The Woodshed

Favorite Woodshed food--prime rib ( back in the 80's) escargot in pastry (appetizer)

I am SO glad someone is going to try to resurrect the look and feel of the Woodshed and we will certainly be among the first to try it out.

Pretty cool that they are moving an entire barn to the site.

All I can say is ditto Cate, except I liked the "skip and go naked" drink, I can't remember what was in it, but I never was arrested for drinking it. Of course I had a better body back then.

My wife and I loved that drink. Vodka, beer and lemonade according to many of the recipes available via Google!

Oh the memories.... After almost a whole lifetime of visiting the Woodshed, I was saddened to learn of the fire. Rough few years for the place, between the 'failed' interim owners and then its total loss.
We always looked forward to the great service & comfortable atmosphere as much or more than the food.
Escargots and artichoke dip followed by prime rib was always a favorite standby. Rarely room for dessert, but if I had to choose it would be the denver chocolate pudding.
Not holding my breath that the replacement will be a real replacement.

Oh, I think you should be more optimistic. The new owners are going to capitalize on the fact that they are going to initially see former Woodshed clients and they will do everything they can to keep them coming back. Starting with bringing an old barn onto the site, is the first clue that they will strive to make the atmosphere as close to the original as possible.

I agree Pineneedles! The new owners are taking a full year to get the new (old) restaurant in place. The owner has experience reconstructing old buildings and he was a longtime customer of the Woodshed so he knows about its shortcomings. Further, he has been involved with countless real estate deals and he has tracked down the old owner for her input. I am very optimistic.

I agree with you and I will be there to welcome them when they get opened

Southern Comfort, Amaretto, and pineapple juice.

This seems closer to what I remember. The beer, vodka, lemonade didn't seem right.

Happy Gourmand · 10-14-2014, 08:24 AM

All the recipes on Google come up with vodka, beer and lemonade. That sure doesn't seem like what the Woodshed was serving as their version.
Southern Comfort, Amaretto, and pineapple juice sounds more like it to me. Any old Woodshed employees care to chime in and clear this up?

I definitely think that beer and vodka could make you skip and go naked. Beer alone does it for me.

I'm not a drinking man so maybe that's why I never thought that the Woodshed was that good of a place to eat.
I guess if you get numbed up enough their food taste better.

Rusty, I think you should replace your G.W. quote with the following:

"Lips that taste wine, shall never touch mine."

I don't know about the Fat guy but for me Mcds comes in handy once in a while. The Woodshed just didn't appeal to me but I guess many people liked it and will go their if and when the new one gets built.

After hearing about the orange slime in McD meat, I will not set foot in Ronnie's house, but I will takeout the $1 coffee. Taste a heck of a lot better than DD.

You might want to rethink the McD coffee.

I drink a lot of McD's coffee. I get it with the cream and equal on the side. I add it all in myself. That guy finished his coffee before he found the dead mouse. Didn't it taste a little funny?
