    Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by this small restaurant close to Schlitterbahn waterpark. The restaurant is very small but they make up for it with BIG potatoes. The staff is very friendly and helpfully offered recommendations. I went with the Chicken Fried Steak Spud and my girlfriend had the Brisket Spud. Both were absolutely MASSIVE and delicious! Absolutely would recommend to anybody looking for a delicious lunch while at the water park!

    Place was clean, service was kind and enthusiastic. And my potato was good- they had so many kinds to choose from. I just wish the tables had salt shakers, the little packets were killing me. I'd go back.

    We stopped at this location after floating the river. It was a delicious decision! The baked potatoes were amazing. I got to taste a few flavors off my friends' potato dishes. The chicken Parm was good, the traditional tasted like your best baked potatoes from home should taste. I totally enjoyed a Texas Bacon Cheeseburger, which was pretty good and well deserving of its award recognition. Let me tell you, these guys know they've cornered the market on their baked potatoes - and they're pretty good at it. Spuds Ranch offers a kids menu... the usual, mac and cheese; grilled cheese, and chicken tenders. My kids topped off their Lili Russet meals with some grilled cheese sandwiches and fries. They went back for their assortment of Blue Bell Ice Cream for dessert. You put in your order, and you get your food quickly and with friendly service. Plenty of parking in the back. If you crave a baked potato, this is your place in New Braunfels.

    This place is a gem!! I regret not coming here sooner but now that I've had a taste of the yumminess they serve, I'll be back... OFTEN!! The sweet girl who took our order was very helpful letting us know her favorites and popular items. It was very clean inside! There was a couple eating next to us and as soon as they left, the table was wiped. Everything sounded enticing while reading the menu. I couldn't decide what I wanted to try so I ordered multiple items. It was just my husband and I and we had the fried okra (which btw was AMAZING) served hot and fresh out of the grease was the perfect starter, the steak sandwich and fresh cut fries (the steak was so flavorful and tender) that were not processed and were cut from fresh potatoes, the chicken spud (it was HUGE) that packed with flavorful tender chicken pieces and the Texas cheeseburger. Everything was great but I'd have to say my favorites were definitely the steak sand sandwich and the okra. They also have drive thru for those who are unaware like I was. I'd definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for delicious food made hot and fresh. You will not be disappointed.

    Chili Cheeseburger Spud was well done. A little pricy, but tasty.

    Solid menu and stick to your ribs food. The meal was enjoyable and staff was friendly. Only drawback was the flies. Maybe it was because we sat close to the soda fountain, but there isn't much of a choice in the space offered. I know that bugs fly in and it can be expected, but to be hassled by flies during the entire meal was not appetizing.

Unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations. Upon checking in, we were initially directed to a table that had not been cleaned. When my boyfriend politely asked if we could be seated at a booth that was currently being cleared, the host initially agreed. However, she then seated two other guests, who were white and had arrived after us at that same booth. Given the circumstances and the subsequent request to wait for a different table, this incident opened our eyes to potential racial bias, and we felt it was best to leave and dine elsewhere. I believe your host staff would benefit from additional training regarding equitable service and professional conduct. It is truly a shame that our visit was handled in this manner, as we had hoped for a much more welcoming evening. I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that it helps improve your service for future guests.

    WOW. I'm not even sure where to start. We just had two hot chicken sandwiches that were so good,…read moreI'm pretty sure time stopped the moment we took our first bites. Not to be dramatic, but I would fight a bear to relive that moment. I'm not exaggerating. With that first bite, my soul briefly left my body. Angels wept. A single beam of light descended from the heavens and landed directly on my plate. Somewhere in the distance, a bald eagle screeched. I don't know who or what was in the back of that food truck cooking that sandwich, but I'm thinking it must have been God himself. I'm kicking myself for staying in the truck to be a passenger princess while my husband got out and ordered. Seriously guys, every bite made me weak in the knees--like, I had to steady myself against the table as I ate. My husband and I looked at each other dead in the eyes after the first bite, and we both just sat there in stunned silence, chewing like we were in the final scene of a romance movie. Im embarrassed to share the sounds we were making with every bite. Let's just say if someone had walked past us, they would've 100% assumed something deeply inappropriate was happening. Like, WHAT IS IN THIS FREAKING SANDWICH?! The crunch. The heat. The sauce. Omg the sauce. I will be dreaming about that sauce for the rest of my life. Now, I have to admit, as with all good things, there is also sorrow. And the sorrow hit hard. Because as I took my last bite of that heaven-sent sandwich, I realized: I will never again experience the first bite of that perfect sandwich ever again. Never. Sure, I can return every single day for the rest of my life, but that first moment. It's gone. And it's never coming back. But, as the wise once said, it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. So do yourself a favor, go get this sandwich, and you can thank me later as you rise into the heavens with that first bite.

The wife and I had heard great things about it, so we took little trip. We arrived and perused the menu outside of the truck. A lot of delicious looking things on the menu. Burgers, birria tacos, yummy looking fries, lots of good stuff. Near the front of the truck a separate menu saying it was burger week, so we opted to try a burger. A friendly face, presumed to be the owner, greeted us and took our order. The wife ordered a single patty smash burger with all of the fixin's to include jalapeños for $15. I noticed a breakfast burger on the menu, so I inquired what was on it. One patty, cheese, a fried egg, bacon, and a hash brown patty. All of my favorite things on one burger. Also, for $16, that seemed like a good deal. In good time, we were summoned to the truck for our order. The fella who took my order informed me he had forgotten to let me know that a spicy strawberry jelly came on my burger as well and asked if that was ok. I am generally not a big fan of jelly, so I politely declined. Unfortunately, the burger was already made, so he requested the cook to remake the burger. Not wanting to wait for another burger I told them I would give it a try. He insisted remaking it would not be a problem, but I opted to try it anyhow. We strolled back to the house and got right to it. I grabbed my burger and forgot about the fried egg. The egg popped and seeped all on the plate before I got a bite. Whoops. Anyhow, the first few bites of my burger were delicious. Juicy, and seasoned very well. Bacon was cooked right and was not rubbery. The hash brown was also a great addition and tasty. About the third bite I got the strawberry jelly. The jelly was good, but it overpowered the burger. The sweetness distracted me from the juicy burger, and annoyed my tastebuds. I tried to scrape the jelly off of the burger, but the burger was saturated with it. I ate about half of the burger and gave up on it. My hands were also very sticky, so I had to stop eating it because it was just too much. I finished eating my fries and watched my wife finish her burger. To be fair, they did offer to remake it. So, the jelly fiasco is on me. I own up to that, and will not ding this review because of it. That being said, I cannot wait for them to visit my neighborhood again. I definitely will be having them again. The food was great, and I loved the whole food truck vibe. If you see this guy in your neighborhood, give them a try. Shop local, and keep these guys in business. Enjoy!

Our server, Betty, was absolutely wonderful! She welcomed us as soon as we sat down, was very kind and attentive, and explained that there may be a longer wait because they had several large groups and were also trying out a new system. We completely understood and appreciated her communicating that with us. Unfortunately, our interaction with another employee named darrell was very disappointing. My wife politely asked him for a couple of napkins. The first time, he completely ignored her without even acknowledging that she had spoken to him. She asked again, and while still facing away from her, he responded, "I heard you the first time. I'm dealing with something." I completely understand that the restaurant was busy and that employees can become overwhelmed, but there was absolutely no reason to speak to a customer that way. Even a simple, "I heard you, give me just a moment please," would have been completely understandable. I don't know if he was having a bad day or dealing with something stressful, but customers should still be treated with basic respect. Betty and the assistant manager, on the other hand, provided amazing service and were both extremely polite and welcoming. We really appreciated them. I just hope management addresses the way darrell speaks to customers because that interaction definitely put a damper on an otherwise decent experience. My ONLY reason for the 2 stars
