    This is the best bbq I've had in a while. Who barbeques oxtail?! I had bbq oxtail, pork ribs, macaroni & cheese, collard greens and yams. Outstanding. Everything. The meat is tender and was sliding right off the bone. Also, the service was great, too. The owner and guys serving were kind to us, talking to us like we're neighbors. They chased us down after we left and gave my friend and I complimentary banana pudding. This is my staple bbq place. Follow them on Instagram to see where they are stationed for the day. I can't wait to have this again!

    Food tent outside of Ale Works, the food smelled good so we decided to give it a try. The food was good, seasoned well BUT immediately after about 1hr or so we were sick to our stomach's. Going from both ends; don't recommend at all.

    Sunday dinner.

    I discovered Bootsy during the pandemic and I've been a fan since. His salmon, brisket and mac are my favorites but everything on the menu is top tier! His energy and passion for the community make supporting him an easy decision. I've sent so many friends and clients his way. Go get Hit with the Smoke!!!

    Healthy portions yummy

    This is the best bbq I've had in a long time; very healthy portions. The smoked salmon is seasoned to perfection; it's my favorite. All the sides are fresh prepared just right and really good. The bbq is tender and smoked just right. The customer service is A1 and the owner is a stand up gentleman. Great vibes all the way around

    Salmon, Brisket, Greens, and Sticky Substance IPA.

    Picked up some Bootsys at LA Ale Works today and it was Got the Salmon, Brisket, and Greens. Salmon was amazing. Brisket was amazing. Greens were amazing. Highly recommended. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

    Brisket, Mac & cheese and baked beans L

    If you're looking for good BBQ, this is a spot worth checking out. Not only is the food good, but the service was great. Everyone was friendly and efficient. I just picked up my food to go, but the vibe inside is cool. It's a cute casual place where you can dine in or take it to go. All in all, it's a vibe! The shining stars were the brisket and the Mac & Cheese

    Salmon, sweet potatoes, and greens

    First time at this particular Woodys. I'd say the only reason I haven't been year's sooner is…read morebecause I tend to hear mixed reviews. Usually something like, "It used to be good". Yet there's multiple locations so I'm never sure which one there talking about. First and foremost the BBQ here was fantastic! And I just loved the names of the Lunch Special options. Like "Inflation Fighter" and "Business Man Lunch". Since I was there on the weekend and near closing, unfortunately these options weren't available. So I got the Combo Dinner which comes with up to 3 choices of meat, 2 sides, and a slice of white bread. And for the overall price and amount of meat on the plate, I'd say it was well worth it. I'm a big tall guy who (regretfully) tends to eat a lot in one sitting. Something I'm workin' on doing less of. Yet surprisingly about halfway through everything, I was GOOD. This was definitely a plus to have been given enough to have for a solid dinner later in the day. For the most part I'd say this is a to-go location. But there is about two or three small tables with seating available outside. And they we're completely okay with me eating there even though they we're near closing. Interior is quite nice as well. Very small but had a cabin feel that felt like a modern barbecue shack. Also the two women working the front, taking orders and cashiering we're both friendly and welcoming. So next time I hear something like "It used to be good", I can now confidently say, "And it still is".

    I stopped in for a rib tip sandwich and received several pieces of tough chewy meat. I had a side…read moreof potatoe salad that was plain with no flavor, it actually tasted pre-made and store bought.

Like many restaurants, they have had their ups and downs, but they are hanging on. We have bought the Family Special which is no longer a Sunday option, but on other days. For just under $50, we had a whole Baked Chicken, 3 sides and corn muffins. The Chicken is always well seasoned and cooked well. Our favorite sides are the Collard Greens, Yams and Black Eyed Peas. We had some friends and family over, so we purchased 2 Family Specials and some extra Corn Muffins. That was plenty for 7 adults and 2 children with a little leftovers. Although, we have had some negative experiences here previously, we still dine there by take-out mostly. The owner does listen to and reads reviews. That doesn't happen every.

I ordered 2 dinners short ribs the Sunday special & a vegetable plate at 12:21 my number was 908 they started to call numbers that were higher than minds so I went back over to ask the window where orders are taken the young lady said they forgot to put my ticket in, I asked since they forgot could I get piece of chicken for the inconvenience she asked the manager who had went to help the kitchen and she said no. At 1:21 1 hr later I got my food, and to my disappointment when I got home the food was not good the yams i don't even have words for, the greens no seasoning and a lil under cooked, the succotash the okra not cooked well again no seasoning and a lot of end pieces, the black eyed peas no seasoning very bland, the cornbread was very thick. So sad the state this restaurant is in, they need to revamp too much going on door dash orders, online orders, dine in and orders at the window. So with that said this will be my last time going back to this restaurant.
