The Tap Room

The Tap Room is one of my favorite places in the world to eat. It's hard to order a single thing on the menu that isn't, at least, good. Last week, my girlfriend, her friend, and I went to grab a bite and some beers. It did not disappoint at all. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was perfect for a pub with old beer advertisements adorning the walls and random crap collecting dust up behind the bar. And like any good pub there are 5 large TV's tuned into sports at almost any hour. Now all of this sounds like it would make for a great place to hang out, but I haven't even gotten to the best parts (food and beer). The Tap Room sports one of, if not the, largest beer menu's in San Marcos with at least 50 beers to choose from. If you can't find a beer you like at the Tap Room, you never will (if you don't generally like the taste of beer, try a "beer blend" like the "Preachers Collar" or the "Snakebite". Both have a sweeter taste that is not beerlike at all).

Now for the important stuff. The claim I am about to make may sound crazy, but I stand by it 100%. The best burger in the entire world is at the Tap Room. True, I haven't had every burger in the entire world, but I am fully confident in making this claim. The name of the best burger in the entire world is "The Works Burger". Now I could go on for another 1500 words describing all the great things about the Works Burger, but I will cut it down a bit. There are grilled mushrooms, onions, and jalepanos along with two types of cheese all on a slightly sweety bun. It's just too good to describe. Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. It's just so tasty. Just go try it. It's perfect. Yum.

Alright so now that that's out of the way, the other stuff you can order that is almost as good is: the Philly Cheesesteak (Amazing), the chicken parmigian sandwich, and the perfect in every way wedge fries. They also have very good (and spicy) queso that should not be missed. Basically, if you go to San Marcos, stay for a few days and eat here a few times. Its just that good. Go now.
