Ranch House - Bar & grill in Godfrey - 3330 Godfrey Rd, USA

Use to eat in the restaurant a lot so we tried the bar and the food was great and the lady working was very nice and very busy

Ranch House is a dive bar with a down home comfort food kitchen. Ranch house has been around easily 50+ years. I remember going there after a movie date in high school for a burger or as a special treat a week-end breakfast out. I wasn't a foodie back then, but I can tell you now, I give them a thumbs up for what they are. What are they? They're a dive bar that hasn't been redecorated since the last century. They're a dive bar with friendly and attentive customer service, who welcomes everyone. While I sat at the bar, I was treated and given the same quality service as all the other guest they called by name. With the quality of food at reasonable prices, I am sure they'll know my name eventually. Now, let's talk food. Two of my weaknesses are, Jalapeño Burgers and Fried Chicken and they have delivered well on both. A Fried Chicken Dinner is their Wednesday night special. I enjoyed a crispy half fried chicken with two sides. I went county boy for my sides and choose, Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes with White Gravy. Whoa, the chicken was crispy and oh, so juicy. It is equally as good as Pat's Bar and Grill in STL, which was a favorite of mine before moving. My two sides were also, equally as good. Real mashed potatoes, not instant and the green beans, were perfectly seasoned with onion and bacon. I've also enjoyed the fried chicken as a carry-out. After experiencing their winner, winner chicken dinner and seeing a Jalapeño Burger on the menu, I had to come back. The burger was a smash burger done on a flat grill, topped with Pepper Jack cheese and smothered in plenty of jalapeños. If I could add jalapeños to everything I eat, I would. The toasted bun and crispy fries as a side, completed this meal. Oh, the local craft beer was a nice touch too. Ranch House is close to my home. I actually could walk there and burn the calories I'd be consuming eating the delicious comfort food. I will definitely be adding them to my rotation of restaurants.

The place is great bar with great food. The only issue I had was the waitress was spending so much time talking with her regulars we kind of got ignored and had to get our own drink refills from the bar. Food was good though.

The Service: There was only one server who didn’t seem to understand what was happening, she was very slow and brought out my food before my fathers so I didn’t get to eat with him. The Cooks: I’m not sure what happened in the kitchen but we were told they missed my fathers food on the ticket so that took an extra 30 minutes. While we waited for his food I got to eat my burger which had an old patty on it (I’ve worked fast food so I can tell) and my greek fries which was about the only good thing I got. Hire more servers so one lady isn’t flustered when it gets busy and get different cooks cause those ones suck.

Terrible, terrible, and more terrible. Food wasn’t cooked, one waitress, and piss poor atmosphere. Did I mention the food was not cooked? Terrible, wish there were negative stars.

Best cheeseburgers around. The staff is very friendly, always enjoyed our visit..

After trying 3 times calling the number listed only to be met with " this number does not have a voicemail set up" my family headed up to the restaurant. Upon entering, I had to flag someone down after being ignored only to get " do you have a reservation?" I explained i did not and why, then started to ask what the current number was then only to be interrupted by " you have to have a reservation". Yes, I understand, so I tried to explain again the number going straight to no voicemail only to be cut off again with " you can't call on Greek night ". So I clarify that their phone line doesn't work on certain nights? Only answer...." you can't call on Greek night ". So they have nothing on their website or social media about said policy and you cannot call with questions. Instead, you deal with rude staff. At least I found out before spending money here. Shame because we love supporting local businesses but will not be returning. So fair warning to all....don't try their phone on Greek night 🤷‍♀️

Food was very good. It was not what I was fully expecting. The flavor and the fact that the food wasn't dry. I will order again. The only thing I didn't like was the atmosphere.
