This was my first time at the restaurant. I was told by a few people about the great food and I was very happy with the huge menu, friendly staff and amazing food! I am here for the local dog shows and I definitely recommend the is restaurant. Just amazing all the way around. 😍
I am a big Mediterranean fan but always went to flint or Jerusalem bakery in lansing. Recently I was told about Woody’s and tried it out for the first time 3 wks ago. It was so good that I haven’t stopped thinking about it! Hands-down, the best tabouli, and baba ghanoush I’ve ever had. Today I drove 45 mins to order enough to last me for a few days! Lol Someone please tell me why their stuff is so much better than anywhere else?!
I need the recipes! Lol 😆
First and foremost the food was OUTSTANDING! The spice in the samosas was just right while still leaving the flavor. I wanted a dozen of them but they only had 11, which was fine. They were different than the samosas I had at another Mediterranean restaurant but none the less, they were still excellent. The spicy chicken shawarma was packed with flavor and was a good size portion. I didn't want to stop eating it. The rice was perfectly cooked as well and soaked up a lot of the tasty juice from the chicken. My 2 sides for my shawarma were spicy hummus and Greek salad. The hummus was so creamy and delicious. The salad was very good but I was real shocked when I took my first bite and chomped down on an olive pit. Not so pleasant that's for sure. My daughter got a wrap with spicy hummus and her boyfriend got the gyro. The 2 employees ringing people up were pleasant as well. Woody's definitely exceeded our expectations and I can see a return trip in our very near future.
Woody's has been here for many years. My husband and I enjoyed it in graduate school and enjoyed coming back while we were in town. The food here is delicious. Portions are overly large- easy to split or share.
I love woodys oasis! It’s bright and clean, everyone is friendly and the food is out of this world delicious!
Everything I have ever got b here is delicious, from soup to dessert.
Our food was amazingly delicious, fresh, served hot and oh my gosh, you just have to eat here! We loved everything. Here's what we ordered... Filo Spinach Pie OMG🤩😋 Olive Cheeseburger😋 Mujadara❤️😍😋 Roasted Red Pepper Hummas, which they serve with 2 large folded-up fresh, warm pitas) IT WAS DELISHHHH!😋 2 pcs of the Pistachio Baklava ohhhhhmygoodness ooey gooey deliciousness😋 and to drink we each had a specialty fresh juice concoction- Joel liked the MSU Green Machine, and I LOVED the Lemonade Honey Apple Juice! Jake was awesome at the counter, and he served everything to our table when it was done. ➡️➡️ Only thing I wish: That their credit card/debit card machine was set-up to accept tips on behalf of the waitstaff/folks doing all the work getting it all to the tables or packaging/bagging it all up!!! They only accepted cash tips, and we didn't have any cash on us. ☹️ So, Jake, we remember you, even a few days after our visit. It was our 1st experience at your establishment, and we can't wait to return to eat with you again. And we'll be handing YOU a $10 BILL for our visit on Oct 12th! ❤️ Thank you for your awesomeness. It was my husband's first meal outside of McLaren Hospital for 4 solid days, so your smile and joy meant so much!
Yeah…I know…a 5 out of 5.
But nostalgia and taste really do align with locals when it comes to Woody’s.
If you grew up in the outer Lansing area in the Aughts…it was our first taste of hummus before weight watchers deemed it the healthiest pairing to 0 point options (no dig, it’s true!)
Point being…in my 30 years, Lansing has opened its doors to an incredible tapestry of culinary endeavors I’ve been fortunate enough to witness and taste. I can only hope this is a sign that our community is opening not just its palette…but it’s mind.
I was forutunate enough to be reminded of what an impression Woody’s made on me when I lived in said “Lansing bubble” where Taco Bell was my first introduction to eating Al fresco.
Thank you Marie for reminding me of what an impression and trailblazer woodys has been in my life and our community!…
…and for the extra piece of namoura. ❤️
Although from the exterior, this place looks a little rough, it is well worth the visit. The food and service were great, and even though they were extremely busy while I was here during move in week, the service was top notch. I would recommend coming to Woody’s any time you are visiting the East Lansing area.
Our go-to spot for fresh made Mediterranean food! The restaurant is always clean, and the employees are very nice. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with tropical decor. Awesome place!
Food was excellent but I stood there for a while before anyone acknowledged me. Then, when I told them I needed space for a party of seven, they told me I could put the tables together myself. I am not only disabled, but I had my two year old granddaughter with me and the rest of my party had not arrived yet. A bit inconsiderate, in my opinion.
