Beginning construction in the coming months, Ranch 45 is expanding their butcher shop and dining area, as well as adding a full outdoor kitchen, which will result in an additional 1,100 square feet, for a total square footage of about 4,500.

Building on the selection of meat cuts already available, Ranch 45 will also be able to serve full primal pieces prepared in a brand new USDA cutting room. The new space will also allow for a wider variety of beers and wines, more events and cooking classes, a separate area for the coffee shop component and public restrooms. The kitchen will continue to be led by the talented DuVal Warner and Aron Schwartz.

Gearing up for summer

In the beginning stages of a full remodel, Ranch 45 is also unveiling new brunch and dinner menus, Sunday afternoon barbecues, prepackaged meals available for pickup, and extended market hours.
