love it: spud ranch

With a name like Spud Ranch, you know this place has to be good. And it is. Casual, inexpensive, big portions, and delicioussss.

It has locations in San Marcos and New Braunfels. I first got hooked when I was as undergrad at Texas State. I went to the NB location for the first time today and am happy to report their second location hasn't lost any of that good mojo.

spicy chicken spud

My favorite menu items? The Cajun spud (andouille sausage, bell peppers, sauteed onions, butter, cheese, & Louisiana hot sauce), the Hot Wing spud (mild Buffalo-style hot wings, butter, cheese and ranch or blue cheese), the Classic (bacon, butter, sour cream, chives), and the fried pickles.

Don't like baked potatoes, weirdo? Well, they have sandwiches, salads and soups. Although you'd be better off going to Jason's Deli for that stuff, because Spud Ranch is all about the taters.
