It was alright. Good portions and good customer service justified spending a few more dollars than I wanted to.

Nice people and all but I really wanted a good steak! It was not that great. Maybe the Mexican food would have been a better choice

This was my first time eating here since I’m not a local and travel for the company that I work for. My first impression once inside was great since it was very nice and gave me a comfortable feeling. The staff were all polite and never left me feeling ignored. I ordered steak, mixed vegetables and a loaded baked potato. I didn’t have to wait forever before the food arrived and my steak was cooked exactly the way I ordered it. I was also impressed by the amount of food that I was served. The “big chain” steakhouses leave me disappointed most of the time with tiny cuts of meat and over cooked steaks. I will eat here every time I’m back in the area!

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat! I have such fond memories of coming here with my buddies. We all very large appetites so when I noticed the menus have such big portion sizes and so many pictures I was excited. But as the skeptic I am, I reserved my judgement seeing as most restaurant menus make the food seem bigger and nicer than it is. Not so with El Rancho! The portion sizes were even BIGGER than on the menu, and very reasonably priced. I also noted that the staff was very kind and professional and one time when I had the munchies they let me order breakfast 3 times in a row lol. Love this place, great for friends, family, and just a fine dining experience in general.

My in-laws have been coming to El Rancho for years. When they suggested we come for lunch I said sure let’s go. I must say I’ve never have had a bad meal here. The service is very good too. Good food for value price!

Lovely homey place with a relaxed atmosphere and large portions of comfort food. Easy on the wallet and very unpretentious and relaxing – quiet and soothing. My husband and I go here for date nights so we can sit back and talk to each other. The service is good and the food arrives at the table quickly.

Jan Phillips Sotka
We arrived at 9:10 am aNd were immediately seated. Our order was taken. We had to wait 20 minutes for our breakfast despite the fact that there were only two other people in the restaurant. My husband’s pancakes were good. My foot was cold and the bacon was too crispy. Not sure if we will be going back.
