I'm giving 5 stars because we absolutely love this place . We went back tonight bc I have the Atlanta Passbook and it's about to expire. I didn't want to miss this offer. The service and food was great. Toni was our server, she was super friendly and very helpful. We had the salmon and the Tuna. Both dishes were delicious. The salmon was seasoned well. It came with succotash, which I love. Their version was a little heavy on the corn. I still enjoyed it. For dessert we got the bread pudding. We normally get the bread pudding but tonight was better than I remembered!! We were seated outdoors in their lovely patio area. I would have felt comfortable indoors also as they have dividers as well as a nice amount of space between the tables. We had a very interesting interaction with the manager Dewey. He is not very customer centric. It's a super long story but the way he spoke to both us and Amanda, who was behind the bar, left me with my mouth opened in shock. I've never experienced anything but great customer service from here so I didn't want to take a star off but I almost feel like I would call to make sure he's not on duty when I go back. read more

***posting this review from February My boyfriend and I came here on Valentine's Day weekend around 5pm for dinner. Since we didn't have a reservation, we called ahead. The staff put us on the waitlist prior to us arriving and seated us immediately when we arrived. Parking is limited (street or valet for $3) so plan ahead. We got a seat in the back covered patio area, which had a nice garden-like atmosphere. We ordered two entrees: the blackened mahi mahi with friend green tomatoes and white cheddar grits and the chef's special snapper with curry sauce and purple rice. Both were delicious. I liked the texture and the flavor of the snapper, but really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and the grits. We also got the orange ginger fizz and the Bangkok mule. We had the Atlanta Dining Passbook so had a BOGO on the entree. Overall, we had a great dining experience and very courteous customer service. Since we finished dinner early, we got to walk around in their wine store next door and enjoyed free Spanish wine tasting. read more

My daughter got married here on June 7, 2025, and it was spectacular!It stormed not long before the ceremony was supposed to start, so they had to flip the reception area into seating for the ceremony and then flip it back for the reception and they did a great job. The food was awesome, and the staff was attentive and so accommodating. I highly recommend Wahoo! Grill for sweet, intimate weddings. read more

This is a very good restaurant. The menu offers a good variety of delicious food. The service we had with Meghan was superb. The only complaint is that the valet parking is ridiculous. You must valet park but the valet is located pretty far from the entrance to the restaurant and you have to walk down a precarious uneven sidewalk and then an uneven front parking lot for the wine store before you get to the valet who parks your car but neither retrieves it from the entrance or delivers it to you when you leave. And to boot they charge you $4 for the privilege. What kind of valet is that? Since I have trouble walking we probably will not return to this restaurant for that very reason. Please have the valet take cars at the entrance of the restaurant and not in the far off parking lot. read more

I have realized that I missed a part of the world called Decatur. First, I "found" DeKalb Farmers Market and now, Wahoo! Grill, a quaint place with a wine store that has been around as long as I have been in Georgia...we were treated to awesome service from Vera, an outstanding drinking experience curated by Brett and "off da chain" delicious food bein. We started with the fried green tomatoes and the calamari. Both were light and tasty. My peoples had the grilled salmon and I tried the Blue Ridge Mountain Trout that had root vegetables and a pesto cream sauce which was so dayum good that I asked for more Brett capped the night off with incredible drinks for my peoples. The first was the Red Entourage and a Dirty Dirty Martini. Man, I might have to come back to Decatur real soon. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants and now it's holds an even bigger spot in my heart because my boyfriend proposed to me this night! The food is always delicious and the service is great.

First of all, Megan our server was absolutely amazing! I came here with my cousin who is a food connoisseur and such a foodie. We had octopus as an appetizer along with mussels and my cousin ordered the crab bisque. The mussels were quite small I have to say and we had to send the octopus back because it was tough, but the service was amazing! They brought back a calamari that was so great! They had fried banana peppers in them that was delicious. Our entrees were much better. We had the lamb and the trout, which both I enjoyed. I think the star of the meal were the drinks. I had the Dance of theFairies, a gin drink and the Gourd Times. They both were just so good I tried my cousin's SOHO Sour which was also just amazing! I'd definitely come back to try some different food items. The ambiance I'd say was okay. It was a little loud because an event was going on , but I think if we had come on a different day it would have been better. read more

The service was splendid!!! Atmosphere was divine!!!! Cocktails were amazing!!! The apps were okay... the pimento cheese bites were very delicious. The fried green tomatoes had no business being paired with sprinkles of crab meat and pimento cheese. The mussels were tasty!!! The seafood smelled over fishy and the scallops were not as pan seared as I would have expected. Almost too raw. The plated scallops were not eye candy almost a mismatch entree. It was paired with spinach and grits didn't make sense.... The halibut was tasty but smelled very fishy. The chicken, collard greens and mashed potatoes were very good. The desserts bread pudding was trash... the rum glaze was thick like frosting. The chocolate cake was a best!!! read more

This is a staple in Decatur , service is always good, food consistently above average and value is there. With so many options so close this is an establishment which understands it really has to work hard to not have an off day and it deliveries , or has delivered for me every time. Everything is a hit in this place from the duck fat chicken to the muscles . If you are in the area and have passed in this gem do yourself a favor and stop in to a place that will quickly become your go to. read more

One of our all time favorites, Wahoo has superior food quality and service. We've never (yes, I said never) had a bad meal or experience here. Your choice is indoor, garden patio, or outdoor dining. Your map function may lead you to believe it's hard to find Wahoo, but it's not. There's also a boutique wine store next door with super helpful staff. Tonight I had pan seared ahi tuna. Among the best I've eaten. I didn't want the included starch as a side, so they gladly subbed the green beans. read more

My friends and I planned a surprise engagement gathering for our best friend and it was an amazing experience. The service was top notch, the food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful (would definitely come back for dinner), and the space was just what we needed with a private entrance and room so we could celebrate to our heart's content. Our servers Michael and Taylor were sooo helpful and gracious they were truly a pleasure. Looking forward to hosting future events here! read more

This was not my first visit here however it was my first time here in a long time. Everytime I'm here I have a great experience. This time I came for the Sunday brunch. KAY was our awesome server, she was friendly and very attentive making our dining experience unforgettable. I was happy about that because this was a first for my dining companion. I had been talking about this brunch for a few months, just couldn't get our schedules to mesh as I normally work most weekends. He was in awe of the beautiful bright and airy patio where we sat. The brunch selections are all delicious. My favorite on the brunch menu is the bread pudding. It's the best ever. A must try. I can't wait to eat here again and visit the very friendly staff. read more

Came here for reservation was disappointed that they had the outside completely booked for a wedding and that was nowhere noted on their website when booking because I definitely wanted to enjoy the outside garden. Would definitely go back just to enjoy that beautiful scenery. Our manager was very sweet our bartender made the most delicious drinks. However do not order that steak it tasted like it was out of the freezer section... However the chicken was flavorful and the vegetables and side dishes were also great read more

Awesome spot in a unique location in Decatur. The outside of the building really throws you off, until you are within the walls and experience the excellent ambiance they provide. Food and service is great... parking is a little rough, but valet is offered. Overall experience was great! read more

My friends and I came for lunch and we were slightly disappointed seeing as each time we've come the food has been delicious. I ordered a mimosa, it was ok, but my friend had the whiskey smash and when I tasted it, I thought to myself that I should've ordered that. We shared the calamari as a starter. For our meals 2 ordered the shrimp and grits, 1 ordered the fried chicken sub the greens for spinach, and i ordered the fried flounder sandwich sub the fries for broccoli. We all agreed that the protein was severely under seasoned. Luckily my sandwich came with a semi spicy remoulade so I got extra of that so that I could dip my sandwich and get some type of flavor. But the broccoli was really good and seasoned well. Our server, Reuben, was great. He was nice and down to earth. Overall, I won't be returning to have their lunch but I'll gladly come back for dinner. read more

Our party of 6 celebrated my daughters 35th birthday at Yahoo Grill last night. There were 3 of us couples: my wife and I are mid-late 60s, our 2 Daughters, mid- late 30s, and our 2 Sons-in-law, same. The wife & I had shrimp & grits. I grew up in coastal Georgia and have had this staple repeatably for 60 + years. This was hands-down the best I've had. The grits were in a tomato & shrimp-infused cream sauce that was velvety beyond belief. Taking such a neutral entrée and creating a dish so so flavorful was amazing. My daughter ordered Green Freekeh with grilled asparagus and tofu. She loved it and said the only improvement would possibly be the addition of a sauce. A May-haw hoisin sauce perhaps, similar to the kind served with the Truffle Fries. My son in law had the grouper special, baked I think. My other son in law had the halibut and a side of broccolini. My other daughter had the salmon. We had a calamari appetizer for the table. All of us were thrilled with the quality and and flavor of our choices. The young lady from South Africa handling our party was the epitome of professionalism. Our table service was phenomenal. I realize it is such a cliche to say that, but it's true. There were 2 gentlemen assisting our server. Both were great in making us comfortable, welcome, and they anticipated our every need. Even the restuarant manager stopped by to chat and see to our satisfaction. All in all it was, again, a memorable experience. If there is one word to describe our food and service it would be...Exquisite. read more

This is a very late review - over 5 years ago I had the pleasure of attending Easter brunch at Wahoo Grill and it was phenomenal! I tend to shy away from outdoor seating since the weather is fickle this time of year, but somehow on this particular Easter Sunday, I remember it was perfect! I vividly remember the pretty dress I wore and how it matched the pretty ambiance with florals galore. It's rare that my whole family agrees that the day was perfect - including the weather. I've been craving for an opportunity to go again for brunch after all these years. To date - it's still one of the most memorable Easter brunches I've been to. The food was delicious and plenty of variety. I even remember getting seating upon arriving with a reservation. Hope to visit again in the near future! read more

Wonderful grilled sea bass, flavorful crab bisque and a death by chocolate flourless cake that was surprisingly light

Not a fan. No dressing on salad, no sauce for calamari, weird sauce on the steak. Just not a tasty dinner at all. Sorry guys. I wouldn't come back. read more

Ordered to go from here last night and paid $40 for the scallop entree, which was literally just 5 scallops. Not served with anything, on top of anything, nothing. Just 5 scallops in a container for $40, what in the world?!?!!! All of our other dishes (salmon, shrimp and grits, etc) came with orzo or another item. read more

I'd like to begin by saying that the staff was phenomenal and the food was very good for our event. But...Buyer Beware! Be careful about renting the outdoor garden space for your event. The owner is deceptive and callous. She rents a covered and an uncovered garden space with a rain contingency for the uncovered space but when it rained and the space was unusable (although she says a guest took pictures in the space) she still wants to charge for the space. It rained the entire event. We were in a crowded space in the covered heated space because we couldn't use the uncovered space. Sydni the owner refused to give any allowance for the rain contingency. The space never should've been set up because it was already raining at the time of the event. It is also an al a carte event space. There are numerous add on charges, some we were unaware of until we booked the event with our final numbers such as their parking fees. They charge per person for parking whether they walk, drive or carpool. We inquired about parking before the event, we were only told there was plenty of parking but were told nothing about the parking fees before finalizing the event. A sour end to our event. read more

Great food! Great service! The perfect place for a special occasion! Or just a night out!

Wahoo Grill is softly decorated and comfortable. I could eat here every weekend and just might. A group of us went to celebrate a friends birthday and the food was amazing. Our waitress Amber gave excellent service, the Manager Bret as well and kept checking on our table. Wahoo Grill is a hidden gem!! Highly recommended. C.Leigh read more

We went for a late Sunday dinner, less than an hour before close (yes, we were...those people...) but our server at Wahoo was prompt and professional and did not make us feel bad about this at all. We also were using the Dining Out Passbook, which was no problem! We tipped well, promise! We started with truffle fries to share and it was a huge portion. Very truffle-y, highly recommend! We also got a round of cocktails: the Candy Apple Krush and Winter Gimlet. Both were on the sweeter side, but still good. The wine list is very reasonably priced, so we will probably do that next time! For entrees, we both got the trout and it was delicious. Probably the best trout I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly with crispy skin and a good portion and came with this insanely good pesto butter and crispy green beans. Get the trout! you won't regret it. Ambiance is 10/10. This place is so dreamy! No wonder it is popular for events and weddings/receptions. It feels like you've been transported to a picturesque countryside somewhere anywhere but Georgia. The backroom feels like you are in a greenhouse with its all glass windows and overlooks a beautiful patio. I would love to come back during the day to get the full experience! There is also a free parking lot around the side of the building, or you can park by the railroad tracks across the street. They also have a wine shop that you can get a discount at with your check! read more

Wahoo has been in CITY OF Decatur for 20 years. They use to have a fish stew on their menu which I loved. The Ahi Tuna is excellent and the scallops are larger than most restaurants. This is fine casual dining. Their outdoor patio is the place to sit. It's not as outdoors as it was when they first opened but very comfortable and relaxing. I recommend this place for smaller events like graduation parties of 20 people. If you are paying the chef will work with you on the menu for your guests. There always that one friend which you have to say no! These are your 3 choices that's it. I am not a drinker but will have wine on special occasions and Wahoo had an excellent selection of wine at all prices levels. There a lot of good quality restaurants choices in COD. Wahoo has proven itself over 20 yrs by offering excellent service and an attentive staff. I believe most of their vegetarian are sourced locally and are always the freshest! read more

Food was fantastic, great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! The swordfish and calamari App were among the highlights.

We haven't been back to Wahoo! Grill since we got married in 2015. That patio space is even more magical than it was when we chose it foe our reception. Seriously, the prettiest venue (in our price range) in Atlanta. We left the state and returned during the pandemic. We went back last night for our first 14-person family dinner since Christmas 2019. The family has expanded and we were celebrating a pregnancy. We ate outdoors on the Wahoo! patio and it was a really tremendous experience. Perfectly warm. The heaters were on blast. Masked and amazing service, the best I've seen for 14 people. Carol, supported by her manager, was super patient with our extremely late start. She kept up with drinks and appetizers even as we waited. (It's hard to wrangle 14 people. Especially a pregnant lady with two Littles.) She was super friendly and really some of the best service I've received. The food came out really promptly. Everyone was attentive and tiny things were fixed quickly. Tables outside set reasonably far apart. Pretty good food. Good cocktails. All reasonably priced. Also, I'm pretty sure they turned the outdoor tent lights were only on because the five children in are party were playing in there. Thanks for that too. Would highly recommend. Especially for people who miss eating out but are cautious about Covid. Big thanks to Wahoo. read more

My wife and I love Wahoo! It's our go-to place for special meals (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries), and it never lets us down. Their food is delicious and creative without going off the rails, and their staff are always friendly and kind. Plus, it's just a comfortable place to be. If you haven't given Wahoo a try, I definitely recommend it! read more

The meal here was pretty good, but I was super tired from 4 1/2 hours of yard work. Still, I enjoyed the service and atmosphere regardless. We started the evening sharing the lobster mac n cheese followed by the southern fried chicken for him then pork belly & scallops for me. The lobster mac n cheese was superb, but it wasn't super duper wowing. It was def above average. I have to say I have had something more wowing elsewhere. It's not to say don't get it! The southern fried chicken with mashed potatoes (in a milk gravy) was typical but pretty good. The collard greens with bacon was different ish. I didn't see or tasted anything superbly different about this fried chicken, but the significant other seemed to dig it. The pork belly & scallops came out very interestingly small -- lol. I sort of felt like it was a mix match of various things coming together to make a dish. The pork belly and scallops were yummy, but I was extremely tired to savor all the flavors. The cannellini and fennel added to the variety and texture of the meal for sure. The significant other finished 3/4 of my meal and said it was great. :/ Parking choices: vallet or do street parking. Wahoo! Grill isn't located in the heart of Decatur; it is near the other Marta station so don't get confused as you're looking for the place. read more

This is an awesome place. Before you even get in the place the valet staff are friendly and give advisement of what are good options on the menu. They were spot on with their recommendations. The place is beautiful and seemed small but was able to accommodate everyone that was there. The manager stopped by to greet us and helped the server as well outstanding you don't see that often now. Food was fresh and delicious tried various items on menu. Only setback was our server was not as attentive to us and slow with getting our orders and did not check on us after receiving food. I will return again oh just a fyi they have half price on Tuesday so go check them out!!!!! read more

Excellent food and service. This place looks pretty small and insignificant for a restaurant on the outside. But this restaurant once inside is just nice in every way. The staff is attentive.

The entree was large and so filling. My husband kept stealing bites of mine. We will definitely be back! read more
