The Ranch is a long-standing restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas, which is a very popular place for after work Happy Hour. Recently, I had lunch here, and they now have a new farm to table menu that really exceeded my expectations. The Ranch has reinvented itself many times, and now it's a restaurant I would visit for the food AND atmosphere. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - At its core, it's a bar with several indoor and outdoor dining areas with a country theme. The Ranch is so versatile that you can host a private event while people dine in the main area while others hang out at the bar. There's also a charming outdoor area that is nice if the weather is cool. Best of all - it's full of people and energy. 1 Star. Service - Our server was great. We explained the concept, went over the menu, and while a large table occupied his time, several of the staff were helpful. Everyone was dressed in Cowboy/Ranch gear. Texas Southern Hospitality is real. 1 Star. Food - My most recent visit was like visiting a new restaurant. The Ranch's menu has changed, and everything was new. I started with the pork belly appetizers, which was a great start to meal. The tender pork meat had a layer of sweet + salty belly that melts in your mouth. I went with the Barbacoa Grilled Cheese that was one of the best I've ever had. The barbacoa (shredded BBQ beef) was the star and was better than any brisket grilled cheese I've had. The sourdough was grilled with lots of butter, so after devouring the sandwich I had to wash my hands. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Absolutely. I had been to The Ranch so many times I considered a place to gather for Happy Hour. Not anymore. The new menu is incredible, and I can't wait to return. 1 Star. read more

Second visit to The Ranch in Las Colinas and still can't figure out the hype. Came in after seeing the Cowgirl Dinner on TikTok -- steak, Caesar salad, fries and a margarita for $30. Ordered two. The Vaquero Shrimp were the undisputed highlight -- genuinely outstanding. Everything else fell flat. Steak was bland, fries arrived cold. Two visits, same story. My guess is the overpriced menu items deliver what the atmosphere promises but the $30 deal is a value trap. The Ranch looks the part but the kitchen isn't backing it up at this price point. SAS Verdict: Not Approved. The Vaquero Shrimp alone can't carry the whole meal. read more

This place was so good that I visited twice on a recent business trip, once for a networking dinner and once for lunch with my sister before heading home. Aside from the very-attentive service, here are the things we had that made the experience so amazing: Fried green tomatoes 6 oz filet (with crab meat & some sort of yummy lemon sauce over the top) with creamy potatoes & the best Brussels sprouts Lemon drop martini Pecan pie (trust me on this one) read more

Great food, dim room with beautiful chandeliers and lighting fixtures. Lively restaurant. Was already full on a Thursday around 5:45. Wish there HH had more options. Tried their queso, flatbread and double cheeseburger. Queso was delicious! read more

I came here with my friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. We came for the Cowgirl Dinner which comes with Steak, Fries, Caesar salad, and your choice of cocktail. We started off with the Pork Belly Bites as our starter, I liked the flavor but didn't love the texture so much. The Cowgirl Dinner itself was delicious, I enjoyed all of it. I ordered a lemon drop with my meal and it was so good, my only complaint is that I wish it was colder. I also tried the Lady Bird cocktail and that was really good. For my friend's birthday they brought our a Whiskey Bread Pudding that was absolutely delectable. The ambiance is very relaxed, but the place gets busy during that lunch rush, so I recommend a reservation. The service was phenomenal our waiter Angel was wonderful. Great place for any get together, I would definitely come back. read more

Conveniently located roughly 15 mins away from DFW, I chose this place exactly for that reason. I was flying home to LAX from Newark and since I have a good friend who lives in Dallas, I booked a flight that gave me a 5 hour layover at DFW so I could have dinner with said friend. DFW is massive. My friend was 30 mins late, but I wasn't trippin. I used that time to charge my phone and get a little work done. We didn't have a resy, but were seated right away. First of all, this place is massive. We both started with the espresso martini before realizing they had a happy hour menu. Our second drink was from the hh menu even though we had no business having a second cocktail. To start, we shared the fried green tomatoes. For whatever reason, we both ended up getting the western burger. Food was great. There was so much of it that I was only able to finish half and ended up taking the rest home. Great service as well. The place was crowded by the time we left. We only planned to stay for 45 minutes, but ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. Big thanks to the bartender. I went back to the airport a little tipsy after 2 drinks. read more

While in town for work, I came in with a reservation for 3 on a weekday night and this place was PACKED. We had to line up just to get our reserved table on a weekday night. Clearly a popular spot. We shared an appetizer, a steak, sides, and a dessert between us 3. - Fried Tomatoes (appetizer): not bad! Light, not greasy at all, and that savory sauce on top was yummy: - Wagyu Tomahawk: the star of the show. Loved the peppered crust which was full of flavor. Not a true "Japanese wagyu" texture, but still an excellent steak overall. - Sides (mashed potatoes, fries, broccolini, cornbread): All pretty good across the board. I liked the cornbread the most and wished there was more of it. Usually a side of cornbread is much more substantial and comes with honey butter. - Steak sauce: we ask for a side of this. Whatever they had was unique and great. Fruity and tangy, a great complement to the tomahawk. - Pecan Pie: look at the photo! A huge, tall slice. No notes. Loved the dense ice cream on top. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall: no critiques, just an all-around great dinner. Definitely recommend the tomahawk and pie. read more

The wait staff was wonderful. The food was very good, and came out very quickly. They had some happy hour prices for a few drinks and a few appetizers and they were very good . My daughter split the chicken fried chicken and had more than enough to eat . We had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and queso Blanco with Piccadillo. It was good. I had a house salad and it was not bland. It had tomatoes and cucumbers and cheese and candidied pecans. We were very happy with everything. It was a Friday afternoon and by the time we left, it started to get busy, but we had no problems getting a seat because the restaurant is very large. . I hope to go there again next time I'm in the Dallas area -- it was very close to DFW read more

We ordered the Cowboy Feast. It came with a 33 oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye, an 8 oz garlic stuffed filet, a 12 oz New York strip, and mesquite grilled Gulf shrimp. For sides, I chose the mac and cheese, cornbread, tallow fries, and Brussels sprouts. This is the kind of meal you remember for a while. The Wagyu tomahawk ribeye was the star of the table. Tender, flavorful, and packed with that rich beefy taste you'd expect from a steak of that caliber. The garlic stuffed filet was incredibly tender and added another layer of flavor, while the New York strip had a great texture and a perfect mesquite grilled finish. The Gulf shrimp were cooked well and added a nice contrast to all the steak. Smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were excellent across the board. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the cornbread was warm and comforting, the tallow fries were crispy and addictive, and the Brussels sprouts provided a nice balance to the feast. The restaurant itself has a true Texas atmosphere with a rustic upscale feel. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. This wasn't just dinner. It felt like a Texas steakhouse experience from start to finish. Definitely one of the most memorable meals I've had in the Dallas area. read more

Staying close to fly out of DFW super early and wanted some thing good. Settled on this spot because the reviews were good. We arrived and there was a 30 minute wait. They got us in a little quicker but still a solid 20 minutes wait. The server was attentive and kept the glasses filled, our app of fried green tomatoes came out pretty fast too. She had the Cobb salad and I had chicken fried chicken for entrees. She said her salad was pretty good, nothing over the top. My chicken fried chicken was just okay. Too much breading, some of which had no chicken in it. The potatoes were dry and green beans over cooked. The vibe is rustic and the atmosphere loud. It's an okay spot, not sure I'd come back. read more

I've been in the Dallas area for the past week and I'm giving up beef when I get back home. We came here on a Thursday evening and I ordered the prime rib with fries and asparagus. Food was amazing!!! I washed that down with two old fashioned. Drinks were good!! The service was great, our waiter continuously check on us without being overbearing and kept our drinks flowing. We set outside and enjoyed the cool breeze which enhanced our experience. Overall I enjoyed this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good steakhouse to visit. read more

The Ranch is consistently good- I've been a few times and never had a dish I'd classify as less than amazing. Friends and family are always impressed with the food and atmosphere. The steak is cooked and seasoned to perfection; and paired with the tallow fries? *chef's kiss* Recently I tried out to the drinks and was blown away with the selection- Michael recommended the perfect tequila for my ranch water, which wound up being the best one I've had. Finish any meal with their chipotle chocolate cake and you'll never be happier leaving a restaurant read more

Five Stars across the board! Texas centric from atmosphere to cuisine. Took a customer for business lunch and both of us were impressed with the experience. Met at front desk by well trained greeters who immediately entered my name and phone number into the cue system. Less than 3 minutes later my name was called by America . She asked our preference in seating and escorted us to the table. She introduced us to our servers Edgar and Sarah. I can't say enough about the care and meticulous service the provided. One of the best teams I have ever had. Chef Jorge Rivera provided us with his outstanding queso and chips . Wow what a start! We each ordered Fajitas, One chicken only One combination beef and chicken. Every morsel was savory. Looking around at the food being served to nearby tables confirmed that a return visit was definitely in order. I highly recommend this all Texas unique dining restaurant. When in Las Colinas, make sure to stop here. The bar is huge and well stocked. See you there! read more

I am definitely updating my review after our positive experience last Sunday (6/28/26) Our initial greeting from the hostesses was lackluster, at best. Three females, all in their early twenties, all acting as if they don't want to be there. Same as my last experience. Then, a lovely woman showed us to our table. If I am not mistaken, she used to work at Fish City Grill before they closed. She was so welcoming and sweet! Our server, Kristen (sp?) was STELLAR! I truly hope management is having her train staff, she was excellent. Kind, personable, shared recommendations. Our guests were running late, and she was still attentive and our drinks were never empty. Even though our guests' tardiness was out of our control, she never acted upset about this. Once our friends arrived and the food was delivered to the table, we were all happy. Delicious food. One person ordered ribs, and Kristen even brought over a steamy hot cloth for him to clean his sticky hands- wow! Great service and great food. Hey, perhaps Kristen should train the lazy, unhappy hostesses, as well? read more

I just had oral surgery, which I explained when I placed the order for my chicken tortilla soup. I cannot chew. I asked for no chicken , no tortilla strips. Avocado and cheese on the side. What did I get, chicken in my soup along with no avocado and no cheese. Really ,if you can't get it together on a simple soup to go that's pretty sad ! $9.00 for something I probably wouldn't be able to eat fully and enjoy. read more

The Ranch does it again!!! I dined here for brunch for the first time, and it was nothing short of amazing! We received the BEST service and sat on the patio in the shade, enjoying the beautiful weather. We had the blueberry biscuits with lemon sauce--when I tell you it was so good, I've never had anything like it! It was warm, buttery, and fluffy, and the lemon sauce took it to the next level. We also participated in the $30 Cowgirl Dinner for Women's History. You get a martini, Caesar salad, fries, and steak! Everything was seasoned to perfection, and we topped it off with mimosas. I can't wait to dine there again! read more

Walking into this joint is quite the place. Felt like I was walking into a spread on 40,000 acres. Service was kind and spot on. Had the Chicken Fried Steak with Jalapeno sausage gravy and had whipped potatoes and creamed Cajun corn as my two sides. So tasty. Lightly breaded and crispy batter steak that was nice and tender. Potatoes were nice and creamy. The creamed Cajun corn was amazing. Still had chunks where they cut off from the cob. Oh so tasty. Also had a great starter with Chef favorite four. We had onion rings, fried green tomatoes, queso with warm tortillas as well as two elk tacos. The elk meat was so tender and a great barbacoa flavor for the crispy taco!!!! This place has so many choices to eat. Will be going back to this joint!!! read more

This place was PACKED! Customer service at the bar was fantastic and definitely a highlight of the visit. As for the food, the shrimp and grits had more of a tomato-based flavor than I expected. I also wish there had been more grits in the bowl--especially for $19. It was a large bowl but pretty minimal on the actual portion. I originally came for the bread pudding, so it was disappointing that they didn't have any available. I ended up trying the carrot cake instead, which was pretty good, though it didn't seem like it was made in-house. read more

Came here famished & exhausted from an early flight. Good thing it was a Thursday around 3-ish that we were here so we did not have to wait. Ambiance was amazing! Aside from the holiday decors, the local feel if Texas is there. The staff was great! I thought it was only ours but whoever you talk to has that cheerful spirit thst is not forced. Food was excellent! I ordered the catfish and shrimp plate and side salad. Oh my, the dressing was light and the meal was on point. We had to order dessert even though we were stuffed and both if our orders hit the spot. Unfortunately we did not get to try their cocktails because we were all exhausted. Highly recommend this place and would definitely he back when given the chance. read more

Walked in for a last minute dinner for 2 without a reservation and they were happy to seat us. We started off with drinks, the Bourbon Smash and the Front Porch Swing. Both were fresh and very well balanced. For our appetizer, we ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Bites. They were glazed perfectly and the texture was super tender with a crunchy outside. For our main entree, we shared the 18oz Ribeye, with a side of Brussels sprouts and whipped potato's. It was more than enough for the 2 of us and really delicious ! Excited to come back when we're in town again ! read more

Here's a more natural Yelp-style version: The Ranch used to be awesome, but since merging with Haywire it just hasn't been the same. In 2024 and 2025, the steaks were consistently great quality and the food felt worth the price. On our most recent visit, that quality was noticeably missing. I still recommend the chips and queso, which were very good, but outside of that the menu was pretty forgettable. The steak quality has definitely gone downhill compared with what The Ranch used to serve. We spent around $150, and the value just isn't there anymore. There are much better restaurants at this price point. Really disappointing because The Ranch used to be one of the better places around, but the Haywire merger seems to have changed what made it great. read more

Cool country bar restaurant vibe with live music and big portions. Was able to get a table as a walk in with minimal wait - awesome work by the front end staff. Had the western burger which was great - good bbq sauce and the crispy onions were a great flavor touch. Only negative - the waitress was very pushy on the sides, suggesting that shrimp didn't come with the dish we ordered saying it was a sauce. Declined the add on to find actual shrimp in the dish. Either way - atmosphere and food were great overall. read more

Party of 7, big order--Cowboy Feast, ribeye, drinks, desserts--the works. Food and vibe were amazing. Had a little accident with steak drippings, but the service was next level. GM came by, offered dry cleaning, and treated us to a dessert tray. That's how you do hospitality. read more

Saw an ad for The Cowgirl Dinner so I rounded up 5 of us to have a Girls Night Out. Food was delicious and each of our steaks cooked to the correct temperature. Victoria was one of the best servers I've had: friendly, attentive and our glasses never went dry. Angel was good assisting during busy dinner hour. We sat on The Porch which is my favorite area as it's a bit brighter and just the right atmosphere for GNO. And I can't end the review without mentioning the phenomenal dessert platter! We were all full but found room for a few bites each of the deliciousness. My favorites were the decadent chocolate cake and dessert filled empanadas. So glad The Ranch's ad caught my attention and made me remember why I need to add them back into rotation. read more

Brought 7 people here the other night tk try again as it was close to hotels and a local spot. The group was not impressed- elk tacos lacked flavor, onion rings were a little undercooked, and steaks lacked flavors. We had strips, ribeyes, and filets. Still a neat space - just food lacks flavors. read more

We are in town for work and was looking for a great dining experience. The Ranch didn't disappoint. Food was delicious and service was wonderful. Lively place with a good vibe. Not terribly noisy though place was busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We started with the Chef's Favorite 4 as an appetizer. Everything was great but the onion rings were amazing! Very good! Two of us had the Redfish - just great- and the other had the Double Cut Pork Chop which was more like a Quadruple Cut because it was HUGE! We left very satisfied and feeling we got very good value. read more

There's a reason The Ranch has survived in its corner while all the other establishments around it has come and go. It's good... I have ordered this multiple times, the meatloaf. I know it's simple but it's so good at The Ranch. Many people order Steaks and they should since it's really good here. The whole cowboy'ish western environment adds to the taste of the food. I thought I would mention they have this Old Fashioned drink called "The Judd". If you order it, they bring out this big wooden barrel contraption and smokes your drink at the table, pretty interesting presentation. read more

The interior, true to the restaurant's name, is designed to evoke the main house of a ranch, with a solid, rustic atmosphere. The staff wear cowboy hats, adding to the full Texas vibe. The menu ranges widely--from Tex‑Mex to steaks, meatloaf, and seafood. The ingredients are high‑quality, and the food is genuinely tasty. The salads and sauces that come on the side have a unique, original flavor you won't find at other restaurants, making you want to come back again. read more

The food, service (Edras was FANTASTIC!!!), and ambiance were PHENOMENAL!!! Food order: Crispy Pork Belly Bites (WONDERFUL!!!) / Grilled Striped Bass / Chicken Fried Steak / Texas Redfish (mine --- GREAT!!!). We got desserts: Chipotle Chocolate Layer Cake and the Pecan Pie. My husband and I were supposed to share the Pecan Pie, but he would stop eating it. I had to tap him to let me get in! We will be back!!! read more
