    Kids' BBQ rib plate with mac and cheese, roll, and sauce -- simple and done right.
    Richard F.

    First time back at Wood Ranch near Stevenson Ranch in years. Had it picked up to go and kept it simple with the kids' BBQ beef rib plate just to see where they're at. Glad I did. It comes with one rib, mac and cheese, rolls, and BBQ sauce. I'll be real--I was hoping for two ribs--but the one I got was tender, flavorful, and done right. Nice bark, juicy inside, and the sauce didn't overpower the meat. Mac and cheese was solid, and the rolls are always good--first time for someone with me, and they definitely didn't go to waste. Everything held up great even as takeout. Clean plate. No leftovers. This did exactly what I needed--reminded me why this place has the reputation it does. Already looking forward to coming back and doing a full meal next time.

    Burger and baked potato

    My mom and I came in for dinner and had a lovely time. Our server Lauren was very sweet and attentive. I had the burger and for my side I chose the baked potato. The burger patty was massive and very flavorful! I also really enjoyed the complimentary garlic rolls, they're delicious!!

    We celebrated my brother's birthday at Wood Ranch. My husband and I had not been here for some time. The menu has not changed much. The freshly baked Garlic Rolls were warm and nostalgic. All the women had the BBQ Chopped Salad. My husband had The Ultimate -- this was HUGE. He made quite the mess trying to bite into it until finally giving in to using a knife and fork. All the kids selected from the Kid's Menu. The birthday boy chose Beef Ribs. It was all fresh and well prepared. Good portions. My sister-in-law brought an ice cream cake. Our super-sweet server refrigerated it while we had dinner, then brought it out all set up with lit candles, along with a knife, plates, utensils and extra napkins. Drink refills had to be requested and slow to arrive. But I can look past that given that they were so accommodating to our large party and outside cake.

    Service was great we sat by the bar area side. Didn't have to wait long to be seated the host was very sweet and our server was very attentive. The food came out pretty fast and was very tasty.

    The last time I was at the Valencia Wood Ranch was about 15 years ago, shortly after it opened, as I remember. I didn't consider it a vegetarian-friendly place so I didn't hurry back. But, I wanted to give it another shot since lately I have been pleasantly surprised by a few similar sports bars in greater LA (see those reviews), so why not revisit WR? My immediate impression upon walking in is that, on a late weekend afternoon, Wood Ranch draws a distinctive clientele, i.e., older, steak and potato lovers, sports fans, and beer consumers. Which is exactly the right thing the area needs, set in the middle of some residential complexes that support this very kind of place. In fact, we now have no fewer than a dozen sports bars and restaurants within a few miles of our home -- a sign that these places are thriving and have found their people. I also noticed it was smaller than I remembered, laid out so you have lots of little areas and not one cavernous room. This keeps things intimate and the noise in check. It is clean, cheerful (from the greeters to our upbeat server, Zach), to the mixed genre of music playing at the right volume in the background. There is a large horseshoe bar in the middle and lots of screens to watch sports. The Dodgers and Padres were on, so there was a fair amount of patron reaction, which made things lively and homey. The decor is a little bit dated but then again, the familiarity is what makes it perfect for long time patrons. We had a bright booth next to the large and easy to access parking lot so I could keep an eye on my beloved ebony S80 while we ate. The menu is a meat-lover's dream. We were early enough for the lunch selection and I shot a picture of what was available. Nonetheless, there was enough that we were able to put together an ample assortment of vegetarian and vegan dishes and take our usual bagful home, in nice crystalline plastic containers and a crisp clear bag that Zach thoughtfully brought us. In my photos you can see what we chose. Almost every single item was excellent. The only disappointment was the mac 'n' cheese and only because it was utterly flavorless. However, I had the best veggie burger I have had in a decade, home made, clearly thoughtfully assembled with a delicious variety of vegetables and grains, heaped with onions, lettuce, pickles, avocado, tomato and cheese on what must have been the soft giant bun. Also, the Caesar salad, mashed sweet potatoes, crisp roasted asparagus, and complimentary buttery rolls were all exceptional. The prices are very reasonable. This is a good, solid, comfortable place to enjoy lunch, stress-free. Everything is smoothly done. Zach was super patient, the food came out quickly at the right temps for each dish, nicely plated, in generous portions. It won't be another fifteen years before we return. Happy to have Wood Ranch in our neighborhood.

    BBQ Chopped Salad
    Katherine M.

    Wood ranch you have my heart with your barbecue chopped salad and the warm rolls. This was my first time at this location, we had a big party but the wait time wasn't terrible for a Friday night. This was one of the hottest days we've had this month (August) and we decided to get seated outdoors as it would be quicker. Sitting outside in the heat isn't always ideal but they had multiple fans going and it cooled the patio pretty quick. Which definitely made for a better experience. Our server did his job and checked up on us a few times. He helped with menu questions and had great recommendations. However some items were forgotten when our food came out and it was bit hard to get a hold of our waiter since he had many tables, which we completely understood. The food was delicious you could taste the smokiness of the grill and everything was cooked to perfection. Some of the members of our party got the baby back ribs and they just fell off the bone. My favorite was the bbq chop salad with tri tip. Honestly can't wait to go back and order the salad once again.

    I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Wood Ranch. I arrived with my trained service dog, who is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Instead of allowing us to be seated inside like any other customer, the staff told me that the only place we could sit was outside because of my service dog. A service dog is not a pet, and businesses that are open to the public are required to allow trained service dogs to accompany their handlers anywhere customers are normally permitted. Being told I couldn't sit inside made me feel excluded and embarrassed simply because I rely on a service dog for a disability. I hope Wood Ranch provides better ADA training for its staff so that other customers with disabilities do not have to experience the same treatment. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and have equal access to a restaurant, regardless of whether they have a service dog.

    Not a stranger to wood ranch but it was my first time at the Valencia location! I love coming specifically for their lunch special which is 2 sliders of your choice with a soup or salad and a premium side for 18$! I got the hamburger sliders this time with their mashed potatoes and their soup of the day which on Mondays us the Tri tip mushroom soup! I am fixated on this damn soup because it's SO GOOD it might as well be gravy. It's super thick and flavorful. Super comforting, it paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes and complementary bread! We were sat immediately and a girl server took care of us, she was so sweet. Overall chefs kiss, I absolutely loved everything, 10/10s all around.

    Friendly and welcoming staff. Roomy and clean dining area. Good amount of natural light near the windows. Meats in the sandwiches were cooked well and nice hearty portions. Great road trip late lunch early dinner on the way home. Thank you Wood Ranch

    BBQ Chopped Salad
    Andrea B.

    Thank you so much to our sweet server Dallas who let my friend and I occupy a space here for 2 hours while catching up!! I had never been to a Wood Ranch before so when my friend suggested she and I meet half way for dinner I was excited to try it out. The dinner rolls are delicious, we both ordered salads which we loved and the atmosphere was also nice and a cozy place to get out of the rain. She and I may have to meet here again to try other items!!

    Tri Tip 10oz with fries
    Peter X.

    My wife and I visit this Wood Ranch location yesterday to grab lunch when we were in the area. We found parking just fine since this restaurant is in a plaza with many parking spots. When we walked inside, you'll notice that this place is smaller that other Wood Ranch location. We got seated quick at the bar area so I was able to watch the basketball game. Our waiter Kenan was amazing, he was attentive and friendly with us during our visit. I got the Tri Tip steak with fries and my wife got the Asian chicken salad. My tri tip was cooked perfectly at medium and was delicious. My wife thought her salad was okay but it wasn't her favorite. The men's bathroom here is very small with 2 stalls and there no privacy when using the urinal so just be aware of that.

    The break room was such a surprise highlight of my weekend spent up in Santa Clarita. When my…read morefriend suggested coming here for dinner, I was kind of confused. However, after spending a full night there hanging out, having fun, I see why she wanted to show me this place. Everything between the vibe, to the food, to the drinks, to the friendly people there; made it an amazing experience from start to finish. The portion size here are huge so we were able to share everything! We got a folded sandwich the turkey hamwich, their TBR burger, spicy turkey n' bacon melt, and their wings Amy's way, and wow. Everything was cooked too perfection, extremely flavorful and it came out very fast. Amazing service. After dinner, we stayed because the DJ was playing absolute bangers!!!!! The bar staff all were so kind and friendly. I never felt more welcome from staff like that before. They have this super cool menu of cocktails that are inspired by the pool balls numbers! I was able to tried them all, and the number 5 ball Whiskey Sour is my personal favorite! A close second is their Break, Run, Repeat cocktail! Definitely give those a try. We got to play both pool and darts. Their tables are in such nice condition, well taking care of and they are all diamond tables. The break room gave me a amazing night out with my friends. I never been to a place like this before. I can't think of one negative thing to say, my visit here was pure fun. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town, and hoping OC gets a place like this soon.

    We didn't order food, but we came out for 45 minutes of pool and a two rounds of shots of cheap…read moretequila and ended up with a bill of $130 . The place was clean and our server was very nice, but the prices are absolutely ridiculous and consider highway robbery for a billiards date. There is no shot of tequila under 15 bucks and the rates just to play pool are absurd. We didn't even try the food. And we probably won't be back because even they're happy hour. Prices are still quite ridiculous. Edit: I appreciate the clarification regarding the individual charges. To be clear, my review was not alleging that I was charged for something I didn't order or that the prices were undisclosed. My review was simply sharing my personal experience that I found the pricing unusually high for the amount of time we spent there and that it affected my decision to return. I understand that businesses have operating costs and are entitled to set their prices, just as customers are entitled to decide whether those prices fit their budget. I wish your business continued success.

Our waitress introduced herself and took our app and drink orders promptly. The ambience was nice. Very relaxed and quaint. Small seating area. My partners french onion soup took about 10 minutes to arrive. A little slow. The flavor was rich. The onions were a little underwhelming. The broth itself was over seasoned to account for it. Ive been a Chef for over 20 years on the Vegas Strip. Im not picky. The opposite actually. I just continually had the feeling the food here forgot the basics and was trying things outside its skillset. He ordered the New York au Poivre. Myself ordering the lacquered duck breast. Our food didnt arrive for 45 minutes and our drinks sat empty for 10-15 minutes at a time. Not acceptable for such a small seating room. Our plates were cold although the waitress said they were hot. His steak came out cooked perfectly but the use of peppercorn was a bit much for his palate. My duck was overcooked and soaking in its own fat. I cook duck daily. Nothing was hot on my plate. All the veggies were cold and bland. No flavor. Just a horrible experience. Maybe the worst restaurant experience ive encountered. We are glad to be back in Vegas.
