“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.”

Chicken Wings • $
“The dining and the atmosphere were exactly what one may expect from a fast food restaurant. It was moderately clean and the food was no less than my expectations of fast food chicken wings. However, the young man that took our order, Max, was exceptional. His sincerity and dedication to insuring that our dining experience was great was above and beyond most experiences over the last 15 or so years. My commendations to Wing Stop for such an excellent employee. Terrific attitude and fantastic customer service. Thanks for a pleasant meal.”
