Ecentric is the word! by Ian the peon on 7/2/2010 via Citysearch
I was refered here by a friend, my goodness what a treat. The lunch specials were not well priced for a downtowm lunch but I forgot all about it once I bit into the loose meat quesadillas and side of tobacco onion rings. This food has…

Great Downtown Spot by PaddyMcP on 11/13/2009 via Citysearch
I had lunch here on a Tuesday after driving by it and seeing the big crowd on the patio. Seeing so many people on a Tuesday, I figured it had to be good. And it was! It was busy, so we ate at the bar. I had the enchiladas, and they…

Awesome food and staff by SarahJ8375 on 1/23/2008 via Citysearch
Ranch 616 has a wonderful eclectic staff that took great care of my husband and I. The food was excellent. Our waiter Josh was very attentive and the manager Miguel Vidal made sure our experience was beyond what we expected. And to the…

Worst Food In Austin by sdproductions on 1/11/2008 via Citysearch
This is the 4th letter that I sent to the management at Ranch 616. Still, four months later...no response. It's just sad to think that this restaurant and this manager, think so poorly of its customers. Dear Mr. Vidal: Let me begin by…

Raunch 616 by trtaggart on 11/2/2007 via Citysearch
Went with some locals who were all disappointed with the decline and fall of 616. It was hypothermic at our table and we asked if they could turn down the AC. It will warm up later when more people pack in, we were told. Thanks for the…

Favorite Restaurant in Austin by txterryo on 10/24/2007 via Citysearch
These reviews are hilarious! "Bring a flashlight cause it's too dark!" or "I had to WAIT even though I have a large party and it's dinner time on a Friday night - WAH WAH" - go to Chile's or somewhere generic. More room for me at…

Worst Service in Austin, Incompetent Management by the1austin on 6/6/2007 via Citysearch
I went there with a group of three friends. We were told the wait would be about an hour or so, which was fine so we ordered some drinks and waited outside. We slowly started to realize that the hostess was sitting people that arrived…

Avoid the Burgers by austinrveu on 5/2/2007 via Citysearch
Three of my co-workers and I went to Ranch 616 for lunch. We told the host that there were 4 of us and he assured us the wait would be 5-10 minutes. We waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad, but it was odd that he didn't write a…

Turned away by austinslykit on 2/16/2007 via Citysearch
We live in the neighborhood and have been wanting to try Ranch 616 for a while. We got together with friends on a Friday night and got there around 6:45pm. We were turned away because we didn't have a reservation. The place looked…

Extremely Dissapointing by saphira_st_sin on 2/11/2007 via Citysearch
We tried 616 last night for dinner. We will not be going back.\r \r We had a reservation but when we arrived we were told there would be a wait. This is not usually a big deal, but there was nowhere to sit as the bar is small and was…

Attn: Dissappointed Guests... by miguelvidal on 2/7/2007 via Citysearch
I am the manager at Ranch 616 and I am sorry to hear the problems that a few of you had at the Ranch. I would like to personally apologize for the mistakes and ask you to please return and give me a chance to make up for your experience.…

Great Food, Awesome atmosphere an Austin original! by cita3 on 2/5/2007 via Citysearch
Ranch 616 is the one of the best things about Austin. The atmosphere is funky and fabulous! You are always treated like family. The food is delicious and worth every penny. If your looking for some sleak, polished restaurant, the Ranch is…

Happening Place with GREAT Margaritas by yoyogirl on 2/5/2007 via Citysearch
If you are looking for a hip, fun place with awesome food and great music Ranch 616 is the place to be! The food and the margaritas are to die for. The Ranch is a exciting restaurant to hang out with your friends while listening to hip…

Total Disappointment by carolynem on 1/28/2007 via Citysearch
We had dinner there last night. To begin they had lost our reservation. We were told we could sit at the bar and they would get us a drink, implying an apology for the lost reservation, but no we paid after waiting over thirty minutes. …

Eccentric, well-prepared plates reflect a chic Southwestern aura. by Contributor on 6/14/2006 via Citysearch
In Short
Ranch 616 stands out with an outrageously fun snake-like sign announcing its presence. Large plate-glass windows line one side, filtering daylight into the modestly lit restaurant. Notice the details, like iconic candles…

Its like Chilli's But Expensive! by supercindy on 2/8/2006 via Citysearch
Recently visited the Ranch and was not impressed. The food is expensive the portions are small and your practically sitting on top of the people eating next to you. The wait stuff is rude and easily annoyed, getting water, bringing you an…

DON'T GO by KATHTEX on 1/11/2006 via Citysearch
When you spend over $300.00 dollars on a dinner for 9, you expect the waitstaff to be somewhat poliet. We were rushed to place order and the waitress appeared very put out to have to bring any additional condiments, beverages, silverware,…

so so by episternum on 6/7/2005 via Citysearch
The chocolate dessert was good, but the steak was unimpressive and the quail's nest was weird. It was too dark at our teensy little table to see what I was doing, so I couldn't properly disassemble the quail and ended up eating a couple…
