We had some major issues with our photographer but Penjo handled it amazingly. Colby helped the day go smoothly aside from the delays caused by the photographer issues. And they were so accommodating when we had minor changes from the timeline as the day went on. Her and Colby were truly so amazing and helped my wedding day go so smoothly. Ken was so easy to work with and helped us get everything set up exactly how we wanted it. My mom handled the bar with some upgrades and we were able to get some additions that everyone enjoyed. Their custom cocktails were also fantastic!! Aside from some minor issues with seating availability and things out of their control the day was amazing and I'm so glad we picked them for our wedding day. Highly recommend this venue and their staff!!!

I cannot say enough great things about this venue and the team!! HOLY CRAP THEY ARE UNREAL! From…read moreour first tour with the owner Ken, to the very last minute of our event, they made everything perfect! We knew Enchanted Ranch was our venue the second we stepped foot on the property. But we had no idea they would exceed all of our expectations and actually go so far out to make our day unimaginable! Ken was amazing to work with (I had so many questions and he never failed to respond so quickly to every single one) .We had the in house coordination, with Penjo and her team, and while it's "technically" day-of coordination and vendor stuff, she still communicated with me every step of the way. The day-of duo of Penjo and Madison were so amazing. They kept me calm and mostly stress free. I say mostly because the stress was not from them and from my family which they can't control haha. But they were always checking on me and making sure everything was going smoothly. Literally the dream team. We had the in house decor team set up and by golly was it beautiful. I was a little worried because I didn't get to see everything until we checked in on the day of, but again, everything exceeded all expectations. We had the in house DJ, Colby. What a great human honestly. Vibes were so high all night, I don't think there was a single second that the dance floor wasn't poppin. He also was in charge of the Photo Booth that was ALSO poppin all night lol. We had an open bar as well and the bartender and team were we quick and accommodating! Also friendly AF! Drinks were flowing, people were getting dowwwnnnn! The entire Enchanted Ranch team just really made our wedding day a dream. This is getting long, so I'll stop here. But if you're looking for a beautiful venue, with a team that actually cares about you, this is 10/10 the place to do your event!! Team, if yall see this, thank you and I love every single one of you!

Beware of the "5 Star" Reviews…read more Offering free drinks/apps in exchange. I do want to point out that I never submit reviews. Went in and sat down quick, yet the food took over an hour. We sat, ordered drinks along with the food when we got there. After we realized the people around us that arrived significantly later were already paying to leave, we got up to ask about our food as it had easily been 40 minutes. Got told it would be a couple of minutes, gave us waters. Mind you, we are now over an hour into waiting. Food started to roll out and we kept getting offered free chips in the meantime- sorry but this solves the situation how? We are now going to be full of chips and not food. 2 of the meals still took an extra 20 min after the majority rolled out and of course, my parents' food came out COLD. What were we waiting for on this exactly? A lady, who I am assuming is the manager, came to apologize, told us she would remove the 2 items from the ticket. We were understanding. However, she then admitted they dropped the ball- this is where this place really lost us. She stated that they tried to reheat the plates and just pass it as "fresh." Thank you for finally being honest but this truly just gave me a bad image of management. I felt like they just threw the team under the bus. We asked for the check and when we asked if she did comp the 2 plates, she gave an attitude responding, "I did, I fixed it" and then proceeded to send someone else to check us out. That is not how you manage or take ownership. As a manager myself, you take care of the person full on through to try and turn the situation around. Had she done that or had the staff communicated that they messed up when we had initially asked, we would've been completely fine instead all that happened here. We were in there for about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately left disappointed due to the good reviews we initially saw.

I mistake it for someone's home because there's a few people inside and it looks awfully tiny to be a restaurant. Out of curiosity we walk into the building and upstairs where we've met by the backs of the members of a live jazz band. We have to walk past the band to get into the room and that alone almost stopped us from coming inside. However realizing that's the only way into we room we do. To our surprise in this room (think a studio apartment) there's a full bar and quite a few people. This room also held the members of the jazz band who were rotating themselves from bar to band every few songs. This is what you can find in the TheUpRoot every Thursday. Every other week there is a beautiful restaurant a floor below.

I was stoked to hear that Taproom has vegan options. Their fried okra is delicious and they offer…read morevegan cheese and vegan ranch . Sounds good right? Well the last two times I ordered I received regular ranch instead of Vegan ranch. Yesterday when I got my black bean burger there were pieces of bacon on it . Now I understand this is the risk you take with ordering at places like this, but a grill separator is not expensive. Nor is it a big ask to use a separate spatula. I was so grossed out I threw my entire meal away. Now I'm not even sure the okra batter is vegan like I was told. Im glad I'm vegan by choice and not for health reasons, because I'm sure this meal would have made me sick. I didn't even eat pork prior to becoming vegan. To find it in my food lets me know this place doesn't care about taking steps to avoid cross contamination. So I will not be returning.

There's a pool table, and plenty of seating, at the bar, tables, upstairs as well. Found out that they have food, which I didn't know. We got some burgers, to make sure they were good. And they were. Just good. I did love the fries, done week done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had onion rings with my burger, they were just alright. The service is good, plenty of bartenders. Super nice and helpful and patient, took me awhile to order. The bar has a mug system, not sure how it works, but they have discounts daily for mug owners. Pretty cool idea. Plenty of TVs on, music was playing.

Located off of I-35 in a location that is borderline sketchy to cool, I Don't Know Bar is…read moreinteresting. The outside isn't exactly glamorous and I made double sure to lock my doors before entering. The place inside is exactly what one would think it would be like before entering. I'm about to get brutal so apologies in advance but the "devil is in the details." First I believe the younger, college age crowd sticks closer to downtown San Marcos. As my friend would say "there's no talent here." I'm not exactly propping myself up as some model, but most people here are calorie infused and starting about 35 years and up. In other words, it's a dive bar. Now before I let this go, all the people here were very nice and just wanting to have a good time. That means I felt safe. The staff were ok. I like the festive and cheap drinks so that's a bonus however I'm not sure how fast they are for serving if there's a crowd. When I was there it wasn't exactly populated. As for food I didn't order any so I can't be of assistance. Now, they do have a lot of large TVs and pool tables to keep one entertained. A word of advice, don't look up as the tiles look like they're holding back the mold. I'm not saying I Don't Know is horrible, I think they're just who they are. Since reviews can be factual yet subjective it's important to note we all enjoy different aspects of life. This place didn't jive with me so I won't be back. If it's close to you, I encourage you to stop by as it might be what you're looking for.

The sandwich was completely loaded with avocado, pesto sauce, melted cheese, and two perfectly cooked pieces of bacon on a soft, heavenly bun.

And let me tell you about the vegetables--zucchini, cauliflower, and broccoli--so good! I would definitely order them again. The service was really good, and of course, you can't go wrong with the atmosphere. I absolutely will be ordering this sandwich again! I highly recommend trying the Lunch Special!
