Ranch*1 - Woodland Park

Haven't been to this location in a long time so decided to try it. There were about three different parties waiting and no one was at the front. When the gal finally did come she apologized and sat the party in front of us. Then the manager came and said there was only one server that day and the wait would be about 15-20 minutes. The party behind us left since they had small children. We had no problem with the wait and Kat was our waitress, well she was everybody's waitress. LOL. Had to give her props, she did an excellent job. Our question was why didn't the manager help out? Maybe that's not the way they do things there but we felt a little sorry for poor Kat. But she was at her sweetest and most efficient self despite waiting on all the tables so she should be commended for that.

In the 90 's Ranch One was THE BOMB. It was THE BEST chicken sandwich in NYC. Living in NJ the last 16 years, I thought there were no Ranch Ones here. I will NOT spend my money at Chik-Fil-A, so, no chicken sándwiches sandwiches for me.Then, while taking a little trip down memory lane, I decided to Google it and I saw that there IS a Ranch One on 46, SO CLOSE to my house!! Why didn 't I know?I called and ordered for my family, and the employee on the phone (Hector was SUPER friendly and SUPER helpful. My husband went to pick it up. The chicken was every bit as delicious as I remember, it was the best salad I 've had in a year, and it was SO MUCH FOOD that we put away a ton for the next day. And it 's perhaps the cheapest place that we 've gotten takeout in a long time.Small drawback: the menu says they sell chicken-by-the-piece (breast, wing, thigh... but they actually don 't any longer. A bit disappointing for me because over the years I developed celiac and I can 't have a sandwich. But I had a grilled chicken salad, no biggie, it was delish.Bigger drawback: the sign does not say Ranch One on it. It took my husband a very long time to find it, and we had to call them for help. There 's picture of the exterior on Google Maps, showing a Blimpie 's sign above and a Ranch One sign below (not the usual company logo, just the words , but the Ranch One part of the sign is gone now. When you see the Blimpie 's sign, that 's the ranch one (like when Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins are in the same store .

We used to bring our family here often but, after not coming here for several years and entering again for the first time in a long time, I was disappointed. We visited on Sunday 10/18/20 at around 3:30 pm so whoever was the lady at the front door should be retrained immediately! This lady was so damn rude to say the least. It was a party of 4 and we had a baby in a stroller. When asked how many of us we said 4 and she looked at us at tho we were retarded and looked down at the stroller and re-asked the same question in a rude manner! We again said 4 and a baby... she literally pointed at each one of us counting 1-2-3-4- and 5 pointing at the baby! And just walked off and just said follow me. Took us to our table and when we aked could we have a booth she ranted off stating we couldn't have a booth because we cant have the stroller at the end of the table. We asked for a high chair and she wouldn't give it to us either just kept ranting off in such a negative and rude tone. She put down 5 silver ware on the table and just walked away. Didn't explain to us that we had to scan the barcode on the table to view the menu. Literally just walked off and left us sitting with no explanations regarding the new way to order due to Covid-19. The food was absolutely bland. The re-fried beans taste and looked as though they were re-fried and re-fried several times. The food just looked like it came out the freezer and slapt on the plate and heated in a microwave. My fish tacos tasted like frozen Mr.Gordon's fish sticks the chipotle sause was missing. The whole meal was just upsetting. It was truly a waste of time and money coming here and i will 100% never, ever step foot in this place again and will never recommend this place to anyone EVER! If i were management the lady at the front should be replaced. Her manners were completely unprofessional and set the tone to an unwelcoming place.

Great party sandwiches! The Italian and tuna sandwich is great!

This is a Ranch*1 and Blimpie in a shared location. The food was a bit different than all of the other Ranch*1s that used be around NYC. The fries were different and the bread was different (maybe because of Blimpie? The classic grilled chicken came with lettuce, tomatoes and roasted red pepper sauce on it already (instead of just Romaine lettuce and sliced almonds and it did not taste like it was marinated with the classic recipe. It was still good, just not what I had expected.
