Wood Ranch is a great spot for lunch or dinner, especially if you're dining with a larger group. There's plenty of parking, and the restaurant can easily accommodate bigger parties. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. We started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower and the Fresh Guacamole, Chips & Salsa, both were fresh and made for a great start to the meal. The lunch specials are a great value, and the salads are huge if you're looking for a lighter option. Add your choice of protein. The smoked brisket was definitely tender, and smoky. Other BBQ favorites like the tri-tip and baby back ribs are also worth trying. Service was efficient, but not especially friendly, and the only real disappointment was that our sodas were definitely flat. Three different types. read more

Service was great! But high-end BBQ is a weird concept made even stranger by the food. The garlic rolls are amazing. They should keep those and build a menu that makes sense around them. I ordered my usual at a new bbq place. (I'm from Kansas City so I eat a lot of bbq). The brisket was on the dry side. The pulled pork was average. The beans were pretty good but the smallest serving on the plate. No potato salad so I went with the peanut slaw. Was a fun presentation in the purple cabbage leaf but the slaw itself was pretty underwhelming. Ordered the butter cake to go. It was, again, underwhelming. Overall, it was an okay meal but not worth the price. And there are better bbq places in Corona. read more

Slow eaters beware! If your partner is done eating but you still have 3/4 of a steak left on your plate, your waitress will ask you need boxes and bring you the check. Not much if the manager or the waitress want to turn the around quick, but we were rush through our dinner. For the food, the ribeye was cooked perfectly. Best steak I had in this area. The brisket on the other was nothing to write home about. It was drier than a school lunch turkey, which tells me this came out of an oven and not a smoker. Overall, not the best experience for an anniversary dinner. read more

Amazing barbecue and a great dining experience! The ambience was wonderful, and our server was friendly, polite, and attentive. While waiting, they serve delicious garlic rolls, which was a nice touch and a tasty start to the meal. The menu was easy to choose from with plenty of good options.

My BFF and I went wedding dress shopping in the area and decided to eat at Wood Ranch afterwards. Our server Tyler greeted us very warmly and helped make us feel comfortable and not rushed at all. We had a ton of questions about what to order and he provided excellent recommendations. He brought us fresh baked rolls right away which were AHMAZING We both ordered the lunch special which came with soup or salad, 2 sliders, and a side. I chose the garden salad, Western tri-tip, the brisket, and Mac N Cheese. The salad was absolutely delicious!! I dug into it before I took a pick so it's blended together but it had the most delicious croutons and fire grilled corn. The ingredients were really fresh and the salad was not over dressed. The sliders were also really good, however, my first bite of the Western one was literally all fat and I had to spit it out. It made the rest of the sandwich unappetizing but I did hunt for any other major fat pockets and didn't see any. Both sliders were really good. The Mac N Cheese was not my favorite, but I saved it for my daughter and she loved it! Tyler really made our experience epic and the food overall was really good. read more

If you have a group of four or less, the key is to sit in the bar area to get the Happy Hour, which has specials daily from 3 pm - 6 pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the bar area, there are seven tables of four as well as a bar top that can accommodate approximately 14 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So if you have a small group, you can score and get some great deals on food and alcohol. The bartenders are all awesome. I have had the pleasure of being served by Erica, Julia and Cynthia. Erica has been at the location since 2008, one year after its opening. She is super friendly and loved chatting everyone up. Julia knew so many people by name. I came in recently and before I even sat down, Cynthia remembered my cocktail order. That is a huge bonus in my book. All women have fantastic customer service. I started coming here in a regular basis and really enjoy seeing them. Happy hour had some great options in both food and alcohol. I am a hard liquor drinker so I order the Berry Smash with vodka. It is $2 off the regular price. For food, my go-to's are garlic parmesan fries, spinach and artichoke dip and shredded onions. I recently tried the brisket tacos and they were amazing. There is just a tinge of spice. If you are a fan of meat, you have to try the baby back ribs. The meat falls off the bone went you take your first bite. The sauce is sweet and sticky. Amazing. All are on the happy hour menu. I decided to try the brisket taquitos on my most recent visit. My first taste I fully dipped the taquito in the peach habanero barbecue sauce and that was all I tasted. Couldn't taste the brisket or mashed potatoes in the taquito. My nose immediately started runny. I do not do well with spice. It had good flavor but I had to change to only the sour cream. I think it would be better with an avocado cream. I love that everything is finger food. If you are looking to be dainty and clean, this isn't for you. I bar also eaten the three slider bbq tri tip with sweet potato fries for my dinner. I don't think I have e eaten anything bad here. It can get a little pricey but come during happy hour and you will be OK. Also really like that there is a lot of parking so you don't have to fight for a spot. I love this place. The customer service is top notch. The food is excellent and the drinks are fantastic. I would definitely consider myself a regular customer. read more

I came to Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill this time, and I've been to a few of their other locations too, like Chino Hills, so I already know what they're capable of. Honestly, most of the time the food is amazing and it's been one of those places we could easily make a monthly go to spot. That said, this last visit for dinner just didn't quite hit the way it usually does. The steak was a little tough, and the corn reminded me of the last time we came when it was kind of hard. Nothing terrible, just not what I'm used to from them. We also ordered a couple of non alcoholic drinks, those were actually really refreshing. I don't want to be too hard on them because I've been coming here for over ten years and I can honestly say I've never really had bad service. They're usually really on top of it, and the food is consistently good. I love the beef ribs, and my partner always goes for the baby back ribs, and normally everything, especially the steak, is on point. This time just felt a little off. Maybe it was a different cook or something changed with their meat, I'm not really sure, but it stood out enough to notice. Still, I'd definitely come back and give them another shot because overall they've always been solid. One thing I will say, if you're planning to come here, try to get here before the dinner rush because the wait can get close to two hours. That probably says a lot about how good the food usually is. And the bread is always a win too. read more

Here we are checking out another restaurant in the Corona area. I've been to other Wood Ranch locations so everything looked familiar to me. We were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server was friendly and courteous. I ordered a brisket sandwich that was pretty tasty. Wood Ranch always gives me a cozy warm vibes. It seems to be doing well while many other chains have scaled back and closed stores. I wish them well. read more

Very nice lunch here. Bar is large, pretty and full service for food. We had artichoke dip ( nice garlic flavor) and two slider lunch specials. I had cheeseburger, my husband Carolina pork & both were excellent in brioche buns & cooked just right. With the soup or salad, this is a LOT of food! Two seniors could split the lunch special for sure. The beef & mushroom soup was great. Pretty sure it's brisket. Yum. Our service was friendly, fast & tea refills without asking were appreciated. This is a large place, nice for groups, including outside seating on the water. read more

My pulled pork with smashed sweet potatoes and asparagus was delicious. I ordered a margarita that was as just ok. I ordered a second drink, a blueberry pomegranate martini, that was very good. The only problem was that even though I ordered the second drink while I was eating it didn't come out until all the food was cleared. At that point I didn't really want it. They need to be more prompt when bringing out the drinks. My water glass was empty and it took a while to get more water. The system of using two people for each table is not efficient. My food was brought out way before my partner's food. That was not great considering it was Easter. read more

Ample parking, food is good as always for a Wood Ranch establishment. Staff is polite and cater to your needs.

Fire BBQ Place, have visited the Glendale location and loved it so was happy to visit another location. Our server was super friendly and visited us frequent to fill drinks and check in on us. The food was amazing and didn't even get a chance to take pictures of it. The place was busy but location was staffed well and service was amazing. Would def come back again. read more

Went to Woodranch in Corona today. Tried the BBQ beef ribs. Very tasty but one of the ribs had little or no meat on it. Thats was frustrating. Mostly just the bone. I think they should be more selective in picking out the ribs. Make sure there is ample meat on every one. Theyre not cheap. read more

Service was excellent as was the food, better than the last time we were here. Chicken was juicy, burger was huge, brisket tender and flavorful. Ice cream sundaes for the birthday guests. read more

Good not great. The food is expensive for what you get. I ordered ribs and they were almost well done. They were not juicy or tender. They were just ok. The tri tip was super fatty. Not much flavor nor meat. The macaroni was fine. The potatoes were fine. I'd rather go somewhere else for the price. I prefer my meat medium rare and everything was just over cooked. The service also took way too long. I had to serve myself water because the waitress was no where to be found. read more

This location next to Dos Lagos is hands down my favorite Wood Ranch. It's one of those chain spots that can sometimes be a hit or miss depending on the location but this one consistently delivers. The restaurant is clean, the service is solid, and it's always packed (which is a good sign). Came here for dinner with family and everything hit the spot from the ribs to the brisket, and of course, that free bread. The wood-fired meats here really add that extra layer of smoky flavor that takes everything up a notch. If you're out in Corona and craving American BBQ, I always recommend this spot. It gets busy, so make a reservation if you can, but even if there's a wait, it's totally worth it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a very delicious steak and filet mignion. Would go here again there service was great read more

This is our regular eating spot when no one can agree on what we want to eat. They have plenty of items to choose from and the food is consistent and good. Downfall it's pretty much everyone has the same idea so if you are coming for dinner or lunch be prepared to wait. Once you sit down your food comes out pretty quick. I can't remember ever having bad service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a decent size waiting area outside with a fireplace that is nice for keeping comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other things you may want to know is if you are a cold person like me have them seat you closer to the front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outdoor patio and during the fall and winter months the tables in the back get a cold draft from the doors opening and closing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My normal go to is the Beef Ribs, Tri-Tip and the Tri-Tip Salad. I love their passion fruit tea and will take it home to go on to go orders. This visit I ordered the BBQ pulled pork I was using the garlic rolls and made little pulled pork sandwiches. Portions are large so a lot of times you will take home food for the next days lunch or dinner. read more

We went here for my birthday dinner on a busy Friday night about 8:30pm. Even though the dining room was crowded, we were seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Anna was the best! Very attentive and pleasant. I had the tri tip and my husband ordered barbecue chicken. Without exaggeration, this was the best tri tip I've ever had ... moist, tender, flavorful. Dinner included garlic rolls, also delicious. Their specialty is barbecue but they do have veggie burgers on the menu. I am looking forward to going back! read more

Great ribs. Some of the managers are rude. We eat at this restaurant about once a week. Supposedly they stopped boiling corn 2 years ago. Every time I asked to boil my corn they said yes. Except today the manager told me to my face I don't care other people boiled your corn I'm not doing for you. I wasn't upset at her but she was rude to me about it. Pretty much said go somewhere else to eat. How hard is it to put corn in a pot of water and boil it. Most of the workers know us there. So they get it done for me plus I always tip 40% of the bill. The manager got mad at the waitress for trying to do it for me. The waitress told me that she got yelled at and was told don't ever do it again. How hard is it to boil water. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Over all the place and food were decent I have been here several times with family![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing I am very disappointed is the tri tip slider the tri tip was very good cook just right tender good because I have the sauce on the side so I can control of how sweet but VERY DISAPPOINTED with the veggies onion bell pepper came with slider was way too salty just like I ate only salt ( the cook need to give room for customers if we want more salty we just add salt ourselves instead of the cook loaded with salty stuff and the other dishes like brisket was way too dry. But the potato's skin was good.The tri tip salad and Asian salad were good as long as keep the dressing or sauce on the side. I forgot take photos of all the dishes. The baby back rip was very good as long as sauce on the side. Chicken was good! The waiters and waitress are very good services! read more

Wood Ranch BBQ is located in the Dos Lagos area of Corona. My daughter wanted brisket for dinner and I saw the menu had beef ribs (I'm a sucker for beef ribs) so we decided to check this place out. Parking is plenty but was pretty tight, even though we got there at 8. The inside was packed and we had to wait around 15 minutes for a table. They have a lot of options on the menu, items were a bit pricey... but when you're a foodie, that doesn't matter!! I ordered the 4 piece beef ribs combo with brussel sprouts & asparagus and my daughter ordered the brisket combo with loaded mashed potatoes & steamed broccoli. While we waited for our food, they served us complimentary bread rolls w garlic and butter which were freshly baked and still hot. The interior of the bread was really soft and the exterior was lightly crisp. Tracy was our server and she took very good care of us. She was very attentive and super sweet, making sure our drinks were filled and getting us what we needed (pickles and more sweet BBQ sauce). BRISKET: The brisket combo was good. Outer crust of the brisket was well seasoned w the right amount of fat layer and went well w the loaded mashed potatoes. Steamed broccoli was cooked perfectly, not soggy and slightly crisp.We liked the sweet BBQ sauce better than the spicy one. BEEF RIBS: The beef ribs were super tender, moist, and juicy!! Not dry at all, and very meaty for being back ribs. Asparagus was grilled perfectly and had good flavor. The brussel sprouts were ok, i wasn't too crazy about them since they were drizzled w the spicy BBQ sauce. I would've been fine without the BBQ sauce on it. Overall, an awesome dining experience at Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend!! read more

Shout out to Edgar our server he was so polite and attentive and offered some suggestions of his favorites. The wait was about 35 minutes place was packed as usual. Ordered the bacon burger and tri tip sandwich with ajus to dip and a house salad. Why does restaurant ranch hit different- so good. My tri tip sandwich was real Smokey apparently they smoke it over night. I also got a brisket and slaw sandwich and that was really good. It was huge messy and tasty! We will totally be coming again and next time I will order the ribeye per Edgar's suggestion. read more

I've been coming to Wood Ranch for years--this particular location for at least 16 of them. I share that because I've truly been a loyal customer and have seen this chain go through many changes. Unfortunately, my last three visits have been quite disappointing. This location has lost its luster and its touch, leaving me increasingly unsatisfied. I've always accepted the gradual price increases because the service and quality of the steaks made it worth it. It honestly breaks my heart to give such a low rating, especially since this restaurant has been the setting for date nights, birthdays, and so many celebrations in between. Today's visit started off rough. The server brought out plates that still had food stuck on them--not just a speck of seasoning, but an actual piece of chicken from a previous guest. My soft drink was completely flat. Our steaks, ordered medium rare, arrived rare. The fries were stale. Aside from the salad, everything missed the mark. Even my cocktail was a letdown. I truly hope this location can regain the quality and care it once had. read more

Service: 5 stars! Thank you Jonathan! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 5 stars! Nice patio with a view of if the lake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait time: 4.5 stars Food: 3.5 - 4 stars.

Honestly I've been to this wood ranch a few times, and each time I've been disappointed with the serving staff, some people just don't realize they work in hospitality. I feel like wood ranch needs people that WANT to work there. Bummer, I'll try out some different restaurants. Food is great there but you pay for the service and it lacks :/ read more

Food was great but Tesse's service was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond. Will be back again!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I mean when you get out of your car, the Smokey smell alone gets your tastebuds going![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated promptly. We started off with the Buffalo Cauliflower. Can I just say YUM! Don't even get me started on the bread rolls that are so fluffy inside but have a slight crisp on the outside that has been spritzed with garlic butter!!! I decided on the tri tip for my main entree and was so pleased that it came out prepared just the way I ordered. If you like a tender tri tip, this is where you go! Impressive! I opted for the baked potato and steamed broccoli for my sides. The broccoli......so perfect!!! I think my favorite thing about my meal was nothing was drowned in salt and over flavored. It was on the money with every bite. It felt healthy and delicious!!!!! The icing on the cake was the outstanding hospitality given to us by Abby. It was a great night out! read more

Great bbq food, the baby back ribs were so tender. Sides are varied and it's tough to choose one.the garlic bread is the best around.

Wood Ranch Corona - Baby back ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Corona, California

This was probably the best time I've had here from the service to the food! We came in for a nice date night looking for something to fill us up and a change of scenery! There were still a few tables of people enjoying their night and several people at the bar. Got there about 7:30pm or so and sat at the open seating in a booth at the bar. We were met quickly by several staff members within a few minutes welcoming us in and asking us for our drink order. We had a Cadillac Margarita and a Modelo Especia! We started off our night with the bbq chopped salad and added tri tip! The greens were fresh, corn was roasted perfectly, black beans added an excellent creaminess to the salad and the cilantro added a very nice herbaceous taste! We also ordered the full rack of baby back ribs with Mac n cheese and loaded mash for our entree. Everything was really good. Going from a night where I really didn't know what I wanted to eat to an excellent meal that really satisfied our hunger and flavor profile! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bartenders were great and very attentive and we enjoyed the energy of the dining room...it wasn't too loud or busy, but it was still very lively and an overall comfortable night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This isn't always a regular choice but after last nights experience it definitely moved up on the list for becoming a frequent spot to visit!
