Woody's Bar-B-Q (Oviedo, FL)



Kyle's Order: The Sloppy Woody Sandwich w/Baked Beans, Cole Slaw & Sweet Tea. (9.29)
Doop's Order: The Carolina Pork Sandwich w/ coleslaw, Mashed Potato's, and Sweet Tea ($9.29)


I forgot to take the picture when the food got there, but this is how good the food was...


Kyle's Take: I had never heard of Woody's BBQ until I passed it one day, turns out there are around 30 Woody's locations throughout Florida. The inside reminded me of Bubbalou's BBQ with all of the southern style memorabilia hanging everywhere. I ordered Woody's signature sandwich The Sloppy Woody. It's almost like a sloppy joe sandwich, but is a lot thicker and not as greasy. They pile on a mound of their shredded pork mixed with their original BBQ sauce. It was definitely sloppy, I think about 1/4 of it fell off the bun, which is a good thing. At least they don't lie to you when they say it is sloppy. The sweet tea was delicious. It was extremely sweet, but not overbearingly sweet. The to-go cups are huge by the way. They also have 4 types of BBQ sauces available. Sweet, hot & spicy, tangy mustard, and Carolina style. The hot and spicy will catch you off guard if you aren't ready, just ask Doop, it has a pretty strong kick to it. Their signature baked beans were actually a little different tan most places. It was almost like you could taste the bean, it wasn't overly sweet, which I liked. The Cole slaw wasn't too mayonaisy, but also wasn't too flavorful. Overall, for being a small chain, Woody's BBQ is pretty good.

Doop's Take: As you walk in, you are consumed with all of the memorabilia all around the restaurant. Like Kyle said, it gives off a Bubbalou's and Cracker Barrel vibe. The service was really good. Very cute and sweet girl served us. She answered any questions we had with a smile and offered us to-go cups for our teas before we left. We ended up getting the special they had. There were 5 or 6 sandwiches to choose from and you got coleslaw plus one other side item to go with the meal. I ended up getting the Carolina Pork Sandwich. The sandwich was good. A little dry, but the BBQ sauce helped soak it up. The mashed potato's were actually pretty good. I thought it was going to be your normal side where they give you a little less than what you get, but there were a lot of potato's on my plate! The coleslaw was plain. It tasted like there was mayonnaise or ranch dressing; it was like eating straight up lettuce. As Kyle explained, the sauces were pretty good. The Hot surprised me a little bit. It wasn't that hot until after a couple of seconds, then it hits you. If you are a fan of hot BBQ sauce, then the hot is for you! The best part of the meal was of course the sweet tea. Man was it good!! Probably the second best, if not the best, sweet tea we have had!!! For good service and great sweet tea, stop by Woody's BBQ, the friendly service will have you coming back for more.

Kyle's Beef: Wasn't too fond of the cole slaw. Oh and this lady across the isle burped REALLY loud, gross.
Doop's Beef: The sandwich was a little too dry and the coleslaw could have been a little bit better, that too was dry!
