Woody’s Tavern

Great staff, excellent food, great adult beverage prices, & happy hour.
The wood fired pizza & salad/​appetizer buffet is one of the best deals I’ve seen around here!
Daily food specials are priced for a tight budget. Wednesday’s $ 5 burger night can’t be beat! Their many dining rooms/​areas allow for several environments different ppl will enjoy.
Very nice back patio, covered, with comfy seating areas.
The bartenders remember you & your usual;)
Dave is the best!

The pizza and salad bar filled me up and it reminded me of sweet tomatoes as well thi place I would recomend

Woody’s caught my attention during their Thursday night wing special. However, the wings are mediocre && the service is terrible. The staff seems to pay more attention to the regulars than to new traffic within the restaurant. We had to wait nearly fifteen minutes to pay out while our server took a smoke break… It was annoying, and I will probably never go back.

DO NOT ORDER the WINGS.
They are ALWAYS DRY and over-​done.
Dive bar with pretty good pie, when it’s fresh that is. Beware of the one that’s been sitting under the lamp when you arrive. If it’s still there when you go up, it’s gonna be chewy.
They do take requests however, and it’s done in a snap!
The salad bar is always stocked and is pretty great. They worked hard to offer a nice selection.
Wait staff is friendly and so are the other regulars.
There are TVs everywhere and the restrooms are clean.
I’d go back because you just can’t beat the price!
I won’t be ordering the wings though!

The first time I went here for late night drinks and appetizers was a really great experience. Our server was delightful — friendly with good advice. The mango daiquiri was sweet and wonderful, the beer selection is pretty good and when I asked for a dark beer suggestion I was not disappointed. The artichoke dip was unlike any I’ve had before. I don’t know if this makes sense, but it was almost… fluffy. And it tasted great!
However, my second trip was pretty lack luster. I went for lunch and opted for the pizza and salad bar. The pizza was alright. Average pizza selection. And the salad bar had quite a few topping selections but they took quite awhile replacing the mixed greens, lettuce, and spinach bins — which were all empty and the only greens option. It’s a little tough to make a salad without… the salad part in the equation. The service this time was less attentive, but otherwise friendly.

With my first visit, Amanda kept the balance of checking on us while not hovering. She was always there when we started to want her. Kudos! The salad bar was stocked better than most pizza bars keep theirs, so that was a pleasant surprise. What really got me was how personable the pizza makers were. They kept those pies coming, too! They kept variety on the pizza bar and asked customers if there was something they wanted that they could make. This was a feel good, eat yummy kind of a visit. Thanks!

The good… the wings with Buffalo Gold were great, the kids loved making their own very generous sized pizzas, great crust, and loved the happy hour beer prices
The mediocre… service seemed very programmed with no actual engagement with customers other then to take their order, the time it took to get drinks and food even though they weren’t very busy.
There wasn’t anything bad but there was nothing that would make me drive across town to go there. There was a large salad bar that looked like it had a lot of options and appeared to be fresh. I think had the wait staff been a little more engaging it certainly would have improved my rating. They weren’t mean or rude, just non-​engaged and appeared to be dis-​interested.

I went here last night for dinner. This place is great for a family that’s not trying to spend too much. The pizzas are pretty good but not gourmet. The price obviously reflects that. The salad bar is what really brings this place together. They have an incredibly large variety and they finish it off with a beer cheese soup.
The service is mediocre at best and is the reason for the star deduction. They need to get the hosts to pick up some slack and fill my drink instead of twiddling their fingers near the front door. I believe it should be costumers then cleanliness for host duties. The cooks are really nice though and are happy to take an request. The Sopapilla like deserts are really good.
If I’m strapped for cash at the end of a pay period this would be one of my options otherwise woodsy goes on the back burner.

Definitely like the ultimate pizza bar and the chicken fried chicken sandwich.
Not a giant fan of the chicken fried chicken dinner, corn and mash were extremely plain and it took a long time to come out.
Definitely going back.

Great selection on food from the salad bar to the fire grilled pizza and everything in between. If you like guacamole this is the place to get it. It has a little bite to it but is always amazing. The salsa that comes with it is too sweet for my taste.
Not sure what’s going on with the wait staff but even when there aren’t very many people it takes forever to get waited on or get refills. Also, the waitstaff isn’t very informed on what they are serving. Every time I ask what soup they have they never seem to know. The waitstaff is friendly but I tip based on the level of service I receive.

I am surprised this place a has 3 star rating on Unilocal.Be wary of anyone who thinks this place should get more than 1 star. The service is nearly non-​existent, and if you watch the managers, you can easily tell that no one who works here cares about their job, the company, or the customers.
I went here a few times recently when we were working in the area. The place was very dirty, the food was far from fresh, and the staff seemed like they didn’t even work there. The last time I was in I was so frustrated that I started yelling at the manager, and he agreed with everything I said. However, as soon as he left our table, he went back to doing nothing and our waiter still was terrible.
Between the stale food and the horrendous service, not to mention the numerous obvious health violations, I am surprised this place is still open. Clearly the Denver Health Department is understaffed as there is no reason for them to allow this dump to continue to operate.

Went with the entire family since my son, daughter-​in-​law and grand-​daughter had just come in from Okinawa.
I had made a reservation for the back room but we had to wait about 30 minutes because there was a birthday party still going on.
Once we were seated, Mason our server was very professional and friendly. I had a birthday voucher for a BOGO free 14″ pizza and the rest of the family either got the all you could eat salad/​soup bar ($ 7.99) or the all you could eat pizza/​salad/​soup bar ($ 9.99). Both were great values and the pizza, salad and soup were delicious.
They also have a great chicken pot pie but on this visit they had run out. We also had $ 5 Margaritas which were yummy!
All in all, a great family get-​together.

Has really went downhill the past 2 times we went there. Very little pizza selection and if you aren’t up there the second the pizza comes out you have to wait quite awhile for a new pie.
Salad bar was a mess out of almost everything and the food was all mixed up.
Loved this place for a long time very disappointed with what it has become. My biggest disappointment was getting the bottom of their beer soup and they never refilled it. So sad that the people in charge don’t seem to care about the customers anymore

Go for the happy hour all you can eat buffet for your fill of pizza and all the salad fixin’s you can handle. Other than that the building itself is rather dated with holes in the seats and a very old school 60s/​70s vibe.

Terrific buffet, with fresh ingredients and tasty soup. There is always an array of pizza selections, too.

Great prices and specials. The pizza wasn’t my absolute favorite, a little too chewy for me, but it was good. And for the price you really can’t beat it.

I like pizza buffets because I don’t like committing to only one kind of pizza. I love that the pizza here is wood-​fired. I do think that’s unique. (Contrary to another reviewer.)
The have daily specials, and the pizza buffet is an even better deal on a certain day. (Tuesday maybe?) Drink specials, too.
The only thing that killed our buzz a bit was that fact that it seemed like a frat party of 30 – 40 year olds was happening right beside us while we ate dinner— a group of people playing drinking games and being pretty loud, but I don’t think they were seated by the hostess there. I think they just stole that table to do their drinking games on because it was a high table. Whatever.

Can’t beat a $ 9.99 all you can eat pizza/​soup/​salad buffet! Plus they have great happy hour prices on their drinks, can get a 32 oz mug of beer for $ 3.50. Plus they have outdoor seating on their patio for those great afternoons!
I also like that they regularly have $ 20 Groupons available for $ 10, can’t beat that deal!
Plenty of TV’s to watch sports, drink some beers, and eat some pizza!

Buffets appeal to two kinds of donkeys; cheap-​asses and lard-​asses. Personally I fit neither category so coming here on a whim was largely exploratory. I’d seen the building plenty of times but was not moved to enter until a friend suggested it for lunch. The service was pleasant and timely. The belt system of ceiling fans is a unique touch and has an old world feel. The interior of this place could use an update, but in a way the pizza parlor feel of yesteryear has charm. But there’s a fine line between grace and grim. The food is not anything to rave about. The pizza cooks were accommodating to requests, the salad bar is extensive, and they have a full bar. I can see how a place like this would appeal to a family on a budget. There is plenty of parking out front and patio seating is available.

This was our second visit for dinner using a $ 20 Groupon. Last time we ordered entrees off the menu and they were meh. Tonight we had the Salad Bar/​Pizza Buffet for $ 9.99 and the food was much better.
We were seated in the very back of the restaurant in a booth. It was actually our preferred seating rather than right across from the salad bar.
The salad bar had the choice of 3 different fresh greens: iceberg lettuce, spring mix, or baby spinach. There were over 40 salad toppings including wasabi peas, sunflower seeds, and goldfish crackers. There were 2 different mystery soups without a label. The salad plates were small. I would suggest getting a larger oval plate at the pizza bar for your salad.
There were about 6 – 8 varieties of pizzas. They were unlabeled. It was difficult to tell which ones had BBQ sauce rather than marinara sauce. There was one pesto based pizza. Many of the pizzas had pepperoni on them. The consistency of the crusts varied. Some bones were well done, others were soft and chewy.
At one point, there were a lot of empty pizza pans and slices of old pizza available. We waited for them to make fresh pizzas. The server told us that we could special order slices if we didn’t see what we wanted, just like another well known pizza buffet chain.
The server took our Groupon and brought our check about 20 minutes into eating our dinner and that was the last we saw of her. No more drink refills, no more clearing of our plates, no more service.
