The spicebox dish is very good. The shepherd's pie was nice, but a bit high in veggies. The staff were really friendly and nice and we got to sit outside on a nice day. Definitely worth checking out.

Only stopped in to grab a drink and watch some NBA. To my surprise there was fettuccine Alfredo on the menu and took a chance ordering some since I’ve been craving white sauce pasta for the last 2 months. It was AMAZING and exactly what I was hoping for!!!! I will definitely be back just for the Alfredo. The drinks are reasonably priced and the chicken wings and fries were good too :)

Always good to be back at Woodbines. This place has that classic, welcoming vibe that’s getting harder to find these days. Great drinks, solid food, and friendly staff who make you feel like a regular even if it’s been a while. They serve a proper Guinness here. A reliable go-to in LIC that still holds up!

I had the basket of sweet potato fries, and the nachos! The fries were divine but the nachos, not so good! They were really dry and didn't have much black bean or filling! My friend had the short rib grilled cheese sandwich and the fried pickles, OMG, heavenly!! I gave a 4 star for food, but it would have been lower if I didn't taste my friend's grilled cheese and pickles...
