    Let me start by saying, these are some of the most friendly and caring folks I have ever…read moreencountered in the restaurant business. Of course, the food is excellent, and they are always creating new and exciting food dishes. While seafood is their specialty, it doesn't stop there... not by a long shot. They offer new creations almost every week and they range from new creative side dishes, main courses, to deserts. Their deserts are absolutely delicious so give them a try. Now back to their service. They are all very personable and after a few visits they knew my name. I am always treated special even after I've been served, they will always walk by and ask if I need anything else. In conclusion, give Wharf Casual Restaurant a try. You order at the counter but after that they will serve you at your table and whatever else you require, they will gladly supply with a smile always on their face. Try them... you won't be sorry. Oh, one more thing. Wednesday is Wind-down day. It is two for one on all wine drinks. How can you beat that?

    Not so hungry on a busy family day…read more Went to one of my parents' favorite local restaurants. The Wharf Casual Seafood has many seafood options. Got a couple of plates of mahi-mahi blackened with hushpuppies and a side. I got garlic green beans. My parents had the salad. Ask for the creamy Greek dressing. It is so good. Great with the fish and the salad. (It also helped as the mahi-mahi was a bit dry.) The strawberry lemonade is served in a tall frosted mug. So cute. So refreshing. Love the fresh strawberries and sliced lemons. We sat outside at first, but then moved quickly inside as it poured rain. Thank you also for the slices of red velvet cake. What a sweet treat to cap off a nice weekend meal with the family. Parking is easy. The restaurant is cute and cozy. Not crowed on a Sunday night on Memorial Day Weekend, but note..they close at 8 PM.

    I wanted seafood for lunch so I decided to go to the Wharf. All aspects of my experience were…read moregreat. I had the mahi lunch special with coleslaw. The portions were good and the food was fresh and very tasty. What also made my experience so great was the service by Katy M. who was at the register around 11:30 am. She has the perfect demeanor for someone in the service industry. She also appears to be a great employee. I watched as she left the register to ask customers if everything was OK and to clean off the recently empty tables. As the restaurant became busy, she was still perfectly delightful. If I had a restaurant I would have tried to steal her away. I will definitely be back, probably a few times a week.

    At Wharf on Mahan again the mahi is WONDERFUL service always excellent potatoes just wonderful…read moregreen beans the fried mahi was just so tender today. I sat and savor every little sliver and it was just it was wonderful again. I just want you to know it's just a great place to go. Keep them happy make some money he'll feed you well. The place is always kind of quiet and mellow parking is easy as could be access for wheelchairs. It's OK once you're in you're good but getting a little tough, but the food is worth it smashed potatoes and the green beans alone or just to die for and then you got all kind of other things like okra, tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. I mean it's an extensive menu. Coleslaw is wonderful potato salad delicious I'm telling you it's a good food but now they have that lunch special and my wife and I spend half the money now that we do before and it's still a good deal. We love it always the shrimp's always consistent same size shrimp they don't never give you a small shrimp it's always a good one. It's always fresh make you feel good at home. Have a refill. Get another water. Be peeing later. Be making him feel better.

    As someone who has been reviewing for Yelp for a long time, this has to be the absolute worst…read moredining experience I've ever had. I mean that very seriously. On Saturday, 2/28, I came into the restaurant at 6:15pm with a group of 6. Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables taken. The Hostess wanted to put us a table, but it wouldn't fit us all. We asked her where to sit and she told us to decide on seating. We had to suggest to put a table together and started to move it ourselves, then she helped. Just odd because we had no idea if they had a table to seat us. While waiting for the server, the table in front of us asked for to-go boxes and was told they only have the bottoms, no lids. She brought plastic wrap to cover their leftovers. They were not happy and left without a lot of their leftovers. Our service came out and was very sweet. She honestly was the nicest person at that restaurant and she deserves to go somewhere that she can make better money. She told us they only had beer and wine, but only a few on the wine list. Sometimes if it was asked for, they said they didn't have it. I stuck to a Coke. We ordered as follows: Me: Loaded Baked Potato (yes that's it.) Person 2: wedge salad Person 3: cornbread skillet Person 4 and 5 had burgers. One had cheddar cheese with everything on it. The other had everything BUT pickles. We waited about an hour for our food. Person 5's burger came out and the fries were cold. I'm not meaning lukewarm, I mean COLD. Like out a fridge. They hadn't even been cooked all the way. Person 4's burger came out without cheese. Both of those were sent back to get that fixed. Person 4's burger came back with a piece of half melted (what looked like) American cheese on the bottom of the burger and the burger was BURNT. I mean, hockey puck burnt. When the fries were sent back, we could hear the cook SCREAMING AND THROWING THINGS, yelling that we "weren't right" and he "had just took those up". The server even felt them and agreed with us. My baked potato came out hard. I couldn't really even eat it. It was hard, bland and it was covered in sour cream, even the outside. A runner came over to bring some salt and pepper and I asked her if she wouldn't mind letting us talk to a manager. Everyone there said I was polite in asking, as we just wanted to tell her what was going on, not trying to get anything free. When I asked, she threw her hands up in the air, slapped her hips, rolled her eyes and stomped away. The people around us even looked at her. They also could hear the cook yelling. We did see another couple send their food back as well while we were waiting. The manager comes over and when we tell her everything, she tells us she agrees and that she's working on getting better help, as we could see what she was working with there. We just asked her for the check and asked to go. We hear the manager try to talk to the team and the cook begins to scream and talk down to her. Then, he came out and stared at our table. If looks could kill, we would all be dead. The thing is- burgers there are $18. We didn't get anything hard to make but only the salad and the cornbread were fit to eat. They did comp our meal, but we continued to ask them to let us pay. Instead, we ended up giving the money to the server. She can only do what she can and she was so sweet. I do have multiple people who will attest to everything that happened. That was the whole experience. We walked outside and immediately went to get something else to eat. We came to the American because this was our first time in town and we had heard great things about it! Of course, we had seen it on TV as well, so we were very excited. The next night, another couple we knew went there and had the same experience. She was the only table in there and they still took over an hour and her food was terrible. This is absolutely so disappointing. The American used to be THE destination down here but now, it's the one everyone is telling people NOT to go to. We talked to our hotel host and they said they wished we would have asked because they would have told us to stay away. It's a shame. I really hope they can get some new people in there who care about food and making it good! I'd love to come back if they're able to improve and change my review. I do have 5 other people who are willing to attest to this, so as much as I wish it was an exaggeration, it's not.

    THis restaurant is leading the restoration of downtown Bainbrige. We had a very pleasant dinner…read morehere with a dozen of my wife's family members. The space was beautiful and open. Good drink selections with both local and more faraway craft options for beer. Elevated Southern/Georgia fare on the menu. For appetizers, try the cornbread and heirloom tomato pie. You can get quality fried chicken, pork chop, and grits here. I had the Pecan Crusted Idaho Trout. The sauce was bit cloying but the fish was tasty. Service was quick and competent, especially with a large group. Definitely one of the best dining options in downtown, and right next door to the brewery.
