the best I've had and definitely get their frites with the 3 sauces! read more

This is a solid restaurant in an area that needed some better choices. The menu is interesting and definitely leans towards Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors. I tried the Harissa rubbed pork shoulder and it was amazing! The restaurant is clean and noise level was ideal. We had a business dinner there and could carry a conversation easily. The only drawback we had was service. Our waiter was stretched thin and there was an early rush that really slowed down the food from arriving. read more

Review from June 5 2021 Overall a nice restaurant, but the experience was just ok. The frites as an appetizer with the Mako sauce were good. The Mako's Bacon Cheeseburger was just ok. read more

This intimate and cozy restaurant is locate about 10 minutes drive on 3009 after exiting I 35. The atmosphere is relax, slow key, and clean. The service was very friendly and efficient. Love the decorations. And most importantly the food was fresh, tasty, and delicious. And the prices were reasonable. We ordered Trinbago Curry Mussels, Shrimp Campechana, and shared a watermelon gazpacho. The cold soup is light and refreshing which was perfect for this hot weather. The mussels and shrimps were tasty and fresh. We definitely will return for more.. read more

Our third visit to Mako's confirmed that the quality is consistent. I had not ventured out to see Cibolo Creek, which lies at the bottom of the property but is not visible from the restaurant. I walked down the rustic staircase and found a dry riverbed. I was reminded of the tales I had heard from my close friend, a past mayor of Cibolo, of his childhood ventures along the creek. He, by the way, cared for Samson, the school mascot, a short distance from here. Ah, the memories! read more

This place looks modern and reputable on the outside, but ooooooh once you get inside, let me tell you. Me: Hi. Can I sit at the bar top? Host: Sure! Would you like to sit at a table or the bar? Uuuummmm......listening is hard apparently. Then I ordered a "Gouda Ranch Wedge." There is nothing about that title that reflects the actual product. It's literally a pile of shredded lettuce, ripped up sandwich cheese, and a single pickled onion slice. How Alabama can you get in South Texas? Never ever again. read more

Nice ambience. Good food. A bit slow on the service even though we were there at 6 pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant was quite empty. They do have a sign posted about the service not being "fast food" so that was helpful to set expectations, but we just ordered a salad and fish, but waited 45 minutes. Just worth considering if you don't have much time for dinner read more

Came her for the first time and it was at a nice location with plenty of parking. Came her to celebrate a friend's birthday. Ambiance was nice and fancy with decors that can be for a semi-casual or fancy dinner. I loved it. We ordered frites by the cone which came with 3 different sauces to dip. Alcholic drinks were delicious and well made. I ordered the Harissa glazed pork should which was cooked perfectly! It had so much flavor. The couscous was well cooked and so flavorful that it balanced very well with the pork shoulder which was just so soft and tender. I loved it! There's nothing that I would change. I love the colors, but the flavor was just so amazing. I'm hooked! The chocolate cheesecake woth served with a tart blueberry sauce to offset the richness of the chocolate cheesecake, great balance. It was smooth, rich, and tart....overall, a perfect dessert to end the meal. Service was great, but I did ask for "happy birthday" to be written on the plate. Server said that they don't do it, but I could've sworn that I saw an image on yelp where they did do writings on plate. *confirmed* Server did say that they can add a candle which I said yes, please. But it came out with no candles...boo. Not as special as I would like. For such a fancy place, surely they have previous guests who were celebrating a special occasion and you'd think the restaurant would want to make it extra special. But, guess not. Nevertheless, it didn't ruin my experience there. I felt the menu was limited with selections but also the selections were all over the place. There were some southern options, Latin seafood options, Greek option, American....all over the place. It's a fun and adventurous menu, but would love more selections. Took one star off for that. Would I recommend, hell yes! It was a beautiful and wonderful experience. Food was flavorful. Would I come back, hell yes! I can't wait to try the other items. It's a bit pricier so I would come back once in awhile for a special treat. They do have happy hour but even that menu was more limited. Regardless, I DO want to come back and I look forward to it. read more

We found this new trendy spot in Cibolo, Texas. The host was very accommodating when we arrived, if you wanted to wear a mask then they wore mask and if you were comfortable and not wearing a mask then they would not wear a mask. He sat us all down as we were still waiting for three people from our party. Once our full party had arrived, we had to wait. Unfortunately the waitress took over 10 minutes to come to our table to at least offer some water. Overall our experience was very great! Unfortunately I did not take a lot of pictures because it was my sisters birthday. But I did manage to sneak in a picture of my cheeseburger which was very light. And I don't mean light in a bad way I mean it as in a satisfying way. Must try! Their cocktails are also very delicious. I had the cucumber margarita cocktail if I'm not mistaken, and it was very light and subtle at the same time. But boozy! The only part that I was not super happy with was that the waitress mentioned to us that she had ordered a special surprise for my sister which was their almond cake. As a gift from her. So to me that means that the dessert is on them. But surprisingly when I received the ticket the almond cake was on there. I did not feel like I really wanted to argue over the almond cake but as I stated the way she mentioned it to me is that she was covering the cake. So for that reason I did remove one star. Something that I really liked about this place was the bathroom. As a first time Mama i've noticed that many restaurants don't have a baby changing table. Or if they have a baby changing table it's very dirty. This place had a very awesome baby changing station. They had diapers, they had wipes, they had waste bags. You think of it and they had it! Thanks To their management for this! Great place to eat! Enjoy! read more

Mako's is a really nice restaurant! The staff was very friendly, the restaurant was nicely decorated and had great ambiance. The food and drinks we ordered were delicious. One of the previous reviews mentioned the Aunt Bees Knees being delicious so I decided to try it and it was really good. My wife got the salmon and I ordered the Pork Shoulder. The salmon was delicious (probably not worth $30 but it did taste very good) and the pork shoulder was also very good as well. One thing I will caution in regards to the pork shoulder is that it is very fatty. There was a lot of fat on the sides of the lean pork that added flavor for sure but wasn't very healthy. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and they were delicious. A lot of good flavor. We enjoyed our time at Mako especially since the staff was so nice. However, the price was really not worth it. I'm going to give it 5 stars bc there isn't a 4.5 star option and the experience was worth more than a 4 but I don't think I'd be coming back mainly because of the price of the food. It was good though; so if you don't mind paying extra then this is a good spot for date night or to enjoy a nice evening dinner. Overall: 4.5 stars read more
