The food is delicious, no complaints. Dealing with a take out order was swift and easy. The staff was polite and professional. This is my go to for barbeque. Had for both my and my father's birthdays and it was consistent in taste and flavor.

Delicious food and drinks in an old world setting
Sat outside on the patio. Heaters are great. Half salad with tritip was good small dinner size. Lettuce and veggies were fresh (definitely not from a bag.) Waitress was great with allergen issues. Bread is egg free. Excellent blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis.

Wood Ranch Barbecue has tasty food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere—great for a casual meal.
Best BBQ in the Area. Always consistent, always good. Two meats and two sides is our go to. Trip-tip & pulled pork are my favorite. The peanut coleslaw is amazing!

I had the beef ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies. Everything was perfectly seasoned. I could taste the work put into the meat. 5/5
Food took a little longer than I expected, but that's forgivable. Server was friendly and apologetic.

I’ve always thought this was a good local restaurant, but tonight made me a total loyal customer. I usually order the family meal for 4 for take-out for which is a killer deal (usually get 6-8 meals out of it) and a great way to feed your family throughout the week with a meal that tastes great. But tonight we ordered individual dinners for takeout. There was a small mixup in the order, so I called to let them know. The customer service was way better than I could have expected and even better than I have received at 5-star restaurants in the past. They resolved it so quickly & creatively, I was so impressed. I placed the order at 8/8 at around 7pm. I was frustrated at the beginning of the call, so I didn’t catch the name which is a bummer because I would have loved to mention them by name. But, I really want to thank you for the great customer service. I will be recommending YOU to anyone looking for a restaurant with great service. THANK YOU!

We have never had a good experience with this location for takeout.
We have always selected a pick up time for an hour out. Every single time they disappoint and end up waiting 20+ minutes past the pick up time, but today was the worst of it all.
Get there. Let them know I am there. And advised it will be out in a minute. Then proceeds to be another 25mins. Ask again and they have to look into it. Get home and the food is luke warm at best, and has to be reheated (mind you, we live across the street) the order clearly was ready and forgot about until asking for the order again.
How this place has the rating it does is surprising
The 24 hour slow cooked tri tip is the best! It is sooooo tender you can cut it with a butter knife.
Terrible service by Ashley. Requested sslad with dressing on the side. Salad came drenched in dressing. No drink refills.
Took our guests there. 2nd time there. Love the food. Excellent. Great staff and environment.
My Wife and I always enjoy Wood Ranch, the food and atmosphere are exactly what you look for a relaxing evening out from the work day, thank you!!!
