The service was on point from the second we walked in, hostess greeted right away, seated immediately, waitress came right over, and we watched the entire kitchen work and loved how the expo was very detailed in double checking every order. This was the freshest wedge salad I've ever had, and the Mac was delicious and made me wanting more. Lots of seating options along with a large bar. Great job, Westwoods.

While visiting family here Fresno, I came out to try westwoods. The atmosphere was nice and dime, not to crowded. I ordered the brisket burnt ends with a side of mac and cheese and mash potatoes. The food was really good, meat was tender. Would definitely come back.

In town visiting family and this place is always a go to for my dad. Each time I've been here I left satisfied. The meat is cooked perfectly and all the sides are so good. I especially love their potato salad! Service is always prompt and attentive.

Our server "Day Day" was absolutely amazing. Great personality, friendly smile, quick response and genuinely an all around kind person. He was quick to get us our drinks and kept them full the entire time. When he took our food order he was accommodating and very willing to answer our questions. His timing on checking in on us throughout our dinner was impeccable. The service he provided for us and the tables around us was a perfect 10. He truly made our night out wonderful. My husband watched him interact with his co workers and said "he is a really great guy. He's kind and considerate to the people he works with." The food was just as ordered, delicious and well presented. As always the ambiance is welcoming, clean and lively. Day Day, thank you for a great time and the excellent service! We will be requesting you on our next visit.

You can smell the bbq from miles away and when you follow that trail of pure meat smoke, you will find yourself to this delicious restaurant. My lady and I went here for Valentine's Day and had their special menu items for this amazing day and did not disappoint. The staff was super welcoming and our waitress was a joy to serve us. She managed to keep up with the soon to crowded restaurant and even had fancy gel pens for us to write our check with. Love it! The food was delicious and the bbq was a god send. The prime rib was smoky, soft, and juicy with the trimmings just melting like butter. My lady had a mixed plate of half chicken, all beef sausage, brisket, and ribs. Fall of the bone and moist ribs and I got to try the brisket, so soft and tender yet held its integrity.

Whoever reviewed this place and said that the service was bad was very clearly "capping" It was a very packed night at Westwoods but we still got absolutely phenomenal service, my party got seated 15 minutes ahead of the projected wait time and we were greeted with smiles by all the wait staff as we entered. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice & warm, with good music and warm lighting around the place. Our waitress got to us with napkins and utensils within 2 minutes of us being seated, and she took our orders within 10. Our food got to us within the next 15 minutes and by God was it good! I got the burnt brisket ends, a house specialty, and absolutely cleaned my plate. Don't even get me started on the dessert. PHAT slice of carrot cake and man is it good. And top it all off, as we were getting leaving the restaurant, each waiter we passed by thanked us for coming with a warm smile. LOVED my time at Westwoods and will be coming back when I'm in the area.
