About Us

Prime cuts & live fire

“Prime cuts and live fire, inspired by the bounty of California.”

The Hero Ranch Kitchen is a neighborhood steakhouse built around a woodfire grill. Every dish celebrates prime cuts and live-fire cooking, paired with the freshest seasonal produce from local farms.

Reclaimed wood, tufted leather and chandeliers inside, a heated patio out front, and a menu that runs from a 1/2 lb Black Angus burger to Mishima Reserve wagyu.
