My husband and I met former coworkers here for an early afternoon lunch on a whim. What a pleasant experience! Really cute establishment in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Betty waited on our table. She had such good energy and was super knowledgeable about the menu. I'd like to come back and request her specifically. My husband had the smoked shrimp and grits and I had the smoked fried chicken with lemon mashed potatoes and street corn. Both were excellent! I'm not in this area of Dallas often, but I will make it a point to come back. I forgot to mention my cocktail! I had the Honey Bourbon Limoncello and boy was it good. I'm a lightweight so I couldn't try any of the other cocktails but their cocktails all look delicious! read more

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey had all the potential to be a great experience, but overall it ended up feeling a bit underwhelming. The highlight of the night was easily our server, truly one of the best I've ever had. Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. If the review were based on service alone, it would be five stars. We started with the chicken nachos, which were fresh and actually pretty good. For entrees, we ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Unfortunately, the chicken fried steak was very bland and tasted like it was missing seasoning altogether. The sides were okay, but nothing memorable. We also tried the rib plate with corn and mashed potatoes. Again, it was edible, but the flavors just didn't pop, everything felt like it needed more seasoning or a stronger profile to stand out. The staff was great across the board, but the food just didn't match the level of service. Not the worst experience, but definitely not the best food wise. read more

Wow! How can this have been at Cityline for all these years and I've never been? It took a colleague retiring and a team lunch to celebrate her for me to make my way here. I was nervous because I didn't want us to go the party room / set menu route, yet we had a group of 16. Wildwood couldn't have been more accommodating! Portions were excellent sized and everything was served at the same time - as it should be. We couldn't have asked for a better environment. Truly if possible I would give this 4.75 stars because those who ordered burgers discovered it came with no condiments. That seemed a little strange and only because of the lunch rush it took a bit of time to get something. But otherwise our service was exceptional and the food delicious. read more

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey - Southern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I went here for my birthday with my parents and in-laws! It was a great local spot with fresh, delicious dinner meals and a wide-array of drinks. I think for Richardson it's a great spot for date night and celebrations. Our server Blake was effusive, kind, and one of the most personable waiters we have ever had. He really made us all feel special. read more

It was a rainy evening, and my husband and I were driving in an area we don't normally go to for dinner. And that's when we saw Wildwood Smoke and Craft Whiskey. We walked in with no expectation... we didn't even check reviews before opening the door. To our surprise, it was a charming place. A little rustic meets class for the interior. I love finding places like that. A comfortable environment, a waiter that was kind and cared about our experience. It was just a great experience. I ordered the smoked salmon - a delicious! It had a great lemon sauce in it. The mashed potatoes were very good. It just paired so well together. I snuck a few fries from my husband's plate and wow! Who knew fries could taste this good! We are already talking about coming back for dinner soon. It was that good. read more

Great business lunch today. Jerry Trevino and his team are a symphony in action. Atmosphere and ambience contributed to a dining experience that facilitated our conversations. So critical to business and personal enjoyment. Appetizer menu has tasty choices. We had the chicken fried chicken and hanger steak dishes Dessert was bread pudding and crème brûlée Server and wait staff were super attentive I recommend this restaurant! See you there read more

Great martinis, wish they had Botanist gin but Hendricks was a decent substitute, best blackened grouper I've ever had and our server was energetic and efficient. I forget about this gem of a restaurant, but hopefully this will change with that tasty grouper on my mind! The atmosphere is fine, nothing special but not a detractor either. The Firewheel restaurant is consistent with its delivery of good cocktails, great food and service and the ambiance may be a little better due to being a freestanding building and not located in a 'strip shopping center'. Wildwood obviously has excellent management teams. read more

Wildwood has been on our radar for a while, but with mixed reviews, we weren't sure if we wanted to go. But the fact that they are family-owned, and they take reservations, encouraged us to try them. Five of us went, each ordering completely different things to test the menu. We had a good experience depending on what you order. Stick to the grill. The burgers, steaks, and anything fire-touched were flavorful, juicy, and clearly made fresh. Tread lightly with other dishes. Some non-grilled items seemed reheated. Not terrible, but definitely not the star of the show. Service for us was fantastic! From the hostess to the server to the manager, everyone was friendly and genuinely seemed to care that we liked our food and was having a good time. If you enjoy a small bar for cocktails ... they offer a generous Happy Hour (ask about their tasting events). If you're looking for delicious desserts to enjoy in a cozy ambiance, definitely consider this location. They serve up huge slices of yummy desserts!! We LOVED the chocolate cake -- even our pickiest dessert expert was quiet because she couldn't quit eating on it lol. Casual meets classy is the vibe, but the dress code is very casual. Its worth mentioning that the outdoor patio is full-service, and beautfully decorated with string lights and a small inviiting modern fireplace. Nice! Bonus: Doggos are welcome on the patio (Yes, I confirmed that with the manager.) Overall.. Wildwood is a laid-back, local gem, that hits just right if you know what to order. We'll definitely be back--with appetites and a dog in tow. read more

I didn't even know this location existed until stumbling upon it for a spontaneous lunch. We happened to visit during their Tuesday entree special. I can't remember the exact discount but I think we were able to order the pecan crusted chicken for around $10 if I'm not mistaken. Great portion size too! We ordered the spinach dip and I wasn't too impressed, especially the kind of chips offered. I appreciated my chicken and green beans with mashed potatoes! Heats up well for leftovers. read more

My wife and I visited Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey (aka: Wildwood Grill) a couple of weeks back. We were on our way back from visiting the Titanic Exhibition and decided we would try someplace we had not eaten at before. After a fairly quick Look at Yelp*, in hopes of finding something on our way home, we decided on the Wildwood Grill. It was after the lunch rush, and well before the dinner rush, so the place was quiet, with only a couple of tables occupied when we entered. Another couple entered right after we did. So, the place was pretty much empty. Our Server greeted us and seated us promptly, and took our drink order. Again, since this was our first time dining at Wildwood Grill, I expressed I was interested in possibly trying a Flight of Whiskey. Without hesitation, our Server brought the Spirits menu. Over the next few minutes, our server made a couple of attempts at asking if I was ready to order Spirits. I wasn't. In fact, after seeing the prices for a Flight (three x 1oz shots) of Whiskies, the least expensive being $28, I was almost decidedly content on not ordering any at all! I, instead, just expressed that I was not ready to place a Spirits order and returned to the food menu. Since we had not eaten at Wildwood Grill, we opted for a couple of Starters (Pretzel Bread with "Dragon Dip" and the Asadero Fried Cheese Blocks), and I opted for a Wedge Salad and the Hickory Smoked Wings Starter as my meal. My wife ordered the Grilled Center-Cut Filet, which came with Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus. We decided that anything we did not eat at our sitting, we would take as leftovers for our hungry son, at home. We both enjoyed the Asadero Fried Cheese Blocks (Who doesn't love Fried Cheese??!!??), and the Pretzel Bread loaves were hot and delicious! My wife did not care much for the Dragon Dip, but I loved it as well! I also thoroughly enjoyed my Wedge Salad and found the portion size ample. My wife's meal was not promoted with a salad and neither was she offered one, as an additional Side or otherwise. I found that a little odd! When asked what flavor of Wings I would like, from the available options, I expressed that I preferred whichever were considered to be the spiciest/hottest. I was served the Pineapple something or another-sauced Wings, which our Server indicated that "according to the chef" were the hottest. Well, plainly stated: the wings had absolutely ZERO heat on the chili scale! And, while they were okay - taste wise, they were not something I would order again. I did not mind the sweetness of the pineapple so much, but the lack of heat was seriously disappointing! As for my wife's meal, her steak was correctly cooked to Medium, but the somewhat sweet Cabernet Reduction completely clashed with the more savory Herbed Butter topping the steak. And the steak, being advertised as a "Center Cut Filet," neither chewed, nor tasted like such. Which, at a $38 price point was also, VERY disappointing. I normally would finish whatever portion of a steak my wife could not eat, but after a couple of bites of Wildwood Grill's Filet, I had my "fill, ehh?!" and left the remaining portion on the plate! My wife's Mashed Potatoes were on point and were very tasty. Her Grilled Asparagus, on the other hand, were few and had burned tips. Needless to say, my wife's meal was the low point of our dining experience! I very much wanted to like Wildwood Grill, because of its somewhat uniqueness, but all things considered, I just could not! The highlight of our meal was the attentiveness of our Server... and the Fried Cheese. If you decide to give Wildwood Grill a chance, I hope your dining experience is better than ours was overall! And, get the Fried Cheese, it just may save the day!! Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey - Overpriced Meal. IMHO. - Southern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I AM a fan of breakfast at Wildwood. I finally tried lunch and it was a miss for me. Breakfast definitely is a HIT! Drinks were really good! 4 STARS! Food was ok 2.5 STARS Ribs were blah seemed a bit fatty and the sauce was boring. Asparagus I thought was tasty and cooked well. Mashed potatoes were pretty good. Presentation was nice. Mozzarella squares a spin on mozzarella sticks were interesting. Caesar salad was ok and the dressing was delicious. Service was the saving grace. Our waiter was nice and pleasant. Ambiance always a good vibe. It's a cozy spot to eat and drink at. So I think I will stick with breakfast. The overall experience was decent. read more

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey - Tajin rim made this cocktail perfect. - Southern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I picked this restaurant for dinner based off of Yelp reviews, and you all were not kidding. This was some of the best food I've ever had. Went for dinner after traveling all day and was starving. It was a Tuesday where they have a deal for two entrees for the price of one, and I was hungry enough to go for it. I got the salmon and the steak, and ate everything brought out to me. Topped it off with an Old Fashioned that was very well made (and I am picky about my Old Fashioned). The coworkers I was with also got some bread pudding and chocolate cake for dessert, but by that point I could only manage a bite of each because I was so full. I'd try the bread pudding if I went again. That one bite was really good. read more

We were driving around in the rain looking for a new place to try when we happened upon Wildwood. Coming in from the rain, we received a warm welcome from Jeffery, who greeted us, seated us, and then who we would find out would be our server. He was fantastic. Genuine and helpful with a fantastic attitude. The ambiance was nice. It was earthy with woods and leathers. It had a bit of vintage flair, with modern class. The music was great too, like The Cure, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads kind of great! I ordered the Grouper Sandwich. My wife ordered the grilled Salmon. Both were perfectly prepared and delicious! The fries that my sandwich came with were really good too. This place is so much a repeater that I can't wait to come back! Review #2101 read more

The meatballs were good and flavorful. I recommend that appetizer. For entree, I ordered chicken fried steak and it was tough. Green beans and chicken fried steak were way too salty and the steak was chewy and overcooked. The mashed potato didn't have enough seasoning. It was so imbalanced. We had team lunch here and if we come back, I might try the pecan chicken next time. Services was great! read more

The food and service are amazing! We stopped by again for the 2 for Tuesday special, where we were able to enjoy two of the entree meals listed on the 2 for Tuesday menu for only $29! What a deal!

The food was solid and packed with flavor. I had the brisket and it was tender with that perfect smoky edge. The sides were fresh and well-seasoned, and the cocktails had a creative twist I loved. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt relaxed yet upscale enough to make it feel like a night out. Would definitely go back, especially for the bar menu. read more

Not impressed. I've always heard mixed reviews when it comes to this place. My team from work went here for lunch and majority of the group didn't like their food. No lunch menu and the food is expensive. Ordered Pecan Smoked Salmon and the salmon was overcooked, dry and tasteless. The Asparagus weren't any better. The mashed potatoes were average. The waiter was ok. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've been here a few times and every time the service and food have been amazing. Best restaurant in the cityline area hands down! Great for a date or after work dinner with your coworkers! Really calm and relaxed inside. I like that the lighting is a bit dim and it's not too loud. The salmon and risotto i had this night was incredible. Another favorite from here is the shrimp and grits. Soooo good! read more

Food was decent! Don't put lemon in the mash potatoes though!! And Fish n Chips should be served with Malt vinegar not a funky so called tartar sauce!! You guys don't need to try and add lots of spices and flavors to some typical dishes though. Sometimes simple is the best way. read more

I had grilled chicken salad and the chicken was burned with a bitter taste. The mixed greens were fresh and good. The grill chicken breast was tough and dry, hard to cut and chew. read more

We visited for the second time, dinner on a Friday evening, and again were able to get the table reserved mid-morning of the same day. Friendly and helpful staff, and an excellent meal. Pecan crusted chicken is good; smoked fried chicken is way better! The sides that come with it are lemon mashed potatoes (!) and street corn off the cob with bacon. Both excellent. We again got the huge wedge, with blue cheese crumbles and pecans on board. Thanks again Wildwood! read more

What a great experience! First and foremost, they DO have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis! The service at the bar was phenomenal! Both bartenders last night were engaging and friendly. The food was delicious! Perfect spot for a Friday night after a loooong work week. read more

We dined at Wildwood today for lunch around 1:30 pm. We were seated upon arrival with no wait and the server immediately engaged. She was very attentive and friendly and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The food was delicious and ambiance was very relaxing. I recommend the whiskey bbq smoked wings, smoked meatballs with berry chipotle glaze and the chicken BLT. We will be back soon to try several other menu items that caught our attention. read more

11/28/23: This was our first visit. We went on A Tuesday evening for dinner. Alma was our hostess, and she did a great job. My wife had a Grapefruit Martini, and I had a Smoked Old Fashioned. The Alma prepared the Smoked Old Fashioned at our table, which was a really nice experience. We had the Asadero Fried Cheese Blocks as an appetizer. She had the Hanger "Butcher's Cut" with a loaded baked potato and green beans, and I took advantage of the 2 for Tuesdays special. I had the Pecan Crusted Chicken and the Atlantic Salmon. Our food was very good, and the atmosphere was great. The restaurant was very clean, very nicely decorated, and parking was plentiful. Towards the end of our meal, I saw John, who was bartending, and I had met him before at a different restaurant. read more

Everything. Has a great steak and the smoked old fashioned. Great meal; great service.

Met two good friends for dinner here. They are big fans of Wildwood. The ambience is nothing to write home about and spaces are a little tight if you're very tall. Service was unfortunately below average as our server kept forgetting what our orders were and at times mixing them up. Nice guy, but needed more experience I guess. We began with cocktails. They make a nice smoked old-fashioned. All of their drink prices were very reasonable. The lettuce wrap chicken appetizer is not bad and it's enough to split for four people. I tried the roasted poblano Caesar salad and was not very impressed. Wildwood offers special entree pricing during the week and we were amazed at how reasonable the prices were in today's inflation world. On Tuesdays they offer entrées like Atlantic Salmon for $12.50! OK they're not huge portions, but they're plenty to eat and the salmon was very good. read more

What a nice location of a restaurant. We had a late lunch on a Saturday, Eric was the manager and Landon our server. Both very pleasant people. We shared a bottle of Caymus cab along with the Dragon burger & spicy chicken sandwich. All deliciousness. Great Date with the Hubby. read more

While staying in the area for a baby shower, my husband (who's a whiskey enthusiast) perked up when I mentioned this place had a variety of whiskey (his favorite) and gluten-free foods that catered to my intolerance. The service was absolutely wonderful. We found the restaurant to be a bit warm on the inside, but it wasn't unbearable. We ordered smoked old fashioneds, and I had the chicken sandwich while my husband had a burger. Their gluten-free buns are perfection. It wasn't crumbly or falling apart. Best of all - I didn't get sick from any cross-contamination. We will definitely be back next time we're in Dallas! read more

Wildwood Smoke Craft Whiskey - Chicken Sandwich on Gluten-Free Bread - Southern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This was our first visit and I'm confident it won't be our last. We started with the Smoked Cauliflower Florets. We expected more from this appetizer - but it didn't stop us from eating it. We didn't taste the Smokey flavor and the flavor came more from the buffalo sauce served with it. I went with the small Quinoa Kale & Spinach salad. The portion was perfect for me as I knew we couldn't take left overs with us. The flavor of the balsamic vinaigrette was awesome. It was the right balance and amount to complement the dish rather than drowning the greens and grains. My husband had the Smoked Bolognese. This was a delicious dish! Great flavor and fresh noodles. The only thing that would have made it better was to have a bigger portion size. The service was great both by our server and the runners making sure the food went out when it was ready. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming. read more

Service was good. Atmosphere was excellent. The fish tacos were good but the ribeye was one of the worst I have ever ordered. Three bites and I left the rest. Tough, thin, cooked poorly, and chewy. This was our first time and our last time to visit Wildwood. read more

Our dining experience this evening was disappointing due to a noticeable lack of professionalism and subpar service. After we placed our drink orders, it appeared that our server's attitude toward us changed, which contributed to an uncomfortable atmosphere throughout our meal. Despite the restaurant not being busy, we experienced unusually long wait times for service. Our server was largely absent for the duration of our visit, while we observed other servers in the same section attending to their tables promptly and attentively. This disparity in service was both frustrating and disheartening. We would not recommend this place based on how we were treated, especially when it's clear that better service is possible from other staff. I shouldn't have even tip, and my wife wanted to write "poor service" on the receipt. read more

It was ok, nothing to go wow about it. It is my personal opinion, if you want to try it go right ahead but I will pass. Server was super nice. read more

Picked up lunch today. Ordered the hanger steak and they were perfectly cooked and really tasty. You can't beat their mashed potatoes and the green beans were delish. The service was good as usual. Not cheap but worth the money to get such good food. read more

Parking: Located in a shopping center - plenty of free parking. Interior: Fairly modern, but nothing exciting. Service: It was a busy brunch, so service was a bit slow. Food: Hanger & eggs was delicious! Drinks: I ordered some hot tea - they brought out a tea box and there were maybe 5 tea bags in there (and 3 were decaffeinated). Overall: I prefer the Garland location but this place is worth a visit if you're in the Richardson area! read more

Offered and tried new appetizers: Smoked meatballs on mashed and burrata salad with grilled tomatoes. Ben was our server, a really great young man.

All in all, one of our best last-minute dinners out in quite a while. Will certainly be back. read more

Wildwood has a large variety of food and drinks. The food is always excellent. It is very tasty. The meat is well seasoned. Service comes with a smile from the moment that you walk in and are seated.

It gives the feel of Kentucky, whiskey, smoke, low and slow, delicious! Kudos to Eric the manger on duty. Eric is very polite and customer service friendly.
