All fantastic. But the pot roast... oh mama;) pork chop was tender and delicious. Salmon was suprising good. Shoestring chicken sauce is excellent read more

A really nice setting and worth waiting for a table. Jalapeño gravy is surprisingly good, good biscuits and they really stepped it up with the shrimp and grits. The only negative was the homemade jam- a strawberry blueberry mash up with cinnamon mixed in. It was underwhelming and not much flavor. Good service but busy so prepare for that read more

Came here for breakfast. Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. We had the porters chicken biscuit/sandwich, challah French toast, with homemade potatoes, eggs, and bacon. It's become quite rare to have a sit down meal where everything you order is impressive and served hot. Waitstaff were attentive and sweet. The restaurant itself is well thought out floor plan wise, plenty of roomy seating, and nicely decorated. We look forward to trying their picnic area with our pups and dinner soon. The Root cellar checked all of the boxes. Well deserved!! read more

Excellent brunch items and a yummy Bloody Mary! Love sitting outside under the giant trees

The restaurant was very busy. No one was waiting on us. The waitress named Ashlyn came over told us that they had messed up and we didn't get a sign a waiter. She was very helpful. They cheer we got our drinks made sure we had got our food ordered and delivered she did a great job. Thanks for making it a great experience. Food was excellent. read more

This place is an absolute joke. My wife and I get there and they tell us to wait one second while they clean off a table. So we wait for 10 minutes and mind you we are right in front of them on a bench. Then a couple walks in and they immediately sit at an open table. Then I say why did they just sit and they say oh we forgot and now we can tell them to move. read more

Always great food and service no matter the San Marcos or New Braunfels location. Both places are charming and have a great vibe.

I have visited The Root Cellar in San Marcos a few times and was expecting similar food quality and service. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We went for breakfast and were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated without a wait. Our drinks and food came out quickly but the food was sub-par. I had the Avacado toast w/fried egg. The bread was not toasted and the egg was overcooked. My side of sausage was the highlight of my meal. My husband ordered the Hill Country biscuit breakfast w/ jalapeño cream gravy. There was no jalapeño flavor at all. His side of fried potatoes were very dry. Our server asked if we wanted ketchup or salsa and we requested ketchup which he never brought. I loved the decor and concept but until the cook is better trained I will not be back. I gave 3 stars as the service was quick, mimosa was good and the potential is there. read more

Jordan was very well-versed in their food/menu. Food was delicious place was clean and I find it to be a hidden gem.

We had GlutenFree French Toast, and Shrimp and grits! To die for! OMGosh delicious! The service was great! I would recommend eating here, for sure! There is a lot more I would like to try! read more

Legitimately the best date night spot in town. We have gone a hand full of times now and everything is amazing. Such great food, this time we got the pesto chicken flatbread appetizer, blackened chicken Mac & cheese, ahi tuna, and a side of Brussels sprouts. We finished off with the snickerdoodle bread pudding. Our service is always so great and tonight was no exception with Cameron. She was attentive and knowledgeable and just delightful to be around. We got a few cocktails, The Huckleberry, Bloody Mary, and some kind of espresso martini- which were hand delivered by the bartender who checked in to make sure they were tasting good- which they do were. The ambiance is chill and cozy. So perfect for date night. Straight up can't say enough about this place. We also were visited by the manager, Ryan who checked on our meal and even bagged up our food for us. 10/10. Amazing. read more

We had a party of 6 (4 kids) and everyone LOVED their food. The only issue were the drinks, they don't have regular CocaCola and Dr.Pepper so we had to trade drinks in and out a few times. our waitress was so nice and the other waiter was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean and homey feeling. I loved the decor. I was worried at first about the kids but it was a relaxed atmosphere and we loved it. read more

The food was amazing. Our server Fonda was more amazing! Definitely recommend this place. read more

The ambiance is adorable you feel at home but know you're going to be getting great food. Speaking of the food I've tried a lot of different things on their menu and each is a success! It's good comfort cooking with an elevated twist that's easy to enjoy. Their drinks are creative and good. The service is friendly and prompt and you may be getting some fun facts along the way. This is a great restaurant for families or a night out with friends or colleagues. read more

I was excited to have the new location in New Braunfels to open, have eaten at the location in San Marcos. The food was okay, honestly I probably won't return. The beet burger was okay, not the best that I've had. The brew house hamburger was raw, definitely could've been cooked more thoroughly. Also didn't care for the jam, It was a mess to eat. The roasted cauliflower steak was nothing more a handful of cauliflower thrown on a plate. No steak shape- looked more like a side dish of veggies. The beer battered asparagus fries appetizer were good and the spinach artichoke dip was okay read more

Decided to try Root Cellar for Sunday breakfast. Wait quoted 45, got sat within 15! Things started off great, ordered drink and food. Had funny banter with server. Then waited over an hour for our food. About 35 minutes in our server said he had messed up and forgot to order it. Retook our order and said he'd try to get it rushed. At least 30 minutes later it finally showed up. The manager avoided our table like the plague. Any good customer service would have addressed this head on and rushed food out of the kitchen, manager would have spoken to us, and maybe something done to the bill (but not expected). I think the biggest disappointment was the manager. Food was tasty, but there are plenty of other places to choose from. read more

I came in thinkin it was gonna be just another old cafe. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. For an appetizer I had the beer bread an honey butter, FENOMINAL. The bread was perfectly crispy with the delicious honey butter. For the entrée I had the chicken and waffles, let me tell you,they were probably the best chicken and waffles I had ever had! The waffles were fluffy and chicken was crispy but also soft and tender. Perfectedly seasoned and so filling. The atmosphere was impeccable! So clean but also so enviteing! We also got a parking spot with no problem. It is wheel chair and service pet accessable and has gluten free options! Definitely a spot for the family! read more

Cindo de Mayo chips & salsa $3 special = stale chips. Shrimp & grits - 3 probably cooked shrimp & grits -- not a lot of flavor despite description of chorizo & cheese in the grits. Can we have a BLT? No. 'You have to modify something on the menu.' Beet & goat cheese salad = 1tsp goat cheese & 1/3c diced beets Weird. Service was great. Interior is quirky & clean. read more

Was not impressed with the meatloaf. Terrible sauce. Burger was good. Meat was cooked well but not worth price for the small portion size and lame side of store bought chips. read more

I like to try new places so I stop in here for breakfast as I was waiting for our trailer to get serviced at Camping World. Very quaint place, was greeted nicely as I walked in the door, seated promptly as they were not really busy. My waitress was very nice and accommodating. Order a la carte 2 eggs over hard, bacon and potatoes. Flavor was good and the bacon was crispy but my eggs were runny......(see pic), overall a nice place to eat. I would have given 5 stars if my eggs were cooked correctly. read more

Good fresh salads. Coffee is also good. Can be pricey though. Located in the southend area.

First time eating here. My wife and I were looking for something new in new Braunfels, tired of all the fast food restaurants. We dropped into the Root Cellar and were pleasantly impressed. Food was served timely, hot and was delicious. I had the bone in pork chop and my wife had the shrimp and grits. Service was great. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items and the weekend brunch looks good too. read more

We liked this place when it first opened.Our last 3 visits have been a waste of money.Threw away last nights meal..worst scampi ever, rotten clams in it..we definitely won't be back. read more

I mainly go here for breakfast. They have some items on menu that is different and tasty. There is one in New Braunfels and San Marcus. read more

Food was ok. Service was a 3 out of 10 It was a convenient spot, across from our hotel. It was a Thursday morning and we waited over 40 minutes to be seated. They made excuses as to why they couldn't seat us but that's besides the point. We sat, we ate, we won't be back. read more

The food is great and the service has been very good. It's in the old Smokehouse building so it still has they look from the outside. So far we've been to breakfast (3 times) and lunch (once) and each times has not disappointed. For breakfast I have to recommend the French Toast. It. Is. Awesome. Oh and anyone can pour coffee so you're never without. That's a big plus to me! read more

Great atmosphere. Staff was amazing. Food was deliciously. I will return. Beautiful location.

By far the worst restaurant we have eaten at. The server forgot our order, then got confused as to what we ordered and then gave us a wrong salad with one of the meals. The meat loaf meal was a small scoop of mashed potatoes with a small piece of meatloaf on top with a sweet and spicy tomatoes sauce. That's all that was on this big dinner plate. It was ridiculous how it looked. The other plate was the cellar cottage pie and it was awful. Nowhere did the menu state it was spicy hot. I love hot, but I was very uncomfortable with the heat this meal put out. Miserable dish, and hardly edible. No apology from the staff. No manager talked to us. Just a terrible experience from, what we thought, a good restaurant. Never again. If I could give it a lower rating than a "1", I would. read more
