I was visiting San Marcos Saturday and stopped in her for lunch. This is a cozy restaurant with friendly service. The cashier helped us decipher the menu to order what we needed. The food came out fast and was very fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed the Cajun fries. Definitely worth a try. read more

Jax Burgers - Patty melt/ Regular cheese burger. - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The beat steak and cheese sandwich I have had outside of Philly. So delicious, piping hot, tender steak.

In the heart of downtown San Marcos. The "Shroom" burger comes with grilled mushrooms and grilled onions! These burgers were great, and filling. There is ample parking on the square. They are open until 2am, likely for the college aged burger eaters. The sides are priced separately. read more

The service and food were excellent! There wasn't a long wait despite being crowded. My food was brought to my table hot and fresh. The burgers were delicious and HUGE with good amounts of toppings. Honestly the fries were a bit too salty and fried too well done but still edible. The natural root beer was a hit with all of us. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. I'll definitely be going back soon. read more

We decided to try Jax Burgers because our noses were drawn to the smell of their burgers, as we were walking through downtown San Marcos, my daughter was touring TXST. Jax Burgers did NOT disappoint! The burgers were so juicy and the patties were large. The fries were hot and delicious! The only thing I would change is their drink choices. Portions were very generous and prices are very reasonable for their food. We'll definitely be enjoying lunch/dinner when visiting my daughter. read more

I ate here again and it is still wonderful. My husband is in their birthday club...join it! They sent him an offer for a free milkshake. Of course, I helped him drink it, that's how I roll. Ha! it was so chocolaty. YUMMY. The order of onion rings that came out was a very generous portion, battered perfectly, and crispy how I like them. They also have a 2-ish to 5-ish weekday Happy Hour where milkshakes are only $3.00. What a deal that is, but I recommend calling to confirm. The employees were very friendly. The burgers are old fashioned, thick, and juicy. I'm ready to go back for more. read more

My family and I decided to try this place for the first time and unfortunately we were disappointed. The tater tots were a little on the salty side, but what really turned me off was the two large strands of hair that were in my burger. To say I was disgusted is an understatement. Please use hair nets, guys. read more

Solid juicy burgers. Great fries. Large selection. Order at front. Sit down or takeout. Limited seating. Typical college town quick eats setup. read more

Best burger in San Marcos! Highly suggest also the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries.

Because of all the great reviews, We decided to give this place to try while in San Marcos. This place is located in a very busy, dingy area of downtown. It took us 20 minutes to park! When we found the place, I was in shock! It's a lack-luster, run-down diner! No children's menu for the 4-year old. Classic burger for her, grown up burger for me, 3-pc. chicken tenders for the 12-year-old an order of fries (didn't know the entrees came with fries) and a strawberry shake. $44, thank you very much! Worst food EVER! The burgers were flatter than baloney, dried out, crumbled when you but into them, so much mustard you could gag, greasy beyond 20 napkins! Although I enjoyed the fries, the 4-year-old DID NOT APPRECIATE ALL THE PEPPER. The staff kindly replace hers, unseasoned. The shake was great! EVERYTHING ELSE WENT INTO THE TRASH! NEVER GOING BACK! read more

If I could rate just the food, this place is a solid 4 stars. Today was my 1st time eating here and our last. We walked in and nobody greeted us at the counter but I didn't think anything other than they're busy cooking. We take our time reading the menu, figuring out what to order and still, nobody greets us. Finally a lady came up with an irritated attitude asking what we wanted. Thrown off by her demeanor, I looked around and noticed an ordering kiosk to my left I apologized and laughed, asking if we should just use the kiosk and she repeated herself in a monotone, "what would you like to order". My husband asked her what the difference was between the 5oz & 7 oz patty in size or thickness and she said "one is bigger than the other" (monotone again). Well gee Karen, thanks! So we finish our order and my 7 yo daughter grabs a bag of chips. This lady side eyes her and yet again with attitude says, "and some chips?" as if she was just gonna steal a bag of chips???? Yes, yes a bag of chips! This chick should NEVER be talking to customers. Keep her in the back if you care about your business. read more

The staff are creepy. The food is gross and overpriced. Do not go here. It's loud and smells weird.

Walking into JAX is like taking a trip on a Time Machine back at least 50 years. Back when you could get a burger and some fries fresh and delicious from a local diner. I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries. The fries were the best I've had in years. The burger was just the right size, not too thick and definitely not too thin. The bun(oh the egg bun) was super fresh and soft and set the flavor combination up a notch. The bacon was huge thick slices, cooked to perfection. The service was good. We only had to wait on two indecisive customers who were in front of us(clueless). The vibe was definitely old school burger joint. Adding this place to our local favorites rotation. read more

Bathroom closed at midnight even to paying customers. We ate burgers here at 2am, but they would not let us use the restroom. We will not be back for any reason. Stupid policy. Stupid owners. read more

Spending some time in San Marcos, asked our huge family, there are ten of us, where to get a burger. So they recommended Jax. I normally try to avoid downtown San Marcos, but I'm glad we went. The place is on the square, small place, but really great atmosphere. I love places like this, in downtown squares. Service was great, very helpful and gave us recommendations on what to eat. Maria got the bacon burger, all the way. I could smell the bacon, and these guys don't mess around. Using thick bacon. Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I had the Baja burger, jalapeños, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. Let me tell you about the onions, they were chopped, not sliced. I usually like my onions grilled, but not today. As I was eating my burger, all I could think about, was that the onions were not to strong, and made the burger for me and my wife. I love that they had three different kinds of flavors for fries. We had the Cajun fries. We will try the Parmesan cheese fries next time, YES, We will be going back. Also sweet potato fries. All in all, this may be the best burger in town. read more

We've wanted to try Jax Burgers for a month or so and today was the day. Staff are friendly and they were very patient as we looked over the menu options. Yes, yes to the bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and chocolate shake! The onion rings were crispy and not greasy. The bacon was perfectly crispy and the cheese melted just right. We will be back! read more

Jax Burgers - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Quick stop for a burger - definitely wanted a real, old fashioned-serious burger and that's what I got. Had the Jax classic cheeseburger, medium well, ordered online. Got there early and it was just getting finished so it was fresh, hot and juicy. I decided to sit down and enjoy it on premise. Really satisfying and perfectly cooked and prepared. Big and beefy and full of flavor. It's a college town, on the square, wedged between the bars kind of place but it hit the spot. And not ridiculous on price either. A+ read more

Was in the area and decided to stop by since it was on our list to try. The burger size is great. Loved the bun, it was very soft, however, there was really grisly. My husband had the same problem. The fries had a lot of seasoning on it so I would probably ask for light seasoning or no seasoning. Not sure if we will try it again since we found a couple restaurants that have pretty good burgers in the area, but you should try it and see if you like it. read more

Food was amazing and the staff was so friendly! I had never been and had a few questions about menu, the girl at the counter was super helpful and made me feel like I wasn't a bother at all which is rare these days. It's super cute inside too, highly recommend the chicken strips with secret sauce! read more

Best burger in San Marcos! I had the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Wife had the shrimp burger with fries. We both had the Mexican cokes on tap. They are made with real cane sugar which is a plus for me vs high fructose corn syrup. There are other drink options such as lemonade and tea. Our daughter got the chicken tenders with fries and a chocolate shake. The staff was working even though the dining room was empty. They was prepping the toppings and boxing for later use/storage. The dining room had a 50s sort of retro vibe with checkerboard red and black Giles's and logo. It's at the heart of the square in a great location next to bars and other restaurants. This place should be a favorite with Texas State students and late night partiers. It's a little pricey, but then again what isn't worth paying. Inflation sucks, but good food doesn't! read more

The food here is amazing and such good quality, you can tell it's made with love and effort. Emily is the best, and we love her so much! We come here at least once a week and it never disappoints, the vibe and service is incredible. 10/10 read more

Jax Burgers - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Walking the Square in San Marcos I stopped into this burger joint after checking other establishments. I really didn't want a burger so I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was extremely moist and tender. Topped with cheddar and accompanied with mayo, lettuce and tomato. I requested BBQ sauce on the side. One of the best chicken sandwich that I have had in a long time. Seven locations in Texas...maybe I will visit them all P.S it was so good I forgot to get a pic read more

Jax Burgers - Half eaten bacon cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Burger was delish! Ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, with jalapeño's. Thick and hearty, with great flavor and just enough juicy to make it a memorable meal. O-Rings were cooked perfectly, too. Reason for only 4 Stars, the drink selections are not my style. Need to add a Dr. Pepper selection, as do many restaurants with the "root" soft drinks. I'll be back! read more

The service seemed bothered with us and uninterested in taking our order or answering our questions. After ordering, it took 30 minutes to bring us our shake, after asking/reminding them 3 times. We didn't get the shake until after completely finishing all our food and waiting for it. The service was certainly not deserving of the 20% ($15) tip I gave up front. The burgers were rather good. Onion rings and Fries were good. Chicken wings were okay. The food was overall good but the service soured the experience. read more

Hands down one of THE BEST burgers I've ever had!! For the price, it's pretty big and so juicy!!! Even the fries were awesome, big portion for sure. Would definitely come back here for any future burger cravings read more

If you are looking for a greasy spoon this is it ! We have been a few times. The burgers are delicious and so big my husband and I split. We can't go without adding fries and onion rings. Such a treat ! The staff is always very friendly and attentive. My only complaint is the restaurant is dirty. Sticky floors, trash under tables and grease film on everything, I could smell the oils on my hoodie the next morning. Not sure we will go back as good as their burgers are. read more

Cute atmosphere Great service great food definitely would come back. I asked for well done Patty but I did not get it so be careful before you leave and check your food. read more
