Take Your Grilling to the Next Level This Season at Ranch 45 for Fresh Cuts of Brandt Beef and a Full-Service Restaurant
When in search of a San Diego dining experience like no other, the compass points north. Ranch 45 in Solana Beach takes your grill-and-chill night to the next level, providing high-quality, natural cuts with the option of dining in-house or bringing it all home to make your own. With delicious restaurant options offered all day long, choosing between dining in or hanging at home can be a toss up. The best way to get a taste of it all? Dine in any time Monday through Sunday (for breakfast and lunch) or dinner Wednesday – Saturday, then swing by their onsite butcher shop on your way out to pick up all the grill-at-home essentials. You’ve reached the haven of high-quality cuts—you’ll just have to supply the proper grill for the Sunday cookout.
For those who have been crowned household grilling champion, it’s hard to make a sit-down meal feel as exciting as firing up the grill at home. Make a pit stop at Ranch 45’s premium butcher shop to find a wide selection of top-tier meats guaranteed to impress every guest, from New York strip to ribeye, tri-tip and everything in between. Regardless of the cut, each one of their meats is of the highest quality. Take out the guesswork out of your next meal and feed up to four with a Marinate Your Night Box, stacked with a pound of Brandt Flank Steak and one pound of Brandt Skirt Steak complete with chimichurri, Carolina BBQ sauce and coffee chili rub. If you’re looking for a bit of a splurge, co-owner Pam Schwartz recommends the 45-Day Brandt Dry-Aged Ribeye. “Yes, it’s a splurge, but it’s 100% worth it!” beams Schwartz.
Ranch 45 exclusively sells Brandt Beef products, meaning that every animal on the farm is humanely raised, naturally and without the use of hormones or antibiotics. With quality meats you can feel good about, it would be a huge missed steak not to stock up—grilling season is in full effect, and you’ve got hungry people to impress!

Ready to let someone else take over the grilling? Treat your taste buds to full flavor and stay a while at Ranch 45’s full-service restaurant! Serving specialty dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, choosing which time to visit is often enough of a question itself—and your next challenge is even tougher. Choose from their menu of high-quality, farm-raised options: a housemade chorizo burrito for breakfast, grilled teriyaki ocean trout for lunch or chef’s daily Brandt Beef tasting for two for dinner are among the faves.
Schwartz’s favorites depend on the time of day, but the top options seem to always come right out of the butcher’s shop, which comes as no surprise. “For dinner everyone loves, the dry-aged bone marrow, veal Milanese and anything that comes out of the butcher’s case” are all can’t-miss options, she says.
A dining experience and a DIY smoked meats haven—what else could they possibly pull off? Believe it or not: events! Ranch 45 hosts several unique events throughout the year in accordance with seasons and holidays. “May is always a fun one!” says Schwartz. “We start with Cinco de Mayo carne asada kits, then move right into Mother’s Day with Brunch in a Box and then to National Burger Day with burger competitions between our cooks.” Other fan-favorites include their annual Mardi Gras crawfish boil, patio dinners on warm summer nights and Thanksgiving orders to-go in the fall. Holiday happenings and unique onsite events are constantly popping up, so be sure to check Ranch 45’s happenings page for all upcoming events!
