The Ranch - Restaurant Review

Guests of The Ranch are encouraged to soak up the abundant Texas culture, dive into tempting menu items and relax in the midst of live Texas music. This dining destination takes pride in its location, so much that there is a giant iconic fork stuck in the ground at the entrance; a reenactment of the last boards of the porch being laid into place, and a worker exclaiming “It’s done, stick a fork in it!" The menu is stocked with seafood from the Gulf Coast, beef from the Southern Plains, and produce from local farms. Local bands for live music complete the list of all things Texas at The Ranch!

Overal Rating: 8 Rough Creek Lodge

Address: 5165 County Rd. 2013, Glen Rose, TX 76043 (Map)

Rough Creek Lodge

Nestled on 11,000 acres of picturesque Texas Hill Country, Rough Creek Lodge takes the edge off of roughing it and indulges guests with excellent amenities and finer cuisine. Some visit this upscale lodge to unwind at the spa, while others flock here for the unique hunting experience; many more know the true meaning of destination dining in every dish they savor from Chef Thompson’s rustic American cuisine menu. The Grilled Rib-eye is succulent; the Pan-roasted Tasmanian Salmon is visionary; and the Brown Butter Plum Tart is downright decadent. It’s easy to see why so many are staking their claim, and table, at this destination dining post.
