Andrew ProctorDecember 14, 2015This is hands-down the best ticket on I 5 between LA and bay area. Clean family atmosphere and great food. A lot of cool stuff in the gift shop as well.
Trey NicholsJune 13, 2012Best place to stop when driving on the 5. Clean, rustic, three restaurants, gift shop w/ bakery. A real slice of Americana. A little pricey but haven't you earned it? You've been driving all day!
maximus the rulerMay 3, 2015Nice place, if you can get past the smells of nature. Good food, not a bad value. A very nice pit stop alternative to fast food along the 5. Conveniently located about midway between LA and SF.Upvoted 2 days ago
Pierre A.June 2, 2018Be prepared to very high quality meats at what locals say is the Tulum of Central California. Hands down the best dinner option between SF and LA.
If you're looking to save money, order the open face prime rib sandwich. Also don't forgot to check out their oatmeal raisin cookies.
Andrew SieglerDecember 24, 2016Didn't actually get a chance to eat here, 'cuz wife & kid were asleep in the car and got cranky when I tried to wake them. But--used the bathroom. Very comfortable & clean & relaxing. Will repeat.
Big John KrishackNovember 12, 2013Highly recommend the HR cab for wine to accompany the amazing wedge salad w a baseball cut sirloin on the side. A falvor celebration
JenFebruary 22, 2015Boyfriend likes meat. I like boyfriend. Happiness ensued. Win! Side note: we were the only couple without a Porsche or a Tesla to eat here that day.
S MNovember 22, 2011Everything is so fresh! I'd forgotten what fresh orange juice tasted like! Cream of mushroom soup was yumm & so glad we got homemade pistachio ice cream although we were full!
ginny hSeptember 22, 2018Go across the street to she'll where you'll find the Harris ranch BBQ express. Bummed we didn't see it!
ᴡ RoweMarch 17, 2016The beef is phenomenal, the service is top notch, bathrooms are clean. The pistachio ice cream was the best.
The Reuben sandwich and boysenberry pie from the bakery (yes you have to buy the whole pie, it's worth it)!- Ruth TunnellOctober 27, 2013Great food and service, try the Harris Ranch wine brand . It's very good!
Kaan SahbazOctober 30, 2014We landed here with our airplane. Their ribeye steak is great. But their tab water taste algea. Over all we love flying in here. Service is pleasant...
John RudolphFebruary 26, 2013Huevos Rancheros are super. I like breakfast here best. Very good destination to break up a trip to LA otherwise its fastfood all the way.
Melita MihaljevicFebruary 24, 2013Probably the best steak I've tried so far - you will probably have to wait around 10 minutes to be seated but it's totally worth
Márcio VenturiJanuary 14, 2017Excellent meat. Best steak in California. Just watch out for the house wine. Not good.
John McCarthyMay 20, 2013Great place to refresh and refuel. Beef meals are the best yet I never had a bad meal in over 15 years...really.
Great butternut and almond milk soup made from local squash and their "ranchmade" almond milk.
Amber JohnsonAugust 25, 2015Loving the pomegranate green tea. Pair it with the peach bbq coulotte steak sandwich!
Maira WenzelAugust 22, 2020Portions are huge. As another person mentioned, I was also bummed that I didn’t see the express across the street. Portion and price would probably have been better.
John AzevedoApril 14, 2016A rare Filet and house salad. All the veggies home grown. Service was terrific.- Márcio VenturiJanuary 14, 2017Best steak I had in California. The meat was top quality just like the service. Excellent.
Kelly 🍰August 31, 2012Everything is meat-themed. French dip sandwich was beef-overload and decent. This is your best option albeit $$ for dining on I-5.
Dennis LahrMay 23, 2018We gad the Ranch burgers. At $15.95 for a cheeseburger seems a bit much for a place that makes the ground beef om site.
Discovered Talus wines here. Also love the Rocky Mountain Oysters and the free wifi. Plus, it looks adorable when the Inn is all dolled up for Christmas. Also crowded, but the food is worth the wait.
Patricia MardoSeptember 9, 2011If you don't have kids it's best to be seated at the dining hall where the bar is. You're all adults there! No crying and all that kid stuff...done with that!
Rhonda PollardNovember 21, 2012Best bang for your $ for awesome Prime Rib: get the Prime Rib caesar salad...8 oz. PR w/ salad on the side.
AndrewSeptember 3, 2012Great place to stop on the way home. Be prepared for a wait if it's a holiday weekend or peek time.
Make sure to stop by the store for great snacks, food and unique gifts. I always found something special here.
BLBT Panini to go. Fantastic. Wedge fries are also surprisingly tasty. Coffee drinks also good. To go counter is t cashier all the way to the right.
siouxjaSeptember 17, 2021More of a tourist attraction than a place for amazing steak. Ordered ribeye. Unfortunately, it was chewy & had to discard every other bite. Not what one would expect @ $60. Great stop for EV charging
Filet or prime rib with a glass of house red wine...and the eclairs are great!
Giorgio PonticoOctober 28, 2011Steaks are just outstanding. Wine is very good aswell. Better if you come by plane! Great airfield!
Best vegetables ever. Don't get an appetizer, dinners are plentiful. Great wait staff - Joaquin is the best!
Brett LiderJuly 12, 2013Split your main with your dining companion. Don't worry, you'll still be full.
Toby DodgenJune 8, 2013Had tri-tip sandwich; a tasty slab of meat on an utterly disappointing white hot dog bun. Trimmings matter. Joint is pricey, maybe to be expected for a steak house on the 5.
