We stopped at this cute little country feelin place while traveling home to South Carolina. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and had our drinks in a matter of a minutes from a friendly server, Klohe(sp)! She was so sweet & on top of it all, never had to ask for anything! Everything tasted great & seemed to be homemade! There's plenty of parking & also handicapped friendly. Bathrooms were also clean. I'm definitely stopping again when coming through! read more

When we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and big "welcome in ". Our waitress was very attentive to our team glasses. The food was great and the place is clean. We also appreciated the Christian atmosphere with scriptures on the walls. Very nice place to eat! read more

You know how Hallmark is full of movies where a big city guy/girl goes to a small southern town and falls in love with someone they met in a bakery or flower shop or so some other charming restaurant. Well, this restaurant feels like it's out of one of those movies. It perfectly captures charming southern hospitality. The food is delicious. The portions are huge, expect leftovers. The service was so kind. The ambience was exactly what I would expect from a small Arkansas town. Absolutely go here if you are ever in De Queen! read more

Ordered the Roast beef plate with fries, the fries were cold, the roast beef?, was like ground up. The waitress never checked back on us. The cashier didn't ask how our food was, didn't say Thank you, the place needs some repairs. It took 26 minutes to get our order. Cooks . read more

Recently, the ownership has changed, and the food is better than ever! On Wednesdays you can get home-made meatloaf, and on Fridays is fish with all the fixings, but my favorite is Thursdays - it's like THANKSGIVING DINNER! Chicken and dressing, sweet potato casserole, yeast roll, and green beans with little chucks of ham like granny used to make. There is a lunch special every day and a huge selection to suit everyone. The food is home cooking and very, very good. read more

This is a great place to eat either breakfast or lunch. The food is excellent and plentiful. The service is fast, friendly, and impeccable. The ambience is remarkable in that the Ranch House theme is cared out to perfection inside the restaurant. Don't miss the opportunity to eat here anytime you can. read more

Great food, environment, and service. The waitress made sure my eggs were done right. Thank you.

Great food even better service very friendly staff enjoyed going there everyday for the last month plus

Stopped in for breakfast passing through on a cross country road trip. Food was really good. Had that home cooked taste that we love. Great value with most plates at or less than $10. Large portions. Kids had hotcakes with hot cocoa, adults had the classic breakfast plates with grits, toast, and coffee. All were pleased with the meal. Kids LOVED the cocoa and they're little connoisseurs. Our waitress was very nice, warm and friendly. Another was a bit less keen to make eye contact when approaching our table, and didn't smile very much... seemed a little cold. The hostess we checked out with was very friendly as well. The establishment is Blue Lives friendly. Patrons seem to know one another and you can tell it's a small community where everyone knows everyone. Dining area is clean. Ample parking. Ranch decor. Bathrooms are clean. Sit where you want. Now the other guests... some of them stared at us throughout our meal. Several tables just gave longer than usual gazes. We just smiled in return and they'd look away... but no return smile. One table of elderly women in particular really locked in on us. We smiled and gestured hello but that didn't render a return either. Just more staring from them. So much so that I had to look up the ethnic population in the city and discovered there's only a roughly 6% population of African Americans. So maybe they just hadn't seen any in a while? It was a bit odd, but driving through certain parts of the country it can be expected, I guess. A little off putting during the meal but I can't fault the Ranch House for that. Other than the odd staring, we had a very nice breakfast and would actually come back if we were passing through town again. read more

!! SAD DISAPPOINTMENT !! The Ranch House is a quaint cafe with potential; however, it does NOT live up to the 4.3 Yelp rating. 1 STAR: Biscuits & Gravy - The biscuits were burnt on the bottom and the gravy was flour paste with absolutely NO FLAVOR. Basically POOR FILLER FOOD, but you have to be hungry enough to eat it. 2.5 STARS: Coffee was fair, tasty, hot. 2 STARS: The Cheese Burger patty was hand pressed and generous in portion, however, it LACKED the savory qualities of a good juicy beef patty. The bun was not grilled nor toasted, the hamburger had no secret sauce, just a bare skim of mayo and a bare skim of mustard. Plain, BORING filler food. 1 STAR: Seasoned French Fries were a grease bomb and carried an unidentifiable flavor, I don't know if the unidentifiable flavor was from old cooking oil or old freezer burnt season fries. 1 STAR: The lemonade was of POOR quality, maybe old, maybe a shortcut cheap version of real lemonade. The plastic glass was disintegrating, especially at the rim ... I had wondered if I was going to ingest plastic fragments. 1 STAR: The service was bare minimum, with no coffee refill (and we shouldn't have to ask). This cafe was a sad disappointment. We wanted to find a decent place to dine once or twice a week, BUT this is NOT THE PLACE. Would we recommend? Absolutely NOT! Are we going to return? Absolutely NOT! TOUGH LOVE: Learn how to properly season your food! Open a cookbook for ideas! Purchase new glassware ... stop using 30 year old disintegrating plastic glasses ... it's not safe. Change your fryer oil! read more

This was a random stop on our road trip back to Louisiana and while the place looks like it needs some outside updates, the food was excellent I had BLT and homemade onion rings. My hubby had chicken fried steak with fried okra. Service was excellent. read more

We simply had one of the best lunches ever at Ranch House Cafe. The outside of this place is pretty sketchy looking ( my wife a.m. didn't want to go in) but wow am I glad I talked her into it. The Friday lunch special was catfish, cole slaw, pinto beans, fries, hush puppies, pickled green tomatoes, and bread pudding for dessert- and all for about $7.50. Holy cow. Everything was great and served super quick ! Crispy catfish, pinto beans that were seasoned like your mom used to make, and the bread pudding.... was... decadent. Would love to eat here again. Make it almost worth a road trip!! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! I almost didn't want to go in because the outside doesn't look too appealing. Glad my husband and daughter decided otherwise. The inside is clean and the food tastes fresh and delicious! My grandson ordered the four piece chicken tenders and it was more like four huge chicken breasts! He said it was soooo good and now has leftovers for the rest of our trip, lol. read more

A road food restaurant. Great service, down home cooking, and a local clientele. I had the grilled pork chop. Dang that was good. Glad we found this place on Yelp. Better than any chain food experience. read more

the fríes were pitiful filled 1/4th of the plate, i'm pretty sure everything else was good but the fries just pass on because you get like 25 cents worth of fries negl service was nice and it seemed chill read more

Nice little mom & Pop restaurant. Friendly staff and food was good. I am glad we stopped and gave them a try.

The waitress didn't even know what in the omelette on the menu. Our food sat in the pass/pickup window wh our waitress getting her other table drinks, so food was cold by the time we started eating. Was in the area and good reviews; however, will find somewhere else. Disappointed! read more

The place looks run down a tad and a place where regulars would eat. The staff was very friendly. Covid rules were followed. I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak sandwich and fries. The bread was buttered an toasted, so that was nice. The steak was cooked in what tasted like burnt old grease. The fries had the frozen bag taste. So one star for existing. One star for practicing Covid safety. One star for the excellent friendliness of staff and attention to level of drinks. No stars for the food. My buddy had the catfish and he does not endorse it either. read more

The best breakfast I've ever enjoyed! The coffee was great too. Sweet, friendly , and prompt service. If you're in DeQueen for breakfast, skip MCd's and go downtown. It will be worth it! Biker friendly too! read more

Stop by here for a late lunch with my family on our way back to Dallas. The food was amazing and the Oreo pie was the best. Chicken fried steak and the apricot fried pie were also great. The service was excellent and the food was top notch. Perfect spot for a home cooked meal . read more

Staff is always friendly. The food is like home cooking. I love their breakfast. The place is always clean.

Many locals went here, which is always a good sign. We were there before 1 PM on Saturday, and the place was still very busy for lunch. Coffee was super fresh for $0.99 with unlimited refills. Where else can you find that nowadays? Harsh brown was very delicious, and breakfast portion was huge. read more

Service and cleanliness needs some help, one waitress cleaned a table brushed food on the floor, waitress never came back for drink refills or to go drinks, fix the locks on the bathrooms, we won't be back read more

Stopped here for early lunch. It was fantastic. Come with an appetite cause you get plenty to eat for the price. Come before 11:30 because the locals come in for lunch. Onion Rings are a must. Cheeseburger and chicken fried steak sandwich are great. Everyone knows everyone here. Hometown place to stop and eat. Home style place to eat. Easy to get in and out of. read more

Stopped in on our girl's trip, traveling from East Texas. The food was delicious, service was great. I loved the onion rings! Hand battered, fried to perfection. Well worth ordering. None of us had room for dessert, but if I ever manage to roll back through, I will make it a point to save room for fried pies, or three layer cake, or homemade pies! :) read more

Had a great Friday fish lunch. The fried pickles are awesome. Everyone was very friendly and took care of all our dining needs.

Options in DeQueen are slim, but this is a good, solid choice. Food was above average, service was great, restaurant was super clean, and prices were cheap. Lunch special that comes with dessert was $7.50...oh, and speaking of dessert...have the pecan bread pudding and thank me later. It's actually not like any other bread pudding I've ever had; it's really dense and covered with pecan caramel topping...excellent. Would definitely recommend. read more

I eat at the Ranch House often, however my share today is about my meal last Thursday night. I had extended family in town from out of state. They found us a big table and our waitress was great. We were able to have a good meal and enjoy our time together read more

Driving back home from a long vacation and found this home cooking on Yelp. Had the Friday special Catfish, coleslaw, brown beans,hush puppies and pecan bread pudding. $7.25 was so nice to have quality food and at this price. Great chance after having so much fast food for over a week!!! Staff was great and lots of locals read more

We ate there this evening. It took us over 30 minutes to get our 2 meals. My husband's was completely cold & I had a few cold pieces of fried squash on my plate. He sent his back & we waited another 20 minutes to get his so I was finished eating by the time his came back out & he said it tasted like they had just microwaved it after being told it was being made fresh. Not to mention random servers came up 2 different times trying to give us other people's food. They offered no discount on our check after waiting so long on our food & bringing it out cold & having to wait again. Not impressed. read more

Great food a little expensive but quick and good would suggest over and over onlything good around here
