My son enjoys this place he's 15. He says one of the best burgers in our area. Nice neighborhood spot great staff.

First time and won't be the last!! Came with my sister, mom and nephew and it was such a fun and family friendly spot. Food: FIRST off, portions are big! And staff did tell us but MY GOODNESS. -huevos rancheros: tasty and delicious! -tacos plate: juicy and full (like with toppings and all) -Turkey club sandwich: this was GINORMOUS. The bread was toasted and sourdough which is SO good! I think if it was half the size tallness wise, it would have been perfect for me! -fries: YES. Perfect crunch on the outside and squish in the inside and good!! Service: -friendly, prompt, food was fast! -they have a self serve sauce area which is nice if you're a crazy sauce person like meeee Ambiance: -love the art around and how homey it feels! -we played a few rounds of uno too and it was doable and fun! Overall: It's nearby my nephew's Korean school and so will definitely be back :)

Very good food here. The service was great. Authentic ambiance. The first time I came here, the server said for me to try their Ethiopian breakfast, which I did today. I was not disappointed.

It's really the only restaurant near my barn so I go by often. My favorite meal is the tuna sandwich. They also have delicious french toast and a robust and tasty breakfast selection. I tried one of the vegetarian Ethiopian dishes and enjoyed it. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food so I went with the owner's recommendation and was pleased with my meal. It's not fancy - quite casual, friendly service, free and plentiful parking and a very mellow vibe. Good neighborhood joint to grab a bit after hanging with my horses.

What a unique restaurant offering a variety of cuisines including "Ethiopian, Mexican and American" in a ranch ambiance setting. Given Ethiopian is not offered in many locales, I opted for the Ethiopian chicken stew which was outstanding! Uniquely presented on a light pillowy pancake like bread intended to wrap the veggies, sauce, chicken and egg. Very flavorful and fulfilling. Many other options on the broad menu including burgers, sandwiches, Mexican and lighter fare, including daily specials. Plenty of parking, friendly and helpful staff.

Where to start?? Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating. Lots of Western and cowboy memorabilia to look at. Service was friendly and attentive. The vibe was very laid back. I'm sure it may get busy on the weekends because the menu is extensive and offers breakfast all day. Speaking of the menu, they offer Mexican/American/and Ethiopian food. What a combo right!!! Well the hubby had an omelette with hash browns and I had Ethiopian...spicy chicken and veggies on injera. We both LOVED our choices. I'm so used to fighting traffic and finding parking in the Little Ethiopia on Fairfax. But after today, when I want Ethiopian...I'll just come here. There aren't many options but what's available is great. I had the beef sambusa..it was underwhelming...since I usually get sambusa from an Indian eatery..but maybe this is what they taste like specific to Ethiopia. Next time I may try it with lentils. I can't wait to revisit! I definitely suggest you stop by and see for yourself

Can't decide between American Food, Mexican Food, or Ethiopian? Well, Ranch Side Cafe has a menu that, finally, includes all three! (This is always what the world has been waiting for.) We were in the mood for Ethiopian and with a complete lack of that genre of food up here in the Santa Clarita Valley we were delighted to find that Ranch Side Cafe, a one-stop shop for just about all foods, existed...we had a couple of vegetarian plates delivered and it was just like being in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax. How was this possible? We don't know, we were just happy it was as 6 different vegetarian Ethiopian dishes rolled out from the injera bread right on our table at home, ready for us to tear off pieces, scoop up deliciousness, and enjoy. The colors were beautiful...the portion size was great (2 of us each got our own vegetarian plate and it was more than enough.) And we'd definitely get it again! (Uness we wanted an omelet or burrito in which case were could also get those at this same restaurant. Why are there even other restaurants when all the possible foods of the world are available at this one? What a world!

Delicious Ethiopian food, better than little Ethiopia in my opinion! Been coming here for years. Run by two sisters and you can just taste the love they cook into these recipes! Have always loved the veggie plate but recently ventured to try the Ethiopian Chicken, and boy is it my new favorite. It comes with three veggie sides (default is beets, collard greens and cabbage, but you can sub) and two drumsticks and a hard boiled egg. The spicy chicken sauce is just delishhhh! Highly recommend. My husband always gets the shiro wat add steak. Taste like the steak is grilled and added to the Ethiopian sauce.

Ranch Side Cafe is a cute Ethiopian, Mexican American restaurant with plentiful healthy food choices, great service and inexpensive prices. Located near the Osborne canyon entrance of the scenic Little Tujunga canyon in Lake view terrace, this restaurant is an ideal place to stop before your biker and car club adventure. Notice the pictures of grateful motorcycle riders and car enthusiasts by the register! I made a special trip to check this place out when I read the words: Ethiopian, Mexican, American food. I had a hunch that I'd find something great and I was right. This restaurant offers dine-in, takeout and curbside pickup. I watched the polite servers help a customer carry a big takeout order and load up a vehicle with a big to-go order. This restaurant is a good choice for large family meals and big office orders. The interior dining room is warm, cozy and uncrowded with quant decor and pretty artwork. Regulars address the staff by name and have their usual dish started without words. "How did your great aunt's surgery go?" and meaningful talk transpired like a wonderful proof of the close family-like relationship with the local community and this charming restaurant. It's a beautiful day so I take a seat on the patio and order a sandwich and soda so I can take half of it to go and enjoy the canyon drive on the way home. Here's the beautiful story behind this restaurant which I can't wait to share with you: 25 years ago this restaurant was started by two Ethiopian sisters. In an effort to make sure the local community felt welcome, the sisters added Mexican food and American food per their customers taste while incorporating their subtle Ethiopian food favorites. This restaurant origin story reminds me of an ancient Ethiopian tradition which welcomes, fosters and encourages friendships which sweetened each bite I took of my awesome meal. The creamy chicken salad here is loaded with premium cashews and fresh herbs. It's mild, dense and filling. Where can you go to find Ethiopian vegetarian platter with gluten free injera, a family-sized portion of huevos rancheros for a weekend breakfast and a deluxe veggie, turkey or beef burger with fries times ten for your cool American motorcycle riders club? This place does. Free water bowels for your pooch. Free hand sanitizer for your safety. This place has it all. Inspired, I took half of my sandwich into the canyon and took some amazing pictures. Dear sisters, I called my many friends who live in the area and told them all about your restaurant. I know you'll take good care of them! I'm a big fan of Ethiopian food and hospitality. It's a great recipe to save the world with. I'll be posting pictures of your food alongside beautiful views. Thanks for the hospitality, good food and inspiration! One million stars sisters.:)******"
