I've heard many good things about this place and was happy to finally have a chance to give them a try.
Unfortunately, the hype didn't meet my expectations. We tried the salads, one BBQ and one 3-Meat. They both contain meats that were julieneed and generous portions on top of each. The salads themselves were a good size. The dressings are homemade (Ranch and Blue Cheese were both delicious.)
Service was great. There is ample parking. The interior decorations were really nice, including the signed photo of John Wayne.
So why only 4 stars? Well, the meat just didn't take my breath away. I know we had rabbit food underneath but this should have been a way to sample the quality of their BBQ and my 3-meats were good, but not great. Frankly, they didn't have much flavor at all. No spice rub, no smokiness. The sauces on the table were also mediocre.
If I hadn't eaten BBQ at a few other places that were exceptional, I probably would have leaned into 5 stars instead of 4, but between that and the disappointment after hearing how amazing their food is just swung me the other way.
I will definitely give them another try down the road and maybe see how the ribs are, and update my review accordingly. I admit that chunks of meat vs. strips might not be a totally fair judgement, so next time I'll go for something more substantial and see how it goes.
Theresa is The Best Waitress. She’s half the reason I go there. Her and her mom are always sweet/friendly. Remember what I order , no matter how long it’s been since I came in. Other than that it’s a descent and quick BBQ lunch spot. Been going there for 15 years.
I have never been to Woodys before today. The service was amazing. The food portions are big and were delicious! I will be back.
I had a marvelous time here, thanks to our waitress Denise. We sent her back and forth and, she was happy to give us what we needed and wanted. Thank you so much denise for a amazing time.
Absolutely love when there's an issue; the company cares enough to fix it! It's such a rare occurrence that you have to respect the Manger Claire for her professionalism, empathy, knowledge, and standards. I highly recommend this restaurant. 👌
The cook in the back ( his name starts with a "D") is amazing. Our server, Maria, was so attentive and helpful. Their coconut cream pie is made FRESH! If you love coconut, I highly recommend it. Their brisket and smoked chicken wings, paired with the chipotle ranch, is fantastic. The quality of the food, dessert, and customer service is impeccable!!! My mother and I will return!!

Love this place. They quit serving the fried mushrooms and almost broker me down. Owner, you don’t remember me but I remember you I have been coming here about 20 years. I want my mushrooms back lol
Great place for lunch. The people are friendly and awesome. Theresa pretty much has my order memorized. They have the normal bbq offerings but I normally do the woody's burger as it's one of the best burgers I've had. Pricing is good as well. Thanks for reading.
This place surprised me! I am trying to look for a BBQ place but Sonny’s, and find out this one online then give a try. The baby back ribs taste good, service is awesome people are so friendly here! Definitely want more people know and I will be back!
My friend and I have been here twice, each time beter than before, food excellent, the service was great, will be back
It's a simple restaurant, but very family-friendly. clean, I liked their care in the bathroom, they put things for baby care in the bathroom and I thought that was really cool . and the waitresses are very attentive. the food is good but there was something cold on my plate. But that won't stop me from going back there again.
Had lunch with my daughter there about a week or so ago. Our server was amazing, corn nuggets, and nanner pudding was fantastic
Great food! Driver for yrc out of town. Good amount of food. The Woody's taste is what I think order. The name might be wrong. Great customer service!!! Next time back in Jacksonville FL. This is my place to EAT. Thanks you Woody Bar- B- Q!!!
Makes me sad seeing this place so empty. Didn't use to be like this. Service was good, food was good.
