Another obscure spot for the win! Driving downtown I frequently pass this delightful little chicken shack. Several times I've slowed down, considered pulling in and then just kept driving to Old Orchard. Well today I (we) stopped. The owners were really nice. They warned us there would be a 15 minute wait... fine by us. I'd rather wait for FRESH food than eat food from under a heat lamp any day! Woody's sits at the end of a strip mall in an admittedly not great area of town, but it's good to step outside of your neighborhood (and comfort zone). The food is cheap! For 6.50 we got a side of mashed potatoes and gravy, 3 pieces of dark meat, a drink, and a roll. The potatoes were perfectly whipped into a delicious buttery frenzy and they were smothered with a fantastic peppery gravy. There was a lot of love in the gravy. That gravy alone makes it worth the wait. And then there's the chicken. Frickin' yum! It's crunchy and crispy and well seasoned on the outside with perfectly cooked meat on the inside. When I eat fried chicken I want to hear that "crunch" when I bite into it... and if it doesn't require a napkin to wipe the juices off your face and fingers after that first bite then it's not for me. This is the best comfort food you've never eaten! It's family owned and local. I recommend calling ahead and picking it up at their drive thru window. Bonus... you can get cash for gold right next door while you wait. read more
