Had a New Year's breakfast here and got the tri-tip breakfast, with eggs, hashbrowns, and buttered toast. Don't think that the cook was done exactly right on the tri-tip. I had asked for a medium rare, but didn't seem too pink. The meat was very tender and delicious though as you get a good amount of char. Hashbrowns were also very crispy and well seasoned. Staff is attentive and comes by periodically to make sure the dining experience is going well. We ate at the more generic ranch restaurant, so not the horseshoe bar or steakhouse, but it was still a very nice experience. You definitely get a ranch feel and the resort was well decorated still with Christmas trees and lights. Overall, happy that we stopped by here. The beef is as fresh as can be, and was a nice hearty, tasty meal to have while on a long drive! Be sure to also visit the butcher shop because the new york steaks looked amazing for the price.

It is always a nice stop on our drive back and force on highway 5. Food is consistently good and service is always nice, swift and friendly. It is a steakhouse so do try their steaks! But salads and sandwiches are also delicious. I like it here during the holiday seasons as they do nice job decorating the inside with all shiny and bright. If the wait time is long you can order ahead (on the road) and pick up, or kill time browsing at the attached store. You can purchase all kinds of vacuum sealed freshly cut and packed Harris Ranch steaks here too.

Stopped in during a long Christmas Eve drive and were greeted by cheerful and friendly staff from the country store all the way to the main dining room. We've stopped in before, but never on a major holiday, and were pleasantly surprised by plentiful parking and quick service. It definitely feels a bit over the top (does one resort need what feels like 40 Tesla chargers and just as many gas pumps? How about 20 lit Christmas trees as you walk through the main hallway?), but it certainly makes for an entertaining stop if you have a group who have been trapped in the car along I-5 for what feels like ages. Our meal was delightful. Fully expecting only the quick service lounge to be available, our family was hoping for either the steakhouse or the main dining room to be open. We got lucky with the latter, and sat down to fresh pressed OJ, pleasant cocktails (mostly ice so I would pass in the future), and hot coffees and waters all around. The waitstaff and assistant brought us bread after we had ordered, and as soon as we finished our rolls, our meals can right out. Timing was impeccable! And the staff were excellent about checking in with us and refilling beverages as needed. Prime rib was top notch, and we loved the complement of veggies and a side of soup. Our table also shared the spinach salad with peppercorn dressing, which was refreshing. The chuckwagon soup was average (could use additional spices or something other than just salt and pepper), but the bowl is a great portion of veggies if you've been subsisting on fast food for the past few days. I had the pot roast, which was so tender and fell right apart as I forked it into smaller pieces. Honestly, I would order this again, I felt indulgent with how little I had to work for my meal. Thank you to the Harris Ranch team for a delightful Noche Buena meal, and a great break during a long drive. I do wish the water refill station was working, but no harm in hydrating via coffees for the car!

I have been going or stopping to this place for many many years now. This is the spot that my family and I always make a stop on the way back and forth LA and the Bay Area either for the bathroom break, get some gas or just simply getting a cup of coffee and pastries in their gift shop. During the holidays, this place is usually decorated so beautifully. Their restaurant also serves some delicious food and worth the try. Make a stop to this establishment, and you'll make it a new habit!

This place should be your 1ST STOP to gas up, get food, etc. Wow! Wow! We were so blown away in this restaurant so yummy food! It was 12 of us from a mission trip coming from San Francisco-- service was so great that our server was so attentive to our drinks and checking on us from time to time, making sure we had enough sauces, dips, condiments etc... plus she gave me a to go cup for my pomegranate lemonade so yummy! The Ambiance as you come in (because it's Christmas) everywhere you go huge Christmas trees all around with different designs. Plus they have a small shopping store with so many cool stuffs that you normally wouldn't find elsewhere! This is the best ONE STOP rest place to eat, relax, walk etc! Thank You for making our trip worthwhile

Hey there party people, Once again I'm on the open road with hubby and we always make a point of stopping at Harris Ranch for a meal. If you happen to be in the area around the Holidays it's a must stop just to see the decorations and hit the gift shop. I had the Flank pita pistachio. It was off the hook amazing!! The basalmic glaze drizzled on the salad with the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes was a Christmas present for my taste buds. The cherry on top being the perfectly tender and seasoned flank steak that literally melts in your mouth. Hubby got the Prime Rib Eye Dip. Our waiter Ruben was on it with the perfect suggestions to elevate an already amazing sandwich to next level yumminess Harris Ranch stays on the list as a must stop so I hope you all do. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays. Be kind to one another

I had heard good things about this place, so decided to stop in during a work trip. And this place lived up to its hype! We didn't have to wait at all for a table and were served right away by the friendly staff. We got the green beans as an appetizer and that was delicious! Had to get a steak of course, and the steak, carrots and everything else on my plate was cooked to perfection. You get good size servings, and had enough for leftovers the next day. The service, quality of the food and overall experience was excellent!

Harris Ranch Restaurant has redeemed themselves from the a previous visit we had a few years back. The service was very friendly and attentive. The steaks we had for breakfast were cooked just as we ordered. It was a basic seasoned with salt and pepper to let you appreciate the beef (as my husband likes it), but they accommodated my request for steak sauce on the side. Was a great breakfast stop while charging the Tesla.
