Stuffed Catfish, Crinkle Fries and Mighty Fine Beast Burgers
For those in search of high-quality comfort foods, Mighty Fine Burgers at 1890 Ranch gets a 5-star rating. The off-the-menu special order Beast Burger is a local favorite for those with crazy big appetites. It’s a full pound of beef (two half-pound patties) sliced onions, tomatoes, dill pickles and shredded lettuce. The truly daring can add four slices of cheese for a nominal fee.
But those who may overindulge at Mighty Fine can rest easy knowing that the beef is fresh and ground on-site daily. And it’s all natural, sourced only from certified small ranchers. Even the biggest Mighty Fine burger isn’t complete without some of their fresh cut crinkle fries — or chili cheese fries — and a hand-dipped shake. There is indoor and outdoor seating, as well as free Wi-Fi available.
For a more formal evening out, Cedar Park’s Surf & Turf and Oyster Bar is one of the most popular local choices. The signature surf and turf platter invites diners to choose one surf and one turf item, and then choose two side dishes. The surf options are fried, broiled, or stuffed catfish; fried or grilled shrimp; stuffed crab; or fried or grilled scallops. On the turf side, the menu offers a flatiron steak, grilled chicken breast, grilled or fried pork loin, or a steak kabob.
