The concept of casual and fresh seafood that Florida is known for takes priority over everything else, influencing our daily specials, music, and overall ambience of the restaurant. Florida seafood is our tradition, it's something holy. Flip through a menu of dishes, made fresh and delivered ready-to-eat for brunch, lunch or dinner. Our Gainesville location has a private party room and our Tallahassee location has a banquet hall that can accommodate up 100 guests. It's the perfect venue for a variety of events!

We are new in this part of the country but we kicked off our vacation at The Wahoo Seafood Grill. It was perfect! No wait before 6PM. UNBELIEVABLE seafood deals that change nightly. Roomy dining area and ample bar. But the best best part is Emily - our waitress. Beautiful, clever, attentive, charming and friendly. Our drinks arrived before we ordered them, and we were going to order them! The woman is the BEST asset this restaurant offers, and the restaurant had much to offer.
Great Florida seafood bar and grill. Do not miss it. Ask for Emily.

Visiting from Georgia. My husband was looking forward to the mouth watering Monday all-you-can-eat crab, shrimp, crawfish, corn, and potatoes. Not too many options for vegans if visiting with a friend. Plan to look mainly at the sides menu. Great service from start to finish, thanks to our waiter Carson. Taylor, manager was also on point. 7:30 p.m. arrival time, slow traffic, no crowds, no waiting. Quick seating and service. Clean inviting atmosphere, nice and interesting decor, clean restrooms. ALL Food, seafood and vegan options was fresh and delicious as expected. Overall satisfying food portions

Stopped last year and could not get it because the place was packed now we know why. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and great. Katlyn was our server and was very attentive and made us feel valued. We are from Wisconsin and stop in Tallahassee on our way down in January and back in April and only need to walk across the parking lot to enjoy. Will definitely be back!

I had a very pleasant experience at Wahoo Seafood Grill today.
Both the food and the drink had exceeded my expectations. My friend and I ordered a Super Boil to share and it was more than enough food for us. As for the drink, I ordered the Sunscreen and it was a cute, delicious cocktail to help you enjoy the dinner to its fullest.
However, my good experience didn't just come from the food. The girl who seated us, who I unfortunately didn't get the name of, was very sweet and welcoming. And our server Katie, was one of the coolest human beings I have ever met. She was very helpful, attentive,

Visiting from Texas and was wanting some good seafood. We googled and this place had great reviews so we came by. Upon driving into the parking lot it does look a little sketchy, but once you get inside you get the best customer service I’ve ever experienced & the BEST seafood I’ve had. The hush puppies are absolutely incredible! Tried the gator & calamari with homemade sauces which were great as well. Do not judge this place based on the outside bc once you step inside it’s incredible! Wish we had this place back home in Texas.

Had a very enjoyable lunch here today. They have a lunch menu with reasonable prices. We arrived a little before 1:00 and there were lots of spaces. Masks are still requested and I'm okay with that at the moment. We had a small problem with the temperature of the french fries and the rice. I brought it to the attention of our server and she very politely took it back to the kitchen and brought us fresh hot food. I thought she handled it very well and once it came back to us hot, it was delicious. We had fish and chips, scallops, etouffee and creamed collards. They also brought us a side of cocktail
