wow! i loved my burger and fries from the ranch. i feel like you can really taste the quality and care for their ingredients. the burger was great, the bun was fluffy, meat was perfectly flavored and juicy. the fries were good too, i do wish it had more of a punch, some bites you could really taste the meatiness, some were just a hint. read more

Food was good! It's your typical burger place with good fries and drinks. I had the grilled cheese and fries, and my husband had the double burger with cheese curds. Everything was very decent and we'd definitely stop here again. It was really busy when we came in, but our food came out surprisingly quick and the service was good. We sat outside since the weather was perfect, which made it even nicer. Overall, a good casual place to grab a burger and fries if you're passing through Vantage! read more

Burger and shake joint run by a farm. Located in Vantage right by the west end of the I-90 bridge that crosses the Columbia River. Big sign and decent amount of parking. The space is circular with seating near the window and around the center column, with some outside seating on the southeast side facing the bridge and the river. Bright white colored interior. Busy during weekend lunch time, but managed to get one of the small high tables. Order at the counter, and they give you a number. Pretty small menu, mainly a burger, double burger, tallow fries, cheese curds, milkshakes and other soda/drinks. In addition to these, they also sell a little bit of fruit and veggies, plus cuts of beef which you can pay a small charge for them to grill. I got a single ranch burger with fries, and a strawberry milkshake. $20ish in total, so priced like a fast casual place like Shake Shack. Both were brought out pretty quickly. The burger has a smashed patty. Nothing to complain about. Buns were good, ingredients tasted fresh and not overly saucy or greasy. Patty has the nice crisp on the edge and not dry. Overall a good smash burger. The tallow fries were decent didn't taste any different than regular fries. I do like the orange fry sauce they have which you can try, and they also ketchup as well. The strawberry milkshake was good. Consistency is medium, not too solid or sunny, and has bits of strawberry inside. Overall, a nice place to stop for some quick bites while traveling the I-90 in Central Washington. read more

Stopped in Got the single ranch burger and the special which was a double ranch with eggs! Delicious greasy spoon burger- greasy so filling but everything promised from old fashioned fresh cut burger nothing fancy and that's the appeal! Fries- tallow fries delicious fresh cut potato- I prefer crispier but still delicious well seasoned Fruit punch - only down side some herb in there that made it taste like cough syrup- not for me Strawberry shake- delicious real strawberry so the flavor was subtle but legit! Over all nice right off I-90 Spot with a great view of the river- can even cross the street and go eat by the boat ramp! The food is everything you hope for from a greats spoon burger joint! Definitely hits the spot when you're hungry for fresh beef smash burger! 10/10 will stop again! It's not fancy only bout 3 choices- single double and daily special but that's what makes this place good! read more

The Ranch - Original smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Vantage, Washington

This place is phenomenal. Best dang burger and fries I've literally ever had. We pulled up on a Tuesday at 1pm and this place was packed! We walked in and I think we waited like 5 minutes in line and before we even sat down and got some water, our food was headed out to us. The burgers and fries are so flavorful and fresh. The staff were younger kids, and they were so professional and on top of their game. I love that you can buy locally sourced and grown honey or ciders. The restaurant was clean and family friendly. The prices were also amazing. I cannot wait to go back. I just wish I lived closer read more

Very good! Reasonable prices! It's just cheeseburgers or grilled cheese. Fries as well. They cook in beef tallow so no seed oils which is awesome! Side note, the service is very fast! The bathrooms are super clean! They will lettuce wrap your burger. No fountain sodas but you can get a can from Seattle soda company for about $2.79. Water is free and easy to access. Ketchup and fry sauce available as well. They do not have ranch. I can't wait to return. read more

The Ranch - I forgot to take a pic before I started. It was delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Vantage, Washington

10/10 will return again It's a drive from the western part of WA where I live but this place I'm still thinking about. Their burgers where PHENOMINAL!!! Im a big critique for burgers because I make them at home sometimes, but this one blew me away. They also have TALLOW fries! Never have I enjoyed fries so much! I never get them because all other fries taste nasty with their cheap oil, but these I LOVED! I got a milkshake and it was great too. When I went there it was busy but I still got my food at a proper time! There is plenty of parking and it looks over the water and the Vantage Bridge! It's an overall beautiful vibe I got a family owned type vibe from it so I'm more excited to return Unfortunately I didn't get pictures cause I took everything to go so that'll be for next time read more

To begin with, price is very reasonable (for our era)! Two burgers, two fries, and two shakes came to $35!! Not cheap eats but pretty darned affordable!! Next is the place itself! New ones have cleaned it up beautifully, bright, welcoming, and the view is AMAZING!! Now the food. Best smashburger in Washington. Crispy edges, juicy middle, just enough topping to make it I treating and a super soft bun! Hands down best! Fries? Homemade and cooked in tallow. Perfection! Chocolate shakes? Out of this world. Everything was amazing. Not a single thing I'd change! Get in here and get your burger on!! read more

The Ranch - Double burger and tallow fries - Burgers Near Me - Vantage, Washington

Driving back to Seattle from Idaho I stopped by here for me and my boys. Cute spot. Smaller side inside but still plenty of seating. The restaurant and bathroom was kept very clean. Menu is limited with burgers, grilled cheese, steak, and fries. It's just what we wanted. The burgers patties were like smash burgers. It was on the thinner side but that was fine with me! I would opt for a double if you want more of a regular size patty. Lettuce and tomatoes were super fresh. Onions were tasty, slightly overfilled though. Fries were fried in beef tallow were sooo good. Had a lot of flavor! I did get a lemonade which was good but nothing special. I would have wanted to try the steak if I had more time and wanted to spent the money. Overall, good stop and pricing was reasonable. read more

THIS IS WHAT VANTAGE NEEDED!!! Halfway point for most people and I LOVE this place!!! It's clean, modern, sustainable, the employees are ON IT, keeping things moving quickly, keeping the food fresh, the place has great gifts, farm fresh produce and meats, EXCELLENT FOOD cooked in TALLOW, not oil!!! I'm in love. Bathrooms are clean, I wanted one of everything they're selling. A freezer section with beef, homemade pies, shelves with canned goods, a super rad lotion/soap line, hats, etc. Great for families too! NOT YOUR run of the mill food/soda!! GOOD STUFF! Not garbage! Live bees!! Please support this place! The workers are amazing people. read more

The burger is legit! And delicious! Grass fed local beef, house made buns, the lettuce, tomatoes and pickles were pretty good too. You can also get steaks, including the top sirloin for...$15.99lb Fresh Eggs $6 dozen.... tallow fries and housemaid shakes. Pretty Pretty pretty good at this much needed spot in Vantage, not much in the way of ambience or customer service, but the place looks good and a very young staff doing their best, to keep up with the demand and they are succeeding!

The Ranch - Burgers Near Me - Vantage, Washington

Smoking hot or ice cold? I have been twice in the past week. The place is adorable. Cute interior, warm and welcoming. The first visit, I had the most delicious single patty burger. Literally mouth-watering and so fresh and hot. Excellent flavors. The meat perfectly smashed with some crispy bits on the patty. Absolutely delicious. The second visit- which was yesterday- we ordered our food, grabbed napkins and found a seat and were IMMEDIATELY served our burgers. We were both very surprised they could have been cooked freshly that quickly. Like- impossibly fast. We bite into the burgers, not hot. And absolutely no flavor on the meat. None. To be honest- no flavor at all on the burger. I was immediately disappointed as I had talked the place up and we went out of our way to go there. I also got a strawberry shake. It tasted fine. Very thick. Fries BOTH visits needed salt. Badly. (Worth noting 30-40 minutes after we left we had to pull over on our way up the Pass so I could violently throw up the entirety of the milkshake and burger. I think there was something up with the strawberry shake. I have never had an experience like that. I was completely better within three hours so it was definitely the food.) I probably won't be back. Unfortunate. read more

Mary, Becky, Lily, Charles, and I stopped in for lunch today. The single Ranch burger for four of us and a grilled cheese sandwich; fries and shakes and tractor drink. The smash burgers were hot and juicy, cheese melting, fresh ingredients and sauce, fresh toasted bun, delicious. The shakes are made with hard ice cream and milk, whipped on a multi mixer, delicious. The fries are cooked in beef tallow, this provides an exceptional taste to the fries, delicious. The toasted cheese was delicious. Get in here and experience how a burger, fires, shake meal should be! read more

Have heard and read so many great things about the burgers here, so we had to drive out there and try it for ourselves. The service was great. Friendly and welcoming. Within roughly 4 minutes of sitting down our burgers and fries arrived. I was surprised how fast the food came out. Was a little skeptical whether I got a freshly made burger or if it had been cooked prior to ordering and then reheated on the grill. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. The burger was crispy around the edges but could have used more seasoning. It also just didn't have that "hot off the grill" feeling. The fries were under seasoned (if seasoned at all) but I guess that is why there are salt and pepper packets. The fry sauce is fantastic. I had a vanilla shake and it was thick and flavorful. In the end, I left underwhelmed. read more

Their atmosphere was awesome, food was incredible & service was fast! Wait staff were friendly and happy to help! Glad we stopped in! Prices were INCREDIBLE as well! Tallow fries were super good too! The kids liked the grilled cheese but I would maybe get them a cheeseburger next time. The milkshakes & honey sticks were amazing too!! Definitely stop here, you won't regret it! read more

Lemme tell you , this is the freshest juiciest burger, from the good service to the location overlooking the Columbia Riveris on point. The shakes are amazing, but the fries didn't require any ketchup there just right like that read more

We loved every single bite! This quality of food is not easy to find these days. We were so glad we waited to eat here. Best burgers, fries, and milkshake we have ever had from fast food- beats most restaurant food in general. read more

Burgers and milkshakes were delicious! Service was fast and the workers were extremely patient with our large family and chaotic orders. The business was busy and the workers handled everyone with kindness and kept the space clean and checked on every table to make sure they were happy with their orders or needed anything else. Bathrooms were clean and as well maintained as the rest of the restaurant! We will be back! Even our very picky kid could not say enough about the grilled cheese. He was obsessed!! No pic because we ate everything so fast we completely forgot! read more

Terrific food and great service. David took care of us well. We always try to eat here when in Vantage WA. Also beautiful view of Columbia River. It's the only place to eat in town but fortunately it's really good! read more

5 stars all day and the day after. Stopped through while exploring. It had been 20 years since my previous stop for a burger here. Back then it was quite a different place and greasy spoon was definitely an appropriate term for that. Glad to see this fresh new place here. We got 3 burgers and shakes. I was blown away by the quality here. The bun was some home made affair that was delicious. The beef patties were fantastic. The fixings were excellent. The fries were almost as good as the burger. The shakes were simply durn good. This restaurant is staffed by young people from Royal City and they are doing a great job. I recommend stopping here each time you pass through Vantage. I would skip Moses Lake and Ellensburg and just stop here. Nothing to regret. read more

Stop here if you can. It's an absolute institution and such great quality cuts of meat. I loved it and it was a last minute find.

The Ranch - Single ranch cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Vantage, Washington

Have been driving by this building off and on for 20+ years of my life as we've driven across the state. I've had a couple bleh meals over the years at the other restaurants in the space. Never intended to visit this building again. Extremely impressed with the latest restaurant iteration to occupy the space, though. Drove significantly out of the way to try it. The Ranch is all that they advertise themselves as and more. Farm-to-table. (Literally their farm. Your table.) Food was fresh, well-priced, and delicious. Place was packed on the two separate instances we went. Consistently delicious on both occasions a week apart from each other. Young, high school kids working the counter and grills. Refreshing to see. Kids, families, and travelers, alike, all there for great food. Burgers look great and are really fairly priced. Haven't had the chance to try them yet, but looking forward to doing so on my next drive by. Beef tallow fries and the fry sauce are 10/10. Rib-eye was good and tasted as if it was a slab of beef cut off a cow and cooked up by a rancher. Tasted a little like a burger grill and was overcooked for the rare I ordered (more like medium or medium-well). 6-7/10. That was consistently the same when I came back a week later with a coworker and they ordered that. That next time in, got the filet also rare. Came out more medium. Tasted like a significantly better steak. I didn't mind the overcooking. 8/10. Not a steakhouse, but kids cooking up burgers (and ranch-fresh steaks) on a flat-top. As long as that's your expectation, hard to beat the place at the price. Probs won't find a better mid-way spot off I-90 between the two sides of the state. Really enjoyable. Can't beat this place for what it is. Really looking forward to our next stop. read more

Stopped here again and it was every bit as delicious as the first time. Staff was friendly and service was fast.

I've stopped here a couple of times right after they opened and thought it was really good. I stopped again yesterday and came away wanting better. The burger, a smash burger, was crunchy on the edges and overall the burger was pretty flavorless. I guess I don't remember them being smash burgers in the beginning. Fries are good. On another note, the place continues to be clean and friendly and the view is great. As for the burgers, I may not stop again. My experience is that the smash burger fad, which I hope it is, doesn't provide a nice, juicy burger like I'm looking for. read more
