I live about 45 miles away and was traveling through when we stopped and had some BBQ... THE RIBS ARE AMAZING!!!! WHAT A VALUE! You can bet I'll be back! Two meat dinner for 13.99.... A BARGAIN!!! You can bet I'll be back!!! read more

Come hungry! I was in town for a seminar at the college and had a short window of time for lunch. This was recommended and it was close, so why not. The service was prompt and the portions are huge. I hade the pulled pork with ham and cheese with a side order of fries. The fries were nicely seasoned and the sandwich needed a knife and fork to eat. It is an annual event for me to attend, so I will most certainly be back next year. read more

Honestly great food. My wife and I tried almost everything as we were on vacation and try and stop at local places. The ribs were by far the best thing if you like dry rub, good (not overwhelming smoke) and great meat quality. The sauces were not watered down and runny but a great consistency and a solid offering from your typical sweet, medium, hickory, and hot. The golden one was not any type of mustard style I've tried. We also really enjoyed the pit ham and hot links. The other meats were decent. The only meat we didn't care for was the turkey, it definitely tasted like a pre-pumped turkey with a slightly metallic / saline taste you get with pumped products. Overall great BBQ meats. The sides were a little more hit and miss. The okra is definitely something worth stopping for. It was fresh, hand battered and sprinkled with their house rub seasoning and utterly fantastic. We also really enjoyed their potato salad, if it was Sysco special you had us duped! The Mac and cheese like most joints was from a boil bag and the coleslaw though EXTREMELY fresh left a little to be desired as it hadn't marinated enough to really pack some flavor in. The staff was friendly but the young girl working the counter wasn't quite sure of the meats and how they were prepared. We were looking for bone in turkey or chicken and she didn't know. Over all really nice and the food was prepared in the open kitchen and quickly brought out! The place could use some TLC and a little degreaser as the floor was a little slick and tacky. Trash was picked up but a little after hours scrubbing and I think it would really stand out. This is a Coke products restaurant so Pepsi people don't bother stopping LOL. Our next time thru McPherson we will be stopping. read more

Great ribs. Fair prices. Quick service. The dry rub and variety of sauces created plenty of options.

We had our family reunion for the first time in McPherson this year, when past years it was held in Newton. We were hoping to find food to be catered that resembled our past menus. I found Woodies by their great reviews. Their food was excellent, and Heather was more than accomodating with ordering and answering all my questions regarding all the food. The family members were very pleased with the food....the barbeque was excellent tasting, and with some of us being from KC, where barbeque is popular, that is quite a compliment. The sides were excellent as well...especially the sweet, smokey beans and potato salad! read more

Very respectable BBQ. Love the brisket and fried ocra. Only ask is for jalapeño smoked sausage.

decent food but the resturant itself needs attention. The whole place smelled like pinesol and dirty urinal, and the kitchen desperately needs deep cleaned. The workers were nice and the owner/boss man was very polite and helpful, but the management side of me was fixated on the splatters, greasy film, buildup, and dirt on the walls, baseboards, ceiling tiles, vents, appliances, and storage racks. read more

Very good BBQ, and the sides are delicious as well!! We had brisket, turkey, pulled pork, potato salad, smoked beans. All were excellent!

Being from Texas we know our Barbecue and Great Barbque and Great Service !! My favorite New Restaurant in McPherson, Kansas read more

the Food was good but the meat was kinda of a different texture from the last time I went then today me and my mother in law went today and hours pass and my mother in law starts throwing up and then I have a stomach ache was on the toilet for about an hour and my mother in law throwing up again overall I am disappointed in woodies because I expected to be fine after eating and after we got food poisoning I will never go back to woodies meat was wrapped in foil idk why cuz last time it wasn't it eother was overcooked or reheated in a microwave cuz no way in heck is that tender I got brisket so did my mother n law and I thought something was off becuz brisket is usually tender well what I have had other than that then it deserves a 1 star like why am I getting stomach pains after eating woodies read more

I picked this stop for my road trip to Wichita because it was drive-thru but I'm still thinking about the baked potato stacked with pulled pork a full week later read more

Go hungry! Fairly priced. Large portions. Had the ribs. Great taste. Not cooked with sauce on ribs. Had a good taste. Plenty of sauces on the side to choose. Wife had loaded potato. Brisket was flavorful. read more

Woodies is a good place to go for bbq if in McPherson either passing through or staying in town. There were six in our party and everyone was happy with their meals. I had a pulled pork sandwich and cole slaw. Both were really good. One person said the brisket was a little dry but have had at a lot of more expensive joints and had dry brisket. Portions were plenty big and the price was reasonable as well. read more

Decent counter-service barbecue at a great price. The ribs we had were nicely smoked, juicy and tender. The smoked turkey breast was also nicely smoked, moist and flavorful. I'm more of a fan of sliced brisket, but their chopped brisket was tasty. Their sides of slaw, fried okra and mac-n-cheese were also pretty good. I'd eat here again. read more

I was unexpectedly rolling through this part of the state and decided to stop in McPherson for lunch; pulled up Yelp on my phone to see what was available at 12:30 pm on a Sunday and BBQ jumped out at me. Figured I would give the place a shot! Walked right up to the counter and ordered the two-meat dinner (beef brisket & pulled pork) with fries and mac & cheese for sides. The kid behind the counter brought my food to the table pretty quickly after I filled my cup with soda -- the selection of which, by the way, is poor, with the only diet drink in evidence being the godawful Diet Coke. I think there were literally more selections offered at the BBQ sauce bar. (There I chose the hickory variety and it was lovely.) I was also a little disappointed to find my brisket not sliced but chopped up into bits that made it harder to eat outside the context of a sandwich; at any rate it was decent enough, though not exceptional. I probably wouldn't order it again. The pork on the other hand was legitimately excellent. Tender, flavorful, delicious, everything I had hoped it would be! Top recommendation. Sides were surprisingly strong too; the fries were coated in a delicious crispy seasoned batter and the creamy, cheesy macaroni was above average. The meal came with a slice of warm buttered Texas toast with which I made a foldover sandwich with some of my pork; I only wish I had received two to help better eat the loose beef bits as well. The price was about what I would expect, the place was generally clean, the staff was adequate (though admittedly brusque) and at the end of my meal I found myself licking my fingers. Would definitely go back should I find myself in the neighborhood again. read more

Woodies Smokehouse - Two-Meat Dinner (Pulled Pork & Beef Brisket) w/Fries, Mac & Cheese and Texas Toast. - Barbeque Near Me - McPherson, Kansas

This was a super pleasant surprise. Set in a fast food building with a drive thru, I wasn't expecting much. We ordered sandwiches, I had the farmer stacker with pulled pork and K had the stacker with quac, bacon and ranch with smoked turkey. The turkey was really good. As for my sandwich the pork was tender and smoky and the beans were very good. I chose the bun (rather than the toast) and I loved it. It held up well with all that bbq goodness. The sandwiches were reasonably priced and we got our orders in no time. It's great to have found a new spot in a location I travel through on occasion. I will definitely be back read more

Traveling to Oklahoma we stopped in McPherson to spend the night. We chose to have dinner at Woodies. What a great decision on our part, it was delicious! I ordered ribs and my husband had the three meat plate, chicken, brisket and ribs. Everything was cooked to perfection, moist, smokey, tender bbq. Be forewarned the servings are very generous, you won't leave hungry. For sides we had coleslaw, delicious and fried okra to die for! If you choose to visit Woodies, you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was good, service just okay. The ribs and fried okra was awesome. Husband loved the turkey and sausage read more

Woodies Smokehouse - Ribs and okra - Barbeque Near Me - McPherson, Kansas

We always hear how good Kansas BBQ is. If this is any example of what the rest of the state has to offer then I just won't eat BBQ in Kansas again. They served the brisket shredded, what? Who does that? It had decent flavor but it was dry. The ribs were not good. Looked as if they had been cooked in the oven. I think the mashed potatoes were from a box and the brown gravy was just bad. And as always. The need to upgrade their Ice Tea. It has a funny taste to it. read more

Dam good barbecue had the three meat dinner with two sides Creamy coleslaw was great Smokey beams tasted good Hot links, brisket and pull pork chop was tender and juicy Highly recommend this place read more

Love love love!! The food is amazing and everyone is super nice!! I'm definitely coming back!! The portion sizes could feed everyone

Definitely not good. They upcharge the brisket without telling you & its chopped. It looked exactly like the pulled pork but a little darker. They don't even make their own sauce. The potato salad was good but slaw looked premade also. read more

I legit downloaded the yelp app so I could give Woodies the props they deserve. My wife and I are avid foodies and we have been to many places in our travels and Woodies is absolutely amazing! We ordered the brisket, ribs, fried okra, fries, and spicy beans and each and every one of them were phenomenal! If you're a fan of spicy food the spicy beans are amazing! The French fries are seasoned to perfection! The okra is not overly battered and perfectly seasoned. The brisket is Smokey and moist and melts in your mouth. But the star of the show is Woodies ribs. I couldn't even pick up one of the ribs without the meat falling off the bone!! A variety of different types of barbecue sauce and very kind staff. Dinning area is small but welcoming. We will most definitely be returning to Woodies!!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! 3 of us ate sandwiches, okra and french fries. And I'm telling you, this was hands down, one of the best BBQ brisket sandwiches and sides that I have ever had (southwest stacker). My guys agreed, loving their selections as much as I did. We will be back! read more

I don't want to exaggerate credentials here as I am a very average smoker of meats. But I became very familiar with KC pit legends for the years in which I brought the KC Masterpiece BBQ Restaurants offerings online to sell nationwide. On Tuesday, I was visiting MAC and a friend in McPherson asked what the best KC BB joints were. I told him. Then, he told me I needed to try Woodies there in town. TBH- I didn't expect much, as I have eaten at many underwhelming BBQ restaurants. But Woodies pleasantly surprised me. The brisket was lovely. The portions were gargantuan. And I absolutely loved the creativity they exhibited in their menu items. I decided on a Bacon/Mac and Cheese brisket which made a lovely lunch and dinner on Tuesday. Their fries are very good and seasoned well. All in all, a very pleasant surprise 3 hours from the BBQ capitol:) I highly recommend Woodies. read more

I'm rating this for exactly what it is, a drive thru BBQ joint. The gal in the drive thru was very sweet and got our very large order perfect. My smoked turkey was great. Potato salad was pretty good and the coleslaw was okay. Honestly better than we expected. In our group we ordered a little bit of everything; brisket, pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese loaded with bacon bits and pork, and the spicy smoked beans. Everyone was full and satisfied afterwards. It may seem obvious, but the food is heavy for sure, so wear your stretchy pants! Ha! read more

Checked in with Yelp to find someplace that was not a chain restaurant and found Woodie's Smokehouse, and decided to give it a try. They had a decent selection of meats and sides. We asked the young lady that took our order what her favorite was, and she said pulled pork. So, that's what we tried. We are it without any sauce and it had a wonderful smoky flavor. My wife had baked beans and I had the spicy baked beans. The regular baked beans were very good. The spicy beans are spicy. They lived up to the name. But they were delicious. I will stop here again. read more

Woodies Smokehouse - Pulled pork, coleslaw, spicy baked beans and Texas toast. - Barbeque Near Me - McPherson, Kansas

Stopped in off of the interstate and was surprised to find this delicious BBQ with a drive thru. I ordered the Mac Stack, which was pulled pork on texas toast with baked beans and cheese piled on top and a Dr. Pepper. I loved how the beans were sweet and not choked down with pepper and vinegar or whatever people do to try and have a signature taste. If I lived closer I would definitely return and recommend to friends. read more

Excellent barbecue! The ribs are my favorite ham and Turkey next but the okra and potatoes are awesome too

Being accustomed to decent award-winning Kansas City barbecue, we were a bit disappointed with Woodie's. Cole slaw was very good, sweet beans had more "sweet" than flavor, and the mac n cheese was bland and could have originated from a box. I loved the fried okra - you could tell it was fresh as it wasn't mushy and some were still crispy. On the meat, we were mislead by the other Yelp reviews... they obviously haven't tasted real smoked barbecue. Because the pulled pork and brisket were almost minced, you could not tell the difference between the meats. The ham was salty. I had the Poutine potato with pulled pork and gravy. Not much meat on it and minimal gravy.... I've had wetter poutines. If it's the only place open, go for it, otherwise try somewhere else if you want real Kansas barbeque. read more

I got sick. It tasted great but I woke up with aches and headache but most of all the shits.

Loaded baked potato and loaded French fries are awesome. They're a meal in itself. Great selection of barbecue sauces. Service was really good. Brought food to the table and made sure everything was good. You can smell the barbecue as soon as you get out of the vehicle. Highly recommend read more

Stopped in for some epic bbq and was rudely greeted while the other 2 workers started talking about my friend and I right in front of us. Proceeded to order while cashier was very curt with me. I ordered brisket, which is in fact pretty descent, red potato salad and coleslaw. Both need no mention as they tasted like they came from the plastic tub of crap sold by Reesers. Just order the meats I guess read more

Excellent! Huge sandwich. I kid you not, it was as large as the plate. Delicious Will definitely stop again.

Menu is small and hard to read. Food is pretty good. Baked potato is huge and fluffy. Sandwiches are stacked with great BBQ

Hands down my favorite BBQ place! Delicious flavor and large portions. The sweet baked beans and potato salad are my favorite two sides. Turkey, pulled pork, brisket, and hot links are amazing!! They also have a large potato that you can top with your choice of meat. They are soooo good! Great staff and wonderful service. We have used them for catering as well. Always on time and enough food for everyone. Highly recommend!! read more

Everything was delicious! Woodies serves generous portions of legit BBQ at a reasonable price. Highly recommend. Clean dining area, polite staff 10/10 read more
