Specializing in soul-satisfying smoked meats, this beloved barbecue restaurant has earned a stellar reputation for its rich, robust flavors and generous portions that leave every guest deeply satisfied.

    The restaurant was very good. I like the way the raider paid attention to my order. They also brought me a complementary drink, which made the restaurant A+. I would recommend this restaurant to any of my friends in the future.

    The Restaurant has been closed and now back open. Looks very nice inside. Food is still delicious. I had slice beef sandwich with a rib tip sandwich mixed sauce and barbecue chicken sandwich. Everything was was delicious. My family was happy, I’m so glad they’ve reopened.

    I was born and raised on Woody's. I was so happy when the Florence location reopened. That is my favorite of all locations. There are no misses here; whatever you order will be A hit. The food is always fresh, consistent flavors and quality. The Florence location has the best parking too.
