Wood Ranch is always a win but was extra delicious tonight. Shout out to Melody for being an outstanding server. A drink never ran dry, great recommendations and impeccable service. Some favs are the tri tip, smashed sweet potatoes and Lauren's Mac n cheese. The food hits the spot and we had a great view of the water and followed din with a walk along the path.
Laid back atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food!!! I had the beef ribs...they were so good I barely even used the sauce! I mean the sauce was awesome too, but the ribs were so tender and flavorful I barely used it. I had ordered the sauce on the side... Our servers were very attentive and friendly! It was well worth the 1 hour drive! I recommend it all!!! We came here for lunch, and it was very busy. If you have a large party I would recommend reservations...plenty of free parking available. A great place, and child friendly!
gets really busy, got there at 5pm on saturday and the wait from check in till our table was ready was exactly 64 min! i would recommend making a reservation on their website. ended up sitting at the bar - great margaritas and food came out fast. a little pricey per lb but 2 sides are included so it’s quite filling. the garlic bread rolls are friggin delicious. update: went back and food was just okay. no smokiness to it. wish there was better bbq in CA.
Wow! We had the best server. Even the people who brought food over, etc, were all genuinely kind. The food was outstanding. My father got the BBQ chicken salad and it was huge and delicious. We tried different sliders that were all good. The guacamole and chips were fresh and a great starter. Highly recommend!
Our server, Eric, provided exceptional service and ensured that we had a wonderful dining experience. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant, which offered a pleasant ambiance. We began our meal with appetizers, including the Firey wings and the 3-sliders, which were both exceptionally delicious and well-prepared. For our main courses, I opted for the Caesar salad and the Buckeye burger, cooked to perfection, while my son enjoyed the mac-n-cheese and 10 wings. My wife savored the 2-piece chicken breasts. Every dish was outstanding and exceeded our expectations.
Ways Great Food with Amazing service! The friendly wait staff are always happy to see you and ready to take care of your hunger pains. This Restaurant is always busy, but our wait was quick. Try them out and thank me later.
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.
We go every year for our Christmas work party, they always do such a great job. We've gone a lot of birthdays and special occasions, delicious food and really nice staff.
Food is delicious, customer service is excellent. Highly recommend it. Take out is also a great option.
I went with the steak and a loaded baked potato, and both were spot on. The steak was cooked exactly right — tender, flavorful, and clearly made with quality meat. No over-seasoning, no gimmicks, just a solid, well-executed steak. The loaded baked potato was the perfect complement: fluffy on the inside, crispy skin, and generously topped without being overdone. It felt hearty and satisfying, not sloppy. Service was smooth and attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere had that polished-but-comfortable vibe Wood Ranch is known for. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a real meal, and not feel rushed. Bottom line: great food, consistent quality, and a reliable spot for a satisfying meal. I’d absolutely order the steak and loaded baked potato again, and Wood Ranch Corona remains a go-to when you want something you know will be done right.
