Probably not again . They don't seem ready for business. When we got there and sat down the server said there were only 3 people in the kitchen so service may be slower than usual. It would be understandable if other parties were getting food before us. Here's the deal. We sat there for an hour after ordering. We ordered before anyone else and only saw salads come out for almost 1.5 hours. A guy that was there for about 40 min before us still didn't have his food and they were just barely coming out to inform him that there were not anymore chicken strips so he would need to reorder then came back to tell him there aren't any noodles either. . We asked the other guy how long he was there. He said over 2 hours for salads , chicken strips and a sandwich. Some of which were cancelled. After about an hour and 15 min we received 1 steak sandwich and 2 burgers. We ordered a side of Garlic Fries but received regular fries. I thought it would come out super hot and fresh. It was literally mediocre. Servers did what they could but the kitchen really failed the business. Also the hours of the business are insanely sporadic. Gotta get something going for you. If you can't be fast your food must be immaculate. Then to pay. We had a large bill to pay and also had a GC we purchased as well. They were 100% able to sell the gift card but unable to redeem it. The person that cashed us out also didn't know how to make it right so she grabbed another person to help. It was definitely taken care of but I did feel like I was inconveniencing them to pay after almost being there for 2 hours. read more

We did carry out, but the space is nice. Located in downtown Hughson, it feels like what it is - a neighborhood restaurant. A bit tight, but nicely done. Menu is interesting with a bit of everything. Grill food to pasta. We had the cowboy burger, turkey sand, spicy bbq wings and brisket nachos. The burger was good quality, large and nicely prepared. Turkey was served on ciabatta- which we felt made it a bit dry, but tasted great - nice smoked flavor. The wings were very solid. Crispy, smoked good sauce. The nachos were good - flour chips, generous meat portion. We chose garlic fries for our side with the sandwiches - the fries are nothing special, batter dipped ( we don't prefer) - but well prepared. Overall, the food was really good. Staff was friendly and engaged. Lots of thank You's and smiles. We got shorted our wings - this wasn't a big deal because my wife was in the car and discovered it before we left - but would have been an issue if I drove 20 minutes back home and discovered- again, no issues - went back in and they promptly handled - more important - genuine apologies. The food was well packaged - including separating the nacho ingredients- which is a nice touch and shows they care about what they are putting out. Price was high. $73 pre tip for above. Also, they charge a 4% premium for cards. It isn't 1982:- you aren't shy about menu pricing, so don't penalize those that use technology. Overall a good meal, and the team obviously care about what they are doing. We will be back and I wish we had something like this in our small town. read more

Just stopped by to try this place. We welcomed in by the waiter. Helpful and pleasant service. Nice interior. Our food was wonderful. The chicken sandwich was on point. Crispy and delicious. The western burger was the perfect balance of bacon meat onion rings and sauce. The buns were soft but a great vehicle for the sandwiches. We will be back most differently to try a few other things. read more

Open seating. You sit where a spot is available. Really fun, little place! Great country music playing. Greeted by a kind worker and he handed me the menu. Lots of delicious menu items.

Booths and tall tables.Lots of TVs up. They also have outside seating. My lunch arrived a little later! WOW! Fantastic! Fresh salad! Really great! The sandwich was large and really delicious! Fresh bread, perfectly cooked chicken, fresh lettuce, tomato and great avocado along with awesome BBQ sauce! Crisp, tasty bacon as well! Outstanding service! Checked up on a few times while enjoying the lunch. Fantastic atmosphere! Received check a bit later and it was handed over with good day wishes! Great service and delicious lunch!

Good local place with good food. Works with the local bbq place to get their meats and such. Been here a few times and it is always good.

Came here for St. Pattys day and corned beef was amazing. Brisket nachos were huge with homemade flour chips. Not your average bbq place. Great beer selection. Great service. Only downside was limited wine selection. Sat outside and listened to amazing singer, Scotch Beck. read more

Amazing!!!!!! We finally had a minute to check out RH. Maddie was our server/ Hostess. Very friendly and full of good conversation! My wife and I shared the Brisket Nachos, And they were AMAZING!!!!! Who doesn't love fresh flour tortilla chips topped with gooey Queso, shredded cheese, pico di gallo and Slick Fork's epic Brisket! Sounds like a perfect dish to me! We are excited to try more menu items! read more

I always have a great time when I go to Ranch Hand. They have the best food around and I love the atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and they make me feel right at home. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table, even on Saturdays when it's busy. It's my favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I was super excited to try this place because I am a huge fan of Slick Fork. However, I was a little disappointed with the food. It was not as flavorful as Slick Fork. We got the brisket quesadilla, nachos, tacos, and vaquero burger. The service was also a little slow. However, the ambiance was great. They have an outdoor patio, so it is a good place for large groups. They also have a pretty good craft beer selection, so it is also a nice place to meet up and catch up with old friends. read more

Roy, Jake, Kandy and I went to the Ranch Hand restaurant in Houston last night for dinner. We sat outside in the patio area. It was very spacious with string lights everywhere. It was a very chill place with a good vibe. They had a live band which was awesome! The food was delicious! I had a loaded potato with brisket. Roy and Kandy both had teriyaki kebabs, and Jake had a steak. We all tried each other's food. Everything was seasoned and cooked to Perfection! The waitstaff are all very friendly and attentive! I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be coming back!!! read more

This is my 3rd time here but only my 2nd time eating here. If you want to get in and out this is not your place. But if you want delicious food, music, laughter and great beer list amd environment then this Is your spot. I got the gringo pasta with chunks of chicken and fresh tomatoes with a creamy buttery Alfredo like sauce. My meal did not disappoint. I had just walked up and was leaving when I spotted some friends who had a whole table and slid into a great spot. Did I mention some of the best table servers ever! Thank you. read more

Hands down this is one amazing restaurant! This place has put Hughson on the map for tasty food! If I could give them a hundred stars, I would. It's a tad pricey but ohhhh so worth it. We have tried half of the menu and it was all delicious. Already planning our next meal. read more

Pleasantly surprised to have found "Ranch Hand"! Great decor, TV's everywhere playing sports events, service is prompt and friendly! Leigh was a great ambassador giving us the "run down" on all the special events they have planned. Definitely coming back, especially, for some NFL games. read more

All I can say is wow, amazing food, great people and very nice atmosphere. Great restaurant!!!!

A family friendly casual restaurant. With approximately 30-35 seats indoor you should make a reservation for parties over 4; they also have limited outdoor seating. Enjoyed the black n blue burger special with delicious crispy fries. Others in our group really enjoyed the brisket taco appetizer. They had a nice selection of wine and craft beers. We will return to try other entrees. The only negative; no fresh brewed iced tea (only thru the Coke fountain tea). Great place for take out too. read more

I looked for a bbq place in the yelp app. The ranch hand came up so I took my dad to go check this place out. When we pulled up I could hear the music. It was a Friday and I said to my dad. This is a party!!! We love music so this was right up our alley. We went in and was greeted right away. They were very busy but we're very on top of it. I observed everyone on their team helping out. Whether they were a server or not. They were helping to get the food and drinks out. We had wings and tacos. Very impressed with the food! I saw someone order the nachos and I thought. I'm getting that next time!! Can't wait to go back!! I will take the whole family next time read more

Party of 6.. garlic fries, burgers, Turkey Sammie's, chicken noodle soup, brisket grilled cheese... everything was delish!

I want to leave a better review. Hoping they see this and make it just one change. The food, as always, is outstanding! The service... Top-notch! The atmosphere is perfect. The one, and only complaint I have is that they need a better beer menu! Please, please, please, don't just have IPAs... Have some ambers, some Belgians, Hefeweizen, scotch, ales, There are so many more beers out there that would go so well with the food. Hoping they see this and let me know they were going to make some changes! Go local! read more

Ranch Hand - 2 burgers. Can't remember which kind but they were excellent - Burgers Near Me - Hughson, California

Homestyle food, very good, waitress was friendly, nice atmosphere, plenty of parking. Great addition to Hughson.

Worth the trip! Try it! I'm giving this place 5 stars, but it's really about 4.5. I'm so glad that the owners of Slick Fork opened this up, but I hope they keep expanding the menu to include brisket sandwiches and other Slick Fork favorites in the menu. A few cheaper items would be great too! We had the Buffalo wings and a burger. The wings were great! The Buffalo sauce tasted homemade and quality! I have had many Buffalo wings in my life and these are worth ordering here! The burger was ok. Bacon a little fatty and burger really thick and juicy. I think I prefer crispier bacon and a less meaty burger, so this could just be a preference. Although, it did seem it needed just a little something else. Probably comparing it to the brisket, it just couldn't compete. We had a pear cider that was perfect and fantastic! Although, the second time we went, here, they had sold out. Friday evenings they have live music that was enjoyable. Overall, I'd definitely go back and would like to try a few more things on the menu before I make it a staple in my life. The brisket fries looked really good. Hope to try those next! read more

My wife brought me to dinner there last night. She had been to the Ranch Hand before and thought I would like it. She was wrong.... I loved it! The place had a really cool rustic yet modern style. Since I'm kinda of a beer snob and I was impressed by the beer they had available. I wasn't expecting that. We started with the Brisket Nachos. Wow! It was a really big plate and could have been dinner for the both of us. I thought the brisket was great! I ordered the Cowboy burger and my wife had the Vaquero chicken sandwich. Both was very tasty and the perfect size. The ladies that served us, were both friendly and efficient. It was nice to be treated so well instead of like an inconvenience like some other places. I definitely will be back! read more

Delicious food! Reasonably priced, Heather was extremely sweet and delivered excellent customer service. Will be back again!

Amazing food, homey and family like service. I will absolutely be coming back and often!!

The best cheese burger I've ever had! Delicious! Great restaurant! Superb service! Love the atmosphere!

Delicious home cooked food to perfection! The steak is amazing. The brisket is outstanding. Phenomenal side dishes to choose. Great service and fun atmosphere! Love this place! The owner engages with his customers making everyone feel well taken care of and important! Great place for a family night or luncheons with coworkers. read more

I'd say it is on the more expensive side of things but at least the quality was top notch. It was out of the way and we needed a bite and we are happy we selected it nice cozy sports bar atmosphere college football in the background which I think is fun. read more

It isn't often that I go to a restaurant and want to try more than one item on the menu. Was not disappointed in my steak. It was hard to try something else, but I did and it was also very good. Small, quaint, cute setting and nice service. Love this place! read more

We drive from Turlock to eat here frequently. The burgers, pasta, and ceasar salad with steak are all amazing. It's hard to pick what to eat because each meal is truly tasty. I really like the drink selections. Most places don't have sour beers or ciders, but this place does! Yum. Cute location too. read more

Came into Hughson for an event and was looking for a place to grab a beer and some food to kill some time. Found the Ranch Hand, all I have to say is that their staff over performs and is very friendly, not to mention their food was delicious and beer was not overpriced. Highly recommend! read more
