    Kids tririp with fruit instead of cookie
    Yiuing P.

    Harris ranch steakhouse had same entrance as Harris ranch restaurant. So even though the steakhouse was "adults only" we were moved into the steakhouse area from a different entrance. Other our waiter was a little bit, lacking in emotional intelligence, the food was generous and good tasting. We ordered the kids tri-tip, which was only $16 and it came with a generous amount of vegetables and then we substituted the cookie for a full plate of fruit due to allergy. 5/5 The steak sandwich was basically a full 10 ounce steak on top of a slice of bread and some shredded iceberg lettuce and some slices of tomato. No wonder it was $40. I was very happy with it. The Derby burger was good, nice half pound burger, patty with melted cheese and the normal burger sauce. $20 The kids soup was also five dollars. My mother enjoyed the clam chowder which had a lot of clam and was very milky. 4.5/5 As expected, smelled like cow manure at dinner time. Outside But that's Kettleman city/Hanford/Central Valley. You wouldn't expect anything less, especially directly at a ranch. Overall, had a good time. Very pleased with our trip, although we may not be back for a while due to the prices

    It's been a few years since we were last here for a meal. Of course going heading north or south on the 5, it's kind of a stop for everyone. One of those places that's its a must to try out and if you're craving a steak. They have both the hotel area as well as the restaurant. Plus most people would see this place if there's charging their car as the charging station is literally right in-front of the entrance. We stopped off hoping to grab a meal and to watch the Mexico and England game that was going on. Well that was a dud as the bar dining area with televisions that had the game on was 21 and older. We had some minors with us and our pup so that didn't work. I did speak to the hostess that was at the counter and asked if they had a television in the main dining area. They said there's a room that they could turn the tv on but once we got to that hostess table and asked them about it, they mentioned that there was no television. The whole reason was to have a meal and watch the game. We ended up not staying as it wasn't worth it. The last time we did enjoy our meal in the bar area. This time we were hoping to have another meal but it just wasn't available with our situation. The place does have a nice country store with amazing fun and nice stuffs as well as a nice butcher. You don't get those at places much these days. This visit wasn't what we were hoping for but I guess it wasn't meant to be. It is off the freeway a little ways but most people will see it when they stop for gas or charging station. Theres plenty of parking along the front. Also hotel/resort is right next door. It's a cool place that's kind of in the middle of nowhere. There is a small town but beside that, there's not much there.

    On our way up to SF, we wanted to make sure we hit by Harris ranch for a solid steak. We got the beef filet tails as an appetizer, the meat itself was really good however it was OVERPOWERED with lime... every bite was so sour As for the streak- I personally thought it was okay but my partner thought though cooked well it was smothered in butter We sat at the adults only section so that was a nice touch, service was okay nothing special.

    Medium rare requested.

    I used to live nearby, back in the early 80's. Not sure I ever dined here though. I learned the resort is a more casual version of the higher end restaurant. I was seated in the bar area (no choice offered), which was odd as this was mid-week and the place was far from crowded. I was attended quickly and placed an order for a Tanqueray martini. It arrived well mixed. I decided on a porterhouse after confirming with my waiter that the filet would not resemble a t-bone, but be a full filet as a porterhouse should. The steak was cooked properly, salad and sides fresh and delicious. I took off a star because my waiter gave up on me. He had checked in several times (I eat really slow these days and it was a lot of food) and the last time offered to bring me a box. I was ready to order dessert, but after a full ten minutes of an invisible waiter, I went to the hostess and offered to pay. She said she would send my waiter to my table. So, back to my table I went and waited some more. By the time he arrived, I was very unhappy. I had planned on coffee and dessert. But ended up going to the gas station next door and picking up some canned espresso and cream. Walking to my car, was an olfactory assault. If you've ever driven past Harris Ranch and the miles of cows standing under the shade structures in their own feces, you have a mild sense of what I experienced. But this was so much worse. My eyes began to water as I imagined I was walking through the feed lots. The stench of urine and cow crap was obnoxious. Some way to end an otherwise good meal. Between the service and the outdoor aroma, I doubt I'll return.

    *This is a review for the resort itself, not the restaurant, as we did not eat there but opted for the Harris Rabch BBQ House instead (delicious). My husband and I were roadtripping from San Diego to camp outside of Sacramento and got a flat tire near the resort. It was 110 degrees out but somehow I was so charmed by this place, I was able to convince him to get us a room for the night. Our room was so quiet, large, clean, and cute. The best was so comfortable, but they could add a pillow for soft pillow sleepers, as both were so overstuffed and big that I gave up and slept on a sweatshirt The property has three hot tubs, a lap pool, three restaurants, multiple gift stores- I mean, all things considered, it was adorable. If I ever find myself trapped in the armpit of California mid July again, I would come back for sure!

    Food was delicious. Very fresh, great ambiance and the staff were friendly. Family friendly and they have a section for adults only.

    A must stop anytime I'm on my way home from Southern California. This place is off the I-5. I've been here a few times, always on weekends, but this was the first time I came on a weekday. It's also the first time I did not have to wait for a table to be available! I believe my waitresses name was Kristina who was great. Great service! I ordered the 14 oz ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a Cesar salad to start. The steak was cooked perfectly however the baked potato was a little cold as if it was made before the steak was ready, but this was a first and I came for the steak anyways! The place was pretty quiet and I sat in the bar area, so that was interesting. Overall this place is always a must stop for me and tastes so good! I did not get to enjoy any alcohol options as I was only half way home and still had to drive! Highly recommend this place.

    The food was a mixed bag. The Caesar salad was just okay -- the chilled plate made it feel like the salad may have been pre-made. The house bread, though, was warm, soft, and delicious. The burger was pretty good overall: the patty came medium rare, leaning toward rare, with a nice char on it. The top bun was solid, but the bottom bun got soggy and wasn't worth the calories, so I left it behind. Service was okay. The ambience was very nice, makes a fun stop for charging on during road trip.

    Nothing exactly wrong or to write home about. Service came by often to check on us which was nice but a bit *too* often. The place is very decorated. If you have an aversion to hide or taxidermy, this is your warning. We sat at the bar while waiting for the Tesla to charge and the drinks were good. Food was decent as well!

    Moo!

    Finally got to see what all the hype was about. Our car group met some members of a car group from SLO there for lunch on a Saturday. Our tables were ready when we arrived and we were all seated pretty quickly. There were a lot of us, we filled a couple of back rooms. I had the oriental chicken salad, but wish I would have splurged on a steak. I was at Harris Ranch, after all. The food was good. Service was good. Due to it being a Saturday and us having a large group, some tables were done eating before other tables even had their orders taken. There were little shops there to browse through and the hubby loved the fresh baked cookies he purchased at one of them.

    Made a pit stop here at Harris Ranch Resort because we have always been curious about this place and wanted to eat some steaks from the source. Since it's right next to Interstate 5, it is very convenient for t9ad trips doen California. ​When I initially looked up the restaurant, I was a bit confused because online it seems that they have 4 different restaurants, and I wasn't sure where they are all located. But we just went and followed the signs that said "Restaurant." When we walked in the main entrance, the first thing we saw was the Country Store. To the right is the Horseshoe Lounge, the Prime Steakhouse in the middle, and Ranch Kitchen is towards the end. I think they also have a barbecue restaurant, but in a separate building. This place is massive. ​We decided to dine at Ranch Kitchen, where there was a huge group of people sitting right outside. I originally thought they were waiting for a table, but they were all just there for the restroom since this seems to be the place to be for pit stops down I-5. It was around 6 PM on Monday, and we got seated pretty quickly. ​We ordered the 14 oz. Choice Ribeye (medium rare) and the Country Fried Steak. Both included either baked potatoes or mashed potatoes (we opted for baked) and broccoli and carrots. The ribeye also included either a soup or salad, but given the current scare with the lettuce parasite, I opted for the clam chowder. ​They start you out with hot bread rolls and some salted whipped butter. The ribeye was very tender and delicious. It was well-seasoned and does not need steak sauce or anything. The country fried steak was quite tasty and comes with a massive amount of gravy, the way I like it. ​Overall, this was a great stop with great food. The service was amazing and the waiter was very attentive. This will definitely be a regular pit stop of ours.

    Cool place to grub. Me and my party enjoyed the food very much. Good service and nice layout. Had this classic yet somewhat modern touch.

    Ask the Community - Harris Ranch Resort

    Breakfast hours at Harris Ranch?

    Breakfast is 7 am to 11 am in the Ranch Kitchen Restaurant.

    Are there microwaves in the rooms?

    Yes. They do have them. If you look at my video that I uploaded, you can see the microwave in a little convenience area with a small fridge.

    Do they allow splitting plates? Our party will have a couple of seniors with small appetites.

    My last visit they allowed us to split an entrée. Should be ok. Enjoy!

    Is this a good place for single diners? I'm traveling alone back from Bay Area .?

    Yes, it would be fine for a single diner. Though, depending on the crowds, you might have to wait a bit for one of the smaller tables.

    Is there a strong "nature" smell when staying at the inn?

    None whatsoever. We both eat dinner and spent the night in the parking lot. Very accommodating Resort.

    Will there be a Mother's day buffet this year 2022?? It's been a while due to COVID.

    Do you open on Christmas Eve? Thanks!

    I can't find a holiday operating schedule posted on their website, but their hotel does have rooms bookable on Christmas Eve and Christmas, so the shops are probably open those days as well.

    Dog friendly seating available?

    Are there any COVID restrictions?

    None. Besides mask at entry. You can take off while dining

    Is there outdoor seating for the restaurants?

    Only indoor. During the summer it is to hot and when the wind shifts you smell the cow patties.

    Did they have any pandemic protocol now?

    The staffs were wearing masks, and couple of the tables were taped off but when I went there for dinner a month ago, it was pretty crowded.

    Can you see it from 1-5?

    Yes.

    Do you have kids food options?

    Yes. There is a kids menu.

    What time is the lunch menu available?

    11am

    What tasty here?

    Prime rib was the best we had. We had ordered the filet, prime rib, New York and ribeye.

    What are the hours of the restaurant? EDIT: @Vonny J.: The restaurant is not 24/7, only the hotel is 24/7.

    VERY BARKY BRISKET!…read more I've been coming here for years, since life has me driving up and down I-5. Brisket is the stuff of dreams--has everything I crave, a very peppery, smoky bark, and smoke ring. Meat is always juicy. Also good value for money because 4 oz brisket is just $8.95!

We haven't gotten a full dish here, but I always order all the sides to try a little bit of everything. This includes the tri tip, brisket, mac n cheese, potato salad and the corn bread. The meat here is always good - juicy and tender. They always cut off the burnt ends. The Mac n cheese isn't the best, but I get it for the texture. Of the sides, my favorite is the potato salad. It's refreshing and has a nice flavor to it. The corn bread could be hit or miss - sometimes it's a little dry, but more recently it was pretty good. I also get a small cup of coffee for the road. The only downer is they stopped giving bbq sauce for the sides. I guess I should've asked. You also used to be able to pay for your coffee at the same register but now they make you pay for it at separate registers. Overall, I think this place is solid for a pit stop.

The bakery is part of the country store, which sells such random housewares and souvenir-type stuff. They have a chocolate truffle case on one side and the other side, the pastries and desserts. The pastries looked delicious and I got a few to try. They also have bags of day-old cookies for a good price. Eclair 4/5* I'm not a huge fan of eclairs with the soft fudge on top instead of the hardened chocolate. Taste wise though, it was a good eclair. The cream isn't overly sweet and the eclair itself was a light dough. Napoleon 5/5* If there's something Harris bakery does right, it's flaky pastries. Surprisingly, this Napoleon stayed crispy the entire drive home and survive even in the refrigerator the next day. Many others I've had usually get soggy, but these layers of puff pastry stayed crisp to the end of every last bite. The cream was fluffy and not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the ripe strawberries. Banana Cream Pie 3/5* I love anything banana and just had to get it when my eyes landed on the perfect swirl of whip cream covered in chunks of buttery crumbles, atop a neat little mini pie. However, the pie itself was too mushy. The crust was soggy, with the smoothness of the banana cream, soft banana slices, and rich whip cream, everything combined was too much mush. It was also too sweet. I did enjoy the crumble on top though. That was the only saving texture. Strawberry Cream Horn 5/5* Wow these were so unexpectedly delicious! The horn is super flaky and delicate, filled from end to end with a light strawberry cream. On top, bits of dehydrated strawberries were not only beautiful but added a nice tartness and texture, contrasting with the silky cream. This was a great upgrade on your classic cream horn. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts 3/5* Nothing special. They tasted better the longer they sat out because they were crisper. I prefer my cookies to have sea salt for that good balance of salty and sweet, but these cookies were just one noted. Next time, I have my eyes set on this towering cake they had on the counter and of course, take home some of those yummy cream horns.

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
