Very Nice! We took some friends out for a celebration and we're not disappointed. The Grass fed rib eye steak was tasty. The lobster was really good! All the sides, especially the Brussel sprouts; were very good. The bone marrow followed by a whiskey shot was interesting. Thank you!

I've heard a lot of hype about this restaurant, and I usually take hype with a grain of salt. However, I can confidently say that this place not only lives up to it but even surpasses it. Right when you walk in, you’re greeted by an impressive display of dry-aged steaks, neatly stacked and labeled by age—my mouth was watering from the start! The restaurant has a warm, modern ambiance, with the inviting aroma of grilled meat and warm spices in the air. Our evening began with the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and shared an affinity with me for Ridge wines. He helped us select a small-batch Syrah that everyone at the table absolutely loved. For appetizers, we shared hush puppies, warm Castelvetrano olives, and an endive salad, all of which set a fantastic tone for the meal. For our main course, we had the Kansas City steak (medium rare) and the pork chops. OMG, the pork chops were out of this world! I've had excellent pork chops before (shout-out to Jocko's in Nipomo, CA), but these were on another level. We also chose a spicy green condiment that paired beautifully with both the chops and the steak. For sides, we went with the sautéed spinach and patatas bravas, which were both excellent. My only small wish was for a slightly larger portion of the spinach, as a party of four only got a taste, leaving us wanting more. To wrap up this incredible meal, we finished with the lemon curd panna cotta and a limoncello. What a fantastic experience and an unforgettable birthday! Thank you, Rancher Butcher Chef, for an amazing evening. We will be back!!

Great place for a special dinner. The flavors from the kitchen were original and incredible. The meats were beautifully flavored and prepared, but the sides including the hush puppies (usually not a fan), potatoes bravas (just like the chef owner’s old Tasty n Alder), and polenta with short ribs were incredible. Looking forward to returning here at regular intervals/special occasions. Everyone was incredibly welcoming of a family with a young infant. Total props to the entire staff for accommodating a tired kiddo and in particular Geoff and Derrick! <3

My husband I had the most amazing first anniversary at RBC!! Right off the bat the host was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were sat promptly and we both were impressed by the decor and vibe of the restaurant. They have it beautifully decorated and I loved the open kitchen. Klay was our server and he was phenomenal! It was our first time dining here so he helped with walking us through the menu and explained everything so well. He answered every single one of our questions with expertise and it was very obvious he knew the menu well. He helped me make decisions on several menu items and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the choices. The food runners and severs assistants were also all extremely friendly and attentive!! The drinks and food were all absolutely phenomenal. We got the brioche pop up, hush puppies and tartare to start. Every single thing was incredible and the tartare was likely the best I’ve ever had. Then we got a ribeye with patatas bravas on the side as well as the horseradish cream sauce. Nothing fell short, and everything was cooked to perfection. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time and I will be raving about this for awhile!!

First time to Rancher Butcher Chef, and was not disappointed. The food was amazing, the creamed cabbage was delicious 😋 Everything we tried was great. Can't wait to go back. I only wish they had more wine glass options, they had plenty of bottles, but lacked on glass options.

I always say to take what I say about higher priced restaurants with a grain of salt cause we aren't fancy. But the salt cured meats at this place took it to a level where a single grain won't do. Omg the meat was such a sodium overload that it affected my blood pressure for 4 hours. Yet, it was such tender, juicy and flavorful meat that I ate like it was a death row meal. My wife could barely eat her hanger because of the salt but my snake river ribeye and our friends 30 day aged NY strip got gobbled up like we were horses on a salt lick. Of course I have notes. Obviously be aware that all their meats have been salt cured so if you have sodium issues, try the seafood. The steaks are a la carte (not shown on menu) and the sides are a bit overpriced WTAF is with charging 5 bucks for a thimbul of sauce. Do your best to not support that part of the menu We had 9 people and pretty much ordered every appetizer. They were all delicious but the charcuterie board with the elk meat really stood out as excellent I'm older and have absolutely zero appreciation for the echo chamber resteraunt styling. I spent 2 hours not hearing a word spoken at our table due to the overwhelming amount of white noise coming from everywhere, but mostly the open kitchen The dining area is kinda long and skinny so they chose long and skinny tables. Which totally sucks for a larger group. But to be fair, the wait staff did an incredible job of keeping it cleared for the next round and I see my friends often enough to have not cared if I could talk to the 4 on the far end from me. Personally I have no regrets eating here but would not return. Life is full of conundrums like that though.

Well done RBC!! This was an all around great experience. When we got to town we stopped in to see about moving our reservation to a different time. They made it happen. When we showed up for our reservation they remembered us and were personable and engaging about our visit to Bend. Once we were seated the server was knowledgeable about the menu and really seemed to be on his game. We started with the little gem salad and the beef tartare which were both delicious and good sized portions. The wife orders the cedar plank salmon and I ordered the Snake River Farms ribeye. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We got potatoes bravas, corn ribs, pop-ups and collard greens as sides. All were really good but those collard greens blew me away. Some of the best I've ever had. Great job RBC!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Me and my wife have been planning on making a visit for about the last four months finally she made reservations for 4:45 That’s when we arrived. we were seated right away. The only problem was my wife requested a more private table, and we were seated in the middle of the restaurant right away. We requested a table that was a little bit more quieter. The kid hesitated to respond and right away we know OK this is not gonna be good at about five minutes later young lady came over and said would you guys like the table over there and we promptly got up and moved, that was a relief. Our waiter was very very good. We got our food on time ordered our drinks. Very very good margaritas the salmon was good. My wife’s steak was excellent. One problem with the baked potato. there were just three small potatoes you know those little potatoes you buy in the store that’s what they were but they were very good. The date wraps were good. The hush puppies have to try them The only problem was the atmosphere. It’s a cross between a pub and a higher-end restaurant. taking all of that into consideration, yes we will return our experience was very good.
