The Woods Restaurant and Bar

Pet friendly patio was a huge plus which is in part why we chose this place. Ourt server was delightful and made great recommendations and brought us a little pup water bowl along with our waters.Food ordered:Onion ringsMacaroni and cheese which is the good old kraft mac n cheese for kiddos.Rigatoni Jambalaya bowlGreek chicken salad with a lot of great vegetables. Green chick peas were tasty.Turkey melt Beet and grapefruit salad. Food selection was pretty decent, but prices were a bit steep. Service was excellent and the deck area was very charming and again, pet friendly which was a huge plus. Great place. Great service!

New place, so wanted to check it out. We decided to have happy hour with friends. We got there look nice. Sat outside at a 8 top. Friendly service, plus the 3 appetizers we had were delicious. We also had mixed drinks plus try out the "You pour your microbrew" Where they give you a card. You go pour your owe beer. They charge by the oz. Seems like a great idea.Just make sure you can pour your brew correctly. You still pay foam. I like the place alot and recommend the Woods. However outside on the far side by the side parking lot. Beware of the walkway. Their is a dropoff. You could fall and hurt yourself. I noticed a few people didn't catch that and stumble. Hopefully management will place a yellow tap to bring attention to the dropoff. Check out the picture. I added text. I will be back for the food.

The old reviews on this place are not accurate. Also, the reviews on The Woods Event Center are also not accurate. This is for the restaurant that is now called B*Merri. First I don't like the name ... ok that is my only real complaint here. They did a really nice remodel of the space and it has a cool up north, cabin, industrial feel that just works. They have a full bar, and a wall of tap beers that you can pour your own samples with a card that tracks your use. This is a fun (but not inexpensive way to try a bunch of interesting beers). I would call the food Gastro Pub, ranging from slightly elevated bar food classics to more refined dinners. There burgers are all good and are pretty unique. I have tried several sandwiches, and liked each of them better than the burgers. The real surprise was a dinner here where the Broiled Walleye was one of the best that I have had and the Braised Short Rib was very tender with a nice Port glaze. Each soup that we have tried has been good and homemade, as are the salad dressings. We will be had to try more things, but wish they were closer since they would become our go to local spot.

Ordered take out ribs fries and slaw. Ribs are ok. Fries were cooked in old stale oil. Bad, bad, bad. Slaw is boring.I will try them one more time. Only will dine in

We came here here on the 21st is March for our 35 th anniversary. We were here about a a month ago and we had the short ribs. They were excellent. So we came back for our special day. The baked potato was huge 6 in long and it was not done and the butter was hard. The short ribs were as good as last time but only 2 ribs not even half the size as the potato for $26 . I had all you can eat special, hard or soft shell tacos. I asked for soft. I received 3 that were grilled crispy. and if I wasted another one it's $2 does that sound like all you can eat??? We were very disappointed!

We had a "celebration of life" weekend for 33 family members coming in from 5 other states the weekend of August 3rd. We used motel rooms, the "house", and had 2 meals catered. They were so incredibly accommodating!!! We loved that they were "dog friendly". The "house" is gorgeous! We actually had our service in the living room (they helped us set up media for the event). We asked for a special recipe our catered dinner, which they made, and was delicious! The food was SO good and more than enough!!We also have gone up there to eat at the restaurant. We love the gorgeous wood interior, but if it's nice we so enjoy sitting on their cute outside patio.You just can't go wrong for any event or meal!!A huge thank you to all of their staff!Marnie and Chuck Whalen

My daughter had her wedding at The Woods in early October 2021. The facility and wait staff were great (this is why I am giving 2 stars instead of one star). However the person who was "in charge" for the wedding was not good. She did not seem interested in making sure things were ok throughout the event. The food was ok, but, it's hard to cut steak without steak knives. Cake cutting, my daughter and her new husband had no plate or forks. Considering the cost, in addition to the meal cost $2,500 for the room (effectively increasing the meal cost by 50%). Plus, the bill had an additional 18% general fee and another 18% gratuity before the event started (36% total). The contract said we could decide on a gratuity, that was a lie. I would NOT recommend this facility for a wedding.

Wow the atmosphere of this restaurant is unique. The wood theme is very creative. We had the bruschetta appetizer and it was so special. An oblong plate offered all kinds of options to put on the French bread. The lobster bisque was creamy and had lots of lobster. I inadvertently left my credit card there and the next day I called and they saved it. Awesome, friendly staff. I love the place.

Our party of 11 ate here July 1st. We sat at a long table outside which was great. Our server was excellent! The food was perfect! We live nearby and this is the first time we have had this level of food and service. I believe Be Merri has new owners and a new chef. Excellent.

Being an out of towner, the woods is a must!!! The vibe is welcoming and so fun and their food is AMAZING! the owners are the best and treat you like family! 10/10 recommend! I will be coming every time I'm in town!
