We were long over due for a dinner date with Shane and Kristine so last night we made the trek down to Webster to go to the Ranchero Supper Club. Greg and I went here about 2 years ago for his birthday and both really enjoyed our food. We have been meaning to go back for a while so we figured it was about time we revisited. If you haven’t been to the Ranchero before the best way to describe it is “an Old School Supper Club”. The restaurant is about 38 years old and I really don’t think they have done a thing to it since they opened. If you read my blogs you know that is more than fine by me.
We were greeted by a waitress who brought us back to our table quicker than I have ever been escorted to a table before, it was comical. We were promptly greeted by a man who took our drink order then shortly after by our waitress. Kristine and I started off with iron butterflies, Greg got a Paulaner beer sampler and Shane had a soda in the cutest frosted glass ever. The one thing we noticed right away are the tiny glasses overall. Of course we had to take a picture to show their cuteness.
The entrees here come with a bread basket, a relish tray (sorry Ranchero, the one at Mancini’s is superior), soup or salad and a choice of potato. Shane ordered the NY strip, Kristine got a chicken sandwich, Greg choose the ribeye and of course I got the filet. The one thing that shocked me is that a 6 oz filet is only $13.50 here. Are you kidding me?? The same size at Outback is $18.99. I mean to get a whole meal with all of the sides for $13.50, what more could you ask for. Not only was it the perfect size and price, it was delicious! They put their “special sauce” on all of their steaks. Typically I don’t use any sauce on my steak but it definitely adds some flavor and it is fun to try it the way they prepare it. I chose the AuGratin potatoes and they were amazing. I would highly recommend them. They almost tasted like macaroni and cheese. Greg had the bread pudding for dessert and really liked that too. Overall everyone was very happy with their food.
Other than the location, there is absolutely no reason not to check this restaurant out. If you have a little extra time to drive a little further to go to dinner, I would highly recommend it. I was surprised how early it cleared out there. Then again we did have a late dinner. In addition to the typical pictures I have in my blogs I added a few extras just to show the charm of the Ranchero. Have you been to the Ranchero recently? Let us know what you thought!
