    Dozen buffalo shrimp
    Jeri T.

    Slow St Patrick's Day evening. I was quickly seated and served. I got a dozen buffalo shrimp and an order of half fried pickles and half fried jalapeños. The food came out in a reasonable time. The restaurant was clean and music volume tolerable. Plenty of options on the tvs.

    I used to LOVE Hooters, but somehow over the years bad service and food at the Austin locations drove me away. Enter the San Marcos location which I've dined at a few times. Decided one afternoon that the location would be ideal for a car club meet up. San Marcos being the half way point between Austin and San Antonio (there or there abouts) meant I could invite friends from the SA clubs. The reason for the meet was not over territory (NOT TWIN PEAKS WACO!!!) but to hear a bunch of different exhaust options for our cars all in one place. Picked up my cell phone about a month out and attempted to contact the restaurant directly. About 4 hours of calls went unanswered; ended up reaching out through Facebook. Sure enough, a manager named Zach immediately responded. Turns out the phones were out and he didn't even know it. He called me directly a few minutes later and cleared our group to use the back portion of the parking lot on a Saturday morning. On top of that, an appreciated discount for attendees. That Saturday I made contact with the morning manager on duty and our group was seated on the patio at 11:00am. Didn't quiz every guest but looking around most peeps looked happy with their entrees. Drink refills came in an orderly fashion too. My choice was the boneless wings with half Three Mile Island; other half Daytona Beach which I had never tried before. Both were forehead sweating tasty. Really would like to thank the staff for a pleasant experience going above and beyond for our visit.

    The staff was really nice. The food was tasty BUT the portions were terrible! We got food to go. It was a bit disappointing. My full salad looked like a side salad with 6 pieces of chicken thrown on to some lettuce. No blue cheese! Soggy fries & not many of them with the burger! Cheesecake was delicious. I will have to try something else next time.

    So, we haven't been to Hooters for years. We finally had a chance to return, mainly because we were out voted on where to go. We were in San Marcos, Texas, and went to this location. The parking lot was pretty full. Good size parking lot. We had a 45 minute wait, the whole restaurant wasn't being used, probably not enough staff. We tried to get some drinks for our wait, but they have a policy of not serving alcohol unless you are at the bar or at a table. So we didn't get any drinks until we sat down. Service was good. Food came pretty quickly. We ordered two 30 boneless wing specials, came with the wings in two sauces, and fried pickles and curly fries. Ranch or blue cheese dressing. I was surprised by the boneless wings, they were a good size nugget and cooked very well, not dry at all. Seasoned very well. I normally go for the bone in wings, but we were very happy with this choice. We really enjoyed the fried pickles, crunchy and done just right. I could not stop eating them. Our drinks, a michelada, I do not recommend, just kinda bland. A Amaretto sour, very delicious, highly recommend. Dos X, dressed. And a Guinness. The bathrooms are clean, and the floors are kept clean as well. All in all, we would probably go back to Hooters again.

    Thursday hamburger special with 6 extra well done wings and 2 teas.

The bartenders are lead by the awesome Rene(i hope i'm spelling that right) and Miguel. I haven't learned the names of the others yet but I have never had an issue with any of them and they are always so polite. You can drink at the bar and even order food from the Taproom. Now for the bad or what needs to improve. The Porch used to have a nice outside 'porch' area with nice chairs and even porch swings. That I always felt was the selling point of this place as when sitting outside i would constantly hear passers by comment on the swings and even come in to sit on them. These have been replaced by very cheap metal chairs most of which are broken now and for some reason an elevated table with barstools which isn't in the porch motif. The interior used to have nice comfortable couches and chairs but pool tables have replaced those. Its fine I mean business change with new owners but it lost a little of what it was. I would be fine with all of that, except the outdoor chairs, if it wasn't so hot inside. The AC barely works if at all and half of the fans do not work so there is no air circulation and in Texas during the summer you want a nice cool place to relax. They need to fix the fans, cool off the interior and put some fans on the exterior. In the spring time, fall and winter its a great place to hang out, but until they fix the summer issues, I can't say. It is better than when they tried to be a disco club during the pandemic lol.

It is definitely a cool bar with great drinks.

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.

So I asked for an IPA, and they told me they only had uncle dunkle, was the only IPA. I rollED my eyes, cause that wasn't an IPA. They didn't have any mint, so I couldn't get a mojito for Maria. They could make a margarita for her. While I was waiting for my drinks, there was a lady waiting for her food, she said that she has been waiting 30 minutes. While the band was playing, I got me two more beers, cause the bartenders were pretty busy. After a while I noticed the lady come back to bar looking for her food. By this time it had been well over an hour. She was told that they gave her order to someone else. Waiting for service here was the worst. Then not having stuff to make drinks.

Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. Our waiter never really welcomed us or made us feel appreciated as guests, especially for such an important occasion with a party of 13. As the graduate and guest of honor, I felt completely ignored the entire night, which especially upset my mother. He mainly interacted with only one family member the entire evening and came across as cold and uninterested. I understand he may have had a broken wrist or was having a difficult day, but it still felt disrespectful and lacking basic hospitality. I might consider returning someday to try the regular menu instead of the preset graduation menu, but I definitely would not want the same waiter again.
