BAR-Ranch Steak Company - Plano (TX)

5 /5 Shaik Taher Ullah: Amazing experience! I took my parents for dad’s birthday last year and we loved every bite we had. Mom mentioned she would rather have salmon to which the team went above and beyond to accommodate her request. We were amazed at their level of care. We left happy and full to say the least

5 /5 Jeff De La Torre: Our steak was cooked to absolute perfection — no questions asked, which I personally love. There’s only one proper way to eat a steak, and they nailed it. While the lack of a formal wine menu was a surprise, Lane stepped in with a fantastic recommendation at a modest price point. We enjoyed it so much we ordered a second bottle. Chef Spencer absolutely slayed every dish. Being in such an intimate venue, with a full view of the kitchen and the chance to meet both the chef and owner, felt like stepping back in time to a simpler, more genuine era of dining. The whole experience was super enjoyable by my standards, and I would definitely recommend it. Worth noting: we first discovered them at Chef for Farmers, and only later learned they had taken 2nd place — a well-deserved recognition.

5 /5 Marilena H. Carrera: This steakhouse came highly recommended and it absolutely lived up to the praise. From the moment we arrived, Laine the owner, was attentive, and genuinely invested in the experience . The food was exceptional, with a steak cooked to absolute perfection—flavorful, tender, and expertly prepared. What truly elevated the evening was hearing the intimate story behind the restaurant’s conception, adding heart and authenticity to every bite. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience. A place where passion, precision, and hospitality come together beautifully

5 /5 Valerie Vargas: Wow! This small, intimate craft butcher dinner is UNREAL. The flavors touched every bit we tried. High marks for the Waygu steaks, cut to order, delicious salads and sides (complements) - and the bread pudding was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Note - they cook over pecan wood chips, if you have a nut allergy.

3 /5 Min Park: It was… fine. Our server mentioned it was the first day of the new seasonal menu, which meant the A4 Wagyu strip with the black wagyu BMS 11 we were excited for was no longer available. Not a huge deal, so we opted for the Australian ribeye Delmonico course meal instead ($415 for two). On the positive side: the salad was refreshing, the steak tartare was nicely done, and the sides were excellent—especially the brussels sprouts and potatoes. The highlight of the evening, though, was the bread pudding. Absolutely phenomenal, a must-try. Unfortunately, the ribeye itself was underwhelming. While well-seasoned with a nice smoky flavor, it was unexpectedly chewy for a high-quality ribeye and arrived lukewarm. This was my first time trying Australian wagyu (I’ve had Japanese and American before), but I didn’t anticipate toughness being part of the experience. At $415, it simply didn’t feel worth it. Service was polite but fell short of what I’d read in other reviews. I had noted in our reservation that we were celebrating me being cancer-free, and while I didn’t expect much, even a small acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Perhaps it was overlooked, but at this level of dining, small touches of hospitality make a difference. Overall, it was an “okay” evening. But at these prices, I was hoping for something more memorable than okay.
