It's a sports bar, so we didn't expect anything amazing, but it just wasn't that good...sorry to say. Service seemed half-hearted, the place didn't feel clean, and the food was mediocre. The chicken in my Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla was very dry. The meat on our Cheesesteak Fries was kind of bland. My husband didn't seem to mind his Calzone and the beverages were fine. No plans to go back, but hopefully it gets better for others who wish to stop in. read more

See all

We were staying at Bear Creek Resort and everything closes there by 10pm even on a weekend. We took a chance on Big Woody's not knowing how it would turn out based on the reviews. The food was excellent, for a Bar & Grill. They had a decent selection of beers on tap. The bartender, unfortunately, didn't "know beer". She didn't know the names, let alone what type they were. She was very soft spoken and I'm not entirely sure what she said, actually. She was VERY friendly and did offer samples. She did not end up pouring the one I selected. Luckily, my husband enjoyed it. I was more hungry than thirsty, so it ended up fine. Not much around that area, so if you're hungry, give them a try. read more

Great food and drink menu. Ambience is real chill and come Eagles and Phillies season, it gets crowded in bar area especially during playoffs :) read more

Didn't have water??? I could go on, but do I really have to? Definitely "little woody" energy read more

Will somebody please post a "Closed due to no customers" sign on this place. It's over, done, cooked, burnt, no mas! It's a bad location and it has the "Pickles curse" which can't be undone until the bulldozers are done. I've been in this place a few times. It's still pickles with a really bad paint job. Bad food, bad drinks and bad service. Dear Woody, it's over brother! Sell this dumpster fire. read more

Bar service is tremendous. Very friendly and attentive. Beer towers are only $15!! the pizza is good, and the specialty pizza cant be beat on a Tuesday night. I think I paid $8 for a taco pizza that was excellent. For cheap eats, and cold beer, this place is a one stop shop. I cannot say enough about how great the staff is keeping me and all my friends who hang out there on Tuesdays wanting to keep coming back. They will even make a specialty pizza if you can create it. They go above and beyond here, and I like that. It's nice to be treated like a valued customer. read more

I stopped in the Big Woody's in Allentown looking for some friends but when they were not there, I left. The food looked great, so when I passed another Big Woodys on my way home, I pulled in. Never again! Bad service. I ate 7 of the 10 wings, which I ordered 'well done' and were still red in places! When I pointed it out, they gave me 1/2 off my already 1/2 price wings! Oh yeah, the beer I wanted was flat and warm. The manager was a real piece of work too! This place is a perfect candidate for an episode of Undercover Boss. read more

I really wanted to like this sports bar, but nope. We stopped for a "quick" bite b/c our Son was performing w/ a marching band across the way. Unfortunately, it appeared as though BW was short staffed. Our waitress was very busy, food took forever to be served and my order came out 1/2 hour before my husband's food. Different staff members came over to apologize to us. We did receive 10% off of our bill and was not charged for 1 LG beer/wine. Food portions were small and not worth the wait. We did however leave our waitress a nice tip. It's not her fault. read more

Awful service. Took over 1 hour to get a burger and fries. Then took even longer to get a check. Will not return as burger was underdone and to wait for it again would have been another hour. read more

I'm a 4 time combat veteran (28 1/2 years) in a suit. Sat at the bar, where 2 bartenders were working. One guy with a colorful bandana around his head,, the other with long braids. I sat there for 13 minutes before I was even acknowledged. 5 white people walked up and the bartender with the bandana serviced everyone of them without saying one word to me. The other one a female at the 13 minute mark, says I be with you in a minute. 11 additional minutes goes pass. I observe her laugh and joke with waitresses before I just left. First time in here, and the last. Simplely horrible! read more

6 people total at a Sports Bar on NFL playoff Sunday in a facility that seats over 100 tells the whole story. They hire incompetent people because nobody wants to works in a place that can't attract customers. I go to watch a game on occasion because its close to home. The food is lousy. Scrawniest wings in Lehigh Valley. Terrible customer service. The so called "manager" (probably her second week there) was incompetent. Probably a high school dropout. read more

My family and I were in town and were planning on trying this sports bar out for dinner. We walked in, there was an employee standing near the bar who saw us and held her hands up in the air and said f**k. We felt very unwanted when we read her lips. We turned right around and went out. You would think they would have been happy to have business since there was no other customers in the restaurant. Definitely will never go back there and do not recommend. read more

So sad that This location of Big Woody's has gotten bad reviews... I've gone there several times - service was only okay - but the food has always been good! The Hamilton St location absolutely sucks... but not reviewing them right now! Ordered delivery for the first time from them tonight... food showed up in 45 minutes (on a Friday- that's amazing) and it looked like the perfect pizza and perfect Stromboli that I always picture! Both were amazing! Thanks gang! You're gonna be delivering to my house many more times. read more

Pretty much always go at night after work, the place is always pretty slow but the service is good and food is yummy

Best pizza around with mouth watering extra sauce & cheese!! Yum!! The price is right & specials perfect!! Locations throughout Lehigh Valley & beyond!! Try 2 Large one topping special today!! read more

If I could do negative stars, I would. This place is gross. From an employee standpoint and a customer. I'm not sure how they have stayed in business this long. With their "construction" going on that's supposed to be done by football season, I don't see that happening. They treat their employees like trash and expect them to do 5 different peoples jobs for no pay. They overwork everyone like crazy to the point people quit on the spot, and then wonder why they have 4 employees in the whole building. Absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing from a "business aspect". The owner and manager both have no respect for anyone and can't even do their jobs. They literally had a woman with a baby strapped on her, bartending. Like is that legal? Honestly the place needs to be shut down and the building needs to be bulldozed keep that bad juju away from the next owners read more

So we ordered wings and salads from the Woody's in Emmaus. When we got the delivery they informed us that they don't have wings but did bring the salads. They said they tried to call "a lie since if they did we would have canceled the order". When I called to speak to a "manager" I was given the ru around. So I went down and was met by very angry employees who threatened myself bodily harm. I am trying to file a complaint with the head people but I don't think they care. This is the worse place to eat. Every time we get food there are problems and my fault for trying to give them my money. That will NEVER happen again. Horrible service and the food isn't mush better! read more

Ordered some boneless wings. Looks like they put them in the dryer for two seconds and gave them to me. Absolutely foul that they can serve raw chicken like this. Please be careful when going to this place. I DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Big Woody's Bar & Grill - Raw chicken - Sports Bars Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

Just had a family gathering today after my Mothers funeral at Big Woody's Forks location. 30 people. They did an awesome job. Small buffet and the food was great. Scott and our server, I believe her name was Jackie were very attentive and friendly. It was a pleasure. read more

When we first arrived no one told the bar tender we were in the dining area. After we spoke with the bar tender she was very pleasant and apologized. For the miscommunication they gave us 10% off our bill without asking. The food was amazing, I can't rave enough about how good their food was. We tried the loaded fries (to die for), Stromboli (perfect), and Quesadilla (yummy). I would recommend this place to others. read more

Friendly and personable staff. We really intended to have a beer and a snack but the ladies made us comfortable so we hung out longer. Nice beer selection, fun choice of music - we will be back read more

Like the Walmart of sports bars. I've placed orders that they didn't know came through until I arrived, and also received food that had ingredients that I didn't order. read more

Ordered pizza with sausage/onions. Crusty edge of pizza takes up 2.5 inches into the slice. Pizza had no flavor at all! Bland sauce, Sausage, and onions...Cajun seasoned wings same story, cooked well but no flavor. Buffalo garlic wings had minimal flavor and were soggy. So disappointed. There are much better places in the area to order from. read more

Zero stars. This place is gross. It's hot inside on a very hot summer day and all of the beer is foaming out and tastes flat and disgusting. We were charged for a beer that we gave back after sipping it. The food order was wrong and the food quality was garbage. They should just shut this one down. I can't imagine why anyone would willingly go there. read more

Went there a week ago. The service sucked. Bfs sandwich was dissapointing, my wings had a good flavor but they were the tiniest wings I've ever had. I should have looked at the reviews before I went. We felt completely ripped off. read more

Big Woody's Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

It was a warm Monday evening. The wife looked at me and said with a dreamy look in her eyes, "I want wings this weekend." Taken slightly aback, I said, "Wings? From where?" She just smiled and replied: "Big Woody's." Ah, Big Woody's. That sports bar on 4th St. Wait, no, the Emmaus location! The new one! We settled it. Ok, wings it would be for date night. We ordered online (super cool - no human interaction for us) and went to pick it up. The place seemed clean, the staff seemed friendly, and the bag of wings smelled like Heaven itself farted in the car. We live maybe 10 minutes away from this joint but that car ride took 9 hours to complete, due to the mana-like stench, you see. Long story short, I would have eaten the tinfoil my chipotle BBQ wings were wrapped in. The wife loved her mild wings, and said that her blue cheese dressing was 'so f-----g chunky, it's the tits'. We will definitely be back. But don't order the chipotle BBQ wings. Or sesame ginger. They're both sweet, warm, smoky, mouthwateringly savory.. You wouldn't like them. Instead, I'll take them off your hands for free. Because I am a good person like that. (Oh, and if you don't even want to leave your humble abode for fantastic food, they'll deliver. They'll even deliver a 6-pack of beer to you, if you're 21+ and into that sort of thing.) read more

Big woodys always comes through for me. Cali cheese steak is my favorite. Wings are good too. Deliver till 1 am and deliver beer, the manager in Emmaus location is on point. If you're leaving a bad review, I understand the service isn't up to critics par. But I stand by big woodys. read more

The server was 5 stars..... The best part of my buffalo chicken cheesesteak was the roll. That's unfortunate. The sandwich was made without ingredients listed in the menu description. Expectations were a bit high because I have enjoyed the other locations. read more

Terrible. The service was good, we got a underage waitress. I asked for suggestions and she didn't know, she was underage I understood. The food took so long to come out and the food came out cold. I went in to use the bathroom and no one wore a mask, I asked before going in if I needed a mask and they said it didn't matter, PA requires a mask unless your sitting down. This restaurant doesn't follow the guidelines that are required by law. read more

We ordered take-out tonight from Big Woody's EMMAUS location. The order took 1 hour to arrive and the food was cold when it arrived, plus the driver forgot 2 of our entrees and had to come back. Woodys really needs to invest in better staff to provide a higher quality of service. For $90 I would expect much better experience. We have given the restaurant many chances over the past few years and there always seems to be an issue, every time! read more

Staff was nice enough and attentive, but I gotta give this place 1 star because within hours of eating here my husband and I were violently ill. I have eaten at other Woody's locations so I trusted the name, but the kitchen here needs to be checked out. read more

Had a great time last night with the family. We rolled in late and everyone was accommodating. From the bartender to the cook and especially the manager, Ali; they made us feel welcomed even at the late hour we came in. The food was great. We had boneless wings and mozzarella sticks. Their prices were great! We will definitely be back soon. read more

Very disappointed that they fired my favorite manager. The lack of music sucks. I stopped going there for months until they got rid of Jose. Well perhaps I have to leave again. God bless you Parand and I will miss you. read more
