For the first time ever, visitors can sit down in a fine dining restaurant on rodeo grounds and enjoy a prime steak! The Ranch Steakhouse + Saloon is the first full-service restaurant in the rodeo's 90-year history.
"People spend all day out at the rodeo," said Ben Berg, CEO of Berg Hospitality Group, which operates The Ranch. "We felt there was a demand to add a new experience, to give people a chance to sit-down in a climate-controlled area, put your boots up, hang out, and have a cocktail and a great steak or a great hamburger."
The Ranch is located in a 16,000 square foot air-conditioned tent on the east side of NRG stadium. It includes two private rooms and a covered porch. The Ranch is really two concepts in one, a saloon on one side and a steakhouse on the other.
"The saloon side has a bar that has over 75 seats," said Berg. "We have a stage and live music every day, a DJ until late at night. We have the steakhouse side, which is really fine dining. We have our prime, USDA, dry-aged beef out there, bone-in cuts. We have American Wagyu, Texas Wagyu. You're going to be able to eat Kobe in a tent out there."
The Ranch will be open every day during the rodeo from 4pm until midnight. For more information, visit The Ranch online.
