I finally had a chance to visit this restaurant last Monday. I don't know how many times I drove past last summer with my window down and the smell of BBQ would taunt me. Now I know why - a wood fired grill! Who has a wood fired grill these days? Very impressive.
Woody's is a small and friendly establishment. The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in was the condiment selection. I love good condiments! The menu consists of homemade burgers, pulled pork and macaroni and cheese with the usual side offerings of fries and coleslaw.
My partner and I ordered their standard beef burger with cheese and a side of yukon gold fries to share. We were given a buzzer and took a seat in a booth. The burgers take a while to cook as they are made to order. This was fine with me as I needed time to plan my condiments! I decided to go with roasted garlic mayo, smoked ketchup and pickles. I don't like to go overboard on the condiments as they tend to mask the taste of the burger. They use a really good sesame seed bun - similar to a brioche and it is toasted on the grill.
Now for the moment of truth - with my elbows out and a sufficient hunch over my basket I took a bite. It was messy and delicious! The only thing I would suggest to the chef is that he dimple the burger before putting it on the grill so it doesn't ball up so much. Other than that it was great. The fries were also outstanding and they are happy to give you a side of flavoured mayo for them. The chipotle mayo was a perfect choice.
I will definitely be going back as the pulled pork menu needs to be explored.
