Wood Ranch is our once week rib place. The staff here is excellent. We usually get the ribs and fries with their salad. The salad is unusual and delicious with fresh ingredients and grilled corn thrown to give it a real southern taste. Earl is one of our favorite servers, but they are all good.

Just had my birthday here. The food was great. Obviously recommend the tritip. Waiter would walk by at speed so we were flagging them down. Fair value. Decent service. My mom called in and told them it was a birthday when we reserved but the waiter didn t know apparently. Great time all around. Try the buffalo trace bourbon.

The service here is what made the experience. We went in after the lunch rush with our autistic daughter.

The servers here were excellent they expedited our daughters lunch made sure we had everything we needed.

It was Fathers Day and we had reservations for our group of seven. We were seated promptly on the patio as per request. The staff was very attentive and answered any questions cheerfully.Às our dinners arrived, we were all ready for some tasty; B-B-Q. Everyone agreed that; the Baby Back Ribs, Tri Tip, Brisket and all the Vegetables were great!!! I ordered the Ribeye Steak along with one of my sons. We both found it be very Salty!!! Believe me, Ill not make that mistake again. Other than that, I found the steak to be of good quality and taste. Do me a favor and leave the, Salt in the cupboard.

We had 4 in our party. We did not have reservations, but it only took 15 min or so to be seated at 6pm on a Saturday. We were seated next to the bar so it was kind of loud. Our waiter was good and checked on us often. Everyone thought the food was very good. I had the tri tip, the others had the ribs. No complaints on the sides. All of us had alcoholic beverages and the final bill was around $175.

Hit and miss, We have ordered from Wood ranch for years. This year for Mothers Day the quart size sides were exceptionally small ( new containers ) and not the quantity advertised. The roasted Broccoli , I threw out. Unfortunately for this day it was a miss for us . Disappointed at best for this Mothers Day family lunch.

Place was jumpin! Great service. Only reason for 4 stars on the food is because the beef ribs were served charred, too burnt to enjoy. But they did get me a new pair of ribs, and deducted the ribs from the bill at the end even though they got me new ribs. Great Peach Cobbler as well, steamin hot! Highly recommend.

Had the BBQ chicken breast w/the roasted broccoli & smash sweet potatoes. The chicken was very moist. The roasted broccoli however was burned & looked like charcoal briquettes. Sent it back for steamed broccoli which was ok. However our server was Earl and hope that you are seated in his section. Over the top in service and he brought a nice ice cream treat for a birthday celebration. Great job Earl !

Review №103

My family just likes to pick this up when we want decent BBQ, no hassle, and picked up. Considering everyones schedule and worklife, we havent sat down here since 2019, so I honestly cant tell you anything about the current staffing, quality, and ambience. But I can tell you a lot about online. You will never have cold food unless you missed your time window. Always hot and fresh and never skimping on utensils either. Your car is going to smell like hot parsley and garlic, take that as you will. Humor aside, food has been very reliable but Id actually agure the price is becoming difficult to wager since this isnt like a smaller brand of BBQ where your bang for your buck is in a different rationale. I sort of wince on check out considering the bulk of your meals value (for you in taste and filling) actually comes from the carb heavy sides which compliment the meal. In other words, I actually think their salads, Mac c cheese, and massive loaded potatoes to easily be the hilight over the chicken and even brisket. So why go here? Its reliable, but its that good reliable in that the (at least online) service is great, youll always have something youll actually love on the menu, and its consistent because of that wider presence as a So Cal chain. Youll still have for little food coma, I assure you. My strongest advice is the Asian salad, bright, amazing vinaigrette, always fresh, and as a very hesitant eater, this was surprising! Happy Dining.

Service was great, ambiance was quiet Mello and dark..my favorite. Food was great, the chicken sandwich was superb, I paired it with sweet potato mash. The mash was overwhelmingly sweet, would benefit greatly from a chili of some sort or some sort of balancing spice.

Very well worth the drive! My family has been here numerous times. All the times weve gone weve always had consistently great food. The meat is always tender and flavorful. I would highly recommend Wood Ranch over Lucilles. Not to mention the portions are generous despite the economic troubles of the 20s.

What has happened to the quality of the food at Wood Ranch!! My husband and I both ordered the brisket combo plate, it came in small strips on our plate and every piece was full of fat and gristle, it was hard to chew any of it! I finally had to tell the waiter if we could exchange it for the tri tip which was better but still somewhat chewy! Been going there for years but if their quality of meat is this bad we definitely won t be returning!

Wow, Wood Ranch quality has fallen. At least here at this one, they were not short-staffed and we never saw our waitress once in between ordering and getting our meals. All three of us were out of water by that point and were not able to order the other drinks that we wanted. Once the food came, brought by the manger, not our waitress , the peanut cole-slaw and brussel sprouts were both great but the burgers were overcooked, the mac-n-cheese was dry, and the chicken was tough. We didn t see our waitress again until we had to ask another server for the check. So we were not helped from the point that we ordered until we were ready to pay and leave. This was the worst service I have ever had in a sit-down restaurant.

Wood ranch is one of the few restaurants mostly unchanged from pre-covid. Food is still awesome, and the service is great, and other than the higher menu costs like most places, it is sane as before. Love going here. Went in November 2023, and it was the best tritip i have ever had!

Steak was ok compared to previous visits. 2 of us had Brussel sprouts. They were so undercooked the we couldnt get a fork into them. They made us a second batch and they were just as bad. They ended up getting us asparagus to go. It was better but still not quite prepared right. Guess whoever was doing vegetables that night wasnt experienced enough.
