Woodies Diner
your comments review this restaurant
I ate here in Feb 2010.
Staff were friendly, service was fine although they did serve a couple that arrived after us, before us.
Food was lovely but way overpriced.
2 adults, no starters, 2 drinks each, main course, no pudding = £40!
Wouldn't bother going back as i can get food just as good elsewhere for a much cheaper price.

I think that that Woodies is the most over priced and horrible restaurant my family and i have ever eaten at. The food is overpriced, the staff rude and nasty and the over all ambiance is one of getting as much money off the customer as possible with minimal effort. My family were kept waiting for over an hour and even then they got the order wrong and the chips were cold, my children were practically in tears when one of the staff was rude to us. My friends have had similar experiences.

Reading the first very poor review i was completely shocked! My family and I eat at Woodies regularly and have had nothing but excellent food and service!
You will often find a queue at the door, but the waiting reflects how popular Woodies has become.
Its child friendly, and has a fun atmosphere with the neon lights and surfing decor.. including regular showings of Grease on the flat screen!
Id recommend the Baja Chicken Enchiladas and old fashioned style soda for drinks.
They are open for breakfast, so for a treat and something a little different you could try a breakfast burrito or pancakes!
Id advise everyone to visit Woodies, its a little gem on the Hove seafront :)

Went there for Brunch on Sunday and it was the worst experiance. The staff were compleatly incompitant and rude even though there was at least 7 of them and it wasn't busy. They made us stand for 15 minutes in the corner while they cleared a table. We eventually had to ask again if we could sit down. We waited another ten mins for a menu, had to go and get it ourselves. We had to go up to the counter again to order our food. The man behind the counter looked at me like a piece of rubbish and told me that he was a bit busy at the moment.... 5 minutes later he was sat down himself eating a fry up. When the food eventually came i ordered chips and beans. There was approximately 12 chips and a spoon full of beans. I then ordered some white toast. It arrived after 15 minutes (i again had to ask for it again and it was stone cold and brown). Without doubt the worst meal ever. They even got my bill wrong and charged me too much. Unfortunately service WAS included....
I haven't even mentioned everything here....it was terrible!

Just been to Woodies and found the food top notch and not even an air of the bad service reported by others. Will definitely be going back again - the best burgers I've eaten in/around Brighton, huge portions and a great chocolate milkshake. Would've loved to have tried dessert too but had no room left to fit it in!

Not a pleasant experience, live in Brighton and use Woodies tonight, burgers very dry and overcooked, waiting staff have not got a clue.
Very poor service, and dry, tasteless food... wont be going back

This is the place for Burgers in Brighton, we regularly eat there with the kids and on our own in the Evening where a more relaxed atomosphere can be found.
We have always found the food top notch, yes there is a slightly longer wait than usual for some restaurants but this you will find is due to all the food being cooked fresh which is pretty rare nowadays at this level - I would rather wait a little longer and soak up the Happy Days vibes than be served double quick a plate of precooked rubbish. My only complaint is the portions are too big....

I have visited this restaurant several times and whilst the food is always of a good standard in previous visits the extremely slow service has put me off returning. However, when we decided to give it another chance on Sunday we were pleasantly surprised. There was a big increase in the number of waiting staff and our waitress was attentive and polite. Obviously the management have taken notice of customer feedback, long may it continue!

Walked there from Brighton, on one afternoon of my holiday (3-4 miles), to work up an appetite. Loved the decor, 10/10 for effort in replicating the American Diner look and feel, waitresses were smart and friendly.
Went for the Hummer, Double 8oz cheeseburger, with Frings (Onions and Fries). This was a massive horizontal stack of pure beef, but very tasty and overall excellent quality.
In context, slightly expensive, but worth splashing out on a special occasion for the uniqueness of the place, and authentic food.
