Wait staff was so very kind and understanding. The food was decent. Everyone in the family tried a different dish, macaroni and cheese, a burger and fries, chopped steak, chili, and chicken tenders with fries. We all cleaned our plates. I didn't get what I wanted to eat when I walked in but it was still a good meal and experience.

Sadly this was our 5th-6th timeshare & extremely disappointed. We usually always order the prime rib which at best was medicore. The onion rings were certainly not hot nor the type we have eaten in the past. My prime rib the queen cut was not medium rare nor even warm. What we looked so forward to a date night after have a full spine fusion. My hubby's tilapia was soooo salty & fishy tasting

Not only does Tyler make the best prime rib in the entire county of Milwaukee. But he had great bartenders to serve the food. Todd, Evan, Dawn great employers that strive in community. If you don’t believe me show up 2 weeks in a row and they will know your name. When it comes to service it’s family. If you want the best deal of your life. Come in on a Tuesday and have one of those three serve your a beer. And the best prime rib of your life. I’m telling you it better than your old lady after a boozing night.

We’ve been there many times for fish fry but tonight I thought I would try the prime rib wrap. It was absolutely amazing. A generous portion of prime rib ends wrapped in a flour tortilla and surrounded by Swiss cheese. I will definitely have this again.

Standard faire bar fish fry. Sauce tastes like mayo with s whisper of pickles. Do appreciate the slice of bar lemon. Would be better if it was sliced angular so you could squeeze it on the fish.

Finally found a good prime rib in Milwaukee at a reasonable price!! Have tried other restaurants that were tough. Not at this place! Meat was tender and delicious! I recommend 10 oz size, it was very large.

Best old fashioned I have had at a restaurant! Loved it and very low priced. Nice bonus!

Service was slow. We were there near the end of the night. Maybe that’s why. But we never got the ketchup we asked for and no soda refill.

Plain burgers are a fantastic price for teenagers who want more than a kid menu.

Very large dining hall.

Will definitely return! Soooo good!

Best prime rib in the city. I've been here a few times, so I decided to take my family here for Mother's Day. Out of this world. My mom loved it, my wife loved it, I loved it. Great food, great service.

Great food and atmosphere with a miserable server. I basically paid to deal with someone who obviously hated me.

From the start my server even though seeing that it was my first visit awkwardly waiting to be seated "allowed" me to find a table with no suggestion or guidance. Awkward, but not why the service was abysmal.

After finding a table, she got somebody to turn on the hockey game i was interested in, and service began. I had gotten a table for two as I expected my boyfriend to arrive not as late as he had and ordered a cocktail that was fantastic actually and cheese curds, which were unique and delicious. The issues began after this.

I suppose because I was expecting another, she became neglectful of my table. Only asking if I wanted another cocktail before I was ready to order, she did not look at my table for the next 15-20 minutes. I had to ask her as she attempted to walk past my table once more without looking to order my entrée which was a tasteful raspberry habenero set of wings. Maybe the public disconnect frustrated her to which she decided to end on crude terms or why she thought it was funny to interrupt me drinking so that I would choke trying to converse with her.

After finally putting in my order, service continued, and my boyfriend joined me. After that, he decided to order an appetizer I was eying, which was also good (the deep fried pickles).
As a past server I was frustrated with the neglect from prior but understood she's here to work and that I could look past it and still decided to tip 20%. One issue though is that she did not concern herself to inquire if the check was to be split.

The finale of it is what proved that I had paid to be berated. After tipping a more than reasonable amount (digital payments by the way), she decided to return from the kitchen and call me a man in front of everyone without even looking at me. Normally, this wouldnt bother me as my whole life, I've dealt with this growing up in poverty, unable to treat my medical disorder from birth. But the way she decided to end the night was childish and more than unprofessional.
Am I to carry my bloodwork around with me to show that I'm just a medically defunct person, or do you think people who act like this would ever waver at the truth that I am female? As said before, I'm accustomed to people behaving like this and understand that maybe she has ptsd like many women I've met who do this, which i more than understand.

That's it. It's a fantastic spot with great food, drink, and a southern feel that reminded me of my youth in Texas. I paid $30 dollars that night and regret a single penny I gave her. It's not that I wouldn't return, it's just I don't have time to deal with adult children such as Samantha P.

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place that feels like grandmas cooking!!

(Reservations aren't needed, we just wanted to be prepared in case they got busy. I ordered the Stacked BLT, and everyone else ordered prime rib I believe. Came out delicious. The prices are decent, not everyone is super expensive. Service was great, our waitress was cool.

We came for the Easter brunch. I definitely didn't eat $42 worth of buffet, and dessert wasn't included in this cost. There weren't any breakfast items on the buffet. Bloody Mary's and mimosas were good and priced at $6. I love this place for a regular meal, but $42 wasn't worth it.

The sandwiches are great. Onion strings are tasty. Take advantage of specials. Best old fashioned around. Very reasonable.
I would highly suggest that the restaurant invest in shelters outside the doors. The money they would save by decreasing their heating bills would pay for the shelters. Every time the doors opened we experienced a blast of cold air.

Food was good. Service was good. My only complaint I'd that I ordered a baked French onion soup to go. The waitress put it in a bag on the table. I forgot the soup on the table. I phoned the next day asking if perhaps because it was not left overs but a to-go soup, if it had been put in the refrigerator rather than the trash. Nope. Said that they would not keep it. I reiterated it was a to-go soup not a doggie bag and was told there was nothing in the refrigerator. My fault for not remembering to take it but to dump a to go order was disappointing.

The beef barley soup was very good on a cold day. The tenderloin steak special was very good and done perfectly. However my tenderloin steak sandwich was incredibly small served on a hamburger bun. The meat was very sparse and stringy. Service was slow due to obvious understaffing. The bartender brought a beer to our table to avoid having it get warm which was appreciated.

3 1/2 is what I would put if I could. The staff are usually great, the food is usually pretty good - some dishes freakn amazing, but today was really disappointing. Ordered the Tuesday special - chicken Alfredo for $16, cajun as suggested on the menu - but added mushrooms and jalapeños. Apparently the few shakes of cajun sprinkled on top of completed dish is an additional $3 charge, and mushrooms were $3, jalepenos were .50. Expected a charge for the last 2, but was surprised at $3. I did ask the waitress about it, she said the machine only has certain options that are already priced, then her GM came over as I wasn’t understanding. Deducted a bit and offered a cocktail. Again, staff are usually great!
The $16 dish itself is (slightly) watered down mac n cheese with a bit of chicken breast. Monday must b mac n cheese special? My $22.50 meal was terrible, but a risk you take when trying new things. Come here, give them a try they are worth it - but stay away from the chicken alfredo.
BF’s burger was great

Have had no prior bad experiences here. I showed up tonight with a birthday guest to have a good night. However, the entire bar was extremely hot, and our entire group was visibly sweating. We asked to either open the windows or put the thermostat on. Instead, Dawn decides to make a sarcastic comment that "we should learn how to run a bar". Completely unacceptable behavior from Dawn.

SHOCK AND AWE on Easter!!!!

Two weeks ahead of Easter Sunday, I phoned Joe's K Ranch, to see if they were open on Easter and, if so, to make a reservation for 10 people (9 adults and 1 child).

Did the employee who answered the phone mention that it was BUFFET ONLY on Easter? No. Did that employee mention the buffet's price? No. (Both are very important and should have been spelled-out.)

Twice in the run-up to Easter, an employee of Joe's K Ranch phoned me to confirm the reservation. Was BUFFET ONLY mentioned during either phone call? No.

When we arrived on Easter Sunday Sunday, was there signage or any other indication of BUFFET ONLY? No. Only when we were seated and did not get menus did that become obvious. Then, it was too late.

Would I have made the reservation knowing that it was BUFFET ONLY? Absolutely not! Rarely is a restaurant's food at its best with a buffet. Very rarely. And this was NOT one of those rare occasions.

The variety of buffet items was not extensive. Food preparation was far from special.

That said, if the price per person were in the $20-$25 range, I'd have shrugged it off with "Live and learn." But here's where the SHOCK AND AWE came in: $42 per person! Yes, you read that correctly. $42 per person! That may be the going rate and justifiable at an elegant, renowned supper club, but Joe's K Ranch is NOT elegant, NOT renowned, NOT a supper club.

Our food-only bill came to $378. And then, to "add insult to injury" as the old saying goes, there was an automatic 20% gratuity Which came to $78.60. The server did not take our orders, nor did she bring our food. All she did was bring two pitchers of water, a couple baskets of bread products . . . and the check.

The final bill, with tax, came to $496.75, just a few cents shy of $50 per person . . . with NO DRINKS!

I was at Joe’s K ranch for a shower recently. We were in the back room with a pretty busy group, but everyone was seated at the tables when the food was coming around. The first staff that approached our table rudely told us to “make room there’s way more food coming” as we were still trying to finish up our salads. Granted the food was served family style and we did need room there are definitely other ways to politely ask a table to help clear their area. Each time that server approached she continued to have an attitude and it felt unapproachable . The next server was asking us to finish/place the last piece of chicken on a plate so she could put a new full plate down and the people at my table were still eating so it was a bit forced/awkward to grab a new piece. I’ve worked in the service industry for years and the whole time I felt like a bother to the servers. Typically I am an understandable person, but this entire experience was supposed to be a happy time yet hindered by this rude service.

Great service.
Very good steak (cooked to correct temp) juicy and tasty, cheese soup tasty, salad good, baked potato good. Big menu, lots to choose from.
Chilly inside, moved away from the doors, but had to keep my coat on.

Went to Joe’s for the first time today. My husband and I had excellent service, a friendly server, and the prime rib and bone-in ribeye melted in our mouths! 10/10 will go again!

The prime rib here is bigger, better, and thicker than any other restaurant you'll go to. Fish fry is excellent. The rest of the food is so-so. Service is ok. Nothing over the top but not bad. Average.

Service was terrible. The male hostess was talking to all his regulars as he were in process of seating us. He asked how many and then we waited and watched him speak to other regulars. If your not a regular don't waste your time. My chili was cold too.

This place is the best!! Petey is the ABSOLUTE greatest bartender you could ever ask for. He has the best jokes, plays bar dice, and pours the best drinks. Will not think twice of where to go for drinks and food, the answer will ALWAYS be Joe’s K Ranch :)
