I realized after the meal, this was a franchise so for what it is the food is decent. Decent as in its fine, it can be tasty. The brisket was unseasoned the ribs were cool a tad fatty for me, the potatoes was very very dry naturally even adding condiments still dry, brocoli and Mac was good but got cold in like 1 minutes. On the scale of 1 to 5 for authentic bbq it's a 3 for me. Service was fine, nothing above nothing below. Probably won't return but it was fun for what it was. Thank you !!!

Slade was an amazing server. We had the sirloin steak, brisket , tri tip and beef ribs along with the mash potatoes, roasted broccoli, roasted brussel sprouts. The garlic butter rolls just melt in your mouth with a strong garlic flavor. The brisket was delicious and super moist. The tri tip was full of flavor. The sirloin was a little tough but the beef ribs were absolutely amazing. Eric the manager was extremely nice. We found street parking there was no wait everyone was nice and helpful. The restrooms were clean. Ten out of ten totally recommend this location.

I had never tried this place so....we did now! The interior is what you would expect from such a restaurant. Its a very casual place, with clean and simple decor. The menu is not too big (big menus=not fresh food) and the food is what you would look for at a typical BBQ and grill spot. I had the Tri-tip and loaded baked potato, the mini-sliders, the BBQ chicken, regular baked potato, and the Mac 'n Cheese. The part that shines the most are the meat dishes, the sides are a bit so-so, with the Mac'ncheese tasting very American-cheese-slice-forward. The sliders were pretty darn good and so eas my Tri-tip, maybe it arrived a. It more than medium, but ok. Overall it's a great place for the family and casual meals, the prices are pretty good too.

Very good food. Lot's of BBQ options and some non-BBQ fare as well. Good cocktails and a decent beer selection. The garlic rolls that are served with the meal are a great starter. This visit we ordered beef ribs, pork baby back ribs, and an Asian chicken salad. Both the beef and pork ribs were tender and delicious with a nice smoke flavor and good sauce. The Asian chicken salad was very satisfying and flavorful as well, we were worried that ordering a salad at a BBQ place might be a misstep but we we very pleasantly surprised. For dessert, we had the peach crumble which was served warm with a vanilla bean ice cream...it rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was excellent...prompt and attentive...and our server had such a welcoming personality. We visited on a Friday night during peak dining hours so the place was busy, but we never felt forgotten or neglected. Parking in the area can take a little patience but it's worth it. A great dining experience.

Great food & service. I gave atmosphere 4 stars because it's so noisy (like so many places). I had a House Salad, Baby Back Ribs (5 bone slab), Mac & Cheese, Corn on the Cob, followed by Peach Crisp (no cobbler). All delicious. Very attentive service. I was very happy.

The hostess was very pleasant and welcoming and we had our table after a short wait. Julia greeted us with a smile and was incredibly friendly. It was a nice way to start our 10 year anniversary celebration. She got our drinks and brought the most amazing looking rolls. Then quickly took them away because we told her about our keto lifestyle. It was a sad moment because the rolls are amazing but I am glad that she took them away fast and with a smile. Our orders came out quick, correct and she made sure to check on us even bringing us one last refill for the road. All in all it was a great experience so thank you Wood Ranch but more importantly that you Julia for the great service. Ps I have to say that my steak was a perfect rare and I am also thankful for that.

Eating at Wood Ranch was a great experience from the warm garlic buns to the very cold delicious beer. Our server Pearl was very attentive and constantly asked how we were doing. The food was good, but the Asian Chicken Salad was much better than the Buckeye Burger. The ranch dressing is one of the bests I’ve ever had. My only complaining is that the restaurant is located in a very busy street, so eating outside at daytime can get very loud.

Great amount of space, love that they have designated parking, and benches to sit at while you wait. The Mac and cheese is al dente which is firm in a good way. Everything was to my liking. Would absolutely return
