A BIT ABOUT US :

Wooden Paddle is hybrid restaurant + catering company. Our focus is communal, wood-fired comfort food + artsy cocktails. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take our food, drinks, and service extremely seriously.

And we're growing! We're moving our catering headquarters into its very own space in March 2022. We're also opening up a 2nd restaurant in February 2023, and an event venue in late 2024.

Opportunities for growth are everywhere here!

Wooden Paddle is 11-years-young restaurant & catering company, started in 2013. (That's a whole middle-schooler ago!)

Our purpose, and the reason we exist, is to be 'The Place You Want to Be'.

Our niche, and the thing we work really freaking hard to do better than anyone else, is creating Super Fun Dining Experiences .

Our focus is shareable, wood-fired comfort foods , artsy cocktails , & good-time energy ️.

As a team, we're scrappy go-getters who don't take ourselves too seriously - but we take our food, drinks, and hospitality *extremely* seriously.

And we're all on a mission to hit 10 Million Good-Time Guest Experiences by 2033! Come for the pizza, stay for the party bb!
