“We wandered in here on St. Patrick’s Day even though the website said they were closed on Sundays. Speakeasy bar in a residential neighborhood with friendly bar maids and locals.To crowded to order food but, I definitely will be back to try the “eats”!Went back last night for “eats “ and had the thin crust pizza, if you’re a fan of this kind of pie as am I this is your place. They have a generous drink pour also. It is now in my regular monthly rotation!“

“Love going to Woody's for lunch or dinner“

“Had a wonderful lunch on outside patio. Sun shining and a nice light breeze.“

“Came here for dinner. The place was packed! Was seated quickly, got one of the last open tables. Had their broiled seafood combo, stuffed scallops, and drunken class. Some of the seafood was overcooked. The clams were like rubber, the broiled plate was okay at best. The stuffed scallops were good. To be fair, I think that they were overwhelmed being the weekend before Thanksgiving. Our server was great but was beyond busy. I do love this place. Brings back memories. I would definitely come back.“

“We loved our salads and soups. I had the tomato bisque and my husband had the French onion soup. Courtney was our sever and she truly stood out for being attentive on a busy Friday night and extremely professional. There was live music and a busy bar scene so not a quiet spot, but a great vibe.“

“Great wedding venue! Great food drinks and atmosphere!“

“Been going to Max’s since I was kid & they were on the Boardwalk. Still the best hot dog I’ve ever had. Also love their crispy onion rings, steak fries, zucchini fries & sweet potato fries. Other menu items look good however I cannot go to Max’s without getting their famous hot dog!“

“great sunshine and sunset“

“It’s a great beach bar w/ friendly folks, good food & cold draft beer!“

“Initially, I searched online for a place that served lobster roll and this place came up, but upon arriving there and browsing the menu, lobster roll was not listed, so perhaps it's only a special on occasion. This place was recommended from our AirBnb host, and the other menu options looked great, so we stayed and had lunch anyway. I enjoyed my Bar A's Brisket Sandwich, which on the menu mentioned came with horseradish sauce and au jus. However, when it came to the table, it did not come with those described condiments, so I had to ask our server for both, and received them quickly with no hassle.
We arrived around 11am and it seems this place has it's regulars. The one positioned directly by the entrance was very quick to offer the four women who walked in some cocktails on his tab. We politely declined the drink and we resumed the rest of our visit without any issues from the other guests. If you like that kind of familiar atmosphere, then I would say they seem open and friendly to anyone who is a visiting patron.
My friend ordered the sliders and said they were the best she's had in her life.
Prices were definitely reasonable.“
