Went there a few nights ago and it was a little busy. We were told that there was a 35 to 40 minute wait. No problem. About 20 minutes into waiting, another couple came in. Apparently the guy knew some of the employees there. A table opened up right in front of where we were standing and waiting and the manager or owner took the couple that had just walked in and seated them before all of the others who were waiting. When I finally got seated I asked the hostess what I had to do to be seated immediately also and she expressed to me that she was very frustrated that the owners and managers see their friends immediately ahead of people who have been waiting a long time for a seat. They don’t even try to be discreet about it. If I am spending my hard earned money at a business, I want to be treated like they appreciate my business. This place absolutely does not. We will not be back.

I’ll start with the pro’s: the atmosphere was warm, the wait staff and managers friendly, steak and chicken cooked perfectly and tender, the pasta exactly right — true al dente. The neutral: it was pretty busy for a Wednesday and the clientele kind of raucous, as well as tv’s playing sports everywhere you look; it’s not the place for quiet and romantic, for sure, but if you’re out with friends for a good time, it’ll do the trick. The cons: the sauces need serious help. What was labeled«marsala» and«portobello mushrooms» on the menu definitely were NOT. The sauce was not the light, white wine based sauce of French cuisine by a long shot. It was a gloppy thick brown gravy that could have come from a can and the mushrooms in it, too. Gross!

We are relatively new to the area and thought we would give this place a try. The West Coast Chopped salad was good but overpriced. The service was awful. We were seated outside at our request. Our server was unfriendly(not even a smile), and dropped bread off at the table with no plates, napkins or silverware. We didn’t see her again until our entrees came out. She surfaced again after we ate with the check. No drink refills, no questions about the quality of our food, etc. A gentleman did come by during our meal and asked us how everything was. He didn’t introduce himself so I am unsure if he was the manager.

Ordered a Long Island. Pretty basic, right! Mostly, sour mix! Asked to have it remade! Ice and sour mix! I won’t be back!

Haven’t been in awhile thought we would try it. That is the last time. Two stars since beer was cold and bartender fairly attentive. The bar was half full restaurant not very crowded for a Saturday. Onion rings were very greasy. Decided not to eat dinner after the onion rings, and her comments to other guests on how the kitchen was screwing up dinner orders.

I like going to the ranch grill, but the food isn’t really great. It’s kind of expensive for what you get. With that being said, I still go back. They do have great service and a nice atmosphere. There really aren’t a lot of restaurants in that area and it’s a fun place to hang out and watch sports.

Every time I go in the staff is friendly and always joking and having fun! The food is great and the atmosphere is just what I like when I eat out! I highly recommend the Ranch Grill

The wife and I came in for a nice dinner. We were not disappointed. My wife had a flat iron steak which was prepared to perfection. I had the blackened salmon and just like the flat iron, it was outstanding. What really impressed me was Chef Victor was walking around the restaurant checking on the meals. Service was fantastic. Can’t wait to return

Stopped here for a quick dinner after a school concert the other night. It was a Thursday and apparently that is their«ladies drink free» night. So needless to say it was really loud in there. We were seated right away and Brooke was our server. He took our drink order and we looked over the menu. They have A LOT of choices, which in my opinion is not always a good thing. To me it means that not many things are fresh or made to order. Anyway, we skipped the apps and went straight for the entrees, I ordered the veggie flat bread(hold the black olives YUCK olives shouldn’t taste like a tin can) and our DD had a cheese burger, and hubby had a fried chicken breast sandwich. Brooke brought a basket of bread, kind of like a focaccia and thankfully it was overloaded with rosemary. It was good. When dinner arrived I was happy to see how much veg was piled on my flatbreads. The were WONDERFUL! Lots of veggies, crisp flat bread and tons of flavor. Our daughters burger came out Med(the way we ordered it) which was a wonderful surprise because it’s hard to get a properly cooked burger these days! It was juicy and came with all the trimmings and crispy FFs. Hubby’s fried chicken breast was over cooked and dry, we would’ve sent it back but it was late and he was starving. Our server Brooke was wonderful, he checking in on us a few times and quick with the refills. And when he knoticed hubby had«picked» apart his sandwich he asked if there was a problem. Hubby explained and Brooke took the sandwich off the bill. We will come back for sure but will be VERY selective about what we order. I can’t imagine all 50+ entrees are done really well here, they offer everything from steaks to seafood to burgers and flatbreads. There is a shortage of good restaurants in this area so I hope they half their menu and concentrate on doing a handful of entrees REALLY well.

Good local restaurant. The ranch grill lasted a lot longer than most expected and that’s probably due to their proactive monitoring of menu items, adding days like Wednesday Kids Eat Free and even their own«ranch amber» beer served on tap. The food is good, but the Floribbean salad with blackened chicken is outstanding. My kids love to go Wednesday’s so it’s typically a regular thing for us. The ranch Amber beer is good too and only $ 2.50 a pint!

We come here often for a quick bite or a drink. It is a decent joint with decent food. While I cannot honestly remark about any one meal, they are all decent. Come here and have a beer and a quick bite. If you are looking for super good food then try somewhere else.

I hate to do this, but since my last review, this place has gone to hell in a hand basket. The food quality has gone from good to awful. I’ve had undercooked grouper, overcooked burgers and foul tasting/smelling tuna. We have also been in a few times where they have told us that there was a 15 – 20 minute wait to sit(even though they were half full) because the kitchen was behind on orders. A shame, because we really liked the convenience of the location, and that it was a casual, family friendly restaurant, but we won’t be frequenting as often, if ever anymore.

Mixed reviews. I gave it 4 stars because the food and service are, really improving. The used to be really slow, service and boring food. Much better now the management is working hard to please the customers. I hope this continues I’ll be back

I felt bad coming into this place because it was New Year’s Eve and thirty minutes before closing time but my husband insisted it was fine. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who said«we’re closing soon so we need to get you seated»(I was so embarrassed & anticipated that the food would not be good). I could tell she was slightly annoyed but she was being so polite. We order an onion ring appetizer and burgers w/fries for entrées. The onion rings were good, the burgers were very good but the french fries were AWFUL(obviously frozen and undercooked a bit). Needless to say, I still left a hefty tip because the service was great although we inconvenienced her a bit(& so had others who were actually still they after we left… LOL). I will return but I substitute the fries with onion rings.

I would like to say, our server was extremely quick in the beginning but slowed down quite a bit towards the end of our meal. Even still, we were hanging out chatting so not a big deal! I had the Juicy Lucy and sweet potato fries and it was fantastic!!! My friend had a black and blue burger which she said was really good as well and her husband had french onion soup that was great. Overall, a great first time experience and will be returning for sure!!!

I have visited RG three times. First time we were seated right away and had the brunch. No real issue except the profanity out of the Chef/cooks mouth a couple of times. Second time seated but couldn’t get anyone to wait on us. Took about 20 mins to get water. This past Sunday no one even knew that we walked in. Yes we were behind a large party but I went around looking for someone to help. I shouldn’t have to approach someone to get recognized. There should be host/hostess there watching. So we left . Don’t know if I should go back? Decent food but if we are treated like this next time, we will not step in. Let’s see what happens next week.

We’ve been twice so far since moving to The Ranch. I’ve not been disappointed. Wings are wonderful. Burgers and homemade chips were delightful. Prices are very reasonable. And service is pretty good. This will be our go to «I don’t feel like cooking» place!

Really bad food. I have tried this place 3 times… really trying to give it a shot. #1 they are super slow! #2 the homemade chips are greesy and burnt. #3 the food is just less than average. #4 drinks are watered down. #5 bad deal for the quality of food and service. I like to be able to eat my lettuce if you put it on my burger. Yeah, it’s like just for show… A huge stalk. I’ve tried 3 different things and all just not that good!
