Woodinville Cut Shop Restaurant and Lounge

This is truly a unique dining experience. If you’re old like me and grew up during the 70’s or a fan of the 70’s, you will appreciate the atmosphere. The food is very good and reasonably priced. I have been to this place twice on business trips. I look forward to my next opportunity to dine here again. I highly recommend that you give The Woodinville Cut Shop a try.

This place is truly has a unique atmosphere, with super fun 70s feel. It will become one of our date night for sure! Great and friendly people, great drinks and food! I had the most amazing and juiciest burger ever! Highly recommend!!

Awesome place. Good drinks and food. First time there, I'll come back to try more and check out the huge fire pit. Kid friendly too. No babysitter needed.

A themed bar and restaurant that serves up incredible barbecue, homemade chips, and tacos. Come for the kitsch, stay for the food. A regular spot for most Woodinville residents, and a nostalgic trip for Gen-Xers. If you're both--like myself--then you're buckled in, buttercup.

This place is insane. The vibes are on point, it's perfectly dark with decorations that suit every season in the most quirky, badass way. The music is always on point. The firepit outside is cozy and has the comfiest Adirondack chairs you've ever sat in. The happy hour is on point, best wings ever (never fatty, crunchy celery and carrots), nachos are AMAZING, ALL of the meat is insanely good (of course). Burgers and sandwiches 🤤- you can't go wrong here. So many amazing bartenders and servers (Matt and Michael KILL it every time we go in, even when we surprise them with a party of 30 or 40 😬). Setup is on point no matter what you're there for, including games- huge projector, visible to most of the bar/restaurant. Legitimately our favorite bar ever.

I came to the Cut Shop after a long day of work and to be honest... I always thought it was a car shop. But it's not, this is no car shop. The parking lot is always PACKED, which is what had confused me at first. The music playlist was amazing (perfect volume) and it was late so I had the opportunity to order off the late night menu and... wow. They have this bologna sando that just completely blew me into another dimension. I'm talking mayo, MUSTARD (big detail), pickles lettuce and a FAT SLAB OF BOLOGNA, topped with crispy chips nonetheless. Check it out only $9??? I cant even go to taco bell for $9. The Friday night atmosphere was so serene I could sit here and enjoy my own company or talk to my neighbors at the bar. Absolutely love it I will be back for sure, very soon. Oh and by the way they have a deal called "The tradesman" $12 for a shot and a beer made custom for the Cutshop. I decided to go with the Moontower Lager but they also have a pale ale made by Watts. While I was there I saw some of the most succulent BBQ I have seen in Washington, brisket, ribs and pulled pork. I overheard they do tomahawk steaks on Wednesday. The employees were so nice to me a bartender named Nicole showed me their massive smoker they have in the back of the parking lot. I will definitely be coming back here to see what else they have to offer.

Do NOT eat here. I don’t want to have to wait for a table 😉 Fries were perfect, bacon was absolutely amazing. Wow

Good draft beers. Good food. Good atmosphere. Great service. Will be coming back again!

Updating the rating higher. Foods become better and more consistent. Also, this is a fun place for the area, I do recommend it.

Atmosphere is great. The Salmon Caesar was excellent The tacos were good, but man they carry A LOT of grease! I think they could greatly improve by draining the grease from the meat somehow. They also needed more lettuce and cheese Not sure why they default the tip to either 20-22-25% when we order ourselves??

What a cool spot! I especially love the decor. Everything inside and out, looks clean and on brand. Indoor and outdoor seating on a cozy, covered patio. I tried the Cut Shop Burger. It was a decent burger! Don't let the fries fool you. They look like they'll be bland and undercooked, but they're hand cut and delicious. Order at the bar for service! The workers were friendly and calm despite a packed house for the Mariner's game.

Such a fun vibe! Came with my friends who are locals and they ordered us these massive tomahawk steaks with some amazing sides and it was a big YES from me. Drinks were creative and yummy too! Can't wait to come back! (Also they have good ranch, when you can get ranch right that says a lot about your place. lol)

What a fun spot! This feels like a taste of Austin on the east side. Cocktails were great, loved the buffalo chicken salad, and the atmosphere was hopping on Friday night.

One of the best happy hours in woodinville. Didn't know you could still get a $5 been in Washington. The Hh food is good too. This is a great little spot

Greet vibes, big patio out back and they've got a lot of long wooden benches for larger groups to fit 20+ people. Typical bar food, great fries. Servers and staff are all cool and quick. Definitely a place I'd come back to for happy hour!

A great atmosphere and awesome decor inside. Pretty good BBQ. This place screams "Roadhouse" with the many kitschy signs throughout and the wood paneling, tables & timbers everywhere. Lots of seating and a huge variety of table sizes as well. There is also an outdoor covered seating area. It was packed when we came. The day prior, I had seen the smoker outside in full use and had a craving to go here. We got here about 7pm knowing they close the kitchen at 8pm. This worked out perfectly for us. We ordered at the bar and got a number and picked a seat. They deliver the food to you. I had the Brisket Sandwich which includes coleslaw and it was awesome. I really want to try their other smoked meats but was turned off by the high prices. Most items seemed to be priced very high for a casual restaurant. My son got the chicken wings with lemon pepper seasoning and Blue Cheese. The chicken pieces were billed as "large" pieces but were the standard hot wings size (small). My daughter had the Cut Shop Burger with Caesar Salad but said it was really dry. My wife had the fried brussel sprouts and liked these. She also had a side of Mac N Cheese which all 4 of us tried and no one really liked it. It was not tasty at all. Cut Shop needs to try the Mac N Cheese at Brileys or Ezells - that is what the Mac N Cheese sides should taste like. So this place had the right ambiance and decor and a friendly and lively crew. I really want to like it but due to the high food prices I won't be returning too often.

Where has this place been in my life! What a great place!! Awesome BBQ and Burgers! I had a great drink called the Goldrush I highly recommend!

Came with my husband for an Avants meetup and was pleasantly surprised. They reserved the patio and I was pretty skeptical considering the wind and rain that hit us that morning. Being the amazing wife (yeah right) I am, I bundled up and came down. It was packed! This place was pretty hopping for a Wednesday night. I love the vintage vibe and the decor inside. We had a dedicated server outside (which means I can't speak fairly for service) but he was nice. Not super knowledgeable, I had some menu questions and he had no idea. But he was nice enough. The drink (Holiday Mule) was delicious and refreshing and I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with ham plus a side of fries. Took forever for the food, and he brought (and charged me) for extra fries and then forgot my ranch. But the food was good!

This is a bar, not a restaurant -- and that distinction matters. If you're visiting from out of town or unfamiliar with the place, you might be misled. If you do want to call it a restaurant, think fast-food joint rather than a legit sit-down establishment. Rating: (3 Stars) -- Points for effort on the festive decor and cold, fresh beer. The Experience: We visited on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entry, the lady at the bar simply yelled, "Open seating." That was the extent of the welcome. The setup felt chaotic -- signs indicated that you order at the bar and then find a seat, but the process wasn't clear. My boyfriend ordered at the bar after 5-10 minutes, yet while I was waiting, a staff member came by and asked if I wanted to order drinks. Confusing, to say the least. The mixed signals were frustrating, and the lack of a warm greeting didn't help. The staff wore regular clothes and seemed to be trying to blend in, making it hard to tell who worked there and who didn't. What We Ordered: Shop Taco: I was excited to try the crispy tortilla (a rarity these days). Unfortunately, it was so greasy that oil dripped out when I picked it up. It tasted just like a Taco Bell crunchy taco -- not necessarily what I was hoping for. Brisket Sandwich: Extremely dry and flavorless. The dominant taste was horseradish sauce, and if there was any BBQ sauce, it was undetectable. BLT: The best of the bunch, but still lacking. The bacon was thick and difficult to chew, overwhelming the other flavors. The finely chopped lettuce was a nice touch, though. Overall: The experience was disappointing. Even as a bar, the service was dismal. The confusing ordering process, indifferent staff, and mediocre food didn't justify the prices, which were on par with regular restaurants. If they're going to charge full-service prices, they need to deliver full-service quality -- both in food and hospitality. The serious lack of service and smile is interesting. This is more of a fast-food joint but their prices reflect a regular restaurant and food quality is very poor.

Really wish Yelp had the ability to comment on others' incorrect opinions. More specifically, why do people seem hellbent on a "warm greeting?" Honestly the best welcome to an obviously dressed-up divebar like Cut Shop is "sit wherever," closely followed by none at all. Anyway, this place rules, the food is excellent, and it's family friendly. Thankful Woodinville has unpretentious spots like this for locals and tourists alike.

I love this place and have been going there since it opened. Atmospher is great and unique. The food use to be over the top but success has not been good to this place. The food became inconsistant, the prices rised ( I get it everything has ) but the quality keeps going down. They have a recent menue change and aperently cheff and manager, unfortunitly a new low too. My mid twenty dollar salad was unetible the meat was so tough. The waitress was nice, said I wouldnt eat that either. The coctail I ordered is usualy served in a pint size glass 3 types of liqure and juice it came in a whiskey glass so about a third of what was expected. I was another offered a free drink but at that point why we arent going to salvage this. . I don't do reviews typically especialy this platform but I realy hope they read it and get it together

The Cut Shop is a place that anyone should feel welcome. Whether you like drinking Colt 45 tall boys or root beer out of the bottle, this 70's themed establishment has you covered. The only down side is they don't provide regular service to your table. A lot of times you have to walk up to the bar to order what you want.

Went here for a lunch with a large group of friends. Given the fact there were over ten of us, the service was good. The decor inside was the best - kinda stranger things with a splash of disco thrown in. The lighting was cool. The food was average - portions were small given the price. The cocktail prices were high for a neighborhood bar / dive bar. Got the Alabama chicken thighs and the portion of meat was super small for the price. The plate was mostly French fries. The taste was excellent but definitely left you wanting more. We were still hungry after eating. If the prices were more reasonable for the portions, I would go back.

Amazing vibrant place and it's perfect for Friday or Saturday evening to hang out with friends . Food and drinks are great and service was quick. Ambiance is just like other bars nothing spectacular but I hope they have more lighting . Servers did came twice to check and ask us .

Had a great time at the Cut Shop! The service and food were great, ambiance was fun and it is a good place to meet up with friends. We had never been there before and had a great time at a birthday for our friend. We will definitely be going there again

Nice vibe. Food is okay. Great beer selection with plenty of appetizers. Staff was engaged, attentive and friendly.

The food was great. We were a party of 13. We are seated in the private patio called the Grotto and it was perfect! Yes it was raining and cold, but the patio is enclosed, covered, and the heaters did the job! We got to try many different items. For appetizers we had the juicy wings, tender teriyaki skewed, and the flavorful triple threat nachos. A great option on the menu is that if you want a full size sandwich, you can order it from the Sammiches section and if you want a smaller portion you can order basically the same thing from the Short Order Menu. All of these were delicious choices. Of the Sammiches options some of us picked the Cut Shop Burger and the fried chicken club. On the Short Order Menu, we order the smaller ones of the same items-Slough Burger and The Squak. Then we has fries and the house made chips. We also had the taco shop tacos. All were great choices and came out hot, like I like it.

I ordered a steak and asked for it medium rare. This is how it came... I expressed my concerns to a waiter and he said he will bring it back to the chef. From the words of our waiter.. "the chef says this is how it's done. We can fire you another one but you will have to pay for it" Great workers, great ambience but... Needless to say, my friends and I will not be coming back. The waiter even had the audacity to say "with the lighting, it's hard to tell but it looks right to me" If you come here, you'll have fun but... Don't expect things to be done well .... Or... Expect things to be well done when you didn't want it to be

We enjoy the food here-to the point where it has sorta become our "Cheers." But beyond the food, come for the service. In keeping with the current trend of counter service, you order at the counter and they bring you your order. What sets it apart is the employees. I don't know who is hiring, but they are always engaging and super friendly. So well done Cut Shop! And special shout out to the kitschy decor, and usually awesome playlist (not a fan of CW, which occasionally seeps in). Really an enjoyable experience!

No turkey in my turkey Cobb salad!!! I've received great service dining in. Not sure what happened. They were busy. I tried calling and couldn't get through. Disappointed. Not worth $20 with no meat. Ordered two salads. No meat :'(

This place is pretty close to our house but we always pass by it. Because the location was kinda weird, like you would probably miss it if you weren't really looking for it. Well, we decided to try it after seeing the menu. It is like a divey bar with music playing in the background. You order at the bar and pay and then grab a number and people will bring food out to you once it's ready. We got the BBQ meat plate and for $40 before tax, it was very generous. You get some ribs, brisket, pull pork, chicken, sausages , a piece of toast (cut in 2), a side of fries, side of coleslaw, some pickled onions, pickles and jalapenos. The food wasn't the best quality in my opinion, like it could be more tender but it wasn't bad. Everything was decent. I do wish that they replace one of the side ( either the fries or the toast) with something more liquidy/saucy like Mac and cheese, beans, etc to balance things out. Overall though, it's seems like a good place for happy hour and the portions seems generous enough.

Cut Shop always delivers -- great food, awesome drinks, and a chill vibe. hanging out inside or on the patio. Highly recommend!

Ordered the loaded nachos & Smash Burger loves both! Service was good! You have the option to order inside or have a server take the order. Sat outside since it was sunny but if I come back at night would rather sit inside to enjoy the decor.

Decent enough food, beer is fine. They could use some culinary talent to make what they serve better. Salmon sandwich is good but a complete mess to eat. The hot turkey sandwich is a gravy bomb that desperately needs cranberry sauce with it. Don't recommend it, but it would be top notch with an acid component. Do it.

As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted as was my friend who arrived separately. We placed our orders and our food arrived promptly. We sampled the beverage offerings and we're not disappointed. There was a mixture of groups of friends as well as families, and an outdoor fire pit. The wait staff checked in on us regularly, answered our questions, and brought us all which was needed. Well go back.

A quirky restaurant that belongs in the PNW the way gamers do in the basement. Real smoked meat, crispy chicken wings, pristine 80s memorabilia and wooden booths. A place that I love putting on repeat with my family and friends.

Loved this place, it was busy and pretty loud but the food and service was great! I had the birria tacos and YUM! Also my go to drink is a cosmo and their version of a cosmo was probably in the top 3 i've ever had.

My dad and I came here for taco Tuesday during what I thought was Happy Hour. $6 glasses of wine $3 tacos and $10 double margaritas. Turns out it was just the shop taco that was $3 and when I ordered the wine they didn't tell me what was on the happy Hour wine list. I even asked what wine was $6 they didn't have an answer. The tacos were alright. But not for that price. The place was retro. But the music was so loud that I couldn't have a conversation with the person that I came here with. I was sweating the whole time. The music gave me a headache.

..very rude waiting staff. The bartender (Evan) was excellent though. Would come back for drinks, and to converse w/ Evan.

First timer. Visited last Friday for a work lunch. Parking lot was quite full and I even questioned do people not work anymore? Kinda dark walking in , dark like we're hiding dirt not the ambiance. Hate the HARD picnic tables.. no other seats open. Table was sticky like had not been wiped down in days. I will give the fried pickles an 10/10 . Very very crispy. Best I've ever had. My pulled pork sandwich was not great. Flavorless. Bun got soggy faster than Christmas gets here after Halloween. The red container of Lloyd's you can buy at the store tastes better cold them what I was served. I will say the meat portion was good , but if it's not good what's the point? Tried a few fries.. can't say I talked about them in my diary.

Tacos ok but not amazing. Mac and cheese, very small and dry. The waitresses here are a motley tribe of something akin to wicken peasant hippies or flower children gone astray.. most of them wander through the crowd taking orders randomly from those at the table sitting in front of empty glasses... And they only do that because they get roped into it . They really only came around to collect the empty beer glasses. No hustle, no customer service. Let one guy cut in front of us in line at the bar, where you are expected to stand and wait to place a drink order. Same mediocre food getting pushed out of that kitchen by the same indifferent, unkempt dudes We only go if a friend from out of town wants to ... Better to go to the Caribbean Casino for drinks and food.

One word for this place: Gas. The drinks are fire, the food is fire, and the service is friendly and fast. We went during a pretty busy time and yet we got our food in like 15 min after ordering. The cut shop gives dive bar but spacious. Love the outdoor seating and love the indoor decor. I got the salmon burger and it was so good, usually not my first pick at places but I did not regret it at all. My boyfriend got the hot hot Nashville chicken and he said it was delicious, spicy but crunchy! We got the pita and hummus as an app and it was so delicious. You could def taste it's a in-house hummus from the consistency, and a splash of what I think was chilli oil that made it have some extra bite. Super super good!! If you've been thinking about this place, just go! Date night, family dinner, whatever you want to celebrate this is the place to go.

I watched this place get renovated from a dark dive bar to a slightly less dark bar with a mediocre and overpriced BBQ 'Cut Shop' which did not quite live up to its name. It is a great location for all the drunk wine tasters coming through town, which is why it is always crowded. Would have been nice had they been really good at BBQ or a great steak house. I like the ambiance during a hot mid-day lunch meeting, as they tend to ignore you most of the time.

Loud and tacky - Not Denise P.S. Go to the men's room and you'll get it. Seriously though, like the food, drinks, and atmosphere a lot.

What a cool place this is, I love everything about the Cut Shop!! We came here for the first time and left becoming regulars. This is an all are welcome here vibe with 70s flair. The decor, ambiance, music, food, and brews are top notch. The staff are super friendly and service is great. This is an order at the bar for food and drinks type of joint. The menu has several food options and they also have a kids menu. We tried the pimento cheese dip and loaded fries. The pulled pork on the fries is incredible. The pimento cheese dip portions are huge! We ate every single bite. Already planning our next return and look forward to catching a game or two on their massive projector screen.

First time here. I was coming from a dinner, I only had a drink, The majority of our party had meals, but everybody drank. We ended up on the back porch and this was the first time I have been to a café, bar or restaurant with an outdoor patio without heaters. My bones literally started to ache after about an hour. I seriously got so stiff that I had to leave. I can't tell you how good it felt to get in my car and turn on the heated seats! On a separate note, the service was warm and friendly. I didn't ask anyone about their meals so I can't speak on it, but in general this wasn't my kind of place. I'm sure there is better food and atmosphere near by, but this place is fine. Again, not for me, but short of the temperature issue, it would have been a decent night.

This is the corner pub of your dreams! Most people drive by thinking this is a butcher shop. The only downside was getting in and out of the parking lot! The Cut Shop is a class act bar and grill. I've tried it twice and had a great experience both times. The first time I sat outside. The service was great, to the point where we had two servers checking on us every few minutes. We started with the fried pickle chips. These were fantastic, the jalapeño tarter sauce was a great flavor add for this. I tried the slough burger. It was a great burger. Just the type of burger you would hope for at a classic pub. The beef was juicy and seasoned well. I think it came off a magical grill... yum and yum! Great food, great service!

We met for our monthly book club meeting at the Cut Shop. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Happy Hour is offered Mon-Fri from 2pm-5pm. Indoors is simple with large tables that can easily accommodate large parties. A large screen TV provides sports viewing while dining. Table service is minimal. Orders are placed at the bar. Tabs are paid at the bar. The Cut Shop offers a full bar as well as a decent selection of draft beers. During my visit I slurped on a couple Space Dust IPAs for $7 each. My girlfriend and I split the Pan Am Sandwich for $17: smoked chicken salad, provolone cheese, guacamole, Italian dressing and organic greens on toasted sourdough bread. We chose the house salad as our side. Service was friendly. Overall, I plan on returning in the future to try a few more menu items.

We came here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and there were a good amount of people eating on the patio and plenty of seating available inside. We decided to order a cut shop smoked meat plate to share between us two and it was plenty of food - we were stuffed! We really enjoyed the baby back ribs and the brisket. The sauces on both of those were our favorite. The grilled hot links had a nice kick to them and the sides of the fried jalapeno, Texas toast, coleslaw, and pickled onions went well with the meats. The fries were also rather tasty. We didn't love the sauce on the pulled pork but it was nice that there was variety in the flavors. The servers were friendly. It's a good spot to come with a bigger group because there is enough seating. Will definitely come back again!

Mike Smalls = legend. Great vibes, great food, great service. Hidden gem in Woodinville, check their schedule for live music/events!

I really like this kitschy place. I am sad they changed their menu, though. I used to love the Caesar salad with the pepitos and my husband says their nachos are a lot different. We'll give them another try though.

Fun funky 70s decor. Packed house, VERY loud on a Friday night- we couldn't even talk to each other across our tiny table because there was no point, couldn't even hear one another! We kind of sat ourselves and waited for someone to come by and notice us. Once we got our food it was really delicious but my Alabama bbq chicken said it came with Texas toast which I didn't receive (not sure what happened there)... I wanna say it's worth going back?maybe during lunch on a weekday?

Nice classic bar atmosphere. Most of the food is really good, not fancy but good bar food. The prices are good (relative to the average level of insane prices these days)

Cut Shop is exactly what you'd expect! We went for a friend's birthday party on a Saturday night and the vibes are definitely fun inside. There was a game on, cool lights, and fun decor all over. The service is pretty abysmal. The wait staff look unhygienic and aren't wearing any kind of uniform so it's hard to tell who is there to help. I was also surprised that they wanted to me to open a tab to order a water with lemon...It was $1 but still- I will bring my own lemon slice next time. My friend is dairy free and they were able to make a sandwich dairy free for her, but then brought her side salad out with parmesan. Not a lot of thought went into it. I didn't order any food since I am gluten free and they were not able to accommodate my dietary needs. The food prices are pretty high for what you get. The girl next to me got a quesadilla and it looked like something anyone could make at home, but was $16. I kind of get the dive bar vibe, but the prices really don't match and there is not really any presence from the service staff. Fun place to watch a game or take shots but I would't recommend it for the drinks or the food based on what I witnessed and the menu prices.

The food was great. #1 BLT. Ambiance is so fun and lively and all the decor was awesome. All of it cultivated. Right down my alley! Great music for a Wednesday lunch time. I will be back with reinforcements!!

Spent a better part in 90 minutes at this place yesterday. I have been in there previously, and thought it was pretty decent. It was a bit confusing when we went in, as we missed the obvious sign that said "order here". The last time I was there, they took orders at our table. Not realizing how much of a creature of habit I am, I ordered the same exact thing as last time, which is the fried chicken. I got it with the salad with blue cheese. I've got to say this is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The only thing it's missing is my mom's potato salad . The side options they offer, are good as well. The ambience... Well, it's a pub, and it has a very pub ambience. Don't expect white tablecloths, confusing silverware on the table, and making sure you keep your glass on the right side of your plate. Not that kind of etiquette applies here. It's clean, well organized, great food, great drinks (awesome whiskey selection ). Really enjoyed it, I plan to go back, as it seems to be a great meeting point for people around the east side of the lake, folks coming down from Everett or up north. Thank you.

I always Get Some at the Cut Shop. They always bring it. Food, Service and atmosphere. Been coming here for years as they have continued to build their business. Super fun... always.
