“For me, a baked potato is the most delicious…It is soothing and enough.”

M.F.K. Fisher

A baked potato is a potato that has been baked before eating. Once it is cooked, it should have a fluffy interior and a crisp skin. It is often served with condiments such as butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, ranch, salt and pepper, different kinds of meats, etc.

During my first semester of college, I went to different restaurants trying to find the best baked potato. I tried many barbecue places because they usually have the best meats to put inside of the potato.

However, one day after practice, my boyfriend brought home a large white to-go container. It was a baked potato. It looked like a million dollars. It was perfect, it had melted cheese, brisket, butter, salt and pepper, and ranch on it. I was shocked because I had never seen the name on the bag before. It was called “Spud Ranch.” I asked him why did he go so far just to get me a potato. He answered, “What do you mean far? It’s located right here on Aquarena Springs.” I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high because I hadn’t tried it yet. Once I put one bite into my mouth, it was everything I expected and more.

The first time I went, I ordered the regular baked potato with cheese, butter, bacon bits, and salt and pepper. It was very plain, but it was so good! I had to go back the next day. However, this time I went inside and examined the menu. I ordered the brisket baked potato and my boyfriend ordered the buffalo chicken baked potato. Both of the potatoes are showed below. Also, there are some pictures of the restaurant inside the slideshow as well.

These are original photos from spud ranch.

Spud ranch has a nice variety of option for you to consume. They have appetizers, different spuds, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and deserts. They also deliver for all of the home bodies. I have tried the brisket spud, hot wing spud, Philly cheesecake spud, and the Texas original. None of the spuds have ever disappointed me. They always satisfy my hunger. Also, they have great customer service. I’ve never seen an unfriendly face and I’ve never waited more than five minutes for my food to be served. Spud ranch is a great place to try in San Marcos because it’s delicious, convenient, and inexpensive! Treat yourself with good food, you deserve it!
