    Excellent deal and has grown to be one of our favorite KBBQ spots, despite living on Convoy street for 12+ years. Took a friend from out of town there today he loved it! Our favs are the pork jowl, short ribs, garlic pork belly, beef belly, spicy pork bulgogi, and the ribeye. Also, dont sleep on any of the chicken options, it's always tender and juicy! Sides are all pretty solid too. Love the large portions of onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Least exciting thing there is the banchan, but there's so much to choose from that you don't miss it, plus they bring out a free large side of japchae. Service is pretty good too - prompt and friendly and now they have tablets on the table that allow you to continue to summon additional menu items. However, I noticed there wasn't an option to request additional napkins, silverware, or utinsels on the tablet. Only recommendation for service here would be that they try to clear out plates a bit faster to keep your table cleaner and still appetizing. Ambiance is a little off with the French artwork. Seems out of place, but I feel like you're always too busy and distracted at a KBBQ place to really bother noticing these little things.

    My favorite place to take my bestfriend when we have our girls date. Kim was so nice !! We love the corn cheese , it's a must have every time!!

    Service is ok the server ladies are very monotone, and selective about who they are friendly and cheerful with... Worst part was I found A HAIR in the noodles and they were not even apologetic about it.

    Great food and service. Everything was as good as it gets. Service was excellent. Ambiance was great with a re-model. We will definitely be back. Jennifer our server did a fantastic job and had a great sense of humor especially when she called me a baby and sever me some Korean milk to which my wife totally agreed. I would leave her and Manna 10 stars if I could.

    Very first time in San Marcos with family and we really enjoyed Manna Heaven BBQ!!! We had a lunch special menu - meat was fresh, amazing variety, and everything came out pretty fast. Great spot to come with friends or family for AYCE KBBQ. This place will be my must-go. We will definitely be back!!!!

    This was an awesome spot for a late night kbbq craving. It was busy so we had to wait 5-10min for 2 but once we got seated, service was quick to help with ordering. The food came quick, portion sizes were good and consistent, and quality was there. I love it when kbbq places give a good amount of lettuce for wraps like Manna. The restaurant itself is kind of loud with how close the tables are and all the stations going at the same time. However it didn't bother us and is probably expected. We really enjoyed this spot and would go again if we're in the area.

    Returning customer. Great experience as always. Food is always fresh. Noise level is okay. Definitely for a group setting.

    Came here a week ago and we got say fairly quickly. Our server was great and the food quality was also great for the price. I would definitely recommend this place over a lot of other places as other prices have higher prices with less options. Inside was very clean too.

    We were staying nearby on Vacation and found this restaurant on Yelp nearby so thought we would try it out. We enjoyed our dinner. The price was good for AYCE. The beef belly is very good here. We also got brisket, bulgogi, carne asada , corn cheese and fried dumplings. We enjoyed everything we had and they were constantly taking empty plates out of our way and replenishing anything we needed.

    30

    Do we have to make a reservation?

    No, you can walk in and be put on their waitlist. Their wait time can be long on the weekend.

    What is the soy sauce they use/serve? It is really good but I'm not sure it's just plain soy sauce. I want to buy it or try to make it at home but I'm not sure if it's a specific brand or what ingredients?

    Hello there, it is manna house made sauce that has soy sauce as an ingredient. We do sell sauce by itself at each restaurant. Have a great weekend

    Do you need a reservation for a group of 5 or 6?

    Mostly Yes, Manna is very busy on weekend but maybe Monday-Thursday you can just walk in. We reserved through yelp App and it helps because they tell you how much estimated time is left.

    What is the lunch dine in price?

    30 and up

    Do they have the green onion salad, pa muchim?

    Yes

    For bigger groups...Do we all have to order from the ALCE menu or can some get a bento box? Or entree?

    Hello! Dine in is for ayce only. Thank you!

    Is there still indoor dining?

    Yes! You have to sign in on an iPad, and get your temperature taken before being seated inside.

    Are they still offering all you can eat?

    Yes we do! Thank you!

    What is dine in like now? Are portable grills provided and we Can we still grill outside?

    "Dine-out" is available. They have tents and tables set up outside and the portable grills available too.

    How much is it per person? What are the menu prices?

    $25-$28/pp depending on the menu option you go for.

    Hey! Just wondering when you guys will be open again?

    We are just waiting for government to allow us to open. We are opening as soon as government order is removed :) we cant wait to serve you guys again soon!

    Do you get charged when you don't finish all of the food?

    Hello policy states that we do; however, we normally don’t unless left over meats are extreme amount.

    How much is the dinner for 3years old?

    Children 4 and under are free.

    Do they have sesame oil?

    Yes we do! Thank you

    Do you get all the sides like the pancake at dinner?

    No. You have to order one item on the menu and your mimosa separately. Make sure to order the endless mimosas.

    Do they have an area that will seat a large group?

    It's pretty roomy there.. not sure if there is a secluded area, but the main area is large where they could put lots of tables together.

    Does it have to be a group of 2 or more or can I just go on my own?

    Ive seen singles there many times. I dont believe there is a rule on needing more than one person.

    Do they have a vegetarian option?

    Besides the sides you receive (lettuce with dressing, glass noodles, kimchi, potato salad etc.) They offer limited veggies to grill. They also have soups and steamed egg, if you eat egg.

    Lunch pricing or specials?

    No specials that I saw. The prices are for two options menu A with more variety of meat and seafood (pretty much menu A and B combined) for $27.99 or menu B has a few choices for $22.99.

I genuinely avoid this place at all costs but I get dragged here by friends and clients. The quality of the food has deteriorated to such a level that it's genuinely inedible. And to top it all off, the last time I came here, they shrunk the menu, took away the side options, and STILL raised the prices. (You aren't struggling because of the quality of your food. This place is just miserable) 3 visits ago, a couple months back, I ordered a burger because tbh, how can you mess that up? I ordered a double patty with no fries. Of course there was only ONE patty left in the entire restaurant, oh well such is life, but to top it off: the patty smelled of rotten sewage. I spit it out and returned it without receiving any sort of refund. 2 visits ago, I ordered catfish nuggets because of my previous experience, and was served soggy fried fish with dripping wet cabbage like it was just pulled out of a colander without drying. Whatever right? ($24 pre tax/tip btw) Now yesterday, I ordered a grilled catfish filet because the fried version was disappointing. (WHICH TOOK 40 MINUTES OF MY LUNCH BREAK TO COOK?) Fish was meh. Over seasoned like someone spilled the pepper bottle on the grill. And the fries tasted like dirty sludge like the fryer hasn't been cleaned in weeks. And to add insult to injury, I tasted mildew in my Coke Zero. Whether it's the dishwasher or the lines in the soda machine I have no clue but how can I strike out every single time I come here? I swear this used to be MY JOINT. The food was so good and the ambiance was amazing. Now I genuinely feel my skin crawl whenever I walk by this place. I'm sorry Felix's do better. I'm incredibly tempted to report this place to the health department to whip some shape into these miserable people who are serving mediocre service to paying customers. The only reason I'm writing this is because I'm now sitting at home with a 101° fever and a swollen tonsil after coincidentally taking a giant gulp of moldy soda? Idk man

This was my first dine-in experience at this location. Had the beef ribs tickler with sausage, coleslaw, and fries. The ribs were straight-up bomb! they were super meaty, tender, flavorful, and nicely charred. The sauce has a nice sweet, tangy, and spicy balance. The link was a good portion with a good smoky flavor, and the coleslaw and fries rounded out the meal nicely. Service was efficient despite a busy lunch rush and the staff were really nice and welcoming. The catering trays we've ordered have always been solid, and that same consistency carries over to the dine-in experience.

Honestly, everything lacked flavor, seasoning, and any sense of care. The sausage sandwiches came with pepper jack cheese that wasn't even melted, just thrown on top. The kids cheeseburger had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. At that point, I could've gone to Burger King and gotten something more satisfying. The ribs and tri-tip were both mediocre at best. Nothing stood out, nothing was memorable. We all agreed we'd rather just make this kind of food at home moving forward. For a place known for BBQ, this was a huge letdown. Definitely not worth the price, and we will not be returning. I'd honestly expect a refund after an experience like this. Also, went as soon as it opened so you cant even say they were really busy.
