The food here is some of the best around! They make take-out orders that are quick and convenient for last minute lunch or dinner options. We have also used them to cater one of our small family get-togethers and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the brisket and the homemade chips. My wife and I love going on date nights here. They’ve got a cozy seating area inside, as you’re hit with the smell of smoky bbq the second you open the front door. They have a wide selection of drinks but we mainly enjoy the whiskey/bourbon selection they have. We’ve gotten to know Joe (owner) and he is a great guy who is also a volunteer firefighter for the local fire department. Give them a try next time you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed!
Go for the barbecue, stay for the bread pudding! Everything was delicious
We ordered the smoked chicken platter and a smoked turkey platter with 2 sides. The turkey is better than the chicken. The two sides were side salads and vegetable medley. The side salad is a good portion. The vegetable medley was a bit salty. Had the raspberry chocolate cheesecake for dessert and it was okay. Would not order again. Overall, enjoyed the visit and will come back to try the burgers.

What a gem. Had business about 20 mins away, and it was highly recommended. Try the redhead nachos, listed as an appetizer, but is more than a meal. Friendly server, too!

As much as I love the food at the Wooden Tie, the main reason we go there is for their wonderful salads. However, this last visit we ordered a large salad, the salad dressing was so watered down I could not eat it without splashing the dressing all over me. It just ruins a salad when the dressing is so watered down. If we do visit The Wooden Tie again, I will take my own Ranch dressing from home. Eating out is just too expensive to ruin great food like that.
Great smoked meats, amazing service, and a great atmosphere all at a price barely above fast food.

My family and I love The Wooden Tie! Amazing food and, great atmosphere, and we LOVE the owners! I had food catered for a part of my wedding from them and it was phenomenal just as I was expecting! All of our guests were raving about their sliders and salad!! Could not thank them or recommend them enough! Thank you!!
The brisket was extremely dry.

Phenomenal. I cannot remember when I have had better brisket, or a better overall meal. Prices crazy reasonable. A time travel trip back to a time when everyone knew everyone, and you were greeted with a smile even when you were a stranger. Make a trip to experience this special restaurant. Ask for Mary. She is the best.
