Ribs, Loaded Mashed Potatoes and brisket
LaToya S.

I see a lot of reviews about how tasty the meats are. I'd have to say, I wasn't very impressed. I ordered ribs and brisket with double loaded potatoes. The ribs were so tough. I did it finish eating them. The taste wasn't appealing to my taste buds either. The brisket was dry and bland as well. I was hoping the bark would have some type of flavor but it didn't. I'm thankful for the barbecue sauce because it did give it some kind of moisture for me to be able to chew and swallow down without choking. The loaded mashed potatoes weren't good either. They kind of had an instant taste to them, kind of like an imitation taste. Supposedly, there is supposed to have been cheese and other stuff in them but I did not taste none of it. That was kind of my fault because I assumed they would be loaded like you would get in a restaurant with cheese and bacon and chives on top but their definition of loaded is different from the normal. The employees were very sweet and based on that, I give them three stars but as far as the taste of the food goes, I was not impressed at all. I attached a photo of my plate after I was done eating.

Easily the best bbq in san marcos, the hatch sausage is yum. The cabbage is unique and good, mashed potatoes are excellent.

I had an awesome meal here. First, shout out to my server, MJ. She's freaking fantastic. She really…read morewent through the menu with me and checked on me and her other tables, more than she needed to. Now, Tumble is a huge place with lots of seating, outside patio and a bar. It's got a cool modern vibe going and TVs running sports. Fried chicken and burgers are the focus with some interesting menu items. Pies to round off dessert. I really loved my 1/4 chicken korean style (spicy, gochujung). I was a bit worried when the chicken came out quick but it was on point. On the sides front, the broccoli salad was stellar. Finally the key lime pie was solid. I will definitely be back for another bite next time I'm in town.

Over four stars, perfectly good bone-in dark meat chicken with excellent crust and surprisingly…read morestrong sides making it fairly priced occasional choice for me alone or with the spouse. __1/4 DARK__ $12.40 I debuted with the lowest heat to easier gauge the quality. Didn't taste any marinade or a lot of seasoning in the coating (so I can bring my SIL here) but I got beautifully cooked, juicy chicken so I figure this is an excellent starting block for whichever direction you take it. Personally, I'm trying the Korean sandwich next time. __MAC AND CHEESE__ (included side) I can be embarrassingly intense about macaroni and cheese. There are establishments I *love* where I refuse to order M&C again and warn others off it, but Tumble 22 is a go. Thrilled to find cavatappi used and the sauce is pretty good. They avoid the ubiquitous sins of being mush, stodgy, or watery. Better than what I've been offered as an entrée elsewhere and is certainly good enough to pair as a side to good fried chicken. __BROCCOLI SALAD__ (included side) Broccoli salad was best I've had since Cottonseed Cafe closed in Martindale (where they sensibly cheated with a trace of bacon). Little bit of heat in here. Great textures and flavors, ideal moisture level, nice companion to the fried chicken. I was delighted. __KEY LIME PIE WITH WHIP__ $6.50 Super rich, more rich than tart. This modest slice would satisfy most even if it was shared, like the shakes at Five Guys. It's that or save some for later. FYI you can order your pie--slice or whole--without whip if you prefer but it won't affect the price. Mine was packed separately for delivery and they still had taken the time to grate a little zest on top. I love little details like that at fast-ish food places. __DIP/DRESSINGS__ Forgot dressing at home for salads I'd packed and didn't want to eat mostly naked iceberg, so grabbed a 60¢ shot each of ranch and honey mustard. Both of them proved delicious. Ordered via Yelp button which routes through GrubHub. Delivery was correct and earlier than the reasonable ETA. Their website also has a delivery option which worked out cheaper, largely because it didn't include a tip. Might try it in the future when I have cash on hand for the driver. Excited about trying their coleslaw (first time saying THAT in my life) and collards. Looking forward to coming back and eventually trying the cocktails. 19SEP26

I'll cut to the chase...this place is the real deal and will be a staple go to for me. It's close…read moreto my house, affordable and most importantly DELICIOUS. I'd wanted pho for days and I waited until the weekend to treat myself. I went in and even though there were some people seated inside, I was able to walk right up to the counter to order. It's a small but very clean place. It's well organized and would be a pleasant place to sit inside for an afternoon meal. The young man at the counter was friendly and patient. I had questions and wanted recommendations since it was my first time there. He answered everything and helped me come to a decision, even engaging in my small banter about another place I'd been that I didn't care for. My food was finished quickly which I appreciated because I was hungry. The young man let me know that usually they only provide chili oil with the pho if you ask but he provided some since it was my first time and I didn't know to ask. He said he gave me the least spicy since he wasn't sure how I was with spice. I said I LOVE...i'm basically a fire eater and he went into the kitchen to get me their hottest (level 5). I was much appreciative. Side note: I also appreciate that they don't ask for 18% minimum tip like at more and more places I'm seeing. Anyway, getting home, I unpacked my food (steak and meatball pho and egg rolls). Everything was still piping hot. I got a large soup and it was very generous. But again, I was grateful because it was so delicious. It was flavorful, herby and packed with all the additions you want in your pho. Both chili sauces were good. They both had good flavor but I'm so glad he was kind enough to get me the level 5. Eating the soup normally for most of the meal, dipping ingredients into the chili sauce or adding it to my spoon for spice here and there. Then towards the end of the bowl adding the chili sauce to the broth for a flavor changeup after most of the other ingredients had been consumed was a great end to the meal! That sauce is perfect! The egg rolls were a bit more perplexing for me. At first I wasn't sure what was inside them. There wasn't much if any veggies inside. There was, for lack of better words, a mush or paste inside. I couldn't figure out what it was but looking at the receipt it was shrimp and pork. I think they make them into a paste and add them. They didn't taste bad by any means. They were rather large, crispy and moist inside. But for me the texture was a bit of a turn off, and I would have liked a bit more veg inside. But it wasn't enough to keep me from finishing them! The crispy outside was very addictive. I can't wait to go back because there was so much I wanted to try. I'm very excited about the drinks and desserts I saw; and they have vietnamese seafood boils which I LOVE. Thinking about it now makes me want to make a run!
