At least you can sit down at Woody's in Dublin rather than waiting in line standing on concrete. Food is not spectacular. JMO

Way over rated and to expensive. I only go when my company takes us and I don`t get to choose where we go and I do not pay. I do not like the seating either.

I agree with the others when they say it isnt as good as it used to be. But i highly recommend the chicken poppers, or the shrimp poppers. Just good ol bacon wrapped jalapeno and onion and chicken. Ask for some of the melted butter dipping sauce. Everything else there is pretty hit and miss.

No bark-no real time on smoker-if I had to guess, they probably smoke it 20 or 30 minutes, wrap in foil, and cook it all the way till done. There's no way they can have the meat exposed to green firewood even for 4 hours and not have more of a smoke flavor. I think the burning pit is more for show.

I agree with the hit and miss comments. Really expensive and tastes like they use mesquite wood instead of oak. I did have a real good rib there back during deer season.

Pretty bland tasting Q IMO. They haven't ever heard of seasoning, I guess. Not even salted, just bland. Go east on US 67 past Chalk mountain, turn left (north) on CR 1004 to "Loco Coyote" BBQ...You're welcome.

Overall I like it. I really don't consider the brisket a "real smoked brisket", but more like a roast. The ribs are hit and miss, but the sausage is good along with the poppers. The pork chop is good when they are just getting done. The sides are decent and the cobbler is pretty good. Nothing really stands out as excellent, but it is better than a lot of BBQ joints I have been to. All the meat needs to have more seasoning and smoke IMO. I travel to San Antonio 2-3 per month and usually stop in there for Lunch, it beats the crap out of the fast food places.

I got sick off of one of their grilled pork chops a few years back. I havnt been able to eat one since.
I agree with the others. Pretty bland. Sides are good as well as the nanner puddin.
