I asked a friend who is a judge at BBQ competitions for his recommendation and was sent to the Ranch House. I have been going there ever since and now all my friends go, too, GREAT FOOD!!!

Slow cooked tender goodness. Best I've ever had. Their ingredients are flavorful but not overwhelming and their cooking is superior, never rushed. They were lost for awhile when a mudslide took out the location where they cook their food a couple years back, and it was terrifying!

I ate here several months ago but I held off writing a review because I was heading to Texas and was going to try some of the famous BBQ joints and I wanted a point of reference. I tried sliced brisket at Ranch House BBQ and it was every bit as good as the places in Texas even better than... More

My husband and I swung by this place on our way back from the Pacific coast. We had been eager to try it for months after seeing it featured on the Food Network. Ordered the sample platter to split between us and our toddler, and the food was everything it's cracked up to be! We look forward to returning again... More

We are in love with this place. My husband and I have been so many times. The food is always delicous. The thing I love the best is every time we go it tastes exactly as it's supposed to (not always the case with some BBQ I've had) We get huge portions, delicious sides. I really think the value is...

Trid the sample platter. There were four of us and it was almost enough. A side of ribs put us over the top. Great food and fast, friendly service.

Stopped and had lunch on the way home to the coast from seattle. We all enjoyed the food we ordered. I had the sample platter, ran about 25$, but was a lot of very good food. Chicken, brisket, pulled pork, ribs, a hot link and a big pile of fries, plus cole slaw. Enough food that I ate until full... More

There are several large puddles in the parking lot making it challenging to enter the building, some of which are deep enough to flood your shoe if you are not careful. Loved the decor once we entered the building and the staff is very friendly. Food tastes great although I was left a little disappointed. Ordered the half a chicken... More
