Recently there has been some growth in the restaurant industry in the area and that's. Good thing. However apparently the Ranch has been around for awhile. It's located in the Good Evening Ranch that has horse trails, show arena, cabin rentals and much more. It's really beautiful. The restaurant offers a good verity of choices for appetizers and meals. We ordered some smoked wings and BBq pulled pork for dinner. The portions are huge. It's more than you can eat so get a to go box. I really enjoyed the Smokey flavor on the wings and pulled pork and the wings were crispy so I think they fried them after smoking. That's a good technique. The sauce on both the wings and pork tasted like store bought and had just been poured over straight from the bottle. They would do well to create a homemade sauce or two and incorporate it a little better. The baked beans were not good at all. They tasted like they came straight from a can. The slaw was fantastic. I will visit again and try other items on the menu. Service is great. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us frequently. The inside has a lot of room for seating and is nicely clean. It has the classic ranch house feel.

The charming 42 acre ranch is owned by legendary guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, from Jefferson Airplane and founder of Hot Tuna. Big bands from the 60's. But the ranch also includes a terrific concert venue, cool "psychedelic" museum and homey cafe. If you are lucky enough to attend a concert here you are in for an awesome, special and incredible experience. I say lucky because the concert venue has approx. 220 seats and 3/4 of them are held by season subscription holders (30 shows). The remaining go on sale to the public and are typically sold out within an hour of becoming available. At times, it can help to know someone. ;-) Their approach to seating is unique and refreshing from most every other venue you have ever been. The place itself is pretty in a rustic way and intimate like your family room. The high quality sound system compliments the superb artists playing. The crowd can be described as old hippies with a sprinkling of younger music aficionados. People are not trying to take pictures, but instead just grooving on the sounds. Along with the music you can enjoy popcorn, cookies, coffee, cider , etc. that are for sale. But, there are NO ALCOHOL SALES. Probably a good thing since it is out in the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE and you have to drive on a one lane, winding road, up a hill to enter & exit. At night, it is black out there! Being at FPR is a memorable experience that you will want to recreate many times over.

The wait can be 20-30 minutes during prime dinner hours, and the food wait can also be lengthy. Plan on enjoying a few hours here and don't be in a rush once you get here. Let's talk about the food. They have gluten free options and anything can be made gluten free according to the staff. They also have some vegetarian options. I love burgers, and honestly, it's hard to beat a handmade beyond smashburger. This restaurant currently does not offer another veggie substitute other than the Portobello mushroom. It was good, with the added goat cheese, but would have rather had a burger substitute with mushrooms added on top. The fries are great! Perfectly fried with golden crunch in every bite. The garlic aioli is the perfect dipping sauce. I ordered a ranch side as well and it's good, but the aioli is the best choice in my opinion. Great local restaurant with a burger for everyone.

But Amy was very good with answering our questions and giving her opinions on various dishes, as well as her interactions with Oliver We started with some wings with house hot sauce and an order of cheddar and candied jalapeño fries. Both were very good, the candied jalapeños had a nice heat but were not rude. I had a Cubano sammich, as you know I am a sucker for these and once again - no plancha!! This one wasn't even squished in a George Foreman grill. Just served on a (good and tasty and crunchy) bread. Oliver had a cheeseburger and fries, and the table order was rounded out with a braised beef sandwich. That was declared by Amy as the number 1 sandwich at the place. Oh jeez I almost forgot - they've got several beers and Amy was again a font of knowledge asking us what kinds of beers we liked and helping craft suggestions based upon what we liked.

I am an OU alumna and sad to write this review. I have chosen the OU Inn for years -- not because…read moreit's the most modern option (it isn't), not because it's the closest to campus (it isn't), and not because the rooms justify the price gouging that comes with Mom's Weekend (they don't). I chose it for the nostalgia... and the sense that as a member of the OU community, this was my hotel. I won't be making that mistake again. Here's what happened: I booked a room for Mom's Weekend 2026 a full year in advance -- because that's what you have to do when a hotel decides that one weekend a year justifies a $500/night rate. Fine. Supply and demand - I get it. What I didn't get was any reminder. Every hotel I've stayed at across the world -- and I travel frequently -- sends a "We're looking forward to seeing you this week" days before check-in. The OU Inn, apparently, has not discovered this technology. Instead, I received a reminder email at 7:10 PM -- after check-in had already passed. Not so useful. When I called and acknowledged my own mistake -- I genuinely did forget -- I wasn't asking for a free pass. I asked only to cancel the second night, understanding I'd eat the cost of the first. The response? A rigid recitation of the 48-hour cancellation policy by River at the front desk. On a sold-out Mom's Weekend. When hotels in Athens are turning people away for months before. The idea that they couldn't rebook that room -- on the busiest weekend of the year -- is either dishonest or incompetent. And then the cherry on top: I received a cancellation confirmation email Saturday morning, which gave me genuine hope that someone with a pulse had reviewed my situation and done the right thing. Nope. Turns out the system auto-cancelled when I missed check-in -- and then staff **manually re-entered my reservation knowing full well I wasn't coming.** That is not a clerical error. That is a choice. I have kids at OU now. I will be making the trip from California multiple times a year for the next three years. I was fully prepared to be a reliable, repeat customer -- someone who picks the OU Inn on principle, even when better options exist. That's what loyalty looks like. What I experienced in return was rigidity, indifference, and staff that were, frankly, rude about it. To management: you had every tool to make this right. A waitlist. A goodwill gesture. Basic human flexibility on the most in-demand weekend of your year. You chose none of them. For $450 (refund for one night), you've lost a customer who was already sold on you.
