Saddle Ranch Chop House

The Scene – During the day, families dominate this Western ranch-style restaurant. At night, a steady line of show-off singles pony up for the mechanical bulls. DJ's, karaoke, live comedy and rock bands keep the crowds cheering, as friendly, attentive servers weave through the rowdy room to deliver behemoth portions of comfort food. – – The Food – Like the original Sunset Strip location, entrees are big enough to feed two hungry people.

Always have fun!

by STaylor921

I always love coming back here. I have yet to have a bad time! The food is always good, and they're huge so 1 dish split is super do-able. The servers are always super nice and fun. I always love watching people ride the mech.bull. It is always crowded and they don't let you make reservations, so you have to wait for a table, but that's what bars are made for, right?! Everytime I come back here I always think of my first time coming here like 3 years ago when I first moved to LA. And I'm still having just as much fun as I did then!

PS - this time, we ordered their cotton candy dessert. Order it! (It's like 100 feet tall!lol)

Pros: food, drinks, hot waiters
Cons: crowded, no reservations

I will Pass!

by vivaciousdivah

Saddle Ranch is a popular hangout in LA and is best for the bar and the entertainment value of the bullriding contest and the singers. Other than that, the food is nasty, and its loud and rowdy on the inside.

Good Food and Girls!

by jtrujillo724

Man, this place was packed with so many girls! We had dinner and my burger was great. And the Adios was so big I only needed like 2 and I was set. After that we went to the club part and it was packed. The DJ was pretty sick too. Lots of fine girls! Only thing was, there wasn’t nowhere to sit in the club part. All the tables were VIP. But smoking and hanging outside by the firepits was perfect to talk to girls.

Pros: food, drinks, girls dancing

This is the place!

by m86m

This is the place to go to in city walk! Me and my boyfriend go on weekends to dance. Get the Mai Tai in the big cups! The one bad thing is you do have to stand in line to get in but it moves pretty quick.

Pros: Good music, food and drinks!
Cons: kinda long line

Good Times!!

by Artex

I went to Saddle Ranch last night and had a great time. We were going to get a table but the bartenders were so friendly and cool so we just planted ourselves at the bar and that?s where we stayed all night. Shared the huge sampler platter and we were so full we just ordered drinks for the rest of the night. Great times?will be back for sure.
