Ranch Steakhouse — Restaurant in Norman

It was our 30th anniversary and if the the rating was only on service, I would’ve given five stars, our server in training, Josie, and her mentor were perfect, they did absolutely everything perfectly.

Unfortunately that is not the case and after spending $250 on a meal I would expect to be happy when I left but that wasn’t the case at all. The appetizer and salads were wonderful, I asked for my steak $100 bone-in ribeye to be medium at the bone because it usually is undercooked at the bone, knowing this could mean my steak would be medium well to done on the outer edge but I am okay with that because I cannot do medium rare especially on a fatty cut like a ribeye. I do not send food back at restaurants as I don’t know what they do to it as it is an insult to the cooks (who should know what medium is) and my sides were okay, the au gratin potatoes were good, next time if I ever go back I will do a baked potato but the asparagus was horribly burnt, they call it charred but it was burnt and had a rancid taste, will not order that again…especially at $12 each for a side. Again, I don’t send food back at restaurants, it isn’t good Karma for the customer.

My salad was great, my wife’s salad was great but her steak medallions were way undercooked as well, she enjoyed the sides it came with and I cannot stress this enough…the staff was wonderful, love those girls and would request them if I were to ever go back, the ambiance was nice…I just wasn’t impressed for $250 plus a $65 tip.

2/11/25 UPDATE on January 11th, 2025 I went in person to the restaurant and made a reservation for Valentine’s Day at 8:30 pm and they said they would call if they had a cancellation for an earlier spot, I called today to see if there was a cancellation and not only did they not have a cancellation, now they don’t have my 8:30 reservation and they tried to say I made the reservation with the OKC location…

I called back and asked to speak with the manager and they said there wasn’t a manager on duty and didn’t know when one would be there if at all. No chance for a...

The food is absolutely top notch. We started with delicious stuffed mushrooms and chop house salad. Mom and I shared a 22 oz. bone in Ribeye with sides of truffle butter and crab Oscar that was to die for! We chose the side sampler with blue cheese and bacon Brussels sprouts, creamed spinach and artichokes, and green beans almondine.

The only thing that beats the quality of food is the attention to service. I have never experienced the level of service that I did tonight. Kelly knew absolutely everything there was to know about the menu, as well as our Keto dietary needs. She was able to request small adjustments in the kitchen (no maple drizzle on the green beans) to make sure the food was perfect for us. She was beautiful and a true delight to share our evening with! Shelby was also working our area and they made a great team. The manager, Danny, was fantstic with my 6 year old son and they made fast friends. Danny was so attentive and had the kitchen cut Blake's meatballs up to make the spaghetti just the way he likes it. He then proceeded to stand at the table and grind up the slices of parmesan so he could sprinkle it on the top in a more kid friendly fashion. All the while he was engaging Blake in conversations about 🇮🇹 Italy. Blake could not stop talking about him. He kept telling us that he really liked Danny and that he was a really cool guy. Danny even let us look at his new goat Lulu, who was in the back of his truck! 😂 I have never had a dining experience where I absolutely felt like the staff was part of my family.

This was beyond a 5 star dining experience and we will be back...

After having a discussion today with someone I work with and there similar bad experience, I felt I needed to share my experience. We also went on fathers day like Abigail Durance said in her review, there was not that many people there as she said. We did have a reservation. I had told the other 3 people in our party several times before this, I did not want to go there because of there inflated prices. I can afford it, I just don't think that type of food warrants that type of price. When we sat down and my friends said "glad you came" and I said "better enjoy it , because it will be the last time". Boy was I right! The flavor and quality of our steaks were just OK and over seasoned. One person in our groups steak was rare when it should have been medium. She asked to send it back for 2 minutes and by the time it finally came the other 3 of us were almost finished eating and her steak was well done and the plate was so hot it was still cooking the steak. I can't believe they serve that hot of a plate that the meat is still sizzling. Someone could easily get 3rd degree burns from those plates. The manager came over and she offered a new steak which took forever to come out and it was also under cooked. But thank goodness for that 600 degree plate, because it cooked to medium before she finished it. We were the very last people out of there at close to 11:30 pm. Never saw the manager again! I feel sorry for the wait staff having to work with that kitchen and management.

Notice the management does not address these bad reviews on Google. Only...
