The Ram is a private, independent, family-owned and operated restaurant business.

Our brand grew further when we opened our first fine-dining dinner house in 1980. In 1995 we launched the Big Horn Brewing Company. By brewing our own ales and lagers, we are able to offer our guests superior quality, nationally recognized, hand-crafted beers at value prices.
