Best BBQ in OC!

October 04, 2011

Craving award-winning barbecue pulled pork and tasty baby back ribs? You’re in luck. The Orange County Register and the Los Angeles Times just crowned Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill as the best barbecue in OC, and in SoCal respectively. Now Irvine Spectrum Center boasts a new Wood Ranch that’s the best-looking location we’ve ever been in. We love the contemporary interior, attention to detail and fantastic wood ceilings. It’s serving dinner this week after 4 p.m. and starting Monday, it will open for lunch and dinner daily, beginning at 11 a.m.

At Wood Ranch, start with its famous slightly buttered garlic rolls, then depending on what you’re hungry for choose from certified angus beef steaks and burgers; prime rib; slow-roasted, mesquite-grilled tri tip roasts; premium American baby back ribs; Carolina pulled pork; and locally-raised fresh chicken.

Fresh seafood options include Idaho trout and Atlantic salmon menu, as well as unique salads, and delicious desserts meant to be shared.

For kids 10 and under, there’s an award-winning children’s menu that named “One of the Best Kids Menus in America” by Restaurant Hospitality magazine. They can choose from BBQ trip tip sandwiches ($6.99), beef ribs ($5.99), mac & cheese ($5.49) and mor. All meals come with a side dish and milk, chocolate milk, fresh lemonade, or soda.

Stop in for happy hour, Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., and enjoy specials on drinks and appetizers in an interior sporting a great bar with big screen TV's or outside on the patio to enjoy the weather.
