Ok, I will admit I am a barbeque snob. I come from a long line of barbeque masters and I find a lot of local barbeque places lacking, but.... I continue to look for places that will impress me. So today, while out with the kids, I was looking for a healthful place to have lunch. I know, I know, you say "Barbeque healthy?", but you can make healthy choices. So anyway, I convinced my kids to try out Woody Creek Bar B Que on Green Oaks. As you walk in you see a large menu where you can make your selections while waiting in line. I was happy to see a kids menu, but it was typical kid fare... chicken nuggets, corn dog nuggets, hamburger, and, the only exception, a BBQ sandwich. Liam instantly went for the ribs which comes with two sides, Remy chose a hamburger, and I was interested in a salad. Now I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce. In fact, and you can blame it on my pregnancy with Liam, I abhor shredded ice berg lettuce. So, I asked in advance what kind of lettuce they use in their salads and I was happy to hear they use green leaf lettuce. I ordered a large salad with a barbecued chicken breast. Once I filled the kids drinks, I made my way over to the condiment station. My girls LOOOOOVE their pickles, and since Remy can't eat bread, she loads her hamburger patty with pickles. I was thrilled to see that along with the usual barbeque condiments they had raw carrots and ranch. This is one raw veggie all my kids love, and I have never encountered it on a condiment station.
Once our food was ready I brought it to the table and watched the kids dig in to it. Liam didn't want his sides, so Adin took over the french fries, and I tasted the red beans. The french fries were fresh made and perfectly seasoned. Both Adin and Remy loved them. The beans were also seasoned well. My Daddy makes the best pinto beans ever, so this is high praise coming from me. Remy's hamburger looked like a fresh hand made patty and she enjoyed it thoroughly. My salad was made with fresh lettuce, not prepackaged in a bag. It came with cucumber, bits of red cabbage, and shredded cheddar. The one thing I didn't care for was all the croutons, but they were easily picked out. They serve Newman's own dressing in a package, which was fine. The chicken was the best part. It was juicy and slightly smoky. It complemented the salad perfectly.
So all in all, out of 5 stars I would give it a solid 3 1/2 stars. The barbeque was great, everything was prepared with care, and most of it was freshly made. I would definitely visit it again. Try it out and let me know what you think!
