A couple of entrepreneurl people noticed all the people and the ambiance. The old surrounding buildings started to be restored one at a time and little shops were in the building just across from Wunsche Brothers. Spring then adopted the name Old Town Spring. The shops began to prosper and become bigger taking over whole buildings. Today we have over 150 shops and restaurants in Old Town Spring.

Puffabellys opened in 1995 in an old railroad depot similar to the one that used to be in Old Town Spring. The original Spring Depot was moved off the Union Pacific Railroad for liability reasons and was destroyed. We needed a depot in this railroad town. We purchased the old Lovelady, Texas Railroad Depot. Lovelady is just two hours northeast of Spring and is on the same railroad line. The Lovelady Depot was built by the same man who built the original Spring Depot. We had that old depot brought in to Spring around the late eighties and it sat vacant unitl 1995. Puffabellys was open for approximately five years when it caught fire and burned completely to the ground. We were not able to save anything and began to rebuild just one week later. With good friends, we were able to get back up just four months later. The depot that we're in now resembles the old depot very much. We were able to find old materials to make our new building have the same character and ambiance that the old did.

Those hand-pattied burgers are back. When we opened in 1995 we imagined a place that served good food, had a relaxed atmosphere, and played great music. We knew that these three things would bring family and friends together to share good times at Puffabellys. This idea worked and we have made a lot of new friends along the way. Over the years we have expanded our idea into live music, catering and even homemade frozen casseroles for pick up. So stop by when you are in Old Town Spring to see us...
