If this were anywhere else I would probably give 2 stars, but not bad for the options nearby. The brisket is the better of the meats we tried - chicken and tri-tip were the other two. Brisket is quite dry though without BBQ sauce. Chicken is not bad but also needs sauce. Tri-tip was too chewy. Of the sides, potato salad was good. Cornbread was good. S.O. got the mac and cheese and was disappointed. Ran out of horseradish and regular BBQ sauce while we were there. Or the guy just didn't want to get us the regular BBQ? Anyway, had the spicy BBQ which is not very spicy so that was fine. Ordered online which I strongly recommend. But check your order because they forgot the sauces. We were eating there, so I just went back to ask for them, but without the BBQ sauce, the meats would've been so hard to eat. Next to the Shell gas station, Lots of seating around.

I use to work in a small cafe back in the day so working in food service can be trying sometimes. I noticed they have added some menu items and Friday/Saturday dining options as well. 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. They also had several flavors, strawberry-Hibiscus, strawberry, raspberry, and the cucumber mint lemonade. I chose to dine in and I received my food hot. The fries were perfect. Crispy and not greasy. I chose a hot chipotle ranch & ketchup. Yah, being a vegetarian is hard. I wasn't vegetarian today. I tore up that sandwich and left no crumbs ok maybe the butt end of the roll but that's for Buddha. While waiting I saw the advertisement for Friday night dinners & Saturday Brunch with Mimosas & Micheladas. It's just two staff so go easy on them. They off a 3% discount if you pay in cash. They also accept tap pay. Cool tunes too. Until next time. . .SYOYelp

This is a rather late review but I think it's worth sharing anyway…read more We stopped by on our way to LA. This was my second time here and this time we went to the Harris BBQ. The line was long but moved fast. I was with a company of 3 and we all enjoyed our food. We ordered Santa Maria classic BBQ tri-tip, salads and smoked meats on the side. Their beef tip salad was an absolute winner! I am not a fan of beef meat but this was an exception for me. I think because the beef was crispy, it came as a whole different experience for me. Will definitely order it again.

It's enough for 3-4 people to share. The service was great and I would give their restroom a score of 6 out of 10. There was some spider webs they need to clean up.

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.

We happened to come for gas around lunch time and decided to try the food at Wild Jacks. Burnt Ends Burrito: Brisket, tri-tip, rice, beans, chipotle cheddar cheese, wild jack's ranch. The burnt ends are the most desired part of a Brisket. This one tasted more like leftover meat and I couldn't taste any of the burnt ends. This is a very good way to get rid of leftover scraps but they should change the name. Pulled Pork Nachos: Had a nice looking color from the salsa but the pork was dry and not that great. Sweet Potato Fries: They had that cornstarch coating that some places do to make the fries more crunchy, tasted OK but I prefer them as normal fries. Kid's Cheeseburger: A bit bland and normal for the price we paid, I think they would have enjoyed the McDonald's one more.

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!

However, the prime rib was just average and definitely not worth the price they're charging. For a place known for steak, I expected more consistency. The bread was a letdown--cold and hard, which is surprising given the overall pricing. When you're paying premium steakhouse prices, you expect better quality across the board, especially with sides and basics like bread. Service was also just okay. We waited longer than what I'd consider normal for a dinner service, and nothing really stood out in terms of attentiveness. That said, the setting is nice and it's a convenient stop if you're driving north. But honestly, it's not worth going out of your way for ( paid $120 for 2)

But the more you progress through your meal, the more you realize the meat is cooked medium well. Still good though but sort of fell short this time around. I enjoyed the roasted vegetables alotmore this time while pairing it with the mashed potatoes. Was hoping they had Creme Corn and Creme Spinach like Lawry's but guess thats asking too much in the middle of no where Coalinga California Cow Country.

Gonna go home and make myself a Michelin Rib eye dinner and some Korean BBQ tri tips. :) Note to server: y'all forgot the raw horseradish I put in a service request for.
