The Woodcliff Restaurant

Let me start of by pointing out the obvious, this restaurant gets good reviews. I am not sure if it is from all the friendly Woodcliff locals who dine here nightly, the ambiance of the rustic brick and lumber building , the friendly staff, or the great food, but the reviews don't line. This is a MUST TRY kinda place if you find yourself anywhere close to Woodcliff Lake. Being that it was our first visiting here, our server Ainsley was very patient with us and gave us time to look over the menu.We both opted for the house salad to start. Very good!!Being that it was Thursday and every Thursday is burger night, we both ordered the house special the " I dip, you dip, we French dip".It's an all beef burger topped with roast beef , grilled onions and Swiss cheese. Served with a your choice of sides and a bowl of as Au Jus .I'm going to go out on a limb here and honestly say that I cannot remember a time that I had a better burger than this.It wasn't all the French dip toppings that made it so memorable, it was the beef patty that was cooked and seasoned to perfection. This lends us to believe that all their burgers are going to be amazing.We will be going back.

Great ambience and amazing selection of food choices! Salmon was excellent with a sweet potato puree. If you're looking for a steakhouse with fine dining in Fremont, Woodcliff is a wonderful choice.

Every time we head back to visit my parents in Fremont we have to go to Woodcliff! I absolutely cannot get enough of their portobello mushroom fries! We also had a couple ribs eyes which were cooked fairly well (I could have had my ribeye more rare, but kind of hard to undo that). Very disappointing that they only do baked potatoes on Wednesday nights. I would think you could be creative with leftover baked potatoes??? The service was excellent per usual in Nebraska! Everywhere we went everyone was so happy and upbeat from the grocery store to the coffee shops. Woodcliff will always have a special place in my heart because of the cool log cabiny feel.

My daughter and I kind of stumbled onto this place. We were starving for really good food on our way home (Norfolk area) from Omaha. You know not fast food but maybe a steak or a salad and she found this while I was driving. It was a little remote you had to get off the highway and drive a couple of miles but man it was worth every second the service was excellent. The food was fabulous. It was the best wedge salad I've ever had!!! I will return!!! Small town Nebraska just kicked LA fancy foods butt

I'm really sad I didn't get to grab photos, because photos are my usual forté on this platform -- however, I couldn't go and not review! FOOD : My husband and I ordered the 8oz sirloin and our friend got the chicken teriyaki dish, and we split some mushroom fries as well. My sirloin was delicious! I loved the flavors and the sauce they used, I also appreciated that their portion sizes didn't make you leave feeling like a glutton. It was the perfect amount of food (although I wouldn't have minded some more veggies!) and the steak was cooked great for me. My husband loved his and although it was a touch fatty, it was delicious and worth getting again. My friend has an obsession with their coconut shrimp, but the menu changes often so it wasn't around this time and she got the chicken teriyaki dish. She gobbled the whole thing up and although it wasn't as good as the coconut shrimp, she seemed to enjoy it! As for the mushroom fries, I'm not huge on deep fried anything - but my husband is and he thought they were good!SERVICE : the service was top notch! We felt so taken care of and they were so kind and overall just downright friendly. It almost felt like we all knew each other! They do a great job of making people feel taken care of and satisfied. ATMOSPHERE : The Woodcliff restaurant is THE poppin place to be for anyone who lives around the woodcliff lake or beyond. It is definitely a hot commodity amongst the lake community, and we got the opportunity to check it out through an invite to go to dinner from one of our friends who live by it. From the outside I wasn't expecting much, if I'm being completely honest I was a little bit nervous that we might be getting food poising from this joint because it didn't have much appeal from the outside. But as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover! The inside is warm and welcoming, a "cabin-esque" ambiance with string lights over the back patio and warm yellow light inside. Everyone seems excited to be there and from what we heard, it's always pretty busy (which is a good thing!). It is definitely not a cheap spot, but I would say you get what you pay for. It truly is a delicious hidden gem that I wish more people knew about!

Had the tuna sashimi last night. $15 appetizer could have been a meal. Some of the best we have had any where. Steak special Wednesday night for $15. Hard to beat. $11 Thursday burger special. So creative.

Great service, great food in a really great location! Sit by the water and have a fabulous meal!

Food was wonderful, service was great, ambiance was good!Visited during winter, imagine during the more pleasant times of year, that this would really be a busy busy place, but enjoyed our evening out bery much.
