What an unexpected surprise. This place is in the absolute middle of nowhere but nonetheless…read moreprovides an excellent fine dining experience. What a find! Presuming our son ends up going to Truman, we will be back. To start, the rolls are fresh baked every day and served with local honey butter. They are amazing! Easily the best bread I have ever had. They are a cross between a yeast roll and a biscuit with a hint of sweetness...incredible! My son had the chicken piccata which, though the portion was a bit small, was extremely flavorful. He ate every bit. I had the prime rib sandwich. The portion was large with plenty of provel cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was also delicious. My wife got a giant pile of roast pork served with warm apples and a sweet glaze. The pork was fall apart tender and the glaze added a punch of flavor. All 3 of us had the home fries as the side. These were the crispiest potatoes I have ever had in my life. 10/10. Out waitress/hostess had plenty to do (I think she may have bend doing kitchen prep as well) but she was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A few tips: the restaurant is very small with few staff (like one person who is the hostess and waitress for the entire place). Reservations strongly recommend. And maybe don't come here if you're in a hurry. Service was not fast but it's clearly because they are taking great care with the food and preparing everything fresh to order. The menu changes frequently so check their Facebook for the latest. All of the food is made fresh and they do run out. Book early in the evening if there is something you have your heart set on.

We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

Train wreck-in every way. We flew into Des Moines from AZ and a friend suggested this restaurant…read more We arrived at 8pm for our 8:15pm reservation. There were two other tables in the whole restaurant so needless to say it was quiet. Our server was sweet but obviously not trained on efficient and fast service but was probably encouraged to run like a bunny when things go sideways. We ordered two glasses of wine and an old fashioned. Figured I just got off of a plane so why not get the evening going with some bourbon and have a Plan B with the glass of wine when I am ready. Two glasses of wine were delivered but no old fashioned. Who does this? Anyhow, old fashioned came out next. We ordered a cup of soup and a small salad to start with and then ordered a burger, medium, with fries and the pasta bolognese. The soup and salad came out but there was a long stretch of time before entrees came out. When they finally arrived the burger was very rare inside so my wife let the server know and she apologized and scurried off. I tried to wait but it was getting cold so I slowly nibbled. After 20 minutes, I flagged down our server and asked if the burger was coming out and she said "oh, do you want another one"? It was now 9pm and they were closing but we were not leaving until we enjoyed a medium burger. When the new burger came out, she said the "owner made it himself. We cut it in half to check the temperature it was still pink. How can an owner of a restaurant not know how to make a medium-medium well burger? And why didn't he walk out and deliver it himself and apologize? Not a word! My dish was finished and plate was gone while my wife finally had her burger. We had planned to eat together that was not going to happen tonite. She ate half and we took the rest of it to go. With wine, an old fashioned and the worst dinner experience, we spent $174 with tip. Huge mistake. Here is my tip: train your servers on how to take care of customers. To the cooks, invest in a thermometer if you can't tell when a burger is medium. To the owner, step out and make sure your customers are happy and enjoying your food.

TLDR: Woody's is like stepping back in time to 1985. The barbeque is OK…read more MENU: Odd mix of miscellaneous items. Americanized Italian food like spaghetti and fried ravioli, mixed with barbeque ribs and brisket, and Midwestern fare like the tenderloin sandwich, and a few odd balls that were popular in decades past, like blackened fish. FOOD QUALITY: Mediocre. Lots of factory-made/frozen items, and simple things you might as well make at home. MENU FAVORITES: The only thing I go for is the barbeque brisket and/or ribs. MENU FAILS: There's nothing wrong with Italian American food, I just think it's odd to have it on the side with barbeque. FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: The dive bar in the back seems like a local's place where newcomers are kept at arm's length. KITCHEN SERVICE: No complaints. One time I got the barbeque platter and an older guy with a white beard came out and watched me eat for a little while. I guess he was proud of his food and wanted to see if I liked it. COMPETITION: To my knowledge, there aren't any other restaurants offering barbeque ribs and brisket right now - hence the reason I go here. For Italian food go to Venezia instead. For American food go to Maxwell's instead. For a steak go to TK Prime instead. ATMOSPHERE: I've only ever eaten in Woody's, and not the main restaurant; the reason is because I typically dine alone, and if you show up at the front door by yourself, they will ask you to take a seat back there instead of in the dining room. Woody's is a dive bar in the back; dimly lit, sticky tables, and two televisions for every customer showing whatever the current sports game is. There's a mysterious downstairs room with a jukebox. The main restaurant seems bright and cheery, if a bit close.

I got the filet prepared blue bell style which had a blue cheese sauce, portobello mushroom, and shallot marmalade. It was cooked to perfection and super flavorful. I upgraded to garlic mashed potatoes, which were excellent. Unfortunately, our server was inattentive after placing our order. Our drinks had been empty for awhile and when we got our entrees and our server said she'd be back with refills. A food runner came by with drinks after about 10 minutes but they were for a different table, so he left. No one ever came back with refills. Eventually after we were done with our entrees for quite some time, our server finally came back to give us the check. For a nicer establishment in Quincy, I would hope to get good service.

(NOTE: This dining venue is located WITHIN the casino floor, so children are not allowed to patronize this restaurant.) Here are my thoughts below! Food: I order a "Book Burger" which is essentially the restaurant's take on a bacon cheese burger. The burger came with a side of fries. The meal was very average to subpar. The burger itself was dry and did not have much flavor. The patty was very thin and looked like it might have just been a frozen puck before it was prepared. I'd rate the meal a 4.8/10. Service: Despite the subpar food, the service here was very good. Attentive waitresses and prompt service! Ambiance: My motivation for coming to this sports bar was not for a specific game/viewing party. However, this place would be EXCELLENT for those who enjoy gambling and want to catch an Iowa/(Insert your team's) sporting event. The bar has a calendar of upcoming viewing parties they host throughout the coming weeks! Ample TVs and good vibes abound! All in all, if Draft Day stepped up their culinary abilities, this would easily break into a 5/5 sports bar.
