J-Bird's Dogwood Diner

The food here is delicious. Their pot roast is amazing, and I wish they served it more often. If you're looking for a good restaurant to have lunch at in Woodville, I'd definitely recommend the Dogwood Diner.

I took my Mom to eat a somewhat late lunch here and the staff were super friendly!!

The food was good, the atmosphere was clean, positive vibes, a breath of fresh air, the food smelled good and the establishment was clean with a decent view so if You want to see what’s going on around there I don’t think You would be disappointed in the view.. it surely put a smile on our faces!

So Thank You!! To Dogwood Diner for making our day. 🫶🏻

The credit price of your meal will be different than the cash price. They do pass the convenience fee onto the customer. We ordered the small and large steak finger baskets. The small came with 4 steak fingers, 2 pieces of toast, and fries as well as one cream gravy. The large was 6 steak fingers, 4 pieces of toast, 2 cream gravies, and fries. Drinks were extra, but did have free refills. To be fair, before we ordered, we asked if the steak fingers were hand breaded, and they said no. We ordered them anyway to try them. If you are looking for steak fingers frozen from a bag that are exactly like Dairy Queen, then that's your meal. If you're looking for home cooked as their sign says, it's not your meal. The fries were crispy crinkles that were a bit overcooked and tasted like bag fries do. With all that said, they have other items on their menu that may actually be home cooked. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. Everything here seems to be centered around doing it as cheaply as they can as a business. There's no plates or real cups when you dine in. Everything is styrofoam. I would not order the steak fingers or the fries again at all. Based on my first try here, I would have to say it was less than impressive than I was hoping it was. People expect a small town cafe/diner to have traditional home cooked feel-good food, not fast food chain quality. This particular meal just didn't deliver that experience. Just not my cup of tea or what I'm looking for in a small town diner. It may be for you, though.

They have really fixed up the inside of the diner. Looks like every surface has a fresh coat of paint.
Even the tables and chairs look refreshed.
Well, they charge a "convenience fee" if you use a debit or credit card. They also charge you a dollar for a plastic water glass. Yes, a dollar for a glass of water. We spent $44.93 there for 3 meals: Catfish (previously frozen, as I could tell from the texture of the fish) and fries; Shrimp and fries; BLT with an order of cheese fries ($5 for the fries).

One would assume a ten-dollar burger came with fries but nope
