This is a rather late review but I think it's worth sharing anyway. We stopped by on our way to LA. This was my second time here and this time we went to the Harris BBQ. The line was long but moved fast. I was with a company of 3 and we all enjoyed our food. We ordered Santa Maria classic BBQ tri-tip, salads and smoked meats on the side. Their beef tip salad was an absolute winner! I am not a fan of beef meat but this was an exception for me. I think because the beef was crispy, it came as a whole different experience for me. Will definitely order it again. read more

The food was a mixed bag. The Caesar salad was just okay -- the chilled plate made it feel like the salad may have been pre-made. The house bread, though, was warm, soft, and delicious. The burger was pretty good overall: the patty came medium rare, leaning toward rare, with a nice char on it. The top bun was solid, but the bottom bun got soggy and wasn't worth the calories, so I left it behind. Service was okay. The ambience was very nice, makes a fun stop for charging on during road trip. read more

Harris Ranch is a favorite. We stop every time we are on a road trip on I5 to eat a meal. Any dish with beef is excellent. A lunch favorite is the steak salad. The Loaded omelet is huge and tasty. The servers are friendly and on point. We stayed at the hotel for the first time and we were impressed. Check-in was smooth with great service. The fresh baked cookies were unexpected and delicious. The rooms are huge compared to the average hotel room. There are two separate sinks with great counter space. The shower is walk-in and no tub. The bathroom floors are marble like tile and the room is wood laminate. The bed is comfortable with both hard and soft pillows. The surprise furniture piece was a soft recliner. There is a lap pool for swimmers and three hot tubs on the property. The room price was the most reasonable of all the hotels on our trip with a much better experience. read more

Stayed at the hotel again. What a beautiful and well maintained place. Had dinner in the Horseshoe lounge and breakfast in the restaurant. The food is Stupendous. I would Highly recommend this place read more

We pass through Coalinga about 4 times per year and never pass Harris Ranch by. While we have stayed at the resort and eaten in the restaurant, we mostly stop by on our way through. We love the country store for there curios and munchies. I also usually buy some of that great Harris Ranch beef. They pack it is ice so it easily makes the 10 hour trip home from there, Whether stopping for a quick shopping trip in their country store, some great food in the A+ restaurant, or grabbing a brisket sandwich at the general store next door. Harris Ranch has it all! They also have clean restrooms an charging stations. Break the monotony, Harris Ranch is a must stop on your long road trip down I-5! read more

We have been to HR RV Park twice now. Once for an overnight and once for a weekend stay. Both visits were great! The cookies at check-in are awesome. The bathrooms are some of the best and cleanest you'll ever see in an RV park and the FHU, level, pull through spaces are wide and long. The WiFi is good enough for streaming. There are 2 dog parks and a set of pickleball courts. Access to the gym is included with your stay. We enjoyed the huge heated pool, the pool bar and two of the restaurants. There is free coffee in the hotel lobby offered to all RV guests every morning and it is very good. They also have tea for the non-coffee drinkers. I would recommend Harris Ranch Resort RV Park to others and we will be coming back, since the entire family loves the pool and the food. read more

We love coming in here it's truly a family affair. We enjoy the steaks so much; the flavor and the way they're cooked are always perfection. The service makes the whole experience even more amazing. I usually share my steak with my daughter because the portions are pretty big, and they're always happy to divide it into two servings for us. The Caesar salad is absolutely delicious, and dessert is a must. Every visit is an amazing experience from start to finish. read more

The hostess greeted us warmly. We enjoyed the clean Ranch style decor, fascinating Ranch Antiquities, confortable seating, great menu and fantastic service! We were convinced that our server loved his job, took our orders for four including the kids meal and remembered every detail requested. Hubby and i split a burger meal and they were so accommodating. Gave us everything we wanted and more. The burgers were top grade beef, on fresh hot buns with all the accouterments. And those HorseShoe fries were as good as we've ever had, crispy outside and soft inside, served aplenty in individual baskets. The kids meal was a winner for our particular 12 year old "Really Good TriTip" loaded with fresh vegetables, that we helped to polish off. Portions were overall generous and a great price. We look forward to our next time passing through for another fantastic dinner! read more

The food was very appetizing, we all got the ribeye dip sandwich with fries. We were seated very fast for a Sunday afternoon. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the service for more drinks was pretty slow. Overall though it was great and we'll be back! read more

This review is just for the restaurant. Foods were ok for the price they charged, nothing stands out and nothing to complain. Portions are bigger than we expected. Price is reasonable. They are always busy each times we stopped by. Services fast, quick. The only thing was when i asked for a cup of warm water, server stated that they only had cold or hot water? I don't know that is the policy of the restaurant? read more

If you're ever traveling on I-5 South toward LA (or coming from LA), Harris Ranch is a must-stop. Their steak is incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. The bakery on-site is amazing as well--they have delicious cookies and an incredible cake that's not to be missed. The staff is extremely friendly, and the ambience is subtle, clean, and relaxing. It's a great place to rest, grab a meal, and recharge while on the road. Highly recommended for anyone passing through! read more

I only came to Harris Ranch Resort to visit its meat counter which has a great selection of beef. Prices were not too bad, service is great and friendly at their meat/bakery market. Specialty coffee is available there too! From what I can see, they have three places offering hot food, a cafe, a BBQ near their gas station, and a fine dining area. There are motel like rooms if you need a place to stay, but we were only passing through. read more

Beautiful holiday decor made for a festive rest stop during our road trip. Shared the Ribeye Dip and Reuben Sandwiches. The ribeye was tender and tasted great with the horseradish sauce. Reuben was drier than expected, but I enjoyed the extra sauerkraut I asked for. Very accommodating with children. I would definitely make a stop here again. read more

Yesterday the four of us were returning from Palm Springs on a week long golf getaway. We stopped here for a late lunch. Ordered- * hubby had a Reuben sandwich with regular fries * I had the derby cheeseburger with sweet potato fries * sis & BIL shared a derby cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and a bowl of cream of mushroom soup Pros: * burgers cooked to order. We both ordered medium well burgers. Grilled onions * hubby said plenty of corned beef in his sandwich * sis & BIL cheeseburger split by the kitchen and had equal amounts of fries Cons: * $0.50 for grilled onions. Bermuda onions were barely grilled * $5.00 split order charge * my Arnold Palmer was very weak. Hardly tasted any lemonade or iced tea. * switched to a Pepsi. Too much carbonation since fountain drink. * food was lukewarm as it was a very chilly day out and drafty in the restaurant. From the kitchen to our table affected the food temperature. * service was spotty. Hubby had to request coffee refill. This was an average experience compared to previous dining experiences here. read more

**October 2025: Sunday Afternoon Visit** I've done a handful of roadtrips and have always been curious about the steaks at Harris Ranch. This past weekend my friend and I decided to mark it off my bucket list. I saw two restaurants on the resort: one for everyone, and one exclusively for adults. I suspect that they both offer the same things, but for the sake of time we did the for everyone dining option as the adults only had a longer wait. My friend and I were seated immediately, and the interior of the restaurant had a lot of cowboy flair. I ordered a filet mignon medium rare with mashed potatoes and a clam chowder. The clam chowder was delicious, though served in a very small cup. The steak itself had a nice char which indicates that it's heated up on a really high temperature. The meat itself was okay, I've had more tender filet mignon, but it was fine. Overall, it's okay. Glad I checked it off my list though! read more

Getting more pricy yet the steak still on the salty end. Service wise: pretty quick, waiter came around to ask how was food while they attended to several tables Ambiance: the wooden sitting chair way too small and easy to hurt the shoulder of the knee caps!!! Needs to be wider for easier movement, especially during the winter with heavier coats on. Very uncomfortable sitting area unless you are seated at the open round tables. read more

The ribeye dip was very tasty and savory. The meat was flavorful and satisfying, but the top side of the bread was a bit too much for me so I didn't eat most of it. I ordered it with mixed fruit on the side, but it was quite sour. Overall the ribeye dip itself was really good. read more

This review is for the Harris Ranch Restaurant. Plenty of parking and charging for electric cars. Very child friendly. We were given adult and kid menus along with crayons. We tried the filet steak and eggs and came with biscuits. Also ordered a bagel and cream cheese. Also tried the berry boost juice and root beer float. I always enjoy the steak here and this visit was no exception. I wasn't very fond of the biscuits tho...tasted more like bread rolls. The bagel was good. Lots of seating and various rooms. Live the decor especially the chandeliers. Staff was pleasant. Great service. Great dining experience. read more

This place is awesome! Had dinner here a week ago with my son and buddy in our way to New Mexico. We all ordered the chicken fried steak dinner. It was so delicious and very filling!

Great place!! read more

Had a really nice stay here. The resort is beautiful and relaxing, just what I needed. First, a big THANK YOU to Christian (Chris) for his wonderful customer service. He helped us get to our room and get settled. He also provided great service in the pool area. Now to the bad part. Room service was awful! I ordered a Chinese chicken salad, but it didn't come with the chicken. That should've been our first clue. The next morning my friend and I ordered Denver omelettes. I wanted the traditional omelette with ham and she wanted bacon. We had to send her omelette back twice. Finally we asked are the using Canadian bacon. They said no and they would bring another omelette. Well we never received it. No call no show! Totally unacceptable! Finally we went to the restaurant and to our chagrin they had the BEST bacon! Should've just went to the restaurant in the first place! The Steakhouse is great too! read more

We usually stop here for dinner but today we stopped by for breakfast. Was worth it. The steak and egg, & the tri-tip breakfast burger was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly , the tri-tip burger was super yummy. Everything was just right. The service is excellent. Plenty of chairs and table for a Wednesday morning. It's such a pretty restaurant. Tons of light and spacious. The bathroom is clean too. Love this place. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with our family while hauling our travel trailer, planning to enjoy some coffee, pastries, and a quick restroom break. Since we were towing, I parked along the side of the restaurant to give myself enough room to maneuver safely. We had been parked for maybe three minutes when a silver security vehicle pulled up. A young man stepped out and asked if we were planning to sleep there for the night -- this was around 3pm. I told him we were just stopping for a short break. Without another word, he got back in his car and drove off. I understand that Harris Ranch now has an RV park and likely wants to prevent people from staying on the property without paying. That makes sense. However, there's definitely a better way to approach customers or potential customers. A simple, friendly explanation like, "Just so you know, we have a full hookup RV park if you're interested in staying overnight. Here are the rates," would have gone a long way. Instead, it felt like we were being assumed guilty of something before even stepping inside. We've stopped here many times in the past and have always had incredible experiences. As usual, the pastries and coffee were delicious. The interaction with security just felt a bit awkward and unnecessary. read more

Wow, just wow. Beautiful place, the restaurant was amazing. Service was excellent. The salad was delicious, just perfect. I didnt even get a picture of it. read more

I love Harris Ranch. A big part of it is the ambiance. It's a fun stop for dinner on a road trip. During the Christmas season it's quite magical and pretty. The service is usually very good. There's a bar in addition to the steakhouse, which looks fun. It has a different menu than the steakhouse, and I haven't tried it yet. There's a nice gift shop, and you can also buy steaks and seasoning to take home and cook as well. The last time I was there I decided to go for the Wagyu steak which was over $100. It was supposed to be incredibly tender and I wanted to try it. I ordered it medium rare. It came out medium well and it was really not that great. They redid it for me, but it came out rare. It was ok but not amazing. This was the only time that I was disappointed at Harris Ranch. The NY Strip has always been really good (and less expensive). I will definitely return, despite this last visit having the bummer steak experience. I won't order the Wagyu. In addition to the restaurant, they also have another spot by the gas station which serves BBQ. Harris Ranch may not be the TOP steakhouse around, but it's got a nice warm family atmosphere, very solid food, and a classy vibe in the main dining room. read more

We have eaten at the sit down restaurants & the bbq express many times over the last few decades and hopefully many more. They have never disappoint. The food has been consistently good. HRR is a good spot to stop & take a breather between here and SoCal besides the Tejon Ranch Outlets. The table service in the restaurant can sometimes be touch & go as in one could feel rushed but the staff are not unfriendly, they do not mean to as there are demanding and rude customers for every complaint of underperforming staff. I feel the staff here are trained to be mindful that diners are generally anxious, tired, agitated, confused and hungry motorists/tourists/travelers so they are as friendly and efficient as possible. Harris Ranch beef is known all over CA, heck, I see their products at my local Safeway or is it Lucky, not sure. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant since we were little! Every time we go to SoCal we always stop here! The waitstaff and hosts are always so kind and welcoming! We usually opt in for their casual dining since we're in our comfier clothes or pjs even. The menu is perfect, has a little bit of everything! The food is so fresh and their complimentary bread is absolutely delicious! Everything is clean and well kept, bathrooms are super clean and the floors as well. It's always fun eating here because after you can walk around their gift shop and even purchase the wines they offer and meat to take home!! They even have desserts and pastries available too along with other cute gifts. Due to it being the Christmas holiday season, it's decorated so cute inside with Christmas trees, ornaments and garland everywhere. It's adorable! We love coming here and we'll continue to do so! read more

This is more of a review from a rest stop point of view, since we didn't really eat there or stay there overnight. However, this is a great place for a rest stop. We charged my boyfriend's Tesla here since there are a couple charging stations and the bathrooms were quite clean and there were a lot of stalls. During the Christmas time, there are SO many decorations everywhere, from top to bottom from the outside area, the lobby, the side entrance, and all throughout the gift shop and hallway too. The decorations were also themed as well, with some more religious decor, pink Christmas, Mrs. Claus themed, elves themed, animals themed, and so much more. It really brought forth a feeling of Christmas wonder and magic, so if you're travelling up or down during the holiday season, this is a must stop. Additionally, the gift shop not only has neat trinkets, but also some pretty unique goods like dry mixes for soups, hot sauces, honey and jams, fresh cut deli meats, nuts, ice cream, baked goods, and so much more! You can easily kill an hour or so here if you need to charge or freshen up before hitting the road again. read more

Harris Ranch is always a stop to LA for breakfast but this is the first time we've ever stopped on the way back for lunch. When I tell you the servings sizes are monstrous I mean it. Just look at the photo of the mozzarella sticks we ordered off the kids menu. As always, the food was amazing and staff was really friendly. The reason why it's 4 stars is because they need to fix their portion sizes for kids. read more

We tried the bourbon bacon jam burger. It was absolutely sinful. Delicious it's giant and expensive so if you are up for it, a split with someone at your table is a great idea on that specific burger. The French fries that accompanied the burger were also amazing, thick, crispy and glutinous. The service, shout out to Reuben, was fantastic! read more

We stopped at Harris Ranch as a quick halfway break to charge up and grab some food, and it was a great choice! The place was clean, cozy, and very comfortable for a stop along the way. The fresh bread was amazing, and both the ribeye sandwich and the steak were absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It was exactly what we needed before getting back on the road. We'll definitely plan to stop again next time! read more

Came in here on a Sunday evening for dinner we walked in. We were kind of confused because of the hours posted on the menu and on yelp it stated that they were open from 5 to 10 when we walked in the bar area was fully open and the restaurant was also open so that was a total loss. The other thing is when we asked the young lady at the front. It's like she didn't know what to say. She seemed confused. Well anyways we got to be seated in the bar area and there was a couple right behind me. They came in fighting and he pulled his chair and hit mine. He didn't even apologize he was fighting with his wife the whole time we were having dinner he made it so uncomfortable and then he would get up to walk out. The wife would get up to walk out and he was being very rude to the waiter and they even had to bring the manager in. I don't even know if these people paid for their meal which is none of my concern but to walk into a nice decent restaurant for dinner and to be seated next to these people that don't know how to act they should've set them in the corner way in the back, but anyways the place is beautiful. It's very clean. They have a lot of staff the prices were fine. It's just that that couple made my dinner not peaceful at all and very uncomfortable I was just waiting for a fight to break out. I'm suprised they were not asked to leave read more

So I was hoping for so much more. We stopped on our way home ( from vacation) for a late breakfast/ brunch around 10am . I was hoping for a good steak and eggs.

I got some snacks and yummy jams to take home. read more

Stopped at Harris Ranch to try and repeat our previous experience. This time around was just ok, so I wanted to review what we did the previous time. Upon review, we didn't get warm bread rolls this time! That was a hit the previous time, so I'd recommend asking the server about those. Portions are massive, so I would still go with the Prime Rib with split plate charge. The charge is $9.95, but you get an additional soup and side. Kids meals are normal sized adult portions - so that's a good deal. Thought the tri-tip was reasonable. I would recommend avoiding the grilled chicken. That was way overcooked. read more
