Summary of Saddle Ranch
Yes, there is a mechanical bull here, and people wait in line all night for a chance at 60 seconds of glory. There are also bales of hay, carafes of alcohol, and none of (well, less of) the normal Sunset Boulevard snobbery you may find in other popular venues on The Strip. The outside of the Saddle Ranch looks like an old-west saloon straight off the set of Deadwood, complete with mannequins of women of a certain occupation. Among the many films and TV shows filmed here was an episode from the first season of Desperate Housewives. Midriff-baring college girls, new-to-L.A. transplants, and tourists are the main clientele. This is a huge venue with even huger meal portions that, provided you’re a meat-lover, should get you drooling: ribs, steaks, burgers, chops, biscuits, seafood, and chili for starters. The sheer amount of food may help absorb the alcohol from the Saddle Ranch Mai Tais or the killer Texas Tea Parties (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, sweet & sour, triple sec, and Coke). In fact, you might want to consider sharing drinks with a partner because one specialty drink runs $14.50, not including tip, and the waiters are quite friendly so you’ll want to include tip. There are twelve beers on tap, including Guinness and Dos Equis.
