"I don't have a drinking problem 'Cept when I can't get a drink." Tom Waits Getting that drink is a lot easier now that JD's On Main has opened in Downtown Woodstock. Taking over where Jekyll Brewing left off, JD's latest addition is an upscale restaurant, bar and nightclub that definitely adds to the downtown experience. JD's On Main has two floors, the bottom floor restaurant is decorated with a classy, yet casual, feel, with a great bar, while the upstairs is where you'll find the dance floor and an additional bar. Yes. I said dance floor. Open until 2am on weekebds, JD's on Main is definitely the place to be if your party plans go past midnight when the rest of Downtown Woodstock rolls up the sidewalks. They have a great cocktail menu, and the bar seems well stocked to deliver classic and craft drinks. Prices run around $10-$15 for most, beers around $7. Food wise, JD's On Main has a creative menu that includes barbecue, American Southern , traditional and revamped bar appetizers and food, and some elevated entrees. Service at the bar was excellent. Overall great experience and great addition to DTW! Cheers! read more

Food is just ok. The "new" charbroiled burger is lackluster and overcooked. Asked for medium and it was every bit of well done. The BBQ Brussels tasted like steamed in bag Brussels that then has a coating of BBQ sauce on them. Cocktails were very boring and the beer list makes you want to drop by Reformation on the way. read more

Watch your receipt alert! Can't recommend this place at all. My wife and I came and ordered two sandwiches with fries. Both sandwiches came out and they were basically sandwiches on two small, store bought ciabatta bun...for $17-$19 a piece. So needless to say, the price for portion is not great. Taste wise, the grouper was ok at best, the chicken was entirely over-salted, and the fries weren't anything special. But here's where I definitely won't be back, the menu prices are deceptive, as the prices shown are if you pay cash, and you wouldn't know that unless you read the small print at the bottom of the menu. On top of that, the waitress said that the sandwiches came with a side, but lo and behold come bill time, there was like an extra $2-3 each in charges for both fries. So all that to say, the place is entirely too expensive for what it is and prices and charges are potentially deceptive and we won't be back again. read more

JD's on Main has a fantastic location right in downtown Woodstock, and the space itself is modern and well done. It's a place you want to like...but unfortunately, our experience didn't match the setting. We started with the Fire Cracker Shrimp. The batter was very heavy, so much so that the couple next to us asked if we had ordered chicken wings. It was more breading than shrimp, and not in a good way. On top of that, the appetizer came out just 1-2 minutes before our entrées, which made the timing feel rushed. Our entrées also came out very quickly after ordering. We were told the BBQ is prepared at their Town Lake location, which likely explains the fast service, but it may also explain why the food didn't feel as fresh as expected. I ordered the Burnt Ends with macaroni and green beans. The burnt ends were dry and lacked flavor, and the green beans were also dry and bland, almost like they had been frozen and reheated. My wife ordered the baby back ribs and had a similar experience, dry and not very enjoyable. Service timing aside, the biggest issue was the food quality. With such a great location and atmosphere, we expected much better. As a downtown Woodstock resident, I was really hoping this would become a regular spot, but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Beautiful space. Service is always great. Great location. Need to go to their line dancing nights. Food is fine but I wish they would include their JDs BBQ menu. I think it would improve the experience. Shrimp appetizer is good. French dip is just sufficient. Salads need to be on largee plate. I don't want salad falling off the plate the entire time. Ice tea excellent. Cocktail specials excellent. read more

Had been once previously, just for a drink in the upstairs area awesome some music was happening. That experience was pretty good. I went with my family in the middle of the day on Super Bowl Sunday. We were seated quickly and our server was nice. However, when she wasn't at her table, she looked very frustrated and we soon learned why that might be the case. We ordered fried green tomato appetizer, which was OK. Nothing special but not bad. And then we got our meals a very long, long time later. I had their Philly steak, which was overcooked. I got a side of brussels sprouts with it. The flavor was good, but they were also overcooked very mushy. My wife also got a sandwich smoked shrimp or chicken salad. I honestly forget she said it was OK and she got a side of green beans which tasted like they had been bathed and salt for a very long time. They weren't edible. My daughter got a cheeseburger and she'll eat pretty much anything so I asked her to tell me out of the last 50 burgers she ever had. How did it compare and she said it was number 45, arbitrary, I know, but a solid indicator that it wasn't anything special. The service was far too slow, and the price is far too expensive for uninteresting food looks like a nice place. Hopefully they can turn it around, but we are not likely to go back. read more

First thing you see when you walk in is the bartender glued to his phone. Literally does not look up. Mr mustacheo. The server literally had to go up to interrupt him from his phone time to make drinks. So management you might want to do a no phone policy especially being this guy is the first thing you see. read more

This is my first time here I'm with my son and his wife and my grandchildren and we had this tasty appetizer that was fried shrimp with this great tasting sauce! It is totally delicious. The atmosphere is fabulous.!!! And I wanna come back again and I'm getting ready to try their espresso martini drink read more

Food was less than skimpy, avocado toast was on an untoasted bun they use for every sandwich. One piece had 3 tiny slices of avocado, the others a spread so thin it was easily less than a teaspoon. And no protein does not mean nothing of everything else. Waffle? That's it? Seriously? No garnish and that's what you boast for $10? Aretha Frankenstein if alive is rolling in her grave. Service was great, attentive. Here's an idea: let us a have a choice of tipping the server and kitchen separately so you know the problem.. oh, whipped ricotta? Nice try read more

When you walk in, the atmosphere is jumping. Lighting is perfect. We started out at the bar waiting for our table with an espresso martini. It was perfectly made and possibly one of the best I've had in a while. When seated, we were by the huge windows and could see the nightlife of downtown Woodstock. Appetizers were fried green tomatoes stacked with pimento cheese in between topped with bacon jam. Also ordered the steamed shrimp. Both were amazing! Dinner was the Blackened Grouper and JD's Famous baby back ribs. Fish was cooked just right and the ribs were falling off the bone. This place is a must to visit. read more

Went here with family for birthday celebrations and everything was great! Our server Danielle was SO sweet, attentive, had great suggestions, and gave the best service I've experienced in a long time! The food was delicious as well! We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and they were devoured instantly, I can't wait to go back and get more. We had prime rib cheesesteak, brisket burnt ends, stuffed chicken thighs, fgt sandwich and grouper sandwich. No complaints on the food it was all amazing! My only tiny complaint was that the vanilla bean espresso martini (delicious!) tasted like a regular espresso martini, there wasn't any vanilla bean flavor to it, but it was still yummy! We will definitely be back! read more

Went Tuesday between lunch and dinner so not busy, but the wait staff was super cool and had my daughter and I had fun bantering with them. Food was good and they have some unique items for a nice variety. The firecracker shrimp appetizer was delicious read more

Food was skimpy for the price. Poke bowl was a small side salad bowl with a few tablespoons of rice and three lettuce leaves, 2 slices of cucumber chopped up and some edamame. The tuna was decent but also maybe half a cup of chunks. Really disappointing for the price. read more

We love JD's quality food and service! Our entire family went party of 11 and it was delicious everyone ate everything on their plate! Restaurant is clean with a fun atmosphere. The smoked prime rib and shrimp appetizer is our favorite. read more

Went with a group to celebrate a birthday at JDs on Main. No one in our party had dined here and we were all looking forward to the experience. When we arrived, Sunday brunch was being served and there was a 45 minute wait for our group. That seemed promising since it was crowded, so it must be good, right? It seemed to start off well, the server was nice and took our drink orders and went to get kid menus. She came back and took the kids orders first so they wouldn't have to wait as long (no one wants crying hungry kids at a restaurant) and then the adults ordered. Then the very long wait ensued. The meals finally started coming out 2 at a time, but definitely not the chicken fingers and fries for the kids order... Then we would wait. 2 more orders came out, still no kids food. Then we waited. One order. Wait. Finally the kids order came out and the last adult meal, which was for the birthday guy, he ordered the chicken salad sandwich...chicken salad...which you know had to probably already been made...how on earth was that the last thing? By this time the first 2 in our group had cold food, which one person ordered a brunch item and said they were pretty sure the eggs and gravy were already cold because it looked congealed when the server set it down. Now, on to the other food. The hamburgers were small and were really awful. They tasted like preformed patties that had been pan fried, all dense, overcooked and flavorless. I've gotten way better burgers at Five Guys or even Wendy's. I took mine off the bun and added to my salad and covered it with salad dressing just so I could choke it down. Another person in our group said the only way he could eat his burger was to dip it in his ranch dressing. Another person in our group got a salad with chicken and said the chicken was overcooked and rubbery. On a positive note the salads were good and another in our group said her prime rib sliders were good. The service was sooo slow but the server was nice. Overall, not a good experience at all. Of all the adults in our group, no one said they would want to return. read more

We love this place!! I think it's exactly the addition down town Woodstock needed. Such a fun environment on the weekends, and calm and enjoyable during the week. Service is impeccable and you can tell the staff is treated well! We enjoy the buffalo fried cauliflower and the prime rib Philly so much! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new place to try out. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere are just what DTW needed. Go check them out. Thursday is line dancing and a band Friday has an awesome DJ Saturday the music varies Cocktails and food are both worth checking out! read more

The entire experience was horrible. The service was terrible, the food was not good and the portions were small. I have had bigger, better burgers at Wendy's! Even the one thing that was barbecue (burnt ends) was dry and tasteless. read more

Our server was lovely and wonderful. We received excellent care and will be back again soon.

Poor service, poor food, LONG WAITS to order drinks- chicken thighs were dry- how do you dry out a chicken thigh???? Very loud - very difficult to have a conversation with people at your table. read more

They wouldn't let us out the back door even though we parked back there. And the feels like rn is 1 degree. How rude.

We went with friends and enjoyed our meals. It is overpriced for the area and the cover charges seem ridiculous. Hopefully that will be corrected so our big group can continue to go there. read more

Service and good were both amazing! From the moment you walk in friendly fun atmosphere - the burgers and chicken are so good!

Food was mediocre for the price. We sat upstairs cause it was very noisy below. Atmosphere upstairs was nonexistent. Basically a dance floor with stage and a couple of tables. They did not have draft beer available yet. Not sure I would go back for food. Maybe drinks. read more

Had looked forward to having dinner at JDs on Main but left very disappointed. Maybe Thursday night is not night to go as was busy. Found the food really below bar food grade. Had wedge salad with grouper..grouper (really think it was talapia and was well overcooked. Asked to see manager and was told h was too busy. Would not go there if out for dinner....may just be a line dancing place. read more

We went in on Saturday night as a group of 13 good paying customers for the first time. All was up stairs our wife's was hot so they went to the front of the building where the windows was open to get some fresh air and cool off. Within they was approached by the tall security guy accusing they of spitting on the people below. They was not. Then the security officer came in the back by the big round table we reserved and just stood there staring at us. Then walked by me and brushed my shoulder and said oh sorry. I said no worries just don't be spitting on my wife. He immediately turned around and said why are you disrespecting me. I said well you disrespected my wife and all her friends for spitting. He got mad and said yall are out of here. The nice waitress followed us out to get paid for the bill and she was in tears apologizing for him and how he acted. Needless to say it was our first and last in one night. That security guy must have failed the police application and has a authority issue.. the owner knew about it and was supposed to call and talk it over but still waiting on that call!! read more
