Horseshoe Lounge - Coalinga, California

Lunch was soooo delicious!!!! The Chuckwagon soup is a go to everytime we come here. I had the grilled flank steak with pistachio and basil pesto. Let me tell you, I can't wait to have it again. All the flavors were robust and complimented one another perfectly. I love balsamic glaze, and the chef was generous while topping my dish. The service was wonderful and quick. Our drinks were never empty either. Overall, it was a great experience.

We waited 10 minutes for a table BUT could see into the place and there were tables with no one seated. The two ladies at the front desk finally sat us at a newly cleaned table. People still waiting with open tables available, maybe get rid of one table f the ladies so they didn’t just chat to each other but too care of the customers. They may know all about beef but not about service! Time of arrival 1:15pm. The worth Blood Orange Margarita I have ever had at $16. The last table photo is another table where they left a lot of food, doesn’t speak well of the place.

I stopped here the other day on my way home from Sacramento. Earlier in the week I had dined at their Express BBQ, which was fantastic and had me eager for more.

I had time, so I decided to eat at the ranch's sit down dining. I looked at the Country Kitchen and the Steak House as well, but decided on the Horseshoe Lounge as it had the most atmosphere and unique ambiance of the three, plus they serve the entire menu of the Country Kitchen and being a bar only adults are allowed in. I loved all of the decorations and even the chairs had unique upholstery.

I had no idea about the ranch's history with horse racing or even that it was ranked as the #3 restaurant in California and the #29th best independent restaurant in the Country! After dinner, I knew why it has that ranking. The food was outstanding.

I had the Harris Fresh Salad and the Tri-Tip Sandwich (well done). I almost passed on the Fresh Salad because of the name, out here those are typically unremarkable house salads... boy what a mistake that would have been! The salad was fantastic and I've never thought of putting pistachios in there! It would have been sad to have gone for a Caesar salad and missed this.

The sandwich was delicious and the fries were crispy and hit the spot, especially after driving for three hours and having a pretty stressful long day of meetings.

I only wish I had had time to enjoy their Whiskey Smoked Ribeye, that just sounds like heaven on a plate.

I highly recommend this place if you have the time on your travels on the 5.

こちらへ来たら必ず一度は寄って、ステーキにチャレンジします。ボリュームが多く、毎回食べきれずに撃沈しますが。
毎回、最初に出てくるサラダを食べすぎないでおこう・・・と思いつつも、美味しいから食べちゃって、結局肉を残しちゃいます。
今回はプライムリブを食べました。しっとり柔らかく、とてもアメリカンビーフとは思えません。赤身なので脂っこくなくて食べやすいですが、10ozでもボリュームたっぷりなので食べきれません。
更に小さいサイズのオプションが有ると良いのですが・・・

We were starving after spending the whole day prospecting at the Benitoite Mining Company. The team recommended that we have dinner at the renowned Harris Ranch Resort. Our first visit to this Country Store shopping, Ranch Bakery, Steakhouse lobby bar resort was no disappointment. The Ranch Resort is conveniently located near the 5 highway between Bakersfield and Fresno, California. The dinning recommendation was absolutely fantastic. We chose the Horseshoe Lounge for dinner because we noticed all the high-quality whisky and bourbon on display at the bar. The moment we entered this lounge, it felt like we were transported to a country and western bar straight out of the 1850s. At the Horseshoe Lounge, you'll find a fully stocked bar and a diverse steakhouse menu. In the specified sequence, we had Woodford Reserve Bourbon Kentucky Whisky, Margaritas, Traditional Spinach Salad with Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing, crumbled bacon, chopped egg, mushrooms, and Parmesan Cheese. Shepherd's Pie featuring a delicious blend of ground beef, veggies, and garlic mashed potatoes, all topped with melted cheddar. A 14oz portion of Prime Ribeye Steak. A ribeye steak of prime grade, boasting rich flavor and abundant marbling.

My partner and I recently stopped at Harris Ranch while traveling through, and once again, we were pleasantly surprised by the professional and friendly service and good food. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Amaya at the front desk, and given a realistic assessment of wait time (which ended up being very short).

We dined in the Horseshoe Lounge and enjoyed Prime New York steak, a loaded potato, and wedge salad with chicken breast. Very good food considering our options en route 🙂 Our server, Carlos, was superb and prompt, ensuring an extremely pleasant overall dining experience.

Overall, the consistent quality of service and food make Harris Ranch a must-visit every time we're in the area.

Extremely disappointed with our meals. I'll start by saying that our server Bernie was great... the bread is great... the beer is cold. Maybe just go here for bread and beer because everything else was disappointing. The 14 oz. Prime rib was tough as leather... the carrots were undercooked big time and they managed to make mashed red potatoes lumpy and grainy, i feel like you would have to go out of your way to do that ?. We didn't want to complain because Bernie was so nice and we were exhausted from traveling and being in the amazing pool all day.

Service from the staff was very good, server was friendly.
Wings were very good
Tri tip sandwich was nice with a horseradish sauce. Not sure I'd have again but personal preference.
In general food was good quality
Beers are relatively cheap and service was very good.
