Restaurants near Howard Johnson Inn Fullerton Hotel and Conference Center

Be warned…. This is al la carte menu concept. There is no platter for one person or combos. So i made my own combo for you. Short ribs - expensive but this is the one to get. Lots of fat but excellent seasoning, smoke flavor without overdoing it and tender. Excellent. Brisket - Ugggh. Unbelievably dry to the point it was hard to swallow. I assume mine was a one of but in good conscience could never recommend it. Talked to the waiter - he said it’s never like that and took it off Sides. I ordered the Mac and cheese. I received the corn. Then the mashed potatoes. Then the Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese was awesome. Potatoes were good. Corn was fantastic and fresh, sweet but I just don’t do corn much. Cornbread is the sweet type and insanely good. Atmosphere - I don’t know if this place has air conditioning or not but it’s 98 degrees and 97 inside. It’s extremely loud inside but some say that’s part of the character. Outside is the way to go. Service - waiter was nice but he should have noticed things weren’t arriving as I ordered or that the brisket was leather. He did take it off the bill. Highly recommend reservations.

We had an incredible experience at The Ranch Restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to Brian! From the moment we walked in, he made us feel welcome and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our meal. Brian was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave great recommendations. Every request was handled with a smile, and he really went above and beyond to make our night special. The food was delicious, but Brian’s exceptional service made it truly memorable. We’ll definitely be back, and we hope to see him again!

Absolutely phenomenal food, service and ambience. The agua chile was fire. The drinks were delish! Celebrated my boyfriend’s bday. Well done!

Andy was our waitress and she was absolutely excellent. She gave recommendations, answered all of our many questions. The ambiance and the food was amazing.

I dined with 3 friends we had never been here before and we were all delighted. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. The waiter Rav was helpful with suggestions on the menu. There is no alcohol in the restaurant but they had some very good and clever mocktails. One called Negroni came under a glass dome and when opened smoke poured from it. Very good and clever. I had smoked beef for my entree also under a dome with smoke it was really excellent. Another friend had the Tandoori Chicken which was amazing. Lovely experience and very affordable.
