Reviews for Harris Ranch Inn & Restaurant in Coalinga, CA
We came here on a 2pm driving down from the Bay Area to LA. Typically we stop by In n Out but wanted to try something different... this time. When I entered the building, the place was decorated with Christmas vibes and the place was bustling withpeople. Even though it was busy, the wait for the restaurant lounge was only 5 minutes. Since we had our dog, there wasn?t anoutside place so we decided to do carry out and eat in the parking lot which had lots of space. After ordering, they said thewait time would be 20 minutes but it was more like 35-minutes. The food: Whiskey smoked salt and brown sugar rubbed rib eye -this was DELICIOUS. It was sweet, savory, salty, fatty, and charred. I?d get this again but it was actually almost toofatty. Fried green beans - delicious and crispy. The sauce was yummy too. Overall, I?d stop by here again if I was trulyhungry and felt like spending the money. I think the meal was too expensive for what it was and the wait time took longer thanexpected. Read more
The restaurant was awesome! Great decor, clean, the servers were polite and efficient, and the food was great. I had the prime... rib dip and it was delicious, tender meat and perfectly seasoned au jus. The sweet potato fries were done just right, not soggylike other places. I also appreciate that the owners allow overnight RV parking in the lot. So much better than a noisy restarea or a truck stop with semis running their engines all night. I was a bit dismayed by the big sign that said ?RV park comingsoon? as it will take away another no cost option for RVers. I understand the business is here to make money but maybe when theybuild the RV park they would consider including a dirt lot where overnighters could dry camp for $10 or so. Hardly any RV parkshave this and it would really help those of us who just need a spot to stop for a few hours and sleep. Read more
This was my first time at Harris Ranch in many years, and everything impressed: The rooms are CLEAN. Not crunchy, too-much... bleach clean...actually properly clean and comfortable. The honor bar is lightly stocked, but you're not here to stay in theroom and eat cashews. The in-room coffee is good, whatever they chose for a Harris-branded blend was on the dark side of mediumand better than most of the k-cups you'll find at the grocery store. The pool is beautiful at night and the pool bar is a greatspot to grab a nightcap without fighting the crowd at the main restaurant. But if you want food you will need to brave thebusier space...the pool bar is drinks only! The food is as good as any place I've been, and the steaks are legendary for areason. The menu is straightforward and the waiters know their kitchen, so there's a chance they'll steer you to somethingexcellent if you ask. This is a great venue for large gatherings, and the cost is lower than anything comparable within a day'sdrive. Read more
We absolutely loved the prime rib, service was fast and friendly, even on a holiday weekend. Maria and her staff were great!... Perfect spot for dinner if you are traveling on the 5fwy down the California Central Valley. From the water to our main dish itwas absolutely delicious. We are definitely coming back. The only negative was an rude old man when he was giving me the rulesand conditions on my service dog. He could?ve been more compassionate. Read more
The food was great and the ambience was perfect. Our server(s) were on top of everything we needed. The seats were really comfy... and well suited to the decor. The steak was perfectly medium rare. Meat was a little tough in places but the char was soperfect I almost didn?t care. I didn?t love the sides too much, but I didn?t hate them either. Exception was the mushroom soupwhich was perfect in every way except the portion size. If this wasn?t so far from the Bay Area I?d definitely make this aregular stop. Read more
The hotel is very clean , space is large , amenities are good quality, double wash areas, which is fantastic! Swimming pool and... hot pool are great for kids and adults. All surrounding looks beautiful in such dry dessert. Restaurants all so very nice!Healthy food, good quality, for guests drive long way in the hot weather, it is such a big surprise!!!! The owner thinks theguests' need first, and wants everyone stay happy, and leave with their expectations! If anyone still complains about, thatmeans those people never happy in their life, always find something to complain! Then pay high price to stay other hotels! Read more
It seems to be popular among locals. And it is indeed good. Service is good, food is good and fast. Local police officers come... here often. A small and cozy place and people seem to be from around here. There is also Tesla charging stationsavailable. Food is not too cheap here. Steak can go up to nearly $50, but I believe it is good.
