Woody’s Famous Steak Sandwich has been around since 1954. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that it means I’m expecting good things. We walk in on a Saturday night and there’s no one in the place. While Marcela is trying to decide what to order, I make some small talk with the guy at the register (I’m gonna say he’s either the manager or owner). I tell him that someone had highly recommended Woody’s Famous Steak Sandwich (True) and I ask if they have a website (The answer is no and I already knew the answer to that). Why did I ask something I already knew? I was trying to get him to open up to me and talk about Woody’s. He tells me I can find out about Woody’s on Yelp (already done my research) and how great their steak sandwiches are. I did want to mention he is very friendly as was the dude who cooks our food.
Marcela finally settles on the Philly Steak with Onion and Cheese and a side of Curly fries (my least favorite of the fry family although Tator Tots are catching up). I order the Deluxe Woody Cheeseburger Ground Sirloin and a Chili Cheese Dog. There’s a little condiment area for your Hot Dogs and/or I guess also for your Steak Sandwiches and Hamburgers. 
We attempted to get a picture of it but no one matter what we did it came out blurry. It had onions, jalapenos, you know the usual suspects. The guy who’s cooking is right on the other side of this condiment area making our grub on the flat top. Everything is cooked to order. We receive our food and take a seat. Marcela takes one bite of the Philly and I know that face. It means “Let me try your food” .
She tries my Woody Burger which she instantly falls for. Before I gave up all custody rights to my Woody Burger I had 2 bites. The Woody Burger tasted good but it was nothing out of this world, maybe a little bit above average at best.
I found the Philly Steak Sandwich to be good but also not worth the hype surrounding it. The weird thing it almost seemed as if it was pressed like a Cuban Sandwich. Check out Andiamo’s Philly, it blows it out of the water. The hot dog was Sabrett which I love with cheese sauce and chili. The chili was a little better than what you might find elsewhere. Did I mention I hate curly fries ? I think I might have. Overall, this just seems like a good lunch place with some great prices.

an old staple for us Miamins yet since the hurricane a few years ago not the same-totally different and not worth the stop…Tried it again the other day and again sooo disapointed-it really was a place to drive to now its just another one of those Greasy spoons that you just drive by…
This has changed owner's and is not nearly as good as it used to be. The recent owners are Hispanic, and tend to make their food in a Latin style instead of the original Woody's American style, but they're still a great deal. One interesting menu item was the sweet potato fries, which come with a whipped marshmallow dip, surprisingly good!
