About Woody's Burgers, Baskets N Brews

When it comes to burgers and spuds, John Iacofano, Woody's Burgers, Baskets N Brews' head chef, always leaves the final say to his diners. He lets them choose from half-pound beef patties, chicken breasts, or portabello mushrooms, for instance, before heaping on toppings such as chipotle barbecue sauce and pulled pork. The same rules apply to fries—diners decide whether they prefer shoestring potatoes, sweet potatoes, or tater tots, then John piles on fixings, such as chili and sautéed garlic.

Baskets of fried shrimp and baby back ribs round out John's food options, which bartenders complement by supplying an extensive selection of beers and spirits. Feasts unfold amid wood-paneled walls, chandeliers, and flat-screen TVs showing the day's biggest sports, and live musicians occasionally stop by to perform.
