The Ranch Hand Cafe

Let me preface with, i should have just ordered bar food as this is a bar BUT we did not…read more I ordered a sirloin - never asked how I wanted it cooked. What came out was a gray thin, long oblong shaped piece of meat. and VERY well done - the knife could not cut it. I had to send it back and the waitress told me that she told him rare. Told her that would have gone back as well as I don't eat raw meat. The next piece of meat was mulitlated with a ton of slices and gray as well, very tough and still over cooked. They tried to tell me it was the marinade that made it look that way. What??!! I marinade my steaks all the time and they never look gray or can't be cut with a STEAK KNIFE!! So i said I will just eat the baked potato. My sister complained about the frozen onion rings being over cooked - nothing was done. My husbands pizza was black! But he was too nice to complain. Sooooo here comes the bill and the manager refused to take the steak off! I said well send him over here and we can have a talk. He would not come to the table and said just charge her for the overdone baked potato, which was fine as I ate most of it. but $8.00 for it! or and $8.00 for soggy "fresh vegetables". I would be ashamed of my manager if they refused to hear a customers complaints or make it right! Jon Taffer would be disappointed in what this place turned into since the makeover. Drinks - Good and strong Service - eh. bartender was also the waitress Atomsphere - I am sure it is a good place to go on a weekend to hear a band - wish it was non smoking though. Food- stick with things like wings and fries - has to be better than all the food we ordered.

For Cleveland this is actually a decent place id probably recommend this more than other…read morerestaurants in town .

After dining here, it's pretty obvious that alot of their food items are pre-cooked. It doesn't mean they're bad, or not fresh, it just means they like to prep to ensure their customers receive food in a timely manner. It is a little ironic though since they have a sign inside the dining room stating "Good food ain't fast and fast food aint good!". They do have a small prep area / kitchen to make meals, but it has short ceilings, limited space, and no vent hoods for exhausting steam/smoke. There are 2 microwaves in the kitchen area, if that gives you any idea. Not sure they even have an oven in their kitchen. The dining area is a beachy, tropical theme to fit the name "The Big Kahuna". Their menu is pretty simple, 2 pages with burgers and salads being their specialty. However, they have a weekly steam table special which consists of a meat, 2 sides and a roll for about $10. They also serve bbq, and some Mexican food and even chicken fried steak. Since they seem to specialize in burgers, I ordered a burger. Just traditional burgers here, no fancy toppings. The handformed patty is about 1/3 lb, and comes standard with mayo, lettuce and tomato, served on a Hawaiian sweet bun. I ordered their highly touted fresh cut French fries, which are a la carte and good. Portion size of the fries was a little on the small size. Overall I enjoyed this meal since the taste of the burger and fries were actually good. They didn't ask how you want your burger cooked though, which makes sense since it's a pre cooked patty. How do I know this? Because the burger came out less than 5 mins after ordering from the waitress, and was cooked at least medium well...faster than even some fast food restaurants I've visited lately! They do not have cheddar cheese, just some shredded American cheese blend, so no cheese for me. I did add bacon to my burger, and they initially forgot to add it after bringing the plate to my table. Luckily they remembered though, asked for the plate back, and placed it on the burger. Another complaint is that the bacon is crumbles, not strips. They apparently don't cook the bacon fresh and seemingly use a pre-packaged, pre-cooked product which was pretty salty. Bacon strips are preferred on burgers since they leave less mess on a plate at the end of the meal. I also ordered a sweet tea and a dessert before I left. On my tea refill, the waitress gave me unsweetened tea, which was strange. There were 3 bundt cakes on a cart beside the steam table with slices of vanilla, red velvet and chocolate. I chose the red velvet flavor and it was okay, but I've had better. Maybe the strangest part of the meal is that they give you a spoon to eat your cake!! In summary, the best part of the experience were the prices. The service, food quality, and taste /preparation of some menu items were a little questionable. This might be the reasoning behind the prices....not sure. Some items are just meant to be "cooked to order", and some you can get away with pre-made such as items on a steam table for faster service. I feel burgers should always be cooked to order at a sit down restaurant!

When inquiring with the gas station attendant she stated it was closed. Informed her that we had an order placed, paid for and accepted 30 min prior she stated that the guy just left and she then GRACIOUSLY made our order while running back and forth to the gas station side. We appreciate her starting up the fryer and all machines, but we had to then stand there and wait another 30 min or so for food to be prepared and it was missing items when we got home. We have given multiple chances with this place but had bad encounters each and every time. Poor quality food/service and now this. We won't return. Shame bc it's so close to us but this 1 hour to get a sub par bbq meal due to THE ONLY employee just up & leaving was the final straw. Side note: If you want a refund they won't give you one. Tell you to take it up with corporate the next business day. UNACCEPTABLE.
