“ Ok, not gonna lie. This is one of my favorite spots on Ft Worth. We ended up coming here a variety of nights with different clients when in town for the Bassmaster Classic. Ordered the Texas Trinity a couple of times, the sandwich with multiple meats and lastly the Rib Meat Tamales. The food is consistently excellent. Tender and flavorful meats and the servers are friendly and always willing to chat. The waterfront location and live music give it a great, fun atmosphere. If you find yourself in Ft Worth, check it out. ”
“ I had the chicken sandwich with cheese and the chipotle aïoli sauce, which helped the flavor palette tremendously. The ambience is why you come here for live music and to sit by the fire. ”
“ Friendly service, delicious food , love the open ambiance , plenty of seating inside , out , or at the bar. They smoke everything in house. Probably one of the best baked potatoes I have ever had. Wide variety menu options. Definitely recommend and will be back. Food comes out quick . ”
“ Woodshed is often a requested stop by friends in town, and we finally visited! Beverage options are plentiful (whether ordering from the bars or at table), bbq is delicious (special shout-out for the Woodshed Burger that's topped with sausage and brisket) AND the smoked chocolate mini-pie, and location is hybrid indoor-outdoor (garage like doors can drop on extra cool or breezy days/nights). Decor is rustic. Servers are amazing - give great recommendations and are attentive. Only reason for the four (vs five) stars is parking. Just bring $10 + tip (or ask your server to add it to your bill) and choose valet. Enjoy! ”
“ A local Sunday brunch spot that has a great, dog-friendly patio! We dined outside with our pups and enjoyed great food and service. I loved the cheddar biscuits with brisket gravy. So good! Tip: get there early because it gets busy around 11. ”
“ Showed up around noon last Saturday, and the weather was perfect. I knew there was a TCU game, but it didn't start for another six hours, so surely the crowd here would be minimal, right? No. That did not matter because it seemed that at least half of the students attending TCU as well as their parents, siblings, cousins, papaws, meemas, and all of their neighbors were here to pre-game early - this place was PACKED inside and out. It was a sea of purple, too. Well, we had nothing better to do than wait and drink, so that's what we did. We waited an hour and a half before we got a table, and it was another hour before the food was finally laid out before us. There were a lot of drinks drank... lots of dranked drinks. By the time the food came it was nearly 3:00, and I was freggin' DRUNK! I ate a little bit of everything - the brisket, the ribs, the sausage, the little stuffed peppers... It was all good. Was it the best I have ever eaten? Well, no. The brisket was a tad bit on the dry side, the ribs could have been a little more tender. The sausage was a bit... different, special maybe, and I think it might have been my favorite thing here. Those red peppers stuffed with brisket were pretty good, too, as was the beans and potato salad. The hostess told us it would be a while before we got a table, and our waitress also warned us when we ordered it would be at least 45 minutes before it came out. It's good to be warned like that - it sets expectations. Besides, I'm glad there was a wait, I had a real good time catching up with great friends here (one of which had to drive me and my car away from this woodshed once we were done!). ”
“ Last time I visited Woodshed during covid (2020) I came for the "Tomahawk Prime Rib" only to be disappointed it wasn't available. Seems the dish is now permanently off the menu. I has sad as I wanted to see if it compared to my local Salt Lick BBQ 32oz bone in Prime Rib in Driftwood, Texas. This time GF and I left early for DFW because concert Friday night; got to Woodshed early Saturday as we had six diners driving north from Austin. A brunch drank consumed along with a tide over appetizer Pinched Buns. Typical of Asian restaurants the steamed buns were a perfect bite to tide us over. First time here HUGE wait. This visit not so much. Pay the extra $10 plus tip for some shade ala valet. The Pit Smoked Hummus was as good as the last visit. I apparently had the same dish as the previous visit. The Bulgogi Tacos are a wonderful "New BBQ" choice. Flavorful meat with a "quick kimchee" meaning it doesn't have to sit in a bucket for 6-12 months per the standard recipe. Corn tortillas were amazingly thin. All of our friends were impressed with entree selections. GF's ramen broth was dark and flavorful. Buddy's CFS impressed with the escabeche spin atop the cream gravy. One note; the digs 4 years later in the form of cheap window units providing AC to the dining room are a bit redneck. While I get it and I know this isn't fine dining spend a little cash Tim and revamp this concept. ”
“ We have been here multiple times but took a break, as quality had declined around Covid (even the brisket). We decided to give them another chance, and this time for lunch, and boy are we glad we did! Forgot to take a pic of the soft pretzel but it's one of the best I've ever had (this is saying something, as my husband gets them EVERYWHERE)! We split the chicken sandwich and the flat bread. Everything was good but the chicken was the start. Pretty sure that's the best friend chicken I've ever had, really well seasoned and perfect early crispy while also juicy! I ended up taking it off the bun, the piece of meat in that March was the length of my forearm... not an exaggeration! The flatbread was pretty good, flavors were great not I'm not a fan of cheddar on a pizza, not I get it when it's a bbq pizza. T, the bartender, was our server, and she was fantastic! If you'd had a so so experience in the last few years, consider giving them another shot! ”
