    Baked 1/4 Chicken, Mac-n-Cheese, Sweet Potato
    Michael B.

    Service was quick. Dish 1 (Liver w/ Broccoli, Cheese and rice, and Squash) The liver was everything I expected (very good), the broccoli dish wish a little salty and the squash was really good. Dish 2 (Spaghetti, Sweet Potato, Broccoli, Cheese and rice) Nothing special or standout about the spaghetti. Noodles were a little too soft. Dish 3 (Baked 1/4 Chicken, Sweet Potato, Mac-n-cheese) Sweet potatoes were not quite tender. The taste was seasoned good. The chicken had good flavor to it. It was on the borderline of being dry. All in all, the food was tasty and I would recommend. My biggest negative is the plasticware was very flimsy and hard to maneuver with dishes that we had. It kept bending and no sturdiness to it. Not nitpicking, just giving a detailed review.

    Liver and rice, green beans and yams
    Keisha T.

    Went here for dinner today. When I walked in, there was one way in and one way out. No one was in line and there were three young ladies at the front. One of the young ladies approached me without hesitation and asked what would I like. I ordered liver and rice, green beans and yams. I checked out and got it to go. The place was clean and no Covid restrictions. The food was not the best. The liver was a little salty and the green beans and yams were typical out of the can veggies. The serving amount was a lot especially the meat. I may consider to return and try something other than what I got this time.

    Turkey & Dressing, Mac and Cheese, Yams

    I ordered turkey and dressing, mac and cheese, and candied yams. I had been craving homemade turkey and dressing and thought this would be the next best thing. It was not. I was disappointed in this meal. The turkey was lukewarm and very bland. The candied yams were from a can. The mac and cheese was flavorless. The dressing and gravy was okay and made the meal edible. I had high hopes for this place. I will give it another try but order something different. The service was very friendly and efficient.

    went for Sunday breakfast (early) and didn't have a wait. had amazing food and service. highly recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice!

    I really like Ranch House but there are times that I feel the meat and vegetables lacks flavor or have to much of something or not enough. I still go at times on nights that I don't feel like cooking and some days I'm surprised that the foods is so good while others days are not. I do however like that they have a menu to order from and not just meat and vegetables. The menu has a variety of choices such as wings with fries, baked potatoes options, seafood options, salads, burgers and sandwiches. So this is a route to take if you are not feeling like cooking for the night!!

    I had never heard of this restaurant until today. Me and Soldiers were looking for a breakfast close by to where we were and I found this place. Once we arrived we were told they didn't sell breakfast anymore but that didn't turn us away, because they had a spread of food that looked delicious. I ended up getting their neckbones with Mac and cheese, black eyed peas with cornbread. I must say they give you big portions because the neckbones were huge. I poured a good bit of hot sauce on my neckbones and some sugar on my peas and dug right into my plate. Just know I was a happy guy. Overall, this restaurant is a great establishment with a lot of different options to choose from, so you can't go wrong with any of your choices. Also the drinks that they have are great. I prefer the peach and lemonade combo.

    Turkey and dressing, cabbage, mac&cheese, and fried okra $7.99

    Oh, American Ranch House, where have you been all of my life? My mom heard a radio advertisement raving about this meat and 3 located in Tarrant. She decides to send me to pick up some dinner for her one evening I'm off work early. I've passed by this restaurant many times, but never had the desire to stop. As I pull up, I notice on the sign that the price for a meat and three veggies is only $7.99. What a deal! Upon entering, I looked at all of the choices. I decided to order a cup of Mac and cheese to sample. I feel like a restaurant that can't do Mac and cheese right will never see my money. My mom wanted beef tips and rice, cabbage and butter beans, so the Mac and cheese served as her 3rd side. That's a lot of food! But how did it taste was the real question. When I sunk my teeth on the fork of cheesy goodness, my heart leaped for joy. Finally! A restaurant that serves good soul food near my neck of the woods. As I rushed home to take mom her food, I felt like I had a little skip in my step! My mom raved about the food. She gave it 5 stars. I returned with my friend the same evening and ordered the baked pork chops. I must say, that in my honest opinion, this is the best meat and veggie restaurant in the city. I don't give many 5 stars, but this place earns it. Friendly and fast service, excellent price, delicious food, location (near my house) and availability (the hot bar is open all day, not just during lunch) means I'm going to be a happy repeat customer. Thanks mom!

I ordered the seafood pasta, and you could immediately tell the pasta was homemade. It was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the seafood was beautifully prepared. My daughter had the spaghetti, and my husband ordered the Waldorf salad, which was just as thoughtfully put together. Our waitress also recommended the hummus and house pickles, and I'm so glad we listened. Both were fresh, unique, and the perfect way to start the meal. From the food to the service, everything felt polished without being pretentious. It was one of those meals where every dish was executed with care and attention to detail. Overall, The Essential was such a pleasant surprise and proof that you can find five star dining experiences in the most unexpected places. If you're anywhere near Birmingham, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

They serve breakfast all day and the lunch/dinner specials are great. It's a hole in the wall place but it works. There is no dining area perse so it best to get take out. The gentlemen there were nice and courteous and offered their best seller which is the fat mama burger which is two ground 1/4lbs chuck patties, bacon, shrimp, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. It was delicious! The size of it was monstrous! It was magnificent! I had to cancel my order of fries! Lol They have beverages here but not on tap; everything is in a can. That's a good thing in my opinion. The prices of everything is very reasonable and manageable. The service is top notch but what I enjoyed the most was the conversation and recommendation as this was my first, but not last, time visiting. I'm so mad I'm just now trying them. I'll be trying their breakfast next time because I saw a plate the owner was making and it made my mouth water like a Doberman Pinscher finally getting that bone. They accept cash, debit, and credit, the latter via square and they'll email or text you a receipt if needed. Very convenient and practical. They also do catering so if you have a function coming up, give them a call. All in all, this was a great first time experience. Great recommendations, quick food service, awesome owner and cook, and worthy of service. Visit these guys ASAP!

It might have been the slowest dinner I ever had in my life. I had a 7:00 PM reservation and I arrived early and sat down at 6:50. After being greeted and ordering wine I placed an order of the pork belly appetizer at 7:05. The pork belly appetizer came out at 8:00, 55 minutes after ordering. I placed the entree order at 7:30 and it came out at 8:30. There were only 3 other tables in the restaurant. Two three tops and a two top so not even large tables. Why on earth is it taking an hour to get out an order. I have my credit card at 8:50 and got it back at 9:15. 25 minutes to charge a card? I mean I guess you can get busy but the 4 tables here had 3 people helping with them. At no point when the server came by my table did I ever say I needed another minute. So, a 2.5+ hour dinner as a single diner was ridiculous, especially considering they were not busy. The food here was truly incredible, some of the best I've had anywhere I've traveled. I absolutely loved it. You can tell they source fresh, local ingredients daily, and that commitment clearly shines through in the quality of every dish. I started with the pork belly appetizer, which was outstanding. The cut had the perfect balance of meat and fat, expertly cooked with the fat beautifully rendered. The flavors were exceptional as well, finished with a maple glaze and paired with a sweet potato cornbread that was completely unique and memorable. For my main course, I ordered the smoked ribeye, and it was flawless. The quality was top-tier, with gorgeous marbling that truly reflected a prime cut. The smoke flavor was perfectly balanced--present but never overpowering. It had a beautiful crust, was expertly seasoned, and cooked to an ideal temperature. It honestly could not have been better. They also offered a few amuse-bouches that were equally impressive. A single bite of cherry tomato with lamb bacon was one of the best bites I've ever had. To finish, I was served a watermelon and muscadine sorbet with a St-Germain finish, an incredibly thoughtful and skillful dessert. There is an immense amount of talent in this kitchen. You will never be disappointed by the food here. My experience seemed to be overshadowed by the slow service and near the end I was so ready to just leave. However I might consider returning just for the food.

I love a short menu, the menu here is the perfect length. Just one side of a sheet of paper. We tried the cauliflower to start, the flavor was amazing but the fry could have been a little bit crispier. My friend ordered the salmon plate for dinner, which I had a bit of and was INCREDIBLE. I'd definitely order that next time. I had the Mongolian beef bowl, which hit the spot, but did leave a little bit to be desired. I wasn't particularly wowed by the flavor or sear on the beef itself. Service was ok. I'll definitely come back here. The price and ambiance are right for a weeknight winter dinner out. Parking can be a little bit tricky around here.
