★★★★★ 5.0 Christian Gaucin · Feb 2026

Food was cooked to perfection. Just right perfectly seasoned, juicy medium rare Ribeye. The brisket was perfect juicy, BBQ sauce was just right not too sweet just right. The loaded potatoe wast perfect, sour cream, thick real pieces of bacon, chives, cheese and butter. The home cooked chillie was delicious.The peach cobbler was perfect not too sweet just right, not dry with vanilla bean ice cream on top. After a couple of days being on the road eating fast food, We wanted and hardy, home cooked meal. We found Willow Ranch, it is like we hit a jack pot of restaurants. I will definitely drive out - 3 hours just for the food (peach cobbler) . Its worth the drive! Willow ranch was cozy welcoming, clean restaurant. Shout out to Steven our server, he told us the history of the restaurant.

We were traveling back home from San Francisco. We wanted some good hot food, not another fast food place. We were driving I noticed a sign that just said "Keep" I was like Keep what?? I thought the bottom of the sign fell off. A couple of miles later there was another wooden sign that said " Hunger Away " and then it clicked!!! It said out " Keep hunger away!!" A couple of miles another wooden sign that said " Willow Ranch 12 miles away. So we drove over to Willow Ranch. The restaurant feels like cozy country and very welcoming. Oh boy let me tell you the food was amazing!!! I got the brisket dinner, bake potatoe, garden salad and cornbread. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the bbq sauce was just right. Not too sweet, it was very flavorful. The bake potato was just like gra

Steak was absolutely amazing. We will get back to that. My server was a sweetheart. Very nice and very attentive. She earned every penny of her tip and some. The atmosphere was casual and calm. Very comforting. Now back to the food. The salad, which I forgot to photograph was great. The Jalapeño Poppers were molten lava. If you get them, let them cool a few minutes. I blistered my lip with the cheese AFTER my server warned me. Baked Potato, Beans and Dinner Roll were good. The STEAK, oh my god, the STEAK. One of the best tasting steaks I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Not only was it cooked to perfection, the flavor was sublime. I very highly recommend this place.

If you get the chance to try this place, please do! :) Stopped in here to eat some food on our way back home from our vacation and wow - SO HAPPY that we did. I'm so glad we didn't choose fast food in the area instead. This Restaurant served awesome 'sandwiches'! Got the Brisket Sandwich & the Tri-Tip sandwich with BBQ on the side. I went for onion rings and he went for fries. BOTH side options are perfect. The onion rings were beer battered style and the fries were almost battered fried (but I don't think that's actually a thing). The roll was soft & perfect. Excellent mouth chew and the taste of everything was just a stellar experience. My BBQ Brisket Sandwich was so juicy and delicious! The bbq sauce pairs perfectly (I should have bought a bottle to go!). If you're a Tri-Tip fan, the

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Anthony Lin · Jan 2026

It was alright. Nice servers, plenty of space, accessible bathrooms. Meh food. The kids meals had a good amount of fruit, which is good. Kids tri tip was terribly overdone, but the quantity was OK. My brisket sandwich was below average - I didn't see any evidence of it being BBQ (read: smoke ring) other than the presence of BBQ sauce. The potato salad here had olives in it, which is unusual and kind of interesting.
