Wahoo! Grill - Decatur

Overall wahoo! Rarely disappoints. Food is usually solid, cocktails are delicious and the service is super friendly (shout out to Tiffany behind the bar).

We had an amazing graduation lunch for my daughter. Pam and her team were impeccable with their service and the food was enjoyed by all. The small dining room was intimate and yet not cramped. Would definitely host another small gathering here.

A year ago we had the pleasure of getting married at Wahoo Grill. Tonight we returned to celebrate our anniversary and had an amazing experience with our waitress Megan! Hearing it was our anniversary, she gifted us some complimentary champagne. The food was excellent and the service was even better!

Nestled in a secret garden off College Ave, Wahoo! Grill has been serving Decatur for 18 years and we know why they love it. The moment you walk in the door you’re greeted with an indoor-outdoor vibe, in the main dining space, while outside a large patio that feels secluded. On the menu, a wide variety of options abound from Wahoo fish to lamb to southern staples, as well as a great cocktail menu and desserts. Let’s explore. Starting with their signature Grilled Wahoo Sofrito that’s tender yet meaty and topped with a tomato forward Spanish sofrito sauce, earthy, crunchy asparagus, and an earthy, seasoned savory risotto underneath. OR go for their new menu item, the grilled half rack of lamb, our favorite bite of the day! Succulent and tender, well-seasoned lamb, the rhubarb sauce underneath is sweet and juxtaposed the savory meat. Then, paired with a sharp and herbaceous potatoes au gratin and earthy asparagus! Plus, Wahoo! Grill’s cocktail program is “perfection” with this Pina en la pina is a fresh and tangy pina colada style drink with a great tang, cream, and dash of nutmeg. And for the finale, make sure to sample the bread pudding; it’s grandmother’s recipe! It is warm and rich, stuffed with raisins topped with a creamy bourbon glaze. OMG! Other menu highlights include the Pimento cheese Fritters! They are sinful crispy bites stuffed with pimento cheese inside then a sharp and a sweet spicy tomato sauce underneath! Also, their solid fried green tomatoes that are crispy, perfectly breaded outside, slightly crisp yet tender tomato inside, then a balsamic drizzle for brightness and cool goat cheese to round out the bite. They typically come with shrimp, but we got without. Fried chicken, a staple of Wahoo! Grill’s menu, is plump and tender, and has a great crunch outside. Paired with collard greens that are rich, spicy and savory, as well as crunchy warm fries. Finish it off with, A crime of passion, an herbaceous and floral gin cocktail mixed with juicy passion fruit and lime, then a rose petal rim to dress it up!

Went in on a lively Mother's Day evening, honestly will be taking my mum here in future as the setting was picturesque. Sat at the bar which was gorgeous and clean and bartender Tiffany was wonderfully accommodating. Made me a cocktail straight from her brain that was literally me in a glass. Bar was lively and full of conversation between strangers. Had the mussels which were so fresh and the sauce they were steamed in was more ish and so flavorful that I ordered frites to mop it up. Can't wait to come back here again!
