I have to reduce several stars because: 1. They charge garbage credit card transaction fees. Any percentage they charge will get deducted from tipping and discourage us from coming again. 2. They no longer validate parking in the garage behind it since several years ago. Street parking is limited and painful sometimes. 3. They exited Resy network a few years ago - that was one of the reasons we kept coming. 4. The food is still good but the quality is declining. The "+add brisket" option which costs $10 on top of the Mac and Cheese was the driest I've had in many years. They also removed menu items like duck chicken liver mouse which were really good. read more

I really dig this place - been a handful of times, both the NA and boozy cocktails are well done. Bar staff is knowledgable with a very well equipped bar - on a recent visit my wife didn't see anything that caught her mood and they happily made something else for her. Food has always been good, from apps to mains. I don't think I've had a burger here, yet...most recently I had the fried chicken, which had been well marinated and cooked - juicy, flavorful, plentiful. Vibe is always chill, here. Now that the weather's warming up, outdoor seating is available. I usually make a reservation, but my sense is for a couple one could almost always walk in without a rez and get seated quickly. One of my favorite east-side places...if it was a little closer to me I'd be there all the time! read more

Came here for a team lunch. So yeah I got a lobster roll. The salad was good - the ingredients were good. The lobster roll was fine, except i kept biting into shell particles, so actually it wasn't fine. read more

Been a few years, but this place is still as great as I remember! I still miss the hummus calamari but everything we had was amazing! We got the burger, spicy chicken sandwich, and calamari! All was delicious! Our waitress was super nice and patient with us! And the feel is really fun! Especially in the bar where you can see their massive whiskey selection! read more

Had a work dinner here a few nights ago and had a good time. The place has all sorts of different seating whether it's at the bar or a big group. I wasn't feeling like a big entree but I put together a fun little meal out of their falafel bites and tomato soup- both were really good. I appreciated that the service folks made sure I got some extra toasted bread with my soup. A coworker got the buttermilk fried chicken and it was an impressive serving. Also loved the extensive selection of whiskey, cocktails, and non alcoholic cocktails. Non alcoholic options really allow anyone to relax with a drink. But not me I had woodinville rye whiskey because it's a local fav. OH! They sell hotdogs here and that's awesome cause it's hard to find a good hotdog place- and these hotdogs are made of freakin waygu beef. read more

05/23/2026 Came here for weekend brunch which started at 10am. We got there at 10:05am and were the first ones. More people started to arrive closer to 11am. They had an Astrology-themed cocktail menu that seemed intriguing, but we had a lot of plans that day and didn't drink. I loved their bar setup with a rolling ladder to reach the top shelf bottles. For food, I got the Woodblock Benedict with house-smoked pork belly. I asked for the hollandaise sauce on the side since I don't like when my food is drenched in it. Their hollandaise was different - it had a thinner consistency and a hint of lemon. Overall a delicious meal. My friend got the Mama's Plate with bacon and enjoyed it too. Service was good - since we were the only diners for a little while, we got all of the attention. The entire staff was very professional and polite. I would definitely dine here again and try their lunch and dinner items. read more

Taking my review down a notch. They need to have a few more choices on the menu. Every time we think about coming here, we think, no, not enough options to choose from. The cocktails are great though. read more

Came here on President's Day for lunch with two others (the restaurant was still open!, and there was plenty of free holiday street parking hehe). I ordered the grain bowl and it was pretty tasty. I think their menu wasn't as exciting to me overall (the brunch and dinner ones looked great) but the food was pretty fresh and tasty. The person waiting our table was very friendly and patient with us, given how long we took to pick drinks and food, and I appreciate that! read more

We had pre-Cirque du Soleil brunch reservations as they opened. It's a cute place right by the park. The staff was super friendly and even shared some handmade knit heart necklaces! We ordered salmon benedict, croque madame, beet salad with chicken, and two orders of the banana foster French toast. Drink service was expedient and cordial. We started with an order of the cauliflower which was very tasty. Food came out quickly. All of the dishes were excellent! Our server checked in appropriately and was very pleasant. We really enjoyed brunch at Woodblock and would recommend it. read more

Yum, yum is honestly all I can think about when I remember today's burger and salad. We stopped here on our way to Costco and I'm so glad we did. We were seated right away, which is always a great start. I was really in the mood for a burger (me being genetically anemic, my body definitely craves red meat), so both my husband and I ordered the aged burger--mine with a gluten free bun and his lettuce-wrapped. We added avocado and jalapeño, and on the side we shared the beet salad. Holy moly... everything was so good. Now I officially have a few favorite burger spots to choose from The restaurant has a super chill, stylish vibe, and I can already tell the outdoor seating in summer must be amazing. We'll definitely be back. Big thank-you to the sweet young lady who took care of us and the young gentleman who seated us and brought our water right away--great service all around! read more

We walked over from Redmond town center and got a spot easily outside at 11ish on a Saturday. Service was prompt and so was the food. The scotch egg was a fun new thing to try and quite tasty. We split it and the bfast tacos, which was plenty of food for 2. A lovely brunch day! read more

Nice stop at Woodblock this afternoon after a late morning meeting. Perfect for one that wanted breakfast and one that wanted lunch. Parking was a little work, but that's Redmond's fault! Welcomed and moved to a table right away. Better-half had their namesake burger and cup of chowder, and I had the biscuits and gravy with links, and added a couple poached eggs. Great outer crisp on the biscuits - perfectly pillowy inside, and a really nice gravy. Nice jammy eggs! The burger was fantastic and we'd order again in a minute. Chowder had good flavor, but that 'everyone makes chowder on Fridays and reheats what doesn't sell on Saturday' look to it. (I'd still definitely try it again.) As always, super clean and no 'conversation-pollution', with great natural light. Nice to have? Maybe stash a cpl printed menus, since the WiFi and menu were not cooperating for folks! Another nice-to-have? Half the wall of a TREMENDOUS whiskey offering! ! read more

Had a great experience at Woodblock. Was able to sit outside on a beautiful day. The half chicken was SO good! Lovely glass of wine. The server was attentive even though we were outside which I appreciated. read more

Great place to grab a drink. would like to see a broader menu. Minimal items, but everything tasted good.

My friends and I walked here after a wine tasting at Redmond Town Center and we had a wonderful time! It's located right across the street from a park, so while we were eating outside we could hear the live music happening there. We started off with a charcuterie board to share which I would probably pass off on next time since it wasn't really anything to write home about. For the price, I expected more variety in cheese and bread/crackers. On the other hand, the Woodblock Burger was super yummy and really well balanced. I subbed my fries for parmesan truffle fries which were sooo good. They were light and airy but also nice and crunchy. My friends and I were also obsessed with their surprisingly good garlic aioli. I'm hoping to get a drink here next time since we had to skip them this time around! read more

A very cute and cozy bar in downtown Redmond, I loved the interiors and service was great! We all liked our drinks and appreciated the cocktail recommendations. The truffle fries were just ok but I'd come back for a drink! read more

Traveling for work and we always visit for dinner! We parked by the park and walked over, across the street had a beautiful view of the cherry blossoms! Great service, our server was very attentive. I started off with a tomato soup and had the short rib gnocchi for my entree. Everyone was very satisfied with their dish! The chicken on the salad was very juicy and the burgers were delicious. Highly recommend stopping by, it seemed like a popular spot. read more

Woodblock continues to be a solid option in Redmond for brunch, happy hour and dinner. I took my parents and kids for brunch to celebrate a birthday and we were able to share a few plates. The brunch portions were decent and everything was tasty. The service was a little slow and I think it had to do with the fact that we sat outside, on the other side of the corralled area. I would avoid that spot, it feels like you are on the street. The table was a bit wobbly as well. Other than that, we had a good meal. read more

We visited on Saturday night, for dinner, with a group of four adults and two kids and it was a very nice experience. We arrived early and they had the table ready in seconds. The waitress stopped by and took drink orders. We tried Fall Harvest and Lost in Tijuana, both were very tasty. We started with a couple appetizers; The Deviled Scotch Eggs and the Charcuterie Board (added sardines and mousse). Both were well prepared and fresh. Strangely the sardines were simply in an opened tin, they might have presented them a bit better. After that we went with entrees; Caesar Salad and Tomato Soup, Pear Salad with Salmon, Steak and Blue Linguini, Brisket Gnocchi, and kids meals. All were excellent. The service was outstanding. The waitress was friendly, prompt, and professional. She kept up with clearing plates and refills like a champ. Overall, and excellent place for dinner and drinks. read more

We came for brunch on a Saturday mid morning and were seated pretty quickly. We ordered a Woodblock Tacos and a Banana Foster French Toast. The tacos were tasty and we were quite happy with the portion. The French Toast looked different than what we were expecting - the banana foster part wasn't what we anticipated. The compote was nice and the portion was alright. It was good that we got a sweet and savory to balance out the meal. I don't think. I'd be able to only eat the sweet dish for brunch as it gets to be too heavy after a few bites. The texture of the French Toast was also not what we were expecting, it was more dense and bread/cake like. read more

Ugh, no. Over priced and food was terrible. They had to comp my appetizer because it was burnt. Come on. NEVER AGAIN.

Came for brunch and loved the vibe -- warm, stylish, and welcoming. The avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, and the beet salad was beautifully balanced. I ordered a side of salmon that was forgotten at first, but the server apologized and comped it, which I appreciated. Service was a bit slow, but overall a tasty, relaxed brunch spot with good attention to customer care. read more

We headed over to Woodblock for our yearly Mother's Day Brunch! And we made the right choice..they had a variety of vegetarian options , good coffee and bright atmosphere with a view of the park. They got us seated right away and happily answered all our questions w.r.t. the menu & our limitations. They were kind enough to swap things that had egg in it with eggless. They gave me a cute bright red flower at the end wishing me a Happy Mother's Day! This place deserves so much more foot traffic & hype! I'm sure to come back with more people soon! Thank you Woodblock for making my day! read more

I just came for a cocktail at the bar, so it's a limited review. It's a light and airy space in the central shopping area of Redmond, right across from a square filled with families. They have a huge selection of whiskeys, so I chose to try a Manhattan. Solid cocktail with a Gastropub-style food and cocktail menu. The service at the bar was good, but nothing exceptional. I would go back to try a meal and another cocktail. read more

I'm in Redmond for a meeting and took the short walk to Woodblock. It was moderately busy but not loud. I opted to sit at the bar so I could marvel at the vast selection of whiskey! I chatted with the bartender and ordered an old fashioned with their own barrel pick of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof bourbon. I love the ECBF, so I was excited to try their private barrel. It was excellent. The bartender also recommended black walnut bitters, which happens to be my favorite, so I was all in. Great drink. They used a large clear ice cube for a great presentation. Highly recommend the cocktails! For dinner I tried their private barrel brisket gnocchi. The gnocchi were soft and delicious. The brisket nice and tender. I added burrata and it really made the dish. Outstanding dinner. After dinner I had another old fashioned. This time I tried Dark Arts bourbon that is finished in French oak rather than American oak. Really nice on the palate. If you are in the area and are looking for a great whiskey bar with good food, check out Woodblock! read more

This is one of our favorite spots in Redmond, and they offer happy hour seven days a week! We love heading there when the sun shines as they have a lot of outdoor seating! We seriously never had a bad meal there, although we order pretty much the same every time: - **Burrata** with pea-mint-pistachio pesto, cherry tomatoes, and grilled bread. - **Garlic Honey Chicken Wings**. I'm just going to say it, these are the best wings you'll ever experience. The epitome of crispy yet tender perfection. The combination of garlic honey glaze and chipotle buffalo deserves to be bottled. And don't forget the baby red potatoes, beautifully coated in the same delectable sauce. - **Woodblock Burger**. Incredibly juicy and flavorful, made with all-natural, 21-day dry-aged beef! - **Spicy Chicken Sandwich**. A huge buttermilk-fried chicken thigh paired with green goddess dressing and chipotle-buffalo sauce - the perfect combination. - **Please upgrade to Parmesan Truffle Fries**. You will thank me later. These are the most amazing truffle fries - you can truly taste the rich truffle oil. - Love the rotating **seasonal cocktails**! Service is quick and friendly. Nothing negative to note. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident, and Im so glad I did! The flavors were incredibly authentic and the staff treated us like royalty. A true hidden gem read more

Recently visited Woodblock for the first time after having it on my list for a while and I cannot say that it lived up to my expectations. Immediately things started on the wrong foot by the signage in the parking lot saying every business that uses that parking will validate your parking except Woodblock. We go in, don't have a reservation, didn't think we would need it, but we were sat at the "last open table" asap which was great. I don't know if it was because they weren't expecting that table to fill or what but it took a while to be greeted, get water and silverware. Woodblock also only have menus via QR code, which is a huge personal peeve for me, I don't want the very first thing people do when sitting down to socialize is to whip out our phones, plus a lot of people struggle with phone addiction so being forced to use it in a strictly social setting is a bad call for Woodblock in my opinion. The very first thing I noticed about the menu was how boring and limited it was. A small menu can be a sign of quality and discernment but when your menu is basically just bar food, burgers, salads, chicken and a few extremely predictable things like salmon some variety is really needed. Typically I avoid red meat so I enquired about the vegetarian option of the brisket and gnocchi option and was informed the dish is exactly the same sans the beef... I guess anything is vegetarian if you take out the meat but you'd expect it to be made to be a complete meal, like replacing the protein with mushroom or white beans or something. Since I didn't want a bowl of plain gnocchi in red sauce I ordered the fried chicken that comes with a cold pasta salad on the side, and arugula. First take was the chicken was enormous! Where did the find a chicken so large I will never know but the portion size was bonkers, especially considering how small the brisket and gnocchi portion was in comparison. The chicken was just ok, the honey sauce was used very sparingly and the breading was well made. The chicken itself, as huge as it was, was cooked well, nice and juicy, unfortunately it was completely unseasoned, it being so large also adds to the issue, it's a lot easier to brine smaller portions of chicken without over brining but this chicken wasn't seasoned at all and the breading was under seasoned if it was meant to carry the entire flavor. The pasta salad was like something from a grocery store deli section, very mid. Throughout there was very little service, maybe due to understaffing, it was busy. Dessert was ordered, a crème brûlée and despite two people sitting at the table we were supplied a single spoon, no sharing I guess! The crème brûlée was fine, nothing special and the berries served with it were sour. Finally we were given a polite "get lost" check sat on the still empty table text to us without us requesting the check. We hadn't been there long there was zero reason to rush us out. Frankly I don't know why this place was so busy. If you just want to get drinks and appetizers it's probably a pretty good option, aside from being understaffed, but for dinner? I would say pass. It's expensive and just not that great for a variety of reasons. read more

We were a group of 8 people and spent 500+ on food and drink but the service was really terrible. A 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill but they barely provided any service. On top of that they charged tax on gratuity which we haven't experienced anywhere in WA. The food was quite overpriced and for some items they charged more than the published menu price (falafel and chicken wings). They charged 2.5% surcharges plus tax for credit card which they didn't care to mention at the time of payment. Utterly disappointed! read more

Been to Woodblock many times in the past, but hadn't been in a couple years. Had their old fashioned and the spicy fried chicken sandwich, both were top notch.

Inside is modern and a great vibe. 5/5 stars will be back soon. read more

I ordered a veggie gnocchi take out, and it was an entree so I was hoping for a decent sized meal. The portion was ridiculously low and I had to search for the gnocchi at the bottom of a tiny box covered under some arugula. I loved the taste but was still hungry after spending $20 for a bite sized meal. read more

My sister brought me here after a long flight where all they served was a biscoff cookie and water. Needless to say I was hungry! We ordered a bunch of items (burger, Brussels sprouts, wings, and kale salad) but the Thai garlic wings were the stand out!! I wish they would use this sauce for the Brussels sprouts! The sweet and spicy sauce, crunchy skin, and piping hot wings were just perfect. We came back a few days later and ordered three orders of these wings! Service was friendly and fast and the location is beautiful. Definitely recommend! read more
