Rancho Steak House in the heart of Southampton transports diners to the cowboy state of Texas, with its authentic, hearty cuisine and superb ‘Wild West’ ambience. A vibrant frontage draws diners in to this larger-than-life restaurant, where the atmosphere is as good as the food.

Inside, wooden walls create a barn-like effect and cow prints line the backs of chairs, adding flair and charm. Big open grills guarantee the authenticity of the food, and ensure you get that real chargrilled taste you’d expect from your steak or burger. The menu is extensive, so there is no need to worry about being limited to steak – a range of seafood and salads are also on offer, including impressive house specialities like whole grilled sea bass in a dry- rub marinade of paprika, oregano and garlic. For more adventurous diners, who want to try a bit of everything, you can opt for a combination such as the ‘Trio Rancho’ – a concoction of tenderloin, sirloin and rump steak, served with either chips, rice or baked potato. Accompany your meal with a glass of wine, or try one of the fruity cocktails to liven up your evening. This spacious restaurant can cater for large groups so is ideal for dinner with friends, with enough choice on the menu to please everyone. Rancho offers excellent, high-quality food without the heavy price tag. With steaks starting at £8.95 and burgers at £6.95, you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a thoroughly good meal.

If you’re after deliciously hearty food in a warm and relaxed environment, Rancho is the place for you. Popular with locals, this is one of the best steakhouses in Southampton; and another restaurant in Southsea, Portsmouth, means your opportunity to indulge doesn’t end here. Whether popping in for a quick lunch or dining with a big group of friends, you’ll find great hospitality and great food at Rancho.
