Roy’s Crew BBQ

Oh my goodness, probably one of the best meals I've had out in a while. Everything was homemade. And I mean everything. For sides we tried the potato salad, Cole slaw, Mac and cheese, and creamed corn. All of it was fantastic. The brisket and pulled pork were tender and moist. Very very kind and hospitable wait staff. Even tried the homemade ice cream. Yum!!!!!! I will recommend to everyone!

Good atmosphere when you walk in -- friendly, good service. The macaroni and cheese had a nice texture, very creamy, the brisket had a lot of fat but overall good flavor, tender, especially with the sauce. The pinto beans are pretty good, a bit under-cooked but also excellent with the bbq sauce added --chili beans vibe. Good experience, would eat here again

I want to preface this review with the fact that I am a die hard bbq guy from Kansas. The meat was on the bland side, brisket and turkey were tender but not much flavor, in my opinion. Hot links were more like a smoked sausage instead of a hot link, maybe received the wrong meat, but they weren't hot. The beans were a basic pinto bean with a little spice. Coleslaw was good and I would get it again. My wife ordered the chicken strips which were decent chicken strips, mashed potatoes were very good, fried pickles were just "OK". There was something in the BBQ sauce that I couldn't figure out, nice flavor but not for my taste buds. The service was great, everyone was friendly and the atmosphere is what you would expect from a BBQ joint. They do serve breakfast and that's something I'd like to try before I head back to Kansas. All in all I'd give it a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Why have I not stopped before, OUTSTANDING BBQ! Great fast service. Coke products are the best. We had the Teller Trio, Ribs, Sliced Brisket, Turkey, fries, roll and homemade coleslaw. These folks do their Q right. Tender, great flavor with smoke and bark. Another plus is their homemade cobler, today we had blackberry. Closed Mon and Tues! Small lot and street parking. Ohhhh by the way open for breckfast too. Off the main drag - near lumber yard! Make sure you go and tell them Sam sent you!

This was pretty darn disappointing and I hope the pictures show it. The girl up front was incredibly friendly and welcoming, she's awesome. The restaurant is fine, typical bbq setup and everything was stocked nicely.Now the food, what are they doing? Dry burnt brisket that turns to dust when you try to pick it up? The sausage looks like it came from a grocery store package of hillshire farms and thrown on a flat top. The Mac'N'Cheese was curdled and pretty bad, I would have been happier with Kraft Mac. The potatoes and gravy were fine although I would have loved to taste some more spice in the gravy.I really hope the owners turn this around because Woodland could use some amazing BBQ and they have a great opportunity.

As soon as I got into this restaurant it felt like I was in a cabin. I ordered the 1 meat with two sides and it was good but it only came with two ribs I thought it would be more. I ordered the ribs, fries and Mac and cheese with complimentary bread or cornbread. The appetizer that tasted soo yummy was the burnt ends. It was sooo good that I ordered another burnt ends. The customer service was amazing and everyone was super sweet. I loved the look and the bathroom was super cute, it looks like a cabin. The parking is very limited but it's free and its close to the restaurant.

Very large menu, ordered the brisket sandwich and hot links. Hot links tasted like something I can buy from Walmart. Sauce is very basic tasting. Brisket was not super flavorful. Cool vibes in the place, nice staff. Not the best food

Roy's Crew BBQ: Where Flavor Goes to Die (and Sugar Comes to Mourn It)My wife and I ventured to Roy's Crew BBQ with the faint hope that we might actually enjoy a meal out instead of reinforcing our usual mantra: Why did we leave the house when we could have made this better ourselves? After all, sometimes you just want a break from cooking. Sometimes you want to be wowed. And sometimes, you just want to know what it's like to eat meat that has seemingly been prepared in a malfunctioning Crock-Pot by a child with an unmonitored supply of liquid smoke.I ordered the "Tractor Man Sandwich" which sounds like something a burly lumberjack would eat after a hard day of honest work ham, brisket, pulled pork, and hot links, topped with two onion rings. It was described as a huge sandwich, which I took to mean substantial rather than overwhelmingly disappointing. It was supposed to come with a side, so I ordered onion rings. When the food arrived, I looked around for my side, only to have the server cheerfully inform me that the two onion rings on the sandwich were, in fact, my side.Excuse me? By this logic, if I ordered a cheeseburger with cheese, could I also claim that my side was cheese? If I ordered a chicken salad, should I expect the lettuce to be counted as my side dish? I briefly considered launching into full lawyer-mode cross-examination, but I let it go, choosing instead to channel my frustration into this review.The ham? So dry I think it was originally intended as a fire-starting material. The brisket? Equally desiccated, which is an accomplishment in itself. I understand that some places might mess up ham, but a BBQ place should not be able to ruin brisket. That's like an Italian restaurant burning pasta. It's like a sushi bar that exclusively serves fish sticks. Even worse, there was no discernible smoke ring on the meat, making me suspect that the "pit" in this supposed BBQ pit was actually just a slow cooker set on "despair."The pulled pork and hot link were fine. Just fine. The kind of fine that makes you nod politely while internally acknowledging that it has neither inspired nor offended you. But then came the sauce. I use the word "sauce" loosely because what they served was less of a BBQ sauce and more of a liquified sugar bomb, disguised by a deep red color. It had the same complexity as a grade-school cafeteria BBQ "sauce"except, honestly, the cafeteria version had more depth. If this sauce were a musical note, it would be played exclusively on a kazoo.Then there was the bun toasted to the point that it transcended "crispy" and entered the realm of crouton. The bread fought back with each bite, requiring the same jaw strength one might need to chew through old leather. I expected it to snap in half like peanut brittle at any moment.Meanwhile, my wife ordered the chicken tenders, which were apparently such an act of charity that the kitchen tossed in a few extras. How generous! The tenders were thin-cut, maximizing the breading-to-meat ratio, making them a highly efficient vehicle for the same overpoweringly sweet BBQ sauce. Imagine if you took a funnel cake, removed the sugar, added a whisper of chicken essence, and then dipped it in syrup. That's what we were dealing with here.Now, I will say, I liked the atmosphere. It had the charm of an old-school smoke pit eatery minus, of course, any sign of an actual smoke pit. The restaurant motif reminded me of the Road House movie, but without the brawls, mullets, or Patrick Swayze roundhouse kicks to keep things interesting.In the end, this meal reaffirmed what my wife and I already knew: We can make better food at home. If you love BBQ that's been smoked over real wood, that melts in your mouth, and has depth of flavor, this is not your place. If, however, you've always wondered what BBQ might taste like if prepared by an overenthusiastic toddler with a penchant for artificial smoke flavoring, then by all means Roy's Crew BBQ is waiting for you.Final Verdict: One star, for reminding me that bad BBQ is more tragic than no BBQ at all.

The last two times I've ordered pulled pork food to go I got container 1/2 full of fat. The meat is expensive especially when one factors in I'm only getting 1/2 meat and 1/2 non edible fat! I'm electing not to go back to Roy's but instead to bbq shop in Florrisant where they trim fat from your order before packing. It's a bit cheater also I think.

Food is fantastic, humongous portions! But the service is EXTRA! We've been severaltimes and usually all we see are teenage kids or very young adults running the front. But these 'kids' are FANTASTIC! Lovely attitudes, prompt service, extremely friendly and gracious and just GOOD PEOPLE all around. You go into this place and you feel the love!!! Thank you for bringing a moment of joy into every interaction we've ever had with you!!!!
