Don’t miss out on their legendary hot dogs, irresistible pepperoni rolls, and the old-fashioned charm that makes Woody’s more than just a restaurant — it’s a cherished community landmark.
We stopped by on the way through to grab a couple of hot dogs. I had heard Woody's had pretty good WV Hot Dogs (I live in NC now and don't get a chance for "good" WV hot dogs very often). I was not disappointed. The chili (or sauce, if you will) was excellent and it is offered in mild, medium, and hot. And man! They were ready in a flash! Neat old diner vibe inside, with lots of photos from local sports teams (and some maybe not so local). Unfortunately, we just grabbed my stuff to go, and won't be in town long enough to come back and tray anything else here but that is definitely my loss.
Love this place. Great hotdogs with the best sauce. I prefer hot! Pepperoni rolls available with cheese or sauce. Service is fast even when they are busy, which is most of the time. Seating gets limited at lunch time so be prepared to get it to go.
Great experience! Service was extremely friendly and quick. Food was great, hot has a bit of a kick which was nice. 11$ for 4 dogs with sauce and kraut is a great deal!
