The Ranch House At Choctaw Preserve

Beautiful place for a fabulous culinary experience. the cook is great and our waiter was great. they also have the best **** maria in the country!

The food from appetizer to desert was awesome! The short ribs are the best anywhere!

If you take the scenic backroads just 30 minutes north of McKinney, The Ranch House is a pleasant surprise in Bells Texas. The restaurant has a natural and organic Texas elegance with genuine gracious Southern hospitality by the staff. We started with the Stuffed Eland Meatballs and Cilantro Shrimp as appetizers. I especially enjoyed the whimsy of the chili spiced popcorn that garnished the shrimp. WOW to the grilled pear salad with perfectly balanced fresh flavors. For the entrees, we chose the Bison Short Ribs and Filet Mignon. The smoked and grilled fingerling potatoes were amazing as a side. For dessert, we had the signature banana bread and beignets. All was perfection. On the way home, we discussed which friends and family we would take the next time so they could enjoy the experience. Definitely worth the drive for the superior food quality and creativeness, friendly service, and peaceful views.

We found this online and thought we would try it. We were very impressed with the place and the food.

In our lunch party of three one had a cheeseburger, and the others had the venison burgers. All three were delicious. Service a little slow due to the chef was also the lone server. We really didn't mind though.
