The Woodshed Diner

I am so disappointed.
This is the second time an allegedly soul food place in the Clarksville, Tennessee area has let me down.
The lady I guess was the owner seemed nice.
There were also two other elderly women helping out in the kitchen.
When I walked in one was coming out the bathroom and didn't wash her hands and went straight to the refrigerator.
I don't care to make negative reviews but I will let others know MY experiences to keep them from wasting money or going through what I did.
I ordered 3 plates.
All were horrible.
I sat outside in disbelief forcing myself to try to eat my plate & I just spent roughly $48 for nothing.
I tasted my plate which was baked chicken, chicken dressing, and Mac & cheese with cornbread.
The chicken had no flavor and seemed old as well as everything else.
The dressing was cold like it came out the refrigerator and wasn't properly heated enough.
The cornbread was flat like a pancake but it was okay.
The Carmel cake wasn't good seemed store bought and dried out...didn't taste like the typical Carmel cake..
My husband had the $17.50 chitterlings plate which is one of his favorite dishes but he didn't eat it at all...he said it was horrible with no seasoning and rubbery...they did look very dry.
My children had the catfish plate with cabbage and mac & cheese...the cabbage didn't have a drop of seasoning.
The fish didn't look like catfish but tilapia.
I literally wasted $48 because we didn't eat any of the food...Where I'm from soul good is cooked the SAME DAY!!!! There isn't any saving it for the next day.
Customers can tell the difference.
This taught me a lesson to cook my own food or could have easily gone to Golden Coral...And before anyone replies to my comment this is my experience and would you have given all of my money back?! Never again... Edit to respond to the owner: Whether you consider this slammed or not is your opinion like I gave my opinion on this visit.
This is money I lost.
And I don't care If you been in business 60 plus years then you should know if the food is old and how it should be served.
Golden Coral food does have season to it.
The lady came out the bathroom stating that the toilet water is constantly running the one that's on the same floor as your kitchen.
It's only so big in there.
Plus there is another person who in the reviews who also had a bad experience with the chitterlings as well...
for people who are viewing my review please look at the lunch basket located in Greeville, Mississippi on Facebook or Google...look at the pictures and you will understand why I know how soul food should look and taste....

There’s not one thing to dislike about this place.
Visiting from out of town we decided to try this place.
The Food is delicious! The people are amazing even other customers were great….
Generous amounts of food in your order for great pricing.
If you’re in the area or passing by this is a must have

It's a fine substitute if you no longer can get that old school cooking that grandma used to make! The selections of meats and sides are ample.
And everything is reasonably priced.
A little more to be desired on the seasoning of the cabbage.
But that's my only drawback.
Whenever I'm in the Clarksville area and have a taste for some good comfort food; Woodshed will be my go to.
Oh, and for those that indulge; chitterlings are on the daily menu.
Sorry I didn't add a photo; but food like that don't sit uneaten for long!🤣
