Woody’s At The Airport

We loved this place. Headed home before our flight. Small airport. No worries about making it through security. They are located on the 2nd floor with a full view of the runway.
I ordered the veggie burger. It was amazing! Most vegetarians know that restaurants neglect us. They simply throw a prefrozen patty on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes and call it a meal. My patty had roasted peppers and beets melted with cheese, pickled onions on a really good bun. Side salad was fresh and tasty. My husband order the roasted turkey sandwich. It had bacon, avocado on sourdough bun. He really enjoyed it.

This is not your typical airport restaurant. The food is really really good. The service is always stellar and while the building is older the location on the runway makes it a lot of fun to watch planes come and go. My wife says she had the best risotto of her life here. My fish tacos were darn good. And my daughter’s pasta was amazing. We will be back even when we aren’t flying!

Fantastic airport restaurant with patio and outdoor views of the runway. Great place for pilots to get a $100 hamburger. Dont forget to validate your parking afterward!

There's nothing better than good food at a reasonable price and watching airplanes take off and land out your window! It's a must go on Tuesday for taco's and Thursday for their fried chicken sandwich special.

“When in Monterey!”

Had a flight delay in Monterey so I decided to grab some lunch. The counter person at Budget said it was really good so I thought I would give it a try. Otherwise I would never think that an airport restaurant would be legit (that’s so bias lol).

On walking to the Host/Hostess stand I was immediately greeted….by a few people actually. That felt good so my experience was already off to a good start.

I asked if I could scan the restaurant to see where I may like to sit. They said go ahead. So I selected a nice booth by the window.

Place was buzzing and they appeared to have a lot of locals eating there…lots of interactions of familiarity with the staff. Which to me was pretty cool and said a lot about the place since it is in an airport.

Cleanliness was great! No issues with floors, tables or food safety from my view of the dinning room. All the server were well groomed and uniforms and aprons were CLEAN!

Service…excellent! I don’t remember the young lady’s name but she was super friendly, super accommodating, and super pleasant. Somebody other than her delivered my food which tells me team work is happening and there is a focus to get the food out of the expo window right away. He was also very friendly and also gave me the perception that he appreciated me eating there (thanks big guy!)

Food. Only getting 5 stars because I cannot give 6. Had the Hawaiian Mahi Mahi sandwich. Fish was very plentiful and very tasty! The bread that it was on was SO good! BC salad dressing was on point and I was told made fresh. I believed it! Delicious. Onion rings were very good too.

Overall such a good experience I had to make mention to the manager or owner on my way out! He appreciated the kind words.

I will DEFINITELY eat here again when in Monterey! And I do hope your experience is as good (if not better…) as mine.

I have had Cobb salad the last three visits and can say very good. I move cars for a living and every chance I get I take lunch at Woody's.

We were visiting from out of town and weren’t quite sure where to go. We made the right decision by going to Woody’s! The steaks were cooked perfectly and so tender. Delicious twice baked potato, yummy broccolini, and we even ate the watercress garnish! Good bread too while we waited for our meal. Excellent service too.

Excellent menu and experience! Swank farm veggies, Bakers Bacon and lots of other high quality ingredients shine through on this menu. Amazing cocktails and desserts as well so you don't want to miss this gem!

So I work at the airport but never really made time to try Woody's upstairs from me. Wow, have I been missing out! The food was amazing!
Okay first let's start off with the host Ava. She is so sweet and welcoming, and remembered me when I had come upstairs earlier that day to introduce myself basically. A great first impression and representative for Woody's. We sat down in a busy atmosphere with a great view and were met with a smiling server and our menus.
I watched the server place two amazingly STACKED dinner plates on the neighboring table, one was a huge, juicy looking chicken and I think a baked potato and the other plate was a giant,THICK prime rib. I don't even know what else was on the plates because I couldn't stop staring at the full plates!!!
So we ordered appetizers and drinks and I was sold on the prime rib. My boyfriend ordered the swordfish and our friends ordered the rib eye, the chicken and clam chowder. Appetizers were amazing, and our drinks were so delicious! Definitely order drinks from that specialty menu! My prime rib was cooked the way I asked-PERFECTLY, (and they have both styles of horseradish). Everyone at our table loved their dinner selection! My boyfriend shared a bite of his swordfish, and it was absolutely the best I've had. And just now, writing this review, I am realizing I never offered a bite to my boyfriend for the first time ever. Lol. My food was so good, I ate it all!! Lol. As for the service, I could not say enough about Lindsay, (sorry if I spelled her name wrong!) She's absolutely the best! She never left us waiting and was always checking on us, and gave great suggestions. Such a great spirit and happy vibe with her. I hope they never lose her. I felt like we were treated like VIP's!
So, would I eat here again? They better make me a chair withy name on it! Sorry that I didn't come up sooner! Can't wait until the next time.
Thank you for a great experience.

Your TSA girl,

We love watching planes while having lunch. Sit on the patio for the best views. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer, calamari sandwich, a burger, as well as the Buffalo chicken appetizer. I want a huge fan of the chicken but we loved the calamari.

This establishment was recently granted the best restaurant in an airport. In the country and it's well deserved, it reminds you of the old days of flying. And the food is awesome especially the onion rings

Outstanding Burrata, Heirloom Tomato and Pesto baguette dish with some delicious prosciutto. Food quality was outstanding and waitstaff was prompt and friendly; thoroughly enjoyed watching the planes takeoff and land while enjoying the atmosphere and food!

Had a great meal at Woody's. Service was spot on and burger cooked just like I asked for it. Would recommend.

Delicious food! Amazing views & great history of the area all listed on the walls.

Excellent fish and chips. Outdoor seating is available. Pleasant, attentive servers.

Only had a drink before flight but views where cool

You know it’s good when locals drive to the airport to dine here. Enjoy the food and great service inside or on the outside patio under an umbrella watching the planes come in.

I may have missed my flight however this place made my day a little better. My server was kind and the appetizers were tasty

This place is quaint and has good, reasonable, priced food. I purposely arrived to the airport early to eat here after reading the reviews. I'm glad I did

Fantastic place. Best fish and chips in town... Sorry Fisherman's #arket
