My friend and I went to Wood Ranch in Stevenson Ranch today and had a really great experience. We both ordered the BBQ chicken with mac & cheese and everything was delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. Our server was a young gentleman who was attentive, friendly, and constantly checking in to make sure we were doing okay. Overall, we had a very pleasant dining experience and will definitely be coming back again!

Baby back ribs

Service was great we sat by the bar area side. Didn't have to wait long to be seated the host was very sweet and our server was very attentive. The food came out pretty fast and was very tasty.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Roomy and clean dining area. Good amount of natural light near the windows. Meats in the sandwiches were cooked well and nice hearty portions. Great road trip late lunch early dinner on the way home. Thank you Wood Ranch

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.

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.

BBQ Chopped Salad
Katherine M.

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.

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.

BBQ Chopped Salad
Andrea B.

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!!

Tri Tip 10oz with fries
Peter X.

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.

3 giant beef ribs and Cole slaw!  Really good!
Pete V.

Great food and outstanding service. Nicole was awesome and super friendly. I had beef ribs that were amazing and the wife had sea bass. Killer peanut Cole slaw!! Will be back!

Brisket, small version, with roasted broccoli and a baked potato.
Mike A.

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.

Burger and Mac and cheese as the side
Stephanie A.

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.

I was amazed with the eagerness to get everyone accommodated comfortably. The server instantly took our drink and appetizer order and we had drinks in minutes. Including my Lemon Drop Margarita that was on special for $6 (highly recommend). Tonight we ordered the triple dipper and the bbq platter. We chose chipotle and hot mozzarella and the southwest egg rolls. Fire and I got an amazing cheese pull. For the BBQ platter with got the Nashville hot chicken crispers, ribs, and brisket quesadillas with all Mac & cheese for the side. The ribs were a little dry and didn't have a lot of meat on them but the quesadillas were chefs kiss. Overall, I rated this visit 4 stars because the chicken crispers are more batter than chicken and the ribs. The ambiance is relaxed and chill. They have tvs to catch games, a full bar seating/dining area, and lots of seating.But still, overall amazing... The level of service was 5 stars!

My brother loves the French onion soup burger and the sugary vanilla cream ale nitro beer. The salmon burger is solid, too. They have a large menu and do everything well.

This place was a huge surprise. Usually we try to eat at local businesses, but the combination of…read morethe reviews and our cravings got the better of us. So we settled for this American Burger chain. Pretty big store that felt modern and welcoming. The layout was great and we didn't feel lost at all from start to finish. We were in town because of a friend's play, and it was nice that it was right next door too. I got the Onion Stack Burger. The patty was well seasoned and the crispy onion strings gave it a wonderfully textured bite. Hickory sauce was tasty and the fries were crispy and well seasoned. I asked for ketchup on the side and I don't know why but cold, refrigerated ketchup always taste the best. I had to drop a star because the service was lacking a little. The worker was nice and responsive but we had to wait quite a bit as I think he was talking to a friend when we got there. He noticed we were in line but they were just having a conversation unrelated to the burger joint. She left the spot after 5-ish minutes and we were greeted pretty carefree following that. He also forgot to give us our number which we had to go back for. Anyhow, the food was great, and the ambiance was great. I'd definitely recommend a try if you can't think of what to eat while shopping/waiting at the mall.

We got to play both pool and darts. Their tables are in such nice condition, well taking care of and they are all diamond tables. The break room gave me a amazing night out with my friends. I never been to a place like this before. I can't think of one negative thing to say, my visit here was pure fun. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town, and hoping OC gets a place like this soon.
