Absolutely loved our foods. Both sandwiches were delicious. Staff were super friendly, helped pick out what to order and were spot on! Groovy casual spot, chill ambience, can be for a more chill or fancier dinner which is great

Came to grab a quick bite with a friend. I got the chicken tenders and brussel sprouts Tenders were a bit greasy, but brussel sprouts were good. Staff was kind. Ambience was like part sports bar, part diner. Good for large groups. Big restaurant with lots of seating!

It's good we stopped for brunch staff was nice a little slow considering it wasn't very busy at all. The dishes came out delivered by someone different than our server. No big deal just noticed it, omelette and egg dishes were good. My kids really liked the churro waffle. The restaurant clean and well lit. Priced fine I guess it's a Mexican angled menu but we had brunch. But seems to lean that way. Nothing was spicy. It was good if go back if I was in the area, but wouldn't travel across the state for it.

Glad I tried this place ! Had a small basic breakfast,came with scrambled eggs- 1 sausage-1 piece of bacon large amount of some really good potatoes with a bit of kick to them. Tasted like homemade wheat toast. Shared 1 piece of banana foster French toast- was excellent,as was service. Added in mimosas and bill was still reasonable. A free carry out of chicken wings, for signing up on website look great also

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALEXIS! I was pretty hungry, a bit tired, more than thirsty and super glad to find Dogwoods. It's not where you expect to find it yet it's so worth the search! The menu is very diverse and super fresh. I love the local draft beer selection as well, Dogwoods really represents! The restaurant is bright and open, I even saw a person on crutches navigating their way into the restaurant pretty easily. High marks for the layout!! The service and attention was amazing, Alexis helped me find a great beer and a perfect snack to re-fuel me after a day of retail therapy. I enjoyed my stop - rocked out to the playlist - and wanted to share this hidden gem with others!

I came here with my family for my sister's birthday dinner. I called ahead of time for a party of 8 and they said they could accommodate us. So rare nowadays. It was a Thursday night & pretty slow but the place was great. The place was all decorated for Halloween and there was a live musician. We were seated fairly close to him and that's not really my family's vibe so if you don't like that I would recommend sitting on the covered patio or farther back in the restaurant. We ordered three apps -- the calamari, the DW nachos, and the steak tips. All of it was delicious. The calamari portion could have been bigger, but it was so so good. Soon after the food came out & I ordered the creamy bourbon chicken, which I highly recommend. The short ribs were also fantastic. But I think the fam favorite was the zip sauce pasta -- perfectly creamy, not too strong of a zip sauce or mushroom flavor. I would recommend skipping the burger, it was ok but not bad by any means. My fave of the night was the elote flatbread. I would order it as an appetizer next time!! At the end of the meal they brought out a dessert, it was ok honestly. But they brought it out on the house for the birthday girl. Our waitress was so kind and attentive to detail. Another plus for me: they had coke produts!!! Highly recommend this place!

Wow...I was scrolling through my check-ins and realized I did not write a review yet. Well, here is how our first visit went - we've been back at least 8 times since our initial visit 8 weeks ago! Our favorite time to come is brunch on Sunday's. Hubby likes the Chiliquiales with barbacoa or black & blue burger. I'm a fan of the BLT&E bagel (plus add smoked salmon) or sushi stack. Burgers are good too. Pretty much everything I've had I have really enjoyed. The servers are great - quick to bring refills and even say hi if they are not your server that day!

Friendly staff. Had reservations and sat on the patio. Food was good. Ordered cocktails and that was a disappointment. For the price of the straight whiskey that I ordered I felt I received a very short pour. Overall I like this place and will return but not have any liquor.

What a super cute place. The ultimate chicken sandwich was 10/10 and I had the Pinot beans as a side. Delicious drinks !! Service was fast and friendly. Brownie Sundae was delicious!! If ever in the area again we will try again!

We went to Dogwoods before a show. It was good that we had reservations; the restaurant was fairly empty when we walked in, but it was packed by the time we left. We ordered some wings as an appetizer, and those came out quickly. They ran out of iced tea so they had to make a fresh batch, which was fine; I much prefer waiting for fresh than getting old tea immediately. Our meals took a while to come out. I ordered the braised tacos, which were pretty good. Another in our party ordered the filet & he enjoyed it. But my sister ordered the Hawaiian flatbread. What she got was not what was described on the menu: the menu said that it had bell pepper, onion, pineapple, honey glazed pork belly and pickled peppers. What came out was the pork belly, pineapple, onions, TOMATOES (which she hates & which were not mentioned) and JALAPENOS (which she's allergic to and which are not pickled peppers.). There were no bell peppers at all. The other issue is that there is only one stall in the bathroom; at one point, there was actually a line to get in. For a restaurant of this size, that is not sufficient. We would consider coming back, but we will ask more questions about the menu.
