Woodys Bar-B-Q

We keep trying barbecue hoping that as Northerners we would find our Southern palate. Well we almost found it here. The staff is quick and friendly. The drinks come out very quickly. The food was good. I just think the pulled pork and the Woody are just a big mess and not in a good way. The brisket was good and the salads are just okay. Maybe it’s just us.

Positives — got seated right away and the food came out very fast (almost suspiciously fast). Pork sausage was pretty good.
Negatives– prime rib was terrible. Pulled pork tasted like lighter fluid. Mashed potatoes tasted fake. Waitress never came around to Refill water glasses.

Love coming here,
Food is always great, hot and just as it was the last time you visited.
They also have some of the friendliest staff, Allison and Linda are the best!

By far the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. The pulled pork, sausage, and ribs were nearly inedible. The sausage was incredibly salty, while the pulled pork and ribs has no flavor to speak of. They were pale in color, almost like chicken, instead of the reddish color that quality pork should be. The mashed potatoes were fake, or at least tasted it. Fortunately I was starving and able to dump enough BBQ sauce on the meal to choke down a couple bites.
I’ll end on a positive note, the beans were fine and the waitress was nice. But you literally couldn’t pay me to eat more of that.

We had a party of 14 for dinner and the service was excellent! Enjoyed my smoked turkey which isn’t available everywhere. Can’t say enough about the food! One problem: Unilocal directions will take you on a wild goose chase. Woody’s is on US 1 north of CR 512 not 3.8 miles south.

I always have to eat here when I come to visit. I always have to get the corn fritters. I tried the jumbo hot dog, that thing is huge! I wasn’t expecting it to be so big. The Mac and cheese is really good too. I tried their Cole slaw and corn bread this time and it was the best!

I’ve been here twice for take out and won’t be back. In the two meals, we’ve tried every protein they offer and still don’t understand how one can screw up a chicken so horribly? Dry, tasteless and not fresh. The Spare Ribs are below average and quite tough, baby backs were okay but nothing to write Mama about. I prefer my brisket thinly sliced but that’s just me, overall the flavor was again, okay. On the upside, they serve HUGE portions of pie which are pretty darn good, just don’t eat the Hostess Pie-​like crust. If I do go back it will be for a slice of pie, at least the filling anyway.

Food was ok service a little below average. Not on my return list. Ordered the all you can eat chicken and plate was taken after first serving and not asked if I wanted more. No silverware served with meal. The place is a strip mall bbq place with no atmosphere.

Coming from KC where BBQ is king, I had mixed emotions about eating at Woody’s. But even in KC there are a lot of bad, in my opinion BBQ joints, so what the heck.
Briefly–
Location — Hwy 1 in Sebastian (Woody’s website shows 23 locations in FL alone)
Cleanliness — no problem
Service — excellent
Baby back ribs and sides — see photo
Now the long version. We arrived at Woody’s on Sunday, 1 Feb 2015 at around 5:35pm. There were three people picking up orders at the take-​away window on the outside. And a lot of diners already seated. A good start. We looked around the entrance way and our table, but found no issues with cleanliness.
We were seated quickly and before 30 seconds had elapsed, our server was asking for our drink orders. They arrived within the next 2 minutes. And when they were delivered, we were ask if we were ready to order our meal.
We split a slab of baby back ribs, and had 2 sides, coleslaw and baked beans. The menu describes the ribs as fallin’ off the bone tender. Now falling off the bone isn’t up to par per the KCBS judging standards, and is marked down compared to meat that requires a little tug to get the meat to come off the bone. But the menu described the meat condition completely. It didn’t take much to remove the tender meat off the bones and it was very tasty. The accompanying sauce was just right for my pallet. The sides were a nice accompaniment to the ribs. The slaw was cut fine and had a nice dressing. The baked beans were swimming with fine pieces of meat and were just right. I’ve had better, but this was tasty.
My conclusion is that if there was a problem in this Woody’s location, the manager took to heart the negative comments and reversed the pattern, as I recommend this joint and would return.

Pretty decent food not off the chain or anything. We we’re craving BBQ for a while and were on the island we drove 45 minutes to eat there. The smell was great. Service was ok nothing spectacular at step above Sonny, s.

I actually eat here every now and then. It is great for large groups. Today we happened to be down for my daughter’s birthday with grandma. I love the ribs here and the chicken too. On Sunday they just so happened to have all-​you-​can eat BBQ chicken. I have also had the pulled pork sandwich and enjoyed it as well. The service is friendly, but some orders have been jumbled especially in large groups so be careful.
Overall, if you are looking for ribs to stick to yours, this is a good place to go for inexpensive grinds. Stop in and down a rack of baby-​backs or Memphis style ribs.

What isn’t there to like about the best baby backs ever! Smoked to perfection with the perfect sauce. However… their pulled pork and brisket let them down. I will only eat baby backs at Woody’s going forward (and desert). I also enjoy their sides, BBQ beans are great,
I love the friendly staff and nice atmosphere. I always enjoy the 2 for 1 beers! I will always make every effort to return to this Woody’s when Im in the area.

We adore the baby backs! Yummy. Back area is more of a sports bar, so we prefer up front. Wish they had wifi! Excellent food and nice staff. Get there around 5 and you don’t have to wait too long. Well worth it!
