They're dog friendly on the patio so that was awesome. The view is amazing from the patio and there's plenty of room. Here's what I had: Basic Burger with green chilies- $18. Great flavor, the bun was nice too. The chile was spicy! It didn't blow my mind but was still good. Fries and drink: $5.00. Tasty fries. $25 for burger, fries and drink is expensive but the views are dope so I'd like to try other items. 5 stars for the views and service, plus good burger.

Almost like when you could buy dark russet chips back in the day, I just loved them. Burger was very good as was the steak sandwich. The only thing I can say that is negative is that the food is overpriced a little. You're paying for the tremendous view and atmosphere, and the food quality is very good but a burger ala carte is like 17.00 and comes with no sides.

The grounds are quite expansive and dotted with the lodge and cabins. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. They offer many activities including: horseback riding, mountain biking, fly fishing, UTV riding, hiking, skeet shooting, a swimming pool, and more (even a mechanical Bull!). The food was prepared on site and delicious! Beef centric menu but so tasty, and they accommodated a vegetarian in our party easily. I looked forward to the breakfast each night and dinner each morning! The best part of the stay, however, was the staff. They were amazing! They took care of everything, and always with a smile. They do everything at the ranch, and the team here takes the experience to the next level. I highly recommend a trip here to unwind and recharge!

For 20 years my family and I have driven by James Ranch on our way to Haviland Lake, Purgatory,…read moreMolas Lake, Silverton, Ouray.......................... and have watched the ranch grow as we fly past on 550. We finally, recently stopped. Where do I start? First off the person who set up the store is a genius! When you walk in the front door of the store your senses are hit with the most relaxing aroma therapy wafting from the handmade soaps located just to your right. (Yes, it was the first thing I picked up!) As you move along the store you are treated to some of the most amazing local art. Earrings, blankets, handspun wool. But then there's the cooler. Filled with meats, cheeses, breads, sausages, just yummy, yummy, organic goodness. Then there's the book corner. (I had to limit myself at 5. THIS time.) I understand all the authors were local. (Actually even though James Ranch owners seem to have their bases covered with their own beef, pork, cheese "artists" they welcome local artists to showcase their art.) So back to the cooler. We ended up buying some of the chorizo. I love homemade chorizo and this did not disappoint. We also bought a roast that I cooked last night. I took all the praises from my family at how good that roast was. But at the end of the day I knew, there was NO WAY anybody could have screwed up that roast! We also ate while we at James Ranch. I almost feel sorry for any other burger I will ever eat again. The James Burger set a standard only Ramsey can beat. OH! I didn't even mention the deck!? Or the picnic tables on the lawn? Or the view of the cows grazing in the meadow while I drip juices from an organic beef burger on my face!? NOT sorry! OH! And shout-out to Adam who had to wait to close the store because we couldn't tear ourselves away from "the ranch" side of James Ranch. Guess we'll be back earlier in the day next time!
