Excellent tapas dinner in College Station! Sampled the Cheese & Charcuterie plate, the pork kebabs, goat cheese, olives, shellfish risotto - all were delicious. The service was perfect. read more

I absolutely love this place. Delicious food, great ambiance, friendly staff, and good drinks. I normally get ~4 plates to share. Highly recommend the black truffle steak and the mushroom arancinotto. Everything else on the menu is great too. read more

WOOOOOW!!!! After eating at Primerose Path where everything on the menu looked delicious.... Grace, our bartender chose our courses for us. Grace was very knowledgeable about the menu AND the service she provided was fun and allowed us to have an amazing experience. While enjoying our meal, a big spill accident happened behind us. To our amazement the whole team jumped into action to clean up without a blink of an eye. This comes from the top in leadership. WE ARE RAVING FANS FOR LIFE!!!!! read more

High top tables for tapas and wine inside or a wonderful patio to dine outdoors. I highly suggest reservations. The desserts are delicious also. The cheese board, garlic shrimp, steak, Mac & cheese and prosciutto wrapped asparagus were some of our favorites. read more

I came here with a friend. Overall nice place, but incredibly busy for an mid-week evening. TBH, I wasn't too impressed w the food. The waitstaff and owner were attentive and helpful. read more

Great small plates, delicious and a feast for the eyes. Grace waited on us and made amazing recommendations!

Absolutely incredible! The service was so far above and beyond, Faith and Brandon made our experience top notch, between their knowledge of the menu and their expert drink making it was truly a wonderful experience. The food was far beyond anything we expected and had such an amazing dining experience. I highly recommend Primrose, if you don't want to sit at the bar make sure you get a reservation because they are usually booked (and rightfully so!). read more

A great addition to CS/B! It's a cute wine bar with a nice selection of wine and good food. As with the Republic, the decor is done nicely and it has a elegant and cozy feel. Selection for wines by the glass is decent and the bottle selection was even better (some were pretty pricey). We had cheese board, mushroom arancini, grilled shrimp, daily special risotto, black spaghetti, and dessert along with glasses of wine. Everything tasted good but was pretty small and simple. For example, shrimp tapas was maybe 8 or 10 small to medium size shrimp simply grilled with butter and lemon. Spaghetti didn't have any protein. So they were great as tapas (with an exception of the mushroom arancini because there was only one and did not feel like a "tapas" to share and enjoy with friends) but didn't feel like a meal with a number of plates we ordered and $$ paid. Servers were nice but they had this "all three bartenders will be serving you" arrangement, which at times resulted in sporadic checking in (for example, someone checking on us right after someone else did). They could answer some questions about wines but did not appear to be too knowledgeable. It was pretty loud and we could hear every conversation of the couple next to us. They have a nice patio but the waiter/bartender did not know if dogs would be allowed. Overall, it is a great wine bar with good snack food. We personally like great bistros with good wine selections, so it didn't trump our favorite bistro across the street. But we will definitely come back. read more

Such a fun place! Perfect spot for date night. Service is always great. Food is delicious. Our favorites so far are: burrata caprese, filet mignon empanadas(best thing on menu!), Tuscan steak and four cheese ravioli. We tried others, but these are our favorites and ones we order every visit. read more

This place is so amazing! The food, the service........absolutely impeccable. I'm from Vegas and have to say the food is right up to par with the upscale restaurants. Thank you for an awesome menu variation and comfortable environment. read more

Food and wine were great. Ambiance nice but a bit loud. Service was good. It is a bit overpriced for portions but good food. Wine was very nice. read more

In College Station solo on business. Good sign when a place is 3/4 full on a random freezing Tuesday. The Hilton hotel on University St. is half a block's walk. The gnocchi w/ smoked pork belly dish ($17) was amazing and perfectly portioned for one. I left feeling refreshed rather than bog-down full. Grace and Erica at the bar were very welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about all the offerings. Comprehensive wine and cocktail list. Looked like 10-ish beers on tap. Very trendy decor without being pretentious. Would happily treat my wife here for a special occasion or random kid-free night! read more

One of my favorite places in CS! Small plates and charcuterie are my faves! Always good service and atmosphere!!

I think this place has a great ambiance. I have only ever had amazing service whether it be small or large group. And the truffle steak is just to die for! I also love all of their pizzas! read more

I love the food here. Nice, tapas atmosphere. Sometimes it gets loud but the service and food are always great.

Every time I come here, I try a new plate and I am never disappointed! For food options, definitely try their Albondigas and dip the focaccia di Parmagiana in the left over sauce! The paella, smoked gnocchi, filet mignon empanadas and truffled mushroom arancinotto are all to die for as well. As for drinks, the Lady Primrose is very refreshing if you like gin. If you have room for dessert, their dessert drink Key Largo actually tastes like Key Lime pie and it's a must try! I can't wait to go back and try more of their food. read more

I've been to Primrose Path many times and can not recommend them enough! The food and drinks are delicious and the ambience is great. If you sit at the bar, the bar staff is social and fun. This place is a College Station gem. read more

Great service and 10/10 food overall. I would recommend the gnocchi and the pita dip!

Fantastic! What a rare find and so refreshing. Everything was exquisite. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, great drinks. This is a total gem in this town. read more

Always incredible food and a great dining experience. I've gone for many special occasions and it has been a consistently memorable and positive event. read more

Just amazing! I am a huge fan of The Republic and have been dying to try Primrose Path. The first thing you need to know is that this is fine dining. You will spend money and you will eat fantastic food. The wine and beer are both very reasonably priced and Beer-wise they have more of a Belgium/German theme. I had 2 red wines - the Monastrell and the Cabernet Sauvignon and both were delicious! As most of the reviews state, food is tapas style. What you order will be a smaller portion that is meant to be shared, so you will order several items for your table. To give you an idea, my husband and I ordered the Cheese and Charcuterie Combination, the Truffled Mushroom Arancini, the Steak Pintxos, the Churros and this amazing Pistachio dessert that was off menu, and we left stuffed!! I can not recommend the items we ate enough. I am a huge fan of the cheese plate at Republic and I love how fun the combo board was here. If you are looking for a nice night out with a relaxed atmosphere, good food and good drinks, this place is a MUST! read more

We got a formage board and some signature cocktails and everything was wonderful! The combinations of flavors were paired very well on the board. I recommend the lady primrose drink. read more

Our first time at primrose path- we went for our anniversary looking for somewhere that might not be too crowded but had a nice variety. We ended up ordering 6 dishes plus the almonds plus two glasses of wine so added up a bill. However the food was delicious!! We also didn't realize that the owner was one of the people checking in on us but that was neat! We tried the calamari, fried goat cheese, bacon wrapped dates, fried mushroom risotto, crab cakes and the smoked gnocchi... all were very delicious!!! We loved how the calamari also had a few shrimp, mushrooms, and peppers in it and the fried was very crispy. The crab cakes were great- I liked how there was a lot of crab and not very much breeding- it was also a tad spicy but in a good way. My husband's favorite was the smoked gnocchi! It was very flavorful- had a great sauce to it. You can tell this place is owned by the republic because the food is up to the same standard. The inside is super small so not much seating but we sat outside on the patio which was quiet and enjoyable. I would definitely go back for a nice occasion or take friends coming to down that want to go to a delicious tapas place! read more

Just had drinks. The bartender was great. We had signature cocktails and were very pleased.

I regularly look up businesses on Yelp before I visit them and am regularly disappointed in either my food/ my service despite reading good reviews on Yelp. This was NOT the case at Primrose Path! Primrose Path is my new favorite spot in College Station! My food (bacon wrapped dates) and wine were wonderful, as was the customer service (ask for Gray). Everyone I went with was blown away! The experience was great and I can't wait to come back! read more

Primrose Path - a glass of wine in front of a bar - Wine Bars Near Me - College Station, Texas

This is a breath of fresh air in the BCS food/bar market. The cozy atmosphere is intimate and I recommend sitting at the bar to enjoy the attentive wait staff, easy access to drinks and tapas tapas tapas. There is a wide variety of them (though I wish there were a few more vegetarian options--there are Brussel sprouts, Pommes frites and Mushrooms). Check out the unique craft cocktail menu and grab a good old box of matches on the way out the door. Kudos to this place. read more

Outstanding first visit. We have been going to "new" Republic (and old) for years. This place is attached to "new" Republic. We are kinda of kicking ourselves for not visiting here before tonight. Great menu and outstanding staff. I love the Tapa style theme. We had the cheese & charcuterie board (very generous serving), fried goat cheese, mornay mac & cheese and black truffle butter steak (wow!). For dessert the churros and blackberry empanadas (another wow!). read more

Everything was stellar. Paella, gambas, tuscan steak, parmesan bread, & burrata. Beautiful. Great service from Brandon. Will be back soon, highly recommend. read more

I made reservations to eat dinner yesterday with my daughter and I am so glad I did. If I could give more than five stars I would. The drinks and food were spectacular and so flavorful. Lots of fun things to try and share. But our experience was over the top because of our waiter Austin. He was excited about describing the menu options when we asked his opinion between different plates to choose. He had terrific suggestions and was so kind and nice to us. We eat at a lot of restaurants but an experience like last night is rare to have a server who just makes your day better. read more

Excellent tapas, wines, beers, ambience and service. Had a great, romantic evening. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates, the manchego flatbread, the fried seafood misto, the bacon and garlic shrimp and the orange blossom custard for dessert. Of course the menu items have some fancier names but you can figure it out. read more

Primrose Path - Excellent tapas, wine, beer and service now available in College Station. - Wine Bars Near Me - College Station, Texas

Beautiful, intimate atmosphere with delicious drinks and food. Great for a GNO! Don't forget to make a reservation as it can be very busy.

We have been once and tried to go again last night. We liked it the first time, but this time, after I checked their hours online, we were disappointed to drive up on a Friday night to see they were closed for a private event. I went back and checked again, and there was nothing on Facebook or their website that I saw to let us know they were not open. Thought about Republic but it already looked pretty crowded, so we ended up driving around for another option. I wish there had been a heads up before arriving at the restaurant that they were closed. read more

Great food with excellent service from our server. The only improvement will be having a more welcoming hostess when we check in.

I'm impressed across every aspect of our dining experience. Service was knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. Cocktails were very good. Shared nearly 20 of the small plates amongst our group and every single one was interesting and delicious. Planned to finish with desserts and aperitifs but afterwards we were tempted by the impressive scotch whisky selection and had to cap off the night with a round of small pours. Highly recommended! read more

We have been twice, it has been amazing each time. The food is spectacular. Their wait staff is amazing and the drinks are perfect. This is hands down our favorite restaurant in college station and is better than any place in Houston. We make the drive just for it. read more

Wade Barkman continues to provide outstanding culinary delights. Unparalleled creations will make you want to come back for more. Start at the top of the menu and work down. When you're full, come back next week and start where you left off, you will not be disappointed. If you need a week off, walk next door to his other restaurant, The Republic, and have the Center Cut Strip. These are the two best culinary adventures that you will find, not only in College Station, but in Texas!! read more

Amazing food and even better menu. Great pricing! I eat here at least once a month. Always 10/10
