I've been going to Wood Ranch since 1992. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I like to sit at the bar where service is always fast. I love almost everything but don't miss the slaw (with nuts), the baked beans, and the buns. It's almost worth the trip just for the buns. Helpings are very generous and service is great. My only complaint is that I don't like the chicken there. It always tastes dry to me, but others don't seem to feel that way. But the tri tip and bbq are great!

Visiting from Virginia, I was unfamiliar with this chain of about 16 locations in Southern California. I found it just searching for good restaurants near me. I was pleasantly surprised at the service on a busy Thursday night. The manager came over and offered me a complimentary sample of a dish I was unfamiliar with, the "tri-tip," and he and the other staff were terrific. I ordered the salmon, which was great, and was impressed that this is a well-run place. Even though it was busy and I was alone, I got a table immediately. Definitely will come back. Large booths would work great for a business lunch or dinner.

The food is nothing impressive the meat is difficult to cook it right because the tritip is to thick, the salads too small and the food in general very marginal...

Great bbq and salads always busy unless you go at off times- be prepared to wait. Good service and my favorites are the peanut Cole slaw and smashed sweet potato sides. Salads are all good.

grab a quick bit for lunch after a little small getaway trip and really enjoy WR BBQ the garlic bread and the meal we had was amazing looking forward for another meal...
