Our chopped beef sandwiches were good, but the fries were extremely greasy and limp. Skip them. The service was very friendly. The place looks down on its luck - the cash register is duct-taped, they don't accept credit cards and their phone wasn't working. If it's nearby and you don't want to go far, it's adequate.

Liked the BBQ, loved the Onion rings, and the banana pudding was OK. Atmosphere very casual. A little odd - mostly served at your table, but get & refill your own drinks. Worked for me though. Was happy with my choice to stop here. Oh, Cash only.

Nice owners. Really good food. Good eating experience. I've worked in the restaurant business for a while and can be critical but I have no complaints here. Great restaurant!

We read about this restaurant in a pamphlet in the hotel room. It was rated quite high, so we thought we'd try it. We were met with a sign on the front door indicating they were out of brisket, and they couldn't accept credit/debit forms of payment. Between those two items, we immediately departed the premises and took our business... More

We went here when Hammond's Barbque was closed one time, and were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and in ample portions. Price wasn't bad either.

It's great to have two outstanding barbeque restaurants in town, but I chose Ranch House since it was a little closer to my hotel. I arrived early to make sure all the selections were available. My brisket was tender, with a great smoky flavor. The BBQ beans were tasty and the Chipotle-flavored potato salad was very flavorful and interesting. Large... More

Had a great smoked half chicken and apple pie. I would have order the brisket or some other BBQ item off the menu but this was the special. Was really good. Friendly waitress service. Right price. The place is roomy and we had a booth. Sure, we were there for lunch but I dont think it would have felf much... More

Was anxious to eat, that the food would be one of those experiences you brag about how the service was so bad but the food was really special...yeah...got none of that. In fact we were served after a couple of other tables who had come in after us. The service... More

Our favorite B-B-Q place in the Glen Rose Area. When driving to or thru Glen Rose and planning to eat, this is where we stop. Try it, you will NOT be disappointed.
