  Love this place. Own brewed beer, whiskey and vodka! Great selection of drinks and plenty of tasty food as well. Had some fried brussel sprouts instead of fries which were great if you don't mind the flavor. Forgot to leave the tip after getting some change so popped it through the door for Emily a couple of days later🤭

  I usually love this place. We order online through grub hub and tried to take advantage of one of their deals. Wings pizza and bread sticks. We also ordered a pretzel and beer cheese. In the end the restaurant had run completely out of dough. So no pizza and no breadsticks. No communication from the restaurant or grub hub on the inability to provide these items so when our order arrived we were very disappointed. Not only was over half the order missing but their quality has simply gone down. The wings tasted old. (I know the y smoke and store them, then reheat for service) but these were so dry that they must have been smoked several days ago. Not to mention how a restaurant in prime location in a college town can run out on a primary ingredient on the friday before the super bowl. The pretzel was supposed to be our saving grace but half of it was so hard it was inedible. So to restate our order was half missing and the other half was poorly executed and delivered. GET IT TOGETHER BIG WOODS. monitor your online ordering and learn to pay attention to local activities and order product accordingly.

  Food is great but had a very bad experience today. As I get the check the waiter was glaring at the screen and my face when the tipping and signature popped up. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a waiter to put me in that scenario. I’m all for tips but feeling like I have to tip a certain amount makes me wanna never come back.

  My husband and I really enjoyed our experience at Big Woods. The food and drinks were delicious and the environment was busy as expected. We had their pizza and brussel sprouts which were both excellent. Their drinks were made to order and fairly priced for the area. Parking is paid street parking like most places in the area. There was a wait, but for a Friday night, it was expected and we ended up sitting at the bar. Not sure if they are kid-friendly, but it was a typical restaurant-bar environment.
