"A mandatory stop on the I-5. You smell the ranch before you see it, and honestly? It's worth the detour.
We had the Jack's Cut Prime Rib and it was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of almond-smoke flavor. The service was old-school professional-attentive without being hovering. It's not just a meal; it's a California rite of passage.Highly recommend !
Lunch was soooo delicious!!!! The Chuckwagon soup is a go to everytime we come here. I had the grilled flank steak with pistachio and basil pesto. Let me tell you, I can't wait to have it again. All the flavors were robust and complimented one another perfectly. I love balsamic glaze, and the chef was generous while topping my dish. The service was wonderful and quick. Our drinks were never empty either. Overall, it was a great experience.
I stopped here the other day on my way home from Sacramento. Earlier in the week I had dined at their Express BBQ, which was fantastic and had me eager for more.
I had time, so I decided to eat at the ranch's sit down dining. I looked at the Country Kitchen and the Steak House as well, but decided on the Horseshoe Lounge as it had the most atmosphere and unique ambiance of the three, plus they serve the entire menu of the Country Kitchen and being a bar only adults are allowed in. I loved all of the decorations and even the chairs had unique upholstery.
I had no idea about the ranch's history with horse racing or even that it was ranked as the #3 restaurant in California and the #29th best independent restaurant in the Country! After dinner, I knew why it has that ranking. The food was outstanding.
I had the Harris Fresh Salad and the Tri-Tip Sandwich (well done). I almost passed on the Fresh Salad because of the name, out here those are typically unremarkable house salads... boy what a mistake that would have been! The salad was fantastic and I've never thought of putting pistachios in there! It would have been sad to have gone for a Caesar salad and missed this.
The sandwich was delicious and the fries were crispy and hit the spot, especially after driving for three hours and having a pretty stressful long day of meetings.
I only wish I had had time to enjoy their Whiskey Smoked Ribeye, that just sounds like heaven on a plate.
I highly recommend this place if you have the time on your travels on the 5.
Had an amazing anniversary dinner at Harris Ranch Horse Lounge. The server was top-tier, attentive, funny, and knew just when to show up (or disappear). The steak bite appetizer? So good it should come with a safe word 🍍. Drinks from the bar were strong enough to make me flirt with my own wife 😅, and the desserts? Pure sinful bliss. If you walk out of there without trying one, you're doing life wrong🍰. Loosen your belt, cancel your calorie tracker, and go all in. You deserve it. 💯
We waited 10 minutes for a table BUT could see into the place and there were tables with no one seated. The two ladies at the front desk finally sat us at a newly cleaned table. People still waiting with open tables available, maybe get rid of one table f the ladies so they didn’t just chat to each other but too care of the customers. They may know all about beef but not about service! Time of arrival 1:15pm. The worth Blood Orange Margarita I have ever had at $16. The last table photo is another table where they left a lot of food, doesn’t speak well of the place.
