Pam the owner accommodated about 30 of us from The Atlanta Running Meetup a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning for brunch. I made reservations with her about a week before,...

I've been twice now. Both times were so so. I'm not very picky, but the food so far has been consistantly bland. My chicken was bland and it was a dish I cook much better at ho...

I love this place! 3/14/2007

Wahoo is a great restaurant to enjoy dinner and drinks with a group of friends or a significant other. The food is delicious and the ambiance is charming. I highly recommend it! more

Good appetizer but no where to sit 1/23/2007

My husband and I went here on Saturday night with some friends. We got there at 7:00 pm and were told it would be about 35 minutes until a table was open. We went the bar, ordered drinks, and socialized. The place was packed and about an hour later, we checked with the hostess about seating again. She told us 2 other parties were ahead of us so we ordered an appetizer at the bar because we were starving. The appetizer (calamari) was very good; the hoisin and mayhaw sauce was a nice contrast of spicy and sour. During the course of another hour I saw 2 other parties seated, and then a 3rd (and it looked like others were being seated in the back room). Either the seating hostess couldn't count or wasn't telling the truth. We left, as did the people at the bar standing behind us when they heard how long we had waited. Reading some Wahoo reviews here, it appears the management does not care that some people have a lousy experience. Call ahead 30 minutes and then be placed behind others who have already arrived--double time system? Either take reservations or make it first-come, first-serve. Eating out shouldn't be this difficult. I have no intention of returning any time soon. more

Amazing Food, Great Service, Lovely Atmosphrere 1/10/2007

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Decatur. The ambiance is awesome and the food is amazing. Just when you thought it could not get any better, the service is awesome!!! You can dine outside which is heated by heat-lamps and is enclosed by plastic draping. Or you can sit in side which is beautiful. There is a great television and brilliant bar. Pros: Everything in this resturant is Awesome!!!! more

Awesome patio, very good seafood 10/26/2006

This is an excellent place to bring family. My girlfriend and I had to pick a restaurant for my parents and their friends, a party totalling 9. My father requested that we not eat at a vegetarian place, and one of their friends does not eat red meat. So, it was great to have a choice for good seafood in Decatur. We made reservations, and we were promptly seated on the patio, which has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The service was top notch, as always. We have a hard time trying anything aside from the ahi tuna dish, which is amazing. I also recommend the bread pudding. My only complaint about Wahoo would be the parking. On busy nights, you may have to get creative and park across the street near the train tracks. Pros: great service, very fresh food Cons: parking can be difficult more

Good every time! 10/5/2006

The place has never let me down! The food is fabulous, and the bar - though small - is a delight. It is a busy little place, so go early or skip busy times, but even if you do have to wait it is worth it! Pros: patio price food Cons: parking more

Good eats....GREAT PATIO! 9/24/2006

First off, I love how this place is somewhat tucked away on the other side of the tracks in Decatur. It's next door to an auto body shop, but has a great ambience inside and outside on its secluded and cozy patio area. The food is good (probably better than I thought due the fact that I ordered the wrong thing, but that's another story). Fish dishes are good and the others in my party said their fish sandwhiches were excellent. Wahoo's side dishes are the only things that need a little work I think. The vegetable medly I got were more like ingredients that you'd cut up and cook with something else...not as a stand alone dish. Other than that food was good and the patio was great even though it was raining. Almost forgot...they're deserts are amazing! Try the coconut cake; you'll freak. Pros: Great deserts, Easy parking, Tucked away location Cons: Side dishes more

Great ambience and people, but not so great bread pudding 9/22/2006

i was visiting Atlanta from NY, and I wanted to try some bread pudding after dinner. So, i read reviews, and found this place and took some bread pudding to go. It was decent, but not something you would drive 15 mins to get. more

Fun, casual, tasty 8/24/2006

We really enjoy this place. Not fancy, but very good food, large portions, moderate prices, large drinks, friendly service. We always think of Wahoo when we want a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere. They don't take reservations and can get very busy. Try the bread pudding for dessert, it is the best we have ever had and plenty to share. Pros: Good food, large portions Cons: no reservations more

What a comfort restaurant should be 5/5/2006

We love this place. The look will not impress, but the huge plates, flavorful food and friendly relaxed service will keep you coming back. Lots of choices with each entree, apps large enough to share and the ""bowl"" of bread pudding for dessert is a must have to share -- the two of us could not finish -- maybe 4 could. Drinks are large, prices low. So if you want to fill your belly with good food in a relaxed atmosphere, then you need to give Wahoo a try. Only complaint is they do not take reservations ... but do take call ahead which is a must because they are busy every night. Pros: Portions, Great Tastes, Large desserts Cons: No reservations more

Excellent in several ways 5/3/2006

We've been dining at Wahoo for over a year now and the place just keeps getting better and better. The service tends to be either very good or excellent. The staff are friendly, kind, courteous and have a knack for remembering even occasional regulars. The wine list is adequate and the Martini menu will be sufficient for most patrons. When the weather is nice, the backyard garden-patio area provides a beautiful and romantic setting for a candlelight dinner. Last but not least, the menu is very reasonably priced for the service and food. Highly recommended. more

great value and service 1/24/2006

I've been there twice. The first time was for dinner and the food was average, service was acceptable and atmosphere was pleasant. Parking was kind of a pain, but that wasn't too big of a deal. Everything was acceptable at Wahoo, but nothing stood out. We came back for Sunday Brunch and found that they were very accomodating and had a great brunch menu. If you live in Decatur, try it out. Pros: value, service Cons: parking more

A total disappointment 1/16/2006

I was excited to try Wahoo, unfortunately, my excitement was met with complete disappointment. I had a party of 4 and, therefore, could not make a reservation but was informed that theres call ahead seating. The night of, I called ahead and placed my name on the 40 minute wait. When I arrived at Wahoo within 35 minutes, the hostess informed me the wait was going to be another 30-40 minutes. The wait ended up being 55 more minutes - a total of 85 minutes!! She had no regrets for the fact that she could not do her job and accurately give a wait time. After placing our food and drink order we were then informed that they had no cold glasses for our beer and no more mashed potatoes which seem to be a side on almost every entree. All in all, a horrible experience with horrible customer service. more

ATLANTA CAN DO BETTER 1/13/2006

We never made it to a table. They do not manage the traffic flow, reservations or the turning of tables well. We called for reservations and they have a DOUBLE time system, which means you call 30 minutes before your arrival, and then you are put behind those already arrived. We saw people that came in late being sat before us. Quaint - yes if you like parking in a mud hole on train tracks, dirty flowers and greasy chandeliers. Located in a very odd area of Decatur, it seems to have gained alot of popularity by locals that frequent the bar, situated in the middle of a very small space, after work. Folks - if you have time to sit and wait in a restaurant that has no waiting room with others equally frustrated or leaving empty stomached - this is your place. Cons: Location , Parking, Seating more

REALLY ENJOYED IT! 1/4/2006

I was introduced to Wahoo back in September when a friend took a few of us there a couple of days before my sisters wedding. We sat outside on the enclosed patio and it was wonderful! The quesadillas.... incredible! They were not your typical quesadillas which is probably what made them so delicious! Unfortuanately my entree wasn't as remarkable. I had the halibut and it was NOT fresh! We were one of the last customers that night and I really had already enjoyed the appetizers and wine, so I decided not to make it an issue. I moved on to desert and ordered the, if I'm not mistaken, blackberry cobbler. It was very good and made up for the bad halibut! Overall we enjoyed ourselves. I plan on going back for Sunday brunch in hopes that it will be so good I will COMPLETELY forget about that horrible halibut! Pros: patio, service more

Excellent 12/18/2005

Brunch buffet was delicious and an incredible value at $15. Only complaint was how close together the tables against the wall are. But with a small place, how else would be able to get everyone in the door? So it's a minor complaint. I highly recommend this place. Pros: value, food Cons: proximity of tables more

LOVED it!! 10/28/2005

We went to this restaurant for a business gathering with low expectations (look at the name!), but it was GREAT! The mussels were REALLY good (an AMAZING sauce), the tomato soup was wonderful, and the chicken dish that my husband and I shared was simple but perfect. The atmosphere is great for business, pleasure, or a date! Our only disappointment was the bread pudding. It tasted like a doughnut with sugary glaze. Other than that, highly recommended! Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Nice Patio Cons: Limited Parking more
