“ We love the bbq here the staff is supper friendly as well. There is plenty sitting but I'm not sure why every time we DoorDash from here we don't get one of the items . ”
“ The GM, Lauren, called me back and was very apologetic about our bad experience. She offered to make it right by offering us a replacement meal either dine in or take out. I was very pleased with that offer and accepted it. It's refreshing when businesses want to make things right. Thanks much Lauren. ”
“ Food was wonderful and their hot rolls with honey butter was to die for! Their steaks melt in your mouth. ”
“ Wood Ranch has always been awesome, this location has a great atmosphere, the baked potatoes are cooked to perfection, the beef ribs are a little chewy and tough both times Ive been, maybe over cooked Im guessing because the restaurant is always full. The people are very friendly and its an overall great sports bar! ”
“ Julian was so helpful when I placed a large take out phone order in celebration of our Dad's 96th birthday. He took the time to help coordinate the dishes and sides everyone wanted in the most economical way for us, very much appreciated. Then when we came to pick up the order we had the pleasure of meeting another stand out team member, Mason. So personable and attentive to our order; voluntarily went through it all with us to be sure everything was there and offered up anything else we might need. Great staff at Rancho Santa Margarita Wood Ranch!! ”
“ Never been here before, and I was a bit hesitant due to the reviews of the customer service being so horrible. Maybe they have been doing improvements, or I dodged a a bullet. Nonetheless, Jazmine was our server, not only was she beautiful, she was sooooo amazing! beyond words amazing! She explained everything to us and gave her recommendations as it was our first time there. I loved it that she would check up on us and make sure that we were liking everything and if her recommendations were good. As for the food. It was delicious, but not life-changing . The dessert I would recommend would be the Oreo cookie crunch if you want something cold. Or the warm chocolate cake, which I feel is more brownie like. I definitely would come again especially because their drink menus looked good although I did not drink in this particular visit. I have attached my receipt so you can see an idea of pricing and what $100 gets you. Thanks again Jazmine for making our first time so amazing! See you soon. ”
“ This place was so great! Loved the vibe, food, and service! My favorite part is not having an empty glass on the table. The portions are over the top and left full It was my first time here and excited to go back! ”
“ We walked in on a whim on a Friday night. The joint was jumpin' - packed! - but there was one hightop near the bar which was open so we took it. The buttered garlic rolls they bring out to the table are incredible. I could just eat these one after the other until I'm more plump than a Thanksgiving turkey. For my meal I ordered a Carolina pulled pork sandwich with fries as my side. The fries were excellent and the sandwich was overflowing with tender pulled pork, slaw, and pickles. The fresh bun was sturdy but not overly thick. I thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. Our server was attentive, immediately bringing fresh iced tea when my glass was about to empty. We did seem to wait a long while when our plates were empty but when she did eventually reappear she took care of our bill immediately. As an aside, my wife ordered wings. I didn't try them but they were extremely meaty and half the price of BWW. She loved them. We decided to come here for wings for any future cravings. ”
