Wahoo grill is a staple in Decatur, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation if someone were searching for food in the area. They offer valet parking and the attendant is always so pleasant. This was our 2nd time eating here and both times I was underwhelmed. The food lacks flavor in my opinion. The mussels were ok, but with some added seasonings it would have been excellent. We did enjoy the focaccia appetizer with the different flavored butters. The blackened grouper was ok, but again lacked flavor. Staff were very helpful and kind.

Shrimp and grits
Lynn B.

Great service! Food was really good - didn't try the cheese fritters, but liked the calamari and shrimp and grits. Restaurant is off the beaten path and close to the road. Lots of twists and turns to get to private dining room.

Maryland Style Crab Cake and Cast-Iron Mac & Cheese
LaTasha A.

Mac & Cheese was very flavorful. Could taste a couple different cheese combinations. Crab cake was also flavorful. Would recommend them both. Service was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable about engaging. Overall great experience and would recommend and return!

I've been dining at Wahoo many years and have always enjoyed it. They have a beautiful courtyard out back and areas to host large parties. I've always been fond of their special brunch buffets on Mother's Day and Father's Day. They also have a taco Tuesday special with $4 tacos and discounted margaritas. Their menu changes often, but it typically has a nice selection of items. This past visit, I had the crab bisque and fried chicken. The chicken was seasoned very well. It came with collard greens and mashed potatoes which were delicious as well. This is a Decatur staple for very good reason.

I came here for the first time for my friend's birthday dinner. It was $85/person. Apps were steak eggrolls, calamari & chicken satay. All 3 were delicious. The salad was just ok. For my entree, I had ny steak strip and double mash potatoes. I ordered medium well for my steak and the outside was burnt. Each piece had a burnt taste. I couldn't even eat it. The mashed potatoes were good. My cocktail was good but very small. I had the rose water cocktail. Overall I don't feel my meal was worth $85.

JUST GO! Stop reading now and get in your car and head here now for one of the best meals you'll ever have. :) We all know how important the parking question is so don't fret there is free street parking on the other side of the building and a small lot across on the grass and whatever you do, don't let the outside building looks fool you. It's a gem once you're inside. We made a last minute reservation for a Wednesday evening and we were instantly greeted and sat a beautiful inside booth. They do have a patio in the back which looked lovely but it was a bit chilly so we opted out. Our server was Vera who was a true gem and addition to our overall dining experience. We can't wait to get back and see her. Now to the good part, the delicious meal and cocktails! Drinks: Decatur Crush 10/10 The Garden Party 10/10 Peach Margarita 20/10 Food: 1. Crab Bisque Cup 8/10: could have been warmer but the flavor was definitely savory, creamy and not too seafoody if you know what I mean 2. Fried Calamari 9/10: breading was crispy and light and the sauce was a mayo or aioli style that pairs well; would have loved if they served on the side to dip but not necessary to enjoy 3. Chef's Choice of Focaccia Bread + Thyme & Sourghum Butter 10/10: pillowy bread and a beautiful take on butter to add to the bread, almost a sweet initial taste that carried into a thyme finish 4. Winter Salad 10/10: no notes, perfectly dressed! 5. Seared SeaBass 9/10: buttery sea bass that was "crusted" with a scalloped potato which was a different take than expected. 6. Grilled Salmon 9/10: salmon was cooked perfectly for me (so many places overcook salmon) and I've never had a berry note with pasta or rice but this was a bright and refreshing cleanser for the palette. 7. Espresso Brûlée 10/10: so creamy, rich, and perfect bitterness from the espresso! With all that sad, I cannot wait to come back and experience more of the delicious food and great company of the staff. Wahoo you have my heart.

What a charming experience! Parking: there is $4 valet and maaaaaybe parking on the grass across the street but I didn't risk it. The valet was easy and convenient. Ambiance: the restaurant looks quaint and charming and then the garden room and patio open up into this gorgeous, bright, yet cozy space. Great vibes. Service: friendly, kind, attentive, and cool. Everyone seemed great and quirky. Food: fabulous! Truffle fries: delicious, but the sauce was the star. Some truffle parm aioli but it hit! Peach buratta salad: tangy and tasty. I do think it was heavily dressed but the flavors were fabulous. The peach shined and paired well with the tomato and buratta. Crab soup: very creamy very thick. Good flavor, but I wouldn't order again. Seared tuna: unique and delicious. The flavors paired so well. Butterscotch pot de creme: unreal perfection. Tasted just like a worthers in pudding form. Overall great experience ! Will definitely be back to try more of the entrees.

Everything was utter perfection. Seriously though, I have no negative notes. Every bite of my food was delicious, I scared it all in about 5 minutes. My husband son loved their burgers, and my other son actually took some bites of his chicken fingers. On top of that, the staff was incredible. Very accommodating, super friendly, I easily could have invited them to sit down and join us for dinner. Absolutely do I recommend this restaurant and it makes me wish I lived down the street because I would come back at least once a week!

This place is a hidden GEM in the Decatur area! The ambiance is beautiful, this is a great place for date night. Me and my boyfriend visiting on Tuesday during happy hour 4-7pm. They have $6 margs / $4 tacos. The tacos were yummy and the drinks were strong . I love a good deal especially when it's worth it. The staff were very welcoming and our bartender was the bomb! She was so sweet and she definitely knew what she was doing on the drinks!! Thanks Wahoo for having me can't wait to come back

Tuna tartar.
Suzanne H.

Had a nice dinner last night. First time there. We were seated near the open kitchen. Was fun to see the different dishes coming out. Got the tuna tartar and it was very yummy. Three of the pieces of tuna were really tough and I'm not sure why. I've never had tough to eat tuna in a tartar before. I got the steak. Was good but needed salt. The sauce it came with was very good. I asked our server for some sea salt. I should have taken a photo of the tiny amount she brought me in a small dish. I laughed thinking it was a joke! Also my potatoes were definitely from a box. They really had no flavor and I was disappointed in the texture and taste coming from this type of establishment. My guy liked his scallop entree and the burrata and strawberry salad was really tasty! Valet parking outside only $4. Very nice!

Came for mom's 80th birthday. A very unassuming area, parking across the street is free, but is a hop up a curb onto grass, a side gravel alley with a valet (do not bring big trucks or cars- you will not fit), and I think free parking around the corner somewhere. Valet is $4, Venmo, etc. with maybe a small tip in cash. Walk into an old building- not anything fancy or a grand hostess stand. The restaurant itself is quaint! Nice bar. Staff may come across snarky, but they are being hospitable, professional & want you to enjoy your time. We had a table on the patio. Lots of plants, fun string lights & there was a wedding rehearsal dinner out there too. Couples enjoying their company, etc. very romantic!! A heater on the patio came in handy towards the end. Appetizers were fresh & delicious. Good portions to share. Entree's are $22+++. I got shrimp & grits, a few ordered the Filet Med Rare & it actually came out too rare for them. They didn't want to say anything to anyone b/c we were with a group. Another friend (man) ordered the trout & said DELICIOUS, but he left hungry. The burgers at the table ordered Med Rare & came Rare... too rich, but delicious if that makes sense. Others enjoyed their Fried Chicken- said hard to eat- maybe off the bone would be nicer? Mom received a complimentary dessert & enjoyed her Pot de Crème! A lovely evening, PRICY, mom felt celebrated! Definitely a special occasion destination. Dress: business casual and up!

Finally went to Wahoo for my ladies birthday and we loved it. It's a very rainy day so they were kind of slow so the vibe so extremely chill. We ended up sitting at the bar since there wasn't anyone in there. We got a glass of wine and ordered the meatball and swordfish w/ scallops. The homemade pork and beef meatball was super delicious! It came with a rich creamy polenta. The swordfish and scallops definitely were worth it. It came with a garlic potato cake.

Do they actually serve Wahoo fish?

Yes they do when it's in season for them to do so. They even had a wahoo and grits with Pico and herbed butter on the brunch menu a while back.

The seafood boil was genuinely one of the best seasonings I've had in a long while. The house sauce was a perfect combination of garlic butter, lemon pepper, and cajun. Shrimp was not overcooked and easy to peel, crawfish quality was good, and the snow crab legs are always my favorite. At first, I was concerned about not receiving anything to crack the claw, but then I noticed the claw was pre-cracked for us and the rest was easily snapped by hand. We got a side of fries, which are like McDonald's fries on a good day when they are crispy. Service: 5/5 our server Jay was super nice and patient, answering our questions and happy to adjust orders. Ambiance: music including Rihanna, Bryson Tiller, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, etc. There are two individual bathrooms that were clean. There were multiple TVs playing different sports channels. Parking is available right next to the restaurant in a small lot. FYI the mixed drinks are all pre-mixed and they don't have a bartender. The margarita was super sweet and likely not tolerable for some people, but it came in a plastic bag with a flashing LED light which was cute. Still 5 stars for the food!

It is a really cool place and the decor is nice. Overall we had a good experience here and would come back if we are in the area. I do think the Bellini flight should have been on some sort of serving platter like most places use to make it look nice.

We usually have to circle around to find a spot, and walk to the restaurant. We came by for lunch on a Sunday. I like both the exterior and the interior design of the restaurant. The server was friendly and professional. We ordered drinks and two entrées. There was only one other table besides us, so just two tables total in the restaurant. After our drinks arrived, it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. We had the half chicken and the trout. The ingredient quality is high, you can really taste it. However, the wait time was a bit too long, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. Aside from the long wait, everything else was good. I wonder if the delay was because we came shortly after they opened for lunch, but if they're open, the kitchen should be ready. Overall, the food is quite good, though the entree menu is somewhat limited, if excluding the pasta. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth trying. Personally, I'm not sure if I would come back. I'd rather not experience that long wait again, but maybe it was just an off day when I visited.

This had been on our list of steakhouses to try for quite some time, so we came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of them. I started with a $20 smoked Old Fashioned, a cocktail I order regularly at steakhouses. When it arrived, it was nearly clear in color and tasted either heavily watered down or extremely light on bourbon. After I mentioned it, the bartender kindly offered to remake it. While I appreciated the gesture, the replacement took roughly 10 minutes to arrive and ultimately seemed to go in the opposite direction--essentially bourbon and bitters with no noticeable sweetness from sugar or simple syrup. Neither drink felt remotely worth the price, and by the time the second one arrived, much of the meal had already progressed. Things continued downhill when our $35 Crab Louis Salad arrived. The portion of crab was surprisingly small, but more concerning was the fact that multiple gnats or fruit flies were hovering around and landing on the salad while we were trying to eat it. To make matters worse, during the meal I looked down and noticed what appeared to be an old piece of bread and a French fry on the floor beneath our table, seemingly left over from a previous service. It raised questions about the overall attention to cleanliness and detail. What should have been a memorable celebration turned into a disappointing experience. Between the poorly executed cocktails, insects around the food, delayed service, and cleanliness concerns, this visit was a major letdown. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but for the prices being charged, the experience simply did not match the expectations.
