Wood Ranch

We were supposed to meet my family at Olive Garden and on the way there we got a call that plans had changed and we would be going to Wood Ranch Bbq instead. We had never heard of it. Just because of the change it made me grumpy and I wasn't feeling like I wanted to like it. Typical hangry behaviour! It was packed inside on a Sunday evening but it was during winter holiday just after Christmas. We had to split our party into 2 booths back to back which worked out fine. We walked in with 10 people. Service was good and our waitress was attentive especially given how crowded it was. The food was really yummy. It wasn't typical bbq style like all smokey and barbeque saucy. It was properly grilled with really savory flavors. My sister is gluten free, corn free and soy free and had no trouble ordering. We sampled a lot and everything was pretty amazing from the farmhouse salad and burgers to the trout and French fries! I had the chicken tortilla soup and it was the best I've ever had. Everyone tried it and agreed!! Kids menus were provided too. Price is a little higher for a family dinner out but then again it is a steakhouse. The prices are comparable to any similar type of steakhouse. AND, had been prepared for Olive Garden pricing. My sister paid $100 for her and her 2 teenage kids which was 2 steaks and the trout. For the other 7 of us the price was $140 not too bad but 2 were kids meals and I just had the soup. We did not order anything extra or ala carte except the 2 grandmothers each had a glass of wine. If you plan for the expense...it is totally worth it.
