Kerbey Lane Cafe Is Opening in San Marcos at the Texas State University | Eater Austin

"Expanding into San Marcos as part of Texas State University, the 24/7 diner chain will take over the Saltgrass Steakhouse space at 221 Sessom Drive under a ten-year lease approved by the university system's board; this will be the chain's second non‑Austin location after Round Rock. Founded in 1980 in a small house on Kerbey Lane, the family‑owned operation now runs eight Austin-area locations (many open 24 hours) and has adapted to coronavirus by temporarily closing dining rooms and shifting to drive‑thru, takeout, delivery, and mobile ordering where available." - Nadia Chaudhury

What an amazing restaurant! A true gem in San Marcos!! Located on the river, the views were beautiful and the inside was really wonderful with floor to ceiling windows. We sat right over the waterfall! We tried to get lunch during day 2 of move it but it was super busy so returned for a late breakfast after our hotel check out and had no wait! Our waitress, Riley, was fantastic! Super friendly and knowledgeable we ordered what she recommended and we're not disappointed!! The food was A+, the Crispy Chicken Benedict and the Peach Cobler pancakes were outstanding! It was so good when our daughter texted she and her new roommate were hungry, we left the restaurant, picked them up and drove right back so they too could enjoy what had!!

Awesome spot for brunch or comfort food. The pancakes are huge and delicious. Great patio with river views, so try to get a table outside or by the window. It's a fun, laid-back setting, and the whole menu is served all day. It's really busy on the weekends so service is a little slow and parking is scarce.

Great experience from the second we walked in the door. Food was incredible and our server, Balinda was so accommodating!! She brought out 4 sauces for us to try with the migas and put the creamer for the cold brew on the side, knowing how particular people can be with their milk to cold brew ratios. She was awesome and the view above the waterfall at headwaters was gorgeous. 10/10 experience

For our first visit to Kerbey Lane Cafe, we had breakfast out on the patio to enjoy the river view. All of our items tasted great, and we decided to visit the next day for brunch. Service was excellent both days, and both times there was no wait at all. We will definitely visit when we are back in town.

First time coming here and will definitely be back again! Food was delicious and actually fresh. The location was beautiful. And our server Addie B, was the best service we’ve had in San Marcos, she was so nice, attentive, and knowledgeable about the restaurant. This experience was so refreshing!

We had a lovely Mother’s Day brunch at Kerbey Lane! I ordered the Kerbey Lane Combo — it was delicious and perfectly satisfying. My husband and son both had breakfast platters, and they really enjoyed them too. We sat on the patio, and the weather was beautiful — the perfect setting for a relaxing morning. While the service wasn’t the best (our waiter could’ve been more attentive), the quality of the food and time spent together made it a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

This place was amazing! I had the Cobb Salad and it was sooo good. The Wagu Meatloaf was amazing as well. The scenery was stunning. Prices were not too high. Just an awesome experience.

We had a wonderful time at Kerbey Lane Cafe! Our server Jordan was friendly and fast, the food was amazing (we had the Black Cherry Pork Chops and the seasonal Salmon Curry and Shishito Peppers), and we had a great view of people splashing around in the water of San Marcos River. Would absolutely recommend, and we will be back thanks to Jordan, Katie, and the whole team!
