The Lone Star Ranch House is hands down one of the best restaurants in Yakima. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a genuine, down-home feel that makes every visit memorable. The owner is usually in the back, personally cooking up delicious meals, which adds a special touch of care and authenticity to the food. The front-of-house staff is always attentive and friendly, providing excellent customer service that keeps guests coming back. I absolutely love this place—it’s a true gem in the Yakima dining scene.

It is a great place to eat. I love going to this local dining spot. They have a great menu filled with an eclectic variety of meals. You can get a great breakfast anytime of the day or BBQ for dinner. I wholeheartedly recommend trying this sleeper of a restaurant.

To be honest, this place is like a hidden gem. We have eaten dinner here 3 times now and have not been disappointed at all. I would suggest expanding the menu with a few new items, but honestly the menu might be short, but from what we have tasted, absolutely no complaints. We tried a new drink tonight, can't remember the name something with strawberries and vanilla, tasted like strawberry cheesecake and could hardly taste the alcohol, but it was definitely in there.

This place is tucked out of the way, in fact it almost seems out of place. The building itself is outdated and we weren't sure if we were going in the front door. However! The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. If we are back in Yakima, we would definitely return.

This homey little place has amazing food, a friendly staff and real mashed potatoes! Chicken fried steak was very tender, mashed potatoes were homemade & the steamed veggies weren't overdone. The BBQ sampler is HUGE I left with well over 1/2 of it for another meal. I will be going here again.

While looking a little plain on the outside with a simple sign and small flashing neon open sign, it was well worth going inside. The interior has a nice rustic look with plenty of seating and even a pool table in the corner. The staff was very friendly and accommodating; they always checked on us and refilled waters, etc. The pulled pork burger was great, as was the chicken Parmesan and Chicken Caeser Salad. For me it was the ribeye cooked medium rare with mushrooms and onions on top. It was very tender and cooked to perfection. The loaded baked potato was also awesome! I would also highly recommend the strawberry lemonade (you can get it with vodka too!!), it was also perfect.

I have been looking for a new place to get steak due to having three bad experiences at the Texas roadhouse. Me and my wife decided to give this place a chance and we will definitely be back. The steaks are huge and delicious.
