Woody's Q Shack — Restaurant in Alamosa

Food was excellent but why guilt us into tipping if we have to clean the table? Still left 20% but felt dirty about it.

Thank you for the reply Kyle. Your food is excellent and I was not aware the side salad could not be used a side for the papa Jeff's platter, but that clears up why the cashier went to check (I thought it was to see if you guys had any left) it was listed on the sides part of your menu so it appeared to be an available side. The cash tip box plus the credit card reader makes it seem like a tip is expected and when we sat down the trash cans readily available with the "please don't throw away the forks" sign made it seemed like the expectation is that we clear out own tables which personally just annoyed me just a little as I had just done the same thing at another restaurant in salida the day before (your food was way better though) I'm sure you guys were likely very busy with to go orders as again your food is excellent and I did notice one couple beside ours who were dining in after us. Regardless of all that, my only rant is that with the multiple signs that tips are appreciated, I felt obligated to tip and then felt obligated to clean up the tables when I saw the trash cans and the "please don't throw away the forks sign"

This is not meant to offend you kyle, just letting you know how I felt and if I felt that way many others felt that way too and given your expertise in perfecting the ribs and wings, I felt you would appreciate knowing vs...

See below for recent UPDATE:

Whenever I order from Woody's Q, I cannot do it until I'm done with work after 6:00. I've tried to order a few different times but their menu is constantly sold out by the time I get to order at 6:15 or so. I understand it must mean they have good food but it's a real bummer to think that that's too late to order. I don't know why they can't order enough so that they have enough food to go around so that they can fit the demand of the customers needs. Hint hint it's how you make profit, but they don't seem to want to do that. Oh well whatever

UPDATE: having not tried this place for a while I decided to give it another go and I ordered my favorite meal which was the loaded baked potato always having good luck with that in the past they are delicious but now I have the exception to that it's unfortunately but I have this report the potato was pulled from the ground washed off and set in my to-go container it was not cooked at all it did not seem it was as hard as a rock and cold I wish I would not have driven all the way home to find that out because by the time I got to my home they were closed. I've learned my lesson from this and I have to say that sorry Woody...

Staff and atmosphere were excellent but I paid over a little over 25 bucks for the food (30 with tip) and the tiny portion of ribs I received was dried out, the coleslaw was not to my liking but the Mac and cheese was good. Clean bathrooms, super friendly staff, and I did like the atmosphere but the food was not worth the 25 bucks. Sorry....

Not sure how to reply so am adding my reply here.... So my total cost was 30, including tax and tip so I do apologize for that. I did edit my review to correct my mistake. So the cost for my meal with tax (without tip) was a little over 25. 20.50 for the ribs, 3.00 for the soda, tax was 2 bucks. I originally asked for the 2 meat meal but was told ribs weren't an option with that and was offered a rib plate. I was super sad that the ribs were dry, ribs are my favorite food and the whole reason I came. I've only been to your restaurant once and like I said, loved the atmosphere, it was clean and the staff was super friendly and might try it again but can't recommend the ribs based on...
