Had the pleasure of dining here twice last week and the bar staff never disappoints. We always have the best bartenders and fantastic service. The food was great one evening. I had the shrimp scampi which came out probably the best I've ever had. There were so much shrimp and it came out hot and it was delicious. Was back again on Friday and had a salad and part of my best friend's burger and fries. It was just enough food to hit the spot and the drinks were delicious. I love their wine selection as well. If you're looking to splurge, I totally recommend ordering a bottle of The Setting, it is worth every penny! Steve is a phenomenal manager and always comes by to say hello and make sure we're having the best experience. We love supporting Yo Ranch! read more

Food...10s across the board! Our party of 7 all had amazing meals. The stuffed bread and goat cheese and honey appetizers are incredible! I had the Nebraska Rib-eye, loaded baked potato, and creamed spinach. All fantastic! We topped our meal off with 1 slice of their award winning chocolate cake. It was perfect to share amongst the seven of us as it was quite rich. Our server, Gia, was fabulous and took awesome care of us. Now this place is pricey, but a perfect special occasion place. We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Gia! You rock! read more

Had a father daughter dinner. She had the NY steak and I had the ribs. Both were excellent. I had a salad and a giant baked potato. Had to take the ribs home. Service was excellent. Young man with a trainer. His first night. Did a great job. Look forward to going back. The restaurant itself is huge and well laid out. Not too noisy. Price was certainly in line with the food and service we received. read more

I have been here on occasion but do not come very often. My mother wanted to eat here for her birthday. We were a party of eight and just heads up for reservations of eight people or more you will have to provide your credit card information and if you failed to show up or cancel last minute, you'll be charged $50 per person in the party. The booths are very roomy, and we all fit comfortably. All of the cocktails were deliciously made, and well balanced. As far as food, there are no complaints from any of us. I can't go wrong with the pistachio crusted calamari steak. I sampled the tri-tip sandwich , french fries and brussels sprouts and Cobb salad. Everything was on point. Service was also great and I feel like for what we spent, It was a good value. read more

I came here on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday with a reservation. But apparently they messed up the reservation and thought it was under someone else? We had it for 5pm but we didn't get seated till 5:30-5:45pm. The restaurant was nice with a little fire pit in the waiting area. We had a group of 7 people and our server Zach was very nice. He took our orders right away. The drinks and appetizers came out first. However, it took a very long time for us to get our entrees. Even our server had to come to our table to apologize for the delay. I understand it was busy but we sat there for a long time. We didn't leave till 7-7:30pm. Even getting our water refilled took a while too. They were nice enough to let us put our birthday cake in their fridge for us and bring out a lighter to light the candle, plates and utensils. When we finally got our food it was delicious. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars but because of how long we were in there and the confusion on the reservation I gave it a 3. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday and they had messed up on the reservation for 7 people, they then had to squeeze us into a booth with a chair at the end to make up for it some time later. Not great. Service was great, our waters were constantly filled by our server without asking. Food took a very long time to come out, even the server had to come by and apologize to us about the wait time. After about 30-45 mins, the food was impressive. I got the calamari steak and it was delicious and cooked to the right tenderness. Inside is very dim but stays busy overall. Good for hanging out or a date night spot. Would like to try other items on the menu read more

Came here for my sisters birthday. The kiwi coconut drink was yummy and not strong taste wise which I liked. My sister on the other hand wasn't expecting so much ginger in her mocktail so she couldn't finish it was spicy lol. Food was good I just wish the potatoes were warmer but it was on a busy Saturday. The Mac n cheese was hot so maybe they were waiting for that while the other plates were ready. Our waitress was so lovely she treated us so well like she had known us so sad I didn't get her name. Super sweet brunette with chest tattoos. I also liked how they were playing the World Cup game it wasn't too rowdy or loud. Perfect b day or dinner date spot! read more

My friend and I stopped here for dinner and it was her first time. After checking in for our reservation we were seated within 10 minutes which wasn't too bad considering how busy it was on a Saturday. I highly recommend getting reservations at least a few days to a week in advance since the book up quickly. We sat in the bar area which was slightly loud but not too bad. We were still able to have conversations without feeling like we're shouting. Our waitress was very kind and was patient with us while we looked over the menu. I ended up getting the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. It was so flavorful and not dry at all. The mashed potatoes were delicious. For dessert we got crème brûlée and bread pudding with the ice cream on the side. Everything tasted amazing. read more

Lively place with a long wait time, making a reservation helps. The vibe is dark and cozy. Staff is kind and informative. Floors are a bit hard to walk on so if wearing heels be cautious. As for what i ordered Shrimp linguine - 6 out of 10, flavor is very subtle and I'm used to more flavor. For the price you do get a decent amount of pasta. Brussels sprouts - 10 out of 10, can't deny they are delicious Fries - 8 out of 10, these are tasty it seems like they are different each time I go but they are good enough Lemon drop - is perfect not that strong or sweet, can easily have too much of these Overall i think this is a good choice when it comes to finding a place to have drinks and apps at ! read more

Went here to celebrate mine and my wife's anniversary and it did not disappoint! From start to finish we had a great experience at Yosemite Ranch! First off, the service was excellent! Our waiter Carlos was very helpful, attentive, made great recommendations, and very hospitable. Thank you Carlos for your service and help that night!!! The food! Oh man where to start! The first recommendation was the yellow tail sashimi plate. Outstanding!!! Full of flavor, and portioning was perfect. Highly recommend! Our entrees were very tasty as well. The food was full of balanced flavors, cooked to perfection, and generous portions. The Chicago style was a flavorful hot rosemary butter that the prime sat in. Came out on a sizzling plate and probably one of the best cuts of prime rib I ever had. Highly highly recommend! The salmon was so good as well. Cooked perfectly and the sides of rice pilaf and mashed potatoes were knockout! The restaurant itself is gorgeous! Very classy yet relaxed vibes happening there. Perfect for a more dressed up date night or even a business casual. Perfect for large groups, plenty of parking, you can make reservations a head of time like we did which I would recommend being this place gets busy. I will absolutely be back. Thank you the service team and staff who helped make our anniversary dinner a special one to remember. read more

Another great dinner at YoRanch. Payton excelled. The manager stopped by our table. Great staff.

Yosemite Ranch is a nice restaurant. The interior is simple with a touch of elegance and class but still comfortable and not snobby feeling. We were promptly helped by the hostesses who were warm and friendly. Our server was friendly and efficient but service did feel a bit rushed as she would start walking away before we even finished answering her questions and the bill was dropped at the same time as the dessert among other things. Food was just ok and it took quite a long time to come to the table despite it not being that busy. The steak was disappointing as I had ordered it medium rare and it was served well done and dry. Overall just an ok restaurant but in all honesty it won't be a regular spot for us.

Have you ever been on a first date where everything went perfect, and you start to feel like this person may be the one? However, on the second date , you start to notice some red flags and you need a third date to make the final determination if you are going to invest more into the relationship or keep looking for someone new. No? Ok , maybe it's just me. I just had my third date with Yosemite Ranch , and I am thinking of breaking it off. It's not you Yosemite Ranch - it's me. For a 50.00 entree , I have higher expectations. My tiny little filet mignon tasted ok , but it wasn't worth 50.00 . In fact , I would have a hard time paying more than 29.99 . Here is a trick, put these mini steaks on a smaller plate and you can trick your customers. Add in the fact that they provide you a small dollop of mashed potatoes as a side dish- and we have a problem. Too much negative space on my plate Yosemite Ranch- (see picture below). To put this in perspective, my 14 year old son said he had a better filet mignon at The Cheesecake Factory. Now , that is saying something. When a steakhouse gets outperformed by a chain restaurant- that is a red flag. I like the vibe of this place. It is always busy, loud and has a really nice dining room . But the portions have seemed to dwindle, and the price point has gone up. I think this is goodbye for now Yosemite Ranch. I like you and it's not personal., but I think we both need to see other people. read more

First time going to Yosemite Ranch and we had high hopes but those were dashed when we were served hard stale rolls and subsequently my wife was served a lukewarm burger and cold fries. I ordered the prime rib which was dry and thankfully they serve sauce with it otherwise I wouldn't have been able to swallow it down. No flavor to the meat. Very disappointing experience. Service was okay, nothing exceptional. read more

Highly recommend. Everything was delicious! This place is great for large groups, work meetings, and even events. We were seated at the time of our reservation and were able to carry our drinks from the bar to the table. We started with the stuffed bread which was very large and soft, definitely need to share and we probably could have skipped to save room for more (but, there's nothing wrong with leftovers). You can choose your steak enhancements and we went with Chicago style, which was baked in butter and very delicious! Nice and tender filet. The sides of peas were del ious and had a nice seasoning with a bit of a spicy kick. Both the seasonal blackberry butter cake and bread pudding were delicious. read more

This is truly one of our favorite date night restaurants in town! It's fairly easy to get a reservation and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. I love the pecan crusted pork chop and my husband's absolute favorite is the ranch steak (always go Chicago style!). Dave's VIP is a fantastic cocktail as well. We've been here many times and I can't think of a time we had a bad experience. They renovated back around 2020 and has a modern atmosphere. Parking is free and fairly easy to grab, unless you're visiting during peak times. There's really not a place you could sit that isn't comfortable and inviting. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

We came here without reservations for dinner on a Friday night. We got here right when they opened at 4 pm, which I think is definitely needed if you don't have reservations. The restaurant got pretty packed around 5 pm, so if you are trying to have dinner on a weekend night then you definitely need to have reservations. We ordered the firecracker shrimp , wild mexican prawn cocktail, house stuffed bread, rib eye ( cooked rare), prime rib ( med rare), and butter cake. The firecracker shrimp were a pass, the dish looked good but the taste was mediocre, the lettuce part was really oily and not that tasty. The prawn cocktail was also pretty basic, large prawns on ice. The house stuffed bread was amazing, served hot and super garlicky with tons of butter and so moist. My rib eye was cooked perfectly, whenever I order steaks I feel like most places overcook the steak a little but mine was a perfect blue, still slightly cool on the inside. The prime rib was also really moist and juicy. The butter cake wasn't as good as other butter cakes I have had ( mastros still has the best butter cake I've ever tried). I think this is a great place to come for drinks / people watch before dinner / to have a nice dinner with friends and family. Theres a really nice fire pit in the front that sets the vibe for the restaurant. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with high ceilings and warm, low lighting that feels very inviting. My initial impression was that it's a happy, lively place, even on a weekday the bar area was crowded and conversations were loud. The waitress was quick to take my order and extremely friendly, which I appreciated. This is not the place for a quiet, romantic date: the tables are very close together, and I could clearly hear everything the guests next to me were saying. I ordered a cocktail and a filet mignon with a side of risotto. Because the bar was busy, my cocktail didn't arrive until after my food. The filet, ordered rare, was unfortunately dry and disappointing; the risotto, however, was well-prepared and tasty. Overall, great atmosphere and attentive service, decent side dish, but not ideal for an intimate evening and the main course I had fell short. I'd recommend it for a lively night out, but choose your entree carefully. read more

My boyfriend and I came to Yosemite Ranch tonight for Valentine's Day and had such a great experience. We arrived around 7:00 pm and relaxed in the car while we waited, and right on time at 7:40 we got a text that our table was ready. We were greeted right away and quickly taken to our seats. Our waiter was friendly and attentive throughout the night. We started with the pull-apart stuffed house bread and the firecracker shrimp, and they were so good we completely forgot to take pictures! We also split the BLT wedge salad, which was delicious. For my main course, I ordered the New York strip and shrimp cooked medium, with a baked sweet yam topped with butter and brown sugar -- everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My boyfriend ordered a steak with mac & cheese, and he loved his meal too. Service was quick, the staff was attentive, and the food really impressed us. Overall, I'd give the experience a 9/10 and we'll definitely be coming back. read more

I had my 20th birthday dinner here. Ive also been here numerous times before. The environment can get pretty loud that at times I can't hear my conversation but the environment is pretty compact and settling. The service didn't blow me away but it wasn't awful. In terms of service it met my standards and a bit more because of how friendly staff can be. I would give this 5 stars but unfortunately for the times I went I couldn't hear a conversation and it was something that bothered me. read more

I had an unfortunate experience at this restaurant awhile back when I slipped and fell during my visit. None of the staff members helped me or checked on me. I'm thankful to the few good Samaritans who stepped in to tend to me. No one from the restaurant ever reached out to check on me after giving them my contact info. I emailed the general manager the following week to inform him of the incident and get a copy of the report for my records. He apologized and stated he wanted to call me to discuss what had happened. I gave him my availability to which he responded that "our schedules are conflicting" so he would not be calling me to discuss. Instead he offered me a gift card. I never bothered responding. The lack of empathy was definitely disappointing. Not the kind of response I expected. read more

That line is intimidating because it stretches out the door to the back patio, but from there it's just about 35 minutes til your seated after you order your food. You see, this isn't a typical wait-to-be-seated style restaurant, you will wait in line before you order, then you will be shown to your table where your food will come to greet you with an aroma of farm-to-table that assaults your senses such that you forgot the wait. That tenderloin was like ultimate prime rib, great flavor, tenderness and easy to cut, and the chicken was a bastion of flavor that takes you straight to Tuscany. read more

We went out recently for a date night & really enjoyed Yosemite Ranch. The waiting area was big & cozy, we felt welcomed and waited for our reservation. Staff is AMAZING. They are welcoming , caring, easy to talk to but yet professional and attentive. They made us feel so taken care of & not in a forceful way. For drinks: I tried the spicy peach margarita, definitely had a kick to it & tasted so good. For appetizers: We shared their steak nachos, soooo good! I especially loved the grilled jalapeño on top. For dinner: We both had the ribeye & shrimps that were cooked to perfection. It was absolutely amazing. For sides we shared a salad, mashed potatoes & broccoli. Everything was delicious. We returning & recommending to everyone. read more
