Right in line with "Diners and Dives"! The building and decor is nothing to write home about, but the food is good. Large portions of tender smokey meats and generous sides. Woody serves up some tasty vittles!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sue Burkhard · Jul 2021

This is a truly unique small town gem. The food is amazing. But I’ll warn you if your looking for fancy, upscale dining this is not that place. This is good old fashioned southern roadside barbecue with no frills and no fuss. You get your own drinks, bus your own table and pick up your order at the counter. Did I mention the food is amazing! Indoor and outdoor dining. CASH ONLY. Simple menu with all your favorites and so much food you will want to but may not be able to eat it all.

I ate at the Smokin’ Woody’s in Chicago and it’s the damn best bbq you’ll ever eat. Woody was supposed to come back but, he never did. I’ve had famous places like SmoQue and Smoke Daddy along with other quality establishments, but there is only one Smokin’ Woody’s.

What a great and real experience. Grab a drink, find a seat and yell what you want. Ribs dinner was good. Delicious and plentiful. Sides change. This time Beans, baked potato and Cole slaw. All were very tasty. The grilled cheese was also good for the non-meat option. Everything is made by the owner, Woody. Woody is great. Always an adventure. We came back 3 years in. Row. A MUST place for our vacation. Cash Only.

Small local business but very unique place. We are visiting Sawyer a lot but that was first time dinning here and we are happy that we did because the Tips of the ribs was amazing and the pork barbeque also. Very tasty,juicy and finger liking delicious. Thanks to the owner who put a lot of heart and effort into to his work. 👍😃👌 Support the small local business and try the food they are prepared. Btw the owner is very friendly to.
