Wood Ranch is always great! We made a reservation, and we were notified via text that our table is ready just as we were arriving! Very nice! The food is great as always. We all depend on Wood Ranch for consistent food quality and good service!! It's usually crowded so I like to make an on-line reservation each time we go. read more

First time back at Wood Ranch near Stevenson Ranch in years. Had it picked up to go and kept it simple with the kids' BBQ beef rib plate just to see where they're at. Glad I did. It comes with one rib, mac and cheese, rolls, and BBQ sauce. I'll be real--I was hoping for two ribs--but the one I got was tender, flavorful, and done right. Nice bark, juicy inside, and the sauce didn't overpower the meat. Mac and cheese was solid, and the rolls are always good--first time for someone with me, and they definitely didn't go to waste. Everything held up great even as takeout. Clean plate. No leftovers. This did exactly what I needed--reminded me why this place has the reputation it does. Already looking forward to coming back and doing a full meal next time. read more

Wood Ranch Valencia - Kids' BBQ rib plate with mac and cheese, roll, and sauce -- simple and done right. - Barbeque Near Me - Stevenson Ranch, California

Came here with a big group and overall the experience was pretty smooth. We had a reservation with a 15-minute grace period, and since we all arrived right on time, they sat us right away, which I appreciated. Ordering was quick and easy, even with a large group. I ordered a raspberry martini and it was really good definitely my favorite part. For food, I got the chicken sandwich with mac and cheese and fries. Honestly, the food was just okay. The chicken sandwich was kind of eh, nothing special, and the mac and cheese tasted like it was out of the box. Very basic. The people working here were nice, but the food didn't really wow me. Overall, it's a fine place, especially for groups, but I don't think I'd come back just for the food since it was just alright. read more

We celebrated my brother's birthday at Wood Ranch. My husband and I had not been here for some time. The menu has not changed much. The freshly baked Garlic Rolls were warm and nostalgic. All the women had the BBQ Chopped Salad. My husband had The Ultimate -- this was HUGE. He made quite the mess trying to bite into it until finally giving in to using a knife and fork. All the kids selected from the Kid's Menu. The birthday boy chose Beef Ribs. It was all fresh and well prepared. Good portions. My sister-in-law brought an ice cream cake. Our super-sweet server refrigerated it while we had dinner, then brought it out all set up with lit candles, along with a knife, plates, utensils and extra napkins. Drink refills had to be requested and slow to arrive. But I can look past that given that they were so accommodating to our large party and outside cake. read more

I have been a previous patron of this location for many many years until I moved away. I ordered online for Mother's Day and ordered a four person value pack for my elderly parents who live in Granada Hills. When I went to pick up the order, my name was mispronounced several times. At one point, a staff member argued with me that I said the name "Cara". Nope. I got to my parents house and realized that they'd forgotten 1lb of brisket. The ice cream was warm, so I was thinking it had been sitting in the bag prior to me picking up the food. The tri-tip was terrible: fatty and rubbery. The ribs were ok. The Mac and cheese was the redeeming food item. I called the store to let them know about the brisket and they said they'd take care of it: ie refund that portion. I called the manager today who said I'd been put into their guest log for a complimentary 1lb brisket next time I come in. Honestly, I have no desire to return. The manager said she'd get back to me... she never did. My overall experience was so terrible: From lack of professionalism, poor customer service, and subpar food. read more

The last time I was at the Valencia Wood Ranch was about 15 years ago, shortly after it opened, as I remember. I didn't consider it a vegetarian-friendly place so I didn't hurry back. But, I wanted to give it another shot since lately I have been pleasantly surprised by a few similar sports bars in greater LA (see those reviews), so why not revisit WR? My immediate impression upon walking in is that, on a late weekend afternoon, Wood Ranch draws a distinctive clientele, i.e., older, steak and potato lovers, sports fans, and beer consumers. Which is exactly the right thing the area needs, set in the middle of some residential complexes that support this very kind of place. In fact, we now have no fewer than a dozen sports bars and restaurants within a few miles of our home -- a sign that these places are thriving and have found their people. I also noticed it was smaller than I remembered, laid out so you have lots of little areas and not one cavernous room. This keeps things intimate and the noise in check. It is clean, cheerful (from the greeters to our upbeat server, Zach), to the mixed genre of music playing at the right volume in the background. There is a large horseshoe bar in the middle and lots of screens to watch sports. The Dodgers and Padres were on, so there was a fair amount of patron reaction, which made things lively and homey. The decor is a little bit dated but then again, the familiarity is what makes it perfect for long time patrons. We had a bright booth next to the large and easy to access parking lot so I could keep an eye on my beloved ebony S80 while we ate. The menu is a meat-lover's dream. We were early enough for the lunch selection and I shot a picture of what was available. Nonetheless, there was enough that we were able to put together an ample assortment of vegetarian and vegan dishes and take our usual bagful home, in nice crystalline plastic containers and a crisp clear bag that Zach thoughtfully brought us. In my photos you can see what we chose. Almost every single item was excellent. The only disappointment was the mac 'n' cheese and only because it was utterly flavorless. However, I had the best veggie burger I have had in a decade, home made, clearly thoughtfully assembled with a delicious variety of vegetables and grains, heaped with onions, lettuce, pickles, avocado, tomato and cheese on what must have been the soft giant bun. Also, the Caesar salad, mashed sweet potatoes, crisp roasted asparagus, and complimentary buttery rolls were all exceptional. The prices are very reasonable. This is a good, solid, comfortable place to enjoy lunch, stress-free. Everything is smoothly done. Zach was super patient, the food came out quickly at the right temps for each dish, nicely plated, in generous portions. It won't be another fifteen years before we return. Happy to have Wood Ranch in our neighborhood. read more

Wood ranch you have my heart with your barbecue chopped salad and the warm rolls. This was my first time at this location, we had a big party but the wait time wasn't terrible for a Friday night. This was one of the hottest days we've had this month (August) and we decided to get seated outdoors as it would be quicker. Sitting outside in the heat isn't always ideal but they had multiple fans going and it cooled the patio pretty quick. Which definitely made for a better experience. Our server did his job and checked up on us a few times. He helped with menu questions and had great recommendations. However some items were forgotten when our food came out and it was bit hard to get a hold of our waiter since he had many tables, which we completely understood. The food was delicious you could taste the smokiness of the grill and everything was cooked to perfection. Some of the members of our party got the baby back ribs and they just fell off the bone. My favorite was the bbq chop salad with tri tip. Honestly can't wait to go back and order the salad once again. read more

Not a stranger to wood ranch but it was my first time at the Valencia location! I love coming specifically for their lunch special which is 2 sliders of your choice with a soup or salad and a premium side for 18$! I got the hamburger sliders this time with their mashed potatoes and their soup of the day which on Mondays us the Tri tip mushroom soup! I am fixated on this damn soup because it's SO GOOD it might as well be gravy. It's super thick and flavorful. Super comforting, it paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes and complementary bread! We were sat immediately and a girl server took care of us, she was so sweet. Overall chefs kiss, I absolutely loved everything, 10/10s all around. read more

Thank you so much to our sweet server Dallas who let my friend and I occupy a space here for 2 hours while catching up!! I had never been to a Wood Ranch before so when my friend suggested she and I meet half way for dinner I was excited to try it out. The dinner rolls are delicious, we both ordered salads which we loved and the atmosphere was also nice and a cozy place to get out of the rain. She and I may have to meet here again to try other items!! read more

My wife and I visit this Wood Ranch location yesterday to grab lunch when we were in the area. We found parking just fine since this restaurant is in a plaza with many parking spots. When we walked inside, you'll notice that this place is smaller that other Wood Ranch location. We got seated quick at the bar area so I was able to watch the basketball game. Our waiter Kenan was amazing, he was attentive and friendly with us during our visit. I got the Tri Tip steak with fries and my wife got the Asian chicken salad. My tri tip was cooked perfectly at medium and was delicious. My wife thought her salad was okay but it wasn't her favorite. The men's bathroom here is very small with 2 stalls and there no privacy when using the urinal so just be aware of that. read more

Totally wonderful experience. I was there as part of a large group of about 25 people and it was amazing. First of all, major respect for the staff who appeared to pull it off seamlessly. I sat next to the hosts and they were thrilled. The food was magnificent. We started out with a nice variety of appetizers which were yummy but the star is still the meat. I ordered the tri tip which I believe is their signature dish and requested rare because that's how I like my steak. What I got was perfect. Nice and red with a nice char. One of the side dishes I chose was the Mac and cheese which is a thing of beauty and deliciousness that would bring me back all by itself. Finished with a nice piece of butter cake which was sweet and buttery Most highly recommended and I would be thrilled to come back read more

If you are a meat lover this is the place. I had the brisket with roasted broccoli and a baked potato. Everything was stellar. The BBQ sauce on the side was spicy, which was a good thing. Service was great, they have a lot of servers. The ambiance was rustic with a lot of wood everywhere, but it seemed high end. read more

Review based on take-out experience: I placed my order online and was given a return time when my order would be ready for pick-up. There's a designated take-out area located on the side of the building, but if you walk in from the main entrance it's located past the bar area. Super quick and easy process! The staff were super friendly. I ordered the bbq chicken breast meal that costs about $23 and comes with two sides. I also ordered a 6 piece of their garlic rolls. I chose the Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes as my sides. The chicken was moist and flavorful and it paired very well with the mashed potatoes. The Mac and cheese was personally not my favorite as it reminded me of velveeta cheese. The garlic rolls are always so delicious. All in all I had a great food experience! read more

Wood Ranch is my all-time favorite BBQ restaurant. On our first visit to the Valencia location, we were celebrating my son's birthday, and all I can say is that the service was 100/10.

We will definitely be going back. read more

The food is very good. I was in a party of 3 on Valentines Day. It was packed. The prices however? They are astronomical. A filet and 1 side is over $50. Additional sides are another $6-8.

I always look forward to visiting Wood Ranch!When we are in town, we usually visit the Valencia location. The evening we arrived in early June was super busy, but they had seating in the bar area for a party of seven in a booth. It was really cramped, but we made it work. Food as usual was delicious! We love the blooming onion appetizer and even the pickiest among our party munched out on it. As always, the garlic rolls rocked along with the barbecue sauce . It's awesome that they still do unlimited garlic rolls. I loved my barbecue salad with tri-tip on top. It's my favorite thing to order and never disappoints. Thank you for another wonderful visit. We will be back. read more

Very competent food. Salmon was nice grilled. Brussell sprouts seemed a bit over cooked. Burger was enormous and Mac and cheese delicious. Chicken sandwich was delicious but messy. Very messy. Service was good. Bathroom is hard to find. And even at 5 pm, it was crowded. read more

We really enjoyed Wood Ranch. Nestled in the Stevenson Ranch area of Valencia, Wood Ranch is an upscale chain restaurant vibe in a strip mall. In spite of its location, which is somewhat far from the centralized dining hubs in Santa Clarita Valley, this restaurant served better food than many eateries in downtown Newhall and town center Valencia. For dinner, my partner and I split a Wood Ranch BBQ combo and fresh Meditteranean sea bass. However, even before our entrees arrived, we were quite taken by the complimentary bread! Not to mention everything else, the sea bass, ribs, bbq chicken, mac and cheese, all were very satisfying. I would recommend Wood Ranch for an enjoyable night out for dinner. Make sure you come hungry, because the portions are no joke! read more

We ordered a plate with baked potato, ribs, and brisket, along with a drink. They start you off with warm rolls that are absolutely delicious, served with a tangy barbecue sauce. Our food came out quickly and piping hot--the plates were so hot we had to wait a moment before digging in. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I also ordered a Tennessee Peach, which was amazing! It had whiskey, peach,mint, and lemon--refreshing and full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back just for that drink. The portions are generous, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is great--low, warm lighting with comfortable seating that's spaced out nicely so it doesn't feel crowded. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! read more

Best thing on the menu is the prime rib only available on weekends. It's so tender and juicy I have dreams about it. I also love the tri-tip salad. Nice dark ambiance throughout the restaurant except for the bar. The servers are great. $$$. Worth it. 5 stars all round. read more

Love woodranch for BBQ!! Friendly service!! Beautiful young ladies and gents!! Never a bad experience when we go there

Wood Ranch is a chain in SoCal known for their amazing tri-tip and garlic rolls (IYKYK) Service was great at my most recent dinner. Though it was surprisingly busy for a Friday evening even at 8pm. Food took longer than expected. I wish they expanded to NorCal. Until then we usually try to dine at any Wood Ranch during our trip to SoCal and even buy dozens of garlic rolls to take home. read more

This spot is always a go-to for my family & we've always had a great experience when dining in. The servers are always friendly & attentive, & the food is always good. Some of my favorites are the BBQ Chopped Salad with Tri Tip, Ethan's Brisket Sandwich, Brisket Plate, & for the sides I like their fries, mac n cheese, & loaded mashed potatoes. And of course, you have to start off with the garlic rolls! For dessert, I highly recommend the Warm Chocolate Cake The reason why I gave them 3 stars is because the last couple of times I've ordered take-out, I was disappointed. One time I ordered the brisket sandwich & the bread was kind of hard & the food was kinda cold -- and I picked it up at the time they said to. Another time, I ordered a brisket plate & when I got there I asked for extra BBQ sauce at the take-out counter & they gave me only one, which would've been fine assuming they had already put a couple in with my order. When I got home I realized they didn't include any BBQ sauce!!! And the brisket was completely dry, so had I not asked I wouldn't have even had that one small sauce... There were a couple other instances like this, which is disappointing because sometimes you just want to eat at home, but knowing that the quality may not be as good or the order might be off doesn't make me want to spend all that money to have a subpar experience. read more

Came in with reservations and was sat immediately. Greeted and served by Mike as soon as we sat down. Our party was well catered to, and the food here is always incredible. The BBQ sauce goes on everything: salad, meat, the garlic buns that come with the meal, etc. it was raining outside, but the patio was completely covered and insulated so we weren't exposed to the elements. Everyone was friendly, and anything we had questions about were addressed ASAP. Can't complain about a thing. Another shout out to Mike, who tolerated my mother, a feat I can barely accomplish. We'll be back. read more

Wood Ranch Valencia is a great place to dine alone or with family and friends. My favorite entree is the Tri Tip with sweet mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.

Wow! I've been here a bunch of times. We've gotten really crappy service in the past. The only reason we decided to come here is because it was close to where some friends live. The waitress was not only attentive, but had very good suggestions on the menu. Our sodas were never empty. She always made sure we had everything we needed and always had a smiling face! Her name was Jenna and we will all definitely be back! read more

My first time to the wood Ranch and it was a lovely experience. Pretty busy at 5 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. Very cozy nice decor and very helpful staff. Very clean tidy restaurant. I enjoyed a nice glass of red wine and ordered the fresh Atlantic salmon pan shared with Jim Beam, brown sugar, and tamari with a side of asparagus, grilled. The food was excellent! The salmon had wonderful flavor and melted in my mouth. Cooked to perfection. My GF ordered a custom salad, which was the classic Caesar only with shredded cabbage instead of romaine. It looked yummy. Nicole took good care of us! read more
