    Food was 10/10. The burger was amazing. The patty was so delicious. I can taste the fine ingredients. The fries were also delicious. I encourage you ti order the chipotle ranch. Gives a bonus to the burger. Service was super friendly and prompt. Ambiance as you can see in my pictures was amazing. I sat in the patio section overseeing the lake. Breathtaking.

    Potato skins from happy hour menu

    If you have a group of four or less, the key is to sit in the bar area to get the Happy Hour, which has specials daily from 3 pm - 6 pm. In the bar area, there are seven tables of four as well as a bar top that can accommodate approximately 14 people. So if you have a small group, you can score and get some great deals on food and alcohol. The bartenders are all awesome. I have had the pleasure of being served by Erica, Julia and Cynthia. Erica has been at the location since 2008, one year after its opening. She is super friendly and loved chatting everyone up. Julia knew so many people by name. I came in recently and before I even sat down, Cynthia remembered my cocktail order. That is a huge bonus in my book. All women have fantastic customer service. I started coming here in a regular basis and really enjoy seeing them. Happy hour had some great options in both food and alcohol. I am a hard liquor drinker so I order the Berry Smash with vodka. It is $2 off the regular price. For food, my go-to's are garlic parmesan fries, spinach and artichoke dip and shredded onions. I recently tried the brisket tacos and they were amazing. There is just a tinge of spice. If you are a fan of meat, you have to try the baby back ribs. The meat falls off the bone went you take your first bite. The sauce is sweet and sticky. Amazing. All are on the happy hour menu. I decided to try the brisket taquitos on my most recent visit. My first taste I fully dipped the taquito in the peach habanero barbecue sauce and that was all I tasted. Couldn't taste the brisket or mashed potatoes in the taquito. My nose immediately started runny. I do not do well with spice. It had good flavor but I had to change to only the sour cream. I think it would be better with an avocado cream. I love that everything is finger food. If you are looking to be dainty and clean, this isn't for you. I bar also eaten the three slider bbq tri tip with sweet potato fries for my dinner. I don't think I have e eaten anything bad here. It can get a little pricey but come during happy hour and you will be OK. Also really like that there is a lot of parking so you don't have to fight for a spot. I love this place. The customer service is top notch. The food is excellent and the drinks are fantastic. I would definitely consider myself a regular customer.

    I came to Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill this time, and I've been to a few of their other locations too, like Chino Hills, so I already know what they're capable of. Honestly, most of the time the food is amazing and it's been one of those places we could easily make a monthly go to spot. That said, this last visit for dinner just didn't quite hit the way it usually does. The steak was a little tough, and the corn reminded me of the last time we came when it was kind of hard. Nothing terrible, just not what I'm used to from them. We also ordered a couple of non alcoholic drinks, those were actually really refreshing. I don't want to be too hard on them because I've been coming here for over ten years and I can honestly say I've never really had bad service. They're usually really on top of it, and the food is consistently good. I love the beef ribs, and my partner always goes for the baby back ribs, and normally everything, especially the steak, is on point. This time just felt a little off. Maybe it was a different cook or something changed with their meat, I'm not really sure, but it stood out enough to notice. Still, I'd definitely come back and give them another shot because overall they've always been solid. One thing I will say, if you're planning to come here, try to get here before the dinner rush because the wait can get close to two hours. That probably says a lot about how good the food usually is. And the bread is always a win too.

    Here we are checking out another restaurant in the Corona area. I've been to other Wood Ranch locations so everything looked familiar to me. We were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server was friendly and courteous. I ordered a brisket sandwich that was pretty tasty. Wood Ranch always gives me a cozy warm vibes. It seems to be doing well while many other chains have scaled back and closed stores. I wish them well.

    Butter cake that is amazing!!!
    Shannon C.

    My pulled pork with smashed sweet potatoes and asparagus was delicious. I ordered a margarita that was as just ok. I ordered a second drink, a blueberry pomegranate martini, that was very good. The only problem was that even though I ordered the second drink while I was eating it didn't come out until all the food was cleared. At that point I didn't really want it. They need to be more prompt when bringing out the drinks. My water glass was empty and it took a while to get more water. The system of using two people for each table is not efficient. My food was brought out way before my partner's food. That was not great considering it was Easter.

    Fire BBQ Place, have visited the Glendale location and loved it so was happy to visit another location. Our server was super friendly and visited us frequent to fill drinks and check in on us. The food was amazing and didn't even get a chance to take pictures of it. The place was busy but location was staffed well and service was amazing. Would def come back again.

    Passion Fruit Tea. Ask for the raw sugar it is so good with it.
    Charmaine B.

    This is our regular eating spot when no one can agree on what we want to eat. They have plenty of items to choose from and the food is consistent and good. Downfall it's pretty much everyone has the same idea so if you are coming for dinner or lunch be prepared to wait. Once you sit down your food comes out pretty quick. I can't remember ever having bad service. They have a decent size waiting area outside with a fireplace that is nice for keeping comfortable. Other things you may want to know is if you are a cold person like me have them seat you closer to the front. They have a nice outdoor patio and during the fall and winter months the tables in the back get a cold draft from the doors opening and closing. My normal go to is the Beef Ribs, Tri-Tip and the Tri-Tip Salad. I love their passion fruit tea and will take it home to go on to go orders. This visit I ordered the BBQ pulled pork I was using the garlic rolls and made little pulled pork sandwiches. Portions are large so a lot of times you will take home food for the next days lunch or dinner.

    Chicken quarter, tender and juicy, creamy mashed potatoes
    Glo B.

    Service was excellent as was the food, better than the last time we were here. Chicken was juicy, burger was huge, brisket tender and flavorful. Ice cream sundaes for the birthday guests.

    Over all the place and food were decent I have been here several times with family! The only thing I am very disappointed is the tri tip slider the tri tip was very good cook just right tender good because I have the sauce on the side so I can control of how sweet but VERY DISAPPOINTED with the veggies onion bell pepper came with slider was way too salty just like I ate only salt ( the cook need to give room for customers if we want more salty we just add salt ourselves instead of the cook loaded with salty stuff and the other dishes like brisket was way too dry. But the potato's skin was good.The tri tip salad and Asian salad were good as long as keep the dressing or sauce on the side. I forgot take photos of all the dishes. The baby back rip was very good as long as sauce on the side. Chicken was good! The waiters and waitress are very good services!

    2 beef ribs, Mashed Potatoes, Mac & Cheese
    Amanda C.

    Good not great. The food is expensive for what you get. I ordered ribs and they were almost well done. They were not juicy or tender. They were just ok. The tri tip was super fatty. Not much flavor nor meat. The macaroni was fine. The potatoes were fine. I'd rather go somewhere else for the price. I prefer my meat medium rare and everything was just over cooked. The service also took way too long. I had to serve myself water because the waitress was no where to be found.

    This location next to Dos Lagos is hands down my favorite Wood Ranch. It's one of those chain spots that can sometimes be a hit or miss depending on the location but this one consistently delivers. The restaurant is clean, the service is solid, and it's always packed (which is a good sign). Came here for dinner with family and everything hit the spot from the ribs to the brisket, and of course, that free bread. The wood-fired meats here really add that extra layer of smoky flavor that takes everything up a notch. If you're out in Corona and craving American BBQ, I always recommend this spot. It gets busy, so make a reservation if you can, but even if there's a wait, it's totally worth it.

    Baby Back Ribs Mac n Cheese Loaded Mashed Potatoes *this wasn't the full rack or full side portions because we shared...
    Al B.

    This was probably the best time I've had here from the service to the food! We came in for a nice date night looking for something to fill us up and a change of scenery! There were still a few tables of people enjoying their night and several people at the bar. Got there about 7:30pm or so and sat at the open seating in a booth at the bar. We were met quickly by several staff members within a few minutes welcoming us in and asking us for our drink order. We had a Cadillac Margarita and a Modelo Especia! We started off our night with the bbq chopped salad and added tri tip! The greens were fresh, corn was roasted perfectly, black beans added an excellent creaminess to the salad and the cilantro added a very nice herbaceous taste! We also ordered the full rack of baby back ribs with Mac n cheese and loaded mash for our entree. Everything was really good. Going from a night where I really didn't know what I wanted to eat to an excellent meal that really satisfied our hunger and flavor profile! The bartenders were great and very attentive and we enjoyed the energy of the dining room...it wasn't too loud or busy, but it was still very lively and an overall comfortable night! This isn't always a regular choice but after last nights experience it definitely moved up on the list for becoming a frequent spot to visit! We were very happy with everything. Looking forward to the next time and we will make sure to leave room for dessert! See u soon!

Bryan was our server and he gave us incredible service; he treated me and my girlfriend like we've been friends for years. I felt comfortable immediately and the atmosphere was relaxing and alive. I ordered a beer and a cocktail. The beer was poured perfectly and the glass was clean, the cocktail was refreshing and bright. We started with some apps, the crispy rice tuna and watermelon tataki and both were fantastic. The crispy rice was a perfect little bite and nailed the texture and spice, while the watermelon tataki was so unique, fun and delicous. For mains, I got the NY strip with potatoes au gratin and my partner got the steak salad. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and had a wonderful balance of peppercorn seasoning to match the balance of fat and meat in the cut. My partner loved her salad and felt that the balsamic was balanced with a hint of sweetness so the dressing wasn't too acidic and bitey. The steak for her salad came on the same plate and was a filet which meant she could enjoy the steak and salad together instead of getting a cold meat or warm, wilted salad. Potatoes came as a little side and were layered perfectly and topped with a sauce that reminded me of a thin alfredo sauce, We finished with the mango coconut pana cotta which was bright and refreshing after a rich meal. Not too sweet or heavy but full of flavor. During our meal, the General Manager, Ignacio made sure to stop by our table (along with all the tables) just to check in with us, make sure that service and food was up to snuff. He had a friendly rapport with his staff and shared some anecdotes about himself and Bryan and left us smiling just before our steaks arrived. I definitely wasn't expecting to be impressed but the food, vibes, decor were all excellent. Oh and the bathrooms were CLEAN! Remember folks, if the bathrooms are dirty, the kitchen probably is too! I would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Moving on the the actual food. The bread is AMAZING. It was served warm with honey cinnamon butter. The bread itself had a slight cinamom sweetness already, adding the butter spread makes it even more addicting. Worth the calories, asked for more during the meal and packed some home as well. I will 100% come back for just the bread at least. For entree got the fried catfish for $21 and it came with 4 pieces with 2 sides (picked house salad with made in house honey lime dressing and baked sweet potato). Everything is a bit pricey cuz it's a steakhouse, but the food tasted fresh and according to server almost everything is made in house from the marinated pork ribs down to the salad dressings, which was actually pretty good. Had a taste of the table's ny steak order and it was pretty good so might go for that next time... and/or their ribs... p.s. Don't forget to ask for peanuts!
