Reputation
Woodman's reputation is recognized in many travel and restaurant guides, such as Frommer's New England, Fodor included the restaurant in their Where to Weekend Around Boston, and the Phantom Gourmet Guide to Boston's Best Restaurants 2008 affirms it has the best fried clams. The 2010 film Grown Ups uses the restaurant for a segment when all the characters in the film go out for a family dinner, although hamburgers and not fried clams were portrayed as the restaurant's specialty.
- Beastie Boys' song "Hey Ladies" from their album Paul's Boutique includes the line "Special at Woodman's in Essex Mass"; listed in the printed lyrics, yet never actually recited in the song.

The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
