Woodlands Restaurant - Galena, Illinois

Food was DELICIOUS, served hot, and timely! Staff (we met Jack, Avril, and even the chef) were friendly and professional. My husband enjoyed their chicken sandwich, I had their Wagyu smash burger. Their brussel sprouts appetizer and their carrot cake was THE best we've ever had. Generous portions, warm atmosphere.

Food was not worth the cost, but edible. The woman working there seemed barely tolerant of customers. The silverware was dirty with visible streaks and pieces of food still on them and the napkins they were wrapped in still had visible dried food stuck to them. Luckily we didn’t need them due to ordering the pizza and a burger. The water tasted musty.

The other server who ended up bringing out the food was nice at least.

We ordered a takeout pizza since we were just checking into our Airbnb. Amazing service from the gentleman working the host stand. He was incredibly friendly over the phone and while waiting for our pizza. Pizza was good and fairly priced

Good food and amazing service. The staff here is so attentive and helpful. The view of Lake Galena from the restaurant is simply stunning. They also have some unique and delicious dishes. I recommend trying the Woodlands BLT app - a fried green tomato topped with pimento Gouda cheese, thick cut bacon and apricots for a bit of sweetness. Had never tasted anything like it before and would definitely order it again!

Absolutely TERRIBLE breakfast buffet! Short staffed, and the staff that was there looked like they just rolled out of bed. All the food that was supposed to be hot was cold. The only good part of the breakfast was the freshly made omelette. I had to refill my own coffee and finally got a water refill near the end of the breakfast. DEFINITELY not worth $22.00. Go to downtown Galena to eat. Better food for the prices. And as for the hotel, you can find much better!

For the Thanksgiving buffet we had a party of 13 and were asked to leave after 1 hour & 20 minutes. Several guests were still on the main course and on their second cocktail. With bill, cocktails and tip we spent over $800 and we forced to rush through dinner and dessert. None of us will ever return and as residents will let others know of our experience!

Great service, the food was amazing! We ate in the bar area, got right in despite not having reservations, and was still able to order from the full menu. Best filet I've ever had.
