Calamari appetizer $20. It had bird of squid as well. Yum.
Lillian W.

I've been stopping at Harris Ranch for over 25 years. But last month was my first time ever dining at the Prime Steakhouse. All my thoughts of "I wonder what's it like to dine there" were answered. The look and vibe is a bit elevated along with the prices. The interior has big comfy modern booth seating with linen tablecloths. The booths are spread apart to have enough audio privacy. The ambiance was more intimate. The menu is compact with a lot less fewer options and differing items from the Ranch restaurant. The Prime Steakhouse is tucked between the bar and Ranch restaurant. It's a separate room from the other areas with its own entrance. My party of five adults fit in the semicircular booth. We made it work but it was a cozy fit. The service was top notch. A complimentary small round loaf of warm bread and whipped butter was quickly brought out to the table. Yum. The Ranch restaurant provides complimentary bread rolls. So it was nice that the steakhouse offered a different type of bread. I ordered the pesto Australian rack of lamb chops $38. The Hubs ordered a smoked brisket hamburger $30 and an order of chopped wedge salad $9. The wedge comes in the traditional style or chopped. The two lamb chops were panko crusted and topped with pesto and came with broccoli, carrots, and a baked potato. The chops were tasty but the flavors together didn't wow me. I'm old fashion, I would have preferred just plain ole chops without the breading and pesto. The burger is priced higher at the steakhouse versus the Ranch restaurant. But it's one of the least expensive entrees on the Steakhouse menu.

One of the few architectural landmarks and a rest area between nor cal to southern cal Love their bakery and the package meat selection. Restaurant offers dining room for more formal eating and light bites by the bar. Steak is juicy and tender, clam chowder is a whole meal of itself, hardy and filling One of favorite spots

Stopped by here last night on our way home from la. At first they told us they were full but then Ramon(dont know if he was the manager but he should be) offered to take us in. Been here before but this time was diffe=nt. Ramon was very helpful and made some suggestion. My steak was so juicy and tender, it melted in my mouth. Ramon kept coming and checking in to see if we needed anything, constantly refilling drinks, he made the experience pleasant. Great ambiance as well. Definitely coming back!

We had reservations for 5pm,and we were amazed at the crowd of people waiting for the restaurant to open. We were promptly seated in a very comfortable dining room. No tables were right beside us, giving us pleasant privacy and quiet. The decor of wood and green-painted walls was beautiful, too. I told our server from the start that I didn't want to order an appetizer because I was saving room for the bread pudding for dessert. We were soon brought a basket with hot rolls and butter. Wow, were these rolls good, very soft. I enjoyed a La Dama Rosa cocktail while my husband had a Harris Ranch IPA. The entree servings were generous. My husband had the prime ribeye with steak fries. He found it good, but not extraordinary. I had the mushroom risotto. I was immediately surprised that there weren't a lot of mushroom, and what was there was diced. There was no way to tell what mushroom was what. The picture shows most of the mushrooms that were in the dish, though I dug around to find a few hidden ones. The overall flavor was good, the Parmesan nicely evident, but the texture didn't vary a lot because of the mushroom size. It was also a heavy dish because it was mostly rice. When the server returned and was surprised I did not want to take the abundant leftovers, I explained that there hadn't been a lot of mushrooms, so there was none left in the rice. I didn't expect her to return to say my dish would be comped 50%, or for the manager to come by and apologize, going on to give us a free dessert as well. I was a little embarrassed and taken off guard; my dish had still been tasty, after all--not ideal but not bad, either. I am left with a profound gratitude for their extraordinary customer service. We ended the meal with the much anticipated almond bourbon bread pudding. I can say without hesitation that it was one of the best bread puddings I have ever had, loaded with layers of sliced almonds and perfectly soft and chewy bread chunks. The bourbon adds a distinct cleanness to the dish. I don't know if they make their own ice cream, but the single scoop was luscious. Vanilla bean flecked every bite, and the texture was light as if it had been whipped. I would say that if you love bread pudding, it is worth coming here for that alone. They do change the menu every so often, though, so check to see if this kind is still available, though I imagine their other variations are extraordinary, too. In all, a memorable meal with surprisingly attentive customer service.

Caesar salad is very good

I really wanted to like this place because food is decent and service was excellent. I like the ranch decorations giving it a little country vibe. When you take into account value, I think it's on the pricey side. On the bright side, you won't be leaving hungry because their portions are generous. My summary: + Excellent waiter who kept checking on us and was friendly (5 stars) + Ribeye steak was cooked more medium when we asked for medium rare. Waiter asked us if it was cooked how we wanted so not their fault. We were too hungry to wait. (4 stars) + Caesar salad and their butter for their bread was so savory good. (3.5 stars) ~ Prime rib is only 14oz and not as tender as let's say House of Prime Rib. Au juis and mild horseradish came on the side. It's a nice meal but not HOPR standard. (3 stars) ~ Big portion kids burger with a nice char taste but it's a plain and rather dry burger. (3 stars) - Our meal came out to $180 for 2 adult entrees, Caesar salad appetizer and a kids meal. No drinks. Yeah, rather pricey! (2 stars) We may come back and just visit the next door restaurant. It's the same menu but more sandwiches and they even have liver and onions.

Food ok Service good Ambiance ok Got the 24oz porterhouse steak, it was ok. The corned beef sandwich was ok also. Prices is kinda high but when your hungry this will do. If we're really hungry and have money to splurge we would come back again

So nice!!

Hubby brought me to stay at the Harris Resort for three nights for our anniversary to relax. So they made reservations for us for Saturday 6pm very nice. Let me say our waiter Isaiah was awesome! He was very attentive friendly has a funny bone lol & was very helpful with the dishes. I had salmon with Cabernet & hubby had steak. Then he has an espresso coffee or something was really good. They also gave us a complimentary slice of cake & put happy anniversary on it was so nice. Made us feel so welcomed too. The ambiance is always nice. If we go in the winter I'd like to maybe sit by the fireplace looks so comfy on a nice cold day. Sorry if I didn't get all the foods right but I do have pics! We will be returning!

"Salad".  Had to ask to add all the forgotten vegetables that make this more than just a plate of lettuce.
David G.

I've been coming to Harris ranch for over two decades; basically, anytime I drive up or down the 5. This isn't to deter anyone from coming here (it's still the best stop on the 5)- but rather to send a message to whatever new management seems to be determined to degrade the experience. Extensive menu has been reduced to a single page with many great items now cut out of it (cowboy cut steak, etc)- ive attached a photo of the breakfast and dinner one-pager menus. We were asking about items missing, and right afterwards the table behind us got seated and were also asking about missing favorites. I have a vision of some management meeting where the term "streamline the menu" was proferred and foolishly accepted. We had to wait a long time to be seated at 9pm with tons of open tables and little traffic. Then, once seated, I had to eventually ask for a server, not once but twice, to finally get someone to swing by. Again, two subsequentt tables got seated and went through the same predicament. Lots of staff seen hiding from customers over by the bar area chatting and hanging out. I've never had bad service here, so this was a big shock. They got the soup wrong, tried to serve us a "salad" that was literally just lettuce (we had to ask for all the veggies that were missing - see photo I've attached). Despite several promises to refill my drink, I had to go to the bar and just tip the bartender to refill it instead. I had to do the same for a top to a to-go container as well when it continually failed to materialize. Burger and steak were great, so this isn't a food issue per say, its an issue of extremely poor management both of floor staff and probably kitchen staff that has resulted in a ton of laziness amongst both. If im going to spend over $200 for dinner for 2 (no alcohol), I need better than this. To anyone from Harris reading this, don't let management tell you they are doing a good job. They are actively ruining the incredible reputation this place has earned over decades. I'll do the same with this one-star review, but I'll adjust it back once I drive back along the 5 and see things have improved. You can do this, Harris Ranch, I believe in you.

Prime rib
NANCY L.

Stopped by for a recharge and dinner before hopping back on the road, this was actually my first time at Harris ranch despite hearing about it so much. We sat at the bar dining area instead of the back restaurant, we arrived around 6:30pm and only had to wait about 10 minutes and got seated. This area had live music and the bar had a good amount of people, music does get abit loud but it's lively if you don't mind the level of sound in this area. We ordered a few things to share, prime rib was soft and paired with fried potatos and fresh vegetables. Rib eye was ordered with soup and some more fresh veggie, steak was nicely cooked at medium rare, super tasty love it! We also ordered another entree of the mushroom to share, decent portion. Will definitely be back for the steak!

Susie Q.

Diego was an amazing server. The rib eye was scrumptious and so soft. I devoured it. The green beans were a great appetizer. The main course makes me want to go back today and tomorrow. We sat in the dining room area and it was nice and just loud enough to be able to talk, but not super loud you can hear the other person. Definitely going back.

The menu

I've driven by this place so many times, and so many times, I've told myself I would try it one day. That one day happened and I wish that those so many times of me telling myself I'd visit were actual visits. A huge part of why I like this place is their complimentary bread. It's your classic dinner roll with bits of cheddar cheese in them. Savory at it's finest and very addicting. You don't even need butter with it. I swear I could eat like 10 of these easily. Harris Ranch Hickory & Brown Sugar Rub elevates this place from other steakhouses imo. Honestly, I forgot what cut of meat I got LOL but I definitely remember enjoying it with their specialty rub. The meat was also cooked just the way I like it! The service here was great! We came in towards the end of the day closer to closing and I could tell the staff was tired but they kept their professionalism and friendly demeanor so kudos to them! We asked for extra bread to take home and they gave me enough and some. DEFINITELY APPRECIATED! Don't let this place be another place you never try and just drive by! Take that exit and give it a try! I didn't mean for it to rhyme but here it is LOL.

We love Harris Ranch. Hadn't derby in a couple of years. We shared the pot roast & it was delicious just like mom's.

Steak great, veggies and potatoes shameful...

When I think of Harris Ranch, I think steaks. That's it. Never would I have thought their bakery…read morepumps out some delicious pastries and desserts. The bakery is part of the country store, which sells such random housewares and souvenir-type stuff. They have a chocolate truffle case on one side and the other side, the pastries and desserts. The pastries looked delicious and I got a few to try. They also have bags of day-old cookies for a good price. Eclair 4/5* I'm not a huge fan of eclairs with the soft fudge on top instead of the hardened chocolate. Taste wise though, it was a good eclair. The cream isn't overly sweet and the eclair itself was a light dough. Napoleon 5/5* If there's something Harris bakery does right, it's flaky pastries. Surprisingly, this Napoleon stayed crispy the entire drive home and survive even in the refrigerator the next day. Many others I've had usually get soggy, but these layers of puff pastry stayed crisp to the end of every last bite. The cream was fluffy and not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the ripe strawberries. Banana Cream Pie 3/5* I love anything banana and just had to get it when my eyes landed on the perfect swirl of whip cream covered in chunks of buttery crumbles, atop a neat little mini pie. However, the pie itself was too mushy. The crust was soggy, with the smoothness of the banana cream, soft banana slices, and rich whip cream, everything combined was too much mush. It was also too sweet. I did enjoy the crumble on top though. That was the only saving texture. Strawberry Cream Horn 5/5* Wow these were so unexpectedly delicious! The horn is super flaky and delicate, filled from end to end with a light strawberry cream. On top, bits of dehydrated strawberries were not only beautiful but added a nice tartness and texture, contrasting with the silky cream. This was a great upgrade on your classic cream horn. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts 3/5* Nothing special. They tasted better the longer they sat out because they were crisper. I prefer my cookies to have sea salt for that good balance of salty and sweet, but these cookies were just one noted. Next time, I have my eyes set on this towering cake they had on the counter and of course, take home some of those yummy cream horns.

Highly disappointing to see the Country Store as of late…read more We have been going to Harris Ranch for as long as I can remember and I am 52 years old. It feels like our home away from home as we go back and forth from Northern California and to visit our family in Orange County. We always LOVED seeing the store and its unique gifts that filled the entire place. For some time, there looks to be maybe a quarter of what they used to have. So sad... I used to come and find a lot of my Christmas gifts for people during the holidays. This past Christmas, I went in and the place looked desolate. I was confused and wondered if I missed it all? I don't know if Harris Ranch is not doing well, but it really looks like they're struggling if you look at the empty feel of the store. We just left the shop now on our way back down to Southern California and once again shocked and highly disappointment. It was bad.. I really hope that whatever happening there gets better so that the store can return to the gorgeous shop that it once was.

My previous two trips here out with my rig, I stopped by for lunch / afternoon tea next door at the…read moreHorseshoe Lounge in Harris Ranch. Today since it was packed I decided to get a table at the Ranch Kitchen. Its all the same, menus, servers. So previously having done the prime rib and filet mignon, I decided to go a different route, the Jack and John's favorite sandwich. I thought Id be getting thin sliced NY steak.....wasn't expecting a whole 10oz grilled steak. So essentially this is like the upgraded version of Jimmy John's Roast Beef Sandwich and for 40.00 / sandwich, you're getting your dollars worth in protein. I also did their steak fingers appetizer, drenched in some kind of red wine reduced, caramelized garlic herbs gravy with hints of Worcestershire sauce. Sauce was a little acidic, sour, and I would much prefer if it was like a Lee Kum Kee Branded Black Pepper sauce with oyster sauce base. But regardless, paired with foccacia sour dough, it was more than an Appetizer, and Id say a stand alone meal. Recommendations for those that don't want a big lunch: just order the appetizer steak fingers, and a clam chowder. You'll equally be full.

Our dog is a certified service animal and because of that they were able to give us a table. We waited like 10 min and we were greeted pretty quick. Food is pretty expensive but tasty so is worth the stop. Along with the menu they gave us the requirements of the behavior of the service animal. I would love that they apply same structure of service for people who dine with toddlers and children's that do not behave. They throw tantrums and is pretty upsetting and disrupt the environment of the guest surrounding that table. My dog behave as she should compared to the table next to me who had a toddler who ... well... was screaming and crying .... I hate flies and there were a couple inside the restaurant... No more notes!

Today they had a Monday feature of Tri-Tip Sandwich with either fries or fresh fruit. A free drink was included and I chose lemonade with cucumber and fresh mint. OMG that was delicious.
