I'll start on a high. Wyatt burger was actually very good. Cooked well and good taste. Came very well packaged, nice and hot and also not squished which was a bonus. Sweet potato fries were also very good. Somehow survived the trip home without going soggy, another bonus. Moving on to the Pit buffet. Brisket: just give us sliced fatty brisket. Pulled beef in what seemed to be sat in water was tasteless, tough to eat and just boring. Wings: undercooked, warmed in an oven (or maybe even a microwave 😫) congealed, stringy, flibbly and just not pleasant. Ribs: okay. Dry and tough but okay flavour. Mac and cheese: some pasta with grated cheese on top and a bit of congealed sauce. Slaw was good apparently though! Potatoes were mostly dry chorizo, was actually quite looking forward to the potatoes. Cowboy beans were literally a tin of Heinz with a bit of BBQ sauce, tomato and onion 🤷🏼♂️ Free churros were a nice bonus and ended the meal on a high. I can understand proper smoked meat would be twice the price and much harder work but atleast show some of the meat some flames, LOOKING AT YOU CHICKEN WINGS. Stop pulling your brisket, give us some decent barky slices. And also stop drowning everything in sauce. Not sure if we have been blessed with epic smoked meat in the past from the likes of (maybe a few years ago) reds true BBQ etc but would not be coming back to The Ranch for the BBQ meat. 100% coming back for the burgers though as we actually really enjoyed the burgers and fries!

The food itself is enjoyable, but after a recent visit I changed my mind on ever going back. Made the mistake of using their customer toilets and had my eyes opened. With basic cleanliness, hygiene and health and safety ignored this blatantly in a public area, I dread to think what’s happening over the counter. Missing pins and dried on urine staining-definitely not fresh, so you can’t say it’s been cleaned regularly. Not to mention what I hope is a leaky pipe wetting the floor. What was worse was that you made me we touch that to lift the lid… eew!

We had a really disappointing experience with the quality of the food. Sides were okay, jalapeno poppers were the best thing. Onion and garlic fries were covered in raw onion and garlic powder which was rank. The main thing...the burgers were poor. Burgers were bland and the cheese used is very poor quality catering packs of super thin slices. My partners burger had the tiniest bit of bacon and my burgers "bacon jam" is laughable. Place really needs some improvement, has great potential but needs looking at

Ordered tonight for the first time and thought we would try a local burger joint. Was really looking forward to it but so disappointing. Took 2 hours to arrive. Forgot to send our mozzarella sticks. Instead of offering to send over, offered a refund. One word for the burger - dry. There was no sauce and look at the amount of bacon... Pro = fries were good 2/5 This cost £25 for 2 burgers 2 fries. Not good enough. Recommend you to go to McDonalds.

Honestly could go as far as saying one of the best burgers I've had in my life, Burgers 10/10, chips 10/10, peppercorn sauce 10/10, the list goes on. Guy who served us was great and wasn't wrong when he told us that everything on the menu was good when we asked what he recommended. Photos just don’t do it justice. The burgers literally melt in your mouth and have so much flavour. Would get 6 stars if i could!
