I placed an order and told them the time I would want the food ready by because I was going to pick it up later than 45minutes. Well when I pick it up the fries are cold so I sent them back. I ordered cake and ice cream and the ice cream was melted. The manager said she would take care of the ice cream and the fries. Well she did and I thought all was well but the mashed potatoes I discovered were dry when I ate them. She barely gave me a whole scoop of ice cream, leaving enough for only half of the cake. Also the cake was not cooked well enough on the inside. I spent so much money on my food I am disappointed with their service and the overall quality of the food. The baby back ribs barely had any meat on the bone. It was such a disappointment... I tried their “French toast” a day before today (last week) that was also just horrible. I regret the money I spent here and I do not recommend.

New Year, new place. My wife and I tried Wood Ranch in Corona and it was okay for me. She had the chicken and brisket with sweet mashed potatoes. I tried the lunch special cheese burger and brisket sliders with brisket and mushroom soup, and sweet mashed potatoes. Her chicken was dry (they said it was brined) and flavorless. She didn't like the soup (she tasted mine) I thought it was good, wifey said it tasted like it was out of the can. I liked the rolls that they serve. Hot and fluffy and buttery! Good stuff. My sliders were okay, and the sweet mashed potatoes were good. The best part of my experience was our server, Jessica F. She was awesome. She handled my wife's dissatisfaction with professionalism, was apologetic, and genuine. She removed the item from my tab. Just perfect! Thank you Jessica F. I will be back, my wife, not so much. Happy New Year 2023!!

This place is awesome! My husband and I met at another Wood Ranch in Irvine nearly 8 years ago. So that’s a plus 😁 after many years, and even though the menu hasn’t changed we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Skin potatoes had a few bbq chicken pieces and raw cut onions- not a fan of that. Burger w grilled onions, tomato and lettuce was yummy. Fries were standard. Perfectly cooked medium rare and a nice bun. My husband ordered the brisket (slowly cooked) with steamed broccoli (a bit over cooked) and coleslaw (non-mayo based) super good and freshly made. Service was awesome by Alex. Enjoyed the blackberry pom martini. Recommend going here especially if you don’t want to wait an hour at Hanna’s lol Great date night place!

The RIbs are Good...But Not so Impressed with the Salmon and Always Not Always Worth The Wait as The Last time we had Extended Family and they Served Other Tables that Came in After us before us and got the Order wrong and were Out of a lot of Items and just super slow our Grandchildren were starving and I let the FOod Server Know but she was ringing up bills instead of bring our food so it came out inconsistently and randomly some hot some as if it was lukewarm/dried up and drinks were forgotten and she seemed a bit stress as well as the other servers as they kept changing hands/tables and brushing us off...It took over an hour to get served after we already waited over 1/2 hour to get seated///We were almost ready to walk out...This seemed to be the case even when we had previously come in as a couple...I like to support my local business yet find it a bit sad that the quality of service keeps getting slower and slower and they often run out of the specials and or the food servers are in training and easily confused/struggling and changing hands due to being over booked and or in training forgetting the orders etc...So it got tiring after giving them a few chances in hopes of getting dinner served as...

The food, service and atmosphere here got a five-star rating from me. But the main star rating of only three is because there are hardly any non-meat options. Of course I understand this is a barbecue restaurant, but they really should offer more vegetarian options. Myself, my daughter and another person in our party all wanted a non-meat dinner. We were with a large group. Myself and the other person ended up with a dinner type salad, my daughter a Caesar salad, and then my daughter got a side of mac and cheese and I got a baked potato as a side to go with the salad. There are side dishes that are no meat, like brussel sprouts, asparagus, sweet potato, fries, etc. But it would really be nice if they added an Impossible Burger to the menu or even some type of tofu option, Or maybe a cauliflower steak. They do have one veggie burger here, but it contains nuts and the person we were with is allergic to nuts and I myself have a sensitivity to nuts. There really are quite a few things that they could add that would be nice for people who do...
