Maverick's - Canton, Michigan
Maverick’s ranch surprised me. Smells a little sour but tastes better than it smells, like salty, tangy pickles with a bit of pepper. Solid consistency, mysterious red flecks again (still no answers). Flavor is good, but hard to describe. Not amazing, not bad. It’s better than most “It’ll Do” ranches, so I’m calling it a Runner-Up.

This ranch had me curious from the start. It smells kind of sour, which made me cautious, but the flavor was a nice surprise, salty, tangy, and a little peppery in a way that reminded me of pickles, but like… fancy pickles. The taste definitely outperforms the smell (sigh of relief!).
The consistency is right where I want it, not too thick, not too thin. It holds onto the food without sliding off. I noticed those same red flecks I’ve seen in other ranches lately (I still don’t know what they are, but they’ve become a bit of a mystery quest for me).
There’s something about the flavor I can’t quite figure out. It’s good, and I’d order it again, but it doesn’t land as a standout. That said, it also doesn’t fall flat. I debated between “It’ll Do” and “Runner-Up,” but it edges into Runner-Up territory for me - it’s solid, interesting, and worth trying.
The food was delicious. We ate with some friends so I got to try a bunch of stuff. The goat cheese/bacon pizza was the standout for me. The wings hit the spot I needed them to, but can we take a minute and look at that celery? Really?
