    Decided to try a new place for dinner and it was well worth it. Decided on the fish and shrimp dinner with Mac and cheese and fries. The fish was huge and very flavorful. The 4 shrimp were juicy and tasted very good. The fries are like a battered type and were good. Glad they didn't taste like they were cooked with the fish. The Mac and cheese is absolutely delicious. Nice soft noodles and creamy cheese almost like a sauce. Could have just eaten this as a main course! The bar is comfy and everyone makes you feel very comfortable. Lots of staff for a smaller place. Also found it cool they have derby cash horse racing monitors and a lottery machine. Will definitely return to try many more dishes. Thank you to the staff for a fun dinner tonight.

    Nice bar great staff and excellent food. I will definitely be going back. The Reuben was great.

    This was a weirdly pleasant surprise. From the outside the establishment looks like there very well could be a missing child inside or grand dads lawn mover holster. Our friend was our waitress, she moved like an npc but was pretty solid overall. I got the Philly cheesesteak and oh boy slap my mother was it scrumptious. HIGHLY recommend it drunk or not but wow pretty good for the outside look. never judge a book by its cover

    The owners of this location have a long standing track record with two other locations. We have frequented the other two locations and they never disappoint. Same goes for this location. Newly renovated, great staff, service, food and atmosphere. I highly recommend their wings (lickers sauce) and the Ruben Potato Kegs (Appetizer). We will be back for sure.

    Great food and service. Loved the music and free water. Will go again the next time I have a ride

    Had wings and beer at the recommendation of a friend, wings had a good crunch to them and the beer was cold. Cant ask for more than that.

    The Woods House Historic Pub - fried green tomato sandwich

    We ate in the basement level, by the bar. Feels something like a colonial or British pub. Small…read moreroom, rustic. 20 table seats in the downstairs portion with room at the bar for 9 more. Stone walls. Exposed wood and burlap ceiling. - Honey whipped goat cheese: this is good. Warm piece of crispy baguette. The tomato confit side goes well with it. - The scotch eggs are fantastic. Crispy outside, nice eggs within. Excellent with a little bit of Frank's. The dijonaise with it works well, gives almost a deviled egg vibe. - The fish and chips sandwich is fantastic. Large portion: Two of us could have split it and still walked away full. Battered. This one is cooked perfectly. The sandwich sandwich roll is crippled and lovely. The tartar sauce is subtle and dead-on. This is exactly what I want from a fish sandwich. - The french fries that came with the fish and chips are nicely cooked, medium cut. Crispy potatoey and perfect. These are crowdpleasers - everyone at our table liked them. Could possibly be worth a trip in and of themselves.

    Great vibe in this place and you feel it right when you walk in - super quaint, like stepping into…read morea nice Scottish/British gastro-pub. It's a bit confusing at first - you don't enter from the "front" of the house; rather, you head around to the back, just off the small parking lot under the balcony. You enter directly into the lovely stone walled bar area that has a decent number of dining tables. There's an upstairs that looks quite different. We - far & away - preferred the downstairs. Much better ambiance. The place was already humming at 5pm! We took the last open table (we had a reservation). Our server came to the table pretty quickly to welcome us, put down menus, and let us know that their draft beer system was on the fritz (what?!) - had been since the day prior. Ack! But they had a really good brown ale in cans from nearby Hazel Grove Brewing, which we had been wanting to try anyway. We ordered our meal pretty soon after, as the place got even busier. But that's when things got a bit harrier. The wait staff got more & more overwhelmed, and the kitchen was overwhelmed, too, clearly as it took 40+ mins for our appetizer to come. But it was good. The goat cheese toast w/ yummy homemade tomato jam. The sliced French bread it was on could've been toasted more - for sure - but the flavors all played really well together. Another 40 mins later, we got our meals, which was fine - we were enjoying each others' company. But we couldn't get our waters refilled to save our lives, & it took forever to get another round of beers. People at other tables were getting restless waiting, too. Three of the 4 of us ordered fish & chips for dinner. The fish was huge - beer battered haddock. The tartar sauce - homemade- was mild and flavorful. The hand cut fries were good, but my sisters-in-law substituted with sweet potato fries - and those were *really* good. My hubs got the bangers & mash which he said "wasn't bad." The peas were fresh and good, and he really liked the mashed potatoes, but sausage was just "meh," he said. No one came to clear our table as people finished their dishes. The 1st beer glasses sat on the table, as did our appetizer dish. As a group, we ordered bread pudding to share for dessert. To my shock, the server was actually going to cram it onto our table with ALL the dirty dinner/appetizer dishes still there! I said, "No no. We need to have these taken away." We started stacking dishes for him to remove. I mean, yuck! We were trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt on some of the other stuff - he was totally crushed under an avalanche of customers - but that was a bridge too far. As for the dessert - it was a huge serving with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream & a swirl of caramel on top. I thought it was a bit like eating a good apple pie, but my fam wasn't impressed at all (they all love bread pudding). One sis-in-law said it was way too firm and just seemed like the ingredients had been buzzed up and mashed together. BUT --- it was a good night, and we'll be back. I think we would opt for a week night, instead. Hopefully, it will be a bit less busy. And definitely, we want to try the patio. It looks really quaint with all the white twinkle lights. The parking situation is a bit tough for anyone with special needs. One sis got the one (I think) handicap spot near the door (the other small handful of spots were taken); the other sis had to park up a rather steep hill (she waited while we retrieved her car for her when we were done). There's a decent amount of street parking, but I don't know what that situation is like if you come after 5p/530p.
