Our Story
A Vestavia Hills favorite with two worlds of flavor
For years, Ranch House has been a loved, family-owned fixture at Columbiana and Massey Road — known for hearty Southern breakfasts and a classic meat & three lunch. When the Makarios family — the same family behind Makarios Kabob — brought their Greek and Mediterranean cooking to the kitchen, two worlds of comfort food came together under one roof.
