I found Woodlands in 1982 when I started ASU & my husband & I still eat there every time we go to Blowing Rock. The food is excellent & I love the atmosphere! If you're a uptight person that looks down your nose at us "common folk"--stay at home.

With the amount of restaurants in this area, I am surprised this place is open. In short, the waiter, dressed in short/tshirt/ and FLIP FLOPS acted liked he just woke up from a college party and couldn't say "You're welcome". Cold quesadilla for my daughter and my sliced "bbq" was more like sliced by a machine and warmed in the... More

My husband and I ate this BBQ restaurant recently. The chopped pork comes without sauce, therefore i feel that it should have some kind of smoked flavor prior to adding the sauce. This pork had NONE! it tasted like a plain baked pork roast that had been cut up (without even the benefit of salt and pepper) There are two... More

I have been to most of the BBQ places in the High Country and I can only say its the best! Value for $ is excellent! Yes you eat off a plastic plate but who cares with this yummy taste. The fun part food is consistent what you can not say about 99% of the restaurants in the area! Sundays... More

We stopped by because we just love BBQ, could smell the love from out on the highway. It is a down to earth place that you would expect to see all your family sitting around eating and enjoying. I do a lot of smoking in the summer (we are in MI) and have eaten BBQ all over the country. This... More

Our student brought us here in the Fall for the first time and we've come back several times since. The food is good (I like the pork spare ribs) and priced well. I am not impressed with the wait staff, but I don't go there to make friends with the workers. We have to try seating in the lower level... More

Had lunch there with the family and was not disappointed in their food. Service was good and the atmosphere is what you would expect from a barbecue pit. Wife and I had their Chopped Beef barbecue and was very pleased with the tenderness and flavor. One son had their Turkey and it was very tender and flavorfull. The other son... More

We had regularly eaten at Woodlands 19 years ago, when we lived in Boone and always loved it. But our food on this trip back was nothing special. Some things were overcooked or had suffered from to long in the heat window. But it is a good family restaurant, convenient to Blowing Rock. We may have just hit it on... More
