Maglio's

It's happening this Sunday! Octoberfest at the Spirit Ranch, 701 Regis Street, Lubbock, Tx from 1-5 pm. Come out and join in the festivities. There will be live music, contests, vendors, beer and food.

Pumpernickel, deriving from Germanic roots where Pumpern was a synonym for being flatulent and nickel was a form of Nicholas, commonly associated with a goblin or devil. Loosely translated, pumpernickel means "farting devil" or "devil's fart". It has also been suggested that the word pumpernickel was slangily used to describe a person of unrefined manners. (a farting Nick) The association may be that this form of rye bread, typically heavy and slightly sweet was traditional peasant fare. We feel that we cannot celebrate Octoberfest without offering a grilled ham and cheese sandwich on Pumpernickel. Ask to have it made with sauerkraut to give your sandwich a little more of that German flair. We promise not to label you a "farting Nick"!

Around 1949, post war, a woman from Berlin used her resources to trade booze to the British in exchange for their ketchup, English curry spice and Worcestershire sauce. Her creation of adding curry and other spices to ketchup to dress up their sausages became what is now the most popular street food in Germany. Maglio's has created their own version of this currywurst and will be serving it with fries for you to satisfy your curiosity. Come check us out on Sunday, October 9th, at the Spirit Ranch for their 2nd annual Octoberfest celebration.

Beer, Brats, and Bikes. And some more German Food. Come join us!

Looking forward to serving up some German food!
