Woodpile BBQ Shack

"The cashier had a big smile and was very polite. The store was clean and well maintained. The only reason I give it a 4 is because the food was good, just not 5 star good. Also, small portions for the 2 meats. Everything else was nice."

"Found myself in Clawson today at lunch time. Found Woodpile with Google. I ordered the weekday lunch special for $12.95 - one meat, one side and a pop - and got a second side becauseI couldnt decide. Still under $20 with tip. The lady at the counter was very pleasant and possessed an honest sense of humor and wore a smile the whole time. One bite of the brisket, before sauce and without the bun, and I knew I'd be back here. Perfection in three thick slices carefully laid on the bun. Moist, tender, almost falling apart. Then I tried the mac & cheese. Another hit. I wish I could make it half as good. Noodles are perfectly cooked, the sauce is almost decadent in its flavor and delightfully creamy. The coleslaw. Among the best I've ever had. It has actual flavor. Not just some cabbage & dressing, there is thought behind this side. Multiple vegetables with just a hint of cayenne (?) & maybe horseradish. Not hot, just seriously tasty. Even the corn bread, wrapped in foil, was moist, sweet, delicious. The tables built around barrels are cool, as are the "live edge" high tops. There is outdoor seating as well for the non-winter months. They have carry-out as well. Like I said before, I'll be back. Having recently moved from Tampa area, I have to try the Barbe-Cuban sandwich to see how it stacks up."

"Had some really good BBQ here. Definitely worth attending just several other BBQ experiences rank well above it in my experience. Price is fair and service was very good. Great music and nice outdoor seating."

"A bit disappointed in this one. Staff is good and friendly. Building is clean an food comes quickly at a good price. Had parking on location. Tables were outdoors and the whole restaurant smelled of smoked meat making for a great atmosphere. The ribs I got were a bitty fatty but tender enough. Cornbread was heavenly. Warm, soft and fresh without chunks of corn in it. Sauce was really tasty."
