Ordered the turkey and bacon spud, got this diced,compressed, salty mystery meat instead. Turkey on menu is advertised as sliced! I suppose service was fast since they forgot to add the real sliced turkey. read more

I was heading to the Cowboy's house to watch some football and I wanted to bring food, so I suggested loaded baked potatoes to pick up on my way over. I got the Chicken Fried Steak loaded potato and he got the hot wing potato. The food was ready immediately once I arrived and was wrapped up well for the road. When I got to my location, we took out the potatoes to go to town and were surprised they were still nice and warm. Oh...my...goodness. The chicken fried steak potato was PERFECT! Big cubes of seasoned and breaded fried steak smothered in white pepper gravy and cheese all over the potato...it was like mashing up your steak and potatoes and gravy all at once and going to town. My god it works so well. I can't believe I questioned how it would taste. And the hot wing potato was just out of this world. Loaded fried chunks of TENDER breaded chicken breast tossed/drenched in the best hot wing sauce covering the entire potato and then dressed all with ranch and bleu cheese...it was just so good. Chicken breast can be dry AF and they managed to keep it tender for this. Way to go. You may think some of these flavor combinations won't work well, but trust me...they do. Just don't think too much and order. You're gonna love it. A perfect relaxed date night meal for football season. read more

This is a tiny space in a strip mall with hard to see signage. Be careful or you will miss it! Started with a side salad. Iceberg lettuce, but abundant bacon crumbles which were good. Croutons and dressing good as well. Fairly large but over $5? Quesadilla spud large with chicken, onions, Bell peppers, butter and sour cream. Piping hot and a really solid meal. Unlike one prior reviewer, I found the sweet tea fine but not spectacular. Steady stream of to-go orders indicate I am not alone in liking the food. Now the price, including a 15%tip, was $26! Yikes. If I could have made 2 meals out of it that would have helped justify the cost but it wasn't THAT big. Minus a star for value. Clean place, helpful server and moderately numerous parking spots in the tiny Mall's lot. Right by Texas State campus. read more

This place is tiigghhht. Lol and as that I mean it was small inside. It started to get a little busy and we could all barely move around eachother when leaving. girl cashier was not very helpful or nice. Noticed she was nice and patient with others though.. potato was well cooked and tasted good with the hot wing in it. The burger had good flavor to it and fries were good . Mac and cheese was delicious! I recommend this place for lunch or dinner and to take to go! I do think it will be a little pricey as well.. they charge separately for pretty much everything. read more

Great place to get a baked potato. My favorite is the bbq brisket spud. Very friendly environment.

Spuds were just ok, but took 26 min from placing an online order to rdy for pickup at 6:15p on a Friday (8 min longer than projected).

The baked potato are really good. They are Texas sized. They have a variety of baked potatoes, that will fill your appetite. Cashier made great recommendations. I ordered the chicken fried chicken baked potato. It came loaded with gravy, butter and Texas toast. The bread was toasted to perfection and crispy with lots of lots of butter. My wife ordered the hot wing ranch spud with homemade ranch. She said it was delicious, hot and spicy! Our child got the cheese ranch spud loaded with shredded cheddar cheese. With 3 drinks it was $35 with tax. read more

Just rediscovered spud ranch after moving back to San Marcos, and it's just as filling and yummy as i remember! The spuds are huge and you'll definitely be full. We like the get the Mac and cheese spud & the brisket spud, so good! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! You have not had a baked potato until you've had one from this ranch. The flavor combinations make it hard to pick just one but I had the brisket baked potato and it did not disappoint. Mom had the chicken & broccoli spud and both potatoes were ginormous! Fluffiest baked potato I have ever had and the fixings were plentiful. We also enjoyed chatting with our server, Naielle(I'm sure I've misspelled her name,sorry). She was super sweet and witty. We will be back here at the ranch for another spud round-up very soon. read more

Came here with my family for dinner about a week ago. The cashier was friendly and place seemed clean. We had a plain spud and a bbq brisket one. Brisket was not flavorful and tasted like it came from a package. I would not order that one again. We had sweet tea which was hardly sweet and tasted old and moldy. I'm guessing the container needed a good scrub. They even replaced it upon me saying it wasn't fresh and the new tea tasted the same. I may come back to try other spuds but definitely won't be trying the tea again. I saw quite a few people come in for to-go orders. By the looks of it maybe other spuds are better. read more

We got a chicken fried steak baked potato and an order of Chili Cheese Fries, both were tasty. The baked potato was large and had plenty of steak and gravy. The fries were fresh cut, cooked fresh and smothered in a flavorful creamy chili. We would definitely return to the Spud Ranch for a meal read more

I'd completely forgotten about this hidden gem off Aquarena in San Marcos. They have a wide selection of gigantic potatoes. Recently I ordered the Veggie Spud. My spud was delivered hot and stuffed with a variety of veggies. read more

Excellent food and service! The potatoes were huge, baked to perfection. We enjoyed our lunch very much.

Walked in before closing and the man ahead of me (with whom I walked in) placed and was served his to-go order. When he left, the cashier took my order and I was then informed the kitchen was closed. I walked past the people still eating to leave. It was super extra charming to see the OPEN sign still lit as I left the parking lot. read more

When we are craving some cheat meals this is our place ! Super filling and so good! We also like to get mozzarella sticks

I ordered the chicken fried chicken spud. Quality of food delish, steaming hot/fresh, and good portions. Good eat but did not really satisfy my craving. Next time I will try the Frito Pie or Teriyaki Chicken. read more

I've only visited the New Braunfels location and it's been a fantastic experience every time. The spuds are excellent, but the burgers are just as good so don't miss out by only focusing the spuds. We had a chance to interact with the owners and they came across as great people who truly care about their business, customer and employees. This place is a regular stop for us when we want something reliably good. read more

We got take-out during covid. My brother and I split a Mac + cheese spud. It was good, but could have used a little less butter. We also got fries and fried mushrooms, which were both good and clearly fresh out of the fryer. No complaints for a quick stop! read more

clean restaurant amazing food friendly staff and affordable prices thank you so much

I've always wanted to try this place and I'm glad I had my chance. Different ways to enjoy a gianornous spud. I tried the BBQ brisket spud and it was huge. My hubby and I split it and we were stuffed. Definitely a great place to enjoy a hearty baked potato with a variety of toppings to chose from. I will be back! read more

Oh My Goodness!!!! These were this best baked potatoes I've had in literally 40 years! Service was wonderful and quick. I could have shared it, but didn't. Sooo good. read more

Great food!!! Most of the people who work there are very kind too! I prefer taking my door to go as the restaurant is pretty small.

Good food at a good price. Potatoes are bigger than Elvis' heart. The variety is vast. I had a steamed veggie. It was great! There's enough leftover to make soup tomorrow!. The staff is friendly. Seating is extremely limited. read more

Prices are much higher than they were a couple years ago . Spuds went from about 7.5 to 12.50. The online menu did not have prices and I got a big surprise when I arrived to pick up my order! The food was pretty good though. read more

A favorite from my college days!! I still come for their Buffalo chicken spud!! Really big portions!

You can definitely tell this is a college kids spot, small, tiny room so limited seating. There is more than just spuds, they have sandwiches too, but there are some great toppings on these baked potatoes. If you are looking for a cool spot, head on over, take care getting into and out of the parking lot. read more

The food here is delicious. Delicious. I highly recommend the country fried steak spud. The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because of the facility. The tiny shop is easy to miss and grungy. I had a sticky table and another time the soda machine was down. Do order from here, but maybe Togo? read more

Talk about hidden gem. This restaurant is located on aquarena springs and if you are coming from I-35 it is the last strip center on the left before you reach Bobcat Stadium. You have to look carefully because the place itself is pretty small. Everyday they offer a "daily Spud" which is one of their award winning potatoes with a variety of toppings, plus a drink for a total of 8$ plus tax. The first time I went in I had the brisket spud which I highly recommend. I've also had the chicken fried steak spud, and chicken broccoli and cheese spud. Both are very good as well. Each time I've gone in it has taken less than 10 minutes to receive my order, and when I leave I am FULL. The potatoes are extremely big. I also recommend going to eat there earlier in the day so you can try their brownies. They only make a certain amount each day and they run out quickly. I had the caramel brownie... Talk about perfection. They also have more than just potatoes. For example sandwiches, burgers and other things... That I can't remember. They have 6 tables, and two of them are good far large groups (7-9 people). The eating area is clean and well kept up with. read more

Love Spud Ranch! I wish they would develop a chain of this concept! There's a location in New Braunfels and at San Marcos so it's a real treat when I get to make it out there. If you're a lover of potatoes this is the your heaven. Main entrees are baked potatoes stuffed with anything you like. They do have set choices like the philly cheese steak. Appetizers include jalapeño poppers, tots, fried mushrooms, and more. Service is fast and food usually comes out within minutes. Potatoes are super hot so be careful of burning your tongue. There's options where you can create your own baked potato but I think it's cheaper to go with one of the set menus. I usually get the Philly cheesesteak since beef is my favorite meat. Beef is really tender and kept warm by the potato. The one in San Marcos wasn't the best in service though. I asked for extra cheese and I didn't find any. I went back to the register to get extra butter and also told them I didn't find extra cheese. The lady said it was on the bottom of my potato. She also charged me for the butter ($.49). I searched through the potato and nothing was there. Only what was sprinkled on top was it. I had better service at New Braunfels location! read more

RESTAURANT INSPECTION DEMERITS: 6 (2/1/2012) It's been a couple of years since I've eaten here, but Spud Ranch impressed me as incredibly overpriced for what you get. I've checked their current menu prices, and the same can be said today. At the time, a baked potato with cheese, jalapenos, sour cream, butter, pico de gallo and beef fajita meat along with a bottomless drink and including free chips and salsa could be had elsewhere in town for under $5. An equivalent beef fajita spud here with large drink and a bag of chips set me back nearly $10! The food was fine, but it's just not reasonably priced. Remember that, at the heart of the transaction, is an inexpensive potato. Ever price one at HEB? read more

Was visiting Austin, went tubing in San Marcos, was incredibly hungry after tubing so stopped by Spud Ranch. Very tiny place. Menu consisted of different types of baked potatoes from chicken fried steak baked potato to vegetable baked potato. I had a hard time choosing one because they all sounded so good and flavorful. I ended up getting chicken enchilada baked potato and my boyfriend got a philly baked potato. Both very good! Loved it. They also have burgers and sandwiches incase a baked potato isn't enough for you. read more

I really like this little restaurant! I eat here nearly everytime I am in San Marcos. The potatoes are LARGE, FILLED with TOPPINGS and VERY DELICIOUS!! Today, I wasn't sure which to choose from, but I decided on the Brisket Spud. This one has butter (I always get extra), BBQ Brisket, grilled onions and Cheese. Not only was it very delicious looking, it tasted amazing! The people that work here are very friendly and helpful. They smile, still say thanks, and seem to really care if you are having a good meal. GREAT PLACE to eat! read more

Ordered the same thing I always get (crispy BBQ spud, no onions, add sour cream) plus their French fries through their online delivery system. Awesome food as always! The delivery service was on par too, no problems there. This was my first time trying their fries and they were delicious, less than $2 and a good amount for what you pay for -- just like with their spuds! read more

I really wish there was a location in Austin so I didn't have to make the drive but it is so worth it for this place read more
