Ranch Cafe

I stumbled upon this diner sorta by accident. I met someone in passing that just happened to share that they go to this place daily to grab a bite to eat. Really, I thought...EVERY day? Wow! Certainly it has to because it's convenient/a few doors down from his job.Well, anywho I ended up giving it a try. At first sight it isn't the most pleasant spot to look at, however I've found many 'hole in the wall' eateries to be absolutely worth taking the chance/risk to go in! I parked, peeped in, observed those sitting by the window (and their food) while pondering what I should do? Go in, drive off? Go in, drive off? Go in! That settles it, I put on my 'big girl pants' and my 'brave look' with head up and shoulders thrown back and walked on in. I was met with a pleasant enough greeting and I shared that wanted to see a to-go menu. I was handed one that almost appeared to be typed. I was shocked at first, like man, what kinda place is this, really? I must've had an odd look because the hostess said she'd find a better one, but I assured her it was ok. All I needed to do was SEE the menu CLEARLY and order. That said, I found just what I wanted. I chose the Western Omelet, Hash Browns and Rye. There was a nice crowd of customers dining in. Some looked like locals....just like the person who referred me....like they came all the time. They have breakfast and lunch items on the menu and folks were eating a variety of food. Mind you, it's no Snooze or First Watch in appearance, but the hours are about the same, 6:00am-2:00pm. Moving on, the order was completed pretty fast. I paid (around 10.50) and jetted to my destination, about 10 minutes away. The food was still warm when I sat down to eat. The omelet and rye were delicious...omg! I probably could've devoured two. On-the-other-hand, the hash browns were HORRIBLE. They were stuck together and filled with grease all at the same time. They seemed old, like they'd been in the freezer since before the Pandemic. Rancid, rank, stale. You get the picture. Thank GOD for the omelet and toast. I won't count them out because of this, but I will pass on the hash browns next time and I don't plan to get the breakfast potatoes either. They appeared dry (on other folks plate). Now that I think of it, maybe it's 'a thing' with potatoes...idk, but I'm good.I'm not 100% certain of how long Ranch Cafe' has been in business, but I think they are good enough to keep people coming back and stay in business. So, if you're ever in the area or just feel like venturing out with an appetite for breakfast including a great omelet (or lunch) I think you'll be fine stopping in, but listen, if it's not your cup of tea, don't drink it...you know what I mean...

We tried this place a while ago but I forgot to review it. The waitress was jittery, which was weird, but nice. We had to ask for things multiple times before getting it.The food was okay. I love coffee but didn't like it from here.It was like walking into a modern western saloon, without alcohol.It is reasonably priced but I don't think I'll go back.

Let me tell you why I rated this as a 5 star. Our server, Brandy, was just awesome. Very honest about the food and how to even ordering style. The omelets were cooked to perfection and we both loved our food. You can ask for say your hash browns to be cooked lightly otherwise they come out like straw. Good to know. My husbands biscuit was not over huge but soft and fluffy just how he likes his. This was our first time trying fried cauliflower and it was very tasty loved it. At the end of our breakfast I just had to sample the peach cobbler with ice cream. Yumm. Now as I waddle out of this establishment I bid good bye, but we will be back.

A coworker told me about this place (I'm from NKC, so I don't get into Grandview much outside of work) and I'M SO GLAD SHE DID!!!I was raised in the South, and let me tell you, this is some 5-star fried okra. No joke. Somebody's grandma is in that kitchen working some magic. I ordered the Friday Special (shrimp) and even the cocktail sauce is perfect. With a good swig of their sweet tea, I feel like I'm in my hometown again.The peach cobbler is even good cold!!! How do they do it?!

What is not to like about Ranch Cafe? The employees are friendly and personable. The service is perfect. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. There is no pretense here. Coffee is hot and tasty and the breakfast is perfection. I had the ham and cheese omelette and it was spectacular.my final Analysis is that this place rocks.

I love this place! The service is great the food is amazing and very good pricing to fit your budget! It feels like cheers when I come in lol everyone is so friendly. Great mom and pop restaurant

I was in the area for a funeral and recalled a breakfast place called, Shirley's, at this address which had decent diner food. Although it pretty much looks the same on the outside, the name has changed to Ranch Cafe and I assume it has different owners as well. That's too bad, because this place is missing the friendly charm and quality food that once lived here.The restaurant is spacious with plenty of table and booth seating, as well as a respectable countertop bar area. Unfortunately, it struggles to have any real theme or identity with Cowboy decor, 50s diner flare, pinup girls and a little Betty Boop thrown in for some unknown reason. However, I care more about the food than the surroundings - as long as the place is clean - and for the most part, it at least appeared to be that.Our server seemed preoccupied and treated us like a disruption to her day. She wasn't really unfriendly, but had this "Ugh, what do you want" sort of attitude.The food was a disappointment. The food came like 2 minutes after we ordered it. As in many cases, "fast" doesn't necessarily mean good. My over-easy eggs were both fried hard with one of the yolks broken. The sausage patties had the potential to be tasty, but they seemed pre-cooked as if they had been made hours ago and just slightly reheated. The hashbrowns were soggy and limp from grease. I also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy, which wasn't bad, but also not anything that was going to salvage this experience.In my opinion, there's enough breakfast spots within a 2 mile radius of here that you don't need to deal with mediocre service and reheated microwaved food. If something doesn't change soon, Ranch Cafe, should do everyone a favor, cut its losses, and just be put out to pasture.

Normally, when I go here I have good service and the food is fine. Today the service was still very good but when you asked for cottage fries and you get a little cut up french fries and over cooked omelette, then do you have a cook? Who doesn't understand English or Management just doesn't give a damn anymore.I meet friends once a month here and I'll continue doing that but it's going to be a long time before I put any value in the food if ever.

Service was bad, food was worse. Employees had nasty attitudes. I would rather go hungry.

Food and service was excellent. I have no complaints. I will definitely be back. My only complaint would be that they should be open for dinner. Breakfast and lunch is good but how about opening for dinner.
