Woody's is the place to go in Sea Bright! Their new menu is fantastic, featuring some of the best fish tacos around, along with great drinks and an amazing atmosphere. The addition of the new outdoor overhead awning and fans makes the outdoor dining experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. What truly sets Woody's apart is its incredible staff. Everyone is warm, friendly, and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Between the delicious food, refreshing drinks, and outstanding service, it's easy to see why this spot is such a local favorite. I will definitely be back again! read more

I want to Woody's with a party of 6. We were on the hunt for steak to celebrate someone's birthday. We got in and where seated quickly. Dean was ready to take our drink order. That's where the good times end. Not one of us actively enjoyed our meal. The steak tasted unseasoned. The wings were more fat than meat. The crab pasta was immensely forgettable, likely birria pasta with a tin of lump crap mixed in, no lemon or anything else added in. My poke bowl was fine. The Caesar salad was fine. All in all, it was a serviceable dinner. We had higher expectations though. read more

We had been to Woody's prior and enjoyed. We heard it was under new ownership so figured we would give it a try. The waitress offered great service and was very helpful. The food was ok. I didn't mind my salmon bowl but it was average at best. My husband's chicken was good, but the serving size was laughable. I don't think we have ever seen a smaller portion in our lives. The drinks were good and outside table was fine. Increase the menu choices, & give some more food and the place will be better. read more

Meh. Service and seating were good. The food is forgettable. The mussels were supposed to be in a green sauce, but it was a butter sauce with a little parsley. The taste was okay - but the mussels were tiny. Fish tacos were pretty good. Po'Boy sandwich were a few fried shrimp on a hoagie roll. Disappointing. read more

First off, it was my first time here! Harrison is such a great waiter! Wishing him all the best for his upcoming school year, heading to college. The service was fantastic, the staff was friendly, and the food was amazing. We felt very welcome and had a pleasure being served. They were attentive and helpful. Jack, the young boy who helps, is also such a hard worker. It's amazing that they let young adults start working here to earn money. The Cod fish tacos were great, and the poke bowl was one of the best. I'll definitely be back! It's a shame Harrison won't be here after this winter! Best of luck to him. read more

Reliable, tasty, fresh. Not cutting edge but all the better for it. Pleasant staff who've seen it all. Plenty of parking.

Since the ownership changed, the quality has gone downhill. The burgers are now like cheap McDonald's burgers, with small buns and tiny meat patties. The food was disappointing and not worth the price. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place anymore. read more

Tried the "new" Woody's (under new ownership) it was okay. One of my pet peeves are bars that do not free pour their drinks. The new owners have the bartenders measure all the pours. No thanks! It just looks silly and stingy for what they charge for drinks. read more

Food so always consistent. They were busy today but the waitress was unnecessarily apologetic (very sweet). I enjoy a margarita here and the atmosphere is great. Especially if you have a fur friend! read more

Used to love Woody's. New ownership:(. Used to love the calamari, you could get it three ways. None on the menu. Cocktails have gone down hill. At least they still have Kane on tap. read more

I am so beyond disappointed at the fact that there isn't an option to order an aloha bowl on their menu. As someone who would go with their whole family very frequently and this being the only thing on the menu i liked. i will not be going back until it's back on the menu. After asking the waitress she informed us that everyone asks for it. so it genuinely dosnt make an ounce of sense why it can't be back on the menu. thank you for making me waste a meal on a stupid, horrible southern salad when the whole time my aloha bowl was on my mind. read more

Very good food and service. Very clean too! Perfect location in town. I had grilled chicken and prosciutto sandwich. Very flavorful!

Great service and staff. They need to bring back the chips/guacamole and the soft tacos however.

Came here to eat on a Monday night after a round of drinks at Brothers Daley across the street. We were so glad we did. Got a great booth and a wonderful server. We all loved the buffalo chicken dip appetizer. And we couldn't stop talking about their fries. I think... they are the best fries I've ever had?? Just the right size, right amount of crisp and softness. Cozy ambiance and good wines by the glass. I look forward to experiencing this place in all seasons. read more

Luke warm water with no ice- not good beginning, limited menu with not much diversity, if your going to have a small menu have daily specials at least. Look at original Woodys menu that was really good! Wait staff good and what we did have was good- just nothing special, probably won't be back. read more

We waited 45 minutes for an appetizer of clam strips. First, the waitress came to ask how we were doing, and I reminded her that we had ordered the clam strips. She laughed and made some jokes about the kitchen and said the bartender probably ate it. Then we needed another 30 minutes after that. So the service was not good, when the food came, it was just OK. But it is right near the water and the ambience is fine casual. read more

The menu is limited. Smash burger was good. Bar service not proactive and attentive enough. You see the kitchen from the bar and observe kitchen staff eating the whole time. They should at least obstruct view of kitchen especially if they are eating. read more

Stopped by at 4:30 on a Wednesday was delighted to find out they had three dollar off appetizers and their orange crushes on sale! One of the best nachos I've ever had, and they have a scallop dish that was amazing. What a great little local spot and you could take a walk on the beach right up their back pathway. They are also offering outside dining right now. Great food ,great drinks, great bartender. and now thanks to the bartender Lori. I am hooked on a new crush a grapefruit cranberry they make fresh there with fresh squeeze grapefruit! read more

Bring back the old Woody's menu!! Smash burger was so over loaded with lettuce and sauce you could not pick it up. Lettuce was old and brown looking. Cobb salad was not good, lettuce old and discolored, grilled chicken was tough and undercooked. Not a great experiece. My wife and I never make a scene at a restaurant, just paid our bill and left and most likely not return. read more

I came here with the buddy who is from the area last week for the first time. It was a very nice and clean place inside. Could be good for groups or even a date. I got the Al Pastore tacos, which were very solid with a lot of meat, but I thought it could've been a little bit more flavor full. The meat was delicious I also got some wings, which were pretty solid. I would definitely go back and try some other stuff. read more

We had such a great dinner at Woody's in Sea Bright! The atmosphere is fun & family oriented. Our server was friendly & helpful. We had a Cobb salad, Steak Fajitas, Caesar salad & Salmon. Everyone was very pleased with what they'd chosen. I'm sure we will be back! read more

We've always enjoyed the food and service here but had to take off a few stars for the nickel and diming. My wife ordered a Don Julio on the rocks and was charged $1 for the ice. That's just stupid! Woody - you're better than that! read more

Woodys was convenient to where we were so decided to have lunch there. They did a nice job with the outdoor set up and there is plenty of casual seating. Service was good but the lunch was ok. We had their pulled pork tacos. Meat was tender but it lacked some pizazz. Would probably try them again when in the area for lunch but not running back. read more

The Food was sub par. The crab cakes were literally only two medium size and a large amount of lettuce taking up more than half the plate. Nothing else! Definitely not the worth $34. You can also skip the fried appetizers. It does not have ocean views. The service was ok we tried to have grace for a Saturday night but never got refills on drinks until waiting for check. read more

SEA BRIGHT: Woody's Ocean Grille-Sea Bright now allows leashed-dogs at their outdoor seating area!

The food is great with a southwestern spin and we loved the complimentary chips and salsa! We also enjoyed the fajitas and Baja tacos! Woody's is famous for their orange crush cocktail! Our server was great and made sure we were taken care of. A really cool place to hang out and when you're done, you can walk around downtown Sea Bright! read more

We used to frequent during the scam demic. We would eat outside and never stepped into the establishment. Until 2 weeks back. We had a superb waitress who had recommended, were spot on, especially the guacamole. It is quite good, We just ordered the burger. Well the burger was excellent and the place inside is very nice. When we are back down in Sea Bright, we will be back. read more

Solid meal at Woody's They accommodated my wife and I just prior to closing time. Sit where you like and order from the Window, full bar, beer specials etc. The buffalo wings were well above average and cooked well done as requested. The sweet and sour Calamari was very good....nice kick to it and it does have Cilantro if you don't care for it. The sauce was similar to General Tso's and the Calamari was Crispy even with the sauce. It was taco Tuesday and I tried their Blackened chicken tacos, gorgeous plate with 3 tacos topped with Red cabbage and avocado. I would have liked some crema and hot sauce but I didn't want to bother the staff who was busy preparing to close....next time. read more

One of the better Happy Hours around, good food, good staff and a very good Margarita. One thing, you will need to send back the bill to adjust for happy hour prices almost every time. For some reason they keep "forgetting" to give you happy hour prices the first time (only on drinks), without asking to have the pricing adjusted to reflect happy hour. That being said, it's a very good place and I do recommend them highly. read more

Great atmosphere for a drink to cool off after the beach. I always start with the guacamole to see how a restaurant is, and we fully enjoyed it! The drink menu is extensive with plenty of options. My personal favorite is the Spicy Rita. My husband enjoyed the Trea Agaves. He also loves good tequila, so he will often select his tequila and for an extra $1 you can make it into a margarita! The bartenders are friendly, the ambiance is inviting and definitely a great place since there are quite a few locals at the bar. The tacos are amazing, I highly recommend the Baja. They also offer a grilled fish of the day, which is always fantastic. If you like a good quesadilla, definitely order them - you will love them! Woodys did not disappoint and we will be back! read more

Was looking for somewhere to have a nice lunch, being were locals it's always hard to find somewhere we haven't tried. We're heading into off season but it was surprisingly busy, thankfully we were still seated right away. We were seated in the upstairs area and there was a larger party next to us, probably a 6 top nothing crazy. Service wise I'm giving 3 stars, although our waitress was kind she was unprofessional. She complained most of the time how she is overwhelmed and things are taking awhile etc. there was always a negative comment being made. A few times she would be physically sitting with other tables talking with those who are dining in. Not to sound snooty but we're here to eat and enjoy a nice lunch, not hear about your problems and restaurant drama. The food was good. Loved the tacos and raviolis everything came out hot and fresh. Wings and fries were over cooked but still decent. Husband ate his philly so I'm assuming it was fantastic. read more

I was chaperoning my kid's class to Sandy Hook Beach seining crabs, shrimps, and found one BIG flounder. Kids were very excited, so were the chaperones! * After kids got back to their respective buses, myself with another chaperone went for food hunting. We found ourselves at a quaint little town named Sea Bright and Yelp directed me to Woody's Ocean Grill . Very cozy restaurants with happy people and excellent staff. We were immediately seated and in no time we had our food served. Our overall experience was very good. * I ordered Poke. Just perfect for this weather. My friend ordered Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was very tasty. * Food : 4.5 stars Ambience : 4.5 Stars Service : 4.5 Stars. read more
