We try to get to The Woodshed twice a year as a nice splurge and a nice getaway from the kids. This is the ONLY place that cooks my picky husband's steak to perfection! At other restaurants, if he says well done they insist on butterflying the steak, but The Woodshed can cook a steak well done without slicing into it and it is STILL as juicy and easy to cut as an overripe tomato! The complimentary sandwiches are legendary even though they are simplistic. And the salad bar is better than average, having toppings that a chain restaurant simply will not carry. I always have the tips; yummy! And my husband gets the horseradish sauce while I get the mushroom gravy. The steak doesn't really need either, but it's nice to have around. The dessert tray is so very tempting that this is the ONLY restaurant where we usually get dessert!
One time we opted to give another steak house in the area a chance (Old Stone Steak House) but we were VERY, VERY disappointed in comparison!! Small portions, outrageous prices for what you got and very awful service. But at The Woodshed I can't remember a time when I went without tea or requested items. And I agree with another reviewer; if Phyllis is there, ASK FOR HER! She's spectacular for keeping you fat and happy! LOL.
