Woody’s Bar-B-Q

I think it might be under new management or something, because this place used to be really good, but it seems that they sold out and have done a lot of substitutions to «cut corners» or drive down their costs or something. Food quality just isn’t the same. Used to be far better than Sonny’s, now it’s below. I remember when I was younger it used to be packed at night, now on a friday night there was a handful of people. I ordered a beed brisket sandwhich, and i think it was pulled pork, I’m still not really sure but kind of blah. If I’m on that part of town, I’ll spare the extra 5 minute drive to Bubbalous

First of all, Woody’s in Oviedo is under new management, and they’ve really got it together. We’ve been in several times in the last few weeks and always come out satisfied. They have some great deals going on right now. 10% off if you bring in your last receipt (with in 7days). I got the all you can eat chicken for $ 6.99. Very tasty! They keep bringing more and more. Your choice of dark or white meat. I like the dark. Very juicy! If you like BBQ, Woody’s is the place for you.

I’ve been several times and never had bad service.
Their ribs have the best flavor I can find and still maintain that fall-​off-​the-​bone goodness. Honestly my favorite ribs on the planet. The «Sloppy Woody» pulled pork sandwich is also amazing and a must-​have. I’m not much of a sides person (doesn’t seem like the reason you’d go to a BBQ joint, right?) but I like their baked beans a lot. I recently moved but make sure to go to Woody’s every time I’m in town.
Do yourself a favor and try their baby-​back ribs and Sloppy Woody.

I have been going to Woody’s for years and it has become one of my favorite BBQ restaurants (way ahead of Sonny’s!!) Unfortunately, this particular location seems to have ALOT of problems. There service is all around terrible. We spent 50 minutes waiting for our food today and while we waited… we repeatedly had to find our waitress for refills on the drinks. During this waiting period, she was very difficult to find and when she was around, was very unaware of what was going on. At one point, she poured a cup of coffee for one of my friends over my shoulder and SPILLED it all over my shoulder! Unreal! The food arrived and was mediocre at best, If you are in this area… drive down the street to Bubbalou’s and you will be happier, even though you pretty much take care of yourself there… at least I know I can fill my own drink there.

We arrived at 4:00pm on Father’s Day. The place was not busy, two large partys (a 6 and a 8 top), one 2 top and our party of 3. We were seated by the bus boy. As we looked around we noticed every table was dirty. No one greeted us. When we were finaly approached by the waitress, the party of 2 behind us left. They had grown tired of waiting.
Our drinks came promptly and it was down hill from then.
Our food took about 25 min to arrive. Two orders of the Deep Fried Catfish, One Chix and Baby Back rib combo. The chicken was as dry as the catfish was wet. When the catfish sticks were broken open a liquid poured out. The greenbeans were good but a bit was lost as they were served in a plastic to– go container. The «silverware» was soft plastic, that bent while cutting. The remainder of the meal was bland with the exception of the garlic bread, it was burnt. We never saw our waitress again untill a new table was sat. She checked on us on her way to that table. We had already finished. We recieve a Father’s Day coupon for our next visit, we tossed it into the trash on our way out. We will not go back again.

I ordered the Woody’s Barbeque combo with pulled pork and beef brisket with baked beans and cole slaw as the sides (around $ 8.50) .
First of all the cole slaw tasted a bit off, the lettuce was chopped a little bit too small and so gave it too crunchy of a texture and the slaw sauce was eh. The bbq beans were better, and I liked how it was a tad bit spicy, but I got tired of it soon too. The beef brisket and pulled pork tasted the same, I really couldn’t tell the difference between them, it was just okay not the greatest but not the worst.
For dessert however, the banana pudding was absolutely delicious: sweet yellow custard crème over a soft breading mixed with slivers of banana ($ 2.99)

I quit going to Woody’s back before the small room in the back stopped being the smoking area, but I don’t remember when that was. Reason at the time was not because the food was bad, it was because the restroom was pretty nasty and I assumed the people handling my food probably used the same restroom.
Went back recently for lunch to see if it had improved. My wife has complained that we never stop there when we go out, so we did. I checked out the restroom and it is marginally better, but still pretty bad. I didn’t want to just walk out, since my wife seemed to be looking forward to eating there, so I kept my mouth shut and hoped for the best.
The service was half-​good. We got one order correct out of two. My wife’s beef sandwich order arrived as a plate of sliced pork, which was convenient, since that’s what I had. It made it easy to point out how slicing the pork with the grain makes for tough strands of meat instead of tender pieces. Might fool people into thinking they get a lot for their money, since it takes longer to chew.
Otherwise, the service was acceptably mediocre, the look of the place still quaint but shabbier than last time I was there, and the cleanliness still questionable enough that I won’t be back anytime soon.

Just visited Woody’s recently and was disappointed. It’s not what I remembered when I first tried it.

The so-​called «aficionado» above didn’t try the baby-​back ribs. This place puts their soul into the baby back ribs, and it shows. Hands down the best B.B. ribs on this side of town. Do not go to Woody’s for anything else (maybe the sweet tea…).

As a barbeque aficionado who has traveled all of the American South sampling barbeques from different states, I can honestly say that the quality of Woody’s Barbeque is mediocre at best. I’m not alone. In my table of 4, not one of us had a good meal. It had nothing to do with the service, it had nothing to do with the atmosphere, it was simply the quality of the food. You can get better barbeque at TONS of places not only in the country, but in this very zip code! I mean, the nearby chains of Sonny’s and Bubbalou’s for instance have far better barbeque.
Most of us had the barbeque pork sampler so we could try a little bit of everything. The spare ribs were incredibly tough. The smoked sausage tasted like any typical American sausage that you could get at any breakfast establishment like IHOP. The toast was dry, the barbeque sauce was nothing special, and the side dishes were horrible. (green beans and sweet potato) The only part of the meal that could be considered «average» would be the pulled pork and the sliced pork. I’ve had far better though. Also, the corn nuggets for appetizer weren’t bad, but nothing special and certainly no reason to rush over there.
For half of what I paid, I could have gone to Sonny’s and gotten all you can eat of better sliced pork that was actually tasty rather than bland. Honestly, with everything, I had to drench it in barbeque sauce. The only reason Woody’s gets two stars is because the friendly service. But, the food is at the core here and they need to be able to back up the good service with some at least decent food. Maybe I’ve been very fortunate with BBQ, but I always found that it was hard to find a place with bad barbecue like this through and through.

SLOPPY WOODY!!!
ingenius!!!
a sloppy job with chopped pork rather than low quality burger!
Man, it’s tasty!
wish i had one now! whoops… theyre 1000 miles away!
maybe you can be so lucky!

first and foremost i will say the pulled pork was finger-​licking good! i am pretty sure i ate most of it without the bread and with my fingers! the best way to eat any kind of bbq food.
any of their sides are just swell, but i am partial to their potatoes. baked or fried, its all goooooood! Happy Eating!

I feel like a traitor to Bill’s vinegar-​base barbecue, but the tangy, rich red barbecue sauce on smoked turkey breast, ribs, brisket, or chicken is damn good stuff. Be sure to get it with zesty baked beans and extra Texas toast. I loved this inexpensive local chain of barbecue joints with the woody interior, big olé picnic table seating and even the crappy iced tea. About once every two weeks Mark and I would sneak out of work for a long lunch here. My absolute favorite is the turkey, so be sure to try it.
