I came in and ordered a brisket sandwich with a side of fries and a drink and it cost about $17 and change. Place is clean, well decorated and the staff here seems to be nice and well organized. They have a variety of items to choose from, but I don't eat pork so that limits what I get. The brisket was good and filling but I forgot to asked for it chopped. Oh well, maybe next time. Overall a great experience and it's easy to find from the road.

I ordered from Woodpile BBQ through a delivery service, so I can only comment on my food order. I…read morewanted to try both the pork and brisket, so I decided on the two meat combination. Like I said, I ordered the BBQ pork and Brisket (they allow you to specifiy the type of Brisket you want [flat, ends, etc]). The meal includes two sides...I chose the sweet mash and corn bread. I also chose sweet BBQ sauce from the given choices - also incuded. The BBQ overall is very tasty. Being my first order from Woodpile, I wanted to try it plain and I wasn't disappointed. The meat was smoky and well-seasoned. The portions were smaller than I expected,but that may vary in-person. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. The Brisket could have been a bit more tender and the portion was mostly flats and some shredded. The sweet mash had the smooth consistency and taste of sweet potato pie filling. I prefer it a bit chunkier, but it was so tasty, I really didn't mind much. The cornbread was moist and flavorful. While my order wasn't absolutely perfect, the food was tasty and satisfying.

I met up with a friend here for dinner on Opening Day, and it was such a beautiful day out, which made the experience even better. I went with the pulled pork BBQ sandwich and a side of baked beans, and wow--so delicious. Their mac & cheese has always been one of my favorites, and you really can't go wrong with their ribs either. Everything is consistently flavorful and done right. One of the things I love about Woodpile is the vibe. They've got picnic tables outside where you can relax, hang out, and enjoy the weather, plus a covered indoor area that's really cool and comfortable as well. Whether you're dining inside or out, it's just a great spot to kick back and enjoy some amazing BBQ. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

My husband and I saw a video review of this place and decided to try it. We arrived with lowered…read moreexpectations, as we had been disappointed by bbq places before. Arkin's is a small carry-out only place that sells sandwiches, dinners, and meat by the pound. The sides are à la carte; except for the dinners. Before we even get to the food, let's talk about the staff. They are some of the sweetest and friendliest people you could ever meet! Even with the place being busy, they didn't rush us to order or to get out of the door. They chatted with us and made us feel welcome - as if we'd been going there for years! And every time we return it's like talking to old friends. It's so very refreshing in the current social climate! Now the food: 'Delicious' is too weak a word to describe it! I got the chicken sandwich, which came with slaw and jalapeño pickles. The sliced chicken breast was broasted and had a nice crispy skin. The seasoning was so good I didn't even want to put sauce on it! The slaw was awesome and I didn't detect mayo, so I was able to enjoy it. I added a side of greens, which were delicious. Not everyone can make greens.... My husband got a brisket sandwich - also with slaw and jalapeño pickles included. He got a side of potato wedges, which were broasted and seasoned to perfection. I almost regretted my greens choice .. almost.... The piece of brisket my husband let me taste was awesome - and I hate brisket; but not Arkin's! We filled our bellies that day and went back the next day to buy a dinner for my dad plus some meat by the pound for us to enjoy over the snowy weekend. Funny, they didn't seem surprised to see us back so soon! LOL. My dad enjoyed his meal too, and we gave him directions to the restaurant. Our other return visits have been equally as pleasant. The quality of the staff and food never disappoint! Very happy to have our expectations exceeded in this case. Great food, great staf

Since being recently diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, it was so refreshing to see so many choices available. I tried the seasoned fries and the burnt ends both were delicious. The burnt ends had a great smoky flavor, though a little on the fatty side, but still very enjoyable. I also heard great things from my table about the Brisket Whiskey Burger topped with smoked Gouda cheese, paired with those same seasoned fries. The drinks were well-balanced, not too strong, but flavorful and enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, with a sports-bar vibe that makes it perfect for groups, hanging out with friends, or even a laid-back date night. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took my gluten allergy seriously, which I really appreciated. She made sure I understood the gluten-free options and guided me toward safe choices.

I ordered a Pitt master platter which contains pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, cheddar jalapeno sausage, ribs, two 6oz sides. This seemed like it would be a lot of food and perfect for us to sample things and find our favorites. For the price I was expecting the portion size to be slightly larger. A little disappointed there. The flavors of everything were actually quite nice. I don't appreciate breadcrumbs on my Mac and cheese!! I didn't see that it came that way or I certainly would have requested they not disrespect my side dish with that. The sauce they provided did not come on the meat but on the side. I like that it's done that way. The meat is smoked nicely and the flavors really came through with no sauce. We tried their sweet sauce and I liked it. Overall very nice dinner and I would try them again... minus the breadcrumbs
