hickory ranch steakhouse

we came here because we were driving through the area and zomato recommended we go to this place.

our first impression is that the restaurant is very clean (including the bathroom!). the waiters are extremely nice and when asked, told us that we stay away from certain foods because they weren't good that day.

overall, the food was great. we ordered a blooming onion and calamari for a starter. the cocktail sauce had horseradish mixed in that gave it a little extra bite.

fried chicken is very tasty but a tad cold when it came to the table. mywifehad the pork chops which were very thick but perfectly cooked and very moist. our friends had the steak which was also perfectly cooked and seasoned.

tip: if there is a wait for a table, go to the bar area. they have open seating with the full menu. bonus is a great fireplace that kept us nice and warm.

good eats. enjoyed a couple of good meals at the ranch. thewifealways likes the lamb shanks and i tried the beef stroganoff. i was surprised how very good it was. most of the meals we have had here are good, but i finally tried something different than steaks and glad i did. we came back a week later and had the same thing. still good!
yucaipa is limited on restaurants, but this is a good one.
some say it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. the locals sure love it.
service is always excellent and george (26 year veteran) attends to your every need.
plenty of parking now.
