Update: STAY AWAY! this coming from a regular.. my review goes from a 5 to a 1.. read how and why.
I last went here on December 4th.. Steve the owner was totally and completely unprofessional. He was walking around the kitchen area cussing the most profane things, audible by all in the dinning area. I believe there was one customer below the age of 18 as well who heard all these profane words. The profane speech from Steve was almost unbelievable, I honestly couldn't believe what I was listening to. Steve seemed to be belittling someone in his family very harshly and very loudly inside his own restaurant. I've been a regular here for years and tolerated Steve's rude attitude, but this last visit went above and beyond being rude and disrespectful. Think twice before you speak Steve -O
This is the perfect comfortable place to eat on the weekends. The staff is super sweet and friendly. Staff is very accommodating to the needs of everyone. They have the best cheeseburger I can find in the bay area.. the beef seems very fresh.

Love going to ranch house for amazing service and the best comfort food. We general go for their breakfast options and have always had a great experience.
Consuelo is the sweetest most helpful server! I love love love this place.

Went here on a Sunday morning since it was close to a hiking trail I was going to. I ordered hot tea and got coffee but the server fixed her mistake right away. My boyfriend ordered biscuits and gravy and got burnt English muffins with very sweet country gravy sauce. I ordered the breakfast burrito it was good. The place was a little too small for my liking and I felt like they were understaffed.

Great food, I especially liked the breakfast burrito (you eat it with a fork and knife). It's street parking right in front of it and we ate outside, which was a little muddy but not bad. Service was excellent, we were sat quickly and were attended to well outside.

It's very much a small, old diner on the inside. The staff are nice but the food isn't great. My wife did not like her pancakes at all but they left them on the bill. I paid for them because we ordered them but thought that would have been a nice courtesy.
Really disappointing microcosm for modern Lamorinda life.Grumpy greedy boomer stationed at the “front desk”; clearly it’s his family property and he’s there if he wants to be to chat and “greet” people he knows.Prices are high for a greasy spoon.They hired immigrant labor (naturally) that is fantastic/generous/kind and incredibly hard working; but owners not interested in doing any real work (…or waking up 4am to make pancakes for customers) so he’s just gonna chat with the “regulars” and the rest of the old Boomers of the past.I think owner just there “for the craic” because he’s bored and has all the land and wants to make even more money in Lamorinda, from family-owned property and existing “restaurant”.So this “project” is to make more money from an old building (and feeds him when he’s hungry).They are partially using the “diner” for storage and other old furniture / family “heirlooms” ; lots of old Rooms so why not fill them full of stuff; classic Lamorinda “business” venture.

Ok so this is a time warp kinda place, I mean it's like stepping back in time to an old school greasy spoon breakfast joint. Daily specials and a standard regular lineup. It's filled with local regulars, a mix of bicyclists, families and walk ups.Food was spot on and service with a smile. I had the special " Monte Cristo"I'd definitely eat here again l.

It may look empty and closed from the outside BUT is it full of patrons indoors! Old vintage restaurant but love the mom and pop feel! Fast service and delicious hot food. Perfect for our bike ride stop!
