Harris Ranch Resort - Coalinga, California

My husband and I have gone here somewhat regularly for the past several years. Originally the food was great. Prices were never cheap but they gave good portions and everything was delicious. But over the last couple of years things have changed. Portions keep getting smaller and prices have gone up. The last time I went I ordered the regular burger which is around $20. There was no wow factor. I could made a better burger at home for $5. I’m sorry but it’s nuts to do this at a restaurant that’s so off the beaten path. If they want people to keep coming back, make the food memorable and stop raising prices. I will say that they do have a decent kids menu which I appreciate, but the rest of the place isn’t kid friendly. Would it kill you to build a small playground for kids somewhere on your vast property? That would pull more families to the restaurant as well.

Room was clean and fresh. Bed and pillows were quite comfortable. Both of our breakfasts were super yummy (and we're picky about restaurant breakfasts.) I had the corned beef hash and my mate had the eggs and potatoes. Christmas decor was on par to what I've seen in upscale S.F. department stores. The staff make you feel well cared for. Location is great only in that it is a much appreciated haven at the half way point between Sacramento and Los Angeles with no other option at it's level, in an otherwise dirty, somewhat deserted landscape of dusty orchards and plastic covered farmland, with some pretty rolling hills in the distance. Wish I'd taken pictures of the lobby and boutique, they're be more impressive, for sure. Here's a couple shots of our breakfast lounge experience. So stop in, it's worth it.

Over the years we always stopped here for lunch or dinner when we traveled back and forth between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Great place to stop and relax. We usually eat at the casual restaurant. Food and service have always been superb. Harris Ranch is roughly half way between the Bay Area and LA, right off the freeway (I5).

Wonderful place to visit at Christmas time with all the Christmas decorations.

There are also a bunch of Tesla power stations in the parking lot (and a lot more across the street) for electric vehicles.

We love stopping here to grab a meal and charge our cars. It’s the perfect midway point from LA to SF. The restaurant is great. The burgers or anything beef is phenomenal. The service is great. Bathrooms are so clean.

The steak was great.You can order halal meat 72 hours in advance. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that the carrot cake was dry with too much icing. But the bakery looked amazing. Too bad you can't order deserts from the bakery in the restaurant.

My husband and I went there for breakfast. We noticed there weren’t too many people there as we entered the seating area. The waitress walked us way to the back of the restaurant where no one was sitting. I thought ok maybe other people would be seated there. Nope!!! We were the only ones seated there as I noticed other couples being seated towards the front of the restaurant. I felt isolated. Not sure why I was seated there. There were other tables and booths available.

Just stopped by for lunch, did not stay at hotel. Even with heavy holiday traffic the restaurant food and service were great. Always clean, always greeted, good food and service. The perfect stop between the Central Coast and Sacramento.

Drove 5 hours to enjoy a great meal relax enjoy the peacefulness and ambience. Halfway through enjoying my meal they put a family next to me and for the next 20 minutes the child screamed as loud as he could with the parents basically ignoring their little child from hell. Meal ruined left before finishing. As that type of ignorant parent is allowed in the restaurant
