My family and I had been going here for the past 4yrs and went at least twice a month. Food serving sizes were great and meat was prepd exactly as requested. The last 5 times we have gone here, more than one order was below fast food quality, cold, a lot smaller portions, cheap steaks trying to be passed off as the higher end ones, and the level of meat being cooked was never right. Asking for med-rare would result in well-done. Each time this was brought to the servers attention, we were assured it was correct. Then the mgr coming over and asking why didnt we finish our food and just asked for the check. (Literally didnt finish over $100 in steaks, just took it home and gave it to the dogs.) Told them what was wrong and all we were offered was a dessert. Went back different days and different times and same thing again. Though they were very friendly to our kids, I can find a better place to spend $100+ each time at. We will never go there again. NOTE: The servers were 85% always friendly and fast with service. My review is about the quality of the food, not the service given.

Took my wife for lunch for a Sunday outing. Had a great server, named Stephanie. Unfortunately that couldnt make up for the raw burger and chicken we were served. We both had to send the food back to be recooked. When the chicken was returned it was still bloody and pink. My wifes burger was mooing when returned and she prefers a well done burger. Third time returned the burger was cooked. We discovered that both our entrees were flavorless. It was a very big disappointment for my wife who was looking forward to having lunch at Wood Ranch. The wood ranch at the Grove in Los Angeles is much better than this location. My wife commented that she would never return to this location because the food was so bad. I just cannot recommend wasting your dollars here, check out any other restaurant, except this one, you will be much happier. Update. As soon as we got home from the restaurant my wife was vomiting.

Wir kamen her um eine gute Portion Fleisch zu essen und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Die Ribs, das Pulled Pork sowie die Chicken Breasts und das Rib Eye waren alle sensationell. Die Beilagen waren ebenfalls super (und das Gemüse für einmal nicht verkocht wie sonst vielerorts üblich). Nettes typisch amerikanisches Ambiente gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

First time there and it was amazing! A friend recommended this place so we tried it and I was very pleased with the great tasting food. Sorry no pix of food as I was too ready to indulge in my Ultimate Sandwich (Not sure what it easy called) Our server was awesome! Her name is Jesse( Not sure of spelling) but she served with the most beautiful smile and she was on top of everything by getting our drink refills and making sure our food was hot and tasted good. We are definitely going back there and requesting her once more before we go back to AZ. I wish they had this restaurant in AZ! Respectfully, SonnyAZ

Ok restaurant, but food is too expensive for the amount of food you get. For a burger and fries it is $15. Im for sure the amount of food you get is weighed by the ounce. So, if your burger is huge like mine was, then you get a small portion of fries. The menu has a variety of foods, you cant find a meal $10 or less for the ideal american. Overall atmosphere of this restaurant was quite loud. If your looking for a restaurant with good BBQ food quality near Ventura CA, then this wood be it. If your looking to get a bang for your buck, then look elsewhere.

I came to Ventura almost a month ago. My ant said this is the best place in the county for roasted chicken. I think is the best chicken I have ever had. I would have given 5 stars but we waited for 45 minutes just to get a table. That is just to long to wait. I had some of my ants Try-tip and was very good. I have never had Try-tip and will get this next time so long as there is no line outside. The service was good and food excellent. I will say that if you have not tried this place you should.

The steak house here is pretty darn good. The food was good and the staff was quick to seat us since we wanted to sit at the bar and have a drink with are dinner. the prices are pretty decent and the food that they give you is worth the price. The only real large issue with this place, is the line to get seated for a booth is pretty long, almost about 40 mins but can be even a hour for more busy days.

My waitress Brittany T. was very professional and helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. Ive never had better service! However I cant say the same about the halibut. I didnt care for it and the broccoli was served larger then the fish. But she corrected it promptly by recommending the baby back ribs. There AWESOME! ! Im now a regular. Thank you Brittany T and WOOD RANCH.

My family and I stop here every time we are in town (only 1 or 2 times a year). But everytime weve had great friendly service and fantastic food. We stopped here again today, had our best experience to date (which they have set a pretty high bar). Our waitress (cant remember her name) was genuinely very nice and on top of everything. Well be back.

We always enjoy Wood Ranch....this is one of the best places to go for BBQ. Their Brisket and Tri-tip are always great...steaks...BBQ Chicken...trout..their buttery garlic rolls....warm chocolate flourless cake with candied pecans and vanilla ice cream....and more...are so good. Weve ALWAYS have had good servers...friendly and attentive.

A little pricey but really good bar-b-cue tri-tip and chicken. I have also eaten the free range roasted chicken which was perfectly cooked and very well seasoned. On another occasion I had the short-rib which was deliciously cooked but the meat was too fatty for my tastes. I look forward to going back there and trying more dishes!

Im not big on fish tacos, burritos, ec....but these rocked! If I lived here I would eat there every day. Very fresh fish, shrimp, calamari cooked to perfection with fresh veggies on top and the most addictive sauces. I think the Spencer sauce is the best Aoli I have ever had. There are lots of beer selections. Very kid friendly...

I am a vegetarian and I still love wood ranch! They have the best macaroni and cheese! I know it sounds funny. Mac and Cheese, really? But if you try it, you will know what I am talking about. They also have great salads. A very good grilled vegetable salad. And I almost forgot, THEIR BREAD. That’s like their signature item.

Weve always gravitated to the food and atmosphere of Woodranch, but last night was superior, in large part because of our waiter, Bryon...Efficient, friendly, helpful but not hovering...I had never tried the balsamic shrimp but it was insane...just too much rice that had been cooled and/or reheated...

My husband and I dined here one night for dinner. We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. We were promptly waited on once seated. We both ordered grilled entrees. My husband ordered the grilled fish and I ordered the grilled spicy shrimp. Both entrees came with fresh vegetables and rice.
