The Ranchero

Steak, Barbeque

Nelms Mitchell started the Ranchero Restaurant in May, 1959. It started out as a one-room concrete block building. At first, Nelms catered almost exclusively to a teenage crowd. By 1976 almost 20 years later,it had become the place where the same teenagers brought their families. The Ranch(to which the Ranchero is often referred) just seemed to grow up with those teenagers. Through the years. The Ranchero has not only has it earned a reputation for outstanding food and a great place to bring the family. It has also become a picture gallery and a museum of sports memorabilia. The Nelms Mitchell family takes great pride in those items brought in by their local customers who enjoy sharing their memories with other customers. Come visit us and stroll through the restaurant enjoying the treasures and priceless memorabilia of the Ranch's customers and loyal patrons. We offer a full catering service to meet your entertaining needs. Let us make your next party or function specials.

We eat at the Ranchero approximately 3-6 times a month. No matter if we are using a restaurant.com coupon or simply paying cash we get the same customer service and quality of food. We use a coupon about 1-2 times out of the 3-6 times a month we eat here. The prices are great and the food is amazing. Ranchero has the freshest salad bar around. Our servers are usually Mrs. Bonnie or Mrs. Phylis. Both are great. They talk with us and we have the best time with them. Whenever we have friends come to town we bring them here to eat because the steaks are so delicious as well as everything on the menu. If you are ever around you have to stop in. We always order the onion rings for our appetizer. Look forward to trying a new appetizer next time.

When ever I visit Clarksdale, MS, Ranchero is a must stop. Not only is the food great, the service is equally as great. The staff is the friendliest ever... And the owner is one of the Sweetest and considerate person ever.. She's always got time to speak to her customers and make them feel like they are appreciated. Their rolls are the best

Same place has been cooking for over 50 years. That speaks for itself. 100's of eateries have opened and closed in this town during that time span, so it shows that the Ranch is doing it right!
