Woody's @ City Market

05/21/2008 Posted by mightyt

I have been going to woody's for some time now. I have eaten wings from coast to coast. These are pretty much the best I have ever had. I have read other comments on how the service has been bad in the past. I tend to agree with that though I must admit it has gotten much better in the past year. I actually spoke with the owner (which acknowledged the past service issues) and has taken steps to hire better people (anyone that has worked in a restaurant knows that is not always an easy task). Give it a try, even if your not a sports fan, the atmosphere is good and the plasmas are everywhere.

Pros: Wings, plasmas, and lots of sports

Cons: service is getting better

My friends and I went to Woody's @ City Market on New Years Day to work off a hangover and watch the Bowl games. Our intention was to grab a few drinks, eat some luinch, check out the early games and move on. Well a couple of hours turned into many hours, pints ran into pitchers, lunch was followed by dinner and the evening bowl game was entering the 4th quarter. Can not tell ya the last time we had so much fun. The staff was great, the plasmas are great for sports and the food was really good for bar food. By the way the Wings are the bomb! Going back for the Superbowl!!

Pros: Beer selection, TV's, Specials, Wings

Cons: no golden tee, no foosball

While visiting city market my party and I were intrigued by Woody's and thought it would be a great place to grab some lunch in such a quaint and interesting area. The menu choices were appealing and we all had trouble deciding what to choose to eat. After we ordered, it took 40 minutes for the rest in my party to get their food. Mine arrived at least 10 minutes afterwards and our waitress had forgotten that she didn't bring me my food until I reminded her. She seemed very unaware of what was going on at her tables but I did see her spending plenty of time counting out money (i'm assuming figuring out her tips). My cheeseburger had very dry meat and the bun was extremely dry as well. The fries with cheese were good however. The buffalo sub consisted of mostly breading with tiny pieces of chicken and gave my boyfriend an upset stomach. My cousin ordered the chicken strips which looked good and he said they weren't bad but tasted like the frozen kind he makes at home. We do plan on returning to City Market but never to Woody's.

Pros: location, atmosphere

Cons: service, food, prices

I hate Woody's. It was my best friend's birthday and my end of school celebration. It took over an hour for our food to come out and fifteen minutes after that my mother STILL had NOT gotten hers. The incompetent waitress said four times that it would be out in a minute.. about every ten minutes. By this point we were all extremely upset and disappointed and when we voiced our complaints the manager (who was also supposidly the OWNER) not only refused to see us, but would not compensate in any way for our displeasure, not even with a simple apology... AND my mother NEVER got her order. We had to pay for everything even though hardly any of us ate because we were so sick to our stomachs that we couldn't. My friend and I were supposed to be celebrating and instead we left still hungry and incredibly unhappy and disappointed. PLUS, the food has never been that good, and I have eaten there about five times. I always try something new hoping to find something good, but never have. Not that that matters now, because I will never be eating there again. I have also been spreading the message to my friends, family, coworkers, and schoolmates who are all appalled about what happened to my family and friend and I, NONE of them will EVER eat there again. I will NEVER recommend it to anyone.

Pros: NONE

Cons: food, service, management, ownership

I took four others to lunch during the week day. It took the wait staff twenty minutes to get drinks and all the food wasn't out after an hour and fifteen minutes. We asked to speak the the manager. He told the wait staff to tell us it would be twenty mintues before he could talk to us. We left. Other groups left also. The other time I was there I bought the Sliders and was disappointed with the food. They need a better cookbook. The buns wasn't cooked and the hamburger was cool. Don''t waste your time.

Cons: Bad management, bad service and bad food

I just got back from this place and felt compelled to write a review. We had shrimp cocktail with chicken wraps. The shrimp cocktail was miniature shrimp with a lackluster cocktail sauce with the shrimp guts still in it. This took about 10 minutes to arrive. Our wraps were constructed horribly and felt apart once you tried to eat them, and the chicken was flavorless. Over priced and terrible service. Mad i wasted money.

Pros: Cool area

Cons: food, service, all around yuckiness

After waiting nearly 10 minutes, we had to find our waitress and request service. A few minutes later, she arrived to take our order. After a longer than normal wait for our food, it fianally arrive and the hamburgers were burned and uneatable. They were sent back. In the meantime, we had to take our beverages to the bar ourselves to be refilled. Finally, after a longer wait and subsequently canceling the order, the burgers arrived and were again burned. Apparently, there was only one waitress working the entire restaurant and not once did the manager make a visit to our table to apologize for any inconvenience or attempt to make a bad situation better. We will not go back.

Pros: good selection(beer), all the tvs, waitstaff

I went here a while ago and had some of the worst service AND food ever! The inside was crowded, so my friend and I sat outside. This ended up being a big mistake. Our waitress virtually ignored us the whole night, and when she did come to the table, it was with a scowl on her face. We received our food, which was a bit over priced, and mine was not very good. I ordered chicken and waffles, and got a burnt piece of chicken and what seemed like an Eggo waffle. Maybe this place is better for drinks and appetizers, but for dinner, it's a definite no no.

Pros: outside seating, lots of menu options

Cons: inadequate service, a bit over priced
