We were there on a Friday night - arrived early around 5:30. There were already quite a few people there and within an hour there were several couples waiting at the door. Food was excellent. I got the shrimp and fish platter. I usually use a lot of tartar sauce but the shrimp was seasoned so well it would have been wrong to cover the taste with tartar. Catfish great. My wife got the Salmon and loved it too. Service was good though the place was full. No long wait, attentive service. All good. No complaints or problems. This place is one of our new favorites and we will definitely be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience - plain. Nothing fancy but nice environment for a casual or semi-special evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price - reasonable for the portions and fresh seafood. All good. Very happy with Wahoos. read more

No complaints about the food, but I don't like surprises. We ordered the blackened Mahi-mahi $21, but she serves redfish instead at $44. No prices for daily specials, or for wine. I plan to go back, but I will order directly from the menu, no drinks. It would be good business to be upfront with your customers. read more

The food was amazing! Don't forget to ask for things that aren't on the menu because it made our trip. We started with fragrant tomatoes and had red fish , New York strip and crab legs. Delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did go out back on the patio to take a look around. Looks like a great place to hang the family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a playground and soft seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Stopped in at the new location. Everything is still definitely top notch. Attentive server. Really good good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wish I lived closer so I coyod be a regular. Let me tell you how I know they're legit. On the menu in the po-boy section, it says made with Gambino's french bread. Now for people in Texas that means nothing. For people from new Orleans, Gambino's is a staple. So for the few people who would actually know what that means, they still put it on the menu. Just chef's kiss read more

While in Kerrville looking for a quick lunch, a friend suggested this seafood place. Now, Kerrville is not known for fine dining but this place ups the towns reputation a little bit. The food is good - not great. My wife ordered the burger and she loved it. She eats a burger at a seafood restaurant because she does not like seafood. I do! Anyway, I ordered the Fish and chips and a cup of seafood gumbo. It came in a bowl and yes, it was tasty. Not New Orleans good but hey, it's still Kerrville! The fried codfish but dripping in oil and that's the biggest complaint about the dish. It was difficult to hold it up because it was too oily. They may have to alter the cooking process with the oil already hot before putting the breaded fish to fry. Sometimes, frozen breaded fish come out oily. The service was excellent! Our server was friendly with a great smile and she was fast and efficient. All good things there. Overall, I took off one star for the oily fish and chips but, for a seafood place in Kerrville, this was a good place to eat! read more

The best catfish, period. The blackened redfish served on dirty rice thats usually a special is my favorite. Cajun alfredo and lobster mac kicks ass. My wife says the fish and chips are the best shes had. We have been going there for four years and even the longer wait on Friday nights were totally worth it at the old location. IMHO it is by far the best food in Kerrville and betond. read more

Revisiting my earlier 1-star review. Much improvement and a nice regular stop for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But PLEASE. PLEASE! Please stop with the cheesy supper club jazz. Vibe is somewhere between an elevator and a hospice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just some nice country music in the heart of TX, mix in a bit of east TX Cajun and you will have a VIBE! Trust me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

The food was excellent. I had the blackened mahi mahi and my husband had the fried shrimp platter. Service was amazing, very friendly.

We have been going to Wahoos for several years now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their new location is wonderful with more space and the ambiance is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is always consistently fresh and delicious. I take guests and friends there all the time and am never disappointed. My husband and I go and enjoy the varied menu. I'm always after the wonderful catfish; sometimes I add shrimp and/or oysters-- also delish. He likes the blackened varieties of fresh fish. If you haven't been, you're really missing out!! read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Wahoo's is our go to for a seafood, Cajun fix. The Seafood Etoufee is fabulous! Every. Single. Time.

Service eas fabulous. The food....just wow. Relatively simple meal, well seasoned and well cooked for an exceptional price! Well done Wahoo!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the atmosphere at Wahoos new location. Upscale yet cozy and comfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food was amazing. I love fried oysters and Wahoos didn't disappoint! My friend is not a seafood lover and ordered the Cajun chicken Alfredo. It was spot on. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Can't wait to eat there again! read more

Many cars outside and we were afraid there would be a wait but were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The room was large but not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was very good, ambiance pleasant and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious. Husband had blackened catfish and shrimp. Fish cooked perfectly and very fresh. He even liked the green bean side dish. I had a side salad and the shrimp and grits appetizer so generous that I couldn't finish it. Will definitely be back. read more

Don't order a martini unless your willing to pay $29! Unbelievable. Never going back.

We ordered a fish dinner. The Oder came out very quickly and hot. The food was spiced to perfection and plenty of it. The price I considered to be fair and reasonable, The server was very attentive and friendly. read more

Slow service, expensive and mediocre quality food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Doubt if we try again.

Excellent food and wonderful service! The shrimp and gumbo were delicious and the sauces really set off the dishes. We'll go back!

We used to eat here several times a month and before they moved 9 out of 10 times rated five stars. We are sad to say that 1 out of 4 times lately has been worth the price and comparable to what Wahoo's used to be. The past 2 times, the stewed okra had no stew, mostly bell peppers and was undercooked, the beans were lukewarm and the fried shrimp was bland and tasteless. They used to have the best fried shrimp in the state but it's inconsistent now - disappointingly. read more

Our food was all great. The fried fish and fried oysters were just right and the amount of breading was perfect. One of our party got a gator po'boy and it was very full of the gator bites. Service was good. There was a wait but they have a nice area to wait and it wasn't a long wait. read more

Great food and service. We had gator bites and boudin balls as appetizers and enjoyed both very much. For entrees we had a combo platter, salmon and redfish Pontchartrain. Everyone was very pleased with their choice. Definitely recommend and will go here again. read more

The new store is experiencing growing pains in the start up and that's to be expected. We had a lovely dinner and the fish & chips were great with a great presentation. Big chunky pieces of cod and fries, can't get any better. We passed on appis and dessert. Next time, tho read more

Had great shrimp tacos last week in the new facility. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks really nice and clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Yelp, at its most basic level is really "Word of Mouth" on a much grander scale. And comprised of reviewers who are giving you their opinion. At that capacity who's opinion do you value? Does an Elite badge necessarily quantify that it is more valid than the Yelper without one? I do read many reviews before I offer my patronage to a business. But I only trust a few. What had started a few years ago, a friendship with Don c/s ( whose counsel on Yelp I do value) at a set of Yelp lunch gatherings has grown into meeting more often over great meals. The last one was at an Indian buffet. The next one was suggested at Wahoo's Seafood Co. in idyllic Kerrville, Texas. If Don says a place is great it can be empirically proven true. So I made the hour trek with my co-pilot to ensure parking with finite spaces was available and away we were. Don was spot on about the parking situation. I saw this immediately after we left the restaurant. The place itself is really, really small and intimate. There are a few tables, booths. We were seated by a friendly server who gave excellent service. Full disclaimer: I do not eat seafood. And Wahoo's does Cajun style cuisine with a heavy emphasis on the Gulf Coast. They do offer a burger, which I ordered. Whilst in the presence of great company I found myself looking around the room primarily at its aesthetics. The decor is very simple with a local flair. One thing I liked were the windows with a Louisiana influenced theme: Expressionist decals with a Jazz motif. In keeping with "the local" this place buys fresh fish, crab, shrimp etc. from fishermen everyday. This was indicative in all the plates I saw. My counterpart ordered the Taste of Louisiana overflowing with potatoes, sausage and shrimp. Don and Peg's plates were filled to the brim with fish and red beans. And me, I'm the boring person. I had their burger which was really good with an accompanying local IPA. Judging by my friends empty plates and big smiles I know the food was good. Certainly the fine company was equal to that. In addition Wahoo's has a very laid back, welcoming vibe. It's very casual, no jacket is required. At the same time the excellent service, the welcoming ambience especially the plating was above casual dining. It's fine dining. We got there right when it opened. By the time we left the place was in full swing with parking spaces all filled up. Wahoo's Seafood Co. is a perfect place to visit or catch up with friends or loved ones if you're into Cajun, Louisiana themed cuisine. The service and food are excellent. It's located in a small area that you might miss if you drive too quickly. If you happen to roll in here seek it out. ps. I think we settled on a Mexican Buffet for our next gathering. Time to dust off my stretchy pants. read more

Brought my daughter in for dinner at the bar top. It was a Sunday so there was NFL playing on the TVs. I hear they have the NFL Sunday Ticket. The food was amazing. I had the blackened shrimp taco bowl and my daughter got the lobster mac and cheese. Paige was an amazing server behind the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I highly recommend sitting at the bar top on a Sunday if you are a football fan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a great time and we will definitely be back. read more

The welcoming staff were very friendly. Our server was attentive and told us about the specials. The service was slow and our party of 4 were there at 4:30, so it wasn't that busy yet. When we finally received our food, it was lukewarm at best. And cold fish is not good. I ordered the special which was red fish with pontchartrain sauce served over rice and a side of green beans ($42). In my opinion it could've have used more sauce. For the price, I was very disappointed in the food. If we hadn't been with friends who had recommended, I probably would have sent mine back to be heated up, but didn't want to hold up the party. read more

Since they have refused to correct their new address on social media (go figure) it is very difficult to locate their new location. Food was not as good as the last time we ate at the old location. Manager was totally ill informed re service dog law. All he wanted to do was argue! read more

They have the best fried shrimp(gulf shrimp ) and the worst catfish in town, need more variety of fresh fish service is excellent and oysters are always fresh( I don't eat them in the summer months) ponchartrain sauce I've ever had. Very good fried green tomatoes only thing I won't get there is fried catfish, not seasoned like you would expect it to be. Menu prices were ok but there specials are a little pricey. Thank you read more

Great food & wait staff. I tried to go for a more healthy option than the rice pilaf but it was not available (wanted veggies, instead of rice, due to dietary needs). Food is flavorful with Cajun flavorings. Fish is excellent but they cannot accommodate my dietary needs. I cannot eat white rice, according to my doctor. I would give them an A- but, unfortunately, for this reason, I may no longer be able to enjoy their salmon. It was greatly enjoyed in the past. I love this local place for salmon but it will be a rare return visit. read more

Always ask what the specials are. They usually have a fish with Pontchartrain sauce on it. They also have green tomatoes with Pontchartrain sauce on them, which that sauce is probably the best thing on the menu. The fried shrimp is excellent also fresh the Gulf. read more

Wahoo's Seafood - Fish N Chips with fried Shrimp in the back - Seafood Markets Near Me - Kerrville, Texas

I found this gem last year at their old location 905 Sidney Baker St location and it was AMAZING. Fast forward to this year (2026) and even though Google still showed the 905 location "open" it has been closed for quite a while as their new river front location on 1701 Junction Hwy is now open. My Uber had to drive me to the new location since they can not list the previous location as "closed" apparently. No biggy. Arrived to the new location (much more up scale/swanky) but grabbed a bar stool and was ready for a repeat of last year as it was THAT GOOD. Server was amazing, drinks and appetizers were amazing, but the main course "special" of the Cajan Ribeye with Blackened Shrimp killed this evening. All the seafood and sides were GREAT but the main feature ribeye was HORRIBLE, very tough, LOTS of sinew and hard fat, I literally could not eat the steak. When my server asked me if I wanted the left overs to go, I pointed to the pile of sinew and half of the steak left and let her know that this piece was sub-par, literally not even a choice cut of meat, she apologized and was going to let the Chef know. Well even after all of that I received a check for the full amount of everything. OK that is fine. I paid my full bill and gave my server 20+% tip as she earned it. Nothing she did would warranty a no tip situation, however NOTHING the management did would warrant a stellar review. I did not want anything comped, but just a simple apology would have been nice?? I can not hold my server responsible for the restaurants lack of proper management, but WOW with over 150.00 bill for food/drinks could you not talk to me about a really crappy steak???? Do BETTER. read more

Great staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fish and chips not so much wonderful. The fish was underseasoned and undercooked.

The waitress was new and did not order the food we asked for. There were 4 people in our party and the orders were repeated several times. When the food came out we told her it was not correct and she just shrugged it off and said that was the way it came. Very pricy to have to pay for that kind of mistake. Not returning read more

Always consistently good.. on all accounts. Would recommend the fish and chips for sure - but I've had different menu items and they are all very good. The staff is professional and friendly.
