Cool place, great thai food and they also have more "american" cuisine for those that don't like thai. I love the Pad thai and the drunken noodles are good as well. read more

I go often to this place. Menu is really long and portions are huge. Its a Thai'ish restaurant. The taste of dishes is good. I love this place and the owner lady. she is very friendly. It has a different decor (lumber saws hanging from the roof - safely of course). read more

We used to love this place but it seems to be going downhill. Every time that we go there is only one wait person, that is ridiculous. She works hard but it isn't right. Also the food has been getting hotter and hotter. I know several people who stopped going because it is too hot to enjoy. read more

This restaurant has just shot to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in the Corvallis area. The crispy basil chicken was outstanding...great flavor and texture, with lovely crisp green beans. The owner is delightful. She stopped by our table to ask how our meal was. When we informed her that it was our first time there, she brought out a large sampling dessert plate of her homemade coconut ice cream and purple rice pudding. Both were delicious, but the coconut ice cream (with chunks of coconut) was divine. The menu was very extensive, and had both American and Thai items. I was particularly impressed at the selection of local Philomath area wine on the wine list; very reasonable by-the-glass prices. Portion sizes were large, prices were reasonable, and the spiciness level matched what the menu had indicated. Service was good and also quick. We will definitely be back! read more

I'm not sure what you could want more in a great Thai restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was fine. Pad Thai is always the test dish. It was fresh and had that perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory. The veggies were crisp so you also had a nice balance of textures. We also got the yellow curry with beef. Really well done as well. The curry had a heat that sneaked up on you and was just sweet enough, but not too sweet, as so many currys can be. We had so much Pad Thai that the curry is today's lunch! you. The potstickers for our appetizer were equally great. Freshly made and they stradled that fine line between chewy and tender. Yum! Whenever I come back to Corvallis to visit my daughter this will be at the top of my list. read more

One of the best kept secrets in Philomath. Great food, interesting decor. Good beers on tap, all in all a good place to visit. A few of our favs: Basil Chicken is great, spicy and hot...love it! Drunken noodle, I'd never had this before and was not dissapointed, spicy and delicious. Sri-ra-cha, sweet and spicy and oh, so good. If you're a desert kind of person, or even if you're not, you've got to try their homemade coconut ice cream, sometimes they serve it with mangoes, but by itself it's a special treat. And, for those at your table who are less adventuresome, there's a good old fashioned American menu, with burgers, salads and chicken strips. Try it, you won't be sorry! read more

Do not let appearances fool you. This place is Thai yumminess bliss--a mouth-gasm. You would never expect such amazing flavors and Thai food from this place. A hidden gem that should be experienced daily. Oh my heavens! If you're a Thai food snob, this place will set your standard even higher. Yum, yum, yum. read more

This is probably the best Thai place in the Corvallis/Philomath area. They have a large variety of Thai dishes and I particularly enjoy their salad rows, chicken satay with peanut sauce and Thai soups. The only area that could use some improvement is the number of staff during busy hours, be ready for a long waiting time. Having said that, servers were always friendly and polite. read more

The mango/fried banana and house coconut ice cream platter is ridiculously awesome. Everyone that lives in, or visits Benton County must try it! read more

This place is an old logger bar with chainsaws on the wall and other strange stuff. You can order Thai or American style food both of which are good. This place happens to have the best red curry I have every had. The owners are really friendly. Sometimes the waitresses get too busy. read more

Nice service! And food taste great, however with a very large portion. Still love it!!

This was definitely not what I expected. A Thai restaurant in what seems to be an old logging tavern along the highway. The name of the restaurant in no way reflects the cuisine, but we we pleasantly surprised. Nice waitress and good food -- huge portions compared to the Thai places in Portland/Gresham. Flavors were like what your grandmother would cook -- recipes passed down to the next generation. Left full and happy with plenty of leftovers for another meal. read more

Great little hole in the wall gem, portions are huge so just share one. Their pad Thai and chai ice tea are great. Local family owns the place and they are great too! read more

The Thai food is great bere, everything and you can choose how spicy and it does get hot!

Amazingly flavorful food. Short drive from corvallis, and totally worth it. Philomath's restaurant gem.

Disappointed in tonight's meal.. normally the Thai food in particular is excellent, but not tonight. The yellow curry was watery, and the mixed seafood (that I paid extra for) was pretty much non existent. Took forever too .. they won't earn much business if this is what customers will experience. Too bad. read more

Yum yummy and yummier. The owners are from Thailand so it is as "authentic" as a Philomath based Thai restaurant can get and absolutely delicious. If you are within 60 minutes driving time, make the trip, it is worth it. P.S. Have the mangoes and sticky rice for dessert. read more

I had a bad experience on a take out order where the service was horrid. I paid the bill with cash and the guy put my money in the tip jar and made change out of the tip jar. Doesn't seem like that was on the up an up. The food was good, but a "I'll be right with you," would go along way to improving the service. I think there's better service for dine in, at least on this particular night. I am a fan of the food, so I'll be back. read more

I feel like Yelp led us astray on this one. A four star rating? Some of the best Thai food you've ever had? We did enjoy the salad rolls, but that's it. My Pad See Ew was drowning in what tasted like a sweet bottled stir fry sauce. The fried tofu, normally one of my favorite parts, tasted like a grease sponge. Vegetables were overpowered and the noodles were over cooked to the point that they were mostly small bits. My husband's drunken noodles were not at all spicy and, again, were drowning in a sticky sweet sauce with a really awful aftertaste. I tried one bite of his and apologized to him that he had something so bad. We both ate about five bites of the massive portion of food. When asked about a container we said yes to be polite, but the food went straight into the compost once we got home. The next stop was the bathroom. We had thought we ordered the lunch special version of these meals, but when presented with the bill saw that we were charged the full dinner prices. After tip (the waitress was very friendly), we paid nearly $35 for the worst meal I've ever been served in a restaurant. read more

I've had the chicken curry here. It's delicious and comes in huge servings so it lasts for days. Definitely recommend it. Would come here more often if it were easier to get to. Only weird thing is the decorations. They have a bunch of saws on the walls. read more

Worst service I've experienced in my life. Waitstaff was incredibly rude and there are definitely better Thai places out there. Overall, the experience and the attitude of the waitstaff just rubbed us the wrong way. We won't be going back. read more

This place has some of the worst Thai food, especially for the prices that they charge, that I have ever tried. Every dish that I have tried there (we came in with a big party and shared some plates) was off-key. I would not go back for the food or the atmosphere to begin with, but definitely not going back after one teenager in our party started diarrhea and vomiting about an hour after lunch at The Woodsman. read more

Had my first beer in Philomath here. Love this old biker bar turned random secret Thai food place along HWY 20 to the coast. We always stop and get dinner here when the opportunity arises. Very comfortable, laid back, great food and large portions. Not to mention the atmospheric is great for our kids (7 and 3) or the sudden 3 family road trip stop for dinner. read more

Wouldn't think it from the outside, or even the inside... fantastic, fresh thai food. Even the kids loved it. Great lunch specials, with tons of food. Outside lunch time, it's a bit pricey, but still worth it. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended to me so my wife and I biked 6 miles from Corvallis to try it out for a fun date. We had high hopes but sadly it fell short of our expectations. The service was fine but the food tasted unlike any other Thai food we'd had before. The pot stickers weren't too bad. The pad Thai dishes were HUGE, which might not be a bad thing but if we had known that the lunch size would feed 3 people we wouldn't have ordered two plates. The sauce they used didn't taste like pad Thai should, it was more of a bbq flavor or something odd...all in all we spent $26 during the lunch hour for way more food than we could eat (again, great news if it's delicious!) and we ended up having to toss it because neither of us were into it. We wish we could give a better review! read more

The service was friendly, the food was good, and the portions were huge with fair pricing. The reason for two stars is that both me and my dinner-mate got sick from this unfortunately. read more

I would NOT recommend this place. I remember going when I was younger and had a great dining and food experience. I went back recently and everything had changed. My party and one other family were the only people in the restaurant at 12 on a Sunday afternoon. They ran out of iced tea and were out of many appetizers. I know they serve Thai food, but they also serve burgers, sandwiches, and some other American appetizers. I ordered a chicken tender sandwich with cheese and no tomatoes. It came with no cheese and tomato. My chicken strips were burnt and had no flavor. The service was terrible, the ambience was cold and dark, and the food was awful. I will not return. read more

We used to love it here and would come at least once every other week! So far we have retried to give them the benefit of the doubt maybe a new cook or so? NO 3 horrible food and service every time! And when we left our dishes full and untouched any commonsense employee would see 3 untouched dinners as something wrong. read more

Tons of vegetarian options! The portions are huge, worth a couple meals for me. The staff is always nice and knowledgeable of their menu. I forget about this place because it's kind of off the beaten path. Major plus is its dog friendly! read more

Secret delight for Thai food. We just had red curry with pork and spicy string beans with basil. Outside looks like a funky old hangout but don't let the cover deceive you. The sandwich and burger look good too. I heard they deep fry their bacon!!! But I can't get past ordering the Thai! read more

-Not enough people working on a Saturday during dinner, server was nice. -VERY dirty floors walls etc. Are you a dive bar or a restaurant. Pick. -Really salty pad Thai. Where's the chicken? -kids meals were decent - Gave two stars, wife liked lemon grass dish. read more

They have good thai, and good pub food. Want too impressed the one time i ordered a steak. Their prices are made up for with their generous meal portions. They have an extensive menu with many options. read more

I tried the Woodsman the other night. I don't care for the decor and old saloon look. The waitress was nice, and the locals were a bunch of hams. I had of course the fish and chips. The fish seemed fresh, but the fries were underwhelming. The price of the meal was on target. The location is not great, but I wish them the best. read more

This is a shocker! While most small towns in America have their favorite greasy spoon, Philomath's Woodsman Tavern is a surprise with a twist. The lumberman ambiance will fool you, because the owner and chef are expert Thai cooks. Besides having the usual USA stuff, their huge Thai choices are not only fabulous, they are varied. While I am not the best critic for Asian cuisine, friends who have gone their on my recommendation have all raved about this wonderful little eastern bistro. read more

If you love Thai food then this place is for you and have a wonderful dessert with fried bananas, carmel, sticky rice and homemade coconut ice cream. read more

The cure for a hangover, search no more! I recommend the drunken noodles. Staff is attentive, and plus, it looks like a biker bar. Everything is good! read more

Since my initial review we've been to the Woodsman several times and it just keeps getting better and better. Each time we've had the same waitress, her name is Megan but spelled more uniquely (I just can't remember). She's really the only person working both rooms and I don't know how she manages it sometimes. Sometimes it is a tiny bit of a wait but this girl clearly works her butt off as the only server/bartender/hostess there, and she does a great job. We just recently had the papaya salad and it was SO good!! The yellow curry, green curry, dumplings, jack fruit curry, spicy basil, all so good! This place has become my favorite in Corvallis/Philomath & I highly recommend! read more

When the Woodsman first started serving Thai food many years ago, it was good: crisp, fresh vegetables, balanced authentic sauces and an astonishing menu. Now, it seems like no care goes into preparing anything. Overcooked -- precooked -- vegetables, including huge chunks of potato (huh?) and what seem like canned sauces dumped on everything. The portions are ridiculously large and the service is slow because there are usually only one or two waitpersons. I ordered the spinach palam and it consisted of the equivalent of a bag of large uncooked spinach leaves drowning in peanut sauce. With only toothpick-like chopsticks and a fork, eating this was a challenge. Take it from whence it comes when reviewers say the Woodsman's food is the "best Thai food in the Corvallis-Philomath area." The "Corvallis-Philomath area" is hardly a culinary paradise. read more

You'd never expect great Asian food in this former dive just outside Philomath, but that's exactly what you'll get. Don't let the lumberjack decor fool you. There is some good Thai here. The Thai BBQ chicken is my favorite. No disappointment with standard Pad Thai or curries. I've always had very friendly, prompt service. Not just worth a "stop" it's worth a trip! AND it's open nearly every day of the year! read more

So this is not the best thai food I've ever eaten, but it's definitely the best that corvallis/philomath has to offer. well spiced and pretty delicious. The portions are absolutely huge (one entrree is more than enough for two people), and the atmosphere is really great. read more
