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.

I wasn't asked how well I wanted my burger cooked but it was still good. The music and interior is darkish but there is outdoor seating options.

A couple of women sat at the end of our table with paper plates (thinking they moved from outside)and the staff didn't let them know to move and served them there.

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.
