Start with the Onion Rings at Clear Springs Restaurant

July 30, 2015 by

Handcrafted onion rings; fried catfish; tender slabs of steak. These are the cornerstones of the menu at Clear Springs Restaurant, a small Texas chain that's been in business for three decades. Over that time, the kitchen team has been able to perfect their signature dishes, and you can try all of them at the branch in New Braunfels.

Its "world famous" onion rings come in small or "Texas size" portions, so only order the latter if you plan on sharing the crunchy, hand-breaded onion rings with your table. You don't have to start with the onion rings, though. Fried pickles, okra, and even mushrooms offer crispy alternatives to the signature appetizer. Fried fare dominates the list of entrees, too. Order the fried catfish or shrimp, chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken, or the fried fish tacos. Many of the fried eats also come grilled for more health-conscious eaters.

Soak Up the Atmosphere at Huisache Grill

June 25, 2015 by

Founders Don and Lynn took what could've been a liability for Huisache Grill and transformed it into a major selling point. The building in which the eatery resides was falling apart, to say the least, when they first bought it. Walls speckled with holes; a storefront that barely registered on the street; trains chugging by less than 20 feet away. Don and Lynn overlooked all of this, instead choosing to see the history that lived at 303 W. San Antonio Street. From storage shed to haunted house to antique shop, the building had seen a lot of action. Today, it features warm exposed wood overhead and underfoot, a working fireplace, and a "pavilion" area where guests can eat in the fresh air.

The ambience alone would probably be enough to draw many guests to Huisache Grill, but the fresh American fare doesn't hurt, either. Regulars suggest starting your meal with the fried brie, embellished with candied pecans, raspberry chipotle sauce, and tart Granny Smith apples. The move on to the signature chicken tortilla soup or dive right into an entree such as the hot and crunchy trout, encrusted with sesame almond breading and accompanied by jalapeno tartar sauce. Salmon, chicken, steak, and pasta round out the menu at Huisache Grill.

Choose From More Than 20 Variations of the Baked Potato at Spud Ranch

May 28, 2015 by

The menu at Spud Ranch claims to have "a little something for everybody," and a quick glance suggests that this statement isn't too far off the mark. At this fast-casual eatery in New Braunfels, diners can take their pick from more than 20 variations on the basic baked potato — not that there's anything "basic" about these spuds.

Easily able to feed two, piping-hot baked potatoes at Spud Ranch are sliced down the center, then stuffed to the brim with the diner's choice of ingredients beyond your standard sour cream-and-chives. The teriyaki spud, for instance, overflows with teriyaki chicken, bell peppers, sauteed onions, and steamed broccoli. The hot wing spud is another popular choice; it delivers mouthfuls of buffalo-style chicken, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese.

Diners watching their waistlines can opt for the steamed veggie spud or a garden salad, but Spud Ranch is the kind of place where diets are best checked at the door.
