If I could leave less than 1 star, I would! We met family here for dinner at 4:30 on a Sunday. We all ordered about the same thing. An hour went by, no food. One person asked the waitress about it and she assured us the food was being made. Another 30 minutes later, 3 of the 7 people in our party got their food. I waited an additional 10 minutes before tracking down the waitress to see about the rest of us. She told me the kitchen had been "slammed". This was an absolute lie since the 7 of us and 1 other couple were the only people who had even ordered food. The waitress looked and acted high and could not really even answer my questions. We walked out! That is why I gave the food NO STARS! We never got it. Going to our car (parked in the back), we came into the alley and immediately smelled marijuana smoke. There were 3 men at the picnic table in the back of the restaurant taking a break and smoking. I can only assume that is what had happened to the cooks for the establishment. My advice is to never go here. If you must, DO NOT go hungry! It's a shame, since Woody's used to have the best tenderloin in the area. The owners really need to do some major "house cleaning" of employees to get the place back to presentable for public service.

Woody’s is the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall bar, exactly as expected. There’s no pretension here—just a local watering hole with a relaxed, nostalgic vibe. The liquor selection is straightforward, offering the basics without any frills. What stands out, though, are the people. Both times I visited, the staff was welcoming and friendly, creating a laid-back atmosphere that made you feel like a regular right away.
The bar has that classic dark, cozy feel with a bit of character, and if you’re a smoker, this is a place where you can light up without issue. They also accept both cash and credit, making it convenient. It’s not flashy, but it’s a solid spot for a casual drink with no fuss. Definitely a place that feels like it’s part of the neighborhood.

Waitress was real nice and it was just a chill environment would recommend if you are in lapel

Very unassuming everyday sort of place which surprisingly had very polite and helpful staff. My wife and I had pizza, and our friends shared chicken breasts covered with cheese. The pizza was particularly good. A single order of chicken was more than two could eat. I can easily recommend the place for casual dining

-- Fun little dive bar. Good bar food. Clean fryer grease and grill. Bands on weekends. All inclusive welcoming type people.
