New Restaurant Review: WR Kitchen & Bar in Laguna NIguel

The NEW WR Kitchen & Bar is opening this Monday, May 6th at 11am in Laguna Niguel! 

Being brought to you by the delicious Wood Ranch Restaurant! If you're a BBQ fan I'm sure you've visited  Wood Ranch with OC locations in Irvine and Rancho Santa Margarita.   NOW you can get that same delicious BBQ along with new food and drink items exclusive to WR Kitchen & Bar, all in a casual family friendly dining setting. 

Even though this is casual dining, WR Kitchen & Bar still serves up the great service for which they are well known.  You'll order at the bar, and then find a place to sit in the dining room, bar or patio where their orders will be delivered. 

 The tables have these ingenious chips in them that tell the servers where to deliver your items so no going back up to the counter for your food!  Additionally, servers will stop by the tables to take additional orders for second cocktails, dessert or anything else a guest may want.



I recently visited during a preview and was so impressed with what a welcoming space the new venue is - with a lovely wrap around patio and a spacious comfy indoor seating area. If you're not in the mood to dine-in they also offer online-ordering, take-out and curbside service! 

As for the food, yes - they have all that delicious BBQ they're well known for but new items available exclusively here include tacos, filled with a choice of brisket, pulled pork, chicken, trout or cauliflower. 

I HIGHLY recommend the Spicy Chicken tacos which while filled with the juicy grilled chicken had a distinct Asian hint to them. If you like a little kick with a hint of sweetness you'll find these absolutely delicious. 

One of the new items I was over the moon for was the buffalo cauliflower - yes, this a trending dish that you see at many restaurants but the crispy version they have here is one of the best I've ever tried.

There's also a full bar, featuring hand-crafted batch cocktails made with fresh ingredients that shine through with each glass. Also available are 12+ craft beers on draft and several highly rated reasonable priced wine. 

The new WR Kitchen & Bar is located at 28061 Greenfield Drive, off Crown Valley Pkwy., in Laguna Niguel.  Hours: Sunday through Thursday from 11am to 10pm, and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 11pm. Phone: 949/342-4740 For more information, Visit www.WRKitchenBar.com and follow on Facebook and Instagram at @WRKitchenBar.
