"As long as you’re OK with running into the occasional bachelorette party kicking off their night—and maybe even joining in for a round of Ranch 616’s signature fire-in-the-hole shots—this is one of the best spots Downtown for a “Texas” meal. Grab a Patron Platter for the table so you can try half a dozen varieties of fried appetizers and semi-boneless quail bites, then go for chicken fried steaks, ribeyes, or Texas red snapper. The portions are huge, so prepare to share." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
