" I went for the first time last week and was completely blown away! The pulled pork was moist and flavorful, and the portion size was very generous. The ambiance was casual and welcoming, great for families. The only downside was the wait for our food, which was a bit longer than I would have liked. That said, I would highly recommend trying the BBQ ribs - they were amazing. Definitely going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I visited Wood’s Pit BBQ, I was not only surprised by how good the food was, but also the variety they offered! The ribs were tasty, albeit a bit overcooked. My partner enjoyed their burrito but noted it was bland. The drinks were well-made. I will probably give it another shot, as I can see why this place has a following. When they get it right, they get it really right! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical because of mixed reviews, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The staff were so welcoming, and the flavors in my dish were vibrant and fresh. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were stuffed full of cheese and meat, though I wish they had accompanied it with more salsa. However, the BBQ platter my partner got was superb, with succulent pulled pork and smoky ribs. I would recommend giving this place a shot based on this experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Woods Pit BBQ is a nice find for BBQ lovers. I particularly enjoyed the smoky flavor of the pulled pork and the sides were good too! The ambiance was relaxed—great for family gatherings. However, the service could have been a bit faster. We faced a longer wait than expected, but the food made up for it. I thought the portion sizes were fair relative to the price. All in all, I left satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried this place after hearing a lot of buzz! It's a cool spot with a casual vibe. My only complaint was that the portions of some sides were a bit small for the price. However, the ribs were fantastic, and the BBQ sauce is some of the best I've tasted—so rich and flavorful! My partner enjoyed their Mexican dishes too though we thought they could improve them a bit. Overall, worth the visit for the BBQ alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. The BBQ was fantastic—smoky, tender, and well-seasoned—but the service left something to be desired. We waited a long time to be seated and then even longer for our food to arrive. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was great, but my friend’s ribs were tough. The restaurant’s decor is nice, with a friendly environment, but they need to work on their service speed to really elevate the experience. Would likely come back based on the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wood's has become a staple for my family and me. The menu offers a great variety, and the flavors have always impressed. I particularly recommend the battered fries—they are to die for! The service has been consistently friendly, although it can be a bit slow during peak hours. Still, a very good place to dine in with loved ones. I highly recommend their happy hour specials!
