The cheese was not melted completely and the fries were not done. Another guy got the street tacos and really enjoyed them and said they were good. So if you're going to eat here, the takeaway would be get some chips and queso and street tacos. The atmosphere is a bar, it is loud. There isn't really any waite staff. It's the bartender so you have to order at the bar. Everybody working here seem to be nice and the patrons were all locals. There's a couple of pool tables and a small dance floor. Remember this is a bar.

If you know food, when Texas Monthly calls a place "Texas' version of the French Laundry" and then…read moregoes on to name it one of the state's "10 Small-Town Restaurants That Put the Big Cities to Shame," you stop and take notice. And if you're one of those to take notice, draw a circle around Austin, San Antonio, Midland, Lubbock, Dallas, Wichita Falls and Waco and put Rancho Loma Restaurant + Rest at the center-shot bullseye that can be found three hours (or less) away. Do that-- and do it now-- because if you fall anywhere inside of it, you've absolutely no excuse not to avail yourself to some of the finest food and hospitality to be found in the Lone Star State. Located just a few minutes south of Coleman, TX, you'll kick yourself if you don't make the trip. Imagine the best food you've ever had-- "simple" preparations of duck or quail or steak or venison, that belie the highest level of culinary technique-- plated in high-artistic style, combining why-has-no-one-ever-thought-of-this flavor combinations, and you'll only begin to approach what Rancho Loma has to offer. And what they offer is to be found in the details, details, details. From the moment you arrive, perhaps a little road-weary, you're greeted by smiling hosts, a bevy of fowl and fauna and an expansive vista that will make you regret leaving your eyeglasses at home (so it's a good thing they have binoculars to help you take in all 300 acres). Perched to one side, a five-room bed and breakfast (the beds being the "Rest" side of the equation) whose design and modern appointments reflect a Critical Regionalism architectural style that is firmly rooted in the modern tradition, but tied to the surrounding geography and placed properly in cultural context. In short, you'll want to stay overnight. And you should, and then some. But bring enough wine or other cocktails for your stay, as Rancho Loma Restaurant + Rest is BYOB which isn't a drawback in the least. It allows diners (and overnight guests) the luxury of pairing their meals and their stay to their own satisfaction. The menus are presented in advance of your visit (we stayed two nights and were wishing for more-- we WILL return again) providing you with ample opportunity to find the wines that will pair "just so" with what's in store for you at whatever price-point makes you happy. And what's in store for you is something so far beyond good as to be spectacular. As the owners say, take your time-- the table is yours for the evening. You'll have all the time you need for great food, great wine (of your choosing) and great conversation. It's the stuff from which magic is made. And for the youngsters (or the young at heart), there's a modern, landscaped pool, an archery range, friendly and approachable livestock (and two wonderful guide dogs you'll want to take home with you) and plenty of land, land, land to explore under starry skies above. Fair warning: if you believe Cracker Barrel is 4- or 5-star dining, this might not be the place for you, but for everyone else out there-- and I know there's a lot of you-- you should make the effort. Rancho Loma is just close enough to warrant your trip and just far enough away to make you feel like you're someplace new and different. It truly is destination dining, and both the destination and the dining have been done to utter perfection. I cannot recommend Rancho Loma Restaurant + Rest highly enough. Go. Just go.

This hotel / bed n breakfast / fancy restaurant is a very interesting and nice blend of very…read morecountry and very nice. It would be like if you combined the Westin with a dude ranch with a Michelin restaurant. My group was there in January, so as you can see from the pictures, it was very dry/ brown, but im sure in the spring/summer it is gorgeous and green. The rooms are well appointed; the sunsets gorgeous. They have a lovely community porch/lookout area where you can sit wine or coffee and just soak in the scenery. They also have a community fridge for guests to utilize. There is a Nespresso in every room, as well as filtered water. They also have some very sweet farm animals (donkeys, horse, dog) that you can play with and pet. My only complaint about the rooms is that the showers have low water pressure. I assume this is b/c they are on different infrastructure than an "in the city" hotel. Not a big deal to most people, but i have long thick hair and so like strong water pressure to wash my hair quickly. As for the restaurant, it reminds me of a friendlier, more texas version of French Laundry (the famous restaurant in the Napa Valley area). There is a fixed menu of 5 courses, all of which were very tasty!! I would have liked bigger portions, but the quality was great. I greatly enjoyed the food, the other guests, and the nice but not invasive wait staff. The staff largely leaves you alone, so make sure to expect that when you stay here. They are not constantly bugging you or checking up on you. If you are looking for a lovely country getaway, do make the trip out to Coleman, TX, and spend a night or two at Ranch Loma!

I had a glass of the llano Pinot grigio and found it refreshing with its bright fruit flavor. My husband had the prescription sunglasses beer (love the name) and he enjoyed it as well. For food we had the fish and chips and bratwurst roll. Fries came with both orders and it had a satisfying crunch as did the fish. The bratwurst itself was good but I didn't care for the roll. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and it was really family friendly. We had our newborn with us and I was pleasantly surprised that a real changing table was available in both the men and women's bathroom which made it the perfect place for us to hang out for a bit. Would definitely come back again if we are in the area!
