Came here on a last minute Friday night plan and honestly, the vibes did not disappoint. Right from the start, we were welcomed by a friendly security guard at the entrance, which set the tone. Ladies, just a heads up, they do check your purses before entry, and there's a $10 cover per person. I highly recommend getting a table if you can. There's a minimum spend. For us, it was $125 for food and drinks, but it's worth it to have a spot to sit, relax, and actually enjoy the band and the view of the dance floor without hovering around. The live band was so much fun. Everyone was out there line dancing to both country and pop songs, and the energy was contagious. Even if you don't know the dances, it's still a blast to watch and soak in the positive high energy crowd. Next time, I'm definitely coming earlier to learn a few moves and fully join in. They have two food menus plus a drink menu. Food wise, it was decent. I ordered the ranch steak burger (cooked medium) with fries, and it was a good solid choice. The warm campfire chocolate cookie with vanilla ice cream was a nice sweet treat to end the night. Service is where this place really shines. From the security to the staff to even the guests, everyone was incredibly welcoming. You can tell there are a lot of regulars, and it creates this friendly, almost community like atmosphere. Our waitress (I didn't catch her name) was amazing. She was super attentive, constantly checking in, clearing the table, chatting with us, and just giving off the warmest energy while still being quick and efficient. Overall, the people truly make this place. Great music, fun crowd, and an all around good time. Already looking forward to coming back. Next time with better planning and maybe a few line dance moves ready read more

Great place to line dance ! You cant learn here apparently, my friend tried jumping in to dance but they got him out the stage so you have to know what your doing. Haven't Tried the food yet but the plates did look good. Bartenders aren't too friendly here. I came twice and both times had a bad experience with the bartenders. But overall it's a good place to have some drinks. read more

Place used to be amazing great vibes and awesome DJ staff all felt like family. Then a new generation came in treating it like their personal do whatever dance hall piggy bank. I may not be totally familiar with every rule but I don't think at any point or time should a 12 year old child be dancing in a bar that is carding for 21+ and over at the front. They delete bad comments or simply block the ones from social media. Stand up and have a spine. Let your customer voices be heard. read more

$10 cover fee for a full night of line dancing on Thursday (advanced night but all still welcome), Friday (live band), and Saturdays (live band)! Dance lessons at 6:30 & 7:30pm. Best part is that you can request songs, so if you only know 5 songs so far like me, come early to write them on the list so that you're not just sitting on the sideline all night. The bar & food are pretty darn good. Solid nachos and french fries def good munchies while you're drinking and waiting for your next song! We reserved a table for a birthday on a Saturday, had to spend at least $350 for the booth. The food food was really good though, my favorites were the scallops. Cocktails and shots were served throughout the night, plus the booth had prime seating watching the dance floor. Overall a great place to celebrate! read more

Racist place. Got recommended by our server to go check it out. If you dont know how to dance to their music you get kicked out of their dance floor. 2 different security guards kicked my friends out of the dance floor. Talked to a manager that defended them because of "freestyling". Be a pro if you plan to come here or get the boot. To top it all off, get stalked outside by security for voicing our opinon until the uber picked us up. Just have a sign outside that says whites only. I really wish i could get my money back at the ranch for their racist behavior, $600 to be treated like shhhh... I will say that the server was actually a nice dude though. Just dont tell people to go next door. Hispanos no vengan, che lugar clero. read more

4 star for the dancing and 2 stars for the food. We made reservations for a 40th birthday. We've eaten at the restaurant side and have always had a good experience. Our server was great and we had no issues there. We participated in the 6:30 dance lesson which was lots of fun but very crowded. The food was very disappointing. Everything we ordered from the bar menu was so bad and very overpriced for the quality. The chicken wings were tiny, the nachos were lacking toppings and the steak was more like ground beef, the grilled yellowtail tacos were lacking flavor. Anything we ordered off the restaurant menu was the quality we expected, except the lobster Mac and cheese only had flake of lobster. When we have ordered it in the past it had large chucks. Next time I think we will skip out on the ranch for special occasions and find somewhere with better quality food. read more

Full menu at Saloon tables and booths. Waitress and food runners really top notch. Full menu from Restaurant and also a bar menu too. Arrived at 6 pm for line dancing lessons on 3 step cha cha cha 6:30 and 7:15 another dance lesson. 8 pm live band played excellent tunes. Dance floor lively with female youngsters and older gentlemen guiding them during two step dances. Majority of the ladies knew the complicated steps. I should have paid more attention to footloose dance steps, my last dance lesson adventure. Even though I didn't make it out to the floor that often, I very much enjoyed watching and vibing with the other voyeurs. Food- excellent- 150$ minimum for our two top table. Beers on tap cold and crisp. Scarlet O Hara's with juicy limes. Parking lot free and large unless you want valet 8$. Next time, I will order a heavier dish, since I did not realize we get to keep the table the whole night! Felt safe and secure from walking from the parking lot, in the saloon, & leaving- no crazy hands or remarks- all gentlemen inside there. Maybe because it's an older crowd and people seemed to know each other- the booths, tables, stuck to themselves and their own guests. That being said- bring your own possé and enjoy the views. If you want a more aggressive crowd, head to stampede by Temecula- my other spot after the wineries' delights are partaken. I will be back, maybe I'll even get rhinestone cowboy boots. Attire- boots, jeans, corset tops, Tatoo, long hair if female. Some ladies had flutter sleeve v neck tops with flirty swinging skirts. All ages of females- from 20's to 70's and all very agile and mobile. Males: jeans, boots, button down shirts. Some had t shirts and gym shoes. Some looked like ranchers w belt buckles, Stetson hats, lived in but nice clean boots. Older souls, meaning not too many people had their cell phones out and staring downward. All eyes were up and enjoying the band, line dancers, and each other. I need some more friends to bring with me, but I will definitely come back for round 3. This was my second time here, first time as the primary instigator. Last time, someone else planned it and we had a booth. Both times 5 stars. You can walk in and reserve a table or advance reservation. read more

Let me preface this review by first stating I've never heard of "The Ranch", didn't know it existed, and obviously have never been there before. We were in the area and some friends invited us to "The Ranch". My husband was concerned because he was in shorts and we were informed there were "a lot of rules". We decided to give it a try anyway to catch up with our friends. Getting in was no problem. You're asked if you want to go to the saloon or the restaurant. We wanted the saloon. Security checked my bag, let us in, paid the $15 each cover charge and we found our friends. Unbeknownst to me, there was a group of 30 of us in rows of bar tables with 3 seats at each. It looked kinda weird to have only 3 stools at each table but I didn't try to think too much about it even though my husband and I couldn't sit together. Not long after I sat down, I found out the tables have to be reserved with a $100 minimum per table. You are not allowed to move the bar stools around and must keep only 3 at each table. Since there were so many of us, we were standing at some of the tables to meet some of the people we didn't know in the group when we were asked by security to "sit down". How old are we? I paid to come in here to be told like a child to sit down? I was over it. Don't get me wrong, the place is well done. But don't plan on relaxing and enjoying yourself because you will be told where to sit, how much to spend, and probably when to use the bathroom. To boot, the service was terrible. I will never step foot in here again unless there is a full restructuring. After returning home, I read the other reviews and realized I'm not the only one. Do not patronize this place! They don't deserve your hard earned money. read more

This place is great for beginner dancers. The drinks and service were great and the atmosphere was on point.

We always have a great time here! Staff is great, food and drinks are delicious!! Best Long Island Iced Tea I've ever had! Vibe is so enjoyable- looking forward to returning! read more

Went for the first time and their management is horrible. The place was empty and they still don't allow you to sit at the tables. We reserved a bar table which had 5 seats and a minimum of 250.00 in liquor and food. If you have a larger party they can't stand by you at the table. They have ridiculous amount of rules no wonder the place is empty. Some of the employees told us the owner is rude to them, doesn't care and fires employees left and right. read more

I used to be big on country music and line dancing, 10+ years ago, and my Mom still is, so we go here when she's convinced she wants to go. From now on, I'll pass and have her go by herself. First of all, the line dancing is now largely techno-country and new dances. Even if you request older songs or dances, they don't play them. They're catering to their 20something college crowd and regulars in a BIG way. The bar was pretty empty for a Thursday night, which we chose to celebrate my birthday. Plenty of tables open that you CAN'T sit at, unless you meet their $300 table minimum. Super fun when I told the bartender it was my birthday, he said it was his, too, and asked how old I was turning. I was honest - 36 - and he said 'getting up there' and when my Mom tried to laugh it off and say I was still young, he doubled down on how old I was getting. Keep in mind - homeboy is turning 50. The night just continuously got worse. We had to flag down a barback or this rude bartender for every single drink, refill, food order, etc. I had to quite literally elbow some drunk college kids off of me, because they were there to celebrate his birthday as their favorite bartender, and kept trying to take our seats, despite the drinks being there and half our party ALSO still sitting. He was there to just give them shots and flirt with college girls; ew. Between this visit, past visits where they patted down the hispanics in our group (both male or female) but no one else, and the overall snobby uppity attitude of the staff and patrons - hard pass. I'll go drop a few hundred literally anywhere else. read more

Parking. I was denied the closer handicap parking space because they use it for people to turn around. I was forced to walk farther. Once inside, no where available to sit to eat dinner except a roll up bar. Tons of tables, but not for me. Waitress is amazing. she is only bright spot of night. Thank you, Brooklyn! read more

1 of the worst places I've been for country music. We've been to many country music saloons, and coming from Texas, this has to be the worst saloon. Even on a Saturday night, $15 charge at door, for a band, that even played line dancing music. What happened to normal 2 step dancing. Every single song was a line dance. Would recommend new dj, and not someone that'll line dance out of the dj booth, and someone that plays better music. Your saloon only had about 25 people. Very sad. read more

A fun place for Line Dancing. They give 2 free lessons at 6:30pm and 7:30pm which are quick but fun (basic knowledge of dance steps help). Limited areas to sit without a reservation. 2 full bars. Security and staff throughout. Most people know every dance just by knowing the song title. That's amazing! Live bands on certain nights so check the event page of their website. They have family day on Sunday to bring your kids. Cover charge - $10 read more

Such a fun atmosphere. Everyone is so nice. I did not order any food but a friend had ordered the nachos and said they were really good.

Crowded. Overpriced. Nowhere to sit. The restaurant next door actually serves really good food and since we ate there, we got in for free. I would not be happy to pay to get in. I'm too old for all that. If you want table or sit, you have to pay for that too. Even then, there wasn't much space to stand. We didn't stay long. read more

Seriously, get a DJ, a band rotation, and most importantly an entertainment director that knows what a decent two step is. Ever since pre-COVID Wednesdays you folks have lost your direction. Polkas are NOT two steps. read more

My girlfriend and I, a respectful Christian couple, had a terrible experience at The Ranch Saloon that left us hurt, angry, and disgusted. We were so excited to come here for a fun night out, and even more excited to return next month for our anniversary on August 14th, which happens to land on their 18+ night. We were even seriously considering having our wedding reception here someday. Not anymore. We drove over an hour to get there, paid $35 to get in, ordered fries, and my girlfriend (who is 21) got one drink. In total, we spent over $50. Then out of nowhere, security accused me of rubbing off my Sharpie X's, which I did not do. I followed the rules, but we were still kicked out without a single chance to explain ourselves. No refund, no courtesy, just treated like we didn't matter. To make things even worse, my girlfriend has Celiac disease, and our fries came with breaded chicken chunks mixed in. That's a serious health risk for someone with a gluten allergy, and now she'll probably be sick. What really pushed this over the edge was how disrespectful the staff was. I was told multiple times by one of them that "he is not here to babysit me," which is an extremely rude and unprofessional thing to say to a paying customer especially when I hadn't done anything wrong. We had looked forward to coming back here. Now, we will never step foot in The Ranch again. The way we were treated was completely unfair, unprofessional, and disappointing. This place does not deserve your business, not when they treat paying customers like this. read more

Our company rented out The Ranch Saloon for our annual Christmas Party, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The venue itself is gorgeous--festive, warm, and perfectly suited for a country holiday celebration. The service, food, and staff were all excellent. The team was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire event. Guests consistently commented on how great the food was and how friendly the staff were. From an event-planning perspective, The Ranch was also very easy to work with. The band and DJ were both referred by The Ranch, so they were familiar with the venue, which made a huge difference and allowed the night to flow effortlessly. The only minor drawbacks were that buyouts are limited to Monday-Wednesday, which may not work for all companies, and the stage access was a bit challenging, especially since we were presenting company awards. That said, these were small considerations in an otherwise fantastic experience. Overall, The Ranch Saloon is a beautiful, well-run venue with exceptional staff, and we would absolutely recommend it for corporate events or large celebrations. read more

This place is great. I love line dancing and didn't know such a club exists. It was my first time here. We got in for free cause we ate at the Ranch Restaurant next door. Regular coverage fee is $10/person. The sound walls are great cause you can't hear any of the loud music at the restaurant next door. They had tables and bar seating. You can't sit at the tables unless you order food and might have a minimum spending but not sure, since we didn't inquire. We sat at the bar seats along the walls. Apparently, their burgers are great but we didn't' get a chance to try since we just finished dinner. Will definitely come back to try the burgers. It was packed on a Saturday night. They had a live band playing country music and almost everyone knew all the dance moves on the dance floor. It was a bit intimidating but fun to watch. We were asking around and apparently they offer dance lessons at 6:30pm every Thursday to Sunday. So I plan on coming back for some dance lessons. You can probably also youtube for the dance moves and practice at home. LOL After the band finished for the night, they had a DJ playing dance music. Some were also choreographed. We stayed for about an hour. At the end, they played a few songs that I knew the dance moves for so I joined in! I will definitely be back. We didn't receive any service but security was nice and so was the check in staff up front. Valet parking or free self parking. read more

THE RANCH Saloon - Dancing - Country Dance Halls Near Me - Anaheim, California

I had heard about this place but have never been before.... Until a friend of mine invited us out to go here for her birthday last weekend. It looks like nothing from the outside but then you walk in and BAM! A huge area with a big dance floor, stage for live musical performances, several tables and 2 bars. I LOVE me some country music so I was in heaven and enjoying it very much! There were a lot of people out on the dance floor line dancing, it made for some good people watching. I didn't get out there but maybe next time. ;-) Nachos were ordered for the table, they were good. My husband especially liked the chicken on them. We shared the french dip which was great. The cocktails were good. I took off 1 star for the service. It wasn't amazing and the girl was quite slow at times... it took her a good 10 minutes (if not longer) to come back with an answer to a simple question I asked. I would definitely go back! read more

All of the food and drinks were tasty. The waitress' were very attentive always making sure we were good.

The Ranch Saloon is my favorite place to dance in Orange County!! I've been going here for the last three years and last weekend was my second birthday I celebrated there. The staff were so kind, courteous, and helpful with set up and also throughout the evening. Michael, our waiter, was awesome and made sure everyone had everything they needed. My friends were able to dance the night away and enjoy themselves! Donny made our drinks and they were stellar! Food was great, music was Brad Johnson and the Killin Time Band (the best country band!) - just an incredible time! I highly recommend making this your spot for any night you want to dance, have great drinks, and enjoy some great music! read more

It's actually crazy to me that we were doing the CORRECT line dance to a song and the whole ass security guard came over to take us off the dance floor because it's not their "house version" to the specific dance. WTF. My family and I are avid line dancers, my sister is a line dance INSTRUCTOR at the bar we go to every week! They do the WRONG dance and then embarrass us and kick us off the dance floor?! DO NOT come here if you don't know how to line dance. They don't welcome you. THEN the entertainment manager Heather was then informed about the embarrassing and rude behavior of the security guard, and was rude AF herself. DONT come here to have a good time, come here if you want to follow very specific rules like a drill sergeant. Photo as proof that I WAS at this joke of an establishment. THREE other patrons of the establishment came up to us following this incident and asked what happened, when we told them they agreed that was absolutely ridiculous. read more

I went to the ranch years ago and had a great time. Fast forward to now and the experience has shifted. The security staff was friendly and so were the staff who were bussing the tables. The bartender was also very kind and took care of us right away. We were a party of 8 who arrived without a reservation (arrived separately). Make a reservation if you plan on attending the Ranch. It will make your life much easier. There is a minimum amount per person. Inquire with the staff for pricing. Open seating is extremely limited. We asked a hostess if we could get a table. We were told there would be a $400 minimum and she wasn't sure if there were any tables available. Okay. We understood because it was last minute. The hostess showed us a counter area in the back where we could sit or sit at the bar. Got it. We were at the bar. We all decided that we would like a table with the $400 minimum. It's not bad considering there were 8 of us and we were going to order drinks and food. The hostess took about 15 minutes to check of there was a table available. That was great! Our party was seperated at three seperate tables because we were told that they could not put the tables together. We were also told that we could not stand around and needed to remain seated for the most part. Got it! We stood up on occasion to get food from our other tables and take some pics. The music was good, the bad was great and we were having a great time until..... A group of 5 people arrived. The hostess put the tables together ( we were told they couldn't). They were standing around blocking our view. Nothing was said to them. We ended up paying our bill and leaving because we no longer had a view. Not a fan of the Ranch. read more

Came here with my friend for their Thursday night dance nights. We arrive around 9pm after any lessons so there was just line dancing and two step. I've gone to country bars in Northern California before and I liked this one because of the clear dance floor and seating room area around it. Usually there were about 3-5 line dance songs played and then about 3 two step songs and these blocks of dancing switched off back and forth throughout the night. Not all the line dances were country songs but there was a nice mix of improver and advanced that kept us on our toes. I probably only recognized about 1/3 of the dances but was able to pick up a good amount on the floor. The two step was fun too with some people choosing to do swing in the middle. They had water cups and pitchers of water available. Given that the Ranch is also a restaurant, there ended up being some overlap with the restaurant attendees and dancers. This also increased the average age. Overall was a fun night!! read more

We had my wife's and sister-in-law's birthday party at The Ranch Saloon. About 160 people attended and everyone was amazed at how perfect the venue, food and service was. The whole night was amazing. Alyson Carpenter, the Event Sales Manager, was incredible. She was a tremendous help from start to finish. read more

Alfredo the manager is an asshole. RUDE, intimidating, condescending and quite frankly makes no sense with his "rules". Celebrated a birthday here at a table- met the minimum and spend 500 dollars- great all is wonderful. Wanted to close out because 2 people had to leave, and 2 more people were joining- he told us no. It has to be the original 6 people in the party- WHAT! That literally makes zero sense! He wouldn't give us his name until we left. He has terrible customer service- and should not be a manager. The security here is overbearing and very strange considering there is not much going on. Will not be coming back- save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Zero stars if possible. Watched security remove multiple couples off the dance floor for doing the correct dances. Like they know anything about line dancing. While you dance there is security all the way around the room staring at you talking on their radios. I'm all for a secure safe place. But this is too aggressive. Don't come here. If you like having a fun night not the place. You will for sure stand in the wrong place or sit in the wrong place and get singled out. They will even single you out with a flashlight pointed right at your face. Imagine how it would feel to get blindsided by a bright led flashlight in the face in a darker environment. Hope they never do it to someone with epilepsy. Even had them take a girl off the dance floor due to her shoes....to then sell her a set of boots. Go to Cowboy Country in Long Beach instead. Way better vibe and people. So much for giving this place a try. read more

Our journey from the city took nearly 2 hours, but as I continue to explore Los Angeles, I'm becoming accustomed to the idea that reaching any destination here often requires more than an hour. Eager to introduce our European friend to the Westside canty-style "Saloon" experience, we decided to go there Finding the location was a breeze, thanks to clear signage, ample parking, and a striking building reminiscent of an old theater with its ornate front doors. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted and swiftly seated at an excellent table for three, despite not having made a reservation. From the moment we stepped inside, the service exceeded our expectations. The staff assisted us with the menu and drink choices while sharing captivating stories about the place. Unfortunately, the "Saloon" hall was closed during our visit, as it turns out they operate on a schedule, which was my oversight. However, the main restaurant hall was stunning, well-kept, and oozing with style. The menu offered a delightful mix of familiar dishes and intriguing options. Each one of us ordered a different steak, complemented by a shared starter. To say that the food was delicious would be an understatement. The steaks were prepared to perfection, and they easily rank among the best I've had in the United States to date. It's worth noting that while the prices are on the higher end, with our bill totaling around $600 for three people, and only one cocktail consumed, the exceptional service and the overall dining experience more than justified the cost. P.S. We also got visit of the "Saloon" section, which only adds to the allure of this restaurant. read more

This place is going down hill fast. They have more rules than a board game. So they wanted a min spend for a table, no problem... after they sat us I saw there was a lot of empty stools and table in the back but the host told us that this was the only table left and the place is full ... We can't stand in front of our table... the place is not that busy but ok, maybe it's a safety issue... We can't have more than 6 in our booth that we are over paying for and clearly fits the 7 we have and still comfortably... uh ok we will make sure some of us are always dancing.... I had to leave early and wanted to pay my items and the birthday person's items... they said they can't spilt even one tab... I call more BS I've been here many times and there was never an issue It seems they are just lazy and enforcing rules that aren't needed. There are a lot of places that appreciate your business, go elsewhere. read more

Haven't been to the Ranch in a while but went anticipating country line dancing but it was more just line dancing to pop songs. So to start disappointed with the music selection and the dance floor is small. The atmosphere is not the friendliest when relearning or learning the dances. Food was good but pricy; our waitress kept pushing a $62 ceviche. Will go try cowboy country again when I'm wanting to go dancing. read more
