    My wife and I have been eating at this location for many years. The food and service here is always exceptional. The aromas inside and outside are simply mouthwatering ! My Rib-eye was a thick, juicy, and tender cut of beef that was cooked perfectly medium-rare. Wifey's ribs were beautifully prepared with fall-off-the-bone deliciousness while our corn cobs were grilled plump and buttery. My sweet potatoes were smooth and satisfying along with my wonderful Caesar salad tossed with their sharp and tangy homemade dressing adding that full-on bold flavour! Our waitress Alianna was amazing and could not have been sweeter ! We didn't have to ask for anything as our drinks were always full, plates were continually cleared, and she always wore a smile. We never felt rushed at all as the restaurant was bustling. We will continue to make the drive from T.O. to this location because .. well .. it's the BEST ! Cheers !!

    Service was excellent and the portion sizes were very good. The food tasted great and was prepared well. We were in a booth, there were 3 of us I was next to someone and it was a bit cramped but okay. The restaurant noice level was not really loud and it was comfortable speaking with others at the table. All the servers and employees were very nice and welcoming. We had a nice dinner and will return.

    Wood Ranch in Moorpark is a very YUMMY 5 star place to go for BBQ. Service and food quality is consistently excellent!!! There are many locations in SoCal and it's a bummer this place is not in NorCal. It's always busy with customers and there may or may not be a wait. My recommendations to you are the BBQ Ribs or the Center Cut Tri-Tip and add a side of salad. The sides and side salads are a must and good choices to choose from. A must try place if you're visiting SoCal.

    Food is always soft fresh and delicious! You can smell it when just driving by on the street lol. Servers are always sweet and happy to help, it can be pretty crowded and loud, especially when they're playing loud music though.

    Chicken Salad

    Made reservations for lunch and were seated at a big booth right away. Very pleased with the staff especially our waiter Victor. The decor was inspiring to make you want to eat bbq style food with beef and great sides to choose from. We were brought menus ans drinks were ordered and received quickly. Then we looked over the big menu while we ate their sumptuous rolls. So warm and fresh and had such great flavor. We ordered lunch and I got a Brisket lunch plate with a side of peanut cake slaw type salad. The meat was so tender and soft and delicious and so was the light salad. Others got chicken salads and obe perosn got the biggest burger i ever saw. And she ate the whole thing!!! I was amazed. The rest of us had plenty of leftovers. I recommend making reservations as it can be quite busy. They also have a full bar.

    We love this place. We come here multiple times a year. All of their BBQ options are fantastic, as are all of their sides and salads. They have one of our favorite soups of all restaurants: a tri-tip mushroom soup. I cannot recommend that soup enough. Other than that, you can't really go wrong. I go back and forth between the brisket, tri-tip, and pulled pork. If I'm more hungry, then I will go with a dinner plate so that I can get two sides, but otherwise I'll get it as a sandwich. My favorite side is their peanut coleslaw; it's pretty unique to have peanuts in there, but it's super tasty. They are good for a small group (my wife and have gone just us two) or large groups (we've gone with 10 people). The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and they provide good recommendations and bring the food out in a timely and sensible way, no matter the group size.

    This place is so nostalgic for me... I grew up coming here with my family, enjoying the great food and atmosphere. It doesn't feel like the Wood Ranch that we grew up with anymore, but that's because it isn't. This chain has popped up locations all over and it's because they put an emphasis on good food and great service. That's exactly what we got... the service and food are still like I remember it which is great! The Buckeye burger was just like I remembered it and was cooked to perfection. The rolls are still amazing, but they only bring you a couple at a time which is kinda lame, but I'm sure it helps to cut back on food waste.

    Natalie's Salad (this was after my kiddo ate the avocado on top)
    Claudia T.

    There are good things about my experience here: -plenty of parking available -it was a party of 5 adults and 3 kiddos and were seated in under than 5 minutes around 2pm on a Saturday. -they have high chairs for the little ones -the server was awesome and was attentive. -the dinner rolls were delicious -restaurant was clean and staff were friendly Unfortunately, the greens in my salad seemed old and there were very very few cucumber slices. The avocado was fresh. They only had one vegetarian friendly sandwich to pick from and very few vegetarian options so my choices were limited. the mashed potatoes side was dry.

    Decent BBQ food, not too impressed with the Mac and cheese though cause it's super watery and the broccoli and corn taste burned sometimes.

    If you know anything about Gunsmoke BBQ and Beer in Santa Paula, you know their barbecue already…read morehas a solid reputation....but finally making it into their restaurant just confirmed everything I'd been hearing. 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.

    I sadly became a pescatarian right as Gunsmoke BBQ was opening. I have friends who have been…read morewanting to try it so I wanted to give it a shot as well. 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 would be mindful when you are planning to come for parking. I came with a friend midday so there was plenty of parking and seats as well so we got seated right away. 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.

    I visited M on High Street with my mom and sister over Mother's Day weekend, and overall we had a…read morevery enjoyable dinner. The food and cocktails were excellent, and it's clear the restaurant is striving to create an elevated dining experience. One thing that stood out was how thoughtful and inventive the menu felt. You can tell the chef has put a lot of creativity and care into the dishes, balancing familiar favorites with unique twists. It's definitely a cool and welcome addition to the Moorpark dining scene. We particularly enjoyed the Tropical Bird, Emma's Punch, Lemon Drop, and Mango Margarita Mocktail. The Crispy Calamari Strips were a great starter. For entrees, we enjoyed the Lamb Ragu, Parmesan Chicken Milanese, and Wild Mushroom Risotto with added chicken. All were all flavorful, beautifully prepared, and well-executed. The servings were huge (awesome!) and we had leftovers to enjoy the following day. The reason for the 4-star rating comes down to service details. While waiting to be acknowledged, we were overlooked by the hostess for other guests entering even though we were standing right in front of the host stand. Not a big deal, but didn't love the eye roll the hostess gave when I politely piped up that we had been waiting. Was not a great first impression. While our server was wonderful and friendly, there were several moments where empty plates and glasses accumulated on our table for an extended period of time. Our entrees arrived while many of our appetizer dishes and drink glasses were still sitting on the table. With several staff members circulating throughout the dining room, it felt like an opportunity was missed to provide the attentive table maintenance you'd expect from a restaurant aspiring to a fine dining level of service. These were relatively minor issues and seem more related to training and coordination than a lack of effort. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all very good, and with a little more polish from the support staff and greeters, I think M on High Street could truly become the upscale dining experience it's aiming to be. We'd definitely return and look forward to seeing it continue to grow.

Nice patio seating around a fire pit…read more The Bad: wait staff and bartenders seem to be confused about who was talking our order and who was responsible for I'd checks. Would not take order of first round of drinks without looking at our ID's. My wife and I are in our sixties, it was embarrassing because they made a huge production out of it. (No other patrons that I saw were subject to this scrutiny) The Ugly: we each had one drink and shared two yellow tail sashimi starters. Upon asking for another round we were rather surprised to find out our party was cut off from the bar. Water and bread only. The sashimi eaten we took the indignation in stride and decided to wait until the barmaid deemed it acceptable to serve us again. Now it gets bad, one of our party became ill and threw up in the bathroom, before we could even find out what was going on with her, barmaid from hell publicly informed us because one of our party was ill we were permanently cut off from the bar. Not considering the food as the culprit of said illness at all. My wife began to feel sick as well and we paid and left. She had trouble walking, speaking and breathing. She became violently ill and the smell of bad fish was overwhelming. I have a portable breathalyzer for guests to use at my home to ensure their safety if they drink. My BAC - .023 , my wife's was .024 obviously not intoxicated. Shame on M on High for such poor judgement and embarrassing their patrons. Avoiding this restaurant is going to be so easy as there's a plethora of good restaurants in the area. This is my experience, the Good, the Bad and, The UGLY.
