    First time visit and it did not disappoint. We have a place in Port Clinton and came on a recommendation. We each had the chili dogs with mustard/onions (coney dog) and they were delicious. The tater kegs were very good and the root beer floats in the frosted glass mugs were amazing. We took a gallon of root beer home with us. Our server was amazing, gave us good recommendations. The drive-in service was great or you could eat at picnic tables. This will definitely be a new summer tradition.

    If ever there was a restaurant that didn't need a YELP page, it's Woody's Drive In. Notably, the most recent review is from 4 years ago, and yet today as we rolled into their parking lot, it was completely full. All tables and parking spaces taken, everyone enjoying variations on a theme. That theme being deep fried vegetables, processed meats and root beer. Whatever image you have in your head of fine dining, Woody's is the complete opposite. A time capsule of a restaurant located in a time capsule of a rural Ohio Town, Woody's is CASH ONLY, and will take your order either from a heavily shellacked picnic table or the window of your car, whichever you choose. Everything is cooked to within a millimeter of it's life, and the flavors and textures are almost caricatures of what you'd expect. The chili dog for example just melts in your mouth, with a flavor that is generically perfect, and nothing more. The batter for the corn dogs and onion rings is extra sweet, and even the buns on the dogs and bratwurst patty have an unmistakeable sweetness. Not appropriate for those on ANY type of diet, Woody's is the type of joint that will make you not think about anything other the summer sunshine beating down on the black top around you. It's truly a special place, and just hidden enough away that the only people there, packing every square inch of seating available, are all regulars who know exactly why they came there too.

    First time visiting Woody's. They did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and delicious. We had the coney dog with mustard and onions, Kraut dog, fried cauliflower with homemade ranch dressing. Also the homemade root beer float. We will definitely be making another trip.

    I've had the good fortune of visiting Woody's since I was a child, and it's still just as good today (even with an ownership transition). I no longer live in the area, but make it a point to stop at Woody's when I'm town visiting family. The food is great, and we never leave without taking a gallon of their homemade root beer. The carbonation doesn't last long, though, so only get what you can drink in a couple days. Can't wait until next season when they're open to visit again!

    I can not say enough great things about this place. The food is classic American drive-in food, with the fried mushrooms, chili dogs, french fries, and ice cream being impossible to resist. Their root beer has a perfect balance between sweetness and 'root' flavor. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the building kept spotless. There's even a seating area if you'd prefer to eat outside of your car. You can never go wrong stopping at this seasonal drive-in that offers the best of road food.

    Disgusting "foot long chili dog" (NOT)! Wrong item, soggy, cold, no chili, looks and tastes like came right from pack and not cooked.

    We went today and were greeted fairly quickly, it was fairly busy which I will admit. Placed order to-go for foot long chili dog with mustard, two ice cream cones, onion rings, corn dog basket and an extra corn dog. Waited almost 40min til they brought out food, they said would be right back with ice cream and waited another 15min. Brought one cone, and said the ice cream machine was down but would bring the other one out. Minutes later came out with 1/2 of a cone. In the meantime, our other food was now cold and as you can see from the pic this is not a) foot long chili dog or b) appetizing in any way. Extremely disappointed in our $16 wasted on food. Onion rings burnt, French fries stuck together in lump, corn dogs raw inside.

    I lived in Fremont in elementary and loved going here. I visit every summer and always look forward to going to this place.

    A treat for the summer bringing back the good old days. Unfortunately the place is only open for the summer.

    It's really good, I wish they were open more. Good place for families to come and eat, you can dine out, or dine in your car.
