As many of you know Sandy Nidy slowed down in April of 2025 and Lacy and John Lowery took Ranch House Kitchen over.
Not because they needed to, but more so because they hated to see it close, they knew Sandy and I along with our family poured our heart and soul into it for 15+ years. The restaurant business is tough and will consume you before you know it.
Now as we fast forward to May of 2026 many of you know Lacy and John have a thriving business in Camp 11 Barns so they made a choice to sell the restaurant (which was the only realistic choice). The new owners are now open serving you with the new name The Pearly Plate. You'll still see some familiar faces there and you may even catch Sandy there every once in a while. Even though the Ranch House Kitchen is still active it will slowly go away Sandy and I want to invite you to follow us along and like our page as we continue our competition bbq journey Ranch House Kitchen Competition BBQ Team
