The Ranch Bar and Grill

this place is alright. the menu is pretty basic bar food aside from one or 2 unique items. the burger i had was pretty good, if i were to eat here again i would definitely order another one. they use texas toast for the bun and it was toasted perfectly. the burger also came with onion rings on it that were very good, but it also came with bacon on it that kinda got lost in the mix, and the BBQ sauce on it was generic but the overall sandwich was pretty good. it came with house cut shoestring fries and i enjoyed those as well. the wings are just ok, the ones i got could have been crispier and there wasn’t much sauce on them either.
as for drinking here, i did it once or twice and while they have some good specials, it’s just not my crowd. this is the place where i could see myself running into someone from work at, or someone i used to go to school with, and those are both people i try to avoid haha. the place itself is nice and clean, but it also has a country theme. unfortunately the only «country» music i’ve heard in here is that watered down pop-​rock with fiddles that passes off as country these days, i’d rather hear some merle, coe, or cash. a decent place for these people who enjoy this kind of thing, 3.5

UPDATE ²⁰¹⁵⁄₀₉:
Their craft beer list has been more disappointing as of late. Now, local crafts are rare and generic crafts like Saranac and Sam Adams seems to have taking their place.
Still a great, friendly bar, though.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Cozy Country-​Western type bar with live music. All the employees seem like genuinely nice people.
Importantly, they usually have a couple local craft beers on tap (Galaxy Brewing and the North Brewery when we were there), unusual in a bar that caters to a more traditional «Coors Light» crowd.
The fried baloney sandwich is outstanding. Nothing like it in the area.
