The service was not the best, but I did go kinda late, so I'll excuse it. The place was huge! Lots of seating and lots of giant TVs, perfect to watch any sports games. The salsa was definitely from a jar, but the queso was pretty good, I dipped my chips and fries into it. The hush puppies were not very good in my opinion, but again I'm blaming it on being towards the end of the night. The coleslaw was decent, not the most flavor. The savior of all was the 'fried fish Friday' deal, 1/2 lb of fried fish for $10, which is a great deal, but made me assume it wouldn't be the best. I was wrong, compliments to the cook, the fish was AMAZING! It was crispy but still so juicy and tender. I would go back and just get the fish, plus the 2 sauces given with it, I'm not even sure what they were, but they were so good and definitely made in restaurant. read more

We traveled from Jax to meet an ole friend in Tallahassee. Familiar with Wahoo it seemed a great meeting place. Early afternoon on Sunday we arrived (4 of us) bellied up to the bar to find some sweet all day happy hour Sunday specials. Wells$4.00, $2.00 select drafts bottomless Mimosas and more. The bartender was friendly. Our party arrived and we transitioned to a table for 6. We were met by Breanna. Wow was she on point! Attentive not intrusive and allowed us to chat and catch up while refilling drinks and taking a few app orders. Finally time to eat. I ordered a seafood boil crawfish n shrimp delicious. Friend has Shrimp n Grits he really liked his. It was a great visit read more

I was so disappointed in our dinner tonight. We had to wait to be seated as they don't apparently have host staff on Sundays. You have to go to the bar and wait for a bartender to point you to a table. We waited a while fir a server to bring menus, and when she brought our drinks, I sent back my tea as it was bitter. I ordered us a spinach dip for a starter, and we ate two bites because it was watery and not very good. I ordered the bisque and a salad. Both were good. My wife ordered boiled shrimp, and a half dozen raw oysters on half shell. The shrimp were good, but we sent the oysters back because they didn't have any crackers. Overall, the lackluster service and poor attention to detail (bad tea, bad spinach dip, lack of crackers) all mean we won't be returning. read more

So glad we stopped here for dinner while traveling! It's tucked away, but spacious and warm inside with lots of wood decor. The staff were super friendly and our waiter was really attentive. My wife and I had the all you can eat fish and chips that is only offered on Wednesday evening. It was delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly and you get four pieces per order. I had two orders and my wife had one. Delicious fries & coleslaw accompanied the dish. And we really liked their tartar sauce! I would strongly recommend trying the Wednesday night fish and chips special! read more

The all u can eat snow crab legs on Monday night was perfect, but the service was a little slow

The Cesar salad was flavorlessand I almost broke a tooth on the overdone baked oysters. The bartender was nice and courteous.

Love the food !!!! Everything was so good and flavorful! We got ours Togo . The service was quick and everything i needed was in the bag . That was a plus ! The place is very spacious can't wait to return and eat inside ! read more

I had lunch here with a client on a quiet Monday late morning (about 11:30). The service was good and the food was pretty good. I mean, I definitely had better, but that dies not mean that it was not an enjoyable lunch. I ended up going with the blackened grouper sandwich with creamed collard greens. My business client went with the jambalaya. For the price maybe there could have been a bit more food, but all in all, it was not bad. The restaurant is down a quiet side street that leads basically to this restaurant and what looks to be a closed hotel. It is just off of Interstate 10, so if you are traveling and want a good meal but not wanting to stray too far off of the interstate, this would be a good option. I guess that I will give it a solid four stars. read more

Everything was just ok. I would not go back. I had catfish & onion rings. The catfish fillet was large, but lacked flavor. I'm used to seasoned seafood. The batter was too thick. My onion rings and hush puppies were cold. It did have a lot of large TVs if you want to watch sports. read more

Service was terrible Our waiter Nate acted as if he could care less about our experience There was a long wait for our appetizer then when our order came out it was unacceptable I was charged 25.00 for 8 scallops and my husband order was supposed to come with scallops but we were told that I got the last 8 that they gave him extra fish that he didn't even want The manager was ver helpful and understanding that we were disappointed and not very satisfied with our overall experience However we did wait until 8pm to show up but still read more

Service was perfect and they did well making the customer feel welcome. I had the Alfredo chicken pasta which was very good. My only gripe is it's a seafood restaurant but seafood didn't dominate the menu like would expect from a place that has "seafood" in the name of the restaurant. Overall I give the place 4 out of 5. read more

Can't say enough about our server Noah. Many table touches great recommendations. We normally don't eat fried fish when we go to a sports bar. It was fantastic and we eat eat in a lot of restaurants. great priced is very reasonable highly recommended. How many drinks were excellent. read more

Something has changed. They have decided to go to a sports bar crowd. Service is sub par, menus show specials that are no longer available, food has gone down hill. This has been my dinner place for about ten years when staying overnight in Tallahassee. but this last visit was my last. Understand that they are the last Wahoo standing and with the amount of business they had today, not sure they will be standing long. Sure miss the quality food, service, and hospitality I started coming here for. read more

The atmosphere is 5 stars but everything else from the service, to the taste to the price is 2 stars at best. My family was road tripping from Texas to Florida and stopped here for Sunday lunch on the last day of our drive. There were 2 servers working at 1pm and so everything was very slow. The kids Mac and cheese is $6.99 for about 3 spoon fulls of bites, I couldn't believe how small the "bowl" was. And the catfish was $15 for 1 piece of fish and then of course they cover the plate in more French fries than you could eat to make it look like it's worth your money. By the time we were done eating and ready for our check, we waited about 15 minutes for her to come around and then finally just went to the bar and asked to pay out so we could get back on the road. I wouldn't dine again or recommend to another. read more

I've been here quite a few times and surprised that I've not rated it yet. I'm here for lunch today. The crab bisque is very nice with pieces of crab and very nicely seasoned. I would order it again. I had the Wahoo Thermador for an entree. Nicely seasoned piece of fish with a creamy sauce on a bed of rice. Personally, I could have used more of the delicious sauce. Overall, it was a solid lunch at a good price. The waitress kept my coke refilled and I appreciated that. Went again for dinner with family. I had fish and "chips", exchanging the chips for grits. The fish was Swai and I would not have ordered it had I known in advance. The grits were dry and inedible. The bisque was wonderful again but they only had a bowl - for $12. I was expecting a cup but I didn't ask. My niece ordered a shrimp dish with rice. The shrimp was a bit dry. I'm not sure if the have scampi on the menu but that would have been an improvement. Our service was great! read more

Only Swai fish for fish n chips, so ordered mai mai sandwich n fries, worked as a great fish n chips. small Caesar salad. The sandwich was enormous, was wonderfully cooked.

Wish I lived here to enjoy the culinary experience weekly! read more

2-23-23 ( Thursday) at 6:50 PM put on 30 minute wait due to the kitchen being slammed. I worked in kitchens all my life and I have never heard of this! This is part of the hospitality business! Move the food out! You don't hear of Z. Bardhi, saying, " we can't sit you because our kitchen is slammed!" A good restaurant will have other staff push appetizers and alcohol! A 40 minute wait doesn't matter, if you have beer/ wine and Calamari on your table. I was left with a birthday cake in my hand and a party of six waiting! On a previous occasion a delivery order was canceled due to unknown reason by the restaurant. Management needs go on the Kitchen Line and move orders! Perhaps, hire an expeditor or reallocate the staff. Management needs to manage the kitchen better! We were not offered an opportunity to purchase drinks before dinner. We just had an 8 year old on her birthday waiting 30+ minutes in the lobby with the excuse "our kitchen is swamped!" Pictured is the idle section that we waited on for 40 minutes. Not bad for dropping several hundred dollars this evening! read more

Wahoo Seafood - Wahoo - Seafood Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

They are short staffed so if you want to eat at a certain time give yourself 40 minutes to check in. I got the back woods boil and loved every bite of it. One thing I would add if I could. Is for the low country boil give it some soup with the broth so it gives us that fresh appeal with every bite we take. Service was really good always had a refill on my soda at all times. They have a really nice wrap around bar and live music, very friendly atmosphere and beach vibes within this place. read more

The food was delicious! Full of flavor! We ordered the super boil. We started with Cesar salads and cups of gumbo & crab bisque. The crab bisque was amazing! Creamy with crab flakes. I'm going to be wanting this when I'm back in landlocked Austin:( The fish tacos were tasty but the fish was hard. The shrimp tacos with the boom boom sauce were pretty tasty. knocking them a star because service could've been better. The server knew we were a party of 5 and only brought 2 plates and only one crab cracker. We waited for the plates to eat and saw her at other tables taking new orders:/ We took turns with the one claw cracker after the plates arrived! Tip: ask for extra crab/lobster crackers when you order;) read more

Wahoo Seafood - Nice juicy plump oysters. - Seafood Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Wahoo is a great seafood places with decent prices. I got the superboil and crawfish. The seafood was amazing but the seasoning could be better. I asked for extra seasoning on the side to make it extra spicy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. There was so much food I couldn't finish it all. The place is very cute and spacious! They had plenty of parking. They had a live band playing when I was dining. The service was great even when it got extremely packed in the restaurant. I can't wait to come back and try something new on the menu. read more

Off the beaten path to seafood oasis. In town to catch some Noles Baseball stayed close to the restaurant. a"It was an awesome experience, food was right on time the booze hit the spot.

Wahoo Seafood - Wahoo Thermador with grilled corn. - Seafood Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

We decided to try out the dollar oysters last Thursday night. We typically really enjoy Wahoo's food. However, the oysters are another thing. They had a nice taste but there were so many shells in the oysters that we could barely eat them. I really hate this. I hope they get a new shucker for Thursday night. We would like to try them again. read more

Weird area, but GREAT FOOD. I asked the bartender what his top three favorites were and got a shrimp boil the way he recommended. It was incredible. The other bartender recommended a cocktail that had a spiced rum floater and she was right, one will have you all warm and fuzzy. I checked out a popular chain Cajun seafood restaurant a few days after I had Wahoos, and hands down Wahoos did better.... WAY better. read more

When you walk into a Seafood place, you know you are going to get either upscale white table cloth, cheesy pirate decor, whale & wharf decor, or fish shack. This location crosses between the middle two in that it delivers on the atmosphere that I expected from a place called Waloo. But decor won't bring me back, customer service and meal will: Decor: 3 Customer Service: 4. Our server was attentive to our needs and addressed questions and concerns of our party members without an attitude. (You know the one that can come when they hear you don't like a certain seafood and some give the look of "well, why did you come here?) Location: It is ok - 3. Sits near hotels on I-10. Roads in the back and leading in could use some help from the surrounding businesses or city. Food: 3 1/2. Will return to try more offerings. Will order the grilled corn with my seafood. read more

Some family was visiting from Kansas and they were craving seafood so I decided to give Wahoo Seafood a chance since the dishes I see on their Instagram looked amazing. I decided to call ahead and reserve a table for seven by phone. I did not have a very pleasant interaction by phone. It was confusing in that whoever answered laughed and said they only take reservations for tables of eight. I don't know if there is a rule I am ignorant about but I only wanted to have a smooth, stress free dinner. I've gotta be honest with you, I almost chose a different place. We drove a good 20 minutes to get there. Once we arrived, I didn't bother mentioning the "reservation" due to fear of being laughed. What can I say, that's what it felt like when I called. There were two hostess who greeted us. The first one seemed to be managing and told the second hostess to sit us at the 10 seat table. The second hostess started to debate with her about possibly getting busy and saving the table for a bigger party. At this point, I must have been hangry. I'm not going to lie, I thought about leaving. However, I felt the embarrassment the first hostess felt at being questioned in front of us. The first hostess stood her ground and the second hostess proceeded to listen to her and seated us. That was the end of the unpleasantness. Our server was amazing. She was very kind and patient and gave a 10/10 service. She was also very patient with us because we took our time looking over the menu. Between having two children (10 and 3) and chatting away, I cannot be more grateful with her excellent treatment. When we had our food delivered, it was hot and delicious. It was delivered by two different people. Everything tasted fresh and I cannot believe how amazing the Catfish was. That may have been the surprise of the evening in reference to food. The amount was more than enough and I don't believe anything was left. We probably ate too much because everything was that delicious! We had plenty of check backs from our server, always making sure we had enough to drink and took away trays that were empty. We also had a couple of people, maybe managers, asking how everything was. All in all, FOOD WAS AMAZING. When my husband and I got in the car, he asked if we could come back again. I thought about it and decided, the food is worth it. The unprofessional phone interaction (forgot to mention I heard laughter in the background after I tried making a reservation) and the hostess trying to give us a, idk, smaller table? and questioning the hostess organizing the placement, I could have done without. Anyways, I'm glad I didn't turn around from the initial interaction but do realize I could have easily decided on a different restaurant based on them. read more

This restaurant probably survives based on the older regulars enjoying the happy hour drinks at the bar and the motel patrons surrounding the place. Sort of old and dated but relatively clean.

Maybe next visit. read more

A hidden gem with a solid seafood meal and a super attentive waiter made our experience a great one. It started out a little rocky when the hostess sat us in the large dining area with live music playing. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue but I was more in for hearing my dining mates. I asked that we be moved, and was immediately seated in a better location with no issues. Anyway, as a staple, at any seafood restaurant, I always get fried shrimp, it's how I gauge seafood joints I suppose... The shrimp (12) were cooked as good as any I have had in comparable priced restaurants in the area. The fries and hush puppies were plenty added to my side salad and meal to fill my belly. The service was excellent and Kotes our waiter was really friendly and very attentive to our requests. We will be returning for sure as I saw several other items I wanted to try. read more

So I personally am not a huge fan of seafood but honestly I really enjoyed the food. Food: I got a blackened mahi sandwich with Mac and cheese. 5 stars there which is weird for me but I really liked it but it may have been too salty. Maybe ask them to go easy on the salt. The Mac and cheese was amazing though! The rest of my party got a broil and they seemed to enjoy it and said it was very fresh. Service/decor: So it took a while for our waitress to greet us and service was a bit slow. Nothing crazy though. They also had a live band playing which is cool but it was way too loud for a restaurant. read more

Taco Tuesday. Walking distance from hotels. Kinda hidden in back. Signs are there. Got chicken taco special 3 for $10. Lite sprinkling of cabbage, aoli sauce and a sprinkling of cold Kraft cheddar shreds. Chicken was a single strip of grilled chicken. Fair at best. Beer 3$ a tall pint. Within minutes of food served in bar area, bugs, little knats were in our face. Gross. Spend entire meal swatting them away while the waitress watched from a far . .
