5050 Cornell Road, Whizin Market Square, Agoura Hills, CA 91301, United States
Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill sits inside Whizin Market Square at 5050 Cornell Road. It’s easy to spot by the smell — hickory smoke drifts through the air long before you reach the door. People stop here after work, travelers pull off the freeway for lunch, and families fill the tables on weekends. It’s that steady neighborhood place that hasn’t tried to reinvent itself every season — and that’s part of its charm.
Guest Opinions
Most reviews hover around 4.5 stars. Guests mention steady quality, fair prices, and staff who remember returning customers. Some say parking in Whizin Market Square gets tight at dinner time, but that’s the only common complaint.
Food and Highlights
Barbecue Staples
The kitchen sticks to what it does best — meat cooked slowly over real wood. The Tri Tip and Baby Back Ribs draw most of the attention, smoky and tender without being heavy. The Brisket is lean but flavorful, and the BBQ Chicken comes with a crisp edge from the grill.
Everyday Choices
Not everything here is meat-centric. Guests often share salads, mashed potatoes, baked beans, or mac & cheese. Nothing fancy — just solid comfort food made with care. Portions are large enough for two.
Service and Health Support
Staff move quickly but don’t rush anyone. Orders come out steady, drinks stay refilled, and there’s always someone nearby if you need something.
If a guest suddenly feels unwell — say, dizziness or an allergic reaction — a licensed home-visiting doctor from the local network can be called directly to the restaurant. That service lets visitors get medical help on site, without leaving the table. It’s not something you notice until you need it, but it adds a quiet sense of safety.
Takeout and curbside pickup are available, and deliveries go through major apps. The Happy Hour runs Monday to Friday, 3 PM – 6 PM.

Why People Return
It’s a simple formula: consistent food, calm service, and no surprises. Regulars come for the ribs, stay for the easy atmosphere, and bring friends next time. Nothing overdone — just a place that works.
Nearby
After a meal, many guests walk around Whizin Market Square or head out to Paramount Ranch or Malibu Creek State Park. The area is quiet, so the restaurant often ends up being the liveliest spot around.
In Short
Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill doesn’t chase trends. It serves good barbecue, treats guests decently, and keeps things running smoothly. And if something unexpected happens — from a sudden allergy to a dizzy spell — help can come right to the table. That mix of steady food and quiet care is what keeps this place part of everyday Agoura Hills life.
