This was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had. The only option at 3:30 on Saturday was their pitiful buffet, even though the white board proclaimed "Good Evening " and listed other menu options. The only meat offered on the buffet was chicken, but no chicken breast to be found. Mashed potatoes were not real potatoes. No gravy offered and only 2 vegetables. Salad bar looked good, but was not cold. The only thing I was able to finish was the iced tea. This inedible feast was $18.75!! My advice is to avoid Woodhouse. Go to McDonald's.

Only buffet style or they weigh by plate and it was very limited in what was offered. Pretty expensive for what is offered and if you want ice cream for dessert you pay extra. The welcome attendant was sweet and helpful. I was just expecting a small town "mom and pop" style restaurant. The chicken they offered on the buffet was awesome though!

Possibly the worst dining experience we’ve had. Took over an hour to get our food. Kitchen staff came out after waiting an hour and asked what we were waiting on with no clue what our order was that our waitress took from us. Once we received our food it was hardly edible with no flavor and cold. This is our second try giving this place a chance with a similar experience the first time.

WOW!! Couldn't believe it... What a transformation from the old Grabill Inn. I got the Cod Sandwich with fries, my wife got the Smothered Chicken with a loaded potato and rice, both meals were excellent. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and easy on the wallet. Heading back soon to try other menu items.

Got buffet. Chicken could have done better. I think they were hurry to get done.Chicken was done. But like mine falling off bone.I have been there before and it was good.I just think people were just rushing a little. My dad was there after me and it was ok.People are all in a hurry know days.

Marv at the Woodhouse, catered food for a Celebration of Life dinner for our family. Marv helped quantify the food for our estimated number of guests. He went the extra mile for us to accommodate food intolerances and the day snd time we needed it. The food was excellent, and many of our guests commented about how much they enjoyed it. Thank you for helping make our family time, I following a loss, very special.
