The food, service, and overall experience were great. All the food was perfect or close to it. The only thing negative I recommend about the food is the sweet mashed potatoes don’t pair well with steak. They were great though, but try them with something other than beef. Unless you sprinkle sugar on your steak, then have at it.

This place is awesome! My husband and I met at another Wood Ranch in Irvine nearly 8 years ago. So that’s a plus after many years, and even though the menu hasn’t changed we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Skin potatoes had a few bbq chicken pieces and raw cut onions- not a fan of that. Burger w grilled onions, tomato and lettuce was yummy. Fries were standard. Perfectly cooked medium rare and a nice bun. My husband ordered the brisket (slowly cooked) with steamed broccoli (a bit over cooked) and coleslaw (non-mayo based) super good and freshly made. Service was awesome by Alex. Enjoyed the blackberry pom martini. Recommend going here especially if you don’t want to wait an hour at Hanna’s lol Great date night place!

I placed an order and told them the time I would want the food ready by because I was going to pick it up later than 45minutes. Well when I pick it up the fries are cold so I sent them back. I ordered cake and ice cream and the ice cream was melted. The manager said she would take care of the ice cream and the fries. Well she did and I thought all was well but the mashed potatoes I discovered were dry when I ate them. She barely gave me a whole scoop of ice cream, leaving enough for only half of the cake. Also the cake was not cooked well enough on the inside. I spent so much money on my food I am disappointed with their service and the overall quality of the food. The baby back ribs barely had any meat on the bone. It was such a disappointment… I tried their “French toast” a day before today (last week) that was also just horrible. I regret the money I spent here and I do not recommend.

Great burger, and good peanut slaw. Only complaint was that our server didn’t check on us often enough – waited a little longer than I would have liked to putting our food, get refills, etc.

Wood Ranch Restaurant is a culinary gem that knows how to satisfy the cravings of any BBQ enthusiast. From the moment you step through its doors, the tantalizing aroma of smoked meats and the warm, inviting ambiance sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. Wood Ranch unquestionably excels in delivering exceptional BBQ, leaving guests with memories of mouthwatering flavors and impeccable service.

I spoke to the manager and she has explained the problems they were having that day. I believe her and she made changes to go here again and will return to this restaurant many times with the service and order accuracy that I believe is dead on!! I believe my previous experience was an “outlier” .

Food was good, but terribly understaffed. Server was trying, but was not available to fill drinks etc The floor was dirty, my glass had something thick and gross on the outside.
