Ranch 616 - (Near Austin, TX)

5 /5 Nudonda Bruce: The food was so tasty woild have loke seconds and the atmosphere was pretty dim. Had to use your light on your phone to read the menus. The drinks were drinking! Yes!!!!! Definitely a mist visit.

4 /5 Amber Lee: Slightly off the beaten path of West 6th lies a Tex Mex place that features eclectic decorations and delicious food. We recently stopped by Ranch 616 and were pretty impressed by what they had to offer. As mentioned before, the decor is a bit wacky but it seems to suit the place well. Since it is right off of 6th, be aware that parking may not be the easiest to find and you’ll have to settle with what you get. The interior and exterior are clean and lively and there is sometimes live music on their patio section. When we arrived we were quickly seated and ordered quick as well. The waiters were attentive and quick, which is always appreciated. One thing we noticed is that water comes in repurposed candle holders, which is cool but also means you get only a bit of water at a time before you need to refill. For food we ordered a plain cheese quesadilla, quesadilla of the day (ended up being chicken), and their ranch chicken sandwich fried. All the food was pretty good. The plain cheese quesadilla was perfect, just the right texture and filling of cheese. The quesadilla of the day was a standard chicken quesadilla featuring refried beans, cream, etc; pretty good, but nothing special. Lastly, the fried chicken sandwich was great, the chicken breaded well and very juicy, although is came out very very hot. Ranch 616 was a very welcome change to what you would normally expect from West 6th’s bar and fast eats scene. There’s a lot of character here and as people always looking for reliable restaurants in different neighborhoods, Ranch 616 definitely fits that bill. We will certainly be back if ever out on 6th and looking for some southwest/Tex Mex food.

3 /5 Cason R: Atmosphere and patio was a great setting for groups and noise. Decent music playing. Quiet side street so less traffic. Service was sub par for the surrounding area is my main reason for lower ranking. Stiff and awkward for any staff encounter on a Sunday afternoon. No intro of waiters name, no hello, even after asking how she was. Very weird. Maybe saw us 2 times. Food was decently priced for downtown and quality was very good. I enjoyed the chicken fried steak. It was lightly breaded, very crispy, with a flavorful gravy. Healthy portion. Salad with steak was nice too and they paired it with 2 very good dressings. The 2 drinks we ordered tasted like plenty of alcohol was used and better mixers with it. Maybe even freshly pressed. Could have fooled me if they were packaged mixers. If definitely go again for the chicken fried steak and would hope service matches every place weve been to around downtown.

5 /5 Daniel Rosini: My wife and I decided to pop into Ranch 616 for a quick brunch, and wow, what a gem. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere had this cozy, quirky vibe that made it feel like the perfect spot to unwind. The music was just right—not overpowering, but enough to set a fun, relaxed tone. The service? Absolutely fantastic. Everyone was super friendly, and they genuinely seemed happy to help. One of the servers recommended the Hash, and let me just say, they nailed it. It was delicious—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. It felt like comfort food but with a little extra magic. We weren’t planning on making this a regular stop, but after this experience, it’s definitely on our list. If you’re looking for great food in a welcoming spot, Ranch 616 is a must.
