The Ranch House Restaurant & Bar Established 1974
Well, everyone talks about the Keg, but the Ranch House to me was as good and maybe even better. I know the service was amazing, and I was proud to take my clients there for great steaks and a great time. We will be back for sure!!! This was during Agritrade, which is always crazy as not many places will allow a reservation, but the ranch house did just that. Thank you again for a great night!!!
Been here several times, and have not been disappointed yet! Amazing food, reasonably priced, awesome atmosphere with such great and accommodating staff. Made a last minute birthday dinner reservation (original restaurant gave away our reservation so had to find someplace very last minute for 7 people) and the staff here did such an amazing job accommodating our group! Would absolutely recommend this place and will most definitely be back! Order the Maryland chicken, the BBQ chicken and apple pie for dessert this time, so good!
I threw my husband's 40th Suprise birthday there! It was fabulous. 50 or so people so we got the lounge side. All the food was fantastic never heard a complaint from anyone! They decorated for me, also allowed the cake to be dropped off the day before. The service was awesome the girls were on there game. Highly recommend this place to anyone for any type of special event!! Thanks again
YOU WILL WANT TO READ THIS REVIEW IN IT'S ENTIRETY. Okay, So I have been waiting a while to write this review for no other reason than that I just had to work and was really busy this summer. I had a conference in Red Deer and what with it being fathers day I really wanted steak for dinner and my wife found the Ranch house online. Everyone got what they wanted from the menu and of course I ordered a 16 ounce T Bone Steak, This is where it gets interesting. Everyone got there plates and they looked amazing, I get my plate and my T bone looked like shaved ham, I mean it was thin. I also asked for it medium and it was cooked through and no wonder, it looked like it was run over by a street paver. I took 2 bites and when the server came back and asked if everything was alright I told her that I didn't believe the steak was 16 ounces and it was overcooked. She right away went in the back to let them know and she said the cook told her that it was 16 ounces and that she weighed it and I said I didn't believe it. She then said she wouldn't charge me for the steak and I said that that wasn't necessary and that I would pay. She then came back to the table with a phone and said the owner would like to speak to me and when I took the phone, He apologized and offered to pay for the whole meal. I said, that wont be necessary because the rest of my family really enjoyed their meals and the server was really kind and sweet, and he said at least let me take your plate off the bill, I said okay. He then told the server to add a complimentary dessert for father's day. What a nice treat to what could have otherwise been a disappointment for an evening and father's day. To the Ranch house I say thanks for great meals minus 1, but thanks also to our server who was a sweetheart and an owner who knows what it is to not only take responsibility for errors but also take pride in his restaurant and it's great ambiance. We will be back. Kim Lauzon AKA Lauzy
Fantastic experience, food had great sized servings , our waiter was on the ball and great with the kids. Offered great suggestions (Water & Watermelons) for quick cool snacks for the kids while waited for food to come out. Definitely will be coming back on our next road trip Party of 8
The service staff are wonderful, they are prompt, helpful and kind. I ordered the 20oz prime rib! What a piece of meat! I failed to take the entire thing down maybe 2 oz’s left on my plate, I tried my best haha. The prime rib is seasoned to perfection topped with a scrumptious Yorkshire pudding and smothered in an ambrosial gravy. My wife ordered the chicken cordon bleu, a delightfully crispy stuffed piece of heaven. It’s difficult to find a quality meal in this horrendous economy, but Ranch house delivers a fantastic meal. We will come again the next time we visit Red Deer!
Great menu selection. We both had specials, steak and shrimp, and arctic char, very delicious. Our waitress was very articulate at explaining the menu options and very kind and efficient. Definitely recommend and would definitely return.
There is a very healthy dose of cabin in the mountains kind of atmosphere at this place. Staff are very friendly and helpful as there are a lot of dishes to choose from. I went with the beef wellington dish with a starter soup. Both were delicious and the beef was cooked perfectly. Although I was left wishing I had gotten a big juicy steak. Unfortunately not a lot of selection for beers on tap despite the local breweries.
Had a very good steak sandwich....cooked as requested, and very tender. Reasonable prices.
Very good food. Atmosphere was very nice.
Steak and shrimp dinner on a Monday night for 30 bucks. It was a deal and very well done as well. Go there get the special!
Great job! Great place to go with family and friends! Well done, Keep up the good work
Been going here since it opened years ago. Always good service and great food
Ive always liked this place. Feels like a fairly upscale place, nice decor, a good place for a business meal or a date, also pretty reasonable price-wise. Good food and kid friendly too.
Excellent The stake was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sides were fantastic. Very good atmosphere and excellent service. Thank you
The service that we received is the best service weve ever had in a restaurant in Red deer so far and very generous helpings Definitely a place to try Catherine was their server and she was top-notch thank you for being our server and making our evening wonderful
Went there durning Agri Trade. Clean great atmosphere, steak was done perfect and at a great price. Would recommend to anyone.
Like going there good food and friendly services.
It was rather expensive for the quality of food, its definitely not $50/plate quality. It was good food however and the service was friendly.
Very accommodating staff, excellent choices on menu, cozy ambience! Love it here!
ALWAYS THE VERY BEST IN ALL CATAGORIES!! There is nowhere else to go. Top notch in everything returning soon . Thankyou. Food
Some of the best service staff in Alberta, with attention to detail, confirmation of satisfaction with meal, even bringing samples to the table. WOW. Keep up the great work.
Great service. Fantastic food and portions. Put it on the list for sure
Food was excellent, made even better by our server Katie.
Alls I can say , is my family and I had such a pleasant time, are waitress Jen, gave us excellent service, she was very professional,and pleasant. Well definitely be back. Thanks. Food : 5/5
Birthday dinner for my mother, very nice meal
Amazing food! I had the steak and shrimp, and it was absolutely cooked to perfection. The service was fantastic and this is the perfect place to eat.
Great place for a quick, good meal.
Our server was Ashley, she was amazing. One of my sons had eggs Benedict, and he almost had a seizure in his ecstatic enjoyment of it . All the food was great!!
Amazing. Steak and lobster was the best in town. Great service. Totally recommend this place.
Great food! Was amazed at the portions for the price! Took half home after the soup, salad and bread to start!
So not sure what the actual meat they served as Prime Rib but it certainly was not good. Either it was rotten or say, horse. The server said they she needed to check if it was good at the moment and she came back and said it was. So I had it and I still cant figure out what was wrong with the meat but it was BAD! The rest of our meals was mediocre at best. Dont eat here.
Ive eaten here a half dozen times, its clean and spacious and the servers are polite and attentive. However, Im likely not returning again. The reason is simple, its a steakhouse that specializes in steak and prime rib that has either undercooked or overcooked my steak half of the visits here. Food is good when prepared as ordered and its what youd expect. Since they cant do the one thing correctly and are that inconsistent at cooking a steak I cant justify coming back. Still tipped, still thanked them, but something needs to change in the kitchen.
I took my mom out last Friday night, both of us had the steak and shrimp special with Neptune topping. It was excellent, as usual.
Ordered veal cutlets pleural. Meal came and it was a single tiny cutlet, celery for a vegetable and garlic toast. We re used to Alexander s in Airdrie where you get an amazing meal and enough bel for 2 meals. Servers are amazing and resteraunt is a nice venue, but won t be back. Disappointing pick the Keg , One Eleven or George s in RD for a great meal
Be ok for snacks and drinks maybe, our meals were not the best, frozen vegetables.
We ate lunch here today. Lots of choices on the menu but we were very disappointed in the food. The salad was a cheap bagged salad, the Italian wedding soup tasted like it came out of a can. The mixed veggies were frozen veggies that they reheated. The salmon was dry and poor quality. Good service but cafeteria quality food.
We got the bbq chicken and fish and chips. Chicken was like rubber and over cooked Potatoes were ok but dry Veggies were good Their corn bread rock hard Fish wasnt cooked so sent back, came back again and was still not cooked fully. Got told it was yhe light in the dining room but it definitely wasnt. Called to speak to the manager and all they said is they have the cleanest kitchen in town... but that doesnt mean its cooked right. Both of us got sick. Wont ever be back there
The definition of a restaurant for Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares. Food and atmosphere incredibly outdated. Frozen vegetables and shrimp reheated, too large portions, bagged salad, and far too much going on with the menu. To owners response: no matter what way you cook frozen vegetables, they are still frozen, not fresh. No where on the menu, nor from your server was there an option on how the vegetables are cooked. Regardless of how you cook shrimp, if they were frozen, they taste, and look, like frozen shrimp. Also: no one wants a warm piece of watermelon. It is time to revamp and freshen your menu, or just close the doors.
Great service
Wait staff was great and seating comfortable. Food was mediocre with chewy steaks and dry fish. Kid-friendliness: Good choices on the kids menu.
It is hard to review this place because we wait over 10 minutes to be seated and ended up leaving. So that was that. Update: It was around 6:15 pm July 12, 2024. There were three of us standing in the lobby in front of the resturant. I looked in and stood into the dinning area several times. We even had enough time to take a picture of the old waiter statue at the front but none of the servers we saw working that night came by to welcome us.
Dont order the T-bone steak it has lots of Gristle
Prime rib is on point.
Service is always good, but th food is hit or miss. This time it was good. I just wish for a restaurant of this reputation they would stop serving frozen vegetables, its really beneath them.
The serving size are HUGE! The food was delicious! We were having a business lunch, so no photos were taken.
My husband and I have eaten here quite a bit and we have always had great service and wonderful food!
The food and service was great! Highly recommend!
Love the Ranch House!! Highly recommend!!!
Do you want the greatest experience of the month? Then look no more! All you have to do is go to the Ranch House for any reason. They will treat you like family from the second you walk in, greet you with a smile and kindness almost unheard of. The food? Mouthwatering delicious. The atmosphere? Feels like youre coming home from a long trip and greeting the comforts of home with reckless abandon. The service? Second to none! All the staff go above and beyond to make your day. Greatest experience of my year, cant wait to go again!
Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Wonderful service
We called and asked if we could make a reservation for 8:45. As we knew they close at nine. Wanted to ensure they could still take us that close to closing time. She said that they could take us no problem and we didn t need a reservation as they were empty. We arrived at 8:30 and the doors were locked. We called and she said yup, the manager said if there were no new tables to close the doors. I asked if she told him that we were coming? She just repeated that, he said if no new tables to lock the doors. We had just driven 7 hours. We had pursued the menu, to ensure that we could order right away and were looking forward to a nice meal. Sadly, we were rudely ignored and shut out. The open sign was still on!! I write this sitting at The keg. Great service and great prime rib!! And open until they said.
Awesome food and awesome staff. Highly recommend!
Great experience. The prime rib was fantastic! Kid friendly also.
with a group.
We had a great waitress and the food came out prompt. The food, very lacklustre and bland. Their menu is probably too big to do anything very well. Seems like the restaurant did well in its day but the life is gone. Not a fine dining experience for the mouth. Many other places in red deer do meat much better
Always have best experience here, I like prices of their drinks. Very cheap, I wish they would open late though
We went in big group, kids hockey night. They were packed and still handled everything very well. Manager made sure kids and adults are happy
Classic western style food, western style classic décor, needs some updates inside but, overall great experience!!!
A gem of a restaurant! Impeccable service and delicious cuisine.
Good service, good food , will return
First timer at this place and it didn t disappoint us. Tried their steaks and prawns and I must say it is as good as keg. It was a very worth experiment.
9/10 were completely satisfied with our order .
Attentive staff and exquisite flavors. Five stars all the way!
Loved the prairie rose ..!!! My favourite
Reasonable price and quality food. I would recommend this place to anyone !!!
It was great dining experience, steak and lobster was excellent. It was hard deal to beat these days with rising food cost
Food portion & taste is good
Always great place with great food. Prices cant be beat!!
Such pleasant staff and quick service. Food was ok. Steak was done correctly but potatoe was over baked.
we went with a group of 45 people. They handled it very well and food was very good.
Before you give your one of your favorite restaurants a bad review, I would call the manager. See if you can make an appointment with him and talk to him in person. Tell him what happen and ask if he could remedy the situation so it wouldn t happen again. If the problem was with the manager, call the owner of the restaurant. If they don t want to fix the problem, and treat you rudely, I guess you could then write the bad review. I do think you owe them a chance to acknowledge, apologize, and fix the problem. You are now looking for a new place to eat if they don t accommodate you,to your satisfaction. Good Luck!
This restaurant has really gone downhill since John died. The only reason we go here is because my husband likes it. Next time I ll send him by himself
Excellent service & food!
Went in with the family for dinner, food was fairly bad. One chicken dish was badly cooked with the breading falling off and soaked in oil, the vegetables were still frozen in the center. The server was pleasant enough personally. In response to the restaurant: Im writing to express my disappointment in your response to my feedback. As someone who frequents many establishments and values the experiences provided, its disheartening to see a lack of genuine concern for customer satisfaction. While I understand that criticism can be difficult to hear, especially considering I paid for the entire party. Dismissing my concerns and attempting to deflect blame only serves to undermine the credibility of your establishment. I expect better from you. Rather than engaging in a defensive posture, I urge you to consider my feedback as an opportunity for growth. By addressing his concerns with humility and a genuine desire to improve, you can not only salvage this relationship but also enhance your reputation within the community. As someone who enjoys regular dining experiences, I know firsthand the level of quality and service you are capable of delivering. Lets work together to ensure that every customer leaves satisfied and eager to return. And that is the final word I will say on the matter.
The Ranch House is our favourite restaurant in Red Deer and there are a number of food restaurants in this town. Never disappointed. Weve dined in a few times and brought family here from out of town. We all rave about their food and excellent service. The first time we ate here, the waitress gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house, it was amazing. We were surprised by the bill, expected it to be over $100 but it was around $80 for the 3 of us. Soup, salad and a hefty portion for the main course. Didnt leave hungry nor did we feel ripped off. Dont think about it, just go. You wont regret this. Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating and engage with small children.
Food was quick and yummy. Service was slow, the server was overwhelmed by a large table. Doing the best she could but the restaurant was under staffed.
Great place to get together and outstanding double Bacon burger combos. We enjoyed a lot with 20 people like never before. Visit again next time.
We celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary at the Ranch House this year. We had no idea our girls planned surprise gifts for us, but our server, Savanah, did an awesome job, serving our drinks and delicious meals. Yes, we will definitely recommend the Ranch House if you like fine dining.
The waitress was a gem
Great quality with great service but a its a little wait.
love going to the Ranch food is delicious .staff is awesome
Great food and atmosphere
Theres so many idiots with the food I dont know where to start. Its sad the quality of their food has gone down so much. Frozen peas, carrots and corn boiled with no butter is your side with a $40 steak. We ordered the snapper and could smell it before it hit the table and was hard and rubbery like it was freezer burnt. Steal sandwich medium rare looked good except it as hard to chew I mean we all tried a piece and agreed. Only thing thats wasnt complained about was the kids French fries. It was quite unfortunate. We did take in to account the current state of the economy
Hi, I am making a review. You only had 5 stars otherwise I would give more all around. We celebrate our 2nd time at this amazing Steak House. It is our 11th anniversary. The meals we had were exceptionnel. The fire place was beautiful for this occasion. Thanks for rhe greatest hospitalité. The atmosphère was peaceful where we Sat. Its our favorite in town. I had the New-York Strip with Neptune. My husband has Filet Mignon He describes it as the best he ever had. Thanks so much! This was special!
Our boss was taking our crew out to supper and we made a reservation at the Ranch House to try it out as we are not from here. We ended up needing to work a bit later so I moved the reservation to 8 and they said no problem! We showed up and find out that they stayed open a bit later to accommodate our large group! We ended up having a great meal and visit! The T-bone was a bit thin for my liking but absolutely delicious! Some of the other steaks that got ordered looked really good! The filet especially. The server was really on top of her game to look after us all and was prompt with the drink orders. I will definitely go there again! The inside is ranch house style decorating and I felt at home there!
Before I start I must say the waitress we had was great, with that been said my hubby and i had celery cream soup to start which was like watered down milk with a few chunks of celery , no flavor. He had ribs and chicken. He was not happy with his dinner,the BBQ sauce was puree tomatoe with ketchup in it which was all over his meat, fries were dry. I had steak and lobster which the lobster was dry and rubbery my steak was even hard to cut and there was turnup carrots and 1 piece of broccoli, the carrots and turnup was like baby food and the broccoli wasnt even warm never mind cooked,my potato was so cold it didnt even melt better. I dont know if its new owners or what but the last time it was great. We will not b going there again.
Love this restaurant... best steaks in Red Deer
Our family had our Christmas celebration at the Ranch House after our reservation was miscommunicated at another restaurant and we were asked to wait for an hour for a table to open up. We called the Ranch House and were able to get in right away! All the servers were friendly n knowledgeable. Very attentive keeping up on beverages. The food was amazing and plentiful n we all left extremely satisfied. I feel we got great food at an excellent price. Definitely be back there. The other restaurants mistake was a huge win for us
Its got a classic look and decently priced really good steaks. However, you cant be serving a side of unseasoned, tasteless, microwaved frozen veggies next to a good cut of meat. Throw a carrot and a couple asparagus spears on the grill and youve instantly upped the quality of the meal. The starter soup and bread were equally as miserable. Theres potential here though because the meat was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Everything else just kind of felt thrown together with no effort.
Good food and affordable meals. The service was great and accommodating to our needs.
Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, wonderful staff! The food is worth every dollar!
Food was not cooked or even overcooked. (Sweet potato fries & French onion soup were good)
Great food great service really like to come here Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |
The food was amazing, and the service is great! Just a heads up, I didnt know it was as fancy as it was Food
We re looking for a steak sandwich so decided to give this place a try. Our wishes were filled as the service from the hostess , the waitress and the other staff were very good. Was nice to see them work as a team and help each other delivering the meal and cleaning the tables, everyone working were hustling about doing a fine job. The steak was cooked as ordered , tasty and tender. We will be returning and would recommend to others.
Got food poisoning from their pork. Do not go here.
Waitress was very friendly and helpful for giving us good service Hadnt been there for quite awhile and food was very good and priced well Food
I found this restaurant at the north end of Red Deer. I was amazingly surprised. The decor, ambience, Costner service and the menu choices were excellent . My server recommended the steak sandwich but I asked about the veal cutlet and was advised that it was one of their top choices as well. Have to say it was excellent. It came with a huge side of veggies, garlic bread and some watermelon slices. I will be back again. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank for excellent food and customer service
My husband and I went there for date night and had a great time. The food was great. We werent pestered by the waitress but if we needed anything she was there with it. The wait staff are wonderful. We have gone for lunch there many times and not been disappointed.
Our server seemed to be having a tough day. She didnt smile once. Abd seemed distracted.
The Ranch House is definitely my favorite restaurant in Red Deer ,Ive dined there many times.Great food and excellent service ,I usually order steak ,it has always been cooked to perfection with the added bonus of soup and salad.The cheesecake is amazing and many other desserts to choose from .Their Singapore slings are definitely the best in town . Great prices and great service, I highly recommend this restaurant while visiting Red Deer .
Food is good Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Food
Excellent lunch, service was amazing. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. I would definitely come back.
Nearly full at supper time on a Saturday, but we were seated quickly and had a very attentive waiter. Specials were good, cocktails were good, and I took home one of the best slices of cheesecake Ive ever had. The decor is a little dated, but it is worth visiting and revisiting. Kid-friendliness: Lotsa tots around. They all seemed happy.
It is always a pleasure to eat here. The food is always great and you always leave happy, full and not broke! Hands down favourite place to eat in Red Deer. Date night #1 pick approved!
Had the Angus burger etc. It was great. Soup was hot. Service was excellent. Kid-friendliness: Watched onother waitress interaction with a little girl. Very relaxed and comfortable. Food : 4/5 |
Went for supper with friends and the food was all delicious. Great soup, salad, appetizers and .aint courses. The place was so busy but the service was great. Going back for more soon.
Fair prices and nice decor, went around 2pm and it was not busy at all service was great. Will be back next time Im in the area. Monte Cristo was a bit stingy on meat for the price though 3 pieces of meat was a bit of a let down.
Great family friendly restaurant. Has a bar side and a restaurant side. We visited the restaurant side. Service was fast and they brought out the kids food when ready which really helps when you have a slow eater. Food was hot and delicious. We were very impressed and would visit again if/ when we are in Red Deer.
Always my first choice for Steak in Red Deer. The stuffed baked potato is the best! I had a Steak Sandwich which was done perfectly. My friend had the Chicken Maryland, her regular choice and was very satisfied. Under new management/ ownership and nothing has changed in quality or service. Prices have gone up quite a bit, just like everywhere.
Always a good meal at the Ranch House. Try the prime rib! This is the best restaurant in Red Deer.
Waitress was beyond great , she makes you feel at home! Hope they are being paid accordingly!
The absolute best service Ive ever gotten in my life. Servers were amazing and very friendly. Food was brought out right away. We went at 7pm so was not super busy. Parking was amazing, the food was DELICIOUS. I had the beef wellington and escargot and it was absolutely fantastic. This place is on the more expensive side but it is well worth every penny. If you havent gone here yet you need to!
We stopped here for breakfast this morning and it was a great experience! We had the steak, eggs & hashbrowns. Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned wonderfully and delicious! The servers are absolutely excellent, they are attentive, fast, kind and on the ball. The decor is beautiful and everything was very clean. I would definitely recommend having breakfast here, it was exactly what we were hoping for. :) Thanks to everyone at The Ranch House, we really enjoyed that!! Sorry I forgot to take a pic but it was definitely Instagram worthy.
Went yesterday for lunch with my parents and aunt. Our server was fantastic, the food was great and a very warm atmosphere. Everyone was impressed all around. Will definitely return
Such great staff . Had liver it was excellent
Tonight I went to Ranch House with my Japanese exchange student. Jenifer was AMAZING for more than one reason. She was patient in our ordering, very kind and attentive but the bombshell was at the end of our dining when the bill came, I couldn t find either of my cards to pay. (Totally not like me-they are ALWAYS in the same spot) she gave me a few minutes and I dug through my whole pouch of my purse and was panicking! I still couldn t find them and asked if I could e transfer until I could get it sorted and she was trying to insist she would cover the bill. .thank GOD I found the two cards totally in a different part of my purse, still no idea how that happened! But she was SO kind! Annnnd the food was awesome! Thank you
Still the BEST approx $15 real beef burger on a bun [with all trimmings] in Red Deer !! i ve ordered it repeatedly ..cuz THIS puts all the drive they d to shame & proves we R in cattle country!
Decor is a bit dated. Food value and staff service makes up for that. Definitely good for families Dietary restrictions: Staff was quite accommodating with my wifes ultra low carb diet requirements
Disappointed in our meals. If you are looking for a senior citizen streak house maybe this is for you. Steaks lacked flavour, waitress had to be asked for drinks. Shrimp on our steak was cold. All our adult meals were terrible.
I had the special steak and shrimp meal. I got the stuffed baked potato too. The meal was hot and prepared well. My issue was the shrimp was bland no flavor light seasoning. I suspect it was boiled instead of fried. I would have liked it to be cooked in butter or oils and some garlic. The steak was cooked well and the flavor was ok. It wasnt one of the best Ive had. It was tender and cut nice. It had mushrooms on it and they were great and the sauce I got was the western sauce.... Why is it a 3$ extra charge for a steak sauce....? The price of the meal was 30$ + 3$ for the western sauce. Thanks tho I will return hopefully I like it better the next time. Parking: The restaurant was busy and the parking lot was nearly full. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and coloring papers
Me and my husband craving for steak last sunday and only Ranch house can serve the steak that we want the best steak in town so delicious and juicy .highly recommended 101%
Excellent food for a great price! Excellent energetic Server who knew her menu well and was very attentive! Food
Still the best steak and prawn meal for under $30! Been over a dozen times in the last 2 years and they have yet to fail me. Steak is always cooked to perfection everytime, yummy stuffed potato with all the fixings and always good soup and salad. God, I love it here. Dietary restrictions: I don t have any dietary restrictions Parking: Good amount of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Very understaffed.
food was delicious and service was great, wasnt very busy at the time so not too crazy.
Have to say the steaks are great , dont have the salmon , not fresh salmon it was frozen peice of fish not good at all .
Took our little one here for dinner on a whim and the service was absolutely incredible, the waitress was so kind to her and made sure that we had the best time possible. The food was outstanding and done exactly as we ordered, my compliments to the chef for making everything perfectly. 10/10 would recommend for anyone and we will definitely be returning for more. Kid-friendliness: I absolutely love when waitresses and waiters carter to our little one and it makes my day seeing them make her smile
Good food reasonable prices steak was done perfectly
Yay
ants under and on our table, we swept them off with our hands. med prime rib were way over done with the starchiest rice i have ever tasted. 45 mins to get drinks, 90 mins start to finish; server was nice but maybe too many tables had to ask for a to go container and our bill after standing beside the table for over 5 mins.
I went here for a steak but ended up having prime rib instead. Quality was good, my medium cut was actually medium. Service was good enough. The atmosphere is dated but suitable for a steak house.
Good portions on your plate
So disappointing! Service started out okay and the drinks were yummy. We both ordered steak entrees which included soup and salad but neither ever showed up. When we got our entrees I assumed that the soup & salad must come out at the same time but still they never arrived. We finished our steaks which were just okay and waited for our server. She stopped by our table so I asked if we were mistaken about getting soup & salad with our meal. Brandie G our server just laughed and said sorry she didnt know where they went and moved on like nothing happened. Then she asked if we wanted to order dessert. At that point we just wanted to leave so we asked for our bill. Then for the next 10-15 minutes we were ignored. She went to every table but ours. I thought maybe thats a good thing; maybe she is waiting to talk to the manager about giving us a discount or a free dessert or getting our drinks comped because she screwed up. But no such luck...the bill finally came without a discount and no friendly chat that i had seen her do at all the other tables. So next time we will head to The Keg where the steak and the service are worth the money. Or just go to The Ranchhouse and ask for someone other than Brandie G.
Yes! This place is so good
D.S This was our second time eating at the ranch. And we are all about friendly service Love your staff friendly smiley hard working. We will definitely be back .oh yes the food was delicious. Thank you all . Have a bless evning
Our families favorite place to fancy dine. Always the best food and service.
I had the $30 special steak and prawns , decent quality nice meal. Delicious sides, the service is amazing great servers, super nice people.
The salmon was dry as it was overcooked....both steaks were ordered medium rare and came medium well...the service was quite good with a friendly waitress who treated us well.
Good food and good service,. Thumbs up!
We make it a habit of heading to here when we have company from out of town. The service we receive is always amazing and the food is always top notch..
Food was ok. Had steak. One was cook perfect the other was not. Portions are of good size tho.

They were busy when we went in with a big group and still the food was good, and the table service was top-notch. They were very accommodating, also appreciated the numerous little things the servers did to keep the children happy
Wonderful and fast service. Staff very friendly. Food excellent. There were four of us each ordered separately and each found their food exceptional. Certainly will attend more and take guests there.
If you want good service check out the Ranch House. If you want good food, keep looking. I ordered the NY strip Oscar and it was easily the worst steak Ive ever had. Although it was cooked to the requested doneness, it completely lacked flavour. First time Ive ever had to put salt on a steak in a restaurant. I suspect that the bernaise sauce was a powder packet that you whisk with water. I should have stayed home, next time I will. Only positive was we had a very nice server.
Good food
Immaculate service and even better food!
Delicious prime rib.
this was one of the best home cooked feel meals I have had in years. from the kids grilled cheese and pizza to the eggs Benedict to the 1/2 pound ground with the awesome salad soup and side with it. price was excellent for what we got!
This establishment is a gem. You gotta try it! Steak sandwich was amazing!!
Very good foods
Its a time capsule from the 80s. Is the food amazing? No. Is it bad? Also no. Its an old school steak and potatoes restaurant from a different time and thats a okay. Youre going to get great service, a lot of food and basic flavors for a very reasonable price. If youre looking to take your family out for dinner and not break the bank I would also highly suggest this place.
We ordered the escargot to start. It seems the mushrooms were baked right on top of the snails which meant all their liquid just drained out and brought all the flavors to the bottom of the dish. So the actual mushrooms and snails had all their flavor washed off. Try putting the snails and seasonings inside the cap instead. Very bland. I ordered a medium rare steak sandwich and the steak was so thin I dont know how anyone could make it medium rare, which it wasnt. It was well done. But I will say that it wasnt completely dried out. Also our waitress was complaining about her co-workers not doing their job and she was stressed about all the tables she was being sat. At first she said the dill pickle soup was good but then when we didnt order it, she said it was bad anyways.
Always the best place to eat! Service is exceptional, prices reasonable and the food is flavourful and your plate is FULL!! Food
We enjoyed yet another delicious meal with GREAT service last night!!! Thanks too to our efficient & excellent server in the lounge who comped us some yummy cheesecake dessert too She was GREAT!!
Same as always, I think its for the older crowd that used to enjoy Smittys but since its closed this has turned into their place, Think of it as a dinner service at grandpas retirement home. And if you believe these 5 star reviews thats on you.
Very good. Mud pie was great
This is one of our go-to restaurants, the food is always good and so is the staff. Recently my husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. She went above and beyond to make us feel special on our day. Parking: Plenty of parking, but if they are busy, it can be difficult sometimes to find a spot. Kid-friendliness: They offer highchairs, its been so long since weve brought the kids, Im not sure if they have a kids menu or not. Wheelchair accessibility: Extremely accessible to wheelchairs
Steak sandwich and apple pie for lunch. Was really good.
Got busy needed half glass of cool water to finnish
Great menu, food and service!
The Ranch house was always one of my wife and my favourite restaurants. Sadly our last visit changed our view. The food was subpar. The steak was undercooked, and the yorkshire pudding was not cooked properly. The food seemed like it was just thrown together. We couldnt eat more than a few bites. For the price we paid, we expected the high quality we usually receive. I reached out via email to the restaurant to address the concerns we had but received no reply. I do not recommend the Ranch house any longer.
My wife is gluten allergic, and its really hard to find something for her. This place just blew our minds, the food and service was awesome, we love the atmosphere there, its definitely worth to go there, we are very amazed
Its a nice place, friendly staff, the food is good, not great. Might have just been an off day for the kitchen. Id go there again, just on the fact that I wouldnt mind trying another one of their steaks.
Its a good restaurant. Has the feel of a steakhouse and ranch style interior. Weird right, considering its called the ranch house. All joking aside, its a friendly place with good food and great service. It could use some updates, and it feels a bit gimmicky with some of the decor, but dont let that stop you from going here. Id go back again. That steak sandwich was tasty.
We tried the ranch house based on a couple of recommendations. The service was great. The food was okay. It didnt blow our socks off though for the price.
Arrived for supper at 7 on a Saturday evening. Restaurant was packed. Prompt and attentive service - anticipating our every need. I had pork chops. Tender, moist, delicious. Rice pudding for desert was just like I remember Mom made it.
Service was great, and the food was great. Overall it was a very good experience.
Good lunch specials. Ill have to come back for a dinner some time
Food was amazing as always, and service is always top notch. My only complaint is when my wife and I choose to come here and spend a $100 for our anniversary, sitting at a booth where the seat has to be duct taped, it kinda kills the special mood.
Great prime rib. Very good menu. Prices are reasonable. Management very good.
The food has always been good here and meals includes soup and salad. The servers work very hard to ensure you have everything that you want and do it with a smile.
I just wanted to add that when I was driving through Alberta, I had dinner here and the staff were friendly, the food was hot and quick, really great atmosphere and layout was cool. I felt like I was at home, thats how I felt anyways. Great Dinner, thanks guys.
Had a special dinner at Ranch House with family and friends. Service was amazing and food was excellent. Hadn t been in a long time will definitely return!
Hands down the best restaurant experience we have ever had in Red Deer. Food was amazing and the service spectacular. We will be back. Parking: Great wide spaces
We went to the Ranch House for.my wifes.bithday and we had a waitress Jennifer who was.exceptional at her job. The food would have got a 5 but when I ordered.my steak as medium well it came more like medium rare. The rest of the meal was fantastic and again big props to Jennfier. I also have to say the chef wss told and shown my steak and he also made up for the steak issue. So all in all I would.give the restaraunt a 4.8 in how it handled.everything.
The ranch house is always a pleasure when we go in! We love the staff, and how welcoming they are. Very family oriented. And the owner does an amazing job checking in with patrons about their food! I would recommend the ranch house 10/10!!
