A few hours into our roadtrip from LA to Napa, we reach The Harris Ranch Restaurant. Located in the middle of America’s breadbasket, which produces a large portion of our food source.
It’s not just a lunch spot but a resort destination. We loved the decorations in the main building, including this gorgeous chandelier.
I wish we were going home and could bring the fresh cut meat. Alas, we were enroute to Napa. Their country store was adorable. Only drawback, they had jams you could get at any country store. I prefer when destinations have things only specific to that region.
I love me some country music and some country decor. This chair is awesome.
The restaurant had comfy booths and kitchy decor.
I got the pot roast with mashed potatoes and fresh sweet corn. OMG. The food was sooooo fresh. I wish I lived on a farm and could eat like this everyday. The corn didn’t need butter–it was so tasty and sweet on its own. The carrots were yummie. The meat so tender. The potatoes dear God the potatoes.
And the cheddar biscuits. Sigh. I long for them.
This is what the resort looked like from the parking lot. There were several other building off to the side and behind the main building.
YUMMMMMMMMM XO
Whole new appreciation for farm fresh food. 🙂

LOL. 🙂
You are a mathematician as well 🙂 xoxoxoxoxoxoxooxox
I love equations–they follow the rules and are so calming to my mind. 😉
I love this one of a kind sort of place. What a great find.
It was all my friend J. He is the consummate trip planner. We also had the option to go to the Jelly Bean factory but we’d have had to get up really early. 🙂
Okay, now I’m REALLY hungry! 🙂
LOL. And it’s hard to find food that fresh too. 🙂
I have heard of this place but never visited. Can’t beat some fresh fruit and veg. It does look really nice.
It was very crowded when we went. Make a reservation otherwise you have to wait 15-30 minutes. 🙂 The freshest of the fresh. Wow. It was so yummie. 🙂
Food looked and sounded wonderful but I have to disagree about that chair, and I love things that are so bad they’re good, but the chair is so bad, it’s bad 😉
It’s definitely worth a roadtrip for the food. 🙂
Great pics. Nice ranch. Must hsve been fun.
It was a nice way to break up a long drive. The food. OMG. I will never again doubt the fact that farm fresh is so much better than store bought. 🙂
looks lovely. and the food looks great
It was a neat place to stop on the road. And the food was so worth it! They had delicious chocolate chip cookies baked fresh and to go at their shop too.
oooooo that is making me hungry!
Me too! I can’t look at that picture without wanting a good pot roast!
I do like to look at photographs of food. I need to go eat lunch now! Thanks for sharing.
I love to photograph delicious food. 🙂 Hope you had a good lunch!
Hahaha I did thanks. Nothing that looked as good as your photos, but it hit the spot!
How it hits your stomach is what matters most. 🙂
Excellent point 🙂
🙂
The essence of the US in a few well chosen photos?
Possibly. 😉 At least the western US. New England might not agree to it. ;P
Oh yum!!! The food does look delicious! Looks like a wonderful place for a pit stop. 🙂
Tasty and very American west decorations. A fun lunch stop and a nice way to break up the long drive!
