Wood Ranch is our go-to restaurant for celebrations or just a good meal. There is a variety of menu items, all delicious, reasonable prices, and excellent service. Weekend nights can be crowded, but it’s worth the wait. It’s best to avoid this by enjoying an early meal that beats the traditional dinner crowds.

Wood Ranch has some of my favorite food selections in general. The best bbq chicken, peanut coleslaw, beef ribs, these ribs are leaner & less greasy but still good sized. Hamburgers & salads are really good. "Rolls!" This particular location is the best, everyone working is friendly seem happy to be there and they refill my drink without me asking. They're on top of thing here.

Came to Wood Ranch for a quiet birthday dinner and honestly it was perfect. The chicken was spot on, super flavorful and cooked just right. Service was next level — our server Calvin was awesome. Dude was on it the whole night. Never once had to ask for anything, drinks were always full, food came out quick, everything just flowed smooth. Easily the best service I’ve ever had anywhere. Food was great, vibe was chill, and everything about it just made for an outstanding meal. Big shoutout to Calvin and the Wood Ranch team, you guys killed it.

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed this spot yet, but better late than never!!! One of my ALL-TIME favorite spots to eat when I'm in town. I'll eat there 2 or 3x while in town. I usually sit at the bar and order an espresso martini. I love that the bartenders remember me even though I only come every couple of months. They are fantastic, love their energy & vibes! I've ordered a few different things off the menu, but I always go back to the classic steak and loaded potatoe! Everything always cooked perfectly and fresh! Love the fresh garlic rolls too!
