Woodard Family BBQ & Grill

This is the greatest hidden gem in our state. The food is the best you could ever eat. Ran by a great family. They single handedly are keeping me from fitting my jeans but I can't help it! The food is just so good!

Great service. The Brisket sandwich was delish. The food came out pretty quickly. Place was hoping and food still came out quickly and tastes good. Everything was also very fresh.

Ummmmmmm...SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! (In my Tina Turner voice) I love this place! Love love love. Every Friday is fish Fridays and I will be in the place. The cabbage and green beans are phenomenal. They're my go to sides. I also love succotash when they have it. Now, let me get to this pork chop. I haven't ate a pork chop in sooooooo long and man this was a perfect way to get back in the pork chop game! Delicious!!!! So yummy...frfr. And it's clearly the neighborhood spot, it stays packed! Run don't walk to Woodard Family BBQ & Grill.

I was passing through picking up a boat at Chatlee Marine and stopped for dinner. Wow, you have to give these folks a try. The only thing better than the food was the family. So warm and friendly. Gave me some great recommendations., went with barbecue, beans and okra. Also couldn't pass up the apple cobbler. If your near Sanford you gotta stop in

Love love love this place I could eat this cooking every night for dinner. The fried chicken is amazing, the Mac & Cheese is delish, the collards and the cabbage are both phenomenal, and then they give you fried cornbread that will make your mouth water for more!!!!! Did I mention the fried cornbread?!! Ha it's that GOOD!! They also serve you fried fatback which is good. Matter of fact, we're going there for dinner! I just can't wait! If you like some good ole' down home southern soul cooking, then this is the place to go!! The customer service is amazing. They will keep a check on you to make sure you're good and don't need anything else and if you do they will kindly get it for you. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a very nice family atmosphere where you feel at home. Go get some dinner!! You won't be disappointed:))

Excellent food and amazing customer service. I had the pork chop with Mac and cheese. The fried cornbread was just like what I had as a kid. They are only open a few days a week so pick up a schedule when you go in. I will absolutely be going back.

The building isn't huge but the flavor is!!! If you want real food with real seasoning then give this place a try. Tonight I ate catfish, slaw, green beans and cornbread. Another perfect meal!

Gooood good food! I had fried chicken, collards, and potato salad. Everything tasted amazing.

I have only been there one time, but it was very good and the service was great. The only problem is it never seems to be open when I am off work.

Where to start? Moved my son to NC from Texas and the whole drive we were talking about hitting up a BBQ joint in NC so we could finally get a definitive answer on who makes the best BBQ! The Woodard family restaurant is about 20 minutes from his new apartment so we decided that this would be the place for a BBQ showdown. Short story version, we still cannot decide if Texas or NC had the best BBQ, but we did decide that the Woodard Family restaurant has some of the best BBQ we have had in a long time. Not only was the BBQ absolutely delicious, so was every single thing we had for dinner. My wife had a veggie plate and she found it so hard to decide on only three sides that she ordered an extra one to go with her dinner. Cabbage, greens, bbq beans, and Mac-n-cheese. I hate cabbage and somehow the Woodard family showed me that cabbage is not only ok, it can be flat out tasty! My kids both had bbq sandwiches with fries. I feel like grunts and smiles with a bbq sauce dripping down your chin equal an enjoyable bbq sandwich. Not sure I have seen my 13 year old put down that much food so quickly. I had a bbq and chicken plate. The chicken was so @&^%%* good. So light and tasty. Butter bean and corn on the side. Are you kidding me, who mixes those two things together? Woodard family that's who, and they rocked it. The sizes were huge. Beyond how good the food was, the folks working here are some of the most genuine and helpful people I have ever met. The whole vibe here is that you have been invited to their home for a meal and they are without a doubt the most gracious of hosts. Every single person that came by our table was attentive to how we were doing and if we needed anything else. My son will be here for 4 years attending college and we will definitely make this a stop each and every time we visit. And I know, because this is how they do it at the Woodard Family restaurant, that they will remember us each and every time. Thank you soooo much for making my last night in NC before I drive 1100 miles leaving my son behind so memorable. You made out family feel so much at home with your family.
