Trying to order was a joke. Server was nice but clueless. We tried ordering and they were out of most steaks and BBQ options. The food was warm and bland. They forgot ingredients on 3 out of the 4 meals, are you kidding me? The worst was a server who wasn't even ours we caught taking fries off the plates and eating them before the food went out, Disgusting. Way overpriced as well. Very disappointing. Do better guys, the potential is absolutely there!

We love Woodfire in Dundee. Christian was our server. He remembered us from months ago and knew what we ordered previously! The atmosphere is lovely, service is great, and food is made from scratch! It’s our go to!!

The people that work there are very nice.The server was very attentive.The place is clean.. The food leaves a lot to be desired!! The BBQ ribs taste boiled with alot of generic BBQ sauce. No smoke flavor at all. The corn bread is mushy, the baked beans were ok, and the brisket was meh... even the french onion soup was subpar. My son ordered the chicken mushroom pasta and it was dry and flavorless... OVERALL, nice place but food was very disappointing.

The hubby and I stopped by on game day, drawn in by the aroma of smoked meat coming from the smoker outside. Surprisingly, the parking lot was nearly empty—and so was the bar inside. We grabbed seats at the bar, where only two other guests were seated. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. The bartender seemed more focused on chatting with the other couple than acknowledging us. When she finally did, she walked away again before taking our order.

We asked for simple, two-ingredient drinks and menus. The drinks were small and underwhelming, and the laminated menus were sticky and splattered—clearly not cleaned between uses.
As we looked around, we couldn’t help but notice the smudged glass doors and windows, which only added to the overall unclean feeling of the place. If this grime is customer facing, what kind of stuff is going on in places we can't see?

We decided to cut our visit short and not order food. Even paying the tab took longer than it should. We are not sure why, but it looked as though the bartender was struggling with the register—so add faulty equipment or untrained staff to the mix.

Unfortunately, despite the promising smell of BBQ, the experience inside was disappointing—from the service to the cleanliness—this place was just gross.

Like going to a rustic lodge with a great country feeling.

Horrendous service, tiny drinks at the bar, bartender left and came back 3 times and finally asked what we wanted. Food menus were gross, windows everywhere had prints all over them. There was next to nobody here, we should not have wanted to walk out in 5 minutes. Ridiculous.

Very bad experience. The server was slow. It wasn’t busy. The food was AWFUL. And lukewarm. My sandwich appeared microwaved and the lettuce was brown. My husbands smoked meatloaf looked and tasted awful. Nothing about this meal was okay except we were hungry so we ate some. Don’t waste your time.
