Theme Restaurant With A Good Vibe
Saddle Ranch is definitely a place to see tourists, drunk frat boys, baby boomers in heat, colorful locals and tourists interacting thanks to the benefits of demon rum. Although it's on the Sunset Strip, Saddle Ranch is not exclusively for nightlife and tourists. It also has a lot of locals who are fiercely loyal to the restuarant. It burned down a few years ago and was packed on the first night it reopened.
Some of their food is kind of blah but most of it is good and the portions are HUGE. (I asked for a small slice of chocolate cake oncel it was about 3" tall and a foot long. No irony here; it was that big.) They have a lot of specials, particularly BBQ. It's definitely a meat/meet market. Despite all of this, I have always had superlative service by genuinely nice staff (it's hard to dislike anybody giving you free drinks and quart sized margaritas.) Whenever I drive by, it's always packed with cars and people having a good time. Oh, and definitely stay to see the first drunk hop on the bull.

good for tourists and sex-crazed twenty-somethings
Okay, so the food is averge in way-too-large portions. The drinks are strong enough to knock out an ox. But the bartenders are often cute, and the place has the general feel of a meat market. I tend to recommend it for bachelorette parties, girls' nights out, or young tourist friends in town. Other than that, there's nothing else of interest than to get drunk and watch the even drunker chicks trying to ride the mechanical bull.

Of all the Sunset Strip bars, Saddle Ranch is one that’s all bull. Known for its mechanical bull riding contest, the restaurant and bar is a favorite among tourists and former reality show contestants looking for down-home fun and huge portions. The brunch menu can cure any and all hangovers with its selection of mouth-watering pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and $9.95 all-you-can-drink mimosa and Bloody ...

Best known as a wince-worthy cattle call for current and former sorority girls and the current and former fraternity brethren who love them, this Sunset Strip megabar has a secret. The food is good. Sloppy four-dollar rides on the mechanical bull are far less frequent during daylight hours, whento many an Angelenos surpriseSaddle Ranch serves a large menu of surprisingly tasty and cheap food. We were ...

Tips About This Business
What to Drink

Beware of the large-sized cocktails--like the margarita served in a fish bowl.

Valet is free before 4pm. After that, the crowded lot is still your best bet on Sunset. Remember to get validation for discounted rates.

In Short Straight outta "Urban Cowboy" comes this ranch-style theme restaurant. Early hours, the crowd is a mix of families and happy-hour revelers, but after 10pm, the restaurant morphs into an intense pick-up scene. Mammoth portions for cowboy-sized appetites suit a late-night pig out--like mountains of potato skins, mini-cheeseburgers and fried barbecue wings--while main courses include ...

Yes, there is a mechanical bull here, and people wait in line all night for a chance at 60 seconds of glory. There are also bales of hay, carafes of alcohol, and none of (well, less of) the normal Sunset Boulevard snobbery you may find in other popular venues on The Strip. The outside of the Saddle Ranch looks like an old-west saloon straight off the set of Deadwood , complete with mannequins of ...

VIOLENT, DISHONEST STAFF!!!!
brought to you by
Citysearch
My friend and I were assaulted by saddle ranch staff after being accused of vandalizing. My friend suffered broken ribs, a concusion and muliple head injuries after being slammed into the ground for questioning their allegations. They are shady, violent, aggressive and corrupt. The west hollywood sheriffs are in their pocket as well, don't bother calling them they will not help. If ever attacked ...

Annoying staff, annoying crowd
brought to you by
Citysearch
The Saddle Ranch on Sunset in West Hollywood might as well advertise as a fraternity party. The patrons are noisy, rude, and annoyingly drunk. Most amusing are the swarmy guys circling like vultures looking for the right girl to pick up. The girls tend to be the only ones on the mecho-bull -- with absolutely no talent for it. And the staff are too busy to be friendly. Outside, the staff will ...

Amazing service, so friendly, great big portions, un-Hollywood
brought to you by

I ate at Saddle Ranch twice while in Hollywood and I have to say that this place is an oasis in the middle of Hollywood's scene. The staff is so friendly and all have great personalities. What is surprising as well is that the food comes in huge portions and is fantastic! No fuss, good service, a refuge. Highly recommended.
