5 of us went to Woody's and all ordered fish and chips, which were really good. We had a beer, ate, paid our bill and left. That night we thought back and realized we paid WAY too much!!! So thinking they must have just made a mistake we decided a week later to go back for taco Tuesday. We were... More

I was in the local supermarket on the first day of my vacay, and Brandy had 3 cases of beer in her shopping cart at the checkout. I had to ask. Any news about the 'new' location/s? Say hello to Bkln Jimmy, and Brandy.

It comes with French Fries, Salad and the Best of Service. Price is Perfect, Atomosphere is the Best and the Food is... More

If you're looking for the loud-music, dance-party, spring-break Coco, you have plenty of other options within a stone's throw. But if you enjoy the attentive service, intelligent conversation and subtle humour that defines true international pub culture, look no further than Woody's. And there's always good food available when you need it. I'm particularly fond of the wings; different than... More

Okay, so I see a sign that says "the best fish and chips this side of England" so one would really get the idea that this restaurant specializes in this sort of food. So in picking up a quick take out here, I was told that there was a lunch special on fish and chips (inside of me says ~... More

Woodys Menus are printed in both English and Spanish , the prices are qouted in dollars . for ease of service. The staff all speak English and Spanish , sorry but we even have a Canadian waitress as well to help those who may struggle with either language. The special is posted at $12.95 +tax + service. the fish is... More

We stopped here for lunch and since we had been in coco for a couple days we figured it would be compatible to other places. There was four of us and we all ordered salads. No one finished their lunch and we got our bills separate. $40 for two salads and a garlic bread and water. Didn't like the food... More

We remember you and your three pleasant friends well , sorry you were having such a bad time , perhaps as you seem suprised by the prices you could suggest another currency to print on our menus. 10% service is added by labour law here. I see your from deRUDE , hmmm apt perhaps. More

Daughter and husband loved sitting at the bar - comfortable, wi-fi, and street watching. They liked the atmosphere and the friendly staff.

We walked into Woody's one night not knowing what to expect. The restaurant has many levels to sit at. Beers are really cold, average price. I had an order of ribs which were quite good...great rib sauce. My wife had a chicken Caesar which was so so. Caesar salads in Costa Rica are not that good anywhere since you normally... More
