The Chicken Ranch 14051 West Grand Avenue, Surprise, AZ 85374

"We decided to try it after reading reviews...quite a few of them not that great. As soon as we entered I was having second thoughts. The place had quite a few people in it, almost all seniors (we are seniors as well). The entertainment was a 1 man show, basically singing karaoke. He had a sound system and he sang. He did have a pretty good voice but it was very loud. Talking to anyone (waitress, wife) was near impossible. I ordered the special, ribs, my wife ordered pulled pork. The meals came out fairly timely, I believe about 20 minutes. Both my ribs and fries were Luke warm. Wife said her meal was also not hot. I am no chef, but I feel the ribs were yesterdays and warmed up or something. They did not taste fresh at all. My wife said her pulled pork was very good. I must say our server, Matty, informed us she was brand new and please bear with her. Other than not having all the answers (she is brand new) she did an excellent job. I look at this place as more like a bar for seniors. Lots just there drinking and dancing. Although I didn't notice anything in particular, it just felt dirty to me...just my feelings. Next day both of us made a few extra trips to washroom...coincidence? Edit: received a message asking us to please try them again. I see this message on a lot of their reviews. Sorry, it will not happen. There are plenty of places with great food around, don't need the troubles again."

"Horrible food. The brisket sandwich meat was cooked a week ago and reheated multiple times before it landed on my plate. Then after being told the margaritas were $5 during happy we get a bill for $6.50 per drink with all ice and we were told they don’t do salt on the rim. Bad experience. Bad food. Bad service."

"First time goin to this place. Took my mom with me. Our nail lady's husband is the band. We had so much fun. The waitresses were awesome. Our waitress was Savanah. She was soooo funny and very nice. Fri night live music and dancing 5-8 pm. Kid friendly."

"The food is pretty good, and the prices are reasonable. Just an overall nice place to go. I can recommend the prime rib, the steak, the wings, and the Prosecco. The salads were fresh and delicious. I don’t see anything not to like. Even if the food were terrible, I would come here just for their Elvis on request events with Elvis Tribute Artist Rick Lenzi, whose powerful voice and uncanny mimic of Elvis mannerisms is a treat . They seem to have this event about once a month-get reservations, because it seems to be more and more crowded, each time I go….."

"Pretty big steakhouse atmosphere with live music. Some country music and 60s and 70s music. Some people had fun dancing front of the stage. Pretty loud live music and not recommended for intimate dates. We got ribs, porkchop, chicken fried steak, and French dip. Side salad, onion rings, and Porkchop was good. Rib and chicken fried steak was ok. Side veggies had pretty strong garlic flavor. French dip came with very soggy buns and very dry chewy meat (do not recommend). Our server was very fast and not a great service. Handicap parking is very far from the entrance."
