Bartender was friendly and chatted with us for a quick minute as he served a large crowd. The burgers that went by as we stood there looked scrumptious and huge. I would venture to say the food must be good based on the looks of it and the size of the dining crowd. When we sat outside with the gorgeous view from the upper deck people below were getting pizzas that also looked delicious and I'd say about 18" with fresh looking ingredients. I cannot attest to flavor but the smells were awesome. Next time we will stop later and grab a bite for dinner.

We were seated immediately which was awesome seeing as it was 4th of July weekend. We ordered the spinach and shrimp dip for an appetizer and we ate that up immediately. My boyfriend got a bacon cheeseburger which he thought was really good and cooked perfectly (medium rare fyi). I chose the drunken chicken which was huge and the chipotle mayo was a nice addition! Overall very good and filling. Slickers is always a good time with friendly customers and staff. I've never had a bad experience here!

Upon arrival the place was pretty busy but we saw two open booths to our left. Due to being a…read morefamily of 5, they told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait for a table, outside and inside options were full. We didn't realize they were attempting to close the section to the left. We waited about 25 mins. Some other families arrived with 4 and were seated immediately. We were finally seated. 10 minutes after we were seated I went back to the hostess and asked who are server is since we still didn't have drink orders. It was the server that was serving the table next to us. She never said, "oh I'll be right with you", even after she went to that table 5 times. They kept asking for drinks and crackers and more items. After I approached the hostess I saw them flag her down and ask her to serve us, not sure if she was supposed to go home, on break or what the breakdown with service happened to be. After the hostess flags her down she comes up to our table and asks for drinks, no apology for the wait or having to flag her down to get service. I said we have been here for 10 minutes, we are ready to place our full order. We order everything. It takes 11 minutes to bring 5 waters, 2 sodas, and 2 bottles of beer. This is after the place has now cleared and is quiet inside. 85% of the tables and bar are empty. 28 minutes later our food arrives. She never came back to ask for refills. She had two tables at this point, ours and a family of 4 behind us. After the food was delivered and we were eating I glanced over to the bar to see the manager, hostess, bar tender all eating chips and dip at the bar due to it all slowing down. The server came right over to ask if everything was ok and began leaving before we could answer. We would like more drinks. Buser never cleared our table. I had to put dirty dishes on the table being cleared next to us. Service was negative stars. I have two stars because the food was really good, the environment was ok. Some cobwebs in corners and the building is a little shabby, but it goes with the vibe. I would rather have stellar service and ok food than great food and not great service.

I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, I never eat wings, hoping that it would have a really strong flavor. Boy was I wrong. There was no flavor whatsoever however, they were cooked perfectly though. I also got a local hard cider and it was amazing. We had to sit at the bar outside because I had my dog with me and there was nowhere else to sit. Service was average nothing amazing. I probably won't try it again.

At $7.50, they were dry as dirt,because they didn't have any garlic sauce, or salt, and every puerto rican knows that plantains come with sauce and plenty of it. Waste of money. My husband ordered the sausage and peppers, which consisted of 1 sausage cut in half,on a hamburger bun and a few pieces of peppers. Fries were average, $14.50. I had the chicken quesadilla, $17.50. Ordered 1 margarita and double Jim Bean for hubby, I believe they were $15.00 each because the entire bill was a bit over $72.00, and being the person that I am, I left a $10 tip, not knowing what the food looked like until we got back to our campsite. Needless to say, much of it got tossed. If I could give it a negative star. review, I would. WASTE OF MONEY

In a word - DISAPPOINTMENT! My wife and I were in Inlet last week and we saw that The Woods…read moreInn/Laughing Loon sign boasted the "Best Pizza" so we thought we'd give it a try. We entered and went up the stairs to the host station where we encountered a less than hospitable host who we later found out was the owner. He asked if we had a reservation and we indicated that we did not. He scowled and looked down at his reservation book before warning us in a disapproving tone that normally reservations are required (something not on their sign or website), but he did have a table available. He pointed us to a QR code for the menu and seated us. We looked over the menu and noticed that the pizza was listed under the "Tavern Only" section. When he returned with some bread I questioned if we were in the right place to order pizza and he informed us that we were in the fine dining restaurant and that pizza was only served downstairs in the tavern. I should add that the existence of the tavern was less than obvious and there was no indication that there were two places to dine. When we went downstairs the tavern was largely empty and was only staffed by a single bartender who took ou order for pizza and wings. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and an order of wings (10). There were a couple of other tables and the kitchen was upstairs so the poor bartender who was all alone had to tend to the three tables and go upstairs to get the orders and bring them down resulting in very slow service (not her fault). All this would be worth it if the pizza was as good as they claimed, but I can't imagine a town anywhere where this would be the "best pizza around". The pizza was on a tasteless premade crust, the sauce had no seasoning, and there were only about 10 pieces of pepperoni. The wings were grilled and tasted fairly good, but the skin was rubbery. I can summarize the long review by saying that it's clear the owner doesn't really seem to care, the prices are high, and the food isn't very good.

All the ingredients tasted fresh, and there was a ton of gravy. Next, we ordered the steak tacos and the fish tacos. Unfortunately our tacos fell apart half way through. We ate them with a fork and they were just as good. The fish had a great batter, and the steak was tender. This came with corn and bean salsa. My only complain is, the restaurant and bar were almost empty so we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was not attentive. We were finished for almost 15 minutes before he checked on us. We were ready to go and had to wait awhile. This happened when we were here the last time, too. If he service was as good as the food, I would give it a 5:5.
