 Ranch 616 is Texas diner-gone-designer with shiny black booths, a leather bar and funky Southwestern art. The permanent menu and eclectic nightly specials reflect the background of talented owner-chef Kevin Williamson, who grew up in south Texas enjoying fishing, game hunting and cooking home-style food. Expect a creative collection of dishes from the Gulf Coast to the bordering towns of Texas and Mexico. Lunch on fish tacos, homemade tamales and gussied-up burgers. Dinner entrées include a tortilla-crusted trout sautéed with jalapeños and topped with chipotle tartar sauce, or the Texas Angus rib-eye steak crowned with blue cheese and served with enchiladas, Spanish rice and borracho beans. Not to be missed are the oversize fried oysters or the piping hot biscuits and honey served tableside in a metal tin. Live music and cheap cold beer on Thursday nights bring in a hot young crowd. The laid back patio under the neon rattlesnake features a large firepit, which is perfect in Austin’s chillier months.
