SHOCK AND AWE on Easter!!!!Two weeks ahead of Easter Sunday, I phoned Joe's K Ranch, to see if they were open on Easter and, if so, to make a reservation for 10 people (9 adults and 1 child).Did the employee who answered the phone mention that it was BUFFET ONLY on Easter? No. Did that employee mention the buffet's price? No. (Both are very important and should have been spelled-out.)Twice in the run-up to Easter, an employee of Joe's K Ranch phoned me to confirm the reservation. Was BUFFET ONLY mentioned during either phone call? No.When we arrived on Easter Sunday Sunday, was there signage or any other indication of BUFFET ONLY? No. Only when we were seated and did not get menus did that become obvious. Then, it was too late.Would I have made the reservation knowing that it was BUFFET ONLY? Absolutely not! Rarely is a restaurant's food at its best with a buffet. Very rarely. And this was NOT one of those rare occasions.The variety of buffet items was not extensive. Food preparation was far from special.That said, if the price per person were in the $20-$25 range, I'd have shrugged it off with "Live and learn." But here's where the SHOCK AND AWE came in: $42 per person! Yes, you read that correctly. $42 per person! That may be the going rate and justifiable at an elegant, renowned supper club, but Joe's K Ranch is NOT elegant, NOT renowned, NOT a supper club.Our food-only bill came to $378. And then, to "add insult to injury" as the old saying goes, there was an automatic 20% gratuity Which came to $78.60. The server did not take our orders, nor did she bring our food. All she did was bring two pitchers of water, a couple baskets of bread products . . . and the check.The final bill, with tax, came to $496.75, just a few cents shy of $50 per person . . . with NO DRINKS!

Corner bar atmosphere. $48 for prime rib, other steaks equally expensive. NY strips were incinerated beyond medium, ordered medium rare. I sent mine back. The others in my party were done eating when I finally got my replacement. Will I return? Maybe, but I won't order a steak.

I was at Joe’s K ranch for a shower recently. We were in the back room with a pretty busy group, but everyone was seated at the tables when the food was coming around. The first staff that approached our table rudely told us to “make room there’s way more food coming” as we were still trying to finish up our salads. Granted the food was served family style and we did need room there are definitely other ways to politely ask a table to help clear their area. Each time that server approached she continued to have an attitude and it felt unapproachable . The next server was asking us to finish/place the last piece of chicken on a plate so she could put a new full plate down and the people at my table were still eating so it was a bit forced/awkward to grab a new piece. I’ve worked in the service industry for years and the whole time I felt like a bother to the servers. Typically I am an understandable person, but this entire experience was supposed to be a happy time yet hindered by this rude service.
