Welcome to Wood Ranch

THE STORY OF WOOD RANCH

In 1991 , Ofer Shemtov and Eric Anders each worked more than 75 hours a week at a Los Angeles restaurant. After closing, they would relax by going to a movie and falling asleep right after the opening credits. As tired as they were and as hard as they worked, they knew that if they ever got the opportunity, they would create their own restaurant company and make it better. In 1992, with some help from friends and family, Ofer and Eric created Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill in Moorpark, CA. The restaurant, relatively small by today’s standards, became a great success in serving a community starving for good food and someplace to relax.

In 2007, the number of Wood Ranch restaurants serving Southern California reached 11. More are in the works.

WHY WORK AT WOOD RANCH?

These days, restaurant companies promise “competitive salaries” and “great benefits.” Wood Ranch does that too, but at Wood Ranch, you don’t get lost in a massive bureaucracy. Every member of the Wood Ranch team has the opportunity and is encouraged to make an impact and further their career. We love to see our people succeed and make every effort to help them do so. We’re big enough to compete and small enough to care.

Wood Ranch has been rated as "Top Barbecue Spot" and also earned a Certificate of Distinction for receiving outstanding scores in both food and service in the Zagat Restaurant Guide Los Angeles/Southern California, America's premier dining-out guide, for six out of the last eight years. Other awards include:
