Woodbridge Inn Restaurant

While the staff and grounds of this inn/​restaurant were lovely, the food was extremely disappointing — completely flavorless — had pecan crusted trout, meatloaf with Brussels sprouts, pork schnitzel with asparagus and red cabbage and fried green tomato sandwich. The Brussels sprouts were hard/​undercooked, asparagus tasted burnt, the «gravy» was gelatinous «goo» and bacon on sandwich also burnt. Again everything did not taste like it was seasoned and to top it off it took about 40 minutes to arrive!

On my way out of the spectacle of Amicalola, I realized how close I was to Jasper, and thought I’d go upscale to a lace I’d once heard described as «worth the drive from Atlanta». We were received and seated by the windows quickly, and ordered just as fast. The menu we were given was much different than the online one, but I’m fine with a shorter menu if everything is good (sadly, it was not).
After a staggering 40 minute wait (we were starving, and watched the clock carefully), our dishes arrived. The meatloaf eater was content, but the signature mushroom schnitzel was abysmal — had an off taste, under seasoned and the gravy was congealed and tasted like it came from a jar. My fried green tomato sandwich was equally disappointing: 2 pathetic slices on dry toast. 40 minutes for this?!
We asked our waitress Emily if a wait like this was common. She said another table of 10 ordered just ahead of us (a group I didn’t see), and there was only one chef (one too many, evidently). She comped us an extra dessert (a pecan pie slice that was also flavorless), and I just wanted to get out of there, so I saved my disappointed monologue for Unilocal.
Summary: after a great morning hiking Amicalola falls, you can eat anything without guilt, so don’t waste that opportunity here. The only reason I chose not to savage it with a single star was that the menu shows promise, if executed by a chef who has access to a salt shaker and some experience cooking.

Chef Steve has reinvented The Woodbridge Inn with his flair for creativity and his spot on talent for dishes full of flavor!!! Hans you and your staff are amazing!

Absolutely loved and used to go to the Woodbridge inn often when Joe was alive, but then it started to go down hill. Since I heard Hans hired a new chef this past month, I decided to give it a try one more time. Surprisingly, the food was fresh, creative, and a new taste on the old Inn. As I live in a foodie city, I think the Inn is coming back to life with the cat head biscuit grouper Benedict and fried green tomatoes. A wonderful meal to indulge in when I visit this quaint town. The chef is also very interactive with the customers, an excellent quality which meshes the kitchen and front of the house. It takes time to change and update a restaurant, but I think they’ve got the right idea, chef and service to return to its former glory and perhaps even better. All they need are the customers to visit again. Give it a second chance, you’ll be happy you did!

Bread pudding French toast. Best French toast in America, maybe the world. Special today was the smoked salmon eggs Benedict on a cathead biscuit. Oh my yum. Everything was made from scratch. Chef is super friendly and very talented. We will be back, soon!

We used to enjoy Woodbridge, driving up from Atlanta to hit Gibbs Garden and then Jasper for lunch or dinner. Today’s visit to Woodbridge was very disappointing
I ordered salmon with a house salad and it was served raw. Uncooked. Yuck. The rest of the food was ok. Once cooked, my salad was good too.

Had dinner tonight with friends at The Woodbridge Inn. The service was excellent I had the pecan crusted trout it was very good with spinach and mashed potatoes. The best part of the meal however was the new salad romaine lettuce, real bacon and blue cheese with their new dressing sweet garlic vinegarette. It absolutely made the salad. The chef came to our table and told us we could buy some to take home. It is definitely worth buying it. Will be going back. Shirley Newton, Mt. Dora, Florida

Inn needs attention. We had missing knobs on light switches and inside shower curtain had mold streaks. Bathroom facility was clean. Hairdryer was missing from holder and most travelers assume facilities will have one.
Rug in room needed to be shampooed — black dirty spots in the carpet, missing blind slats to so blinds didn’t completely cover the window. Dropped the remote on the floor and I discovered no cover over the remote’s batteries so I went looking for the cover. The underside of the bed hasn’t seen a vacuum for several months. Mattresses and covers need to be updated too.
Restaurant was good, servers were stressed from the amount of guests that night and kept apologizing for being short staffed, also same complaint at lunch though there were less customers. More than two servers obviously were needed on both occasions.
No breakfast at the Inn, but locals highly recommended restaurant in town within walking distance.
Being this Inn is in a great location for our needs while we shop for a new residence, I’ll probably come back. Hopefully we can get a first floor room rather than the ground level. Caution needs to be used on the stairs and the slippery, wet leaves.

I love the very fact that there is a German restaurant located in Jasper georgia. It is very authentic food in a cozy atmosphere. Fall is such a beautiful time to go the due to the leaves changing colors. I had the chicken schnitzel Parmesan. It was outstanding! U can’t wait to eat it again. The sausage plates are always a good choice too. Put this place on your short list, because it’s well worth it.

A 70 on the health inspection is worrisome at best. We have eaten here many times. It’s hit or miss. Place feels run down and in need of a good cleaning inside and out.

Was there last weekend with a friend and had a wonderful meal. Since it’s tradition is German we both had a German dish and was not disappointed at all. Would recommend if you haven’t tried some of their German dishes to do so. As the Woodbridge has been around for such a long time local people need to continue to support it because it is a mainstay here in Jasper.

Yep, blue Plate Special on Thursday’s is my Favorite. Good Olé Fried chicken, Brussel sprouts and creamed corn… Of course there are plenty other choices… but hey… This is my favorite. can’t always make it on Thursdays but Its my one special treat at least once a month…

What an amazing gem in the town of Jasper! This restaurant literally has it all, fast excellent lunches, romantic dinners for a night out, even great for the kiddos! The French Onion soup is the best ever! Service is warm and inviting. Everyone working there really seems to love the place, and that makes it even better.
