Well stopped to eat and we all had different things, this location hit it out of the park on all the food. The only con is that the chicken breast was a little chard for my sons taste. I had ribs and tri-tip it was great. I recommend it. The wife had the salmon with asparagus. She mentioned that vegetables had no taste, but fish was fine. The kids loved their food, cheese burger sliders, and mac and cheese. Overall, great food!

I moved to California a few months ago and have been trying out a bunch of new (to me) restaurants, and I've been craving some good barbecue for awhile. Upon recommendation from a friend, I checked out Wood Ranch and the food was amazing! I took my mom here and we split a full rack of baby back ribs, which were delicious! Tender, juicy, and the BBQ fantastic. I highly recommend. I also had their spicy cucumber margaritas, which were also perfect! Great place for lunch or dinner.

Perfect place to order take out for friends after a court victory! Great deal for tri tip & ribs with all the sides. The tri tip here is sooo delicious and they pack it up with everything you need. Next time I'm dining in!

I normally get the sea bass but they were out so we tried the salmon. It was just as delicious! It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was nice. Wood Ranch never disappoints.

The food was great, I got the Carolina Pulled Pork with Mashed Potatoes and Corn on the Cob and the pork was full of flavor but slightly dry, the corn was great and so was the mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The garlic buns had a strong garlic flavor and deflated in your mouth but they were good. Our server was friendly and the table was clean when we got there after a 30 minute wait.

The Cesar salad with salmon is great and the old fashioned cocktail is outstanding. The garlic rolls accent the meal. Any woodranch location is highly recommended. Excellent service and wonderful atmosphere. Thank you.
