Huge portions, good price. Family atmosphere and live music on a Saturday night. I enjoyed my meal. Service was fast and attentive. I had the white clam sauce with angel hair and bruschetta. For a single person it was way too much food, however i can see it good forfamilies and ordering to share.

Excellent food, excellent service, very loud, but worth it! The owners are extremely hospitable, its just that certain customers are very rude and very loud! It's definitely a place to watch sports and enjoy the food! It needs to be twice it's size- that popular!

The service was spot on, helpful but not too in your face. The minestrone soup arrived swiftly and was delicious. Cannelloni was just perfect. Served pipping hot with the pasta just right with super sauce and the cheese topping melted just right. I really did not need dessert but the cheesecake finished things off nicely! Highly recommended!!!

Usually we really like this restaurant, but tonight it was awful. Bartender, Sierra, never smiled at anyone and gave, at best, perfunctory service. She never said hi or any greeting other than â do you want a drink?â. The calimari was way less than it has been in the past (I guess they figure the sparse greens were a substitute) and it was delivered by someone who set it down, without a word, between me and a person next to me, when my wife was obviously on my left. We were so put off by the service, we left. Good service can make up for bad food, but good food cannot make up for bad service.

The first time I tried this place, with friends, I was very disappointed. I live-Yelped the experience, and while the many problems produced a funny review, it was funny in a tragic sort of way. So, we decided to give it another try. I'm not sorry I did, as now it's confirmed - this place can be awful. I'm sure other have had good experiences, but they're 0 for 2 with me and I'm done. Tried ordering drink specials to learn that they were out of ingredients, tried ordering dinner specials to be told the same, and the noise is just ridiculous. All in all, a waste of time and money. The poor server tried, but they're hampered by marginal management.

After several visits, the standards seem to be good. Had a beer flight, then a grilled tri-tip sandwich with garlic fries. The mixed drinks are light sometimes but beer is good. I've had good meals and average meals but never a bad one. It's a little loud but it is very festive for a foodie restaurant.

Reviewed By mraeoneill
The food was good, however, my fish and chips were served on a metal tray that swiveled on the granite tabletop. The tabletop was cold and so was my food after three bites. The manager was nice enough to take my suggestion to serve it on a hot platter not a metal tray. It remains to be seen if my suggestion meant anything. Screeching children were also an issue.

Beyond a doubt Wood Ranch has the best BBQ meat in southern California. Their Baby Back Ribs are outstanding as is their tri-tip. We have never had a disappointing experience. When we have family gatherings at the house we cater from Wood Ranch. The food is fantastic, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is inviting.
