I've personally tried every single dish at thursday kitchen and i will always come back to the mac and cheese, and the steak dish as well. This place is great quality food thats well worth the price.
I ate here last year with my family when visiting. I now live here so we will be coming here a lot when everything is back to normal! I cant wait.
Omg! Food was Delish had a cowboy steak and Pedro was so nice
Had the del monico steak with a side of lobster mac and cheese. The steak was one of the top five steaks I've ever eaten. Lobster mac and cheese was exquisite. A few minor concerns were that it was a little dark and hard to see when first walking in until my eyes adjusted and it would be helpful if the special menu would differentiate between appetizers/starter and meals. Overall great experience and food. Keep in mind that this is a higher end restaurant and the prices reflect that.
Sad thing is cover charge and expensive valet parking. Reservations only.
Great Country atmosphere! Definitely a saloon setting for sure.
The food is excellent and drinks just as good. Got the prime rib special which was very good. Another member of my party for the cowboy ribeye, had a taste and it was delicious.
The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. The restaurant has a nice dim light ambience, great for romantic dinners yet there are other seating sections as well with warm light for regular occasions. The food presentation was very elegant with robust color and flavor and the portions were not to disappoint . The salmon was crisp and very light, filled with amazing flavor. Their filet was also exceptionally prepared and bound by rings of sauce, not that it needed any but sets their steak apart from other steak houses. Sides were adequate and tasted great. Overall a wonderful experience which left me wanting to explore the menu more on subsequent visits to come.
they are closed, was just driving by. they open at 5 for dinner.
I give THE RANCH Restaurant located at 1025 E Ball Rd #101A, Anaheim, CA 92805 THREE STARS. I did not get a "welcome to the RANCH" or whatever it is that must be said as guests walk in and the same happened 2 hours later when leaving the Ranch. No "thank you for visiting" i've been to many fine dining restaurants throughout the U.S and acknowledging guests is very important. The menu items are delicious and the servers did a great job. 3 's
Awesome food and country dancing (if you want to participate).
Great food with good service. Enjoyable evening and will return again soon.
Okay, so we were there for a private party and I'm sure that they were on their game. But, oh my, was the food outstanding. The Chilean Sea Bass was beyond words. All in our party shared a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal.
Del frisco prime rib with duck fat steak fries. The prime rib had a good depth of flavor. The popcorn ice cream was a fun experience.
This review is way over due, I have nit been here in over a year. However, my meal a year ago was awesome. Great food, great service and I have to say my salad may have been the best wedge style salad I've ever had in my life. This place is on the top of the list of restaurants I want to visit when the pandemic is over. must try
This restaurant is on the bottom floor of an office building and it is deceivingly large. The food is outstanding but be prepared to pay handsomely. My fish was excellent as were the beef entrees. I didn't care for the escargot but I was in the minority. Wait staff was very pleasant and very good. Would definitely return.
They serve big portions and for convenient rates. super nice staff members. Great work.
The food, service and atmosphere was as good as anyplace we have been.
Great live country music bands, serious country dancers, great energy - a great spot.
Been going here since they have opened. They rotate their menu depending on what is in season or what they have grown on the farm.
Seems the specials very rarely change. Its been prime rib for the last two years.
Food quality is excellent as well as the service. They have been steadily increasing their prices over the years.
One of my favorite spots to grab some food. great location, always clean, and very good customer service. A must try!
After a rough week, needed a good dinner with the business partners to recharge. Rated one of the best steaks in OC, The Ranch is definitely worthy of the ranking.
Located in a nondescript office tower, it's definitely not a place to come for the view. The decor inside is classy western, with larger than average tables and comfortable seating.
The multi-type bread rolls all baked together were tasty; chose the brioche and the jalapeno with some butter.
As for drinks, i ordered the Chapman Beer Works Lager, and it was quite good. Business partner got the chipotle margarita, and had to let some ice melt to fully enjoy it, as they prefer more balance than spirit. definitely get your money's worth on the pours here.
For a starter, ordered the chopped kale salad, which had a fine mix of flavors with kalamata olives, cheese and the dressing. definitely not just all kale, all the time.
Main course ordered the petit filet medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection.
Dessert was The Milky Way, a stunning presentation of chocolate, nougat and salted caramel ice cream.
fine dining caliber excellent food, priced as such.
side bonus, you can wear a hat while you eat.
Not a bad thing on the menu. Wow!!! Absolutely phenomenal
Shared a special with my wife and it was cooked to perfection! Great advice on the wine and food and felt the service was spot on. I would recommend to family and friends. The Milky way dessert was exactly as described, I'm not a dessert person but you should try it and the popcorn ice cream, that was a shock to the palate but a good one.
I'm fond of telling people the more you pay for a meal, the greater chance of being disappointed. You remember that night... "wow, that didn't go so well for THAT kind of money and I could have eaten at another place 5-6 times for what I spent here."
Awesome fun place, atmosphere is very nice. The food was exquisite and service was superb. Definetly i will come again.
Went here with a group of seven. Reservations seem to be a "must", as two days before, we were turned away for lack of space. There is a bar inside the restaurant, but if you are counting on getting a seat there, I would think twice, as it was full both times we went, and turnover was not rapid.
As far as dining. Well, it was good. One of our steaks for two was excellent (dry aged), while another had a tendon running through which made it a bit tough, too much so for a $130 steak. Sides were fine, salads were very nice. Drinks were well done by experienced bartenders.
Don't hesitate to go here for a nice meal. Just don't expect it to be the coup d'etat of all steak dinners.
Came to this location with friends and were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming staff .. Wow she was an amazing host. She continuously came to our table and checked back with us. And made the evening more spectacular. Friendly smile and insured that the staff too were equally welcoming .
Fantastic food, solid service, and great drinks. A bit on the pricier side, but well worth it.
This restaurant offers great views combined with exquisite taste! They are located on the other side of the coffee shop that I love, it overlooks downtown. I recommended this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic evening or simply trying out the best dishes on the menu. We will definitely come back!
Great place for drinks and food before a night on the town! All of the food is delicious and the ambiance is stellar. A must when coming into the city! Will recommend to family and friends.
The servers here are just wonderful and have great memories it seems. The service was so good!
The food at the ranch is spectacular. The service was good, the lamb chops were good, not the best I have ever had. Overall, I would recommend the ranch. Look forward to giving them another chance
I came with a party of 4 on a Monday night. Their Yelp page says by appointment only so I had a reservation, but it was super empty at that time, so you could probably just walk in. Though at any popular hour, you would definitely need a reservation because the place is very small. It's located in a very unassuming strip mall with a small parking lot.
The steak was overcooked. They offered to replace it but from such an expensive restaurant with an amazing menu, I'd expect them to get it right in the first place. I might try this place out again and will update my review.
Best meal ever.. Filet, Sea Bass, appetizers, and desserts were amazing. Certainly a first class experience with extraordinary service.
I have dined with my family here on two occasions now. The atmosphere is great, but the service can be slow (minus one star). The food quality is excellent.
Exceptional service, outstanding meal, Highly recommended for a return visit. The price is aligned with value. I shared a rib steak and it was more than two could eat and what I had was absolutely delicious!
I had my birthday dinner here and it was amazing! I loved the wine and appetizers. The steak was delicious and dessert was a yummy experience!
Food, cocktails, service and atmosphere were excellent. If you are looking for a nice dinner, this is a great choice.
I had their salmon and it was delicious! The fish was as fresh as fresh can be. Thank goodness it was a business dinner.
The food was amazing and stellar customer service. Visiting Anaheim to go to Disney and couldn't have been happier with the experience here. Jose took great care of us last night well past closing. Highly recommended!
The food was great,
The service was great,
The only thing I disliked this time was that my cowboy steak got cold right away due to the AC being blasted. It felt like i was eating in the middle of January outdoors.. I know due to covid they probably have it like that on purpose, but it was way too cold in there.
Amazing food. This is the best steakhouse ever. Food was excellent and tasty, the dining was excellent and also the service was great.
Service is increadable, and every Server is polite, helpful, and pacient.the food is unlike any reastraunt i have been to.
Amazing experience. They are so professional and caring. Very clear in their communication and respond quickly to any inquiries. The broth is fantastic, you can tell it's made with love. I get a subscription for my mom and it's really improved her health and wellbeing. I can't thank baby broth enough. I will certainly be supporting them and continuing my subscription as long as they're in business.
The food served here is of proudly American-sized proportions, so come with a healthy appetite. They definitely don't skimp! Despite that, the delicate plating of the dishes here is vaguely reminiscent of some of the more hoity toity French restaurants you'd stumble upon. Overall, a good balance.
Great Cowboy ribeye steak. Perfect for a 17 year old.
I always have a great experience here at the Ranch. My glass is always full, the food is perfectly prepared and set in front of me. The staff is friendly and managers even check in on us to make sure that we are having a perfect time. Even if the restaurant is busy, we never feel like we've been forgotten or unattended. It's always a treat and we leave feeling full and pampered.
Was here for a family birthday dinner and got seated in a quiet sealed off area in the back. Service was very attentive for our large group size and mix of ages (8 adults and 6 kids). Food was all delicious and great pairings of wine and mixed drinks. Even the steak dish for children was well proportioned. Pictured is the Cowboy Ribeye, which cut up to share between two people. Probably on the fatter side but so delicious
1st time line dancing, had a blast!
Not to mention, great food too!
The food is just amazing . The staff was really friendly you have to try the boneless chicken and the salmon is really good . Healthy fresh and prices are really great ... must try the garlic sauce it was soo good that I asked to take some to go
If you don't know how to line dance do not come here, so sad to know you are not welcomed if you aren't a certain race..asked by security not to dance if you don't know how to line dance..
Took my family here for my daughters birthday, Amazing food and service!!
As a professional business traveler who has visited many of the best resturants in every major city I will have to say the food at the ranch was spectacular. The service was over the top, the lamb chops were the best I have ever had. without hesitation, I would recommend the ranch. I was there with a group of 16 and we all felt the same way. I look forward to another chance to visit.
We had an amazing and lively experience! The Veal Cheek Stroganoff was the best i've ever had, and the Brussel Sprouts were delicious. Your waiter might offer a Buttered Popcorn ice cream and trust me when I say do it. It sounds gross but we destroyed the whole bowl, it's out of this world.
What a beautiful venue! A must see and do new in OC!
Great food, excellent service, and a fun environment!
One of the best filet mignons I have had in years. It was so flavorful and juicy that I thought I was going to do the happy dance right in the middle of the restaurant! The mashed potatoes were excellent, and so were the roasted vegetables. The service was exemplary. This restaurant far exceeded my expectations and I would give my highest recommendation for it to anyone who asks.
Looking for something a cut above? You shall find it here! Hungry for steak? A lot of it?!! They'll round up a 58oz Cowboy steak for ya. It's tender, juicy and well seasoned. This place also has one of the most heavenly dishes I've had the pleasure of placing in my mouth: Chilean Sea bass with Jambalaya. A - MA - ZING! Finally, our waiter, Wally, was one of the best! The barkeep, Buckets, was totally on point!
We are from Gilbert, AZ. The food was exquisite and service was superb. Definitely coming back. Coral and Brenda
I will start by saying I don't believe our experience was normal, but it is the 2nd time I have dined here and neither was good.
Our party of 6 arrived on time for our reservations. It is a busy time of year for large groups. It took more than 10 minutes to seat us as they were "just placing some items on the table" weren't ready. Personally I do not like the main dining area. It's open, loud, not very private.
Our waitress was nice and personable. Our first drink orders came out quickly, our appetizers came out at a decent rate. We had 2 popover orders, scallops (off menu) and shrimp cocktail.
We put in our dinner orders (2 filets, chicken, prime rib, a 50oz bonein and a few sides). About 75 minutes later (after asking where our food was) my chicken came, and within a few minutes the rest of the food. Except, my veggies were cold, my chicken overly salted and dry - one filet tough and cool, the prime rib cold, the 50 oz steak cold and one filet didn't even appear. We mentioned all of it. So, they made the missing filet fresh and 10 minutes later brought it around and offered to warm the prime rib and 50 oz. Unfortunately...reheating a steak means..overcooking it. After 20 more minutes a bus boy finally asked if I needed anything and I explained he could just take my food since it was cold, dry and salty. Only then did they offer to replace it. It was complete chaos. The manager was extremely defensive citing they were busy (orders went in around 9pm). Eventually they apologized and removed all of the food from the bill. But, for our company Christmas party..it completely killed the mood. We had planned to go to the saloon..but we were all disappointed and hungry.
There were so many things they could've done differently to change our experience..but clearly they stay busy and our revenue wasn't a loss.
The scallops were nice but also very salty. The shrimp was tasty and fresh with a nice cocktail sauce with a kick. Lobster mac n cheese very good when warm, the filet was good but not the best I have had, the mashed potatoes were okay. I don't recommend the chicken or prime rib.
We had been at the Blind Rabbit before and had amazing cocktails including pappy 15 year. Typically ordering a $180+ shot gets you decent service. At the Rabbit ...it was amazing. At the Ranch where we ordered the 23 year... nothing and it was under poured.
I hope others have much better experiences but I say..lower your expectations and save your money.
Going here for many years, loads of books to choose from. Helpful & courteous owner. Extremely low prices.
The departure day of our annual Disneyland trip was to treat the kids to Goofy's kitchen and let them interact with all of the various Disney Characters. They had a blast and the food was very good.
My girl and I had a terrific time. Fantastic atmosphere and food.
I ve been traveling to OC almost yearly for the last 11 years and each year make it a point build on my list of repeat visit restaurants. The Ranch rocketed to the top of my list. I had an amazing meal here. The dining room and entry are beautiful. The service was top notch and a cut above the rest in Anaheim. The food was great! I think the poppers and steak could be seasoned a little bit more with salt but the meal was expertly constructed otherwise. See you next year Ranch!
An amazing meal from start to finish....That is what I remember from dining there almost a month ago...
The beet salad, is divinely.... Make sure to get it! Even if you hate beets, still get it. It will change your mind forever.
The prime rib, is fit for king or a queen or both.... Regardless, it was sooo tender and juicy that would melt in your mouth.
The lamb chops, no words can describe it.... Cooked to perfection (medium-well), yes the way I like it....
The bar area is beautiful.... Get a drink or 2 while waiting for your table. Making a reservation via open table was a breeze one week in advance though.... It is a popular upscale restaurant close to Disneyland, so plan accordingly!
Christina did a great job at the bar.. she revealed a couple of her specialty drink recipes that were... yes.. published in the LA Times.. GO Christina.. Our meal was fantastic. Farm fresh organic produce in a charming and classy environment.. followed by an amazing protein delivered in a way far exceeding my expeditions.. well done chef.. Do not skip a chance to experience The Ranch..
One of my favorite steakhouses in the OC. Elegant ambience, attentive staff, great food.
Everything from appetizers to steaks to desserts are well crafted. Their Cowboy Ribeye is huge!
Definitely recommended for a date night or a special occassion. There's even a nice saloon next door to take the edge off before or after!
And they're finally open for indoor dining after a long pandemic closure! Can't wait to go back when I'm in LA again
Not your every day dining kind of place, The Ranch is special. Everything from the environment to the food presentation has been crafted to perfection!
Amazing! but it was my first time at a fancy place when the waiter placed my napkin on my lap i low key almost punched him but i have ptsd from sexual assault all throughout my childhood and hey caught me off guard..but everything from the service to the food dessert and drinks was awesome!
The food and service here is excellent. The wine list is extensive. There was a good selection of Italian reds something not very common for a steakhouse. I tried the salmon and New York steak. Both were excellent.
The food deserves negative ratings, the ambiance is great! Perfect after work spot to hangout. The service is amazing as well.
As far as the food goes :
I went to The Ranch with high hopes. Got the chef menu in addition to the popovers and Lobster mac and cheese and many deserts..
BAJA STONE CRAB GAZPACHO - Not Fresh. WAY TOO SALTY! I had to use all the blood orange just to be able to swallow it
WILD HARVESTED MANO DE LEON SEA SCALLOPS - I was very excited about this, since I love scallops. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! The scallops were chewy and salty.
MEYER RANCH PRIME FLAT IRON STEAK - Oh boy they messed this one up! This dish was not even cut the right way. The steak was drenched in sauce! Def not a good dish. I almost had to force myself to finish every single dish.
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE - The best dish of the night.. Truly enjoyed this
POPOVERS- they were good
PBJ & MILK CHOCOLATE BAR - Almost a bit too dense, but def a good one
HOME MADE ICE CREAMS & SORBETS :
popcorn! Interesting, well done
Bubblegum ehhh okkk
chocolate crunch... ehh okkkk
Home Made Lobster Mac N Cheese- Nothing spectacular
Overall I was very disappointed in the food
