I've passed by for years but never ate here. Man I've been missing out (at least on the breakfast). Just sayin' you got to try the chorizo burrito breakfast, it is delicious. The restaurant was nice, clean, and generally a good atmosphere while the service was average. Everyone in our party agreed the food was very good, so I'd recommend it.

I've spent many a good morning at Woody's Diner. I do miss their Hawaiian omelet, which was my go-to order until they removed it (probably due to lack of demand). At other times I'd sample around their scramble dishes or Florentine Benedict. The coffee is A-OK. This place is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; I haven't tried the latter two, but I'd imagine they compare to the quality breakfasts I've enjoyed here. Service is marvelous too. Looking forward to coming back.

Checked out Woody's on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm, and the place was empty, so choice of seats was ours. Only a few more people trickled in after us. My Chicago Dog was on point...and definitely recommend. The kids pizza was laughable (cheese only on half of it), but my kid liked it anyway. My husband said the hamburger was a decent diner burger. The restrooms we're in need of a serious cleaning. All in all, about what you expect for a diner.

Classic diner spot that's great for breakfast / brunch. I had The Woody omelette which was excellent. Plus they brought my son's chicken fingers in an awesome car shaped box.
