The Ranch Grill - Rockhampton

Absolutely love the place, waiting staff is so friendly and friendly to the children. Eating was amazing, both of them that I was there! Beautiful relaxed atmosphere that does not cost this family 4 a ability to go for a decent meal! this is our new family space

On our second visit on May 7, we returned with family and friends, and I can confidently say that everyone excelled once again. My meal, the reef and beef, was absolutely delicious. We even ordered dessert, and while there was a mix-up initially, the friendly and attentive staff promptly resolved it. I understand that there were some employees working that night and a few minor hiccups, but I must commend the more experienced staff members who stepped in when needed. The newer employees did a fabulous job as well, and they deserve recognition. We had a little one at our table, and it was heartwarming to see the staff take time to engage with her, even bringing her a cuddly toy and some drawing supplies. I particularly want to mention Brooke for her exceptional kindness. To the management team, please ensure you recognize and take care of your excellent staff. We will certainly be back! Also, kudos to management for paying attention to details like personal hygiene facilities in the restrooms and mothers' room.

We visited the ranch last night and, despite arriving just after they had closed due to a quiet evening, they graciously reopened the restaurant to accommodate us for dinner. I’m so grateful they did, as the meal was fantastic! I ordered a half rack of pork ribs for only $24, and the serving size was generous and delicious. The service was outstanding. I highly recommend dining at the ranch!

My own meal, while beautiful, had a few elements that didn't quite hit the 5 out of 5 mark. The chips and pepper sauce were absolutely to die for. However, my salad was a bit wilted and dry, which I ended up leaving on my plate. I had the filet with garlic prawns; the garlic sauce was a perfect 10/10, while the prawns rated an 8/10, as they were a bit overcooked. Still good, but not outstanding. The steak was lovely until I reached the middle, which was dry and overcooked. I ordered it medium, but it ended up being more on the well-done side. It was still very tasty, but not a perfect 10/10. I would also suggest that they offer a smaller portion option since not everyone is a big eater, which could help avoid a conflict between my husband and me—he loves large portions while I prefer smaller ones. A smaller version of my meal would have been ideal, aside from the slight issue with the steak. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and as my husband said, "We'll be back!" Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert, but that’s a testament to how filling the meal was!
