An exciting new addition to the area’s culinary scene, the wood-grilled haven is tailored to today’s sophisticated, time-challenged guest with a focus on serving delicious, high quality food in an energetic environment. As the offshoot of the Southern California-based chain, Wood Ranch, WR Kitchen & Bar is ready to bring its own tasty flair to the city’s hungry guests.

“Wood Ranch brand with a twist”

Featuring a wood-fired open kitchen, WR Kitchen & Bar offers an a la carte menu, allowing each guest plenty of options to customize their order. The eatery has also honed its menu, offering a wide price range to accommodate every diner’s budget.

Celebrating the recent 27th anniversary of Wood Ranch, co-founder Eric Anders is helping to take everything they have learned to expand their “Wood Ranch brand with a twist” to satisfy today’s on-the-go visitors who are craving high quality food, fast service and inviting surroundings when they dine. Says Anders, “We’re excited and proud of what we’ve developed, and believe our guests will be, too!”

At WR Kitchen & Bar, guests will be greeted upon arrival and invited to order from a station at the bar before choosing from the location’s vast seating options in the dining room, bar or patio. The meal will then be delivered, with servers available throughout the entire visit for additional tableside service, whether it’s ordering another round of drinks, dessert, or for special requests.
