My husband and I eat breakfast/brunch here several times each month. We love to patron local restaurants and find The Groove is perfect for a casual meal. Service is friendly.

I had their chicken pesto sandwich. Very good. Their pasta salad though, absolutely delicious! Cute place to have lunch.

Our new favorite brunch spot in San Marcos! Stopped by here while driving through. We shared the steak and eggs Benedict and the corned beef hash. Everything was delicious and went well together. Perfectly seasoned. We'll be coming back to try other menu items for sure. Decor is nice and staff is courteous.

Love this place. The ambiance is cool and laid back.The servers are super sweet and friendly and make you feel right at home. The food is really tasty and made to order. They have weekly specials that are always worth trying out. I never leave disappointed. Everyone works as a team to make sure you have a pleasant experience. If you haven't already, go check out The Groove!

The service was awful. We waited for about 2 hours and they never served us. How long does it take to make breakfast? It's now lunch and I was still waiting. I left...never ever again!

First time here. Looked for a breakfast/brunch spot near the San Marcos Premium Outlets and Google suggested this place. As you turn into the parking lot, looks like you are going to an auto repair shop. When you go inside, it is a nice, quaint eatery. Our server, Maddie, was very sweet. They were playing 80s music from a large speaker with lights on it. Almost looked like a jukebox. Food was good, too. Thanks for the suggestion Google!

Amazing food, great service, fun ambience! Healthy delicious and wish there was one in San Antonio. We would go every day! :)

So I recently tried their brunch with my boyfriend and was so impressed I absolutely had to try their dinners options, boy was I even more excited when on my ride home all I could do was smell the amazing aromas coming from the bags. Their meat loaf definitely hits the craving when you want something that tastes like home and their salmon crostini app is awesome! Oh and the food was done quickly! I will definitely be coming back

Nice folks. Menu has some good choices. Chicken was a bit tough. Seating can be a challenge but works with the space. Nice to have such a place on Hunter Road

Working in area my colleague and I wanted something light for lunch and found this place through Yelp and it's a surprising gem.Housed in what looks like an industrial site, inside is a cute little restaurant with lovely, friendly servers. They focus on simple and healthier dishes that are very competitively priced!Had a simple but delicious berry salad with walnuts and goats cheese which was delicious and came with a tangy dressing! Also had a side of their pasta salad which was loaded with a great pesto flavor!Loved the setting, food and friendly atmosphere!
So... I'm pretty conflicted as I write this. Let me start by saying that what I'm eating right now, IS tasty... BUT, it's definitely not as described on the menu. I ordered to-go from inside the store. I got the Garden Bowl and added steak. I will say, it was my assumption, given the listed ingredients, that this was served cold. It is not. It is a warm bowl, which is fine but ultimately not what I was looking for. The steak is more like a thin flank steak, but it is seasoned well and is tender. It's good. I asked for my bowl to have no red peppers and it was prepared correctly. So what's wrong? Well, I'm missing the quinoa, I'm missing the chickpeas, I'm missing the sesame seeds. Half the ingredients are warm and half are cold (the onion, avocado and cucumber). It came with a dressing to put on there... I'm just not sure what is going on here. The sautéed Arugula is weird and to be honest some of the ingredients seem frozen and canned. This dish, with big pieces of charred broccoli, and corn and blistered tomatoes, that had been chilled, with the freshness of everything else being cold and the dressing, would be amazing. What I received fell really really short. And while the steak was good, I would expect about two more slices for +6 dollars I paid to add on. That made this an almost $20 for a incomplete dish. All this to say, I will go back and give them another try. My daughter got a meal replacement shake and she said it was really good.

Yelp did us another solid for lunch today. This little gem is a home run. Let me start by saying, trendy and flavorful. A wonderful combination.We tried the the following.1. Philly Cheese cake2. Garden Bowl2. Avocado Benedict.The Philly cheesesteak was delicious but the highlight was the Avocado Benedict with a side of potatoes. Talk about Devine. Other worldly goodness. The potatoes are the best I've had. The Garden Bowl was tasty. It was served warm which through me off as I thought I was ordering a salad. This place is a must try. I'm usually in town for a conference once or twice a year and you can bet on me coming back, sooner rather than later. I believe I heard the staff mention they will open for dinner on the weekends soon. Mouth watering thinking about what soon to be goodness they will infuse into San Marcos.6 stars!

I came a little bit later around 12ish the place is small and has a very calm atmosphere. Ordered the Pesto Sandwich and a kids Pancake for my sister. Pancake was pretty good size for a kids plate, the pesto sandwich had tons of flavor. The service was simple and easy, you order at the front and sit yourself and grab your own drink (unless it's a soda or tea etc.) They were also very helpful with ordering the meal prep options, which tasted VERY great. I had the Hawaiian Beef Bowl, and BBQ Chicken bowl.Overall great experience, food tasted great, and service was good. Will definitely be back

Love this great little spot in San Marcos. Great Food, great retro-vibe, staff is young and engaged... Our new Breakfast and Lunch spot for great tasting quality breakfast and lunch. Vanilla Latte was very good, Steak and Egg Benedict was just right and the grilled red potatoes were awesome. Groovy Breakfast Special was spot on. Check out their menu...

I was visiting the area and needed a quick bite. I stopped here to place a pickup order. The server who took my order was nice enough. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and it comes with chips. The food took about 15 minutes to come out. Overall it was a good sandwich that has lots of flavor. I substituted chip for potato. The potatoes were good. They weren't seasoned well but with ketchup and hot sauce , it's alright.The only issue I had was the workers were a little absent and my food came out and sat for about 5-10 additional minutes. No one was available so it just sat there.
