    Alright this place was 10/10! Great food! Great environment and great customer service. We're in…read moreTraphill for a few days visiting families and were in the mood for burgers and hotdogs. This was the spot! I got a double cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. Just enough pink without being 'undercooked'. It was delicious. I also got a hot dog, a Carolina dog it was called. The coleslaw on top was crispy and delicious! The other ingredients on it were perfectly portioned so nothing overpowered the hotdog at all; everything on it complimented the dog so very well. My wife got a Cuban burrito and absolutely loved it! Our party got some other hotdogs and burgers; all happy campers! Along with the burritos they brought chips; which tasted homemade. They were crispy and fresh. Now this place is know for bringing some heat on their offerings; and we did not order anything hot or spicy like that. Maybe next time! Other than that - this place was a treat. For seven of us the tab was under 100$ - which lately - that is a bargain. (For comparison when we were on the road - we stopped at a WaffleHouse which brought the tab to $104; and their food is hot garbage). So in summary - a 10/10 dining experience which we'll be excited to come back to! I should have taken pictures; but, I think the ones online do a sufficient job. I'll take some photos next trip! Thank you FSBWB! We can't wait to come back!

    Small town charm meets big city cuisine, in a rustic, vintage building. Service was outstanding,…read moreas were the drinks and food. The hardest part was choosing a drink from the aptly named, southern inspired menu. Should I have the Hell in a Handbasket, Mama's Switch, or a That'll do Pig? You can't go wrong. Sized were much larger than expected and priced far below similar type restaurants we have patronized in larger towns. For dinner, I had the filet, medium rare, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. That shouldn't make a restaurant stand out, but based on recent experiences, it was a delight. Dessert was a hot bread pudding accompanied by vanilla ice cream. Superb. Stop by this gem of a place if you are in the area. Lots of cute shops nearby, too.

    Came here with friends on a Saturday day trip to Elkin from Winston-Salem. They were here for the…read moreBBQ and I was here for the hot dog (and kinda the BBQ). When we were arrived we were the only folks there and we had our choice of seating. There isn't tons of seating inside, maybe room for 50 total. We took a seat in the smaller room on the left. The server came quickly to drop off menus and get drink orders. Maybe not completely necessary to mention, but their sweet tea here is good and not overly sweet. The menu is a little more diverse than you'd expect at a BBQ place. Lots of good options. We ordered buffalo chips with ranch to start. They arrived hot and crispy. These were probably my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a hot dog with the special side of the day (buttered corn) and was sharing a 1/4 rack of ribs and mac and cheese with friends. The server had to make sure they had ribs ready. They did. The food for the table came out and my hot dog and corn was dropped off. The ribs were "on their way." A group of 11 came in and the servers started to focus on them. The hot dog was good. A classic NC red dog that had a little crinkle/wrinkle to it which I like to see cause I know they are well-cooked. Toppings were ok. Seemed like they were stingy with the chili (see pic for evidence). The corn was bad - barely warm, watering, and lacked flavor. We had finished our meal and the ribs hadn't come out of the kitchen. We waited and waited. Eventually catching the server's attention. The kitchen hadn't seen the ribs on the ticket. They apologized, took it off the bill, and would get it to us quickly. The rib plate came out. I was going to ask for one of their signature sauces but the plate was dropped and the server headed away quickly. Ribs were great - well smoked and tasty. Definitely would have loved to try their sauces. The mac and cheese was mediocre. barely warm and you guessed it, lacked flavor. Some highs and lows from Wood Box but I'd probably go back and try some of their other items.

    From the excellent food to the setting and the staff, The Woodbox has always been 5-star. But…read moreunfortunately, the restaurant is closed, with a for-sale sign outside. It is a sad thing that this gem is not open for business anymore. The best to the owner (s).

They offer basic down-home cooking with a wide selection of food options. They are generally pretty packed around lunchtime with regular locals who all seem to know each other.

It appears to be a local favorite with the number of locals that seem to frequent the place. In my inquires i found that this is a cafe that has weathered the times. The kind of place you might see as you passed through these small towns in the 60's. It has the old charm with quite friendly people. It is a place of a long gone era that has survived into modern times by being what they do best. A local favorite for people looking for a simple place to eat tasty food.
