Afternoon dental appointment brought me to the Woodyard Grill in Newberry on the way home for a late lunch... I was initially going to grab a grilled chicken salad, but I didn't see it on the menu; So, I opted for the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. I was seated promptly, and the dinner order was served pretty quickly, and everything looked awesome. The waitress was professional and cordial enough, though I forgot to get her name... The chicken tenders were cooked nicely, moist and seasoned well. While the sweet potato fries were spot on and the coleslaw was tasty. It was a very cold today and the restaurant was a little cool for an old fella trying to get warm... But it wasn't freezing. I'm just old. Overall, the food was good, as usual. The atmosphere was great, and the lighting was good, and I will definitely come back. The price was decent compared to the amount of food I got. read more

On August 13th me and my family went to eat at woodyard where I work, it was my shift off. We received poor service when the waitress messed up my cousin order, she had order wings, when they realized it wasn't a right order they had them remade she was charge for extra wings she did not receive mind you on the 11th 2 days before that my schedule was made to on 5 off 2. Because my cousin was not happy at all not only she was over charged but she also tipped the waitress $12. So my cousin made a review about their poor service. Now the next day August 14 my manager lexi asked me to ask my cousin to take it down, I did but than the retaliation started she sent a new schedule out on the 14th with me going from on 5 off 2 too off 5 on 2. It was than I asked why my hours was cut. The excuse bout me being pregnant that's a good one. But im just now about to be 5 months I have plenty of time and doctor say I can lift 50 lb so what's my pressure? I see food service not big boy work? I'm a single mother desperate need of work but retaliation is what I get. So I let this week role knowing how it's played out. I know retaliation when I see it. So finally this morning my cousin takes the review down I messaged my manager to let her know not even 30 minutes later she's letting me know im being let go. That there's no room for me excuses cause im pregnant. Excuses, excuses of course to save theirs selves these dates and time show you how it's retaliation this is very poor service to customers and employees. And if the manager seen no wrong in the receipt why would you fire the waitress who served us and hire her back the next day?? All these poor reviews all seem accurate from someone on the inside there's is roaches crawling around and it wouldn't surprise my if your eating spoiled food they tend to leave it out all night. I recommend this business too be shut down!!! read more

WOODYARD Grill has always been a favorite place for us to eat when we are visiting family in Newberry. The sliced pork and barbecue sauce is so delicious. This visit was our first time eating breakfast here. I wanted a sliced pork biscuit. It was not on the breakfast menu and I asked if they would make one for me. They did and it was the best biscuit I've ever eaten. Woodyard add this to your breakfast menu so everyone can enjoy! read more

Woodyard Grill - Sliced pork biscuit - Barbeque Near Me - Newberry, Florida

Food was great, service wasn't worth their 20% tip. Waited forever to order, got our food very quickly. Don't know who our waitress was, never was checked on, we were waiting/lookin around for 10 mins to find someone for the check. Had to get up to ask someone for the check, then was asked if we wanted more drinks. Bill was also incorrect and they charged everything separately and not the meal + additional side. Probably won't go back based off the service, but all the food/bbq was excellent read more

Decent prices and definitely better than a fast food joint. But the food wasn't anything to brag about. The sliced pork was cold, tough, and dry, and they were skimpy with the fries. But the worst thing was the cornbread. It was pathetic. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by its cornbread read more

Heard alot of good things from folks on this business. Came here years ago.it is 110% sooo much better!! The service was great and the atmosphere was nice,oldies music on radio and the food is soo much better than Sonnys!!!! Love supporting small businesses! read more

Recently had the best Woodyard Grill experience the other day for lunch. I don't know if it was due to the recent change in management or going for lunch but my service was good, wait was minimal, and food was delicious. I got the BBQ pork chop for the first time and it's my new favorite menu item- super thick tender pork. The Lima beans were shockingly good. The seasoning and the pork in them was spot on. The cole slaw and Texas toast were good too but nothing special. 4 stars for now for just overall past experiences but this was my best visit yet and for the first time I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Came in with a large party and every single order was wrong. Some stuff never brought out. Waited an hour and half for our food and it was cold. Waitress seemed overwhelmed and we were patient with her but our checks were all wrong at the end too. read more

Chicken fried steak? Fantastic! BBQ turkey plate was amazing and Mac and cheese was on point. Good service. Very cool atmosphere. Worth a visit. read more

Great rare hamburger, good sides. Waitresses respectable looking. Nice experience. Going back bringing four of my friends.

Baby back ribs are not good. They were dry, cold and overcooked. Baked beans tasted like canned beans with spicy BBQ sauce. Fries were overcooked and hard. Was not worth the $18. Sweet tea was all sugar. Waitress checked on us every couple minutes. Restaurant was clean and bright. One of the waitresses was talking loudly and carrying on immaturity with one of the customers. We will not be going back. read more

One of the few restaurants out here in newberry but it is delicious. It is no wonder it stays busy even with the pandemic. Unfortunately I have not been able to visit the inside of the restaurant but I recently ordered some take out from here and it was amazing! The pork was so tender and their sauce was saucy but not over done. They give you some big portions and all at a great price too. If you are looking to support local go ahead and shoot this restaurant to the top of your list because it is worth keeping around for the long haul! read more

Woodyard Grill - Sliced pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Newberry, Florida

A nice little restaurant, good vibes, and fine service. The food is very good, though I must say, they add far too much meat to the cheesesteak, and you must eat it with a fork. But other than that, a very solid restaurant. I recommend the onion rings, they are phenomenal. read more

We had ribs there a couple of times in July of 2022. They were the best ribs EVER. We have been back 4 times or so since and the ribs have not been even close. Not "falling off the bone" anymore. I am not sure if ownership changed but something is not the same. Food just doesn't seem to be as good and we have decided to not eat there anymore. Staff was so friendly and so inquisitive about our experience there the first 2 visits but that has changed as well. Staff is still good but not like our first 2 visits. Food is ok but in my opinion nothing like it used to be. read more

The food here was excellent. This is a lovely restaurant with a great "home cookin'" ambiance. The service is also lovely!

Always great service and food! A family favorite for these locals! Also great tv on each wall for sports fans! Go Niners!

Great bbq, great beans and great banana pudding. Authentic sweet tea. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Looking forward to returning again with more people. Two thumbs up. read more

Pros: The draft beer was cold and not flat. Our server was very nice and kept checking on us to make sure we had our drinks. Onion rings are cooked well, they're a good size and crunchy. Con: We started out ordering two Bloody Mary's. They were literally two pints of tomato juice with no vodka. $10.00 each!! Worse Bloody Mary I ever had. The food servings are very small. We ordered the 1/4 BBQ chicken. One plate came with a thigh and leg. The other plate came with some strangely carved breast. We sent that back and asked for a thigh and leg like the other plate. The chicken thighs and leg had five small bites of meat total. Smallest chicken leg I've ever seen. The baked potato was good but the green beans were cold. Our bill was $77.00 plus tip. If our waitress wasn't so nice we would've sent the entire meal and drinks back. We might try it once more and order just a sandwich. We heard those were better. read more

It was good, but it wasn't the price I paid for it good. I was on an adventure and got a craving for bbq and sweet tea. This place seemed like it would satisfy the craving. It did, but it was also $21 (before tip) for a few ribs, a little sliced pork, a lot of fries, baked beans, a piece of garlic toast, and a sweet tea. The tea alone with $3, but that's whatever it came with a souvenir cup and got refills. What bugs me the most is that the menu said the meal I was getting was $15.99 (spare ribs with another choice of meat). It was more than that turns out, but I wasn't aware until I'd already eaten. This is what sucks when you're trying out a new place and want to try a selection of things to know what's worth it. It was filling, and all but the pork stood out (good garlic toast, good beans, nice ribs, fries were excellent, and tea was good too). The service was decent enough. The waitresses were all friendly and somewhat attentive. It wasn't the busiest when I was there, so I feel like it could've been a bit better (had to actively look like I needed something to get someone's attention). They did seem to have good rapport with the usuals thiug Overall, the ribs were tasty, as were the baked beans, the garlic toast, and the fries. I could live without the pork. It was nothing to write home about, and there are better places closer to home for me. If I'm ever back in the area and starving, I'd go again, but I'm not making any special trips just to go here. Not when it costs $21 (without tip) for a meal. I mean, at that rate, it would cost a party of 4 almost $100 (before tip) if they all got something similar to my meal. I'll stick closer to home and hit up my normal bbq spots (Adam's or Pearl's). read more

Woodyard Grill - Spare ribs with pork, fries, baked beans, a piece of garlic toast, and sweet tea - Barbeque Near Me - Newberry, Florida

First of all we called our order in ahead of time, and we still ended up waiting for over a half hour after we got there. Fries were soggy, burger was bland and soggy and seriously lacked seasoning, about the only thing that was ok was the onion rings, at least those were crispy. read more

I went here with a group of friends last week with high hopes. The reviews so far on this place have been very good, so the experience we had was surprising. Very surprising. Let's get to it... I remember this place from before it was Woodyard Grill. Back then it was Newberry's Deli and Grill it was more of a breakfast and brunch kind of place, with a more rustic home-town feel. Now, it reminds me of a country barbecue place that had a head-on collision with a Hooters. I will say that the interior has been beautifully redone, as the Deli and Grill had seen better times. The wait staff taking orders and bringing out food appeared to be all-female, dressed in black booty-shorts. I had to check the sign out front a second time to be sure there wasn't an owl on it. They were all nice, don't get me wrong, but an image is set right when you walk in the door. Our first problem came right at the beginning. One of our folks had a dog, and he did the responsible thing and called ahead to find out if dogs were allowed on the patio area. The response he got on the phone was that it would not be a problem. However, once he got there, he was turned away with a no dogs policy. He had to take the dog home (about a fifteen minute trip each way). There is obviously some miscommunication on policies at the place. We were seated outside and our drink orders were taken and brought out. We even got some appetizers ordered up. I ordered water, but one member of our group ordered a Dr. Pepper that turned out to be watery. Time to inspect those mixture proportions! Our one missing person showed up again sans dog, and the appetizers arrived shortly afterwards. One of the things that did not happen with our table was that there was no silverware. When asked, they brought out cutlery for the one person that asked. We then had to ask again for the rest of us, at which point they had to go back inside the building and get more, which means that they have no wait stations for keeping things like cutlery, napkins, or other items necessary for maintaining tables except inside, despite half of their seating being outside. I had ordered some wings (hot) and the other end of the table ordered some mild. The mild wings were probably a step or two above mild, and may have generated complaints from anyone looking for truly mild wings. Meanwhile, my hot wings were anything but. They were spicier than the mild (despite claims from others) but in my book they were mild, and the addition of your standard hot sauce from the store would have brightened them up. Throw in that they were relatively scrawny and I would rate their wings as less than average. There are two issues with sitting outside here. One is that the road noise can be extreme because the clientele typically drive large pickup trucks with exhaust systems that were not meant to actually reduce noise.The second is that when they have the fires running you have a problem of ash falling down on your food and into your drinks, which is taking barbecue a bit far. After waiting for twenty minutes, our waitress came back and took our food orders. I ordered the Woodyard Burger, which is a cheeseburger with onion supposedly cooked in the meat itself and coleslaw on the burger. This can be very tasty when done right... key words there. We also had ordered an impossible burger and the ribs, among other things. My burger just didn't have any taste. I could taste the coleslaw, but that was about it. The burger meat and everything else was simply bland. The ribs tasted as if they had not been truly smoked, but instead someone had gotten into a fight with a toddler over a bottle of liquid smoke. Apparently the impossible burger was even worse. It was bland, dry, and there were extra pickles on it instead of no pickles as ordered. To their credit, this was taken off of the bill, as the person that ordered it took all of two bites. It was about this time that the karaoke started. I will give the guy running the karaoke credit in that he was good, and the first half dozen or so songs that were performed by various people were also decent. Eventually liquid courage from the bar gets people up there that should never try to hold a tune. I am not giving the rating I am giving because of the karaoke, however. That is one of those elements that some restaurants have. However, the volume level of the music was on the wrong side of what should be appropriate, so they get a hit for that. This was what eventually forced us to leave, by the by. There were some good things. The fries were very good, and an interesting shape (one that I have not seen, actually). The garlic bread was apparently also quite good. That's it. So yes, that is what I experienced. I really did have high hopes for this place, because the other reports from my fellow Yelpers have all been so good. I just... I can't give them a good rating myself. It was not good. We (my group) will not be back. read more

I honestly don't get the 5 star reviews. Pros: It's close to my house, the curly fries were good. Cons: The rest of our food was bland and cold. I got the BBQ pork and it was thin slices of cold unseasoned meat, with unseasoned sweet potato fries and "blackened" broccoli that was not blackened, not seasoned, and mushy. The wait staff (all female) walk around in tiny shorts and the owner is a older man who hugs them a lot. If it was corporate owned, this place would be an HR nightmare. Leave your daughters home. read more

Great food and drinks. Loved Latin night. DJ was great and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. Prices are reasonable. Staff very friendly.

This place is worth the drive to Newberry They have authentic and blue ribbon worthy BBQ Their staff is friendly and efficient and it's right off Newberry Rd and 27. They also have a talented cook by the name of Rob. He has experience and talent and I know he is an asset to this business. Thanks Rob for such a great lunch experience read more

Walked in to pick up a order stood there for 5 minutes no one acknowledged me 5 or 6 servers walking around serving tables. Went back to the cooks window and asked for my order then a server said can I help you.(I guess I was in the way) Pork sandwich was dry and at $16.00 For sandwich fries and a drink over priced. Not going back any time soon. read more

Woodyard is good for what it is. It's the only bbq sit down place that also you can order liquor drinks at in Newberry. It's not award winning, blow your mind, phenomenal bbq. It is however good bbq and has lots of options for sandwiches, meals, appetizers, salads, etc. They have outside seating too and pre-COVID, had karaoke Friday nights which was entertainment if nothing else to sit and watch with a group over drinks. I would say if you are hungry for some basic bbq, hit them up but if you're willing to drive to Jonesville, TopHog gets my money on better food. read more

The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and the customer service was beyond amazing. The absolutely wonderful waitress was so kind and patient with my 42 year old brother who doesn't know how to read. She politely walked him through finding what he wanted to order with no hesitation. She even went as far as giving my other brother a special cup so he could take water with him. Bless her heart. I can't wait for her comedy special to come out as her crowd work was topnotch. She alone deserves a 10 star review. read more

Woodyard Grill has a friendly staff, clean dining area and bathrooms. We had the smoked chicken, pork sandwich, ribs, turkey, fries, baked beans, potato salad, and blackened broccoli.

I have read the reviews both positive and negative, I have looked at the pictures, and I have even tasted it when a friend had it! I can now finally say I have ate at Woodyard Grill and it was amazing! I first heard of this place on facebook and it took me a while to visit. My good friend Justin host karaoke every Friday night at Woodyard Grill and I have been meaning to try it out! This past weekend I finally made it a reality and went in for some bbq. I went in on Sunday where they have slightly different hours than the rest of the week. I believe they close at 3 on Sundays. I was sat and the waitress came and took our order. I decided to get the Corn Nuggets for an appetizer and then a half rack of ribs spare ribs with 2 sides and bread. My sides were the mac and cheese and baked beans. Unfortunately they did not give me the bread, but I was okay with it, I did not need all those carbs. The corn nuggets were awesome! They had a ton of corn in each bit and were served with ranch dressing. The corn nuggets you could tell were fresh and they were hot when you bit into them. The Spare Ribs were awesome! They fell off the bone and had a ton of flavor when you bit into them. They did not even need sauce, but I did add a little because the sauce was so good. The sauce tasted like what my dad used to make at home when he made his own bbq sauce. The baked beans had a lot of flavor and you could tell their were different types of beans in the baked beans! It was great tasting! The inside of this place is really nice and they have a large bar area and some seating outside. I did decide to eat outside, but it got hot! But this was my own fault! Overall I really enjoyed my first experience to Woodyard Grill. I will for sure be back and would love to try more of this awesome menu! read more

This was such a disappointing experience. We weren't brought enough menus to our party until we asked for them. The sliced pork I ordered was dry, bland and cold. I also ordered sweet potatoes which had an okay texture but again, NOTHING tasted like it was seasoned. Some of the sides came in plates small enough to be sauce cups. The blackened broccoli that I had as a side came with only 4 broccolis, cold and unseasoned. I would understand the lack of seasoning if their sauce selection was better but they only offered 4 sauces including ketchup. They also had sangria pitchers on their drink menu only to be told that "sometimes they have it and sometimes they don't." I decided after a couple of bites that the calories weren't worth it and left the restaurant hungry. read more
