Our experience && their food was SO great, we went back for dinner a second night in a row, running into and requesting Chance again because of how well his service was the first night! Thanks Union Woodshop for the great time and great food!!“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“We recently ordered catering for a party and we received nothing but GREAT compliments on the food. We ordered the smoked chicken, pulled pork, and brisket: I truly could rant forever about how delicious and flavorful every meat was, even my most picky eaters loved every bite! For sides we ordered the redskins, Mac & Cheese, and BBQ bean - again, fabulous, flavorful, and perfect. No dollar was wasted.

Working with Denise was easy peasy. From start to finish she made sure our food made it on time, safe, and warm. I would 1000% order catering again from Red Wood and would recommend them to anyone who wants BBQ at their next event!“

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“First time visiting Ignite Tavern and I went because they were hosting a trivia night. Food was excellent and when I asked our waiter, Dave, what he'd recommend he gave me plenty of options to choose from. Then when I asked about the soup he provided me a sample taste and it was so good I ordered a bowl. We were there for about 2 hours and Dave kept coming by to check on us and top off our waters. I will definitely be back again for both trivia and the good food and service.“

“Everything about my experience with Happys was great, including the friendly service, but I always request my pizza to be well done and it hasn't been cooked long enough after 3 visits. Taste, quality, both were a light in the dark places of bad take out pizza ... I have been ordering the 2 x large special for $31.79 out the door.“
