    This was our first time at the restaurant. The hostesses were extremely rude. They seemed very put out. They should not be welcoming people into the restaurant. Our waitress was really nice, but seemed like they were short handed. The food was below average and extremely overpriced. One person ordered the mac & cheese that had zero flavor and it was $36. We will not be going back.

    We’ve been long time Jackalope guests. There have been a lot of positive changes, but many fundamentals of service are lacking. We waited a half hour for our drinks and still hadn’t received appetizers or a second drink option an hour into our visit. Our server was lovely but clearly run off her feet. It’s so important for servers to be educated on allergens. She did not know what had gluten and what did not. She tried her best to get information from the chef, but there was a lot of uncertainty which automatically changes the experience. We tracked down another server who was incredibly helpful and put in our second drink orders. The busser, who brought waters, was so considerate and shared stories of how he sees so many drawings left behind by kids and they can be saved. Definitely suggest he becomes a server! Our kids’ food was good but expensive for what they received. Best ambience in the Valley but just wanted an enhanced dining experience.

    We waited a short time to be seated. The restaurant was very busy, but in spite of that the service was excellent. We sat outdoors on the patio and enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a bit quieter outside. Everyone enjoyed the food, even my 2 year old grandson. We were celebrating a birthday day and shared a desert at the end of the meal. We would definitely go back again!

    We realize it was a holiday and it was busy, but we waited over a half an hour after our our reservation time to be seated. And then it took quite a while to get served water and our beverage order taken. The food was great, but it is now getting a little pricey at Jackalope Ranch. We have dined here often and We love the ambience.  We have dined here often and we love the ambience

    Neat place to visit. The food was ok at best. The service was just OK. Took a long time just to get water. Once we have the severer to the table, he was great personality wise, but we had trouble getting him back to the table though out the evening.
