This casual old-school tavern has huge delicious cheeseburgers for $13, quirky staff, and great vibes. They had the back door open letting in a cool Spring breeze. The perfect place to get dinner and work on our DND characters!

May the 4th be with you! (Better late than never!) Huge, creative burgers and delicious tap beer was on our menu, and The Taproom brought it. We enjoy eating here when we make it to San Marcos, and it never disappoints. Unfortunately, we were so hungry that I didn't snap any photos of our food before we ate it all. I had my fave, the Guacamole Queso burger, and the hubbs tried out the Fat Mac, complete with mac-and-cheese right on his burger. YUM!

I love this place! Hasn’t changed since I’ve left Texas State. The bartenders are friendly and the food is amazing. If you are a beer lover, this is the place to drink in San Marcos. Always a classic. This place has 4.5 average stars for a reason.

Warm. Laid-back. Seat yourself kinda Dine-In joint. Staff was welcoming but seemed overwhelmed so I didn’t take any side glances or lazy hand swipes personal as they told us to sit where we liked. Atnosphere. Cozy Cabin with screens on each wall showing sports, news, and/or action films. Lots of seating with just enough room to maneuver one at a time. The staff are helpful if wheelchair accessibility is needed. It’s like a sports den more than a sports bar as they have a variety of food and drinks as well as have game nights. It’s a great place for gatherings, meetings, and meetups for game day. We weren’t fond of the chips and queso appetizer as we kinda are addicted to Kerbey Queso, lol. But the entrees were a home run! I got the Guacamole Queso Burger and the hubby got the BBQ Cheddar with chips. We shared a portion of each and it was delicious! The cheese was melted on the buttery bun and complimented the spices of the burger with the fresh toppings of bacon, lettuce, and onion. The chips tasted like they were made, not bought had they were lightly salted and had a natural crisp to it. Overall. Great place to hangout for an old school, down to earth burger and a cold one.

Came into another seat yourself restaurant, my eyes met with the waiter like 4 time but she claims she never saw me, so I was waiting for about 5-10 minutes but other than that the server was nice. The food was delicious I had the bacon blue squared which is a blue cheese burger and it was delicious and I got potato wedges (JoJo's for my NW people) which wasn't bad but I wish they seasoned them.

Saw an ad for this on FB saying it had the best burgers in the county, so we had to try it out. If you know parking in this area, you will be happy to know there is parking in the back just for the Tap Room. The atmosphere is fantastic. Love all of the old taps lining the walls. Then you have the wall of beer to peruse, and if you can decide what to get, your server is more than happy to help you out. If you don't want beer, they also have a full bar to make something more to your liking. I ordered the blue cheese bacon burger without the blue cheese. My spouse got the Philly burger. The burgers were both presented well and led great. Both were well seasoned and very juicy. We truly enjoyed our lunch. The food, service and atmosphere are great, it is a bit pricy so be prepared for that. We will be back.

This is the second time I've been here and it was just as good the second time! Nice staff, great burgers, clean restrooms and a chill atmosphere. The only thing that really draws me back is a particular smell I noticed both times I have visited. It smells like a gas leak but surely it can't be that since the staff and other people didn't seem to be bothered by it. Over all, I certainly would say I recommend this place if you are in the mood for a good burger! 🍔🍟

Good service and drinks. Lots of beers on tap. The food was good but not great. The chicken on the salad was a bit over cooked and the onion rings were were too thick. The burger was great, no complaints there.

Vast beer selection!! Really good burgers w/lots of toppings options and sides. I had the Blue cheese burger, 1/2 lb burger with steak cut crinkle fries that were crispy and well seasoned. Friendly staff and quick service stopped on a slow lunch break. The place can get packed in the evening and on weekends, be careful about parking people get towed frequently.

Parking is not easy i will start off with that. The food is good and the dining area is full of energy. The service was good too. I will come back. This place is known for their burgers.

Went on a slow Sunday afternoon with a total of 9. I got the GOAT burger, which was overall good. The goat cheeses added a nice tangy touch, but the hot honey didn’t mix as well with the other flavors for me. Overall it was a decent burger that I was reasonably happy with. My biggest issue is that they refuse to split checks on parties of 6 or more. We didn’t know this until after we had ordered and received our food (apparently it’s listed on the menu, but none of us saw it, and it’s a pretty large and busy menu). There were MAYBE 4 other people there that day, so it’s not like they were busy. We were a group of people who had only meet once or twice before, so trying to figure out who was going to pay, and how to reimburse them was awkward. They force an 18% or 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more, so they ended up with something like a $50 tip for our table, but couldn’t be bothered to split the check on a slow day? It’s just poor service. It feels like they just knew they’d get a decent tip regardless of the effort they put in and didn’t care. Overall the food was fine, and I wouldn’t mind going again for their food, but the service left a poor taste in my mouth.

My husband and I came here about a month ago, and we agreed that we had the best burger ever. Today we decided to come back, and it was such a disappointment.First, the meat was way overcooked, but that was not the main issue. I ordered the G.O.A.T. burger with an additional fig jam, and it did not come with it. I asked the server whether she had actually ordered the jam, and she said it was spread on the bun—but it was not. The jam adds a sweet flavor that was completely absent. The first time we came, it was impossible not to notice it, and this time it was clearly forgotten.I did not argue and paid for it anyway, even though it was not there. To my surprise, the menu lists the jam for $0.75, but I was charged $1.00. It’s not about the amount, but about the lack of interest in making the customer happy. The server should have brought me extra jam when I mentioned it, but instead she ignored my concern and charged more for something I didn’t even receive.
