Its become a "haven" for me during the day. The regulars are an interesting group some quite notable. You have a pilot for Philip Morris who may pop in on occasion , two well known "movers and shakers" who will remain nameless, sailors and pilots who travel far and wide seeing and living part time in places most people can only dream of. Also as Rugby season begins you have a large contingent of Rugby fans and players who hail from South Africa, big and brawney, good looking well mannered wuth a happy and boisterous attitude that livens the room and makes one smile. You can find these " young bucks" in GAR most Saturday mornings watching their game. You want good food with healthy options? Go to The Great American Ranch. It won't disappoint!

We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very friendly and attentive even though the bar was full. I didn't go back into the back room but was told there is corn hole and line dancing. There is also an outside bar and patio that quite a few were enjoying despite the awful humidity from the rain that day. The bathrooms were fairly clean. Not the best but useable and well stocked.

I had my first horseback riding experience here, and it was honestly better than I expected…read more I rode a horse named Preacher, and he was such a good boy. Super calm, gentle, and perfect if you're nervous or brand new to riding. I'd definitely recommend him for first-timers. My husband rode Kahlua. She was funny and entertaining; trying to eat everything that came across her path. Lol The guides were upbeat, informative, and kept everything running smoothly, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. You can tell they know what they're doing. All of the staff were friendly, patient, and really knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. I had a great time and can't wait to come back again!

This is a thumbs up, five yum review

I love that I've gotten to know him and I feel great about how he treats his animals. We started with just egg delivery, but now often get chicken, pork and grass-fed beef. He even found me one last ham a week before Christmas, and then promptly answered my frantic email on Christmas Eve for cooking instructions! His prices are cheaper than Whole Foods, and I trust his meats' quality and animals' welfare more than pre-packaged meat. I have been recommending Sylvanaqua Farms to anyone who will listen!

For starters the risotto and broccolini is so good it melts in your mouth. The chicken pesto is cooked perfectly and very moist. It's stuffed with cheese and pesto which is flavored nicely. Now the steak. OMG!!! The steak was better than Ruth Chris!! It was cooked medium and came perfect!! The au jus sauce that came with it rocked my taste buds!! I dipped everything in it. The fried okra was absolutely the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were good also. Needless to say the $51 dollar steak meal was delicious and absolutely worth it!! We appreciate Ashley for serving us and offering recommendations for our next visit. She also made our Golden Rum Punch and Mistletoe Martini. The venue is established in an old building with a really cool set up inside. Absolutely the best place to eat in Danville!
