Absolutely amazing food and service ... If you've never been you should do yourself a favor and go try them out ... Don't forget dessert that Chocolate Eclair is absolute perfection

Yeaaaahhh buddy. I'll tell yew whut this is some bad to the ass barbie Q hell to the Yeah c'mon

This spot compares well with the top quarter of Texas spots, that includes Goldee's, Snows and Cattleack! Excellent brisket, pork and jalapeño cheese sausage! Solid chicken and turkey. The datil sides? Phenomenal! Service was top tier and I was impressed with the quality of food given we came at 1600 on a Sunday! They were out of ribs at that time so I'll just have to come back a time or twelve!

Great customer service. Ordering was super easy and plenty of seats outside. Ordered brisket (fatty), Mac n cheese, and the spicy beans. Everything was flavorful and fresh. I liked the kick the beans had. Can't wait to come back!

An unsuspecting treat! Located off the beaten path in St. Augustine, Woodpeckers is a road side bbq joint that is worth the stop! The staff is super friendly and fast! Upon seating you are quickly greeted and they grab your drink order, followed up your meal. The meal arrived in what seemed like minutes of ordering. The table is filled with lots of bbq sauce options so you are likely to find a flavor that suits your palate! The food portions are large so come hungry! The ribs have a good smoke to them and a nice flavor of their rub or cooking sauce used. Layers nicely with any one of the sauce options. The chicken and turkey are also super tended! You'll also see a lot of datil pepper options on the menu and in the sauces. It's a native pepper to St. Augustine that they use throughout the cooking. Everything was delicious but the main food star was the baked beans! They were simply delicious! They rival a baked bean chili mash up. There are a few different beans and meats in the mix. It's great! Im not even a huge bean person and they are phenomenal! Highly recommend if you are in the area for some quality bbq!

Hostess, April, and the food were fantastic. Only downside is I'm addicted and it's hard to bend down​

Barbecue perfection! Food items all were delicious! The plate meals, whether one meat, two meat, or three meats, were huge. Each portion of meat was like two portions elsewhere. The eight of us who ate there ordered enough different food where by trading amongst each other, everyone got to eat some of everything. Everyone was in agreement of the 5 star rating. The star of the show was their Turkey breast. Several of us proclaimed it the best we had ever eaten - and it wasn't dipped in butter to get it moist. It was cooked moist. The brisket point (fatty) was as good as any of the top Texas joints that we had visited the week before. The ribs were tops also. Full slab spare ribs cooked to perfection. The sides - all were great. The Datil corn was my fave. Datil beans came in second.! Even though Woodpecker's was very busy, the service was exceptional. Ambiance: I expect that many would grade it down to less than 5 stars, but to me the old-nessof the building and the unpaved parking lot just adds to the whole barbecue experience. Five stars straight across the board! If you are anywhere near St Augustine or Jacksonville, DO NOT MISS Woodpecker's Backyard Barbecue!

Woodpeckers Backyard BBQ is literally in the middle of nowhere, but if you are in the area, there is really no reason to go anywhere else. And if you are really hankering for some BBQ, it is definitely worth the drive. The only BBQ in the area that comes close is Monroe's on Highway Avenue. If there is a long line and your party is small, check in to see if there is seating at the counter. I recommend the Ribs, brisket, sausage and pork. They have a wide variety of BBQ sauces but my favorites are hickory and mustard. Lots of fresh, homemade sides and I usually go with the green beans and cole slaw because they are always spot on. The service is very good and if you have room, they usually have a couple of desserts to choose from. I went with the banana pudding. One word of caution, if you show up for a late lunch, they may be low or start selling out of items.

Hidden, delectable, bbq spot in Orangedale! Pros: -fresh food -clean space inside -outside seating available! -takeout & catering available -no fried food options -friendly waitresses -decent prices -can order lunch or dinner portions all day **lunch portion is PLENTY -plentiful parking (but dusty) Cons: Nothing Hints: 1. Show up early in order to have full selection of menu options as when they are out of a side or meat choice, no more is made that day! 2. if you're a born-n-raised Southerner, try the collard greens!
