The guy at the front desk of my hotel recommended 7-11 Ranch Restaurant for dinner. At first, I thought he was telling me about the well-known convenience store and gas station, but when I looked it up, I realized I was in for more than a ready-made hot dog. Phew! The place was hopping on a Friday night, but the staff was able to keep up with the demand. I enjoyed the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. It tasted just like grandma's home cooking. On the opposite side of the restaurant is a quirky and well-stocked gift shop. There's so much stuff in there, you're sure to find something wonderful to take home to the kids. read more

Friendly service. Ample portions. Hot scones would have tasted better IF they had been cooked in fresh oil. Grilled chicken on salad lacked flavor. Adding salt and pepper at the table didn't quite do the trick. read more

My family was visiting Vernal and we decided on 7-11 for lunch. Everything tasted homemade and was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the ribs, I had the CTB sandwich, and my son had the mac and cheese, all highly recommended by our family. We also felt the prices were very fair for the amount of food we received. The whole experience felt like stepping back in time in the best way. We would definitely eat here again! read more

Efficient friendly service. Amazing corn chowder. Great country fried steak cooked to perfection! Killer scone. So much food they had to take me out with a wheelbarrow! Soup and salad and scone and vegetable and fries or baker included with the reasonable price of the steak! Incredible! I also tried their homemade sausage patty and while it tasted great mine was so overcooked that I didn't eat it but when my server saw that she comped it! Nice well-lit restaurant. Great for groups or families. I'll come back with the wife and kids next time we're up this way! read more

Always a yummy meal here! Highlights: Amazing waitress Delicious ranch Lots of ice in our drinks Constant drink refills Incredible scones and honey butter Homemade soup Delicious sourdough toast Great pie High quality napkins Great ambiance Gift shop with local items read more

We stopped in looking for a quick bite and a place to charge the car--Abby's Cafe was closed, but lucky us, we stumbled upon the sweetest little gem: 7-11 Ranch Restaurant & Cafe The place is super cute with a cozy, small-town charm. We were greeted with warm smiles and served by the most delightful older lady who was kind, quick, and had just the right amount of sass to keep us smiling. We both got chicken salads with iced tea--not fancy, but so satisfying. The real surprise? The "scone" that came with it--more like a fluffy, fried donut dream with butter on the side. YUM. Bonus: there's a little shop inside with fun dino-themed gifts and knick-knacks--perfect for browsing while your food settles. Definitely a happy accident we'll remember. read more

7-11 Ranch Restaurant - Iced tea - Barbeque Near Me - Vernal, Utah

Friday night, traveling thru from AZ. Ordered the Prime RIb w/shrimp. Not soup or salad...soup AND salad. Clam chowder was delicious! Then came the meal. Very large slice of the best prime rib I've had in years. Mashed potatoes were fresh and REAL! Everything was spot on! Great friendly service and more food than I could consume. Prices are more than reasonable! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

Stopped for lunch and loved it. Portion are large and delicious. Our waitress was great. Thank you Cassandra!!! We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

I will start with the fact that this has been a staple in Vernal for a really long time, but after taking my family of seven to dinner this evening, I was overly not impressed with the service I received. Our server Alex, we learned as we paid at the end of the meal was new. The reason I do not give it 1 star is because the food quality and cleanliness of the restaurant is impeccable. Where the restaurant lacks will be training. Initially, we told her to give us another 5 minutes so we can look at the middle and help allow 3 children under 10 the time to figure out what they want. Instead, she kept coming back every 30 seconds, "Are you ready?" I respond "No" 30 seconds later, again, "Are you ready?" and so on. Next when it comes to the menu, the patty melt says "house salad or fries". She charged us. Clearly, she does not know the menu, and this is critical for a server to know the menu!!! Next my daughter wanted mac n cheese but while it came with a scone, she wanted fries instead. Not a upsell size fries, she charged for the SIDE OF FRIES. We also requested a side of scones to eat before our meals. She said "How many do you want?" I said a side She says "How many" I said 5? She said nope can't do that? I asked how many can I get? How many do you want and back and forth. Again a good server would know how to address how many I can get. I got to the register to dispute these items and the cashier told me "Sorry I do not have the ability to change anything" In summary, overall good restaurant but if the owners need to fix something is either train people and text them on the menu or get people who do not scam people out of extra money to increase their tip expectations. She got a 10% tip read more

I read a review while waiting to order that said " have you ever thrown up in your mouth and then swallowed it? Do that instead of eating here"..... I was really hoping that was just a bad day type of review, turned out it was true. I would have eaten my own throw up than eat here ever again. I'm thankful we don't live in town and are only passing through. The chicken tenders were rubber, the mashed potatoes clearly frozen meal warmed up, the ribs were gross and the fish was iffy. The only thing I could stomach was the fried pickles. Our waitress was quiet and hard to understand but nice overall. The rest of the staff gave us rude looks the entire time. The food was horrendous and the staff and locals made it awkward... overall Id say pass on this place if you're coming through town. read more

7-11 Ranch Restaurant - a table full of food - Barbeque Near Me - Vernal, Utah

I've been coming here when I'm in Vernal for over 30 years. It's a good old small town ranch style restaurant. The food is good and the service is friendly. The menu is pure Americana. I usually order the liver and onions but this time I tried something they've added recently the sausage steak. It was good. The mashed potatoes are real not the quick whip kind. There is a cute little gift store there where you can buy all sorts of local themed merchandise like dinosaurs and more recently UFOs. read more

Great Service, food is good and it's worth a try. The cheese burger soup was tasty and the salad was fresh. The Scones are delicious amazing good. read more

This is a great place and knows exactly what it is. - The food here is really great for what you're paying and is exactly what it is supposed to be. It's an old fashioned home cookin. I got the chicken and potatoes with the soup and salad and that was all just $13.99. The serving size is huge and the food is really nice. Again, this place knows what it is and this home town cooking tastes really nice. - The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and our waitress was on top of things the entire time we were there. - The decor of this place is also super nice. I went during Christmas and it was very festive and done in a really nice way. - The location is right on Main Street in the old part of town. Great location. This place is worth a visit. read more

Terrible! My food came out undercooked so I sent it back and when they brought it to me it was burnt. Not even able to choke i down. I left hungry read more

WoW, where do I start, this place is a local gem worth every dollar. Portions are good, service was Excellent, and the food rocked. Wish I was local, was great to visit an awesome foodie spot. read more

Service was good but food was awful. We always come here when we're in Vernal. This time it was terrible. I got soup and salad with a scone. The homemade ranch was very thick and didn't taste like anything. The vegetable soup was the worst I've ever had and it was not warm. It tasted like cold tomato broth with a bag of frozen vegetables. The restaurant itself was well decorated and clean. We liked the gift shop. It'll be awhile before we try this place again. read more

The worst meal I've had in a long time. The quality of the food is pitiful. My steak was grossly under-cooked and tough as a shoe. The scone was over-cooked tough and chewy. The green peas tasted like nothing but onion. The dinner salad was rusty lettuce. Nothing about the food served was appetizing. The service however,was very pleasant and attentive. The environment was inviting and homey. read more

Stopped here tonight for dinner and to see my husbands old friend. He recommended the prime rib. It did not disappoint! Best my husband says he's ever had. My hamburger was also great. The scone was hot and delicious. Literally everything was delicious and the right temp. The service was fast and the ambiance was better than the average cafe. The place was packed but it was a Friday night and during Dino days. I would highly recommend! read more

Excellent food and service for affordable price. Definitely recommend the Friday night prime rib!

Do yourselves a favor and don't waste your time. They close whenever they want, regardless of the hours they post, and the staff just seems like they don't care about customer service. They are smug and snarky and lazy. It's unfortunate. I have been in the restaurant industry for over a decade and never leave bad reviews-but this place deserves it. read more

I've grown up in Vernal Utah, and while many things have changed, the food here hasn't. And that's not a good thing. I don't think they serve anything that ISN'T frozen. If you're looking for anything with flavor I promise you won't find it here. read more

Food is ok, but nothing amazing. Service was slow and didn't seem to care. The decor is out dated.

This restaurant was charming. Unfortunately, my positive comment about this place ends there. Steak was dry and pan fried, fried chicken was tough, and the bbq ribs were horrible. I bet it was boiled or baked and then they added the bbq sauce on top. Clam chowder was bland and had too much cornstarch. I feel robbed of my $. Plus the service was too long. First and last time read more

Nice restaurant and gift shop. The wait staff was pleasant and huge servings! The restaurant was very clean and well kept

First time in for breakfast and all in all a good meal. Straight forward breakfast, eggs and meat with hash browns. Couple of omelette choices. Biscuits and gravy and of course pancakes and French toast. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and my server recommended that I add tomato onions and jalapeño to it. She was right it hit the spot. I had sourdough toast with it and that was not your ordinary toast it was almost a half inch thick and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. And the homemade jam that went with it was the star of the show. read more

Love the feeling and the home style food. Always craving it! And the people are always so accommodating and nice.

It's hard to describe, but I think I expected more because of the entrance, sign, and location. When I see a place like this on a small town main street it's always inviting and is usually the community's crown jewel restaurant. We came as a family in a large group at the recommendation of some who'd been a few days prior when they first pulled into town. I read a few reviews here on Yelp to get an idea of what to order, and started hoping that other reviews I was reading were just overly harsh. The service is 5 stars. They have fantastic staff who are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food was as many other reviews mentioned, below average. With our group we tried a little of everything. Chicken Parmigiana, Spaghetti, Kids meals, Fish and Chips, Beef ribs, the house cheeseburger (Ranch burger? I forget what it's called), and a seafood combo plate that had shrimp, halibut or cod, etc. The chicken parm was probably the best item from the consensus I heard. The guy who got the cheeseburger felt sick all night and ended up throwing up at 2 am. I got the fish and chips. The fish was pretty good and dense, almost like a steak. The chips were unfortunately VERY plain and basic with no seasoning. We still enjoyed our experience because we were having fun in Vernal and the staff was so inviting, but the food really could use a serious renovation. I'm no restaurateur but as a customer it feels like the chef or the kitchen staff just has kinda found a rut and has no passion in what they put out. But of course, everyone's an expert, right? read more

The service was very good and food was good in the restaurant I am not sure of the catering food at convention it was not so great the pork was tough and dry but the chicken was ok I definitely would go back to the restaurant read more

We live in Wyoming and about 2x a year we come to Vernal! This place is our go to! Fast and friendly staff.Food is always fabulous! Thank you for always being amazing! read more

This place is worth stopping in. The food was good, my husband and I both had the chopped steak and grilled onion gravy, it was delicious! We could tell that everything was fresh and wasn't just your usual restaurant food which is what we have experienced when travelling. He had the vegetable soup and mine was the cheeseburger soup. Wasn't sure what that was but both were very tasty. The service was excellent and everyone was friendly with an hometown attitude. Which for myself I like to feel welcomed with a "make yourself at home" smile. They were busy but for a touristy place that is something you would expect. If we ever come back to Vernal I would love to stop back in and hope to see the same smiling faces. Personally I would not change anything about this quaint hometown restaurant. I've visited and traveled a lot places, I'm no expert on food nuances but I know good restaurants that are worth their weight in gold when someone is hungry after being on the road all day. Taste was great, service super and friendly, everything was clean. Check, Check, Check. Done. read more

Went in on the fifth of June. Ordered the French toast and it was raw in the middle. Asked if they could remake it and cook it fully. They said that it was fully cooked and couldn't do anything else for me. read more

Found this place via google on the drive in. What a horrible experience. When we were seated, around 1:30 pm, there were two other tables in the entire establishment seated. We still had to wait for a table to be cleaned. We finally sat at our table and were handed menus. Some 20+ minutes later we still had no waters, had no drink order taken, and had been ignored by every employee we tried to make eye contact with. They apparently had some subject of importance to huddle up and discuss rather than worrying about the customers. The other patrons were having no better luck getting their checks or drinks refilled. We finally got up and left. No one even noticed read more

Great stop for a filling and delicious meal, especially dinner! Workers come around on a schedule and aren't coming past super often, which is great for private conversations. Place is more open and VERY Wild West themed. read more

Great service, super cute vibes, good food. Our server was super sweet and was quick, along with the rest of the staff. They were cleaning tables, seating new parties and food was pumping out of the kitchen left and right. Loved the hometown feels and it's clearly a local go to! Don't listen to the two 1 star reviews below, this place was busy and great! Thanks again for the quick stop through, even during the beginning of the dinner rush on a Friday night! read more

Out scouting elk. Came through vernal on way back to motel. Decided to give this place a try for supper. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. Food was good and to top it all off dirt cheap. Being from Denver there is no way you can get a 3/4 pound hamburger steak for 11.99 with all the fixing. Soup salad and sides. Plus a scone? That would be a 25 dollar meal in Denver. The food was very good to. It's so good we will be stopping for breakfast on our way back through to scout for elk in the morning. read more
