We went to El Rancho to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Both my husband and I have gone to El…read moreRancho on and off since our childhood. We were the first diners on Saturday night and had our pick up tables. The restaurant was clean. The staff were very friendly. Fortunately, we got in just ahead of a large party so that our order was not delayed. Our server was very occupied with a large party. We were very fortunate to meet the owner Ray. We were amazed to learn that he has owned the restaurant for 40 years and is still working at 78. He was very friendly and told us about himself and his family. He made our visit. The bread they serve is delicious. We both had the balsamic vinegar dressing on the salad. The dressing was evenly distributed, and very tasty. The onion rings are crispy and the batter is flavorful. We both had the ribeye. They served it with atomic horseradish. I wasn't careful and nearly cried.

There is a full bar which includes a fireplace! I ordered the steak and lobster , it came with a salad and baked potato, bread and butter was at the table as soon as we sat down and our drink order was taken . The friendly waiter brought a plate of pickles, olives and carrots to nibble on while our food was cooked. Our food came out in about 15 minutes which to me seemed fast considering the quality. Our med rare steaks were cooked perfectly and were full of flavor as they are cooked over charcoal. The lobster was also cooked perfectly, this 2 pound lobster was very sweet and seasoned perfectly. It's not cheap to eat here and worth every penny. It's a great place for a group or a date. We loved this spot and I recommend this spot at the highest level.

I rated this one higher than the Livermore location one because considering the options around and…read morehonestly the overall quality seemed a bit better. This place felt like a really elevated Applebees. And I don't use that derogatorily, and I know I used that same analogy before. But this type of elevated is actually more closer to an evening celebration out and you dress kinda noice or church nice. I like the corn bread, the steak, and coconut shrimp. Service is on point. It's a big place with lots of parking, I'd reserve if you can. I'd go back but honestly it's kinda expensive to keep going back so often which I said this is like church nice / evening out. There's a bar with tv too so can be a cool spot to watch the game at. This is a nice date night spot too with some good wine selection

Everyone is paying attention...! BAD BOY BILLY SLY

Mother's Day dinner was a pure shit show with this place. We…read moreknew it'd be busy so we ordered "to go" from the app. First issue: the app does not take orders over $125. We're a big family so I ended up splitting it into 3 orders. Second issue: because I split the order, an item 3 members wanted kept going out of stock. The prime rib 16oz then the 14oz then the 12oz (only 2 of the 3 went thru on the order). Third issue: I went a few minutes just before the "scheduled" pickup time to pay the orders (app only took Apple Pay, giftcard, or pay at pickup). At this point I haven't gotten a call or text about my order. It's my turn up to the counter ("to go" pickup is outside) and ask about any possible available prime rib and she says they're out. I figure ok at least we got the 2 for the to-go order. I informed her that I have 3 to-go orders from the app. She goes to check on the orders and returns to inform me that they are COMPLETELY out of prime rib and had cancelled them from one of the orders. So basically 2 family members weren't getting dinner. ME being one of them. On mf MOTHER'S DAY! I kept my cool and proceeded to order dinner replacements. At this point we were 20min past the "scheduled" pickup time of 7:45pm and the orders still weren't ready. I asked the gal if I had ordered in the morning for pickup for dinner, would that have guaranteed the prime rib? She flat out said "Nope. We run out whenever we run out." Basically the app does not match up to their inventory and they don't hold anything for online/app orders. It's all first-come-first-served regardless of when you order. In other words the app is useless. Fourth issue: It seemed we had finally gotten the orders straight. All combined orders totaled over $300. I asked if I could get a discount since they cancelled part of my order without letting me know. They gave me my $12 appetizer free. I asked if I could get 10% off since the replacement dinners were more. About another $10 off. I thought whatever $22 off and still paid over $300 combined. Fifth issue: I asked how long for the order with the replacement steaks and she said should be quick about 20-30min. That seemed quick for how busy they were. So I waited. Not that I had a choice. 45 MINUTES LATER... Our food is finally ready and I'm still composed. I am at the counter and get the 3 huge bags. I start looking through them to try and make sure I have everything cause again it was multiple orders and I live 25-30min away. It was 9pm and so I'm trying to quickly go through the bags. Half the containers are soggy and cold. I think these might have been ready when I got there, but they're wanted me to wait until everything was ready. During the chaos the gal behind the counter asks me to move over cause they're backed up so she can help the next person. I tell her "I waited. They can wait." The lighting outside sucks. I can barely make out what's in each container. She again tells me to move to the side. I'm annoyed at this point and say "Ma'am I'll move when I'm ready." She calls over some shift mgr and tells her I won't move. That B of a mgr slams the window shut. At that point I was like F it. There's not enough room or light for me to check everything so I leave. Last issue: of course a bunch of sides are missing and some made incorrectly. By the time we tally up the damage the place was closed and no one is answering the phone. Cold, soggy food. Unhappy family. And a pissed off mom... on Mother's Day. I usually genuinely like Texas Roadhouse. Food is good. Service is ok, but yesterday they were crap through and through. Going today to get a refund of all the missing sides and extras that we never got.

I've been going to Waterloo Rib for years. Today, my sister took me because I did her taxes and…read moreshe's getting a nice tax refund. Up front, I wanted to express why I'm giving this review a 5-star rating. It was entirely because of the Manager Betsy and of course the flavor of these ribs we had. I don't want to put this restaurant down or nit-pick the issues both my sister and I had. I wouldn't think that would be right of me and to the restaurant. Let's just say, we had issues and Betsy, God bless her, she took care of business and made everything right and even went beyond what we expected. Personal service is foremost what's important at any eating establishment, along with the quality of the food. The ribs and pesto pasta was to die for, and that's why I keep coming back. The three serves that were there attending to us, need better training. The food is always great and I will go back.

What a mistake! A person who didn't wanna wait any longer gave us their buzzer. After we got seated, we handed our buzzer in. To my husband, surprise, the hostess was extremely, extremely rude and replied to him. We don't do that here!!!! Our waitress was extremely pleasant and professional! We ordered the chicken and rib combo, the ribs were just ok but the chicken was dry. For the price overall, we expected much more. I can't say that it left a good lasting impression on us. Our waitress gave us a couple of extra ribs in our to go containers. That was very kind of her. Unfortunately, we won't be dining here again.

Finally she came back and took our food orders after we had been already sitting for 45 mins. Honestly I was ready to go to another restaurant in the area because I've never waited this long.

Father's Day dinner with my family and friends at StoneBrier. We ordered off their special menu and…read morecovered a lot of ground between five people. Some plates were worth it, others weren't, and at the prices they're charging the gaps were hard to ignore. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal. The deviled eggs were a hit at the table and went fast. The jalapeño on each one was a nice touch, though the heat varied depending on which egg you grabbed since it was just a thin slice. The salmon cakes were solid, nothing to complain about. My mom's ceviche tostada was loaded, the avocado was generous and fresh, but the ceviche itself lacked the acidity you expect from the dish and had very little shrimp in it. She said it felt more like a lunch item than a dinner offering, though two of them were filling. My mom's friend had the steak frites, which was the standout plate of the night: a lean cut with a rich mushroom béchamel, well cooked, and the frites were fried rather than what you might expect, but the flavor delivered. My dad's spinach salad was underwhelming, overdressed with a balsamic that was too sharp and overpowered everything else. My ribeye was the disappointment. At $65 I expected better. It was thin, closer to pounded than what you'd expect from the cut, came out medium instead of medium rare, and didn't feel substantial for the price. The baked potato was a basic side, sour cream and onion, nothing more. The broccolini arrived at room temperature, borderline cold, which was unexpected. The au jus on the side didn't add much for me. Service was attentive but veered into overdone territory, the kind of performative politeness that signals they want a good tip more than they're genuinely being warm. It was noticeable. Also worth knowing: if you're seated near the windows, the afternoon sun can be blinding depending on when you go. The atmosphere is genuinely nice and this place works better as a brunch spot than a special occasion dinner destination. I've had better meals here before, which is why I know they can do better. One practical note: if you're parking in the disabled spots near the leasing center next door, the sidewalk doesn't connect to the restaurant entrance. You'll need to go through the parking lot to get there.
