Reviews
One of the highlights of this place is the complementary garlic bread biscuits that you get. It reminds me a lot of the Cheddar Bay biscuits you get at Red Lobster, it’s hard to resist eating just one. We started our meal with the Shredded Onions and really liked them. They’re basically like onion strings and tasted a lot like a blooming onion. It was a great start to the meal. For my dinner, I chose the Full Slab of the Baby Back Ribs and honesty loved them. I think the ribs here are better than Chili’s and I would also say they are better than Texas Roadhouse. Overall Wood Ranch is always a solid recommendation and I plan to be back again many times in the future.
The service was top-notch. Our server was friendly and on it, and the manager even swung by to check in and make sure we were happy. They hooked us up with some extra garlic rolls to take home, which was such a nice touch. The vibe is cozy with a cool, rustic feel—perfect for a laid-back meal. If you’re craving solid BBQ with great service, this spot’s a winner. We’ll definitely be back!
Food: Woodranch is a good, decent BBQ place that serves its meats with a proper amount of smoke/char/flavor. Tri Tip is the go to meat to order but you won’t go wrong with the other meats. The sides are flavorful and make sense with the mains. Drinks are good and stiff enough for my palate. This fulfills my BBQ fix though I always long for places I used to eat in the South.
Service: The staff always provides good, efficient, and quality service. Our waiter Dre did an excellent job. I always had water in my glass.
Ambiance: Woodranch has a particular style and this location is no exception. Comfortable seating and the lighting adds to the environment. Extremely clean bathrooms.

Food: I had Tri-Tip in its smoked 10-oz goodness that satisfied my want/need/desire for protein. The baked potato was good with just butter and sour cream (you can get it loaded but it is fine when simply dressed) and the baked beans (sweet and spicy). I also had roaster cauliflower and a peach bourbon cocktail that was good. Raspberry margarita was also good.
Service: The service on the night we came was good and friendly. It was at the end of the evening when the kitchen was closing so felt a bit rushed but that wasn’t the staff it was an operational issue because we were there at night. No harm/no foul.
Ambiance: Woodranch style and character of a dark wood furniture and the smell of smoked meat in the air. Comfortable seating and clean bathrooms.
I ordered the BBQ chicken breast and smoked brisket with a loaded baked potato — perfection from start to finish. Pro tip: don’t fill up on those addictive garlic rolls before your entrée arrives… as hard as it is to resist.
Outstanding service, delicious food, and a great vibe. Can’t wait to come back!
