This is the place to be!! Our hour wait for a table spent strolling the strips, shopping around and enjoying the foot traffic. As soon as we were tired, everything got better. Anika was the lover. Sincere, informative, patient? Thank you for being the best part of our experience? My friend and I shared a moimosa, a veggie frittata, sausage with cookies and gravy, and a side of avocado toast. The meal was delicious, the room is jovial and delightful antique, and I can wait?t to go back!

Little GEM in San Marcos Texas! Your dishes are sooo delicious?! High-quality meal in budget! Very child-friendly. Waffles and chicken, the sauce is a sweet and spicy, grilled chicken burgers was very light and fresh, children Mac and cheese with fresh fruit.

This place was highly rated so we had to give it a shot. The wait was about 30 minutes so we walked around the surrounding shops. When we were seated the great server let us know they were running behind and in the event our food took a very long time, she?d make sure we got a free appetizer. At first glance i was super excited with the menu and went for one of the favorites, the pecan crusted bourbon chicken. My daughter had the chicken and waffles. The food didn?t take as long as anticipated so that was great. I was pretty unimpressed with my choice of the pecan crusted chicken. It tasted a little burnt and it just wasn?t what I?d been expecting. The garlic mashed potatoes were great though and helped pull it together. My daughter loved her plate sized waffle and chicken though! Overall great understanding staff. Maybe I?d try again with a different dish.

The Root Cellar Cafe is a delightful restaurant in the heart of historic downtown San Marcos. Wonderfully decorated and featuring good, healthy comfort food, it is a popular downtown spot. We ordered the salmon and pasta carbonara. The exquisite salmon with balsamic glaze was served with pilaf, sautéed vegetables, and eggplant chips. The chips were sweet and my personal favorite. The pasta carbonara was also very good. A 16-oz beer was just $7 which was also very sweet. We ended with the gluten-free Tart and Snickerdoodle bread pudding. Absolutely delicious. I need to mention that the service was very good. Our server was a delight and very attentive. Highly recommend!
