Our friends recommended this place on our way to their place in Florida. I am glad they did!…read more This place had made some of the best of lists. And for good reason! This is a really big restaurant. We had our dog so we got it to go and sat outside. There are a couple of tables there. There is a separate to go order area, which is nice. The food was phenomenal! We got brisket, chicken and sausage. And some spicy burnt ends! The chicken was the star. But everything was great. Including the sides. We also got some fresh fried pork rinds to go, they were cracking when they came out! So good! This is a great place to get some BBQ in the area We will be back!

For openers, if you think the best barbecue is usually found in the worst part of town, in a place…read morewith bars on the windows, and just enough grease on the table to write your initials - then this isn't it. This is a barbecue joint (anyplace that serves barbecue is, by definition, a joint) just off the highway in Valdosta, Georgia... and worth all the confusion created when Waze takes you a block too far, and Yelp says they're about to close their doors for the day, which just wasn't the case. The Woodstack BBQ Tavern came into being in 2015 when three guys bought an old liquor warehouse with a monstrous photo of the Budweiser Clydesdale team pulling their famous wagon spanning the front wall. No deal if the building didn't come with the Budweiser mural. Two of thee three, Justin and Randy are running the place now and about to open another in Thomasville. For a guy who has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the perfect barbecue (read my more than 120 barbecue reviews from across the country on Yelp), this is a jewel worth all the confusion finding them and finding them open. Other reviews touch on the friendliness and they're right on... call for info (are you open, Yelp says you're about to close), to when you come thru the door, place your order and pay the tab, it/'s like your back home neighborhood diner. Lisa seems to be keeping things under control out front while folks in the kitchen keep the great 'cue coming. And at good prices. We had the three meat special (with two sides) for $28, but only after some freshly cooked, well seasoned pork rinds ($11 for a healthy serving)... Burnt ends (started by Arthur Bryant in Kansas City more than 50 years ago) were tender, flush with flavor and a great choice. The ribs were good complete with a validating smoke ring, but the best of the threesome we gorged on was the pulled pork. Some of the best the Brown Shoe Gourmet has enjoyed in some time. We skipped their fries (frozen with seasoning) and had their homemade chips (excellent), slaw (slaw that was just that) and fried Brussel sprouts for the one amongst us who doesn't understand that's not a legitimate barbecue joint side dish. She raved about them and made sure there was some left to take home. Go figure. Turns out we missed out on one of Woodstack's best known sides: homemade onion rings. Who knew? Sauces? Yes, three of them: a thin pepper and vinegar, a mustard based sauce and the traditional very slightly spiced tomato sauce - by far the best and worth buying. And while a lot joints now give you half ounce cups of sauce (or make yu stand in line to choose from too many (City Cue are you listening?) Woodstack puts freshly filled bottles on the table. What a novel idea - sample without holding uo a line- letting the customer decide which sauce and how much? A negative? There was one. No colorful tee shirt to add to the collection of more than 200. The dining area is spotlessly clean as are the rest room; the foods is really good and almost all homemade (they use post oak as is the wood of choice throughout Texas) and the hospitality, led by the smiling ball of energy that is Lisa, is outstanding. Five stars to Valdosta's Woodstack. We'll be back next trip south.

I have to give some shout outs to the staff that took great care of myself and others. First off, Miss Jimekia helped us immediately and continued service with a great smile while also delivering kindness. Then there was Miss Hollie asking if anyone needed anything, while asking in the most sincere and polite way possible. Which again, I must say is something you rarely see in establishments these day. Last but not least, Miss Meia. Oh my goodness, she went above and beyond to help all customers while keeping that beautiful smile the whole time. I have been in the Hospitality industry for a very long time and is very hard to keep that smile and be nice but she did. Two thumbs up or five stars all the way around

It definitely did not disappoint. The chicken was so good and very juicy. The fries and mac&cheese were delicious. The staff were super friendly, which may be expected bc of being in the south, but they were super sweet people. I'm not usually a "BBQ" place type of person, but this one exceeded expectations.

They offered us other items on the menu at no extra charge, I had the Big bbq sandwich and he got half chicken along with the Big bbq sandwich he had ordered also originally. Everything was so good, the smoked chicken was amazing, so moist and tender, full of flavor. The waitress then brought us 2 cinnamon buns and a blueberry muffin for the inconvenience. They were so nice to us. Definitely will go again.

It's very family friendly, but a little pricey for the quality. The calamari was dry and overcooked, and the sweet potato fries were just OK. The ribeye cheesesteak however, was surprisingly good. We asked for the calamari to come out with the sandwich, but it arrived much earlier. By the time the sandwich was served the calamari was long gone even though we had explained it intended to be the meal for hubby since he wasn't very hungry. Overall, there were some positives but the food was definitely inconsistent. While it is clearly a popular spot, our experience doesn't make us eager to return. If we're ever passing through again, we're not sure we would give it another try, though it's possible other menu items are much better.
