The Ranchero

The Ranchero is iconic. There aren't many restaurants that you can go to that your parents went to when they were kids, and this is one of them. Their recipes stand the test of time, and the photos on the wall just give you a small taste of their historical importance. When I was a kid, on Friday nights, sometimes we would get to order food from the Ranchero, and it was always a treat. My dad always ordered a Jumbo Fry Burger (that's a chili cheese burger if you don't know) with onion rings, and I always got the same thing. Their chili cheese burger hasn't been bested by any one that I've ever tried, and their onion rings are the best on the planet. Other places just can't hold a candle to it. Over the years, it seems like we ended up there for every special life event... Birthdays, graduations, weddings, after football games, and funerals, and we have always been treated with the utmost respect and been given top notch service. I'm so glad that they are still there serving Clarksdale their fantastic food, and I'm glad that I am able to share some of my fondest food memories with my children. Thank you so much for the love and hospitality, Chris and Bonnie! I can't wait to see you again!

Love Ranchero! My wife’s father in law has been going for 10:00 coffee for more than 50 years. They have taken good care of him for all these years! Lots of pictures around the restaurant.

Great place to get barbecue food and other southern cuisine. Tailored to our work crews while traveling for hurricane work. Great employees and wish we had southern hospitality up north. Thanks!
