                    My family celebrate special events at Rio Ranch throughout the year. My husband and I host friends occasionally here too. We really enjoy the atmosphere. The food is really good and the service is consistently exemplary.

                    It’s been more than 15 years since we dined at Rio Ranch and while we loved the old menu, the new menu offered a good variety of interesting options. All four of us got something different and everyone enjoyed their selection. It’s a shame people haven’t discovered this gem nestled just inside the Beltway. I would suggest the West Houston community add this to their list of dining options. We drove in from the Cypress area and it was well worth the trip.

                    Food was cold, not a great selection on the salad table, macaroni and cheese was dry. The dessert table was ok.

                    Like everything in life, it’s the details you encounter along the way that define the experience. During our visit yesterday, we found the following: Beautiful facility. It makes you feel like you’re at a ranch in the middle of Texas. • Very friendly and helpful staff. Everyone was welcoming and eager to help ensure the best experience. • Some of the food was very appealing and nicely presented. • The mac and cheese was cold. • The omelet station was good. • The wedge potatoes were hard and needed more cooking. • The dessert station was okay but could be improved with some in-house desserts. • The bread station was very good, with all offerings baked in-house. The same approach should be applied to the dessert station. • The mixed vegetables should be prepared differently. I would not mix very soft vegetables with harder ones, for example whole carrots with zucchini. After sitting in the heat of chafers, the zucchini becomes mushy. • The carving station was the highlight of the room. The prime rib was excellent. Overall, the value paid versus the experience left us with a less than positive impression. I hope this feedback helps improve future events.
