Rancho Steak House
Where: 61 Osborne Road Southsea, Portsmouth PO5 3LS
Rating: 4/5
Number of 'Excellent' reviews: 333
What the diners say: "We decided to give it a go and boy were we pleased we did. The steak we had was delicious and cooked to perfection as was the side dishes. The red wine was at perfect temperature and the desert plentiful. What really helped us have a great time was the lovey Lola who is such a lovely young lady. She served us with a smile. Had time to chat ensuring other guests were receiving attention and when the restaurant had quietened down Lola told us a lot about the area.
"We enjoyed our time at Rancho’s so much we returned the following night to try their Fajitas and they too were delicious and huge. Lola was again so nice to us and the other girls really friendly."
