    Eggs Benedict

    We came for brunch and wanted to sit outside, but it was unavailable at the time. Service was pretty slow, but food and coffee was good! I suggest getting a reservation for the patio for an optimal experience

    Tomato soup and a wanna be grilled cheese
    Nicole C.

    I had high hopes...let me start with this: Restaurant owners, can we teach our staff to remove the word "just" from their vocabulary? Stop with the "Just one?" Like solo diners are not good enough! She didn't ask if I wanted in or out and just seated me, immediately asking what I wanted to drink. My bum hadn't even touched the seat yet. I asked for more time and started to peruse the menu. I ordered the soup, 1/2 sandwich combo. Let me start with that the soup was tasty AF. Dang that jalapeño tomato soup was bomb. It was a very very small cup though, not sure it even measured 8 oz. The 1/2 grilled cheese with tomato and avocado was so so sad. Barely melted and just no flavor. Meanwhile the moment I put my napkin down, here comes my waitress asking if I was ready for the check. Mind you I still had more than 1/2 of my $13 glass of wine to finish. This was not an experience, this was a bomb ass soup in a fast food environment, not at all what I had hoped for. I left hungry and sad Ambience was good, would have preferred outside seating PS the soup moved this up to 2 stars

    Fried Brie

    Jobell exceeded our expectations! The food was great. Everything was seasoned nicely. The presentation was pleasant and everything came out fresh. The restaurant had an eclectic comfortable feel. Set back off the road in the trees with a gravel parking lot. Loved it for our date night. Service could be more attentive, our drinks sat empty on multiple occasions for a restaurant that was not at capacity. Everything is priced very well for the quality. Overall, we would recommend and would return on our next trip!

    Super cute place! The food is fresh and delicious. They did a sweet little rosé strawberry for our wines. Our waitress was also very kind and thoughtful. I adore this place and will definitely be going back!

    I LOVE JOBELL!!! My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday with my best friend, and oh my goodness the food is amazing! The seating is very cute, the outdoor area is beautiful, highly exceeded my expectations! The staff was knowledgeable and prompt, food came up quickly, drinks were good, and overall everything was good! I can't wait to come back here and get wine and try the charcuterie board, and all of the other things on their menu! So glad we found this little gem, it will definitely be a date night spot and a quiet hang out for a couple of close friends! Make sure to make a reservation so that you can get in on the weekends if that's when you're planning to go, they fill up fast because they are so awesome! P.S. They're garlic truffle mashed potatoes are to DIE FOR!!!!

    Sea bass - it was very delicious.

    Super place to eat. A cute quiet small location nestle among the trees. We had dinner there while in Wimberly for a family reunion. The staff was very friendly and accommodating(since we did not have a reservation). The food was spectacular. I had the Jobell salad and the sea bass. Very good. We all shared the fried Brie and it too was wonderful. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back Sunday for brunch. If you are ever in Wimberly and have the time, I nightly suggest you stop it. I don't think you will be disappointed. I know, when I'm back near the area, I will be eating at Jobell's again.

    Hidden Hill Country gem!! We keep coming back and never disappointed. Always greeted with wide smiles, the food is fresh and delicious. Great authentic atmosphere. Love their chicken piccata, their seabass and appetizers. So exciting to see local business giving their unique touch and a warm welcome to both locals and visitors.

    Quaint gem outside the city.

    When we went most people were dressed business casual or better. There were a few people in jeans and button down shirts.

We were so impressed we spoke with the Owner and the Chef. We went back for the following New Year's Eve. The food was undercooked and service was horrible. We found out the Chef was not there. We took it as an "Oh well, we will try again!" Two years later we made reservations for our anniversary last night. The restaurant was packed. We were given a 2 top table in the corner where fir some reason the air conditioner was blowing directly on us! By the way it was 49 degrees outside. We mentioned this to our waitress who replied with a shrug. We ordered. I ordered the strawberry feta salad and the off menu appetizer. My husband ordered the lasagna with a salad. My salad was superb! The appetizer that I was having as my entree and my husband's meal finally came out. His dinner was plated horribly!! The lasagna was warm ( not hot) and the salad was in the plate so when he added dressing it ran into the lasagna. My crawfish crab cake was a joke. It literally had two pieces of chopped crawfish in it. The main dish was the tomatoes and basil for $26. Never did our waitress say that the appetizer was quite small and I probably should not order it as a small entree. Oh well, we have learned. Obviously the restaurant stays busy and I congratulate them on what is being done right!

I can say the ambiance is wonderful. It is a beautiful place. Our previous attending and food choices/selections were fantastic. In preparation for, since two had not been there, I pointed them to the online menu. First mistake, the menu is old and requires update. I think if I had known that I would not have made Tilley's an option. The prices of everything were pretty high. And based on the food we selected, most was not worth the cost. One order included Short Rib Pasta with a thin pasta as tagliolini. Instead, I receive a pulled pork with a very thick pasta. I did not care for it. I like thin pasta. Pictures display what was provided and a typical Northern Italy dish of tagliolini. Because I am not certain of the plate names, I can only comment as to what our group had to say. And of course, the menu online is still not up to date. Steak Frites. The steak was a little tough and cold. It did not really have a real flavor. It was accompanied by fries that were not tasty at all. Thank God for ketchup. House made Focaccia, as an appetizer, was a good size that could be shared among the 4 of us. Make sure to ask for extra butter because they only provide a small container. As big as it is and 4 adults, you would think they would automatically provide enough butter for each. The night was so busy that when we finally did ask and got it, the bread was already cold. The lemon brick chicken was another favorite dish in our group. It was tasty. The best dish was the fish (cod). It was superb, since we were disappointed in our own meals, we were fortunate the birthday girl shared with us. The fish was cooked excellent. Let me summarize by saying that based on prices, staff, and time for food to come to us, it wasn't worth it. I think a better choice would have been Trattoria Lisina in Driftwood where you don't have to pay for the bread and staff is always there to take care of you and get the food to you in a more expeditious fashion. Fortunately, Tilley's is beautiful therefore the surroundings make time go by a little quicker. I did send a similar note to Tilley's, but they did not respond.

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.
