Finally tried this place today after driving by it for years and I must say,…read more it was exactly what I've been looking for! I had the bbq pork sandwich and, unlike some other local bbq places, it did not disappoint! The pork was cooked just right, not too dry and not greasy at all. I also appreciated that it was perfectly smoked because another place I tried used liquid smoke which had that weird artificial taste (which actually made me nauseous) but not here! The bbq sauce was also delicious and I enjoyed the beans and macaroni salad. It was a fair price at about $15. Even though parking can be a challenge, it was worth the effort. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings. I have a feeling that I won't be disappointed :)

I've eaten here several times now different times different days different nights for the most part. They're consistent on their service.. Service is the key to your continuous, success, quality of food and cleanliness of your establishment very important and you'll continue to earn my business.

Your smile as you're winning ticket. Good job and developing your people with From within. One of my favorite dishes is the tri-tip barbecue combo which included a half of barbecue chicken tri-tip steam mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes gravy, one of my favorite dishes. An added bonus is that the kitchen staff cuts the tri-tip, right, soft and easy to chew. So great job to the back of the house to the front of the house.

West of Orleans is the real deal; an institution that meets, excels, devastates all notions of what Cajun/Creole/BBQ cuisine can or should accomplish to stand out amongst the rest of the competition. And with how high they stand, all should recognize. With a menu as expansive as most, West of Orleans manages to offer their patrons all of the classics seen with most other restaurants of the same variety, but with so much more... But onto the food. It's true to its word. Fresh, delicate, light, harmonious in every sense of the word. Flavorful beyond flavor. The PoBoy was delicious, as the shrimp popped, the remoulade sauce incredible, tangy and sweet but not overpowering. The Jerk Chicken Mac-n-Cheese was the perfect pair between savory and succulence. Not too spicy, not too smoky, just enough of everything. The macaroni held up its half of the bargain as well. Currently planning my next experience here. Stay tuned.

But maybe mine was an off batch because everything was entering dry and chewy. But it does come out fast! There's a nice shaded patio to sit if you want to stay and some more tables where you can watch them grilling by the road. If you want tons of sauce, they also sell noh's hawaiin bbq bottles. Out of the tri tip sandwich, beef ribs, and baby back ribs--the beef rib was my favorite, but the sandwich is probably what I'll keep going back for because they are so generous with how much meat they pile! Definitely worth a visit, but I didn't feel the hype I kept on hearing.

Upon entering I noticed how super clean this restaurant was & so were their restrooms, highly organized & attention to details. This Wood Ranch has seating inside, booths, table and chairs, the bar area, and enclosed area. This restaurant is beautiful inside & of course the workers here too! This Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill atmosphere is Classy, Elegant, chic, Very friendly, Warm, Cozy, Inviting & Welcoming. I've have known Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill since I was younger, they always have Great Service & Great Delicious Meals here! Today Esme, Sol, Rook were both in the front. I asked them what soup they had today, since it does change ever so often. Today they have their famous Tri- Tip soup! I also asked them some other questions & and the answered them all beautifully. Next they send me across the area to have a to go order, that's when I met Ethan. I asked Ethan how much would it cost if I got 3 orders of Tri-Tip soups to go and extra famous garlic rolls! So instead of 3 orders I got 4 ha! The total was $40.54. Which I thought was a great price for their always Outstanding & Delicious Meals here! Ethan told me it would probably take about 10mins I told him it's fine, cause I saw how busy it was there. I actually didn't have to wait 10 minutes. When I got home I heated everything up and it's Flipping Fantastic Deliciousness!! Mouthwatering, Super Savory! Ethan quickly came out and handed my goods! I beyond thrilled. Ethan was super sweet, kind, caring, very genuine, very knowledgeable, super down to earth! Ethan has this super positive upbeat energy about himself that truly radiates! Ethan is your Rarest of all diamonds! His shine can never fade! Please treasure him greatly! I would love especially Thank Ethan for a Fantastic & Fabulous & Memorable Visit!

By the time I paid for the ribs, sides, and tip, I spent over $32 -- and still left hungry. There was hardly any meat on the bones. One rib in particular was almost completely bare, with basically nothing to eat on it. I paid for a bone. What bothers me most is that this is not how it used to be. The portions were better before, and I actually looked forward to eating here. Now it feels like they are charging premium prices while giving customers less and less. I understand restaurants have higher costs, but serving customers bones with barely any meat and charging over $30 for lunch is unacceptable. If this is a management decision to reduce portions while keeping prices high, it is going to drive away loyal local customers. It's a shame because I used to like this place, but after this experience I will not be coming back.

Real mesquite-smoked bbq in Thousand Oaks…read more Subconsciously, I think of the late, great, Anthony Bourdain when I think of being in an unfamiliar area. What I mean by that, is 1 small thing you can do to het acquainted with an unfamiliar area is to try local resturants. I knew that I was going to be in the area, so I Yelped nearby bbq restaurants. In these kinds of instances, I'm so glad that Yelp exists. Fellow yelpers didn't disappoint. FOOD: "4 Meat Combo" consisting of... Tri-Tip - 9.2 / 10 Personally, I think this is their strongest foot forward. I'm a "beef boy" & I think a smoked tri-tip is highly underrated. I was incredibly impressed with how moist it was even after I reheated in the oven as leftovers. Taking a rather rougher cut of beef & smoking it to incredibly moist tenderness is a thing of beauty. If you were only going to get 1 protein, it should be this. Hot Links - 9.0 / 10 Such a hearty portion & bite. Texture is very consistent & has a very pleasant, smoked, subtle pork flavor. Sausage isn't always immediately on my bbq "must-haves", but theirs makes me a believer in sausage as a bbq protein. Chicken breast - 9.0 / 10 I was pleasantly surprised to see that they offered chicken breast. I think a tell-tale sign of good chicken breast is that it isn't dry. Busters' chicken breast is no exception. It was so incredibly impressing to see just how moist their smoked chicken breast was. It was such a generous portion too. Those who fear dry chicken breast will become believers with their rendition. Garlic Bread - 9.0 / 10 I'm rather impressed with such a generous portion & how consistently toasted their pieces are. A very nice crisp & garlicky bite. Baked beans - 8.5 / 10 Arguably my favorite bbq side. I usually prefer a thicker sauce, as their version is quite thin, but that is perfectly fine. One thing I enjoy is that you can dip your meats in this thinner sauce so as to add another layer of bbq flavor. Macaroni Salad - 8.7 / 10 My favorite of the salad offerings. Provides a cool, refreshing bite. There's something cooling - like dill / mint. I can't quite put my finger on in. If I was going get a salad again, it would be this one. Potato Salad - 8.4 / 10 It's always nice to have a potato side when having bbq. I prefer a mashed potato most of the time, but their potato salad is a lighter + refreshing bite. The mustard cut through the smokiness of the bbq. Spicy BBQ Sauce - 9.0 / 10 Be careful! I love spicy. In fact, 9 out of 10 times, no restaurant ever makes me "feel the heat" whenever I ask for a really spicy dish. Their spicy bbq sauce is not for the "faint of heart". I would reckon that they use a healthy helping of habañeros in their own recipe. I kept going back for water when I should had order a refreshing, Tractor-chilled beverage. There's always next time. Huge, huge shoutout to Adrian for being so incredibly welcoming. I wish more front-of-house staff were as kind, approachable, & enthusiastic as him. He appreciated that it was first time visiting. He answered all of my questions, offered recommendations, & made sure that I was comfortable during my whole dining experience. Truly an M.V.P. of this establishment. I will happily come simply because of how superb his service was. Support local .Busters OG BBQ + Grill is a solid, legitimate bbq establishment.
