Bean Town across the street has a better selection of food for the same price. The Ranch used to be the place to eat in Fairmont, but prices have sky-rocketed and the quality and service has really declined. Usually a pretty good salad bad any time you go... but you really can't screw up a salad bar.

Walked in thinking, "the sign looks cool" and then I saw the mini figure scene and thought, "damn! This place is awesome!" But quickly realized I was in for a depressing realization. The food was what you might expect from an out dated Perkins. The place was a zoo and the the salad bar was a mess.

Have eaten here a few times and miss The Ranch that we used to have in Rochester, MN. They have Buffet and good place for Seniors and people with kids as this is a Down Home local type place.

The food is nothing to brag about and the pricing is not for a "bring the whole family" meal. The service was excellent, but the dated decor makes the restaurant looks dirty..it isn't but some renovations would be helpful.
