On this day DiDi was due her 12K checkup, which South Sound Honda said was 5 hours long. So at 1000 hours I dropped her off at the service department and and met my buddy Gery for a bit of bike drooling and lunch. After an hour of driving to the various shops in the Olympia/Lacey area and checking out the motorcycle selection we headed into downtown Olympia and the Ranch House BBQ. As a side note, during our travels I spotted 2 other BBQ joints that my GPS doesn't know existed. Eureka! More BBQhunter travels ahead!
Taste: It didn't take much convincing (OK......no convincing at all was required) to choose the lunch special. A BBQ beef brisket sandwich, hotlink and 2 sides. We chose the slaw and beans as my previous visits has brought me to the realization that these guys really know their sides. We also ordered a glass of Whistle Pig Hefeweizen from the taproom to go with lunch and it was a great beverage to enjoy with BBQ. The brisket sandwich was piled high with savory chunks of brisket with a kiss of sauce. The hotlink was juicy and very flavorful with grill marks that gave it a great "just off the BBQ" look. It was split lengthwise and served on top of the sides like it was a garnish. Nice touch! The beans were spicy and sweet. The slaw was crunchy and had that great honey dressing. A very deserved 9 stars. You were really hitting on all cylinders this visit.
Value: 32 bucks for 2 identical lunches. Not bad. We were both pretty darn full walking back to Gery's truck. 9 stars.
Staff: All cylinders were firing in order here too. The gentlemen had us quickly seated, served up some ice cold water and had our Hefe back to the table lickity split. We no more than had started to sip at the brew when our orders were whisked out to the table. He was very attentive and made sure our lunch was to our liking. 9 stars. Very well done!
Ambiance: Maybe it was the cool overcast day that put visions of a broke air conditioner out of my mind. Maybe it was spending the day with a good friend and a great lunch. I know getting to do some window shopping for bikes (with the exception of the dirty feeling I had leaving the Yamaha shop) had me in a great mood. Somehow being a hotel bar with a BBQ menu didn't just to seem so important this visit. 7 stars. Not perfect, but today it didn't matter.
Friends: Another one of my associates has seen the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel that is the Ranch House BBQ. I can't say much more than that I am looking forward to my next visit and another convert to your place. 9 stars.
Overall this visit was great. Your staff and food were top notch, as usual. My question is, When are you going to complete the experience and get out of the hotel? 9 stars and well deserved.
