In Short
This isn't a typical barbecue joint, and the vibe and food are anything but rustic. Inside, families and couples at large booths and tables feast on mesquite-grilled BBQ in a modern, earth-toned setting. Slow-roasted meats, such as baby-back ribs and chicken, dominate the moderately-priced menu, but crowd-pleasers also include the 15-ounce Kansas City Strip, freshwater Idaho trout and balsamic shrimp. If that doesn't trip the trigger, Certified Angus Beef burgers and mile-high salads are other options.

Last evening, my wife and I stopped for dinner at the Wood Ranch in Agoura on the way home from Ventura. It is now 4p the following day and I'm still thinking about the tri tip I had last night. I'm 48 years old, I've traveled the country (including road trips across Texas) and this was easily the best piece of BBQ beef I have ever eaten. I ordered the meat medium as the server suggested. The generous portion was lean, flavorful, juicy and tender. I would easily take this Tri Tip over many of the fillets I have enjoyed over the last several years. The staff was friendly and the service excellent. If the food is inconsistent as other reviewers have suggested, then we caught a very lucky break.

I took a date to this place and she had the Natalie's salad. She loved it. I had the Grilled Vegetable Salad and added chicken. The grilled veggies had a little bit of smoke flavor. Nothing better!

My husband and I have been coming here at least once and week and ordering the roasted vegetable salad among other items. we went there tonight and they had changed the menu and now the salad was awful. I don't know who the chef is but he or she needs to wake up and stop trying to be innovative. If it's not broken don't fix it!
