    Prices in 2026
    Angela D.

    Came here with a party of 13 to celebrate a CSUCI graduation nearby to the school. The service was amazing and the price & location was perfect, however, the food was a hit or a miss. The chicken bbq salad, beef ribs, pulled pork, salmon, and appetizers was a hit but the children chicken tenders (dry), brisket (too fatty), and baby back ribs were a miss. I didn't like that the bbq sauces came in small cups - they used to have bottles at the table so I'm not sure when that changed up that was surprising to see. Overall, we had a good time but I'm not sure I'll be frequenting a Wood Ranch anymore.

    Delicious and fast ! We came while passing by on our way down to LA. Wesley was our server and did an excellent job. The rolls were hot and fresh and the salad was fabulous!

    Dinner with friends. Thought we should give Wood ranch. Another chance, this time with a dine in experience rather than takeout. Glad we made that choice. The wife and I shared a full rack of baby back ribs ($37) with a side of sweet potato fries each ($4 add on). The garlic rolls were brought to the table. They were warm and delicious. And this time, there was no additional charge for them! Caitlin, our server was attentive and friendly. Service was excellent throughout.

    Wood Ranch Camarillo. One of our faves! Whenever I'm home for the holidays, my husband, and I love visiting Wood Ranch. The steak is amazing, and the sides might be even better. We usually get the barbecue chicken salad, a house salad, their amazing garlic rolls (which come with every order), mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, the Tennessee peach cocktail! Truly, nothing on the menu is bad - you could go five times and have a great meal every time. Hit up happy hour for cheaper cocktails and a few apps on special. My mom always comes for wine, Wednesdays! I wish there was wood ranch closer to us! A staple.

    Pit stop with to the start of the annual girls weekend. Came here as it was one of my friends favorite restaurant. I can see why. The food was very tasty. Portions were pretty big and the service was nice. We went during lunch on a weekday so it was pretty quiet. Overall. Will def come here again

    BBQ Chopped Salad
    Cheryl R.

    Repair work was being done at the entry upon our arrival, but it didn't hinder us in the least. The restaurant was clean and appealing. Our hostess was cheery and after seating us immediately helped a disabled person get out the door and then checked on us again in case we needed her attention. Our server was pleasant and professional. My friend and I shared the BBQ chicken chopped salad with the addition of avocado. It was fresh, crispy and flavorful. The chicken had been freshly prepared and was juicy. We made special requests concerning the dressings, and everything was just as requested. The serving was hearty and we enjoyed our visit to Wood Ranch.

    Stopped in to Wood Ranch for lunch. The hostess was very kind and led me to a wonderful booth. Cailin was my amazing server and was kind, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I ordered an iced tea and a BBQ tri tip salad. The ambiance was positive and uplifting and the food and service stellar. Highly recommended

    Fantastic catered event on the back patio for a special event. The chicken was tender, the mashed potatoes were creamy and the mac n cheese was delish. They turn on the market lights after the sun sets making a nice ambience for the party setting. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially for the vegan in our group that needed to order off the catering options.

    Patrick was such an excellent server! My kids were obnoxiously saying thank you over and over and he was handling it so well and came back with these fun notes for them to read. He was so patient and attentive. We will be asking for him next time!

    Honestly you can never go wrong with Wood Ranch! Came here with family for dinner and I was surprised to discover that on the back of the kids menu, they have a list of conversation starters. I thought that was such a nice idea to keep everyone chatting and talking together during a nice meal! This night I went for the baby back ribs and got the roasted broccoli and smashed sweet potatoes for my sides. The broccoli was roasted to perfection and everything was so delicious! Of course I had a few rolls in addition to my meal too, and our service was great even on a busy night.

    This is a 4.5 Yelp stars place!…read more If you are ever in the mood for a no-nonsense American traditional bbq without the need for a sit-in restaurant or any fancy service -- this is the spot! I was very surprised that this place exists inside a food court of the Camarillo outlets. I was even more surprised that it seemed like I was the only customer at lunchtime on a weekday. Strolling in at 11:45 AM, I went directly to this spot in the food court. I was greeted by a sole worker who took my order for half a rack of beef ribs for a total of around $19 (tax included). Pricey but how will the ribs taste? He started warming up and grilling 4 huge beef ribs. When I received it in my to-go box with BBQ sauce, it is almost as I expected. Upon tasting the huge beef ribs, it was the most tantalizing thing that hit my taste buds. THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. A to-go BBQ spot that gives me EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. The BEEF Ribs were tasty, not burnt, great char, along with lots of meats. The sauce made the beef taste amazing. It is a shame no one knows about this place. I will definitely be coming back for the pork ribs and the tri-tip sandwich.

    If you want a good sweat, try eating the hot bbq sauce here. Their food is pretty average, but…read moretheir sauce is off the hook. Food: I ordered 2 tri tip sandwiches to go for lunch. The beef was cut properly against the grain and grilled to warm up. They provided a lot of meat for a sandwich, so the cost is justified. It was also very tender. The color drew me off because I ordered medium rare and expected more pink/red meat. Their bread was buttered and grilled to a nice toast. It looked great, but was not as good as another establishment's bread. The sauce is very good and hot. I personally like this sauce over another establishment's sauce because it has a certain sweetness the other location does not. Service: The head pitmaster took care of me when I ordered. He also cut and prepared the sandwiches. He was friendly and served quickly. Ambiance: It's easy to find in the Outlets Food Hall. Parking was easy on a weekend at lunch. The menu is easy to read and there is a nice smoke smell when you order at the counter. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. But the tri tip needs to be served with more red/pink inside and the portions could be reduced a little in order to lower the prices ($17+ for a sandwich).

We stopped at Camarillo Outlets to try and kill time since our Air B&B is not ready until late afternoon. I looked to see if there are any Filipino food spots in the area and I found Lola Betty's. We ordered the short rib plate and the Tasilog plate and lumpia Shanghai- washed it down with Calamansi juice. Everything was delicious, 10/10. The owner came out to check on us and she was so kind, hospitable and shared some history with us on how Lola Betty's came to be. From food truck to walk up, she said that some people really preferred or hoped for a sit down restaurant. I don't have a preference. I only love the soul and passion that is poured into one's food. Love, soul and passion can be found here. The owner says, "I just really wanted a place where you can really be attentive and really take the time to cook the food the way it should be made".

The pricing is fair, portions are generous, and overall the food was good. As a fellow Filipino, I would love to see a little more variety on the menu since it currently focuses on the basics. From a business standpoint, especially considering the location and customer base, I understand keeping things simple. The only dish I wasn't a huge fan of was the Tapsilog, as the meat was a bit salty for my taste. The Longsilog was much better, and I loved that they included a small puto (rice cake) with the meal. Overall, a great experience and worth a visit.

The meat was sliced very inconsistently, with some pieces cut thick and others cut extremely thin. This made the sandwich difficult to eat and took away from the overall experience. The pork ribs were okay, but nothing memorable. The side dishes were also underwhelming--very small portions and average in flavor. For the price, I expected larger sides and better attention to detail with the meat preparation. The restaurant has potential, but consistency is important when serving BBQ. Unfortunately, the uneven tri-tip cuts and small side portions left me feeling unsatisfied. This review refers to Best Bar-BQ in Santa Paula, which is known for its tri-tip sandwiches and ribs. Good luck with parking. The most memorable part was the spicy bbq sauce.

Food came out within 5 minutes on a Saturday at lunch, which I was weary about since it's BBQ - but everything ended up still being hot and juicy. We ended up going with the 3-meat plate for about $30 total. It was enough for 2 people (or 1 really hungry person!). We ordered the brisket, burnt ends, and hot links which came with garlic bread and two sides of our choice - the star of the show was for sure the burnt ends, which were juicy and deeply flavorful. The brisket was moist, which I feel like is hard to find, but I do wish it had more flavor. The hot links were also good but didn't have much nuance either. Next time, we'll definitely save room to try some dessert, which was only $5! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out!

I read somewhere across the street where this Location used to be in that food court is another barbecue place that I didn't get to try unfortunately because I'm pretty loyal to Buster's . it was about 730 on a Monday night and they close at eight so I figured you know what I'll give them a shot. Upon entering the business I could smell some of the meats we're still cooking on the grill so that's a good sign. I need a quick take on the pricing and wow unbelievable that this place at one time sold a tri-tip sandwich for 7.99 and a tri-tip dinner for about 13.99. now the sandwich is 14.99 and the dinner is 19.99.. there's a picture included. You can zoom in and see the prices for yourself but not sure how much I would get. I was starving. I got the dinner and I also got the sandwich. I can also eat the next day or simple some of my was not full. I opted for the potato salad, the coleslaw and the beans on the dinner and the sandwich just comes with tri-tip French bread and a barbecue sauce of your choice or you can get hot version which I avoid. So about 35.00 and I'm headed back to my hotel. I dug into the dinner first and yes, the tri-tip was kind of dry, but would you dip it into the barbecue sauce? It was OK. The beans were OK. I needed some seasoning potato salad. It was great and the coleslaw was just average coleslaw. nothing to write home about the butter. Bread was pretty good portions was it fresh it was warm. Could've been better.. I was given about 4 to 5 slices of tri-tip, which isn't really a lot so I attacked the language and took a few slices off of there and then put the rest away for tomorrow. Overall, it's decent maybe I should've went when it was fresher in the afternoon, but I probably wouldn't recommend going late in the evening as things are being put away and food tends to sit around for a while. can't really blame the price too much because we all know. Beef prices are insane these days but I think you should at least get more portions for the $$$$ you're paying for. on my next visit I head across the street and try the new place if it's still an existence cause we know that food court turns new places over left and right and it could be vacated on my next return..

I've had the chance to try their BBQ at local events around Ventura County, and it always left an impression. They make some darn good BBQ. BUT for this visit we ended up highlighting something just as exciting...their vegetarian options! It definitely says a lot when a barbecue place has great non meat options. I came with my friend Raquel (yelp elite) for lunch and we went all in on their vegetarian plates...well with one exception, we ordered the deviled eggs too. Let's start there: Their famous Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs are a must. Creamy, flavorful filling, lightly battered egg, topped with crispy bacon...yeah, they're as good as they sound. 10/10. Now for the vegetarian standouts: The Fried Avocado Bites were simple but done so right. Perfectly fried and paired with house made sauces that really brought everything together. Super shareable and perfect as a starter. 10/10. The Cauliflower Tacos were a reminder that you absolutely do NOT need meat for a great taco. These were hearty and loaded with (again) incredible sauces. My friend was obsessed and I get why. They were good, but I would prefer a meat protein taco at a spot like this. 7/10 for me. Beyond the food, the experience really shines here. The space has this perfect mix of country charm and rock n roll edge which is such a fun vibe. Service was top notch, and we love when owners are present and genuinely care. They stopped by to check in, which always makes a place feel extra special. And shoutout to our server Bentley, an absolute sweetheart. Next time you're in Santa Paula, do yourself a favor and check them out.

Gunsmoke is located in Downtown Santa Paula. I didn't pay close attention but I don't believe they have private parking. If you don't know SP, there is street parking and some parking lots.

I was happy to see the non meat options they have available. I was a bit bummed out they didn't have their hummus but it's just another excuse for me to go back. I did end up getting their cauliflower tacos. My friend got their avocado fries and their devil eggs. I had never had devil eggs, and tried those and were so good. I wanted more but I had already had all my tacos. I did appreciate the owner coming to greet us and finding out I was pescatarian. He was nice, mentioned that even though they are a BBQ spot, they still want to value those customers that don't eat, and asked if there's anything I think of to let him know to see if they can add it to the menu. Really appreciated that. Overall, bummed out I wasn't able to try their BBQ. The options I did try were all really good. I would come back.
