YUMMY YUMMY BREAKFAST STUFF!!!! We just got Postmates delivery from RanchSideCafe and it was amazing. My husband wanted the classic Biscuits and gravy with hashbrowns and couldn't find it anywhere but RanchSideCafe so we tried it. He ate everything all up. I tried the cornedbeef hash and eggs it was awesome too! I reccomend either delivery or there to eat breakfast or brunch. This place is great!!! read more

We were traveling and had been on the road for about 7hrs and needed some good food (read NOT fast food!) Such a cute little bistro with friendly staff and good energy! I got a heathy low-carb wrap with grilled chicken, my husband got a cheeseburger and fries. Everything was made to order, fresh, and delicious with good portions. Very easy on and off the freeway too! My only regret...this place is about 6hrs from home. But we'll stop again when we're in the area! read more

This place is sooo bomb! I ordered chorizo and eggs with pick de Gallo and sour cream on the side. Everything was soo delicious. Especially the chorizo and pico de Gallo. My friend got corned beef hash with egg whites with a side of an English muffin. He demolished his. "This English muffin is so fucking good". Definitely a must try! read more

Ranch Side Cafe - Chorizo and eggs with refried beans! - American Near Me - Sylmar, California

I eat at the Ranch Side at least once a week and find their food and service excellent. It's a family owned cafe and run by two sisters who are friendly and provide good service. Weekends can get busy as locals tend to congregate there. To heck with those big chain operations. Bill C read more

Cute and food is good too! Had a breakfast one visit and Ethiopian another visits. Id recommend both!

Friendliest family business with quality employees who make you feel like its your second home. The food is incredibly good. The service outstanding for this type of restaurant business. Rare these days indeed. read more

Tasty Ethiopian food in the Valley. With a shot of you ever want to satisfy your craving without driving down to o Fairfax.

I have been here twice now. First time I had the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. It was delicious and the salsa bar had some tasty choices. I came back for lunch on another day and got the best " hunch" burger ever!! You have to come try it. read more

Ranch Side Cafe - The Ranch Side Burger with Sweet Potato Fries - American Near Me - Sylmar, California

This place is in a nice location right by the horses and the mountains. It's a hot area but beautiful. They have a nice cool shaded patio. It's an odd mix on the menu, with Ethiopian, Mexican, and American choices as well as breakfast or lunch. The Ethiopian was tasty, however, the injera was sour which my husband really loved but I did not. I am very familiar with Ethiopian food and prefer injera I've had at other restaurants. This is just a matter of tastes though, and it was really neat to have an Ethiopian option. We also ordered Mexican and breakfast dishes and everything was very tasty and a lot of care was put into our service and the presentation of the meals. The service was the best I have had in a while, the woman was very attentive and so polite. It seems to be a popular place among the locals. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

I enjoyed the food here especially the cheeseburger and fries. The atmosphere here was nice and pleasant. Oh, I've tried the peach cobbler and it was Good too. read more

Simply incredible. Most restaurants with this much diversity on the menu would be lacking in their quality. That is not the case at Ranch Side Cafe. Make sure to dabble or dive into the Ethiopian dishes and don't forget the spicy paste. Mexican food is right on par with LA and they even have the ranch-style dishes for those of you who want to go old fashioned. read more

Go try this place! We were a little unsure considering how diverse the menu is, but oh my YUM! I got the vegan Ethiopian tacos and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered the California avocado omelette. Its a very basic yet delish omelette and here, the avocado came in abundance. Side with some wheat toast and it was prefect. This place is not fancy or bougie, in fact quite the opposite. The restaurant has a very homely feel; the owners were on site and extremely friendly and inviting. read more

Great spot with a real country feel! Food is excellent with some nice Ethiopian dishes which give more options. Good out of the way location that will get you away from the crowds and make you feel like the city is far away! read more

Let me start off by saying "the food is great". We ordered from the Ethiopian menu, and everything we ordered was realy good. They have this Ethiopian bread that all their dishes come with, and it's a fluffy yet interesting textured bread, if not for the food, then order something just to try the bread. The parking is very convenient and always available, right in front of the restaurant. The help is very knowledgeable of their items on their menu, and very nice/helpful. The bill was very reasonable for everything that we had ordered. With two people, two drinks an appetizer, and two plates came up to about $37. read more

Johan welcomed us. Nice shaded outside patio. We chose inside. Quite a menu and fresh baked cobbler available for dessert. Our party of 4 had: Eggs Benedict, BLT, Salmon dinner and Chicken enchiladas. All tasty, delivered warm and Johan was very attentive. We will be back! read more

What a wonderful friendly beautiful place we found. The service was fantastic. We dined early with beer and wine. The dinners with dessert were delicious. They have a fabulous large menu. Next time we'll be coming back for brunch. It's elegant and casual at the same time. Aptly named, it's easy to get to, a cool comfortable place, near horse country. What a fun visit we had at Ranch Side Cafe. read more

My first time having Ethiopian food and I couldn't believe the party in my mouth with these new flavors. The staff is amazingly nice and helpful. They understood what I needed to start with. The place is nice, clean and inviting read more

-----Long Story Short----- Food was okay. Service was good. Plenty of parking and seating indoors. Very interesting design indoors. I'd come back if I were suddenly starving after a day at the range, but not so much otherwise. -----Short Story Long----- This is the restaurant that you pass by every time you go to Angeles Shooting Range. You can't miss it. We've passed by this place so many times but FINALLY had the chance to try it last weekend. =FOOD= 1) Pulled Pork Sandwich with Fries - The first bite was good. After about 3 bites of my half, I decided it would be best for me to swap the second half with boyfriend's sandwich. The bbq sauce was a little toooooooo strong for me. It overpowered the pulled pork, which was actually very tender and juicy! That was too bad. The best part? FRIES of course! They were actually done pretty well! Perfectly crispy/soft and hot! 2) Tri Tip Sandwich - Kind of the opposite of the pulled pork sandwich, but actually pretty good. I wish the meat was slightly juicier, and that the sandwich had more flavor overall. Regardless, I preferred this sandwich to the pulled pork. Neither this Tri Tip, nor the Pulled Pork sandwiches were phenomenal, but they were pretty decent. =SERVICE= The service wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. The food did come out pretty quickly, and our very friendly waitress had no trouble getting the bill the 2nd time we asked. =FINAL VERDICT= Since it's really close to Angeles Shooting Range, and we go about once a month, we were bound to stop by at least one time. The food didn't blow me away, but it was something I'd be okay having again. Perhaps next time I'll stick with their menu items instead of their "Daily Special". read more

I would not imagine that such great brunch place exists in this area. Thanks to Yelp! We came here on a Saturday hitting the brunch commotion. In the menu are Ethiopians dishes. A plus! So we ordered the Ethiopian fir fir(shredded injera with spices and steak) and topped with 2 over-easy eggs and the Tri-tip omelette. Both are super tasty with tolerable level of spiciness. Liked them both! Mimosas were $2.99 a glass with more alcohol than the OJ. ;) Staff were attentive and very efficient. Free wi-fi too. Abundant parking. Wall paintings were interesting! read more

Great place! Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Varied menu, food always tasty, good service, friendly staff, nice vibes.

I've been stopping at the Ranch Side Café for my once-a-week breakfast for several years now. Always a friendly smile and hearty welcome, followed by quick service and an enjoyable meal. Hey, what's not to like about that? The Ranch Side Café "kick-starts" my day so I'm ready to take on the day's tasks. "Thank you Ranch Side Cafe!" read more

They have great service and great food. Love this place. It has become a family regular place for us. Tonight when wanting to order on NY Eve we checked a bunch of places and everywhere had at least a 1 hour wait for ordering and delivery. We decided to order from Rach Side Cafe but then saw on their website they were closed. We didn't know if that was valid so called (it was 6:05). The lady who answered was friendly and told us that they closed at 6:00 tonight however she was pleasant and happily got our order in despite already being closed. Our order was ready within 10 minutes. The food was amazing. read more

Very much enjoyed trying Ethiopian food for the first time at Ranch Side Cafe with my friend.

I'm so happy I found this place. With COVID and new restrictions, this establishment is doing an excellent job adapting! I wanted to write about my experience. The owners are so polite, respectful and hardworking. Everything is cooked inside when you order, so you'll be getting fresh food. There is an outdoor seating area with perhaps 7 tables. The menus are there too but you can scan a code using your smart phone as well. There is a bottle of hand sanitizer available in the front too. The food is delicious and worth the wait! I tipped 70% because how hard working and polite they are. Everyone is adapting and I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Great and friendly service. Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic and friendly people running this restaurant with excellent food. Love the variety!

Sunday morning breakfast is our thing. With that said, we won't be back here. We don't mind that the prices per plate were on avg $2-3 more than other comparable places for comparable meals. The food was decent, but the service is what did it for us. Servers were not rude, but also not friendly. We stood awkwardly in the middle of the cafe for a minute until we were directed to sit at the 'reserved for handicap' table infront of the door. (We are not handicap). We have a 2 year old with us and were not asked about a high chair or booster. They were slow to take drink orders and even slower to return for the food order. Once our food was on the table, the server never returned to refill drinks or check to see if we needed anything. We were given 2 jelly packets for 4 (8 halves) of toast. When we were able to get somebody's attention to ask for more jelly, she brought 1 more and set it on the edge of her way out the door. We sat with our plates cleared and stacked for 15 minutes waiting for the check, before we stood up to head to the counter. This place was a real disappointment. read more

Good tasting food! The Bacon is big! Haha! Portions are good. You can sit inside or out.

We have passed the Ranch Side Cafe for months. Best casual lunch near the barns. Extensive menu. Sweet staff. Delicious burger wraps, salads, cobbler. read more

Easily the best breakfast I've ever had. Hash browns so light and fluffy they almost float off your plate. The country fried steak and eggs is my go-to favorite but everything on the menu is made with love. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots. Every time I come here I always try something new. Everything is delicious, mimosas are the best and everyone is so friendly. I will be back again soon. read more

I like the Ethiopian food that this place has! It was definitely just like the Ethiopian food in LA without having to go all the way down to LA for authentic Ethiopian food! I like that there were other options of food too! Great variety read more

One of the very few restaurants on the area that's lovely, wine serving, and delicious. Owned by two gorgeous women of color. I feel like I'm in the original Shadow Hills, with iconic cowboy and Mexican motifs in the dining room. I ordered the vegetarian dish and it's one of the BEST I'VE EVER HAD. Thankyou for your tasty dishes and your sweet hospitality during a difficult time (Covid 19 ) read more

If you're on the 210 west and come across Osborne off ramp dive off turn right at the bottom of the ramp. If you're eastbound 2 10, you coming to Osborne dive off, go left under the freeway and about a block down on your left come across this café, Ranch side cafe owned by a Ethiopian lady they call her Z cause her name is too hard to pronounce. Absolutely fantastic lady. Nice little restaurant great food really good prices atmosphere is nice Services excellent great menu clean just outstanding place. I eat there. Every time I go to California this is one of the better secrets California has. read more

Excellent food! Many options. Country cozy atmosphere local and nice to have a nearby restaurant with lots of options.

This rating for this place is of the Ethiopian food only. I haven't tried any of the American or Mexican Food yet. This is one of the best-kept secrets of The San Fernando valley. I love Ethiopian food, having had the real thing in its namesake country. I've tried some of the Ethiopian places in L.A. and beyond the attempts at Ethiopian-experience atmospheres, the food has usually been disappointing. This restaurant, however, also run by an Ethiopian, is a real surprise. It looks like your standard SW & saddle cafe, but the Ethiopian food is excellent. It's among the best in my experience outside Ethiopia. She has genuine black Ingira bread (white is much more common, so this is really special) made by hand locally in North Hollywood, and uses only olive oil in the food rather than cheaper alternatives. BerBere spice is abundant, and they feature several selections in generous portions. Although arranged in entre'-fashion for American expectations, all the best of Ethiopia is there. Plus, they even do take-out. Living only a few minutes away, I feel like I landed in heaven. I only rate then 4 stars for using regular salt instead of sea salt, and the place being a little sub-par in cleanliness. Regardless, I am looking forward to trying their more conventional cafe fare on some leisurely weekend. read more

I'm thrilled to enjoy good Ethiopian food close to home. Definitely an eclectic mix. The gluten free injera was exceptional. Real teff. Support this woman and black owned business. Incredibly good. read more
