@ranch616

Say hello to @Ranch616โ€™s new General Manager, Jeff Marques!

Jeffโ€™s journey with us started in true Ranch style, when Kevin Williamson himself inviting Jeff to join Ranch 616 in 2011. Jeff climbed the ranks to AGM, before heading to greener pastures to manage several successful restaurants. But Ranch 616 was never far from his heart!

Now, Jeffโ€™s back in action, bringing all the passion, energy, and Texas spirit youโ€™d expect.

Welcome back, Jeff!
