The atmosphere is welcoming and casual at this Ventura County–based chain. Meats are the focus—rubbed with spices, slow cooked, and finished on the grill. Texas-style smoked brisket is served as an entrée with a choice of original or chipotle-cherry barbecue sauce. Rounding out the menu are fresh salads, like the Natalie’s: baby greens studded with candied pecans, gorgonzola crumbles, avocado chunks, and cucumber slices and dressed in balsamic vinaigrette; and the Asian Chicken, a mélange of mixed lettuce, scallions, carrots, almonds, crispy wontons, and mandarin oranges. A bountiful array of sides includes roasted brussels sprouts and Original Peanut Coleslaw. The signature dessert, WR Butter Cake, is topped with vanilla ice cream, fresh raspberries, and caramel sauce. Each location offers craft beers on tap and updated classic cocktails, like the Spicy Cucumber Margarita and Blackberry-Pom Martini.
