Woody's Backyard Grill

The staff hosted our camp for special needs children during the summer. Not only was the food top notch but the staff were amazing and kind. Highly recommended.

This was some of the best barbeque we've had (and we just moved from Texas). We were already excited to come back after trying the burnt ends, but when the pulled pork and ribs came out we were in heaven. My toddler loved the little play area they have in the back too. The young lady who was serving us was so sweet and absolutely delightful, as was the owner, who came over and told us about all the cool evening events they have, from open mic nights to karaoke. We were having a great time, but we had to go so we could get my toddler down for a nap, and it started pouring. This was the biggest downpour I've seen since the last hurricane, and to my absolute shock, the owner showed up with an umbrella and helped me get both my babies and my Mom into the car. He just held the umbrella for us while he got completely soaked. I'm still in awe at this Man's kindness. He was beyond gentlemanly and you could just tell that he has a heart of gold. I had already started this review about the food being amazing before we left, but after that man getting soaked to his bones for us, I just don't feel that there enough words to express how wonderful this experience was. This level of kindness is not something you find often in Miami. I cannot wait to come back with my husband for date night. Their evening events sound amazing, and my husband is still talking about those ribs. It doesn't get any better than this amazing little local spot.

We were in town for a trip and decided to give this place a try since it was conveniently close to our hotel. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the experience. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, so we were seated right away and, to our surprise, received our food quickly as well. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. When we’re back in town, we’ll definitely stop by again!

Could do better The four pieces of brisket I got for 20something dollars was good macaroni and cheese was out of a box you get a small amount of food for a big price I tryed to call my order in and stayed on hold for then hung up on drove 35 min there and the phone was still off the hook got to the bar and the bartender told me I need to find someone walking around to take my order Togo Nice atmosphere, but things could be so much better

Food was pretty good, but the service sucks. I ordered a basic burger, cooked medium with lettuce, tomatoes and onion. The fries were probably the best part of the order, the burger wasn’t bad but felt too firm to the bite. Veggies seemed fresh but were so big that the burger slid around and got difficult to eat. The biggest compliant is the service. I was sitting at the bar along with 2 other people, and about 20 others among 5 or so tables. It wasn’t busy, didn’t seem like it, but after getting my food and having finished my beer, it took so long for a bartender to check on me that I was already halfway done with my food. Not to mention said bartender had walked near me twice and never looked up to check on whether I was okay or not. Put simply, I wouldn’t come back despite it being so close to my work. I’d rather sit in traffic and miss happy hour at Hole in the Wall than come back here.

Went for lunch on Friday... I have mixed feelings about this place. First the PROS: Nice comfortable outdoor seating enough for our party of 10. The Brisket tacos I had were delicious, the dirty burger was delicious, the ribs I think are better than Flannigan's fall off the bone ribs .. I Would say these just barely hang on to the bone they are so tender... And they use a mustard base sauce over them that gives them a very good flavor. Fish dip was ok, not that memorable.. Now for the CONS: Service while friendly and courteous was EXTREMELY SLOW... We only have 1 hour for lunch, and if service is typically this slow, we will never be able to come back here. The waitress kept telling us they only had her and 1 cook working on a FRIDAY... The only people we saw in the entire restaurant were 2 guys and us 10... No one else until later on when we were finishing up. The pulled pork sandwiches and pulled pork nachos were COLD ... But everyone was so hungry and tired of waiting that they ate the food... But I definitely have to post the review here... Since all pulled pork items were cold we all thought that's how it was supposed to be .. We were told later on when they were cleaning up the table (because we asked) that no it was supposed to be hot .. So big issue with that cold food... Luckily it was cooked, it was just COLD... Not even warm... We would have appreciated an apology and possibly credit for next time but nothing was offered... Just simply a statement that yes it was supposed to be hot.. The nachos pulled pork were also cold .. At least the chips were really good. Overall we may come back again, but I have mixed feelings here. If the service is going to be as slow as it was, then we will never be able to come back. Another thing is you need to pay attention to the item pricing on the menu. Some items are ridiculously pricey while others are decent, like the brisket tacos. The brisket was I think $28 dollars with 2 sides and I think that's on the pricey side for brisket. So, if service gets better next time we come, maybe we will make it a regular lunch outing in the office. Give them a try, you might have better luck than us... They do seem to have an outdoor area for live music..

Really awesome pub food and barbecue in a funky environment! The Pork Belly was so good we ordered a second order!

TLDR: Do NOT come here!!! DO NOT waste your time!!! If you want to be treated with respect, go anywhere else. After a long day of family flying out to Miami we wanted to grab a quick, no frills bite to eat close to the Miami airport, and ended up at Woody’s Backyard Grill. We would like to preface the next portion with this: we do not like to throw accusations of racism around lightly so we'll call this an observation; however as a group of 11 who were mostly Asian, we were thoroughly ignored multiple times while other parties of non-minorities got served regardless of their later arrival time. Call it what you want but no matter the reason, the service was horrendous, the manners were unprofessional, and the energy was impolite. It left a very sour taste in our mouths. We were seated outside and requested menus (who even has to REQUEST menus??) and for the TV to be switched over to a specific playoff bball game. We were told to head outside and someone would be right there. It took over 10 minutes to have someone come out with menus and that was after multiple attempts at asking for service. The TV was never changed to the game we requested. We watched as multiple parties were serviced before us and as workers came out and walked right by us. The final straw was when we finally got menus (they only brought them out after we grabbed some from inside after 10-15 minutes of waiting) and they took another 10 minutes to bring out water. On top of that, the waitress was unfriendly. We left before we spent the whole night waiting for someone to take our order. All around a terrible experience and we will never be back.
