Ranch 45 Local Provisions

The food was expensive considering the quality and quantity served. The bread and meat were not well-balanced and dry. The pepper in the sandwiches was not well-mixed, leaving you with just bread, meat, and vegetables. Overall, not impressive.

Food orders within a local grocery market. Nice choices of happy hour, clean and friendly place to grab a steak bite - excellent to fit the boys. The best salad for mom's.

Brandt beef is by far the best beef Ive ever had. This place does it right. Beef tallow on the fryer, can offer seed oil free upon request.

Butcher/ grocery shop with a decent, affordable burger blend. Otherwise meat is pricey, across the board. Pulled pork was the best sandwich, but ask for sauce or it will come dry. Fat-cooked fries, can't complain!

This was awhile back, around late July during the horse races, I just happened to remember how awful my experience here was. Off the bat our waiter was being weird/rude, messing with me and my friends. My two friends got a pastrami sandwich which they said was very good and I ordered the two 4oz steaks MEDIUM with fries. I’d usually go medium rare but whenever I’m trying a new place I play it safe and go medium. When my steak came out before my friends’ sandwiches I was already skeptical it wasn’t cooked and of course the filet was completely raw(the skirt steak was rubbery and just bad).
I asked our rude waiter if he thought this was medium and he just said he liked his steaks rare, completely disregarding my question. I asked for it to be taken back and for a new MEDIUM steak…. Literally 30 seconds later he brings the same steak I sent back. It was genuinely impossible to get it to medium in the amount of time they’d had it. When he showed me the same steak(not a new one) I was kinda annoyed but understood since I’d only sliced a small bit to show it was initially raw. This time, I cut the whole steak into pieces and showed him that every single price was raw. This freaking guy starts acting annoyed at me for asking for a new steak that’s actually cooked. Anyways, he takes my plate back for a second time. I was truly blown away when he brings out my same cut up steak. Am I crazy for expecting a new steak? I’ve worked in multiple kitchens and they would never take someone’s food and put it back on the grill. That’s gotta be breaking multiple health codes, god knows what else they’re doing in that kitchen. I was pretty disgusted but also extremely hungry after working a long shift at the horse track and at least this time the steaks were fully cooked. I’d also like it to be known that I was extremely passive towards this horrible waiter and honestly felt bad about sending food back. I can’t speak to all of the packaged meat they sell, it honestly looked pretty good, but my time sitting down and eating here was one of the most frustrating and just awful experiences at a restaurant I’ve ever had. Nevertheless, I will NEVER be coming back here and i’m so confused how this place has high reviews.

Macciato sour and acidic, no foam or crema. Maple scone few days old like and dry like a Sahara desert storm with fake, artificial taste. What a disappointment!

They don't warn customers that all their beef is corn fed. The place has no 100% grass fed beef on their menu. Their beef comes from Brandt Farms who publicly admit to feeding corn to their cattle for 300 days. Brandt then proudly points out that this is 100% vegetarian food, as if we expected them to feed ... what (?) ... sheep brains or chicken intestines to their cattle?? LOL. Apparently, neither Ranch45 or Brandt are aware that cattle are ruminants. They must be unaware of corn induced acidosis, bloat, bad omega 3 ratios, etc. On the positive side, the place is nice and clean, and all the staff were very polite and friendly.
