Jack's Roadhouse is a great old style Texas bar. Friendly staff and patrons in a pretenious-free environment. Pool table, live music, and relaxing outdoor seating if you prefer fresh air. Wish we had been hungry so we could have tried the food truck but heard it was worth returning to check it out. Bartender made a mean hurricane, and the frozen margarita machine served up a nice dessert round! Drink prices were very reasonable.

Great place to get a drink. Bands regularly on weekends. Only wish Jack's would post a music lineup somewhere.

The scene here was kick ass, live music karaoke, a full bar, pool and other games definitely make this a very happening spot.

It's a dive. But it's also clean and airy. We had a blast throwing darts and drinking beer. They have a ring-on-a-string game out on the patio that is frustratingly addicting. Definitely a chill spot. They have live music sometimes, but we missed a full band. There was a guy with a guitar for about an hour playing on stage the night we went, though. I didn't eat, so I can't speak for the food.

Super tasty food! And awesome drinks. Just might be the best chicken tacos I’ve had in San Marcos hands down. The chef loaded it up with veggies too. My kind of taco. Will be back very very soon!

Caught the band A-Tx Rejects performing tonight. Nice change, great band. Drinks and wait staff were on point. Pool table and sone games. It was a nice night for the deck area. We will be back and hope to catch the same band here again at Jack's.

Meg and Kyle top tier. We had so much fun, spending the evening having a meal with each other but also these servers. They were so pleasant and kind, and we truly enjoyed our meal! Thank you!! This place will not disappoint!
