I must have had the same waitress as Shae K. The experience is eerily similar. Asked for a half-half pizza, waitress wasn't even going to write down what I wanted on each half. Pizza arrives with ingredients completely messed up *shocker* I told her I couldn't eat it, that's not what I asked for, she says she'll send it back and fix it. How long? 5 minutes. Fast forward to half an hour later, here comes pizza. She's all proud of how they fixed it, even wrote the ingredients on each side on the outside of the box. Wrong. Again, not what I asked for, AT ALL. Then I opened the box just for morbid curiosity - the ingredients are wrong - AGAIN. Completely different of the ones written on the outside of the box, which were also wrong. Am I in the twilight zone??? She then kept pushing us to take the pizza home anyways. Hell no. Manager took it off the bill, it's all good. Sure. Get new bill, the charges for each pizza ingredient still there (which, btw, we were told there weren't "individual ingredient charges, unless it was a gourmet ingredient - don't get me started on that one...). This place is a mess. Nowhere on the menu it says what the pizza toppings choices are - "they have everything" Â - nor what the "gourmet toppings" are and the pricing. Be sure to look at your receipt to see what they charge for each one. Go figure that one out... Not worth coming back for, in any way.
Review Source:I WANT to like this place. Really, I do. I don't come out to this area much but when I do I'm loving the thought of having a beer and appetizer. This place has a good feel for that.
Ultimately the service is just lacking in all areas. This is my second time here and the same 4-5 employees are again spending more time socializing than working. As a server once upon a time I used to do it too but it is something for the "back of the house", in passing or when its slow; both times I've been there I've overheard nothing in the dining area but how drunk the server got that weekend and how little they want to be at work...typical, but save it for the back.
Not only was the food mediocre at best, but I had an awful experience at Woody's in regards to the waitress we had. Â She just simply forgot one of our orders, which happens I understand people are human, but she didn't take responsibility and blamed it on the kitchen, she said it would be out within five minutes. Â About twenty five minutes later we have not heard from her again, we've all finished eating by now, she is avoiding our table like the plague which is quite obvious and we're all out of drinks. Â So everyone is sitting there thirsty, and one person quite hungry. Â
Another ten minutes pass and we track this women down tell her we just want the check and to leave. Â The food never came for our friend, we did not pay for it, and I will not be returning to Woody's.
This was our second visit for dinner using a $20 Groupon. Â Last time we ordered entrees off the menu and they were meh. Â Tonight we had the Salad Bar/Pizza Buffet for $9.99 and the food was much better.
We were seated in the very back of the restaurant in a booth. Â It was actually our preferred seating rather than right across from the salad bar.
The salad bar had the choice of 3 different fresh greens: Â iceberg lettuce, spring mix, or baby spinach. Â There were over 40 salad toppings including wasabi peas, sunflower seeds, and goldfish crackers. Â There were 2 different mystery soups without a label. Â The salad plates were small. Â I would suggest getting a larger oval plate at the pizza bar for your salad.
There were about 6-8 varieties of pizzas. Â They were unlabeled. Â It was difficult to tell which ones had BBQ sauce rather than marinara sauce. Â There was one pesto based pizza. Â Many of the pizzas had pepperoni on them. Â The consistency of the crusts varied. Â Some bones were well done, others were soft and chewy. Â
At one point, there were a lot of empty pizza pans and slices of old pizza available. Â We waited for them to make fresh pizzas. Â The server told us that we could special order slices if we didn't see what we wanted, just like another well known pizza buffet chain.
The server took our Groupon and brought our check about 20 minutes into eating our dinner and that was the last we saw of her. Â No more drink refills, no more clearing of our plates, no more service.
I had not been here for a very long time. Â We used to come for pizza, wings, and trivia, but that was quite a while back. Â I came here with a few people recently, when our target destination lost their liquor license, and we wanted some drinks. Â I had a Moscow Mule and a Raspberry version of the same. Â They had real copper mugs (hooray!). Â The drinks were potent and flavorful. Â And were way to easily to drink in a rapid fashion.
We decided to get some food and some of us opted for the Woody's Pizza/Salad/Soup bar. Â It was pretty much as I remembered. Â The soup was a okay, the salad bar was surprisingly well stocked, and fresh, and the pizza was pretty good (although the standard for pizza has been set pretty high in Denver lately). Â Our waitress was friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, Woody's gave us a terrible Friday night experience. Â My husband paid $16 for a rack of ribs that were incredibly dry. Â He only ended up eating about half of them because they were so bad. Â Our waitress disappeared for a good 30 minutes. Â We finally had to ask another waitress to go get her so we could leave. Â If you go, the only thing that is close to being worth the money is the pizza buffet. Â You get salad (not fresh, and the ranch dressing was empty), soup, and pizza. Â The pizza is about the quality of CiCi's, so we should have gone there and saved a ton of money. Â I will not be returning to Woody's.
Review Source:Saturday karaoke, yay! Â Free well drinks for chicks between 9pm-12am, yay! Â
Karaoke is now provided by Uncle Dutchie's karaoke so you get a pretty extensive song selection and the sound is super duper. Â The entire bar is clean and the decor decent. Â This is definitely not a ghetto bar. Â If karaoke isn't your thing, they have pool tables and some video games in the back room. Â
I've only tried the Swiss mushroom burger here and it was really good. Â It's pretty big, come with fries, and only costs $8. Â I'll be trying the other menu options on my next visit. Â Even though the drinks are free and come in tiny plastic cups, I've managed to get white-girl wasted in a 3 hour time period. Â Plus, the bartender is pretty nice to look at. Â
FYI - There's lots of parking and the bathrooms are super clean.
My wife and I went to Woody's today and had a good meal. I have not been there in a few years, but my wife found a groupon so we decided to give it another go. Last time I was there I was a bit disappointed in the pizza. I am glad we gave it another shot. Since we were there last, they have completely remodeled the place and it looks great. They have expanded their salad bar, and it seems like they have improved their pizza sauce recipe. They were really good about making the pizza with the toppings we asked for. The margarita was was good as well. Our waiter was friendly. We will go back again, and not wait another couple of years. Looking on yelp many of the poor reviews seem to be from a few years ago and I would have given it a worse review back then as well, but not now. So if you are looking at the poor reviews keep the dates in mind since it does seem like they have made steps to improve the place. One thing about pizza is it seems to be a very subjective thing, but at least they will make you a pizza to order even if you are doing the buffet.
Review Source:I have no idea how I forgot to write a review on this awesome place! I had the "street tacos" you can pick 3 for $7.99. I, of course, chose the fish tacos. They were very good!! The husband had the sandwich that had pepperoni (can't think of the name of it) He said it was also very good!
Neat little join to stop in on! Recommend!
Stopped in here for a quick lunch. I saw that they had a taco menu, 3 for $7.99 with 3 different types you can choose from. I wanted to go ahead and try all three, instead of getting three of the same ones. So they offer a Baja Fish taco, Jamaican Jerk Chicken Taco, and a Wood-Roasted Carnitas taco. They were all delicious, but the Jamaican Jerk Chicken is the tastiest in my opinion.
The service was great and fast, the bar is what you expect it to look like. A sports bar-like atmosphere and it was clean.
What a dissapointment, we had gone to Woodys in Golden and it was fantastic, we thought they were a chain not sure if they are or notl. The service was lacking, 1 waiter for the entire place on a Sunday afternoon and 7 tables with customers. We thought about having the buffet but they only had a couple of old pizzas with a sweaty guy making more so we just ordered a pizza and wings. The wings were very good, pizza mediocore. To bad its very close to home but we wont be going back!
Review Source:We ate here last Thursday night. Â We had the pizza and salad bar buffet. Â The salad bar has so many options, you can't imagine. Â There were a few options that didn't make sense, but when you have such a large salad bar, you've got to fill it with something. Â Either way, the salad bar wasn't exactly super fresh. Â But, it wasn't terrible.
We must have hit the pizza bar/buffet at the wrong time because the pizza just wasn't that great. Â The crust was quite good though. Â I think there is a chance we might stop through again, but I kind of doubt it. Â There were too many flies bothering us and the place as a whole just wasn't worth returning to. Â I think there are probably some better options, but this place has some potential to get better. Â The price was fair for what we got. Â But, fair often isn't good enough these days.
Not a bad bar. Â Prompt service at the bar and pretty decent food for a bar. Â I went here with some friends after work and we had a pretty good time. Â They play trivia and that was fun. Â The establishment was clean. The restroom for the ladies was OOC however they had portal potties . Â I dreaded using it but when you gotta go you gotta go. Â Surprisingly, the portapotties were clean and didn't smell that much and very...well advanced. Â I will return again :)
Review Source:Wow honestly kinda of suprised this placed is rated so lowly. While I think Woodys deserves more of a 4.5 then a 5, I will still give it a 5 rather than a 4. A 4 just does not do this place justice.
The service is always great, the pizza bar is fresh. The selections are awesome especially for the price. The pizza is great (love the buffalo chicken and garlic pizza).
The salad bar is not Ruby Tuesdays big but pretty good for a complimrntary salad bar. And if you have not tried the Beer Cheese Soup, oh you must.
I do not drink but the people I have been with who drink always seem to be happy with the drink prices and selection.
TVs are all over the place. I could say that their are pry a few better places (BWW for one) to watch games though. Alot of the TVs are smaller and up high in the air. Minor complaint though. When I watched a game on the big TV about a year ago the TV was very outdated  (not sure if they have updated the big TV since).
LOVE LOVE WOODYS
You must try the Beer Cheese Soup if you go their
Everything that I wanted Woody's to be; Woody's was. Got there just before the end of Happy hour, which is 3-7 everyday! My girlfriend and I got a couple whiskey gingers and made them doubles. It was a good decision. Strong pours! Then we grabbed a beer from their list of beers. When it was time to eat we were both pleasantly suprised by our food, which was priced very well. I had the burger and she had buffalo tenders. Burger was great and the buffalo sauce was nice and hot. Our server made the night by making sure we were taken care of by answering our questions and even got us a side of their buffalo gold sauce to take with us and that stuff was amazing. Can't wait to be back on a thursday for 49 cent wings all day!
Review Source:When I heard they have a pizza buffet I just figured this place was going to be a glorified, adult Chuck E. Cheese. But thankfully I'm often wrong!
We went here the night of the Broncos-Pats playoff game and got there right before the game started. I knew this place had a pretty big bar area but didn't expect it to be as much as a zoo as it was. There was a small wait but we ended up scoring a roomy booth and Woody's is awesome with the fact that wherever you're sitting in the place, you can clearly spot a tv. Â Our server was sweet but really slooooowwwwww....and forgetful but I just think she was in the weeds with the influx of people in for the game. I was impressed with not only their draft beer selection but also prices of their food. I found out about this place thanks to my boyfriend Groupon so we could get a meal plus an appetizer to cover the bill. We got the Parmesan artichoke dip and um yeah, if you go to Woody's, you must get this. Not only is the dip rich and savory, it's served with bite sized pieces of garlic bread that made me wishing I had two orders-one to share and one for myself. The pizza was surprisingly awesome as well, the sausage has a little zing to it and the peppers were fresh and gave us more than enough for leftovers.
To top it all off, wonderful people watching!
I drive past here a lot and finally stopped in when I picked up a Groupon! Â Both times I've been here I've had the salad/pizza bar and was pleased with the choices and the freshness of everything. Â
A friend and I stopped in for an early lunch and were offered our choice of any pizza since they had not yet put anything out on the bar. Â When I mentioned I would enjoy anything as long as it didn't have onions I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress brought us a plate of slices with no onions.
I love this place, while I'm not a huge pizza fan I love the Pizza Bar here. Buffalo chicken has to be my hands down favorite, and I enjoy the ability to have different pizza if I wish. They will also make what you want for the all yyou can eat pizza bar. Staff is friendly and service is good!
Review Source:Oh Woody's - you became my home away from home. I must disagree with the "not good for dancing" assignment as I've seen and have personally incited many a Clarence Carter or MJ-fueled patio dance party.
You were with me in the end when I said goodbye to Denver, playing host for my going away party; a welcome peer among all the good friends who joined us there that night.
You (and your gorgeous, amazing, hilarious bartender Bill) will be dearly missed :(
The location is really convenient for me so it's a nice place to stop on my way home from work, or when I want to walk / ride my bicycle to a neighborhood place. Â The pizza is really good and if you're feeling adventurous you can create your own, which I highly recommend. Â The service is usually pretty good, friendly and attentive. Â
The patio is dog friendly, which is always a plus for me. Â And the wait staff brought out a big water bowl so our pups could have a drink while everyone else had their drinks on the patio.
If they still showed UFC fights, I'd go there much more often. Â But it's still a nice place to stop in for a bite to eat.
Oh, and they usually have karaoke every Friday. Â Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your perspective!
I've been there a couple of times for their pizza and salad buffet. The salad bar is tiny and nothing to write home about, but when they have the broccoli cheese soup, it's worth going back for seconds.
The pizza is pretty good, and if they're not too busy and you tell them what kind you like, they'll add it into the lineup. Better than average pizza, and you can't beat the price.
I've heard of mixed reviews. I went yesterday (Saturday March 5), for lunch with my friends around the noon hour. Me being the different one in the group opted for the buffalo chicken sandwich while my boyfriend opted for the all you can eat salad and pizza. But let me start from the beginning. From the outside there were a few vehicles in the parking lot. When my boyfriend and I entered I was immediantly taken back to my homestate of Montana where when you walk into a bar you get that smoking feeling and somewhat rundown. Upon entering the dining area I noticed only 2 tables were taken. Umm ok, why aren't there a lot of people here? We were greeted by the manager (or assistant manager) and we told him that we were waiting for friends and will wait a few minutes before being seated. Off he goes to go talk with an employee. We decided to sit after a few minutes and had to wait for someone to acknowledge us. When we got seated we ordered our drinks. We were left alone with only an occasional,"how are you doing, need anything?" from the waitress.
My friends arrived and we waited about 10 minutes before we got our order in. My boyfriend and friends, like I mentioned above, ordered the all you can eat and me the buffalo chicken sandwich. When my food came out it looked really good. Only problem? The hoagie bread the one piece of buffalo chicken tender came on was too big. You ended up eating two bites of pure bread, which was soft and good, before actually getting to the actual chicken. There were maybe a couple strips of lettice on both halves, coulda used more lettuce. The sauce on the chicken was perfect and had a bite to it. The fries were way too salty for my taste, could only taste salt and not really the actual fries. I can't comment on my boyfriends food as I did not taste it. At least by now, 20 min in our food, more people started coming in....slowly. So maybe the lunch hour is at 1pm, not noon lol.
Another thing I noticed was that there is a sign on the window leading to the outdoor patio that read,"No smoking on patio when food is being served." Or something to that extent. Saw the restaurant manager and other employees out there smoking. Got me a little confused as to why their allowed to smoke outside when the sign explicitly states no smoking on the outdoor patio??
Would I recommend this place to someone? Eh, maybe. I would probably go back again just to try the all you can eat deal.
If pizza were a drug this place would be like a bottle of "Walgreen's Cold Medicine:" Your store brand generic kinda pizza, even though it's called "wood-fired." The atmosphere's a little grody and the server we met, while nice enough, had a bit of a used car salesperson feeling to him.
Would I go back? Nah, pro'lly not. Should I have given this place 3 stars instead of 2, since a 2 is pretty much like a thumbs down and this place wasn't that bad? Nah, pro'lly not.
Wow. I normally hate these kind of places but I'm slightly impressed.
Mainly because this pizza buffet is sans children screaming and putting their dirty ass hands all up on the salad bar selections and what not. From the outside, Woody's definitely looks like a family style pizza restaurant but inside you're greeted by a glorious sign that reads, "21+ only."
Thank God.
It still has that gimmicky pizza buffet/sports feel that most family friendly places have, though. The pizza is surprisingly alright for being in the genre it is. Color me surprised.
I would like to make it very clear that this is a pizza buffet. Â I don't know how many of the reviewers below have ever been to a buffet, but if you're expecting spot on service and the best food you've ever had, you are definitely looking at the wrong type of restaurant.
If, on the other hand, you're looking to have decent pizza, several varieties, and lots of it, then Woody's is your best bet, as the pizza is definitely better than Cici's. Â You'll want to go here on a Tuesday to get the buy 1 get 1 for $1 deal, which with two $2 Coors Lights is less than $20 for two people to stuff themselves silly. Â
The benefits of going to a pizza buffet are that you can have lots of different types of pizza. Â The buffalo chicken is good, the all meat pizza is really good but always gone, and they have several vegetarian options which are all tasty. Â Generally I'd say there are 8-10 varieties of pizza up at once. Â The salad bar has many more veggie options than you'd expect from a place like this, though the dressing selection is limited.
You'll also not want to go at the busiest time of day, or when it's dead. Â When it's super busy, there's a line and the pizzas get eaten too quickly. Â When it's dead, the cooks are not in a hurry to get pizzas up on the bar.
So yeah, there are children running around. Â The servers will not be waiting by your table to refill your water. Â It's not the cleanest restaurant in the world. Â It's not the best pizza you'll ever have. Â Go to a nice sit down restaurant if you want those things. Â But it's a freaking pizza buffet, and it's the best one around.
We've been going to Woody's for 10+ years. Â Last night something was different about our pizza and the waitress confirmed that they changed it. Â And it definitely wasn't for the better. Â I believe the crust and ingredients are the same, but the crust isn't as thick. Â It really made it taste different and not as good as it was before. Â Even the waitress said she thought it didn't taste as good as the way it was prepared before. Â Not sure if we'll go back - we were disappointed in the changes...
Review Source:Terrible experience.
The pizza crust tastes OK, better than some "cheap" places like Domino's. But not enough cheese and toppings. A mediocre pizza.
I went on a Monday when they have the buffet at a lower price. It made me angry they offered two medium size pizzas at a time, while the buffet area was mainly empty. Yes, empty were they are supposed to place more pizzas so you actually have a choice.
Bad service. More considering they only have to bring you drinks and the check.
I will never, ever go back.
This was a very unsatisfying pizza/wing experience. Waitress was pushy.  She set dirty glasses from another table down on our table while she took our order, which I needed to repeat three times: an order of wings and a large pizza with pepperoni, jalapeño, and extra sauce.
Wings were hardly sauced and served room temp, Â and they were stash with the ranch. Â Pizza tasted like cardboard, literally HAD to salt and pepper the pizza; and couldn't be further from extra sauce. Â When we asked for some marinara we were charged both for the sauce on our pizza and the extra on the side?! Â That helped a little, but the pizza was not good by any means. I would go nearly anywhere else for pizza in Denver.
When the bill came the waitress tried to run my card through her hand held electronic order taker. Â The machine couldn't read my card (visa) so the waitress said to use the ATM at the entrance. Â Basically an extra ATM fee b/c their machine is whack. Â
Will not be coming back to this place.
I went here on a Saturday night last December before heading to a party. Â At that point, they were nearly empty. Â It was earlier in the evening (about 6:30), but for a Saturday night I thought there might be more business. Â Our server was very friendly and reminded us it was still happy hour, etc.
They have a standard happy hour, but also rotating specials for each night of the week. Â That night we just stuck with wells/soda because they were cheap (good happy hour).
As for the food, the salad bar is pretty decent and the beer-cheese soup wasn't bad. Â The pizza was better than the lunchroom or hospital cafeteria, but certainly not something I would go for if it wasn't served buffet style. Â Overall, it's reasonably priced (food and drink-wise), so I will probably go here again if I am in the area and craving cheap pizza (and lots of it).
As a chain this place offers decent pizza in a low key bar kinda setting. You know dark and kinda nookish. As for the individual location you might want to try another one. The pizza bar was down to two kinds of pizza and they looked to be the ones no one else wanted, had to fill up on bread sticks. *So good chain, just one poor location.
Review Source:So two stars might be a little unfair as far as food goes. Â But cleanliness means a lot to me and if this rating was based off just that it'd get zero stars. Â
I had the pizza and salad buffet. Â The pizza was good with some unique flavors, like the hot wing pizza, which tasted just like a hot wing. Â Not only were the pizzas creative, but they were also tasty. Â
The salad was so so. Â Not a huge salad bar, but it has most everything you'd find in your basic salad plus a few extras. Â
The service was no good. Â My water was empty and the waitress never came to check and see if I needed a refil. Â Luckily I tried the hot wing pizza before my water ran out because that pizza was hot.
The restaurant was dirty. Â There was food scattered around in various areas of the floor and never cleaned. Â A family was seated at a table beside me where there was food all over the floor under their chairs. Â I heard them joking that if they wanted any salad all they had to do was get it from the floor. Â
Everytime you want more pizza you use your same plate. Â There aren't clean plates by the buffet and the waitress doesn't bring you any. Â I saw a couple people go up with their dirty plate and so I did the same thing. Â It kind of grossed me out. Â Is there not a law against this? Â I'm fron NC and there's definitely a law against using the same dirty plate. Â
Overall, my experience wasn't so great. Â Sure the pizza was good, but the lack of service and dirty restaurant were enough for me to decide this is not a place I'll be going back to.
PIZZA + BUFFET the only way you can go wrong is CiCis with that combination!
The service at time can be lacking, but once again I don't think service and buffet are synonymous when it comes to eating out! The pizza is very above average for buffet and even pizza standards, they have some unique pies that are honestly some of my favorite! The buffalo chicken is great and the bbq cheeseburger is also tasty, Â there is the usual suspects when it comes to pizza and if there isn't anything that matches your pallets taste you can order what ever combination you like and it will be out in 10 minutes. They give you huge 32 once cups of your beverage of choice which can be a good thing because getting a refill can be as challenging as soduko!
One day of the week the pizza buffet is 4.99 and here's a caveat for the kids eat free its one child per adult meal purchase still a decent deal! They also allow you to have your fantasy football drafts and cater to teams, beer discounts for uniforms. Good Will right up the street usually has a softball jersey for cheap if so inclined!
The Pizza here is awesome - always fresh and good. The crust is perfect and the toppings are original and tasty. The thing I used to like about Woody's was the all-you-can-eat pizza/ salad bar. Then I started getting a big fat ass and realized all you can eat is retarded. So, I hadn't been into Woody's in over a year. But, this location is close enough to my job that I decided to try it again. This last pizza choice was so good I almost fought over the last piece - it was Buffalo chicken pizza complete with hot sauce and ranch dabbled over the chicken. It sounded weird on the menu, but we wanted to try something unique. J.C. it was good. It tasted like spicy hotwings with the perfect amount of ranch, and somehow it was still a pizza.
Dangerous.
The service was prompt and just solicitous enough not to be overbearing. I feel like I went home for a holiday and had forgotten how good it was to be home again. I also really enjoy the fact that if you order the pizza bar, and you don't see the kind of pizza you like, they will make it for you. Bonus!
Note: they still have the all you can eat bar for some ridiculous lunch price like $4.99 or something, and kids eat free on Wednesdays.
