Overpriced for what you get. Nothing explicitly bad about it, but the My Cousin Penne only had 5 shrimps and a little bit of crab in the sauce. For $17, that's a little disappointing. The service was VERY slow, which was frustrating. There's much better in this area for that price. read more

Terrific food....not the same run of the mill taste; warm ambiance. Good waitstaff, although Mikaila is the best! She is excellent! Love her!! read more

A real surprise! We were looking for a non-chain restaurant to grab dinner on our way out of town this weekend. We spotted this place as we drove by. After a quick Yelp check and look at the restaurant's online menu while waiting for the stop light to change, we decided to give it a try. From the minute we walked in, it was a positive experience. The vibe was warm, inviting, and comfortable; a bustling bar to the left and a family friendly (but still attractive) restaurant to the right, with a walled-off service area dividing the two. The staff, though generally young (think late teens early twenties) was great...friendly, accommodating, and quick. The beer list was lengthy, to include a slew of microbrew labels. The food was surprisingly good...we ordered Brie-schetta (awesome), the Clint Eastwood (great), and the My Big Fat Greek Burger (solid), as well as beer. While it was definitely family friendly, I'd recommend this place for anyone looking for a good casual local restaurant. read more

Always enjoyable. Had two special entrees and an appetizer special. The appetizer was wonderful, grilled pear slices on bruschetta with goat cheese. Yum! My husband had a chicken breast, fried, with mushrooms and fresh pasta, while I had the curried vegetable entree. Too bad they are not regular items, they were both unique and very nice. read more

Really good food at a value price. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Bar area has plenty of tvs for game day and a very good selection of beers. read more

Mm-mm good. The Clint Eastwood (with cheddar instead of American) did not disappoint!!!

Best fries in Charlottesville---hands down! The vegetarian stoplight enchiladas(made with tofu) are very flavorful and my fave. I had my last meal before delivering my baby here, so it'll forever have a special place in my heart lol read more

First time here. Flew into Charlottesville with a client. Saw the review on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Sat outside and had Ancho Chili wings and Steak Salad. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was wonderful. Only complaint was the flies. Definitely will be back! read more

My husband Chip and I are bar regulars here, we go at least once or twice per week, and we always have an enjoyable experience with the food and the staff. As well, my dad and I visit nearly every Saturday afternoon (again at the bar) for some drinks and a quick bite to split. We love Elaine! And Danni. And Joe. And Russ. Wait we love everyone here! Timberwood and the fabulous employees and management that make you feel like family here are second to one. Oh and the food is legit delicious. Always. Their specials are always creative and we love trying what's new every couple of weeks. The descriptions for the specials are not to be missed either ;) And if you want something done a particular way because you're picky af (i.e., if you're a "Sally" *eyeroll*), these wonderful people will absolutely go out of their way for you to make it what you want. Every. Time. And with a genuine smile to boot! They truly aim to please. This place is our Cheers! Cue the theme song... read more

Love eating here. We've never had a bad meal. I usually get the Ahi Tuna Salad and my husband orders the Steak Frites. Great beer selection too! read more

Very helpful and friendly staff. I will say the staff is very helpful and remember names and faces from years past. Melanie B. called me on my change of eating habits after not seeing me for years. This is a multiple seating area selection of a solid American style restaurant with a large selection of lunch and diner entrees. The patio seating and the bar seating are some of the better North of Charlottesville with plenty of booths and large tv's for the sports and television crowd while the third seating option is far enough separate to be cozy in a comfortable but not in a crapped way. This dining area is great for lunch. read more

Nice outdoor setting , the Hercules sandwich highly recommended by our sever Ashley . It did not fail us and totally perfect for a crisp fall day . Our server totally friendly and welcoming of our dog Evie . This place is is a Winner! read more

Everything here rocks! Beer, food, service. I have no complaints, even as being a former hostess and waitress here! Go Timberwood!

Had one of the best burgers in a long time here. I had the Chuck Norris Burger and it was cooked exactly the way I requested. Beer selection was great, as well as the service. I would definitely come here again. read more

Great menu. Great food. Especially great service. Super quality control! Exceptional beer list on tap & by the bottle. Fantastic sandwiches, salads & burgers. If you want a fancy dinner, those are really innovative. You can tell the chef really knows what to do. The restaurant is managed very well. Overall a place worth visiting often. The quality is consistently high. read more

Solid local restaurant located close to my parents house that I usually always go to eat with them when I come home to visit. I have been to timberwood a half dozen times or so times throughout the years and have never had an issue. A few high points from my visits: + friendly staff and the service they afford, my wife is a vegetarian and they have gone out of their way to change things for her or make recommendations, the one time there a small error with our order once it was brought to our servers attention both the manager and chef came out to apologies and ensure that we would not be paying for said dish. + their growing selection of seasonal and craft beers, not overly extensive but around 18-24 different beers on tap that encompasses multiple styles as well as 100s of bottles. They also present their beer menu in a very unique book that sits on every table. Far from a "yard house" like experience but nothing to complain about! + The nachos, goodness they are tasty! + The diversity of their facility, bar with tons of TVs to watch sports as well as ample seating both bar and booth CHECK, clean family style restaurant segregated from the bar CHECK, great outdoor seating area for seasons other than winter in Charlottesville CHECK, tons of parking without having to deal with traffic CHECK. The menu isn't exceptionally large or diverse but there is something on there for everyone including vegetarians like my wife and I've never had a bad meal. read more

Best restaurant in the area IMO, The cashew chicken salad and the Chuck Norris burger will transport you to your happy place!

Simple and good. Nice selection of draft beers and I had the Allagash White. Ribs, pork, Mac n cheese.... Good, heavy, American food. Very friendly staff. Overall- an easy recommend. read more

Timberwood Grill is my favorite local restaurant w/out driving into Cville. Great variety of beers, a sampler that I love, some okay wines and many of my fav dishes such as steak salad, fish tacos, Asian tuna salad...and many great burgers including a veggie burger that can be fixed as any of the other burger styles. Wonderful outdoor patio where friends and neighbors can enjoy a lingering meal and drinks. Servers are always eager to please! I et there weekly...always pleased. read more

we live up the street from here, and when we want a great restaurant style burger, decent steak or tasty sandwich, it's an easy decision. Good food and good prices too. read more

Burger selection and alcohol selection is fantastic. Fries were very well made and the server was very friendly. Burger was juicy and was cooked perfectly to order. Defiantly will be back soon! read more

Great restaurant! We stated with the general Tso cauliflower appetizer. Never had anything like this before. It was the best. Cocktails were perfect. Patty melt was made perfectly. I had the burrito with tortilla chips and that was very tasty. The restaurant was clean and the staff very nice. Definitely a place to try. read more

Had been before and never had an issue, but last night will be my last. Open discrimination by the bartenders is not a good way to attract business. What's even more concerning is management noticed and didn't intervene or correct the action. Totally unacceptable for a 21st century restaurant. read more

Timberwood Grill is the best restaurant in the Charlottesville area (aside from Bonefish Grill). The sesame ginger tuna salad changed my life. If you visit you have to get it!!! The employees are great and always friendly. The bartender Chris is always helpful. It's always a pleasure to dine at Timberwood Grill. read more

Good beer selection is the only thing this place has to offer, stopped in on the way back to Alexandria and wish I spent the $50 elsewhere. Server was friendly but the hostesses didn't even say hello or crack a smile when you walked in. Food was horrible, spend your money elsewhere. read more

We went back again. And it was even worse. They did 2 things right. Which I will get to. We were part of a birthday celebration with a large party. They did sit us in the back room which was private (first right thing). The Service: One waitress for that many people? The room was reserved and the restaurant knew we were going to be there. There should have been at least two more wait staff to handle that large of a group. I asked one of the supervisors if we could go ahead and order, 20 minutes later the one waitress shows up to take everyone's order. The food arrived 10 minutes before we had to leave. The Food: The menu selection was atrocious. We are vegetarian, the only item to choose from was a veggie burger that my wife could not even eat. My burger was overcooked and extremely dry (even after I covered it in blue cheese dressing). It was like eating a hockey puck. There were no appetizers to choose from and getting extra napkins and initial tableware took forever. The fries were just not good and tasted like they were made from re-constituted potato flakes. The waitress did bring the bill when we were close to being finished. (2nd thing done right) The bill was high for what little we got and the quality. We have decided that if our friends want to have their birthday parties there again, we will eat somewhere else before hand and just order water. read more

I love the Salmon Caesar salad at Timberwood however did call ahead seating yesterday. I was told shouldn't be too long of a wait. Ended up being a 55 min wait along with a family with 2 children under the age of 5. A family of 4 that arrived after us was sat at a booth. Thankfully when they left my sister spoke up to the host and said the large wooden booth would fit our party of 8, which I don't know why they didn't think of that earlier. If you have a party of 4 or more don't go here when its rush hour. Needs better restaurant management. read more

Food selection is ok but on the expensive side so be prepared to spend a little more if you decide to eat here. Always packed however but if you are in a budget this place is not for you. read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. Nice selection of items. My husband had the hercules and I had the Happy Crabmore. Server was attentive and food was served quickly. We would like to have some different steak entrees on the lunch menu, though. read more

surprisingly good! my office has private parties here monthly and they save the middle of the restaurant for us. they have a flat rate menu for parties, which have good entrees. haven't looked at their regular menu yet, but so far all the different foods i've tried haven't disappointed. read more

This is a Virginia's version of Chili's, with a 500 bottle IPA selection. I stopped on my way back from a UVA football game. Good place for families, groups, etc., pretty bland interior. They do have a terrace for outdoor seating but is pretty hokey. Tries to look like a Mexican terraza. I had a blackened chicken salad Caesar and my brother had a steak salad. The food was average. The chicken was perfectly cooked, lettuce was crisp, dressing was "meh"-- no flavor, croutons not crunchy enough; their consistency was like cotton candy. I want some crunch with my Caesar! The bar is well stocked and I got a vodka with a twist which had a generous pour. The portion sizes here are big and the menu had everything from Tex-Mex, to Italian, to burgers. The menu is, IMO, a bit of a hot mess. They are trying to do too many things at once without doing any one thing well. For example, chicken parm next to enchiladas? Cobb salads with black beans next to a Diablo Salad which content wise just looked like an excuse to give you heartburn. Really ham fisted recipes, garlic, hot chiles, and homemade red sauce (read out of a can). They try to be pretentious by handing you a Staples plastic binder full of a list of the 500 beers brands. It is overwhelming and who needs to stock that many beers anyway? How about stocking just a few good local micro brews and cut the rest down to some draft beers and a dozen bottled? Someone should unleash Gordon Ramsey on this place. So misguided and wasteful menu. Gordon would have a field day with is place. Sadly, Chili's is a lot better. read more

Love this restaurant, great food and one of the few restaurants in C'ville to have free wifi

The food and atmosphere is amazing. Loved the baby back ribs before they replaced them. Now I get the Carolina cakes and they are delicious. I eat here weekly and it is always packed with customers so I am sure others feel the same way I do. Give it a try! read more

You won't regret choosing Timberwood for fantastic brunch, lunch, dinner, or drinks. My friends and I always try to expand our horizons and try new places but somehow always end up here. read more

The Timberwood Grill is great! They just hosted us for our trip to Charlottesville for the Cove Creek baseball tournament. There were 21 adults and 17 kids. That is a handfu! I had arranged everything in advance and it was a true pleasure. We used the private dining room and it was absolutely perfect! Everyone in the group loved this place. The food was delicious. Many thanks to Steve, Adam, Lynn and their team for making this a great experience. You HAVE to try the nachos. They are just amazing! We will eat at Timberwood Grill again when we are back in Charlottesville. read more

We went through a phase in my family where we went to Timberwood almost once a week. As my children have gotten older and want to eat more food we've had to cut back because it costs just a little too much to be more than an occasional visit. That said, the beer list is always long and interesting and the food is good. I usually have one of their weekly specials because they are tend to be tasty. read more

This place is a little far out away from town, but my wife and I have been anyways. The beer selection is odd. They give you a binder to look at, that is completely outdated and always seems like we ask for something that they don't have. The dinner options are decent enough, a bit greasy. Service is good, but the late night menu is pathetic. There are about 5 options. My wife is a vegetarian and all that was available were the chips and queso, which the queso was gelatinous and gross. Overall, an average review for an average bar. Extremely corporate feel to it. read more

Great service and great food! My husband enjoyed the Firehouse Steak Tips and I had the Caribbean Salmon. Both were delicious. The bread & honey butter that came with our entrees was so good it could have been our dessert. We also had a very professional waiter. So it was a great experience for us. read more

Love Timberwoods lunch and dinner menu. I read other reviews about the brunch and how fantastic it is. We thought it was "ok" as the menu is quite limited. read more

Mediocre bar-grill food that is exorbitantly overpriced. Good atmosphere and great beer selection. It would be a great place if the prices reflected the quality of the food ($8-$10 range). As it stands, prices run in the $15-$17 range, which is way too much for what you get. Don't get the Carolina Cakes. They sound amazing on the menu, but I feel like I just drank a bottle of vinegar. read more
