The Ranch House — Restaurant in Chester

I hate to say this, but it needs to be said so everyone who reads this doesn't have to experience what we did.

Walked in, stood in the doorway without greeting. Had to approach the bartender to ask where we could sit. The older blonde bartender mumbled something about any available booth and about things being slow because of the lack of an extra waitress. We smiled said no problem, and waited.

15mins later I had to go back to the bar and ask for menus, even though the couple behind us had been given menus, ordered and had gotten their food within the next 5-10mins. No Waters, no interest in our well being, even after the waitress came back to inquire about their meal.

The group of 4 at the bar also have their order, and we are now 35 minutes without even a look our way. Being a Native person, with long hair and my (2) brown Co-workers sitting with me, the reason we were being ignored became obvious.

We peacefully got up, dropped the menus off without a word even when making eye contact, sealed the reason we were ignored. We went across the street to Mi Casita and we're welcomed immediately.

Just don't roll the dice with The Ranch House. If you are stopping in Chester, are Native, or are obviously ethnic, you will be ignored. Eat anywhere else, or just push to Susanville.

Let this place just wallow in their toxicity. Everything on the menu is frozen and fried, so you aren't...

This is a great place, all around, and highly recommend it. Perfect stop for families. Went here with our two young boys and it was truly delightful. Will make it a must visit every time we are in Chester.

Great food. Sweet potato and curled fries were amazing. Corn dogs and quesadilla. Wish I had been in town longer to try more on the menu.

Service was excellent. Genuinely kind and welcoming staff. The owner was helping behind the bar and clearly takes pride in her restaurant pub. Her positive attitude clearly sets an example for other employees.

Great atmosphere. Comfortable bar and booths. Outside seating area in the back with sufficient shade for sunny days. TVs are viewable but not intrusive to...

Party of 12.

We called roughly hour before arriving, staff were welcoming of our large group, and gave us a heads up that there was only one cook. We never would have noticed though. Wait was not long at all, food was all hot and delicious.

Waitress was on top of it, and we never waited long on any request.

The ranch house and their staff did amazing. Friendly smiles, hot food, great service.

We sat in the yard out back, it was very cute, loved the natural landscaping with the lavender. Just a great atmosphere. Wish I would have grabbed a photo of the outdoor patio.

Great ending to our day of hiking and playing at Lassen Park.

Will definitely be back,...
