Wood Ranch

Wood Ranch is a Southern California-based restaurant chain renowned for its premium-casual dining experience. It offers a diverse menu that emphasizes high-quality, made-from-scratch dishes. Founded in 1992 by Eric Anders and Ofer Shemtov, it began with a single location in Moorpark, California. The company has since expanded to multiple locations across the region.

The menu at Wood Ranch features a variety of American cuisine, including signature items such as pork ribs, brisket, beef steaks, burgers, fresh fish, and chicken. These dishes are crafted using fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure a satisfying dining experience.

In addition to its main offerings, Wood Ranch provides a selection of innovative and healthy salads, appetizers, and homemade desserts. This variety caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary preferences.

To enhance the dining experience, Wood Ranch offers full bar service with a curated selection of beverages that complement its menu. The restaurant provides convenient take-out and catering services, making it suitable for both casual dining and special events. Families benefit from a children’s menu with options tailored to younger guests.

In response to evolving market demands and rising operational costs, Wood Ranch introduced a new concept called WR Kitchen & Bar. This hybrid model features a smaller footprint and a streamlined ordering system, allowing for quicker service and a more efficient dining experience.

The WR Kitchen & Bar format retains approximately 80% of the original menu, including popular items like wood-fired tri-tip, ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and salmon. It also introduces new offerings such as tacos with choices of brisket, pulled pork, smoked steelhead trout, or roasted chicken.
