I refused to get a burger. I sat in a corner and immediately asked two ladies what their favorites, other than burgers, were. I already know that burgers are at a dreamy level of taste, so my rebellion was at full force. “I really like the chicken plate,” one of them responded without hesitation. “We will order it and share it.” When my server arrived, I asked him what is great that’s not a burger. “Either the chicken fried chicken or the chicken plate,” he said, as if he were being mind-controlled by the two ladies sitting near me. So, I succumbed and order the grilled chicken plate. I was already intrigued when it said topped with grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese. I also asked for the coleslaw and loaded mashed potatoes. When my plate came out, it was placed in front of me and I couldn’t see the plate underneath. It was covered with two small cup/bowls of coleslaw and the mashed potatoes, and there was some rabbit food on the side. But the main theme of this story took center stage... well, the full stage. First, the combination of Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms are foods from Paradise Island. I could’ve eaten this without the chicken. However, the chicken gave it a solid feel and had a wonderful flavor of its own. The taste from each of the four items that make up this plate could all be singled out and wasn’t in any way a mishmash of flavors. While Ranch House Burgers may be best known for their wide variety and creatively named, and prepared burgers, suddenly this dish shot to the top of my “oh my goodness, I have to get this next time too” list. The fact that two people picked this from a large menu carrying options for everyone says mouthfuls about this establishment. I walked in as a rebel and left as a sleepy and content genius. Now, where’s the nearest place to take a well-deserved nap? Ranch House Burgers: Visit Hungry
