Spent two nights in Santa Fe and ate here both nights. On the first night we split a half rack rib dinner, adding an extra side and two extra ribs. The ribs were perfect, tender with a little cheese. Just wished we ordered an extra muffin because they're cheap and delicious. Second night I had a salad with salmon. Loved that they asked how I wanted the salmon cooked. It was prepared perfectly. Our server, Marissa, was amazing, frequently checking in on us, and even arranging a free dessert. If I lived in Santa Fe I'd need to buy a new wardrobe. The vibe was bustling, I liked that the booth tables were slightly elevated; solid bbq joint atmosphere. read more

We were heading home from a camping trip and looking for something in Cerrillos. This one was the choice. Unfortunately we didn't realize it was a BBQ place until inside. I'm good with it, but not my hubby. He ended up getting a burger which he said was ok. I got the half chicken with white BBQ sauce. Mine was great. Chicken well done, sides were excellent (I chose the BBQ beans and potato salad). The green chile cheese muffin was good, too. All in all it was a good meal and the price was good too. Our dinner was under $40! Actually closer to $30! read more

The Ranch House - Sitting area while waiting - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Monday. March 2, 2026. Lunch. This restaurant is right by the Texas Roadhouse. So a Ranch House and a Roadhouse get together and have a... Nevermind. I visited here with my mom, sisters and wife after attending a funeral. My middle sister said the food was good here. The place had lots of full tables and the parking lot stood packed. They had a lunch menu, which we ordered from. Lunch menu valid Monday through Friday, 11 am until 2:30 pm. Our waitress looked very busy, but she refilled our drinks a few times. I ordered the baby back rib plate for $15. This included 4 bones, a cornbread, and waffle fries. I used there spicy bbq sauce, which wasn't too sugary and just the right amount of fire. They served a healthy amount of large waffle fries and the cornbread wasn't too dense and tasted great. Ribs were moist and meaty. My wife ordered the smaller plate ($10) with 1/4 pound of brisket, cornbread and sautéed spinach. The black iced tea, $4, tasted super fresh and strong. The plates here were large and fresh. Service fast and friendly. Lunch prices were very fair for the amount of food they offered. I will be back again. read more

The Ranch House - Grilled Salmon - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Service here was very good! We were immediately greeted. There were a lot of people waiting to be seated and it was about 20-30min wait. The restaurant was clean and service was very quick! Food came out fast and they also had the football game on the TV. The food: I was not very impressed with their BBQ. The ribs were overdone, hardly any meat on them and very dry. Like they had been cooked hours ago and left under a heating lamp. Brisket and pulled pork were ok, bbq sauce too sweet for me. The potato salad and cornbread were really good! Overall it was ok, will probably not be back. read more

The Ranch House - Brisket and pulled pork combo with 2 ribs, potato salad and bbq beans - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

The Ranch House offered a top tier experience! The food, the service, the vibe, everything was great! We got there on time for Happy Hour which meant $8 strawberry margaritas and some super yummy $7 potato skins served with bacon, cheddar, chives, sour cream, and their delicious BBQ ranch. I did a build your own buffalo burger as my dinner. For my toppings I did Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and the smoked crimini mushrooms. It definitely fulfilled my burger craving and the fries it came with were good as well. My boyfriend got the Ranch House platter and it came with sooo much food! There was Brisket, pork, sausage, and 2 baby back ribs for the meats. The sides consisted of green chile slaw, BBQ beans, and my favorite the green chile cornbread muffin. They provided us with their special BBQ sauces in mild and hot. I personally preferred the mild one better, but I liked both. As for the service the only complaint is that we had about a 15 minute wait to be seated, but they did have a nice waiting area so it wasn't a big deal, especially since they had everything decorated for Christmas. We definitely walked out of The Ranch House very full and with very happy bellies. I highly recommend coming here when in Santa Fe! read more

Got the bbq plate , was dry and cold, also the muffin was cold. Service was great. The restaurant is fine otherwise

Wow didn't think I'd find a note worthy bbq spot when visiting Santa Fe but yelp steered me here. Almost came here my first night in two but had Italian, tried this for night 2 and WOW. Came for happy hour and enjoyed drinks and an appetizer on a reduced price. Gf had the Buffalo sandwich and I had the ranch platter. The bbq was flavorful and we had so much food that we left with leftovers and enjoyed everything we got. I wasn't crazy for the Cole slaw but that was my only negative mark but plenty of parking great price and service and great portions and flavor! A MUST TRY SPOT read more

The food here is amazing! The baby back ribs were smoky and fall off the bones delicious! The brisket was equally as good! I really liked their potato salad which has lots of mustard and is a little tangy. My husband loved the chili cornbread too. Everything is delicious and our server Karyme did a great job! She even offered free dessert since it was our first time here! read more

Ambiance is great! I like the decor and for the most part the noise level. They are very group and family friendly. Their bathrooms are nice and well kept. The servers are pretty darn good and the food is excellent. I had the creme brûlée and it was so good! The Mac and cheese was excellent! The nachos were a big serving, probably enough for at least 2, maybe 3! They have excellent sorbe!! The only debby downer is there is a wait. A very long wait during peak hours for dinner for sure. So use the get in line app so you won't have to wait during peak hours. read more

I always like to try new restaurants when I travel back home to northern NM (& also frequent my favorites). Located near my (now closed) favorite Italian spot Rustica, this place was pretty darn good! We started off with chips, salsa, and queso (ended up getting two orders). They have happy hour 7 days a week and I ordered the house cab and they ended up charging me for a totally different one at 10.00/glass. As for our food, I ordered the sirloin steak NM style which included rice, beans, and an enchilada. Portion size was decent but I was disappointed that it was not bigger. Mom ordered the sausage plate and she enjoyed it but it was a bit too much sausage for her (greasy). My friends ordered a baked potato, salad, and the other the same identical plate as mine. Overall, great place with a full service bar and the service was excellent. It was busy and a little bit of a wait but not bad. I will definitely be back but the only con about this place is the food is pricey for the portion size (prices aren't bad on paper). Also, make sure if you are ordering from the happy hour menu (did not have to sit at the bar) that they charge you for happy hour pricing. read more

This time was in-house. the half chicken. Not bad, actually for the price too. Good smoke on the bird, skin wa intact and good. The BBQ beans are a little under seasoned. My partners $40 ribeye was ordered mid rare got it medium. They were kind enough to discount the meal slightly, and comp the dessert. Server was kind and attentive Thanks y'all!

We stopped in again to see if they could outperform themselves from last time we were there, and they did. Marisa was a great attendant and spoiled us with extraordinary service. The food was terrific again, and I wanted to comment on something uncommon for me: they serve their salad with the very best cornbread croutons we have experienced. We recommend not only to stop in at this consistently good restaurant, but also get the salad with these mouthwatering croutons. Bon Appetit...! read more

Update. I returned. This time, the hostess sat me at a table in the (middle of) the dining room. It's always awkward when dining alone, to sit in the center of a dining room. Here, the booths are elevated. So it's as though you're on display. You are. The food: cheeseburger was remarkable. Onion strings, pungent barbecue sauce, high quality meat, and fresh bun made it an outstanding choice. Most notable is the cornbread here. While the staff forgets to heat it up often, when it is served properly (warm), it's truly breathtaking. The service: odd, odd, odd. I know they're in the city bizarre (Santa Fe), but it's still (barely) America. The waitress stands intentionally 8' away from me, speaks in a faint mumble, almost hoping that I'll go away. Im asking myself, why. My teeth are brushed. I'm wearing ordinary clothes, no maga cap or fur coat. I have to cup my ears to hear her and after receiving the food, she disappears for 25 minutes. I think that this' a great example of an outstanding menu, talented chefs, but servers maybe 2 weeks out of high school or? I'd recommend ordering exactly what I did, but coming in a large group, demanding a booth, and being assertive. read more

Our server, Peggy, was phenomenal. There were four of us in our party and each ordered something different. All of the food was very good. The salmon was to die for, but the mac & cheese right behind it. The only negative I would say about our experience was that it was extremely noisy so for the individuals in our party that are hearing challenged it was a little difficult to have conversations. Great restaurant, would definitely recommend. read more

The food was excellent! Had the green Chile brisket & calabacitas. The green Chile cornbread was an added bonus. Very nice atmosphere too, with decent prices. read more

We stopped in at 3:30, Saturday and it was busy. Twenty minute wait, but well worth it. I had the Pulled Chicken Sandwich, it was huge it came with fries, but I opted for the side salad for $1.00. The salad was yummy. My partner had the Brisket and loved it. The BBQ sauce was original and dessert was great. Our server was excellent. The prices were great too. Keep doing what your doing. read more

Santa Fe, New Mexico Came here on a Monday night at 6:20 as we are staying one night in Santa Fe. The wait is 45 minutes they told me. They have a bar off to the right of the front entrance to the restaurant, but you can only sit at the bar top to order. The booths along the wall are for the restaurant to seat. The menu is pretty impressive. Everything from salmon for $20 to pasta, burgers, salads, and more. It's 6:40 pm and we order our food and ask for a cup of the soup of the day which is corn chowder. We are informed they are out of it. A restaurant that runs out of the soup of the day at dinner time? Very odd. No problem, I'll order a loaded baked potato. Oh wait, they are out of that too. Time for the chef to review his ordering of food to accommodate his guests. I ordered the macaroni and cheese with smoked chicken on the side. The chicken was served warm and was so incredibly tough. I just had to ask for a new side of chicken. They brought it out and what a difference. The chicken was much more tender and hot. Having this new plate of chicken allowed me to give it a much better review. Mac & cheese Was relatively bland. The noodles are cavatappi, and it comes with a seasoned crumb top. The topping was inconsistent with texture. Some of it was very good and flavorful and the other was a very hard, dry breadcrumb. I needed to add salt, pepper and barbecue sauce to the mac & cheese to give it flavor. My husband ordered the same thing and said it was fine. He also ordered the cornbread and said that was absolutely delicious. I did save room for dessert and ordered the apple crisp. It was served in a dish the size of a crème brûlée bowl. It is an oat covered apple crisp with dices of apple and a scoop of Häagen-Dazs ice cream on top. No nuts on this dessert. It could've used a bit more apple, but the flavor overall was very good. I am glad I made this my choice to end the meal. The service was below average. Our waitress was kind. However, she was so quiet we could barely hear her and asked her to often repeat herself. She never came to the table and asked us what we wanted. But more so just stood there and waited for us to talk first. We had to ask for water refills as did the table next to us. If a table asked her for something as she was bringing something to us, she would take our item back to the kitchen to get what the other table asked for, then bring our item back out. It was very odd. She was only able to handle one thing at a time. With all of this said about the restaurant, I will come back. I would like to try different things on the menu. It is a nice environment, that is cozy, and welcoming. The patio looks wonderful and I'd like to try it warmer night. read more

The Ranch House offers a an extensive menu, a large and accommodating dining area with great staff. We have visited the restaurant on a couple of occasions and had good experiences overall. Some things to consider: the bar and adjacent booths/tables have multiple televisions with games for sports fans; the dining area feels comfortable for families, and parking is plentiful. Staff work hard and we've visited at times when we were left to fend for ourselves... it wasn't hard to flag team members for help. Good overall! read more

The Ranch house is known for their Texas wood smoked BBQ. We had a friend to pick up at the SF airport and wanted to grab a quick drink at a bar close by. Google or Yelp had no good recommendations, so we took the leap and drove over. It was Sunday afternoon, and the parking lot was packed. Great little bar, with a solid happy hour food and cocktail menu- everyday from 3-6. Ordered the pork sliders, they didn't disappoint. Bar was charming w great ambiance. read more

Great server. Free dessert. Brisquet was amazing. Mac n cheese was phenomenal but kind of a boring vibe

Nice Southwest rustic restaurant. The service was excellent. The food was even better! My wife had an outstanding Dirty Martini while we waited at the bar. This place is popular and there was a wait for our table so we decided to wait at the bar and have a drink. That turned into having our meal at the bar so no waiting in the lobby. I had the brisket plate and everything was delicious. That includes the cornbread muffin, balls of soft butter, bbq beans and potato salad. My wife had the Ranch House platter which had a few items. The sausage was amazing! The brisket, pulled pork and ribs were all very good. read more

There's nothing like a house cooked meal. Caleb, Cassey, and I needed some food after a 6 hour drive from Denver to Santa Fe. I made a list of local restaurants that sounded good to visit for my vacation in Santa Fe and my friends suggested The Ranch House. Both Cassey and Caleb say it's one of their frequent stops for a dinner out on town and said it's a local gem that they don't want tourists to know about. But, that didn't stop us from having a 30 minute wait when we got there Sunday night. Once we got a table, we quickly ordered a water, beer, and an appetizer. While we sat there with our drinks and my friends telling me about how good the jalapeno cornbread is... we started to wonder where our appetizer was. The young waitress came over and took our orders and asked if we needed an appetizer or more drinks. We all got really confused but just rolled with it and didn't mention anything. Within 20 minutes, we had our plates of food in front of us and it looked good... but that appetizer was still missing. None of us said anything since we think the waitress was new and feeling pretty overwhelmed with how busy it was. We dug into our food with must gusto and tiredness of some weary travelers. I got the smokehouse bbq burger with the waffle fries and a slice of that much-hyped cornbread. Each bite was pure bliss. This place knows how to cook a burger and cook it right... which happens to be medium rare, in my opinion. But, they will cook it to however you wish when you place your order. The waffle fries were a great accompaniment to the burger and that jalapeno cornbread was warm and every bit delicious as my friends said it would be. Now to balance out the sadness of not getting the appetizer with a funny story. As we were sitting and chatting, I noticed a group of people walking straight towards our table. I noticed the person in front had a small piece of paper in her hand. I thought we were going to get some kind of unprompted sales pitch but... it was a sweet lady from Texas who got a $10 off voucher for her drink being messed up. She said she will never be back and thought we could use it. All she requested was a hug. I got up and gave her the biggest hug I could give and they even got Caleb to get up and give a hug, too! Their group took a few photos of our hugs and went on their way. I regret not getting them to send me the photos of the fun moment but it'll live on in my memory as an example of southern hospitality. The Ranch House was big on flavor with just a small miss on an inexperienced waitress doing her best. Stay tasty, Santa Fe. read more

I was craving a gourmet cheeseburger. The online menu was descriptive of what I envisioned and craved. Apparently; this place does not know how to disappoint! The service was EXCELLENT, prompt, friendly and professional. The ambiance felt more like "dinner with family at home" and less "restaurant" dinner. The pricing is very reasonable and the cleanliness is outstanding. Definitely a new "go to" for us! A must try if you're traveling through or if you live here. read more

I have 4 states left to visit and have eaten BBQ in most. This was our first time in Santa Fe so of course had to check this place out. I have to say it was some of the worst 'q I (and my family) has experienced... Without exception everything was dry, dry, dry. Pork, regular dry. Brisket, so dry it crumbled (not fall apart, CRUMBLED.). Baby back ribs tear-off-bone-and-stick-between-your-teeth dry. Sausage--who yhe heck slices sausage lengthwise THEN GRILLS IT??!! There was not a drop of fat/juice left in that sausage when I got it. Mac & Cheese w/brisket? Yup you guessed it--dry, clumpy mess. The only real liquid in it to take then place of the lacking cheese sauce was some grease that coated the noodles. Needless to say, we left our plates 3/4 pr more uneaten. Thank goodness there was a slight silver lining in the queso and salsa apps--some of the best of both we sampled in the ABQ/SF area. Not enough to make it worth a visit however. Wow so disappointed. We were there at around 12:10pm on a Friday so its not like they were running out of stuff from a busy day. We felt sorry foe those people waiting in line at the door to be seated. Not sure where you should go for BBQ around here (the "chain" we tried was not much to write home about either) but this sure is not it. 'Q lovers avoid read more

Okay, I'll be the first to say it! The Ranch House BBQ is on par with the legendary Terry Black BBQ in Texas!!! Our waiter (TJ, goes by TJ, everyone calls him TJ, for God's sake just call him TJ) was a pleasure to meet. He took extremely good care of us. And the setting inside the restaurant was very comfortable, super clean and charming. We will definitely be coming back soon! read more
