My friend and I had to drop someone off at the Charlottesville airport and found the Timberwood grill for lunch. The food was very good! I had a salad with a ginger dressing and it was extremely tasteful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My friend had fish and chips and she enjoyed it also. Will definitely eat there again when we are in Charlottesville. read more

This review is for the lunch time orders. Came here in November based purely on reviews and it did not disappoint. It was a Monday late lunch and plenty of patrons inside. Everyone got sandwiches or burgers from the regular menu, and one item from the special menu. It was a clean space with good food, don't remember anything special about the service but it wasn't unpleasant either, if we're in the area we would go again. read more

I came to this location as I had been craving the chicken wrap and original fries all day. Truly one of the meals that always satisfies my hunger. This trip however was my worst ever to date. I want to give them a better rating as I have been here many times and usually left satisfied. The waitress that served us was one of the worst I have ever had. Made the entire dinner night out awful. She gave us incorrect orders, never came to check on us, and by the time the check rolled out she wouldn't even come to take it after multiple attempts to get her attention. It was almost like she had made a conscious decision that she was done waiting on us. Prioritized other guests the entire night. I really hate giving a place a 1 star solely off the actions of one individual but most of it was egregious that it overshadowed the entire experience. I will never come to this location again. read more

Did a review 9 years ago and we still come to the smokies twice a year. Which means we come here twice a year. The food is always really good. The prices are a little steep but, like I said it's always good. My wife had the cheeseburger yesterday and my step daughter had the fish ( cod) and chips. She said it was the best she ever had. We're never disappointed. We always come here. read more

I have been coming here for a couple years now, my order is always a Durango salad with blackened salmon. It is a special treat, as I wouldn't normally pay $25 for a salad, but the blackened salmon makes it. Today we both ordered this and I clearly said BLACKENED SALMON. Our waiter, Drew, indicated that he understood. When we received our salads the salmon was NOT blackened. I asked Drew for blackening seasoning for it because they forgot to put it on. Drew decided to argue with me saying they NEVER blacken the salmon. Unfortunately he had an attitude after that and was a bit patronizing. The salad wasn't nearly as good as usual, the seasoning needs to be cooked on the salmon. Not sure I'll go there again but if I do I definitely do not want Drew as my server. read more

I appreciate Timberwood's Variety of vegetarian options! We tried a few items when we dined in: -Nachos (minus ground beef): I really loved the homemade queso dip on these nachos. They could've used some quac and salsa, but ultimately pretty solid. -General Tso's Cauliflower: my favorite of the 3 dishes, really great flavor and cooked nicely. -Patty Melt with Garden Patty + Sweet Potato Waffle Fries: in my opinion, this dish just lacked flavor. The waffle fries had a lot of potential as well but just fell short. Service was attentive and we got what we needed. This place was not bad, but was not outstanding - it did the job and was fairly priced as well. The vibes give early 2000s family-style restaurant, which is intriguing for my 90s babies out there. read more

I opted for the fish and chips and was pleasantly surprised with the size of the portion served. Whatever sauce they serve with it was delicious! The coleslaw was pretty good, too! With most of their lunch menu being $15-17, it's not the cheapest place in town to dine. With that said, we did get a wonderful server who made our experience very enjoyable. Will come back again in the future. read more

Hey guy, we're from out of town and sorry for messing up your strict regimen.

Wings are outrageously expensive. Understaffed, long waits for service. You could tell the staff didn't enjoy being there.

I always heard this grill was better than the one where Wegmans is. Not sure since I won't ever go to that other one lol. I had the Al Capone with original fries and it schmacks the taste buds really well! Toppings on the burger are grilled onions, applewood smoked bacon, gouda & truffled horseradish mayo on a brioche bun. Also, service was super quick while it was a busy night. Our server was super nice and came back around when my buddy and I were still talking and forgetting to look at the menu. I'm huge on hot sauce with my fries, and they accommodated with a bottle of Tabasco, so i was a happy camper. Bottom line: highly recommend this grill! They have always stayed consistent in the many times I have came here with my wife and friends. read more

The food was good. I loved the sweet potato waffle fries. My husband said his steak and cheese was good but could have been warmer. Service was good but a little slow for a late Friday evening.

The food here is good - family friendly. We have been coming here for two years and had the most disheartening experience on Sunday afternoon. We arrived and there were about five people just hanging out at the host stand. They saw me - didn't care to greet us right away. Continued to chat. I had two young kids with me. One woman dropped a LOUD f-bomb. They did not care whatsoever about my kids. Thanks to them, my kids asked what it means. Bad enough. We were seated. Left there for 25 minutes without anyone coming to our table even once. We simply got up and left. We won't be back which stinks because this is our neighborhood restaurant. They need to sweep that staff and start over. read more

A month later and I still crazy the cauliflower appetizer. our entire meal was great and service outstanding.

It was a rough weekend to visit c'ville- the end of the wahoo welcome, the first home football game, and the last Friday at Five. Needless to say, eating downtown was not an option. Ended up here and had the special of the night - a wonderful (though mild) curry and an amply loaded Perfect Salad. Both were terrific and foot the bill nicely for something that was not fried. Obviously a popular place even when downtown is not overrun with folks. Also cozy and it was too close to closing time to try a dessert. read more

We came with friends, who frequent Timberwood Grill and rave about it. On this instance, our food was simply average. My friend recommended the Caribbean Salmon, which we both ordered. We both agreed that it was rather dry and tasteless. This was much different than the last time they ordered the exact same Salmon entree. Perhaps, it was an off night or a new chef. My other friends ordered the Fish Tacos and the Steak Salad, which they both enjoyed. The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was packed, so it is a popular location for a Friday evening. read more

We were in town for a wedding and were looking for a place to eat one night and came across Timberwood. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was busy but we sat at the bar so we got seats right away. We were served drinks and order was taken very quickly for it being busy. There were a a good amount of TV's in the bar area and they had all the good games on. The bartender was very busy but took good care of us. I got the wings with buffalo and general tso's flavors sauces. The buffalo wings were not very warm but the gerneral tso's were which was odd but they were both very good. My buddy also got wings but boneless and with buffalo and honey BBQ. He said they were good. Overall a great experience. Would definitely go back if in the area. read more

Didn't get anything to eat. We sat down as a large party and were told we couldn't order off the regular menu and we could only order from the small limited catering menu and weren't allowed to make any kind of substitutions even though we had party members with various dietary restrictions. Good beer selection at least? But past that. They lost out on a large group for such a silly reason read more

They have NO concept of staging delivery of food. Once again, on an evening when we want to chill, the appetizers preceded the mains by a scant 5 minutes. Mains will be cold, apps can't be savoured. Have been regulars since they opened, continually mention our timing preferences. One out of four times they get it right. A shame as the food is very good. read more

I ordered the Mushroom Ravioli in Pesto Cream Sauce to go for $17.70. As soon as I picked up the bag, I wondered if they handed me an empty container. Tiny portion size for the price. The taste? Absolutely amazing. SO good! But, after a few bites, the richness gets to you and you need to break it up with another taste, but there's no veg or salad, just the ravioli. Now, to be fair, maybe it said a la cart and I didn't notice, didn't think about it, but for that price, there should be more on the plate. I think a salad or side should have been included for that price. As good as it was, I will not eat here again. A few pieces of good ravioli just doesn't justify the price. read more

Great place to grab food. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Staff is all friendly

I live nearby and have dined here many times over the past 9 years. The food is usually very reliable--tasty, served hot, and most of the time reasonably prompt. The waitstaff are usually very courteous. The exterior and dining areas seem to be kept up well. However, a recent visit for lunch for 6 of us was aborted because we received such bad attitude both with staff and the manager, because we asked for outdoor seating. For some reason that weekday was chosen to hose down the covered patio at lunch time and initially we were told we'd have to wait until the cleaning was finished. When we asked how long that would be, we were first told a few minutes, which then escalated to "maybe an hour, maybe more". We had tried to make advance reservations for outside but were told they don't take reservations. When we spoke directly to the manager (owner?), we were treated rudely, including some muttering under his breath. It became clear to us that cleaning the patio at that particular time was far more important to the restaurant than building customer rapport or even selling 6 meals with tips, so we left and took our business elsewhere. One person in our group was on a walker and no seating was even offered to her for our wait. What a lousy reward for years of customer loyalty! We won't be back. read more

Flew into Charlottesville to see friends. Needed some food before leaving to head back home. This restaurant is very close to the airport and has a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good lunch menu. We had a southwest wrap, Hercules, chicken salad, and a turkey croissant. Overall food was good, nothing spectacular but worth the stop. Would recommend if you need a place close by with a good selection. read more

Prettt solid experience at timberwood yesterday! For starters we tried their general tsos cauliflower wings and they were great! They potentially the best cauli wings I've ever had - the sauce was light and sticky, the breading was crispy but also light and not too bready and the cauliflower was slightly crunchy still and not mushy, which can be the risk with cauli wings. They were absolutely delicious. For my lunch I had the eastern shore sandwich, it's a sourdough crab melt with two types of cheeses and it was great. My friend who's a vegetarian was really impressed with the options on their menu and opted for the artichoke tacos. They were also really good. The food was actually much tastier than I expected and I was really impressed. The only downside of our visit was the service was quite slow. The food totally made up for it though. I'd definitely go back! read more

My daughter and I had a great meal there. We each had steaks that were very nice: juicy, flavorful, and well presented. Our server was attentive without being overly aggressive. The place was much larger than we anticipated. We almost passed on it because of how many cars were in the parking lot thinking we would be waiting forever for a table but it was like the TARDIS, larger on the inside. We were seated and waited on immediately. read more

Had made a reservation for a party of 20 the week before and they had us all seated in a large private room in the back on a Monday evening. Pros- great that we were in a private room Most of the food we ordered was delicious- fish tacos were very good, side salad with ranch, and the curry corn chowder-so yummy! Would go back just for that. The steak au poivre had a great sauce and yummy mashed potatoes but the steak was a little tough and more mushrooms would have been great. Cons-For a group of 20 that they had known about coming for over a week, we only had one server. Usually when I have a group this large there are two servers or at least a server and a helper. Took forever to get drinks and then drink refills as well as the food arrived in shifts. Also their chips and queso not so good. I love chips and queso and like to try it wherever I go, but would not order it here again. read more

Had the Gyro. It was great. The service was great and the grill had the ambience of a local bar

Well another fail. Won't go here again. Let's see. Beer was cold. Wife liked that. That's it. Wait, Fries cold too. How do you serve cold hand cut fries? Had to send those back. I had a modified Philly cheesesteak that was supposed to be a grilled chicken cheesesteak. Bwaaaa. See the picture. It sucked and was on the same plate of cold fries. Disappointed and won't go there again unless for a beer. What was truly sad is the waitress couldn't even see the crap served but served it anyhow. Covid is over. Up your game. Fail fail fail. read more

My wife and I just got into town, and we found this place close to our hotel. We called ahead to see if there was a wait, but all was good. When we arrived, the staff seated us promptly. Our server Molly was awesome, took our beverage orders, gave me a Stella alternative that was outstanding. I ordered the Flank Steak Au Poivre and my wife ordered the same but with grilled chicken as an option. The food and the service were exceptional. We would stop next time through town. read more

My review of Timberwood restaurant was 4 years old!! It continues to be great-we love all the different types of burgers, and the salads, especially the steak salad! The crispy chicken finger salad(gotta get the honey mustard dressing!) is a classic choice!! It is perfect on every level! The crab dip appetizer is creamy and delicious! We can't go here and not get it! They also have a full bar and lots of different types of draft beers on tap-something for everyone for sure!! This is a family business-not a chain restaurant! So please give them a try! We have never been dissatisfied here!!! read more

A great quick easy option. We often get pickup and eat at home. The restaurant and bar specifically can get very busy around dinner time but service is always quick. They have lots of great salad options read more

First time here and it was good honestly. Not incredible, but I love that they're adding vegan options to their menu and trying to cater to the vegan community. My server was really nice and willing to talk to the kitchen to verify and confirm the new vegan options that aren't listed on the menu yet. I ended up with an avocado veggie wrap and fries. The veggies could use less oil and more seasoning but overall good! I live on the other side of Charlottesville and it wasn't so amazing that I'd rush back with the 20 minute drive but if I'm in the are, it's a good option. My mom got fish and chips and ordered what the menu called hand cut fries, but they didn't seem fresh at all. The fish, on the other hand was huge, crispy, and looked great. Service was nice but slow. read more

This one is a strong pass! Normally we have found Yelp to be a lot more reliable on reviews, which wasn't the case this time. I recognize that the pandemic has taken a toll on businesses, so I try and allow some latitude when it comes to ratings. What is really strange for me is that this location is rated so much higher than the Merchant's Walk location in South Charlottesville, near where my kids used to live, and where we always seem to get a great meal. My wife ordered the classic burger and fries, which tasted like a frozen patty. I ordered the pastrami reuben, with onion rings. The fries and onion rings were soggy, like fishing solids out of a pool of grease. Overall we were disappointed, given our past positive experiences with the Merchant's Walk location. We'll definitely drive the extra distance to get a better meal. read more

Timberwood is our go to spot. We live close, the food is always good, and they always have a draft beer that we like. Every now and then, they get something special in. Tonight's treat, fitting for Halloween, was KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge. Brewed by Founders, it's KBS plus Mackinac Fudge and maple syrup aged in oak bourbon barrels. My dinner selection was the Perfect Chicken Tender salad with honey mustard. They increased the prices since reopening, about $1.00 per dish. I get it, just hope they can survive the pandemic. We were supporters doing takeout through April and then again as soon as outdoor dining resumed. read more

First time I really came there (as someone living close) was during a snowstorm. It was wild that they were open, but I was thankful, because I had trudged a couple miles in the snow to get a couple things from Wegmans, and didn't want to trudge back without some solid food, and a pleasant buzz. They treated me well in times of 3ft-snow craziness, but they also treat me well when it's just a Thursday night. I've appreciated having these guys down the street. If I need to get out of the house and have some good food and good company, this is where I go. Sogood read more

Timberwood is the place we can always agree on. It has everything we need in a bar/restaurant. 1) Outdoor area so we can take the dog. 2) Great new happy hour specials **Played beer roulette yet?** 3) Good selection of sandwiches and specials 4) Nice salads when we feel the need to be "healthy" This time we came in for happy hour. $3 Bask DIPA is a great deal. We were meeting friends for dinner elsewhere, but this was a nice place for a drink after work. Thursday is my favorite HH day because of the nachos. If you haven't had the Timberwood Nachos, you are missing out. That is typically our #1 recommendation for first time visitors. It is a large portion of everything that makes nachos great. Beef, lettuce, black beans, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, etc. You name it, it's on these nachos. Typically the wife and I split nachos and a Crispy Chicken Tender Salad. Even with a split portion it still very filling. Side note: They offer a beer advent calendar every year. Great way to try some different beers throughout the holiday season. They pick and package the beers to make it a fun tradition. I'm sure we will be back at some point this week! read more
