What User doesn't like about Woodies Café:
We ordered fish&chips and clam strips, and got these plates. I could not immediately tell which one was fish. To this date, I still don't know what was inside those tiny pieces. At least the ocean view was nice. View all feedback. What User likes about Woodies Café:
Excellent excellent baked crabs and the shell food tasted normal. Fair price and excellent customer service. The guy wiped the table for us. Huge portions, a plate was enough for me and my Nabeby share, unless you're looking for a huge meal. Great view for the window area. Very recommended this location and will definitely be here again!
