    Tarbox & Brown at Kissing Tree is one of the true standouts in San Marcos. Although Kissing Tree…read moreis a 55+ community, the restaurant itself is open to all -- and thank goodness, because the food and service are simply too good to keep behind any gate. The kitchen consistently turns out high‑quality dishes made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. The chef has clearly built a knowledgeable, confident staff who deliver a smooth, top‑tier dining experience from start to finish. I've eaten here many times, and nothing anywhere has matched their "Par 3" plate -- chicken salad, tuna salad, and egg salad served on crisp lettuce. Simple, fresh, and absolutely unmatched. The staff is always pleasant, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They're not afraid to tell you what they personally enjoy, which makes the whole experience feel warm and authentic. San Marcos is incredibly fortunate to have Tarbox & Brown. In the two years I've been a regular, they've only continued to raise the bar -- and that says everything.

    Came here for lunch on the weekend & it was the perfect place to sit out on the covered patio! You…read moreorder at the counter & then the food is dropped off to you, which is nice. Everything came out timely & the portion sizes were good. I got the French dip grilled cheese which was ok however I wish there was more cheese in it. Besides that everything was great, would recommend!

    Great place to eat. It is like a neighborhood restaurant and bar combine. We're all family members…read moreare welcome. I even took my little bitty well trained dog there. Inside the ambience is sort of noisy, lots of people talking and having a wonderful time. My wife ordered the taco salad and she said it was delicious. It was very well prepared and was very appetizing to see it. I ordered the roadhouse grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Wow, outstanding. They knocked the ball out of the park. Hats off to the chef that prepared the food. The chef definitely knows what they are doing. We also had drinks there and they were very good and everything was very affordable. The reason I gave this a four star rating is the waitress was not up to my standards. I had to remind her to bring coasters, napkins, and several other things. However, setting all that aside, the service was very fair and will definitely go back, the food was outstanding. The drinks were outstanding. This is our fourth time there and other times I gave them a five star rating also. I highly recommend this place. Will definitely be going back.

    Came on a Monday night for their inaugural bingo event! It needs some tweaking, but the bartenders…read morewere kind of just thrown into it. We had a great time playing and I won Round 3 (4 Rounds). We got some really great margaritas from a very attentive & accommodating bartender. I'm docking a star because our experience with the food was lackluster, to say the least. We ordered a chicken pesto pizza with buffalo wings (it's their $22 special) and got some weird pizza with absolutely no flavor, no pesto, and avocado chunks on it. Sent that one back and asked to try the Mediterranean pizza with chicken, balsamic glaze & fresh basil on it and we ended up with a very frightening looking pizza that was basically balsamic as a base (nobody could eat that much balsamic) and no basil at all. It is Halloween week but the vibes should be spooky, not disgusting. On the wings, we requested all flats and got 1 flat and 4 drums. Alcohol kept me from crying. The pizzas were comped, obviously, but the wings should have been too, given the fact we had to send food back twice, didn't get what we requested on the wings, and then ended up actually overpaying for the wings because they were no longer part of the pizza combo. We were also told that the margaritas were on happy hour, which ended up not being true. Just kind of a weird food experience, but service, drinks, and bingo were great! And I've got $50 to give them another chance in the food!
