John Gilchrist reviews Woody's BarBQ on Deer Ridge Dr SE. Find out why he gives it a 7 out of 10
Unfortunately this is not the best place to sink your teeth into southern BBQ flavours. We arrived on a Friday night and were seated quickly but unfortunately the service declined from there. Our appetizers were forgotten at first so they ended up "on the house". I had the catfish and my wife had the pulled pork. Without saying too much... more
We have been here a few times and the do a pretty good job. Unfortunately, our last experience was terrible. I ordered for take out, they lost the order and I ended up waiting over an hour for our order. The manager and waitress were not to blame and they ended up comping our whole meal. We were not the... more
Ok I was slightly excited for this place because I live in the area and wanted somewhere I could go with my fiancé and 18 month old daughter for a nice meal. The first time we went the service was pretty poor but I enjoyed the food for the most part, the pulled pork poutine was delicious!!! But the prices for kids meals were ridiculous.The mash potato was absolutely awful!!! The corn on the cob... more
The BEST wing I ever had!! Smoked and all you can eat on Mondays! Only one server tonight so it's slow getting service but totally worth the wait! This is now my wing spot! Also try the pulled pork poutine. It's awesome!
Got a awesome combo last night,pulled pork poutine and corn nuggets and awesome onion rings :) Awesome again:) Very Happy and better than last time :)
Service was okay. A bit slow. I was served spoiled sour cream with my potato. It smelled and tasted like sweaty feet! Mac and cheese was made with processed cheese. Ribs were decent. Nothing was taken off our bill for the trouble. Low budget place with low quality food. Would not go back.
Great for families! The portions are great and I actually enjoy the food. Ribs are my favorite with mac and cheese. Everyone should check it out at least once!
Arrived on a Saturday night and Woody's was about half full. We were greeted immediately and offered a booth to sit in. Our server was helpful and knowledgable, advising us about the slight pink on BBQ chicken, cooked, but smoked so looks different than traditional chicken, and advising us that there were red onions on the nacho chips when we... more
I just wanted to say that we have been to woody's the last 2 Thursdays. The service was great. The food was awesome and the dJ for karaoke was awesome. He is very friendly with everyone especially the kids. My husband and I are frequent karaoke people and our 8 year old son could never understand why he could not go with us. They are always at a bar and finally there is a karaoke he can go too... more
Great place! And karaoke on a Thursday! Had a great evening, I had ribs and they were fantastic! Portion was massive! It was busy, service was great and kid friendly. My only critique is the sides, I didn't really like those but couldn't really have eaten them anyway as the portion of ribs was so big, and I only had... more
Woodys was great. The food was really good. As was the service. Our waitress was fast and very friendly. We went on Thursday karreoke night, it was a ton of fun for the kids, the dj was awsome with all the kids!
Today two of us went to Woody's for lunch. We had the entire place to ourselves at 12:15. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered off the lunch menu. I had 1/4 chicken with a side salad. My friend had the ribs. The potions were so small and the chicken had been obviously precooked and was dried out. I told the waitress and she asked if I'd like something else. I said no but... more
We have been to the Deer Run Woody's two times since it opened for breakfast and will not go back for breakfast. The wait staff is great and friendly although the manager creates problems. Instead of keeping the wait staff talking at the till or in the kitchen, he should let them look after the customers' needs. Let them take orders, refill coffee, deliver food, etc. He was always with the... more
Being from Texas I was anxious to try their "Texas" style brisket. Wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The brisket was tender and had a good flavor even though it was sliced a little thin and a bit on the dry side, but I would order it again. The deep fried corn was a good side item. Beans were good... more
Went for breakfast, service was great! Food was plain and over priced!
My husband and I decided to venture into this place as we were in the neighborhood. The fact that the place was empty during diner time should have been an indication of what we were getting into.
There was only one table occupied. We were told to pick any table.
We sat down and someone came to ask about our...

I am in no way affiliated with Woody's, but I just wanted to point out that the restaurant isn't the one who puts the labels here on UrbanSpoon. It is users and/or admins that can add "Gluten free friendly/Vegetarian friendly/etc." to the categories on this site, so the restaurant cannot be blamed for not being gluten free friendly just because it says it here... (their personal website makes... more
Our server was attentive, the food was very tasty and LARGE portions. there aren't any really good bbq places in Calgary. this place is great! I love the nachos and wings.
Me and my son had "date night" last friday night there and I don't remember my servers name but she was the only female there. We had a great meal and shared ribs and the sausage... it was to die for! The sausage was the best part!! we also shared a desert and since we mentioned that it was date night to our server..... she put sprinkles on our desert! Such a cute touch....! Loved the food and... more
I was starving and Urbanspoon brought me here. Great food, reasonable prices and good service. we'll be back soon.
I don't know what the previous person was complaining about with it not being gluten friendly. Our waitress didn't know much about what was gluten free, but I presume that's because she had never been asked. She was incredibly gracious about going back and asking about everything I inquired about, and went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable with what I was ordering. People with... more
I went there with my girlfriend last night and we got a pitcher of beer a huge plate of nachos (with pulled pork on them) and a 4pc entree to share for $50! The food was SO GOOD and the portions were HUGE. I basically ate myself into a food coma... woke up... and realized I still had an entire meal left over from what I packed up. I think I'm in love. If you're a food lover this is the place... more

I have been there during daytime on thursday. I was disappointed. I gave them a second chance, I enjoyed the the food and was treated good. I a happy I tried it again and I would recommend a second chance!!
A great southern taste! We were most impressed with just how good the food was, comparable to Famous Dave's in the States. If you are looking for a good meal close to home, this is where you will find it. They do take out too which is always convenient. Delicious food, plenty for what you pay for. Just a thought, if you require specialized items, I would suggest you call first instead of... more

I went in with low expectations and still left unhappy.
