While driving home from an epic early-June Friday adventure, I found myself battling a serious…read moresweet tooth craving. What I needed was a grab-and-go dessert to cap off the day. Enter Ranch House Restaurant. I've been driving past the Ranch House for the majority of my life and somehow had never stopped. This particular Friday, that was finally going to change. Located right along Route 15, The Ranch House earns immediate points for convenience. It's incredibly easy to get in and out of, and there is a TON of parking available right outside the restaurant. From an accessibility standpoint, this place is about as easy as it gets. I pulled in around 4pm on a Friday afternoon and had no trouble finding a parking spot. Inside, the restaurant was buzzing with diners. Busy for 4pm? Absolutely. Overwhelming? Not at all. There were plenty of staff members available, and someone greeted me almost immediately. I explained that I wasn't staying for a meal and was only there to check out the dessert case for something to take with me. The waitress couldn't have been nicer and encouraged me to take my time. And thank goodness she did. I spent several minutes standing in front of the dessert case having a very serious internal debate between two worthy contenders: a towering slice of peanut butter pie and a gigantic piece of chocolate cake slathered with peanut butter frosting. In the end, the chocolate cake won. For $6.77, I was happily carrying an enormous slice of cake back to my car and already looking forward to dessert later that evening. This particular piece of cake had been officially designated as Friday Night Date Night dessert and was destined to be enjoyed a few hours later in a beautiful location. I remained committed to the plan and patiently waited until the proper time to dig in. The cake itself was very good. Moist, nicely textured, and pleasantly chocolatey without crossing into ultra-rich fudge territory. As someone who generally prefers vanilla over chocolate, I appreciated that the chocolate flavor was present without completely taking over the experience. The frosting, however, was where things got interesting. As a self-appointed peanut butter dessert connoisseur, I have consumed a truly alarming amount of peanut butter pie, peanut butter cake, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter cheesecake, peanut butter brownies, and pretty much anything else containing peanut butter. This frosting was unlike anything I've ever tasted. Most peanut butter frostings fall into one of two categories: rich and dense or fluffy and sweet. This one was neither. It was salty. Not slightly salty. Very salty. There was a bit of peanut butter flavor. There was a bit of sweetness. But the dominant note for me was salt. I'm honestly still not sure if it was the peanuts themselves, the butter, or some secret ingredient in the Ranch House's recipe, but it was one of the most unusual peanut butter frostings I've ever encountered. Several days later, I'm still trying to decide whether I actually liked it. To be clear, I finished every last bite. Cake doesn't go to waste around here regardless of how confusing my feelings may be. But the frosting left me scratching my head the entire time. Would I stop again? Probably. Would I order the peanut butter dessert again? Probably not. For me, this visit landed firmly in the "meh" category. The staff were friendly, the location was convenient, and the dessert case offered plenty of tempting options. Unfortunately, the peanut butter frosting just didn't quite hit the mark for my taste buds. And that makes me a bit nervous about trying anything else.

We also shared the Peach and Burrata Bruschetta and it was also outstanding. LAM ordered the Double Pork Chops, the 2 chops were huge, and they could not have been better. I had the Shrimp Pasta and the serving was huge with a ton of large shrimp, however the Shrimp was tuff and I couldn't hardly cut it with a knife, AND the tails were left on- what a mess to deal with. The waitress came to check on us and I told her about the toughness and she offered to have the kitchen make me something new but I declined (entre's already took quite a while to prepare) and frankly LAM couldn't eat both her chops comfortably so I ate the second one. A winning decision for me! Overall a good experience, just dont order the shrimp. The waitress was very nice about it and took the Shrimp dish off the bill.
