Our first visit to Woodlands American Grill far exceeded our expectations. I don't know why it took so long to give them a try, but I'll definitely be adding them to the rotation. We made reservations for dinner here on a Saturday evening. We were seated in a cozy booth and were greeted by multiple waitstaff. I ordered a Strawberry Basil Lemonade Mocktail. It was nice and tart and wound up being a perfect complement to my meal. For a starter, we got the Hot Artichoke and Spinach dip. It was magnificent! You could really tell the flavor was rich due to the cream cheese. It came with some lavash chips and the hearty crunch paired beautifully with the creaminess of the dip. For an entree, I got the fish tacos. They were stellar, and I enjoyed every component, from the chipotle tortillas to the fried fish- it was excellent! It also came with a chilled orzo salad with a basalmic dressing- it was so refreshing and was just as good the next day as part of my leftovers. The portioned were generous so it was enough for 2 full meals for me which makes this an incredible value. I was so stuffed that I didn't have room for dessert, but perhaps next time I'll give it a whirl. Overall Woodlands American Grill was excellent in every regard. The service was great, the food exceptional and the value was top-notch! Definitely coming back soon! read more

Wowza! This place has been under my radar since 2008 and FINALLY I tried them out... The ambiance is really nice. They have taken queues from Frank Lloyd Wright throughout and the result is a timeless and classic with woods, stones, and water that brings the atmosphere to life. Our service was great. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being gratuitous. Being a Friday during Lent, I ordered the Fish Tacos. They honestly might have been the best Fish Tacos I have had. I finished the meal with Bread Pudding. In addition to being beautiful, it was also delicious. Personally I think it would have been better without the sliced bananas on top, but I made do! read more

Service was excellent and friendly as usual. I had a half of a wedge salad and it was really good. Definitely recommend it. Half of a wedge is more than enough for one person! For my main, I had my usual horseradish crusted salmon. Honestly, not sure why they call it that as it really doesn't have any horseradish flavor that I could detect. Unfortunately, the salmon was dry and overcooked. I had the sauce on the side and that made it obvious about the salmon. Enjoyed the bed of.red cabbage. read more

Stopped in here on a whim with my wife and dad as well as my 18 month old. Staff and our server did a fantastic job. Menu is large with some rotating options and specials. We started off with goat cheese bruschetta bites, which were amazing. I ordered the fish sandwich, which came grilled with lettuce, and an aioli. Fish was cooked perfectly, toasted bun, and an overall great meal. Lots of indoor and patio seating. 10/10 recommend this spot! read more

This place was amazing! We enjoyed everything that we ordered. We started with a mojito and the cucumber refresher mocktail. Then we ordered the calamari and the ahi tuna tower. Calamari is what you would expect. The ahi tuna tower was delicious. Whatever dressing that is on it was SO good. For entrees we ordered the bacon wrapped cordon blue and the chimichurri steak. Our server asked if we were splitting and I said yes. When the food arrived, they took the liberty of splitting both plates for us. I loved that! I've never had a restaurant that took the initiative to do that and it was such a nice touch. We finished with splitting a creme brûlée and it was the perfect touch. The shortbread cookies on the side were a nice accompaniment. The restaurant itself was very clean, quiet and just a good place to celebrate a birthday with a nice meal. read more

The woodlands grill was very nice. Our server was great as well but unfortunately I forgot his name! Our food was all tasty and came out quickly and hot. My burger was good but not anything super extraordinary. I'd come back but might check out another place first if it was convenient. read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. Our server meme was terrific..friendly, knowledgeable. Apps were delicious....best spinach and artichoke dip ever! Calamari also very good. Filet was perfectly cooked and the accompaniments (Asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes) were excellent. Because it was my birthday, I got a complimentary dessert...I chose the Banana Pecan Bread Pudding and it was one of the best bread puddings I have ever had! I have been going to Woodlands Grip for a long time....and they still do everything really well! read more

This was my first time at Woodlands American Grill. There were six of us and each and every plate came out looking very appetizing. Food turned out to be very aesthetically pleasing, very tasty and the service was great. I would consider a return visit when in the area. read more

Consistency in Food quality and efficient service is still the calling card for the Woodlands!

First time here, they were open on Easter so decided on an early dinner. Nice wood bar area, with full bar. Not to busy at the beginning, but by the time we left started picking up. Our waitress very attentive but didn't rush us. We started with the Cherry Tomato Goat Cheese Bruschetta, it was so good! I love goat cheese and there were plenty on there, very creamy. We decided to split the Fish n Chips, the dish came with 4peices, very meaty, white fish, with a good (not greasy) crunch on the batter, and nice crispy fries. Homemade tartar sauce was very tasty. I got the Quinoa Bowl to go for lunch the next day, it was really good! Great flavors with the fresh/dried fruit with grilled chicken. It had Avacodo and egg as well, with a light dressing of balsamic (that brought it all together! I was able to eat on it 2 days! read more

This place is a great place to go and enjoy the food and service. I've tried many things on the menu and I have enjoyed everything.

Their steak, atmosphere and server were wonderful! I'll be going back soon to try something different!

Went in last week with my daughter around 4pm walked in and waited about 15min to be seated ( mind you there was only one person at the bar) they never came to greet us or to sit us at a table!!!!after about 20 min of waiting we left!! read more

I've been here three times over a year and every time, the food was very good. Service was good. It's a very comfortable atmosphere.

we don't get here very often as we live near downtown Dallas. But the food and service definitely make it worth the trip. Dylan was our server and could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Hubs had the fish sandwich which he really enjoyed and I had mushroom soup was about the best I've ever had. read more

A true gem! Our whole party was thrilled with their meals and the outstanding service. The chimichurri steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, and even the potato wedges underneath were perfectly crispy. The mushroom risotto was described as 'incredible,' and the macaroni and cheese was delicious. Even the broccoli --a dish that can be tough to get excited about--was completely devoured, a testament to how good it was. The wine selection was excellent, and to top it all off, we were treated to a small plate of complimentary chocolates. 10 out of 10, no notes! read more

I've been here several times, and every time the food is just as delicious as the first time. I've been to several private events here - they have a nice space in the back to accommodate 10-15 people - and the service is kind and professional. Also, those chocolate pieces they give you at the end of the meal are TO DIE FOR. Thinking about it now makes me want one. Some of my go-to favorite options are the cedar plank salmon salad and the ahi tuna nachos (the ahi tower is also great). Honestly, you can't go wrong. I give it all the stars! read more

There's something about Woodlands that immediately puts me at ease--they get that balance between nice and relaxed. The space feels polished without being overly pretentious, and the menu offers enough variety so everyone I bring can find something they love. The staff always treat you well, and I feel like they actually care. It's my go-to when I want good food without fuss. read more

Thursday December 26th, I was craving the Hollyhock Pork Chop. (Which is absolutely delicious!) We actually haven't had a disappointing meal at this restaurant! ((Some of the servers haven't always been the kindness or friendliness. But I have overlooked it.)) BUT this time I was not going to keep my mouth shut! I noticed the bearded bartender was the only one taking care of the bar area. However all tables were not taken and there were only two individuals at the bar. The restaurant seemed short staffed; most likely because it was the day after Christmas. The bartender walked over and I asked; are you engaged yet? He leaned on to the highchair and cocked his foot onto the chair. ???! He told us his story of getting engaged; we then ordered drinks and one being a Lemon drop. The bartender asked my husband if he would like sugar on the rim; my husband asked for Tajin instead. "Bartender stated I've never heard of that but OK!" As well we ordered Bruschetta Bites. Which I have ordered numerous times; for in dining and take-out. It seemed to take some time in receiving our drinks. But we waited patiently... He delivered our drinks along with our water, we had asked for no ice; "he said he forgot!" He took them away and returned with glasses with no ice. Another employee brought over the Bruschetta Bites and he seemed to have dropped them onto the table and off he went; no words were spoken. My husband and just looked at each other. In over the years I've ordered Bruschetta Bits at this restaurant as well others. I've made them and I have "never" had them on biscuits! They have always been on a thin toasted baguette. I mentioned this to the bartender and in "multiple" back and forth comments he said I was wrong and I must have forgotten! It seemed he was going to have the last word on this. He said we only serve them on baguettes during Happy Hour. I've never been to Woodlands or any other restaurant during a Happy Hour! It is definitely not my thing to go to a Happy Hour. And when he said I was wrong, you must be mistaken and I misunderstood! That was it for me! I asked for the check, we paid, and we were out of there! To be disrespected, in the way he did, more than once; of non-approval of someone wanting Tajin and he telling me I was wrong. I'll take my time, our business, our money and celebrate my birthday elsewhere. He lost out on a 25% cash tip which we always leave! read more

Wow my husband found this place and I'm glad he did. Everything my friends and I got was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was also very very helpful and so attentive. This could easily be a date night spot or a birthday dinner spot. Overall I will be coming back to try their other plates!!! read more

I decided to go light for dinner and ordered a salad. The Cedar Plank Salmon Salad to be exact. It was delicious. The salad came out on a plate and the salmon was on a cedar plank that the server slid on my salad. It was perfect. You can order bread on request, which we did as soon as we got to the table. We didn't get it until our food came out. Supposedly, there was a mistake and our bread was sent to another table. Then they said in 90 seconds it would be out and that turned into eight minutes. Yes, we had warm bread with our food, but we would have liked to nibble on some bread beforehand. We sat in the bar area and we could watch the waterfall as we ate, which was nice. read more

Went for our anniversary dinner! Delicious!!! Can't wait to go back! Keke was our fabulous waiter! We got lemon drop martinis and the chicken flatbread to begin. Got ranch to dip it in and was delicious! Drink not too sweet so perfect. Hubby got caprese chicken sandwich with reg fries and looked yummy, too much food but he ate what he could. I ordered the grilled Caesar with blackened shrimp. Thank goodness keke did 1/2 order it was perfect amount. Then a plate of dark chocolate bark was served! It was really good and I don't really like dark chocolate! Will go back soon! Thanks Keke! read more

Nope! Food was underwhelming to say the least. Its honestly just a step above Chili's

From start to finish, we had a solid experience at the Woodlands Grill. A local spot in North Dallas in the Preston-Forest shopping center, the Woodlands Grill is a nondescript standalone building that you'd never think could prepare the most delicious meal around, yet they do. Plus, the service was on point every step of the way. Bread service: very, VERY, good. Drinks: solid. We got the ahi tuna tower appetizer, and it was super tasty in every bite. The soy ginger marinade and avocado worked well together along with the super fresh ahi tuna was amazing. Highly recommend. (My mom and dad both said they'd come back and just order this just as their meal - it was that good.) The Mohogany Chicken with a sweet maple glaze was decadent and would totally get it again. The fish of the day was cooked to perfection and everything was very tasty from the sides to the salads and vegetables, especially the garlic mash and the broccolini . For dessert, we tried the white chocolate raspberry crème brûlée. The white chocolate chips on top were a nice touch but were unnecessary; the crème brûlée itself was truly decadent. It came with some dense yet mouthwatering white chocolate raspberry cookies on the side - every bite a flavorful disco in my mouth. This really is a good neighborhood spot for a date night , a family visit , or really just a perfect dinner overall, and I'm glad it's found it's home in Preston-Forest. (Yet I'm surprised I'm only just learning about it now!) read more

I live about a mile away from the Woodlands American Grill and it is hands down my favorite restaurant. The food is consistently good, the staff is friendly and they make good drinks. Tuesdays are half-off wine by the bottle and Wednesdays are half-off wine by the glass - how much better does it get? Additionally, you can "have it your way" - make substitutions, get the fish grilled instead of fried, etc. Just ask and they will accommodate. My favorites: Appetizers: The flatbread, tuna tower, artichoke dip, bruschetta bites, tuna nachos. Salads: Tuna, steak, smoked trout. Mains (I usually don't get one because I don't eat that much): Tuna steak, chicken pasta, rib eye. Also good fish tacos and sweet potato fries. Everyone I have ever brought there has liked it. Sorry that some of you had a bad experience. I eat there a lot (1-5 times a month) and am never disappointed. read more

Came here for early brunch with my mom pre-Easter. It was was not busy at 10am on a Saturday. I got a $6 mimosa, a decent value. Others got drip coffee, decent offering. There's a fairly large brunch menu but full menu was available. The dishes we ordered were all very good with large portions. Our server was very kind and accommodating with suggestions and small substitution requests. The restaurant is cute with classic American decor. I would definitely return if we are in the area. read more

I was doing a delivery order and what seemed like the hosts/servers were visibly looking down on me as soon as they saw me walking to the door. Treated me like scum and had me sit in a corner so ppl wouldn't see me as much. Once a manager/higher up came to hand me the order I heard them mention "I couldn't wait to get him out of here" and snickering with said higher up man and laughing at me as I walked out. I was wearing sweatpants and a coat I was clean and wearing cologne not dirty or covered in mud to those people in the front laughing at me at first just know that you too are working a regular job serving people you are NO better or "above me" just as I am delivering something for somebody as well. To the higher up, how disgusting of you to make fun of me as well for my appearance if I wanted to eat there, I could don't judge people by appearances. read more

Took the mom to an early Mother's Day brunch. We were seated quickly in a booth. We asked and they have a bunch. I do like the styling of this place. Lots to choose from on the menu. She got the omelette and ate all of it. I had the tuna tower as my main. Really good. Only big issue is it took a while to pay. Systems weren't working. Finally they got my card to run. read more

A friend invited me to meet her for happy hour....what a great deal...specials on house wines and appetizers...enough for dinner! We split the brisket sliders and chicken flatbread--delicious! We plan to make it a regulare event. read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable. We had a booth but the tables are well-spaced as well. The menu is upscale and a bit pricey for some items but the food is high quality so it was worth the price. We started with a wedge salad, which has a different spin with pickled ginger on top. It added a new flavor and we liked it. It was an excellent wedge, one of the best I've had. I had the mahogany chicken and really liked it a lot. The chipotle-maple glaze is addicting. The chicken was tender and moist. No complaints. The wife had Campanella pasta and liked it although she said it had too much chicken! Too generous with the chicken, imagine that. The cheesecake for dessert was outstanding, almost like NYC. The service was excellent, attentive and efficient. Overall, we really liked this place and will return for sure. Maybe for brunch, which seems to be a popular option. read more

Excellent service and warm atmosphere. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious. Both food and service here is consistently high quality.

Leeann was our waitress. What a ray of sunshine. Had a wonderful lunch. Cream of Mushroom soup and the Manhattan Clam Chowder were both amazing. The Turkey Bacon Club highly recommend. Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Blue was outstanding,the Brussel Sprout underneath were perfectly done. Definitely going back. read more

Place is great always packed. My go to is a chicken peanut salad. It's unbelievable will always be back for this. I just wish it was still available at the Hueston on beltline. read more

This is a review for brunch, hoping to return for dinner. Brad, our seasoned server, took good care of us. We enjoyed the mimosas, enchiladas, and French toast. The menu had other nice selections. I was offered extra salsa and avocado crema, which was a nice touch. We got a complimentary small plate of dark chocolate bark with peppermint flavoring. The full menu looked varied enough, from steak to fish to pasta to the crab cake and eggs brunch offering. The place is light, airy, casual and has a good vibe. Reminded us of an updated Kip's burger place. There's a bar area with widescreen TV too. This seems like a neighborhood place (perhaps an older crowd) and is conveniently located off Forest Lane (not buried in the shopping center behind it). Easy reservations through Open Table. read more

Had a great lunch experience after being away for several years due to career. Ambiance as inviting as it always is. And our server, Cynthia, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and had a great sense of humor. As always, the food is large. But I knew from previous visits, a go box was a given. I had the three shredded pork sliders. Excellent meat was tender and full of flavor. Instead of a side, I opted for the special black bean soup. Odd. Subtle spice but the beans were more of a thin mush rather than whole. Give non ground up beans. Great place and will be back. read more

The food looks good. The ambience and the staff are always good. It's a great neighborhood restaurant.

Great everything. Super fine tuned experience with servers that are conspicuously extraordinary in their a$$kickery. The horseradish salmon and bread pudding are quite likely the best 2 courses of food you could find in all of Dallas Texas. Put them in your mouth and shut up. Your welcome. Ask for Veronica. read more

Suuuuh good. Drinks good, food great, service excellent!! It was pretty slow inside which is totally shocking because the entire experience was great!!! Made a reservation for 9 and were seated immediately upon entering. Ordered a few cocktails and appetizers. The artichoke was delish!!! We had a vegetarian in the group and the options made it a great choice for our vegger and meat eater! I got the cordon bleu with the Brussels and hooooollly delish. The sauce on the Brussels was freakin heaven. My counterparts literally were making fun of the near sexual noises I was making while eating my dinner. read more
