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 you may want to leave your diet checked at the door.
