The Ranger Station

This place is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend the beet salad with a chicken skewer side. It was one of the best I've had. It was plentiful with greens and other add ons. The chicken was perfectly grilled, tender and juicy. Try the Picnic in the Park cocktail. It's refreshing and delicious as well as very visually appealing. My friends said their shrimp skewers were fantastic. The presentation in a mini cast iron skillet was great. They are pet friendly with a nice outdoor area to sit. All staff were attentive and friendly.

Had a great time at the Ranger Station! Came here for some beers and ended up having a few cocktails because Brandon, Bartender, was mixing with such passion that I couldn’t pass up his take on a old fashion. They also had live music, the trio certainly added so much joy to the ambiance. Highly recommend stopping by.

The campy theme is mildly amusing, but the primary thing I noticed about the atmosphere was no A/C, which in this heat was an obvious disappointment. Bartender was short tempered and unhelpful. Pointed to a water station with a degree of contempt that seemed out of keeping with the request. The menu felt unnecessarily pretentious. Who makes a Cesar salad with kale? I opted for fries as the safest bet, but it turned out not to be. This food would have to aspire to mediocrity. The fries were bland and needed salt. They were served with what was purported to be ketchup, but had the texture of marinara. The "carne asada" taco special came out after a much longer wait than the preparation suggested, and was delivered - not with an apology - but with a snotty " Well, it's a one man show back there, so." From the waitstaff. Once served the contents of the taco were smothered in what seemed to be barbecue sauce. Not what the name implied. They were hosting a "Geeks Who Drink" trivia night and seemed overwhelmed by the influx of patrons. It's not clear whether this is a recurring event, but if so, better preparation in terms of staffing would seem warranted.
