Woody's Country House - Blakeslee

Stop by those little 'Mom and Pop ' places you see...Restaurant, country store, antique shop, farmers market, roadside stand...They will surprise you almost every time. There 's a little place not far from the Pocono Racetrack, Woody 's Country House. If you 're hungry, stop by. I stopped in for lunch today, after driving by the place dozens, if not more times, on my way to somewhere else. I ate one of the best burgers I have had in a very long time. It was as near to perfect as any burger could be, and I 'm a pretty good cook. The burger was hot and fresh, as well as the fries. Timing to the table was perfect. I did not see the grill, but the taste was 'fresh off a charcoal grill ' Their menu is much more extensive than burgers, but, if they put that much care and thought into 'just a burger ', I 'd eat everything else.

So glad Woody's was open! We called ahead for pick up. Waited for a few minutes but it wasn't too crowded so I felt safe. I ordered the salmon New Orleans with garlic linguine. Still nice and hot when we got home. Great flavor on the salmon. Husband had cheese steak special with onion rings. All gone must have been great! Thanks for being there in a pandemic when I am sick of cooking! Service was wonderful.

Food was very good. I got fettuccine with scallops and shrimp. My friend got a veal parmigiana that was out of this world!! Service was good and the dining room was relatively quiet. We could talk and joke without effort.

Got seated right away. Got our menus and waitress took our drink order. Two waters as it was our first time here and we wanted to focus on the menu. Waited and watched two other tables get seated. Then they both got their drinks and placed food orders. I watched as one table got bread and another got drink refills. For almost thirty minutes we sat waiting for our water let alone someone to take our order as other tables around us were being taken care of. Place looked nice and clean. Menu sounded tasty but we decided to go somewhere else since we didn't know how much longer we would be waiting.

Wings were tasty and cheesesteak was very good. Cold beer. A little on the steep side for the area but would go again for sure
