Japanese • $
“Went through drive through, was greeted by a nice young lady, unfortunately I did not get her name, she had 2 half colored hair and was very well spoken, on my receipt it said Taylor, but I’m not entirely sure if this is her. Long story short, great communication and very nice small comments always goes a long way. Especially when someone is having a rough day like I was. That really improved my day, her energy was addicting, just like the food!”

“You can depend on Timberwoods for delicious food all the time, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is not fancy but it is clean and comfortable. The restaurant business is more than challenging and serving three meals a day adds it own challenges but Timberwoods hold its own and has a wide custromer base. I've never had less than a great experience here.”
