Ranch Hand Trail Stop — Local services in Paris

Being from Texas and anyone who knows me, I take great pride in my steaks and anyone who can cook a great steak. With that being said, I must say I have now found the best prime rib steak I have ever had. Trust me, that is saying A LOT!! Clean environment, clean restrooms, clean showers. Has a very friendly and down home southern feel. You truly feel at home here.

To my fellow drivers, there is plenty and I mean plenty of parking available here. Get parked, get showered, and get fed with very reasonable priced homemade southern style food.

If I can ever make it back here, I WILL definitely stop here again, no doubt about it!

Update!!!!!!!

Well, here I am again roughly 2 years later and I never forgotten about this place. For most part, it's exactly the same. Great people with great food! I got in last night and again had the prime rib. Sooooo damn good!! I woke up and had breakfast. Was a wonderful breakfast of french toast, eggs, and bacon. Then, for lunch, there was a buffet because it was/is Father's Day. Absolutely amazing!! Dinner time, had the ribeye steak and I still agree with my statements from 2 years ago. This Texan is proud and full. Lol. I've told everyone I know of this place and I will continue to do so. I'm treated like family and this feels like home. Thank you to all the wait staff, cooks, clean up crew, and those that work in the store. Without you all, I'd be hungry and miserable. Thank you all for doing such an excellent job and giving me such wonderful experiences and memories.

Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the meals. I was hungry every meal time and the food smells way too good to try to stop and take pictures. Lol catch you on the...

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Me and my husband stopped in the ranch hand this weekend for dinner during our travels. We have stopped here before and had decent food but this time was a major disappointment. We ordered the chicken cordon bleu they had on special for dinner. The food came out completely cold. The two pieces of chicken on each plate were totally different and the waitress tried to explain to us that they were the same thing. One was a premade one they cook from frozen and the other one was a pile of old bread crumbs. The waitress told us one was their version of the chicken and the other one was made by a customer which is 100% against health code. The home made one smelled horrible and had to be a week or so old. It was 80% bread crumbs with burned cheese on the top. I wouldn't have fed that food to my worst enemy. The waitress was less than friendly. She dropped our ticket with the food and never came back. I don't blame her though the food was embarrassing. I've managed a restaurant and know how the business works and understand mistakes happen. I have never in my life complained about my food to management until this. They ended up charging us half price which is fine but I will never ever stop here again. I wish I would have taken a picture to post here. By far the worst food I've ever seen or been served at a restaurant before. And to top it all off the cashier was rude and a horrible representation for any business. A little care and customer service would go a long way here. Do yourself a favor and drive right...

I have been stopping here for thirty plus years ,, sadly I run different routes for a decade or so ,,, and don't get here but a couple of times a year these days Anyhow the Chicken fried steak used to be the king of the road here ,, none better or bigger anyplace, the last three or four times I've been here it was breakfast time ,,, but today I got there and it was an early dinner for me ,,, but I was Jonesing a big chicken fried steak ,,,I always get the platter one as I eat off the left overs for at least a couple of days , today I ordered the platter sized one ,,and it sadly come out in three preformed squares,,"sad " and I'm not going to try to insult the Ranchhand ,but this thing sucked i was expectinga real chicken fried steak . I don't know how the cook prepared it ,, but I assume these were frozen bricks ,,not sure if they just heated them in the microwave and threw them on the plate or what ,,,but they were soggy ,, and there was very very little flavor , and the breading and meat were mushy ,,,,again I've been stopping here for decades when you had real chicken fried steaks ,,,,for what I paid I feel that I had gotten taken ,,, on the other hand the Clam Chowder was great , as was the potato and...
