The food and staff were amazing. This place is awesome! Even though they were short staffed they managed to take care of everyone! The elk chili, chicken pot pie (on special for the day) and pork green chili were all so delicious!! This place is apparently under new owner/management. Definitely going back when we are in town.

The management at El Rancho is very disrespectful.

I have eaten there a couple times there lately. The food and service have been fabulous. Not much of a wine selection but, they are a brew pub.
