The overall gestalt is this is a sports bar. It is built around the central bar, it's got a ton (more than a dozen) big screen TVs, all turned to sports channels. They are on all four walls. It does make it a little bit noisy if you came for a regular meal. That said, it's almost like it started as a country cafe restaurant and grew into a sports bar. The menu actually offers typical Texas meals like chicken fried steak for less than they sell a burger. A restaurant in transition? I don't know... I wanted to see how they do with the classics so I ordered the chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes are about 50% cheddar cheese. certainly edible without any other addition. The meat was good quality, tender, good flavor. Could have used some butter on the Mexican street corn. Overall a good value at 16 dollars. Non smoking. Happy hour from 4 to 7. read more

Fish Fry is our go-to on Friday's during Lent and the Fish-N-Chips pub entree is delicious. Thankfully they have it on the menu year round. You get your choice of sides and tater tots are a yummy option. The coleslaw is crunchy and creamy and the fish is to die for, you get three big giant battered white fish filets and it's plenty for two or three depending on your appetite. The shrimp cocktail sauce reminds me of my all time favorite Pete's Fish-n-Chips sauce back home (an institution in Phoenix) now I wish Woodson's had some fried shrimp too. We will be back again next week if we don't make it to our church fish fry! read more

I visited this restaurant since I was in the area one weeknight and I have had it on my list for a while. I initially thought it was related to the Fielding's restaurants in the Woodlands area but it has no relation. It's basically a sports bar with a kitchen, but apparently a big kitchen because they have a good size menu of burgers, sandwiches, comfort food, seafood, Italian food, salads, apps, pricy desserts, egg rolls, mac and cheeses, wings, and a healthy list of draft beers. I came in for the burger since I had read it was formerly a tri-blend of my 3 fav combinations of beef on a burger: chuck, brisket and short rib. I'm not sure if they're still doing the blended beef because the patty didn't taste like any previously blended burgers I've had before. When I ordered the burger it came out to my table about 4 minutes later. Not sure how they can pull this off for a patty that's 1/2 lb. At home it takes me at least 8 minutes. I went with the Texan specialty burger. This burger wasn't that good and was one that tasted best upon first bite, then progressively got worse as you eat more of it. I didn't finish it and eventually peeled off a lot of ingredients and bun by the end. They have a nice atmosphere, but I would try another menu item next time. I will likely visit the location closer to my house in Spring next time. read more

Great sports bar/pub going all in for the World Cup. Plenty of seating surrounded by TVs. Depending on how hungry you are there are lots of choices. Appetizers and full entrees like chicken fried steak. I went for the bang bang shrimp tacos. It comes with Mexican street corn but I opted for the onion rings instead. Full bar with lots of beer on tap. We visited early afternoon and it was pleasant but I bet when the games are on it is super loud. Happy hour specials from 4-7. They are currently running World Cup watch parties with special promotions and giveaways. Casual vibe with great service. read more

The staff actually seemed super nice including our waitress. My kid enjoyed the kids wings. It comes with a dipping sauce and side (got the tater tots and they loaded the basket with them) as well as a kids drink. Some sides are a buck more but it's the ones that cost $4.99 instead of $3.99. I got the spinach artichoke dip which was good and chips were fresh. Also got the cookie skillet which took a while to bake so order it before you're done eating. Large patio with dogs outside. read more

Terrible service. I am not sure what has changed in the last few months, but it is absolutely awful. And if you were a woman, don't expect to get waited on. As much as I used to love this place I would not recommend coming here. The bartenders or just flat out rude. They only cater to men. read more

Crawfish are super flavorful! They taste better hot, so order 2 lbs at a time. Consider a blue moon on draft, it goes really well with the crawfish! read more

Service from Allison was 5*, easily accepting the off menu order for a salad topped with the shredded brisket that normally goes on a sandwich. The $alad was very $mall, but with quality ingredient$. Brisket was ok. A bit stringy for being a signature item, and in Texas you'd better serve better. Guest wanted brisket egg rolls and we split an order before I recalled they are horrible. They were not as bad as I remembered, but close. I guess someone likes these cultural abominations. Atmosphere was strangely warm. Outdoor temperatures at 69F seemed to have compelled the natives accustomed to sweltering to turn on the heat!? Ugh! read more

It was poppin on a Friday night so we thought we'd see what the hype was about. It's a sports bar with a larger menu. The pretzel was decent and the drinks were great, but the entrees were lackluster. Maybe it was the busy night or just an off day, but our server was also stretched thin between a lot of tables so we spent more time waiting than anything else. read more

Came for the Crawfish. Honestly, I'd probably give it a 3.5. Typical bar / pub restaurant . Nothing that stood out and really nothing that dragged it down either. From looking around it seemed that burgers/ fries/ and beers are their staple menu items. But after all it is a pub. Interesting that there crawfish come delivered in a plastic bag on a large tray. Although I didn't ask for potatoes or corn it came with it anyways. The crawfish were somewhat on the small size but I realize it is mid March after all. Decent food at a decent price. read more

I am a DoorDash driver and I was here to pick up the customer food and the lady said about 10 minutes the food's gonna be ready. 10 to 15 minutes later, the food was not ready yet and I told her why is the food not out and she doesn't know and she doesn't care about the order I had for the customer in a rude way. Y'all should care about other people's DoorDash orders instead of not caring. read more

Had Woodson's Local Tap + Kitchen recently and really liked the relaxed ambiance. We ordered the queso dip and ahi nachos to start and both were delicious. I ordered the fried shrimp tacos and my husband and son got the crawfish, shrimp, snow crab, sausage boil. Food was pretty decent but the service was seriously lacking. Our waitress was not on top of it and our dinner took almost 3 hours from start to finish...insane! read more

My broke bestie and I had lunch here today. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as high chairs for both high and low top tables. My waitress was super sweet when I apologized for my little dude making a mess. He is only 9.5 months old and still learning how to eat. Now on to the good stuff! Homemade ranch, seasoned fries and quality meats, cheeses and bread make the club sandwich an absolute home run. In reality it is big enough for 2 people to split. And the macaroni and cheese is kid approved! We definitely will be returning again. read more

Friendly well stocked bar, different beers excellent bartenders and great food on the menu. The ambience is welcoming everyone talks to everyone. It's a great place to meet up solo or with your Besty or a group. I have been going there for several years and it's never let me down great place to watch the game March madness is coming. Get there early clean your seat. They also have a new brunch on Saturday and Sundays with special cocktails. Go check it out. You might see me there great local place I live in the Woodlands and I still go there. Try the giant pretzel. You won't regret it. Great soups great salads great main course is great sandwiches great appetizers to share. There is nothing on that menu. That isn't delicious. read more

always love the food and atmosphere. Emily and tawny always take care of us. Everyone is wonderful!

Wanted to go for a good comfort/gastropub food and found Woodson's was not far from my hotel, plus the pics / reviews were very favorable. I sat at the bar and was pleasantly greeted. I checked out the craft beer selections and eventually opted to stay with water. The atmosphere was very inviting, and bar stools were probably one of the most comfortable I have ever sat on. Food was very good and reasonably priced. If I lived in the area, Woodson's would definitely be a go-to for sure. read more

**To kick off football season 2025, I DoorDashed wings from this restaurant to a friend of mine. He's a huge football fan, travels all the time, and has had wings just about everywhere you can think of during football season. He messaged me right after eating and said these were by far the best wings he's ever had. We didn't get to experience the atmosphere of the restaurant since it was delivery, but the wings alone made a big impression. Definitely a fantastic find, and the perfect way to start the season!** read more

Woodson is always a solid choice for dinner in Conroe. After a killer arm workout, I was famished for wings and they absolutely delivered. It was Kristy's service that pushed the experience to an even higher level. She was attentive, kind, positive, upbeat, and she made my friend and I feel like friends she'd known for years. We weren't left waiting forever, and she wasn't hovering. Her service was a great compliment to the amazing wings. I also noticed that it wasn't just us she was giving great service to. Many times, good service goes unmentioned, so i feel this kudos is well deserved. We had Mango Habenaro, and something garlic (Kristy knows). If you're in Conroe or looking for food on 1488, stop by and ask for her section. read more

Delicious comfort food in a clean but dark, very casual sports bar atmosphere. I had the Woodson Burger, which was a yummy mouthful of beef, mac and cheese, and fried onion strings. SO GOOD. I couldn't decide between fries and tots, so I got half and half, and both were pretty good. The fries had a nice crispy texture but the tots could have been crispier. The table shared the queso (the tortilla chips seemed a tad stale,) and one of the creative "egg rolls," which was savory and filling. Our server was friendly but on the inattentive side. It's a good neighborhood staple, providing a cool, no frills place to meet up with friends. read more

Food was good. We had the wi gs and happy hour pretzel! You have not seen a bigger pretzel. Served with cheese sauce. Very good. Hayley was a great server and the manager was very nice as well! Go have some food and 1/2 off happy hour food 4-7p read more

Saw Woodson's on the way to try out another restaurant and made a mental note to come back and give them a try. Glad that we did. They have some really good food. My wife ordered the Philly; a house shaved NY Strip steak with peppers, onions, queso all on a hoagie roll. My wife was thrilled and absolutely loved her sandwich. I went with The Texan; 1/2 lb patty with lettuce, tomato, pickle, bacon cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce and stacked with onion rings. This was one big and tasty burger which I really enjoyed. The fries were also hot a crispy which really added to the meal. We ordered a couple of beers to go with our meal from what we thought was a good selection of craft beer only to find out that Woodson's did not have any dark beers. Not Stouts. No Porters. How very disappointing! We do like an IPA, Hazy or a good fruity beer but I am a BIG fan of dark beers. Real men drink dark beer! The wait staff was friendly and did a great job of taking care of us. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere at Woodson's and look forward to returning for another great meal. read more

Atmosphere is normal for a Sportsbar and an extensive menu. I only wish that the kitchen actually could cook them. I've been here 4 times, trying to see if was an off day or just bad food. The last, and trust me the final visit, I ordered the Fish and Chips. It was by far the greasiest fish I've ever eaten. Aside from that, the batter was horrible. The wings are good , but isn't that a Sportsbar staple. Their burgers are okay, if you can get the cook to follow your temp preference, which they can't. read more

I absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! I have never been to a place like Woodsons the music and energy was outstanding. The food was also delicious I had the crawfish so good!!!! Definitely if you go try it I think I might have to go back. My server alone was the best server I have ever had. She was a delight her name was Halle just the cutest little thing and she was great at making sure we were accommodated( my husband has bad food allergies) and she made sure everything was pristine for him and myself. 10/10 service I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more
