The Scene – This big, family-owned country restaurant, nicknamed "Grandma's Groaning Board," has operated near Plant City practically unchanged for decades. Longtime fans of the Branch Ranch fast a bit, so they're really hungry when they arrive. Leaving all pretense of self-control at the door, they eat till the last morsel of peach cobbler and the last drop of sweet tea is gone. It's about 20 minutes east of Tampa, and makes a pleasant excursion out of the city. – – The Food – Great bowls and platters of fresh, homemade vegetables, relishes, and meats are served…

I am sad to see such a wonderful place GONE !!!!

I have eaten at this restaurant everytime I went in that direction and a few times even made a special trip. I can't imagine anyone not liking this restaurant. I just wish it could have remained open and running the way it was back then. I know it seemed a bit pricey but when you look at all the items you got for the price it was well worth it...I am so sad to see this restaurant go away - maybe they will reopen it someday. Branch Ranch thanks for all the great years you spent here with us.
- Pros: I loved the family Style Dining and atmosphere

They had such good food. A potpie actually came with every meal. I couldnt' believe how much food they gave you. ! They do sell their pickled items and jellies for delivery though!

Excellant Food!

I would give anything to have Branch Ranch still in operation! I would be their #1 customer. Having grown up in the area and dining there many times, I loved everything on the menu. Enjoyed the country atmosphere and seating arrangements. All of the veges that came to the table for sharing, were excellant! And the relish tray was to die for!! I still order the pickles today and reflect back on the fond memories I have. The Coconut cake was my favorite dessert . I would take it home as I never had room after all the scrumptous food. Probably the Fried Chicken was my favorite of all the entree choices. Maybe one day, some family member or other person, would re-open the establishment keeping everything the same. I would be one happy camper!!!
- Pros: Loved everything about it!
- Cons: None
