On the 14th of April, 2026: NATHAN WAKE, the GENERAL MANAGER of THE SALTGRASS RESTAURANT in San…read moreMarcos, Texas refused to give my puppies a DISPOSABLE TO-GO CUP OF WATER TO POUR INTO THEIR OWN TRAVEL PUP BOWL (that we carry with us). Something needs to be done in response to his cruelty. But, what? For over a year he has been finding reasons to scold us over my Service Dogs -- my EXTRAORDINARILY WELL TRAINED SERVICE DOGS.  We should have never returned after his first fit of abuse over my very calm, very quiet Service Dogs. But, it's the only steak house in our area. First, it was because I gave them a piece of a tomato off of my salad, with my fingers. They had no interaction with anything on the table. I gave them a tiny bite of the tomato from the salad that I purchased. This is FDA Compliant. My Disabilities don't require large Service Dogs. So, I use a pair of pomeranians. Because they're so small, I keep them in a dog stroller that also serves as a walker with wheels for me. That way, they are confined and not touching a dirty floor that may be unsanitary. If you were to ever hear them bark, know that they are calling for help, for me.  I love them with all of my heart, and they love me. So, yes, they are my fur babies, but they do have jobs to do. Out in the public, they see that people are near and watching me. They are so smart. Sometimes, we even communicate with with hand signs. Unless I'm in a surgical setting, I'm never apart from my Service Dogs. They are so accustomed to waiting in doctor's offices, they curl up and take naps. They even accompany me into the Emergency Rooms. When I'm hospitalized, they spend every day sitting and watching over me. It may sound harsh, but they only leave their stroller to go potty outside and take a walk around the hospital gardens. Pomeranians are lap dogs, so they love their stroller. Away from home, they prefer it. People passing by think that it's hilarious how they sit up and casually take in the sights. They honestly look like they're shopping in the stores. They assess and adapt to the etiquette needs in various settings. Going into a restaurant is an almost daily event for them and the only part that gets them excited is the end of the meal. As I eat, I cut off tiny pieces of meat and set them aside. I, also, save a small tomato from my salad for them. I cut it into tiny bites, also. Then, I hand feed them their little bite size treats. Their saliva never has any interaction with any of the restaurant's plates or flatware. Most of the times that we go to a restaurant, it's after a day of doctor visits. As puppies do, they get thirsty. So, we carry a handy little collapsible water bowl. When we order our teas, we order a Disposable To-Go Cup of water that we pour into their travel dish. Until now, I've never had a restaurant refuse to give me a disposable cup of water... NEVER. As a matter of fact, most restaurant's staff absolutely love my puppies. Embarrassed and mad, I actually walked out of the only steak house around me. I really looked forward to eating there. But, now, I can never return. I guess that I won't be ordering deliveries from there either. I'm stunned to have been treated like I was. As I said, NATHAN WAKE, the GENERAL MANAGER of THE SALTGRASS RESTAURANT in San Marcos, Texas refused to give my puppies a DISPOSABLE TO-GO CUP OF WATER TO POUR INTO THEIR OWN TRAVEL PUPPY BOWL (that we carry with us). Something needs to be done in response to his cruelty. But, what? [Note: I will be contacting Landry's Corporate Office, as well as filing a Title III ADA Complaint with the DOJ, and the Texas Chapter of the ADA.]

You'll experience the inviting ambience we've enjoyed the minute you step along the courtyard then encounter welcoming and accommodating hostesses. You'll discover the same unique, rich, warm interior we discovered; an elegance to be appreciated, which bows to unpretentious Texas hospitality. You'll again be greeted by a helpful, charming, engaging waitperson. Our latest waitperson was Sami, a delightful young lady who tended to us as if we were her only table. You'll discover a menu with great selections with Chef Monty's personal flair and reasonably priced. If he can free himself, you'll most likely meet Monty, both owner and chef. It's hard to imagine a nicer guy unless it's Kyle, the manager! Palmer's atmosphere is suitable for casual conversation over a meal, for Sunday brunch, an anniversary, or a romantic date night. One of our favorite activities is evenings in the courtyard with wine and appetizers. Also, it's difficult to resist their desserts, by the way! Reservations are accepted on a limited basis, but "call ahead" is always available. There, I've said it. Against my better judgement, you now what I you know. The rest is up to you.

I came here for my graduation dinner, and overall the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, though I do…read moreagree with my family that the lighting was much too dark. The food portions were surprisingly small for the price -- honestly small enough for a toddler. However, i prefer the Graduate plate and I will say the mashed potatoes were incredible and probably the best I've had anywhere but the pot chop tasted like turkey and had no flavor. 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.

This is a fast casual spot -- you order at the counter, they give you a ticket, and call your name when it's ready. No tip required, and service was really kind. The owner was there and was super nice as well. Seating is pretty unique: two long wooden benches, so you might end up sitting close to other diners, but it makes for a lively, friendly environment. They also have three unique sauces worth calling out: a spicy mayo (pretty standard, but rich and delicious), a curry mayo (strong curry flavor in every bite -- not for everyone, but I loved it), and a wasabi mayo (never had this before, and it was honestly great -- strong wasabi flavor that paired really well with my dish). Chicken Teriyaki Bento ($10.50, 7/10) -Comes with a side of rice and ginger, both of which paired really well with the wasabi mayo -Portion size was relatively large -- left me full, but really only enough for one person -Topped with a crunchy garlic/panko crunch that paired nicely with the chicken -Teriyaki sauce on top was a little too salty; would've been better with less salt -They give you a water bottle on the side, which was much appreciated since everything ran on the salty side Overall, a great fast casual spot to hang out with friends and get good food at a good price. Really enjoyed their three sauces -- the mayo, wasabi, and curry were all unique, and I haven't seen that combo anywhere else. Great to see that adventurous side.
