| - This place man, this place. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out last night. We were greeted promptly, got seated right away, and had just phenomenal service all night. Our server and the manager were super friendly and extremely accommodating. We got a comped drink (the MOST tasty shot I've ever had), and our server made really great recommendations. We sat on the patio because it was so nice outside, and we had a great view of the bull riding machine in back of us. We even got to see a pretty good face plant during our meal.
We had the spinach artichoke dip, which they make in house, to start. This dish is ooey gooey deliciousness! The sharp Parmesan cheese they put on top really brings a nice contrast to the creaminess of the dish. It was really great. They also served us some biscuits and jalapeno corn bread. The biscuits were just amazing. They were so light and fluffy! And the cinnamon butter (there might have been honey in it too, we're not quite sure) was a perfect addition to the biscuit. The jalapeno corn bread was very tasty, and not sweet which was a nice change. The butter also went really well with that.
We both had rib eye steaks, I got the loaded baked potato and the bf got the spinach as our second sides. I want to say that I really appreciate the fact that sauteed mixed seasonal veggies come with the steak dishes. It's nice to have a standard lighter side. We didn't get any toppings on our steaks, just the stand alone delicious meatiness. Our steaks were cooked just the way we wanted them and were thick and juicy. Very nice seasoning so you really got the flavor of the beef. My loaded baked potato was HUGE and I really dug the seasoning on the outside. Real bacon is always a must on a baked potato and that's what I got. However if you're not a fan of salt or on a restrictive diet I would suggest getting the spinach instead. The spinach, oh my goodness, this was really great. This wasn't limp, slimy, mush. It was light and still had a bit of crispness to it. They saute it with red onion and garlic. The garlic tasted like it had been roasting for a while as it had a really nice flavor and texture. The sauteed veggies were nothing to write home about but they were cooked and seasoned well.
When it came to dessert we were going to pass because our dinner was just so delicious we wanted to finish everything on our plates. We did tell our server though that we would be back because we really wanted to try out the "Roast Your Own S'Mores" plate. She was just awesome and ended up bringing out a comped plate for us anyway! They have a fire pit on the patio where you can roast your marshmallows and assemble your s'mores. It was the perfect way to end our meal. I caution you though, that dessert is built for 3-4 people so keep that in mind when you order it.
We had to box up about half of our dinners because there is just so much food, but it's perfect for lunch today. We left Saddle Ranch saying that we have to tell EVERYONE we know about how awesome this place is.
