The Ranch

"It's amazed me the difference in everything in just 2 months. The steaks had more fat than meat. The service was okay but could have been more tentive considering they weren't busy. We ordered drinks to start they sat made at the bar for about 10 minutes we had to ask for them."

"We had scheduled reservations for 7 pm on a Friday evening and arrived at 6:50, we were seated promptly, however greeted rather rudely.There were at least 4 open tables, probably more when we arrived. From there we waited 15 minutes to place a drink and appetizer order. Drinks then took another 10 minutes to get to us, so right around 25 minutes to get drinks. I ordered the NY strip medium rare, it was very, very rare. My wife and daughter ordered a filet, medium, these “steaks” were all fat and gristle . My son ordered a cheese burger, that was burnt. My wife, daughter and I each ordered a loaded baked potato. The loaded baked potatoes came out to us with what appeared to be a melted square slice of cheese on it. I’ve seen other reviews that mentioned they felt unwelcome as they were out of towners. I whole heartedly agree with this assessment. We watched as a waitress laughed, joked, and smiled with other guests, but as soon as she made eye contact with our table, the smile quickly disappeared and changed to scowl. The Ranch misses the mark as a restaurant and even more so misses the mark of a Wisconsin Supper Club. With a total bill, including a tip of around $275, we left hungry and unsatisfied. Skip this stop on your Wisconsin Supper Club tour."

"We didn’t know you NEED to reservations. We sat at the bar and had excellent service by Hailey. We had walleye with Wild rice cakes, they were delicious. I got the seafood trio and everything just melted in my mouth. My husband had a 16oz ribeye and it was done to perfection. Last but not least, the Pink Squirrel for dessert. All delicious! Definitely going back and highly recommend!"

"Warm, welcoming, & treated us like family! Brandy half sweet old fashioned was great!! & the Manhattan with 46 parallel rye whisky from New Richmond, WI was recommended by local couple drinking at the bar waiting to sit in the dining room. Get a reservation! But we sat at the bar and loved it! Left to right King cut prime rib, bacon wrapped dates, relish tray, steamed mussels, brandy Alexander, & crème brûlée."

"Good steak restaurant in Hayward. Great service and we had a great waiter. They at least had a kids menu. I had the ranch steak and it was good but nothing special. For how much we get, I didn't think it was worth the price. We will definitely try again, but probably not until next time we come out to visit the area."
