You can be casual here, but it’s also a little “upscale” for that extra bit of pampering. The specialty is locally sourced fresh goodness which has been voted “Best Breakfast in Hays County” for five years in a row! This is definitely your place for brunch!

 

Since 2012, Cody’s has been the spot for a unique dining experience combined with great music, specialty craft cocktails and outstanding service. The owners are local and take personal pride in making sure you come back again and again. But let’s be honest, that probably won’t take much convincing one you’ve experienced Cody’s for yourself!

 

Originally constructed in the 1920’s, the renovated building captures the history of San Marcos, and you can dine in the courtyard which showcases many native Texas plant species. But more than that, this is one of San Marcos’ top-rated restaurants, voted “Top 10% in the World” by Trip Advisor! As you enjoy one of the hand-squeezed margaritas in this historic and peaceful setting, you’ll understand all that!

 

If you’re not really sure what you want, this can be your “We’ll-figure-it-out-once-we-get-there” place. There is something for all tastes and cravings, from salads and sandwiches, to pasta, ribs and Tex-Mex. While you are figuring out the food part, sit in the bar area and sample from the 50+ beer varieties while watching the game on one of several honkin-big TV’s!

 

Sometimes, nothing but Tex-Mex will do. Come choose from the standards of queso, salsa, enchiladas, burritos, and tacos, of course. Come check out the great lunch specials! We don’t have to remind you about the margaritas, do we?

 

They’ve been around since 1975, so they must be doing something right! From firsthand experience, we can confirm they are! There’s lots of room inside but treat yourself to the ambiance of the beautiful outside deck shaded by stately Texas hardwoods. Then, just wait for the friendly staff to bring you some of the best “comfort food” you’ve ever had! Have a bucket of frosty long-necked beers to go with your onion rings as you anticipate the arrival of your Chicken Fried Chicken, Catfish Platter or Turkey Bacon Sandwich! Hey, somebody ate some of my green beans!

 

So you need your Texas barbeque fix, huh? Nothing fancy, just your mouth-watering brisket, ribs, pork, turkey, chicken and sausage packaged in combos, sandwiches, and family specials. The sides are so good you could make a meal out of just those, but you wouldn’t do that! Then there’s cheesecake, peach cobbler, pecan pie and banana pudding. Bring your stretchy pants!

 

With a name like “The Taproom”, you’d figure they’d be pretty good at satisfying your beer tastes, and they certainly are with over 36 drafts showcasing both local and international flavors. But they done gone and got famous for their specialty burgers, like the Mushroom Swiss, Fat Mac, and Guacamole Queso, all sitting on top of a full half-pound of ground beef goodness! It’s no accident The Taproom got voted “Best Happy Hour in Hays County”!

 

Immerse yourself in the history of downtown while enjoying a variety of classics for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. If you are new to Texas, let this be your place to experience the rich flavors of huevos rancheros, migas, or chicken fried steak and eggs. If the weather is nice, enjoy all this in a beautiful outdoor setting.

 

More of a European feel here, with offerings such as Eggs Benedict, Pearl Sugar Belgian Waffles, Black Bean Salad, and Mushroom Crepes, using organic and locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy Happy Hour in their relaxing courtyard.

 

Come soak up the scenery overlooking the San Marcos River. If you prefer that others do all the getting wet, stay dry on the deck and enjoy such timeless favorites as Chopped Hamburger Steak, River Pub Ribeye, Smothered Grilled Chicken, or a fresh and crispy salad if that is your preference. Just have fun here, everything else takes care of itself!

 

As the name implies, if this is the fare you are looking for, you’ll find it here. From the wide variety of sushi delicacies to your traditional soups, tempura, rice, Lo Mein, and full entrees, any craving will be satisfied.

 

You can get your traditional Tex-Mex here, after all, who can resist good Tex-Mex? Even if you are not hungry, you need to come here for the margaritas! But don’t just ask for a margarita, you’ll need to specify the Pina Rita, or the Ghost Pepper Rita, or the Pineapple Serrano Rita, or the…you get the idea! Oh yeah, regular or grande?
