Classic Southern BBQ Chain to Showcase Farmyard Faves for a Limited Time Beginning August 20 at Participating Locations

Woody's Bar-B-Q Queues Up a Hen Vs. Heifer Summer SmackdownSlow-smoked and seasoned to perfection, Woody’s Bar-B-Q takes two of its most popular menu items and reimagines them for a limited time only. By smoking chicken and beef top-round to pull-apart tenderness, the classic Southern BBQ chain has created the perfect canvas for its guests to add their choice of sauces, allowing for maximum absorption of both moisture and flavor. Available in guests’ pick of a sandwich or dinner, this special promotion marks a battle royale between hen and heifer to see which one will come out on top among these Farmyard Faves. All four menu items will be available at participating Woody’s Bar-B-Q locations from August 20 to September 30, 2024. The suggested retail price for both sandwiches is $11.99, and for both dinners is $14.99, although prices may vary slightly from one location to the next. Lunch portions of the dinners will also be available at the suggested retail price of $12.99.

“Every time we run a special promotion, each dish is a contender for becoming a permanent fixture on our menu,” said Yolanda Mills-Mawman, President and Co-Founder of Woody’s Bar-B-Q. “Our guests’ reaction is the deciding factor. I can easily see our pulled chicken and beef making the cut. Through our proprietary seasonings and smoking process, both are flavorful on their own. Add one of our sauces, and it amplifies the flavor all the more. While donkeys and elephants battle it out in the political arena, hens and heifers will vie for votes with each order at participating Woody’s Bar-B-Q locations. We’re eager to see which one resonates best with our fan base.”

The following Farmyard Faves menu items will duke it out to see which one makes the leap from limited-time promotion to a possible permanent fixture on the Woody’s Bar-B-Q menu:

After opening their first Woody’s Bar-B-Q in 1980, partners Woody Mills and Yolanda Mills-Mawman have spent more than four decades setting the “bar” higher for classic Southern barbecue. From the humble beginnings of just one location in Jacksonville, Florida, a shared passion for barbecue, and a dog-eared collection of recipes, Mills and Mawman have grown the Woody’s Bar-B-Q brand to locations reaching from the Deep South where barbecue is king to the Northeast. Perhaps best known for their legendary melt-in-your-mouth slow-smoked Signature Baby Back Ribs, Woody’s has also built quite a following among patrons with their secret recipe barbecue sauces and meats, as well as their freshly prepared comfort food-inspired side dishes.
